Holiday break from Daily Mission Chains

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

Nives,

 

Could we get two definitive answers?  

 

1.  Are the missions going to revert to normal difficulty tomorrow, Tuesday after restart?

 

2.  Will missions listed today be gone tomorrow?  In other words, if we have a completed, unclaimed mission today, will it be gone tomorrow?

 

 

It is now about 8 hours to the restart for Tuesday, Jan 9.  It would be very helpful to know if unclaimed completed missions will just disappear or will the harsh and difficult missions continue and currently completed mission stay unclaimed but intact.

 

I hate to throw away the fat reward for a mission that was very difficult to complete, but on the other hand, I don't want ot be forced into completing three difficult missions again tomorrow like I had to do yesterday and today because I cleared the holiday missions before each restart thinking they were changing over.

I suggest everyone to claim at least another mission today even if they are still 3x and take screenshots.

 

Nives,

I'd claim them all unless those are Premium, then I wouldn't know what would i do.

Hard missions are easy, it takes 1 hour for me to finish all 3, xcept kills mission -- please keep them at least for Legend rank, I like bigger rewards  ;)  B)

No thanks.

[Hatty1994 819]

No thanks.

Actually bigger rewards helps you stash drugs for 2K kills event as well as large amount of crystals during sales, it is highly beneficiary for free-to-play players.  :rolleyes:

The chain should be working as usual, meaning you need to claim 1 mission before restart on January 9th to keep the chain.

 

At the moment I have no clarification why the holiday missions are still in the game, and further info will be shared tomorrow.

Nives, Thank you for the answer to question #1.    

 

Do you ever sleep :)    (tough job, buddy)

 

Question #2:

Will missions listed today be gone tomorrow?  In other words, if we have a completed, unclaimed mission today, will it be gone tomorrow if it is not claimed or will it remain as an unclaimed completed mission to be redeemed at a later point in time?

Holiday missions were supposed to be removed completely, even unclaimed. 

 

I expect tomorrow they will be gone, so I will claim all of mine just to be safe.

Tanks for the quick answer!  (yeah, I used the cheesy pun)  

 

It is nice to see that in a way you are just one of us...kinda in the dark like we are.  Claiming the completed missions is probably the best advice since on the second try, Tanki may actually get it right and the missions may revert to normal.  If the harsh, troublesome, un-fun, tedious, miserly, and difficult holiday missions are still in place tomorrow and I clear all again...the 3rd time...well, I don't know what I will do...be angry I guess...and complete more hard missions grumbling the entire time.  

 

Could we just not have any holiday missions anymore...at all?  At least leave missions alone or figure out a way to make the difficult missions optional somehow?.

I play mostly casually, and the "normal" daily missions provide incentive for me to play some each day as they are not to hard to complete.

 

These "holiday" missions are more of a grind - if it takes 3 battles or more to complete then not really interested.

 

If there was 1 "mini-super-mission" per day I wouldn't mind so much.  But three?  as above - no thanks.

[fei502 9]

Let me take a wild guess:

 

The 3X hardness mission will stay, because the mission chain reward is 3X.

 

As you know, if the reward reduced back to normal, players will not play daily. But tanki doesn't want to keep 3X reward, because that will destroy tanki economy. So tanki keep the mission difficulty to 3X.

[Gubitnik 401]

now,, if u plan to remove holiday missions its unfair because what if we had premium misssion before event and this mess tripled it. and at end it will go??? 

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

Restart on the 9th a few minutes ago.

 

Same tedious difficult holiday missions, and no completed or partially completed missions have been removed.

 

So I claimed them all AGAIN for no reason and I need to spend an inordinate amount of time to complete these difficult missions; many having tiny tiny rewards.

 

WTH!  Why can't Tanki pay any attention to their own bloody game?

please refrain from using profane abbreviations

[caiosilvac 567]

Missions remain unchanged as of now, this seems like a good time to take a break from Tanki.

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

It's not that the missions are too difficult.  It's that I claimed all three for three days in a row now.  I want to do ONE mission everyday and keep two completed in case I can't spend the time to play.  But, because of the "holiday" missions should apparently disappear, I claim them all...each day that they were supposedly reverting.

 

Please, Nives, could you find out what is going on?  

 

1. Are these awful missions here to stay?...fine, let us know that.

2. Are missions going to revert to normal missions?  ...fine, get us a definitive answer as to when they will revert.

3. If they revert to normal missions, will unclaimed completed missions still be viable (claimable) or will they disappear?

