Episode 168 of the V-LOG is live!

Or worse, after the fourth week you start again down to zero...

 

Is battle changes the new crystals and xp calculation system proposed with MM implementation?

Mission chains are already a bit of a chore.

 

This would be a perfect reason to ditch "normal battles" and just play Custom battles.

[Bydo 20,123]

I suspect that the change might affect the way mission chains are reset. No idea whether or not it will be in our favour. Maybe they will make it so that you only lose a few days of the chain instead of the whole week, or maybe they will make it impossible to collect mission rewards to keep up chains without playing. Or maybe both or something completely different... who knows...

 

The battle changes are intriguing also.

so in other words this looks like it will be happening . .. will need to see if this is coming tomorrow..

Nah, that's next to impossible. It would ruin missions.

[r_Issimo2 1,495]

I would like if chains reset back to 1st week after completing a 4th week chain, that would allow me to take breaks after a 4 week round or use another account for a 4 week round, I wouldn't feel chained to mission chains.

If your guess come true, then one more player @Hatty1994 will leave this game. I would be relieved from this curse.  ^_^

If this happens, I will probably either quit playing non-pro games, quit playing tanki, or throw my heart and soul into playing Tanki, not caring about ruining my account.

No change should be made for casual players.

[r_Issimo2 1,495]

If you see the video, the tank passes the number 4 and then you see X.

 

Maybe there will be a 5th week chain, but the X could mean that it will be the final week chain before a reset.

 

If they give us 1 container for 1st week, 2 for 2nd... up to 5 for 5th week, I think it would be great.

I hope what you theorize about the X does not come true... It does not seem like a good idea at all. 

[austen_pierce 1,948]

My guess is they will tweak the chain reward and container reward mix, probably in favor of further reducing the fixed rewards and adding more containers.

[Hancho 3,902]

It would be nice if they increased to at least 8 weeks. It would be more motivating to do missions to be honest, right now, stuck with 4 weeks, getting same rewards, it's really boring. Or at least they could mix up rewards and give us something unexpected. 

[BEIBEIHE 59]

We are not able to guess how exactly the mission chain will be changed because these people don't think normally but I'm sure it will do more harm than good to us. Something like we have to do more jobs or we get less/worse rewards or we have to keep the missions completed without any break: something like one mission goes down the chain all goes down, even the rewards look better. Simply speaking: the mission chain will be harder and it is easy to lose more.

[Tani_S 736]

I must've missed it. When did they talk about the missions in the Vlog?

[Hancho 3,902]

I don't think missions were mentioned, only weekly chain. 

[austen_pierce 1,948]

Extending beyond 4 weeks is interesting to think about. I’m not sure if that would result in more people doing missions or more people giving up on them. Probably the former.

 

But how far to go? 5 weeks would be low-hanging fruit. 6-8 or even 10 might work. More than that is just ridiculous. Ok 10 is ridiculous. You’re talking about playing the game every day for more than two months. That sort of forced addiction usually ends with players feeling like the game is a chore and seeking fun elsewhere.

 

But if they extend to 5 weeks or beyond, would they reduce the rewards for weeks 1-4 in the name of balancing the economy? This feels likely.

[r_Issimo2 1,495]

Extending beyond 4 weeks is interesting to think about. I’m not sure if that would result in more people doing missions or more people giving up on them. Probably the former.

That could be what they may introduce, the X could mean a new number of weeks.

 

But I think that would be a huge mistake, players who see the value of mission chains today, which is big, already do mission chains, no need for more incentives; players who don't see the value of missions or can't do them won't see this as an incentive to do missions.

 

Buyers would have to spend more to stay competitive. If I were a buyer I'd be pissed. Casual and new players would be crushed even more by all the 2 3 4 1 druggers, expect the game losing more and more players.

 

The game is like forcing us to do never ending mission chains or spend a lot of money, because if you spend a little, you'll still need to do chains. And i don't like to be forced, that's why I stopped doing missions with a very good account and I don't want to start doing them again, instead i may stop another account from doing missions. proof...

Interesting perspective. It is a psychological thing above all though, no one is obligating you to complete missions chains constantly. Daily missions alone suffice, in my opinion. I haven't done a full 4 week mission chain for over a year, but I have not had any problems with crystals. Sure, I could have more if I did, but I value game enjoyment over time spent grinding. Getting over that hump and convincing yourself that playing normally is good enough could help.

[LittleWillie 3,199]

hope they get rid of most of these so called missions , so many should not be in .

like catching a flag which can be done not only in flag battles but also in Assault mode .

or the top three places on a winning team which can be done in DM battles also . or catch 10 drug box's of a certain ones.

why not just copy Tanki X and have it 20 drug box's of any kind.. this way its more a challenge then just one kind its way too easy

 

Last time I tried it capturing a flag in ASL mode does not repeat not count for the Capture Flags missions.

 

Mission chains are already a bit of a chore.

 

This would be a perfect reason to ditch "normal battles" and just play Custom battles.

For me it is the polar opposite. If I do not have missions to work towards I almost always find TO less interesting to play. And the Custome battles are always 99% valueless to me.

 

I would like if chains reset back to 1st week after completing a 4th week chain, that would allow me to take breaks after a 4 week round or use another account for a 4 week round, I wouldn't feel chained to mission chains.

You can take breaks now. It would be the same thing as the system you predict will happen.  No one is forcing you to play TO.

 

I reckon the odds TO does what you predict at about 0.00000001%. Never say never.

 

----match ---- making --- match ---- making ----- match --- making -------

 

Come onnnn Matchmaking.  Having a 50% chance of getting on a decent team is better than the current odd of about 10%.  

 

Right now 90% of all games at any given moment are either 

 

* Full up at 10x10

* Blowouts

* Major rank disadvantages

 

Sure it looks like there's a lot of game to choose from. But mst are games you won't want to choose.

 

(I don't have to worry about the rank disavantages much if any any more, but it is a hard road at the lower ranks.)

wow , it did it for me last week which I was shocked it happened. I seldom do ASL battles unless I'm force to do it. in other words if you hit the change button and it comes again and again . then no chance on wasting any more crystals . done this a few ties in the past which ended up costing me around 15 times $$ crystals . so now when this happens I go in and just get one done asap.
