what happens to the halloween mission if we don't finish it today? will it be converted to another type of mission.....?(idk)

I believe the map will still be here tomorrow. But to the spirit of your question, I would change it out if you don't think you'll finish it out before the 11/1 server restart

 

CORRECTION- No the map will not be here tomorrow. It's a 48 hour map and will go away with the next server restart. In about 5 hours.

I think that you get a new set of Daily missions. Even if your Halloween mission is in progress.

 

Halloween map is available till 02:00 UTC on Monday 31st October. You can't finish Halloween mission if there's no more Halloween map.

have you got on top of the houses Yet... I have its cool when I first did it no one else knew about it then the next few games its so funny players like fire and wasp trying to do it or Dictator with rail , that was humorous the most..only one house i still have not done hope to do it today

No but thanks for the suggestion. I've seen some light hull smokys and thunders do that. I did a few bad jumps and accidentally flipped due to a glancing blow. I think I'll take your advice and have some fun with this when I am back on later tonight. :D

For 48 hours, from 02:00 UTC on Saturday 29th October, till 02:00 UTC on Monday 31st October, we’ll have a special Halloween themed map. This map will be linked to a number of special, extra-challenging daily missions that will reward you with bigger and better prizes.

bydolord, we know that.

Well, to be fair, I was originally off by a day. It's kinda strange for us in North America - Halloween map will be gone before Halloween day even gets here.

You know.. Mc Donnalds, Burger King, Car Companies like Ford, Volkswagen and General Motors.. they all give the "special offers" when THEY want to. And if I visit a McDonnalds and tell them, I like to have the special burger they'd offered two weeks ago, for the same price that it cost back then, they will tell me they are sorry.

 

They all must be infiltrated by Russian doctrines!!! :ph34r:

 

(And dont tell me about MyBurger was introduced because they are customer friendly. This was just introduced to keep an "strategic advantage" vs Burgerkind and subways, that offered "alternations" for years)

 

 

Do you still believe NBC, commercials, and what is written in your school's books about other nations?

Open your eyes, open your mind

Proud like a god, don't pretend to be blind

Trapped in yourself, break out instead

Beat the machine that works in your head

(source)

 

 

 

We all know Alternative is not at it's best when it comes to marketing.. but actually they improoved a lot in the last 6 months (not perfect yet, but much better now).

 

Maybe you like to consider a major difference between this game and the real life:

• in real life, in 95% of all cases, you pay with money and money only
• here you have the option to pay with your time and patience (which gives them no money), while they need money to run their infrastructure and purchase food

Their philosophy of rotating through the kits serves the purpose to make a free player wait, while a buyer has not much issues to get them. Doing so they lure players that are just 20.000 crystals short when their kit comes around into spending 1..2 EUR/USD to have it _now_. This runs the whole year.. while they have only around 20 (?) days of sale spread out during the year.

This gaining an advantage _earlier_ is what they base on.. while if gives no permanent advantage (which would harm balance even more towards buyers).

Also the sale serve the same purpose.. wait for a sale or buy earlier. Or to lure you into the thought that it makes sense to spend 5 USD during a sale because the equipment is so cheap then.

 

 

 

"Special Offers" are different than "We sell the Big Mac only on Tuedays and Thursdays.

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

you can purchase the turrets, hulls and modules all year, 24x7.

Just those special offers (kits = discount) are offered as they like.

racist

Russian is not a race, it is a nationality. And different nations have different "histories". But since I assume you are American I don't blame you for not knowing that. Non-American students are still taught that subject.

[bozo88 450]

Well, to be fair, I was originally off by a day. It's kinda strange for us in North America - Halloween map will be gone before Halloween day even gets here.

I know. Where I live the server update is around 8 PM. In 25 minutes. What is so hard about them just making everything happen on Thursday through Monday night??? All the sales, the decorations, the map, etc, should of been ran concurrently for 5 days. How hard does it get? I'm not even an event planner by trade!

If anything, it would be Xenophobia, not racism. Not saying the quote in the spoiler is or isn't xenophobic, but it certainly isn't racism.

-----------------------------------------

Anyway, enjoying this Halloween event.

It's not xenophobia either. Xenophobia is the fear of outsiders/foreigners. I neither fear nor dislike Russians. The few I've met over the years seemed just like everyone else.

 

Words that could apply to my post might include: rude, brusque, acerbic, impolite, provocative. But the post was neither racist nor xenophobic.

 

Look. Something has to explain the reasoning behind these inept policies. It does not seem outrageous to suggest national psychologies are shaped by national histories.

 

Y'all have just been playing this game for so long you see these policies like "rotation" as normal. Of COURSE kits rotate that's just how it works. But as a new player I see this stuff with fresh eyes and I am telling you this stuff boggles the mind.

 

Let me ask you this: See any other new players posting here? Anyone other new blood who is willing to spend some time in the forum? All I see are old-timers beside me.

 

Of course there aren't many new players. Tanki has erected very high barriers the frustrate new players right out of the game.

You cannot purchase kits any time you want. As i have mentioned, I cannot buy a m2 smoky or an m2 viking at captain rank ... unlees I buy the northener kit.

 

You're smarter than this.

It's over soon :) . Maybe one of the lamest event of all time. Not Tanki's fault tho.

 

But dumb laggers. Always a pile of laggers under the Gold. And no chances for other players lol. And not all of them are "standard" laggers. They do something to get a 300 ping. It's easy and there ar emany ways of doing it. It ruins the fun. Seems like nobody is using the game client.

 

Oh and of course, freaking mults :)

lol The Halloween map will be vanished soon. And I got a new Special mission xD .

[Bydo 20,161]

well you still have Oct 31 to do it on until server update .. do more cp battles you will get it faster

[GeeVuh 1,647]

I was told by a Dev this is the map they use for Halloween ...

 

well good luck .. i myself finished all three missions on two of my account and i also removed one of them again today and received my second on that account so if i remove another daily mission on another account out of the three accounts i would have 5 in told completed and xx amount of gold and battle game crystals ...i personal do not like how the missions are this year i find them lame and not worthy to do ..compared to last years we received way more in crystals and in bonuses ...

That was a couple of years ago, 2013 and 2014, I think..

[delnina2 1,570]
