Let's Discuss Containers!

[iFros 1,891]

You must have been lucky with your containers because the total number of crystals you earned on your account was 263,386 crystals while the amount you have currently is 500k+. 

 

 

as far as I remember I got a 100 000 crystal pack from container, add to it some other considerable amount of crystals that I also got from containers, the X20 gold dropping in christmas celebrations, this celebration's double fund and X5 gold box dropping, add to it the 108 golds that I have got which means 108 000 crystals. To sum up: 263 386(crystals earned in battles) + 108 000 (from caught gold boxes) +100 000 (crystals pack from container) +double funds+ advantages of premium+ small considerable amounts of crystals from containers+ crystals from challenges= 500k + without buying. It took me 2 months. Don't forget that I also spent more than 100 000  crystals on drugs and other things.

whenever i am low on drugs (or i just wanna burn some crystals) i buy the supplies 100 kit... it is great and also gives you back the crystals you earned (if u play efficiently ofc)

[ZloyDanuJI 409]

What?

what did those gold diggers say to convince you to drop that gold? i wanna know...

Is it me or the rewards coming from containers are really low?

You mean regular (random) containers?

 

With all the paints and shot effects in there I am seeing less crystals awarded.

 

Keep getting containers with rewards I will never use = waste of container.

Shot effects for turrets I do not own or do not plan on buying.  Paints - how many can I use?

Crystals would be waaaaaay better as I can then buy what I want / need.

[ghost-guns 1,486]

Container rewards are shocking. 125 speed boost or 125 mines for completing 20 missions.

i have to agree with that us non-buyers are underdogs but it doesn't change the fact the containers contain nothing but worthless stuff now it would be a good idea for a daily spin on this game like crystals premium accounts and XT items as the jackpot.

I know, I got 125 SBs today from a weekly container.

 

Don't think Tanki have thought this through.... if the container rewards are so crap, why the hell would anyone want to buy any from the shop?

Bet they haven't sold many lately.

[ghost-guns 1,486]

Today I got 125 speed boost and 100 of all supplies.

[SporkZilla 1,775]

I got a 10000 crystals one today, and I got one on the 4th of this month too.

 

I don't think the probabilities for containers have changed (or do change), there's a lot of confirmation bias with containers like people thinking that how you open them makes a difference, but I have only have 19 containers in my latest notes, from the 4th of this month to today.

 

That's three weeks, so an average of 1.6 containers per week per account (4 accounts) instead of what used to be 3-4 containers per week per account for a casual player like me, usually doing 10 missions a week, 20 missions every two weeks, sometimes finishing the other weekly mission.

 

When it was possible to get 4 containers per week per account for doing very little (old work up to week 10 system), sometimes I got 16 containers of rubbish. But it didn't matter because you only had to wait a week to try again. But that system was too generous.

 

So they made you work a lot harder for 3, possibly 4, containers a week, and 6 if you didn't want to have a life. Didn't like that change, but I can see why they did it and doing 1 or 2 (harder) missions per day for a minimum of 7 containers every two weeks instead of 8 wasn't that bad.

 

But then they reduced the numbers of normal containers every week, but not the amount of work. And then they took away container rewards for tiers 1 and 5 on the challenges...

 

There's a little bit of compensation with good mission days. I'll earn 3000 crystals if I do all three daily missions on one account today. And the challenges and more weekly containers, but I loved opening lots of containers instead of the trickle you get now.

 

I don't mind getting rubbish containers (got 125 mines yesterday) if the probabilities are constant (not convinced that they have changed / do change), but the amount of play required per container at the moment is too high.

I used to get 25,000 crystal containers quite a lot but I haven't had one in months (maybe none this year actually). I always get supplies these days or 3500 crystals if I'm lucky.

[SporkZilla 1,775]

I haven't had a 25,000 crystal container for a long time, but there were 2 rare containers in the 19, garage paint and 150 batteries.

 

I don't think we'll ever know the probabilities because that sort of information is probably commercially sensitive.

[Nicola_M 1,563]

In my experience the frequency of getting basic (common items) like SB, DA, DD and mines hasn't changed.

But what has changed is the frequency of getting more desirable items like paints, GB etc.... which have gone down.

 

I just went through all of the containers I've had since December and I'm getting longer streaks of the common items with fewer and fewer of anything else now.

It's so bad that I don't even bother adding anything new to the "Container Project to Learn Reward Probabilities" thread because there's no point.

 

I only do the missions now not for the worthless containers but for the crystals.

[Truthteller 4,204]

The amount of mines im getting from containers are hilarious 

[ReadyPlayer1 7]

3 worst updates:

 

3: The monthly challenge. The rewards are good, but the huge let-down is that it takes 1750 stars (which u don't get in large amounts) to reach this month's skins. Also, why 2 thunder skins as the Tier 50 prize?

