UPDATED - Halloween returns for 24 hours on Saturday 5th

[Tricked 0]

Wow nice one

[bozo88 450]

If they are not good and repeatedly come in last place then yes, it's a struggle.  For me I finished it under 2 hours.

I feel really bad for you, but it was kinda your fault...

Yes, I played for 3 hours today and got 1.5K exp. That was in 4 different modes in 18 different battles on 5 different maps. I love Rio and Atra and Massacre, but I would not like to be confined to them for 3000 time sensitive EXP. DO you want to be force fed chocolate cake for 3 weeks? no! Same thing. Spending 6 hours of my life on 1 map in 1 day is just to hard for tankers like me who only own a handful of M1s. 

 

Kinda my fault? Apparently not thoroughly studying the wiki for several semesters before picking up my laptop to play TO is also my fault. I've wasted probably close to 50K in foolish living, and I take responsibility for 32K of those wasted crystals. I don't take responsibility for not understanding that, just because you click the upgrade button, doesn't mean you upgraded you thingy.

 

Edit: the point of mentioning that I have only a few M1s is that while my rank may look high, my turrets force my hand and my playing style.

Thank you very much for the Halloween map and its Halloween crystals mission. I wish that the Halloween map and its crystals missions would be here every day of the year.

[RIDDLER_8 5,553]

Can every battle on the Halloween map have x10 the GOLD BOX rates and more GOLD BOXes dropping on that day?

 

Please can every GOLD BOX be worth 10,000 crystals only on Saturday 5th?

Heyyy!! It's RIDDLER_8 the forum troll!  

 

Here every day of the year?  RIP every other map.

 

But yeah, I like to see people who are actually grateful and honestly, who wouldn't want those crystal missions every day?  Because then they wouldn't go away and you would have as much time as you wanted to complete them.

GOLD BOX creation

 

I was thinking about a very cool update feature that players could have fun with.

 

That is the ability for players to create their own gold boxes using their saved crystals from their crystals wallet. Players can create gold boxes without having the usual 1000 crystals gold box size limit. With the gold box creation utility, players can create gold boxes that have a minimum size limit of 1000 crystals to any amount of crystals they desire.

 

For example, players can create gold boxes that are worth 10,000 crystals.

 

It would be such fun for players to be able to create their custom sized gold boxes for them to drop for other players.

[RIDDLER_8 5,553]

How about having the Halloween map just for a different battlefield environment? What do you think?

[Magenta 5,165]

 

well, the devs are humans. its human for them to make a minor mistake in coding. have u tried coding? as far as i know its very difficult....and they even CONFESSED that it was all their fault, so they compensated. so is it really worth complaining? they did a mistake by mistake ( :P) and they said sorry and gave us compensation. what more?

The transfer of crystals wont be allowed as far as i think. If this happens than people might drop gold boxes to there other accounts. Thats the reason Tanki is not allowing transfer of crystals. But there can be one thing done. Suppose if it is 1000 crystal gold box then it should worth 1500 crystals. And 5000 gold box then it should worth 7500 crystals and so on. But still i am not sure if they will consider it

This "kinda your fault" stuff is exactly what I mean when I say both players and devs have forgotten what it is like to be a new player in TO.  Veteran players know the system so well they assume it is intuitive to new players. It is not. It is more Byzantine that it is intuitive.

 

The wiki is full of incomplete guidance. I too clicked the "speedup" thing a few times before I realized what I was wasting Cr.  Wiki doesn't really touch on that.  I didn't waste as many Cr as this poster did but I had the same lack of guidance and made the same mistake.

 

Where I did waste money on MUs was I took my Smoky m0 to m1 through all 50 MU steps. Wiki says if you do that you get the next m# level for "free". I took this to mean you could do all 50 MU steps for the same cost of buying the next level outright. It was only when I was well into the process that I realized the MU approach cost a LOT more. By then I was so close I just kept going to 50.

 

Anyway, the point being is the player base here is so lopsided towards long-time vets that the devs cater to that segment. The difficulties of new players seem to be simply not understood.

hahah , admins don't need transfer cry from one acc to another

[Kurt_KurtDGreat 2,259]

Well, I just tediously upgraded to a M1 Isida! I have a M0+23 shaft that I am waiting for a sale.