 

Someone must know these answers.  Could you please find out for us?

missions for Tuesday are still not changed

 

Its hard to get 30 drugs , you have to do more then 4 battles to collect them

 

 

 

 

 

[r_Nives5 15,148]

Using the scientific method of do-it-yourself, I can now confirm that:

 

 

 

 

 

 

- All completed missions have remained finished and can be claimed on January 9th.

- Missions still have the holiday difficulty, but the rewards seem to already be normal.

 

I will update you on the current situation on mission difficulty as soon as I have the info.

you said they would have been removed and some of mine were from today and I never touched them . such as the CP missions for 15 points.

If the 3x increase in difficulty is a permanent change, and not some kind of server glitch, then I guess I consider my mission chain over. :( I don't have time out of my day to collect 30 speed boosts and destroy 300 enemies in drugged battles every single day, whether or not the reward is increased. If the difficulty will stay permanently, then we must be allowed to complete them in PRO!

 

The fact that Tanki have been silent on this issue is very, very telling. Having played since 2012, "secret updates" are nothing new to me. I just wish they would be more open with the players who give them their time and money.

90 kills and only 2520 crystals reward === Are U seriously kidding ??  :angry:

[LittleWillie 3,199]

Well I see long missions are not my imagination. Once again another 'unforced error' by TO.

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

If this stays, it will impact the game dramatically.  It is IMPOSSIBLE to pick up 30 Double Damage casually while in a battle...especially when each battle is choked with the maximum number of players, all competing for boxes.  30 DD is a real mission and all you can do is concentrate on going to their drop site and collecting...and there may be other players with the same mission AND, all the normal crowd of players that are just playing the game.  

 

Two or three DD in an entire battle is about right, so if you need 5 DD to complete a mission, you keep an eyeball peeled for them as you play...maybe you need to play two full 15 minute battles.  

 

With 30 DD all you can do in these crowded maps with drug crazed players is compete for DD.  Collecting four or five DD takes a fifteen minute battle...if you are lucky...one to three if you are just playing.  So if you just play for fun, you need to spend like three hours...to complete ONE MISSION!!!!  ...like ten to twelve battles!

 

If you don't bother battling and concentrate solely on DD, you can pick up 8 to 10 boxes in one fifteen minute game...if you are lucky and on the right map.  To do this you must ignore whatever the battle is and camp at drop sites and/or run around like a mad thing from site to site.  Teammates fight over these boxes like they are gold boxes and ruin the entire idea of a shooting battle.  I picked up 30 DD today and it took me two hours... TWO HOURS!  ...and I didn't even battle.  All I did was hunt boxes.  I made crap scores/crystals and didn't help my team one bit...in fact, I was really a new type of mult...the box collector.

 

And the worst part is, COLLECTING BOXES IS THE EASIEST TYPE OF MISSION !!!  The others are even harder!

In case that the current difficulty of missions stays in the game it mean that the players must play daily at least 3 or 4 non-pro battles.

Many players are playing the non-pro battles only because of reward from mission chain but the realy fun is playing pro-battle in favourite maps and favourite mod. Nobody like the forcing the play DM, TDM on large maps in case that they like CP or CTF on small maps.

 

What I would say.. Spend daily time in 3 or 4 non-pro battle because of mission = no funny = no game.. :-(

This is exactly the reason why crystal boxes were removed from the game. Now Tanki is actively encouraging this behavior.

 

Semyon didn't die for this, man.

And the sad thing is, I would actually have a good time playing non-pro battles, if they offered a wider selection of maps. They keep removing maps from the list and editing the remaining maps so they're all the same. The current battle list is utterly bland, and the gameplay is stale, and is only suited for mid-range and long-range combos. Does Tanki believe this is how players have fun?

 

It's like if all you had to eat every day was pizza, but not the good kind, the cardboard kind, and they keep removing toppings every so often... you'll get very tired of it after a few weeks and months. But you are pretty much forced to because of the mission chains. So increasing the difficulty is like spitting a big wad on top of that stale cardboard pizza.

 

But I know this will fall on deaf ears. It's for the good of the economy, comrade!!!

Not only Semyon, lot of players died including me at that time, few returned like me & others left this game. This Overdrive and mission in non-pro is killing more players & ultimately ending the game.
