Category Ideas for the Shop and payments!

[DestrotankAI9 1,513]

Thanks for the feedback . 

Ah yes indeed, even 1 dedicated slot for crystal kits would be a big improvement, with so many kits available now (which as I say is a good thing), with only one slot even then it would still be pretty difficult to land on the correct kit - but one slot would certainly be much better than the way things are now. I think having dedicated slots for each section to be sold in the Shop Showcase would improve the system immensely. The new Shop showcase and kit system is interesting, but because as I say of the way it's been implemented, there is almost no chance of getting useful kits for crystals ever, so in a practical sense it is almost as if non-tankoin kits have been removed from the game, which is a very disappointing situation.

Even for buyers as I say, most buyers are not going to be able or willing to afford to buy a new kit on every Mk level on or every account. Many players in this game have many alts (very few are going to buy tons of kits on all their alts), and some people may buy things such as battle pass/bundles but not buy more expensive items such as kits. Not to mention free-to-play players of course. So I think the vast majority of the playerbase, and that includes all but the largest of buyers, would find the current system very annoying and it could have unseen economic damage when players leave the game or play less because they find parts of the game poorly designed or not as engaging. While I can understand the devs wanting people to focus on Tankoin kits -Tankoin kits will still allow you to get the kit you want any time, at a lower rank even with slightly more available crystal kits -  so I don't think overall economically there would be much of a detriment to this idea. In fact it may even be beneficial to the game's income in hard to measure ways, as it will improve the player experience.

Thanks for passing my ideas on, I hope they take it on board Many other players of course, have suggested pretty much the same thing too.

Wow this idea is really good. We should really implement this

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Now that we have Ultra containers for holidays and special events, I guess that its time for releasing another container for holidays and special events as well. This time, a new container called Premium Container would only give premium time for players. The good news is that a premium container can benefit non-buyers with free premium time. Premium containers would only be available during holidays and special events. To earn them, players would be required to complete Special Missions from the Special tab to earn them. Premium containers will not be available to buy from the shop, nor anywhere else. Also, other containers would never supply them. The only way to earn Premium containers is by completing Special missions.

Premium containers would only give a random amount of premium time. It could be a day, a few days or weeks, or at most one month of premium time.

The appearance of the Premium container would have a different color. That is a color associated with premium. Therefore red.

Premium container (about):

1. Red physical color.

2. Contains only premium time.

3. Only available during holidays and special events.

4. Obtainable only during celebrations (holidays and events) and when successfully completing a special mission.

5. Rank - Legend. This is a Legend only exclusive container. That means that if you are a Legend ranked player, you are able to earn this container from completing special missions.

[Devoid 2,601]

I doubt this container would be only available for Legend ranks, but I could definitely see this being a feature in the game. It would be great to have a way of getting Premium Account in another way, rather than by purchasing it from the Shop, or getting lucky with regular Container drops.

Was looking alright until I came across this.

Why not just directly award Premium, like the 'earn 200000 score' special mission did in the Lockdown 2.0 event.

One might think that the special missions awarding Premium containers would be easy, and worth even 1 day of Premium. But when a company adds a product that gives a variety of rewards, the difficulty (or grinding) required to get the product is based on the medium reward. This usually means disappointment for those that got lower rewards for more effort, and joy for a few lucky ones that got higher rewards.

If you consider Tanki, however, its greedy policies with ensure that the effort is based only on the maximum reward. Meaning, that you will need to do tons of grinding to get a Premium container. If you're very lucky, you'll get what you deserve- 1 month of Premium.

Else- Tanki doesn't care for ya, sucker.

For more more than three and a half months I had been waiting for eyjafjallajokul kit(or at least any other mammoth kit). Kits for crystals hardly ever appear. At last that kit appeared yesterday. I felt so happy but then I saw I couldn’t buy it because it was for TANKOINS.

I’ve been patient, but this takes too much time and after all, time is money... so I think that the rate in which kits for crystals appear should be increased a lot. Like 3 or 4 crystal kits per week at least? Because not all players in tanki online are buyers and it would be too hard otherwise for non-buyers to get a kit they want.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

The super long mission like with lockdown missions are only suitable during the time of the lockdown.

Premium can still be purchased from the shop as usual, but free premium would only be given as special missions that are not too hard but challenging enough to last for a couple of days or more. However, I agree that the difficulty of the missions would be tied to the length of premium that is rewarded when the premium container is claimed.