Edit: &*^%#$^*&* my life! I just read the MU page in the wiki, and realized why the MU for M0 Isida cost so much!: I pressed the speed up button, assuming that was part of the upgrade! It's not! Don't make the mistake I made people, I wasted 18K crystals on something I didn't need to. There's a lot of the UI in Tanki that could be more intuitive.

Lol... I feel bad you think MUing isida M0 is good... MUing it all the way will cost you 2x the cost of M1... and that's excluding the speed ups m8 .-.

[bozo88 450]

Dang. For some reason I was sure that MU would save you about 5% on full cost. But I can't find where I read that.

[r_I_already_won0 2,339]

LittleWillie I'm sure you have a valid point, but none of my friends who just started Tanki have had this problem.  It says very clearly "upgrade" and the "speed up" is a different color.  There's really nothing that can be done.

It's the player's responsibility to learn about the in-game environment, economy, and game mechanics as much as they can..That's what I've done for every game i've played, and it's payed off. I've been able to compete with high-level players (in any game, not just TO) when I barely started because I made it my role to learn everything about how the game works.  And I always found myself way ahead of the similiar ranked competition in terms of knowledge. 

 

Do you want a tutorial that shows more than just how to drive and shoot? That's certainly not a bad idea, you could post it if you want. ;)

[Godmode_ON5s 15]

Why didn't you claim the missions if you had finished them? The missions weren't removed prematurely, they were actually removed later than promised. I'm sorry but your issue has nothing to do with the incident.

yeah i should have Thunder M666 and Viking M666 so i can kill everyone and compleate mission > ;)

This map is cool (even tho is 90% similar to 2015). I see some players complaining about the map being to dark. But it's Halloween, it must be dark.

 

The only bad thing in this map is that there are too much spots for campers. This map is full of Vulcans and Shafts. So it's a pain for CTF. But for CP, it's not that bad. Dumb ennemies can camp all they want. As long as I cap and we win, campers can't win in CP ^^

 

[fordmustang12345 3,910]

Ok yeah its cool and all but i had already got 1/3 through my Halloween mission when it disappeared and im gonna have to start over fresh at the 3k and i only have 24 hours to do it.....

The speedup thing is a small matter. I commented on it only because once again stories from new players are dismissed as "their fault". I agree you make mistakes as you learn games and the point is to avoid repeating them. But OTOH different companies do better or worse at helping new players. Tanki does not score well in that category. 

 

 

Accept insights on the new player experience or not .. it really does not matter. What matters is that Tanki seems disinterested in listening. I even understand that to a certain degree. Tanki's player base consists of long-time players who have long-since exhausted what this game has to offer. So Tanki is creating new content, alterations and the like.

 

With little new blood coming in, Tanki has chosen to cater to it's existing player base instead of expanding. I get that from a business point of view but it does not help me as a player.

Tanki is trying to fleece its existing player base.

.. tanki is growing.. it added on tanki x which has more room to grow.. for tanki it's self... put it this way in order to compete and keep the players interesting in the game they need to change and add things to the mix.. also they need to keep us interested in order to make some kind of profit to off cost the money to pay for tanki x until it gets off the ground fully.. for now its not happening and there for needs to improve this games balance .. sure i have said it many a times i'm not impressed with some of the new updates and will not be sold fully on this.. in order to sub-stain this company growth they need to find some way to bring in the $$ flow... so one is to sell paints and kits with ca$h to make profits and bonuses ..

I agree with Tanki's effort to add new content. I support that 100%.

 

What I am saying is, pretty much everything Tanki does is aimed at the players who are already Gizmos (soon: Legends).That is where their customer base lies. But the newer player does not benefit much from these latest moves.

 

>>> Legend rank? I expect to never see Marshal, much less Gizmo, much less Legend.

 

>>> The alteration system? New players can't afford them. They need to hoard every Cr for the next upgrade hurdle.

 

>>> Or consider the way they moved all m3 gear to the Marshal rank. So the issue that move addressed for m3 gear still exists for players who use m0, m1, or m2 gear. (Clearly the only concern for this move too was fix the issue for the endgame players. Since all they did was shift the exploit to the lower ranks I'll abuse it instead.)

 

I agree Tanki needs new players to remain a healthy gaming company. My bottom line point has always been that Tanki is shooting themselves in the foot in this regard. They seem to have lost touch with the new player.