 

Honestly, they're using this challenge to make money!  :ph34r:

 

2. The (very disappointing) change of rarity of good stuff in containers. I mean, i have opened 10+ containers on this account and alt accounts and only 1 of them is a (lucky) 10,000 crystal pack. Acc name: pokemon99

 

1. The separation of paints from modules. This is obvious, because now paints are worth NOTHING, product kits are much mire than they used to, etc. If it wasn't for that update, I would have the Blizzard Kit right now!

 

Thanks a lot, devs!  :angry:  :angry:  :angry:  :angry:  :angry:

I remember buying the Krakatoa Kit on this account and it cost I think 3k or 3.4k. It's almost thrice that now. I remember the Buffalo Kit being cheap as well and it's almost 17k. The combo itself isn't going to be useful.

ikr and the vampire kit was 17k, now it's twice as much. and the rewards from containers are absolutely absurd. why waste ur crystals? only to get common drug containers? :|

[The_Pakistani 16,768]

I see now announcement about this; we will only get 125 piece of supplies from containers?

Been more than 3 months only getting 125 DA,DD,SB, mines. You call this a container?

Make it official.

I noticed the same thing on my accounts as well.

 

Back in like last summer or so, I used to just be flooded with more crystals than I could ever figure out what to do with.

 

I just wish the devs would at least tell us about every single change they've made.

From last Saturday....

 

3 days of premium 

 

and the usual 125 Speed Boost (I spam it but still have more!)

 

Again, Container is like a lottery. But you are right, Alternativa did this because of getting containers from Challenge too. (Trying to balance it out.)

[Nicola_M 1,563]

Challenge containers since Thursday (when I started doing the Challenge) * it's been okay.

 

One of the 3 containers gave me 10GB and 5GB and DA and 100 All Supplies,

But yes, mostly it's DA, SB and mines with the occasional 3,500 crystals.  Not many RKs.

 

* Yeah I know, I left it late but I started Thursday with 360 and am now at 1200 and averaging 230 stars a day.

Should do it, got a week left to do 550.

I'm like DANG Angry right now. I had taken a break from tanki (abt 4 years) and I started playing a month ago. And THE problem is.. CONTAINERS! O my gawd each time I open a container Im so freakin Dissatisfied.. The last 12 containers I opened were nothing but mines. And the other ones, I got speed boosts, And double damage. It was always common. Is the luck ratio increased for buyers? We poor players suffer too much  :mellow:  I just opened a container, And I got mines. Just mines. It's always mines. And Yesterday I created a new account and When I got a container from challenges and I opened it, I got a cool paint. Now this is another level. I mean I opened like tons of containers and the only thing I get is supplies? I mean come on! Maybe Luck ratio too high for buyers. I'm sorry for not being polite, but I have to express this in away u could understand the anger when all you get is supplies from containers  :unsure:

Moreover Containers are hard to get.

Did you read about containers in the wiki? For a while it seemed all I was getting was batteries and I don't have a drone. 

[wolverine848 13,097]

 

 

The biggest problem I'm facing right now, is not overdrives, not with the tanks, but experience. The experience claimed by a player when he destroys someone should be based on how much damage he dealt to the enemy. I roam around shooting tanks and guess what I only get 5 exp when I assist another player in their kill even if I have taken like 90% of their health. Like.. This ain't fair. And the other play gets 15 exp no matter how much damage they dealt. Like this is just really annoying. For example, We tried so hard to kill a dang player who is so annoying, and at his low-level health situation your teammate comes in and takes your kill. And you get just 5 exp for it. Won't you get annoyed? Everyone should get rewards based on how much hard they work.. Please make this a fair game.

 

And another problem I want to discuss is that when there are double funds or x10 gold boxes, Why do you guys removing it for pro battles? Like that's really annoying. I'm talking about XP/BP. Why not enable double funds, etc. on some of the 'Type' of pro battles. Eg. XP/BP. Everyone knows that XP/BP is really fair to play and fun. And I play XP/BP most of the time. I say it's more fun than matchmaking. 

 

And I almost forgot, The length of the battles of matchmaking are too short. Why not add extra three minutes to the game? Like when I start to play Matchmaking battles, It's like Start, and stop at the next minute. God I miss the old normal battles. Anyways, I say that 10 minutes are much batter, or 15, ofcourse. Thank you  :D

 

 

My container rewards for past 2-3 weeks have been pretty terrible. 

if not supplies then it's a paint I don't need.  1-in-15 gives me 3500 crystals. Have not seen > 10k crystals in over 4 months.

 

Overall I think they have reduced the rewards. 

 

Only my secondary account does MM now. This one has switched to Pro-battles.