[Devoid 2,601]

I doubt any changes will be made to provide more kits for crystals, other than the slight possibility of making one spot have a guaranteed kit available for crystals, but even that is a stretch. I wouldn't be opposed to the idea, and Players surely wouldn't be, but I don't know if the Developers would think the same way.

I am waiting for more than 3 months for a single shaft kit (idm hull), and i havn't seen any.

This idea is just aim to help the game financially. I think bundles are a good way to do that.

 

Limited time paint bundles:

For those time of the year. For example the spring paint bundle can just have paints that have flowers on them, the Valentine's day paint bundle can have the paints that have hearts on them, and the cosmonauts paint bundle can have paints that have anything to do with the outer space.

Module bundles:

this one, is one of the P2W bundles than can be obtained and can give out 3 or 4 bundles in one purchase. I have come up with 8 combinations so far:

1. Universal tier 1.

2. Universal tier 2.

3. Universal tier 3.

4. Universal tier 4.

5. Melee rangers got nothing on me.

6. Short ranged assassin.

7. Mid range damage tank.

8. I eat long ranged bullets for breakfast.

 

Alteration Bundles:

so apparently alterations provide great amount of revenue. So that's why this is in here. With 3 or 4 alterations with one purchase.

 

Now no one bundle can just have mostly OP alts or UP ones. So it has to contain a balance of OP and UP alts.

[KillerDiesel 188]

So @Maf, what do you think? Would this financially help the devs?

[sensei_tanker 3,098]

Might as well throw these in there as well:

^^^ of course without the 50% off part

I just think that devs don't need players to tell them that they could add more bundles. Things like bundles, kits, shop priced and special offers depend on a bunch of factors that they analyse internally.

Well yeah, I want them to do well financially, but I also don't want them resorting to removing features that everyone likes and hiding them in containers like the ability to buy alterations for crystals in the garage.

[BouDy 110]

Well, about the alteration bundles, I see that adding the stuff that affects gameplay in the shop for real money isn't good at All, because it will make the game pay2win ( it was but now I think the situation became a lot better even after introducing the MK Update " only mk7 at low ranks problem left " ) 

So I think tanki should make more bundles containing paints and skins and shot effects and prevent adding items like a big pack of supplies , or alterations or MUs into the shop.

But there wouldn’t be any loss or something for them right? Like I got destroyer kit three times in a row for tankoins and the justice kit twice.  

What about removing those 100 free crystals pack then? They’re useless and I get more of them than I get crystal kits.

Wouldn't matter if the rotation of shop kits was based on you earning experience in battles to force the rotation.

Example...Each time you earn 2k (or whatever) battle or exp points the rotating product kits' rotate to a new bunch of kits. Could be like a mission counter above the rotating shop kits that says something like “earn 2000 points in battles to change these kits”...once you've earned the 2k you then get the option of clicking a “change” button on screen to change the kits. Wouldn't automatically change as some might want to keep those kits available as they were close to saving up enough crystals or Tankoins for them. Could also make it so you can simply buy the rotation for a small Tankoin fee, so you can take a chance that you'll get a discounted Tankoin kit you wanted rather than paying for the more expensive permanent kits that might be above your spending limit.

Effectively it's like a mission that encourages you to battle to speed up the process of kit buying, based on how much effort you put into it...so people will play more in order to get their kit faster. One issue would be if you end up ranking up in the process and the kit you wanted wasn't available at your new rank. Better off aiming for a superior kit in that case anyway and you could plan for it.

Anyway, there's one idea of probably a few that actually encourages us to play the game to get the rewards...the way it should be.

The number of product kits available are very very low, too low.

Edited May 12, 2020 by Viking4s

[CaptainKiller 67]

The kits should be available for crystals to non-buyers for atleast once or twice every week.....

 

Everyone can't be a buyer.

Any changes that would reduce their cash flow in the game is something 'they' or 'he' would avoid to do. 

[LOLKILLERTOTHEDEATH 1,921]

This might be a strange suggestion but I really, really like a shopping cart feature (Don't know why) and so I feel it would be great for Tanki to buy multiple things at once. I know you can just click the Buy button and get them, but firstly shopping carts make everything much more fun to do and secondly, players can get sort of a rundown of what they're buying to inspect and check that they're getting what they want (to prevent wrong clicking).

[Thiedes 1,106]

The idea has already been suggested, nonetheless it'd be quite the handy feature when you're preparing loads in one go and saves time on top of that.
