May Holidays begin April 29th!

This game is run through lies and deception. they reducedthe power of railgun so that people could buy alliterations and two days ealier they improved the chain missions by giving same reward in week 10. I also find this sale weird: MU sale came before the garage. Normally,you buy from the garage and upgrade them. I find that wierd

 

I dont mind them making some money but I hate the way they lie and deceive people. I like playing the game but I hate they it is run

Railgun was nerfed because it was much too powerful and ruined game balance. The alteration is an option to make it viable without over-powering it.

The reward for week 10 is, in fact, better than week 4 and more than balances out in a few weeks. That would already be good, but now chain progress cant be lost.

As for the order of the sales, its not a big deal, TO is giving out so many MU sales now it should be no problem.

And even if your complaints were true, the devs have not "lied" to us or "deceived" us in any way, shape or form that Im aware of. If you discover something, by all means let me know.

You have obviously been playing a long time.  I would love to have your garage.  But think of it this way.  If TO doesn't make money we wouldn't have a game to play.  We can pay or play for free, our choice.  It is a business after all.

I cry every time....

Wait till MM gets here. It will be a little more difficult.  But still fun!!

Yeah, forgot about that. I only play ordinary battles to do missions though, MM doesn't affect pro battles.

You can do all of this without paying money.

The mission improvement is to help people that cannot play everyday and lose the benefit of the chain. It also help tankers that do play everyday and have maintain the week 4 for a certain amount of time, but for some reason have to stop long enough to lose all of it to a point they have to start to week 1. 

The changes affect most those who have the chance to play their preferred game everyday. However in the long run the new week 10 rewards will provide more than the current week 4. It is best to work a bit for this.

This new change is way better than the time they cup back from the x3 to x1.5 and still better than before x3 (May 2017) plus it is good as you will never ever lose your progress.

Personally, I don't mind not having higher equipmentpercentages, on all my accounts I am in the M2 MU grind, not in the purchase new equipment phase. Also, standard equipment sales ENABLE the purchasing of multiple M1s, which leads lower experienced accounts astray. When you are first Lt, have 9 m1s and master of none, and have to fight m2 and m2.10 tanks, you will scream. I have screamed the scream. I have heard the scream. 

 

I ended up in a max rank WO4 battle just now where one of the two Stinger kits running around had .9 on the hull. Ouch.

Yeeeouch. On my alt, at WO4 I had m1.10 fire and m1.8 hornet while still trying to MU 6 other pieces of equipment.

 

I was recording myself purchasing MU for my m2s (finally nabbed m2.10 for twins after only 4 months :), and I was 2 ◊ short of being able to to get Titan m2.7. But else, the sale was timed perfectly, i was able to MU everything I wanted and I have but 10◊ left over. :)

Many benefited a lot from doing missions everyday in the old chain system, including I, it was play daily to win for them. Casual players had no chance unless they spent some money. Many don't like to see that, instead they'd like to think that they are doing good because they are one of the best in Tanki.

 

Now that Tanki is removing the play everyday advantage things will be different eventually. However, with 4 containers, everyone can manage to do well if they manage their finances well.

 

But that doesn't make sense for Tanki, I think there'll be more economic affecting updates, could be a change to containers or maybe a new equipment modification level.

 

I know this celebration is lacking a "cool" element for many players, maybe special missions would help on that aspect, or helicopter golds that are not dependent on battle performance but everyone's performance, X2 or more gold only attracts more mults and hackers.

Happy people spend money. Poverty stricken tankers, and angry frustrated players, don't.

nives can you stop with the 30% sale, bro I need 50% ,you know what, all you need and your dev friends is money and in shop sales omg 50% in all crystels and premium and paints and containers

[nemoetnihil 388]

Even with the double funds, the ten minute battles have smaller funds than the 15 minute ones had without double funds. LAME.

But if, let's say you only have 15 minutes to play, you can pick 2 battles of 7.5 minutes.

1st, 5 Flag limt is nub, you cant play a good game in 10m.

 

And where’s DBF?

[LittleWillie 3,199]

Yeah true, I think I upgraded Striker and Magnum to 7 at normal but because I wanted to get more into its gameplay.

the rest was done at 4-5 normal Mu's until I switched to sales. Freeze, Firebird, Railgun and Mammoth are purely fueled by MU sales because I rarely use them currently. 

 

Personally, they get too expensive for me when an M3 has reached 4-5 upgrades. That is when an upgrade will pass the 10K boundry  :wacko:. It is all up to you to decide at which point they're not worth the full price anymore.

 

On the other hand, these kind of sales seem to become the default choice for the developers to use in events.. they're not so rare anymore as a few years back. If the event takes up a few days, the MU sale will most likely be active on the last day though. I would've done the very same thing if I owned the business.

 

Anyway, you gain a lot from them if you MU multiple items, I can't think of a more effective spending strategy in this game. 

Yes agreed 100%. I realized this when my LittleWillie account reached Colonel or Brigadier.I had my core itemsd MU'ed up so at last was starting to get some extra income and a lonnnng way to m3 unlocks. So I started buying modules to screen against all 13 turrets. I applied that lesson to my lower-ranked accounts. I bought a dozen or so modules on the year-end/new year sales and have been MUing everything up in parallel. 

 

Old school players told me over an over I would be crushed during these ranks because I did not buy an m3 kit at MajGen. But what happened is my k/d has gone up during this time because I can deploy large protections against whatever turns out to be the most aggressive threat in any game. I'm still 40k exp from Marshal but I already have 4 m3 modules at 43-47% plus the Spider module at 48%. m2 Hull, turret and two more modules at full MU awaiting free trade-in at Marshal and plenty of moolah to MU them when I hit Marshal. (Over 30 un-opened Containers and counting.)

 

Not really true. New Years was 1k. Valentine's Day was 1k. Iron Days was 1k. Halloween was 1k. So it would be nicer if they increased the amount of crystals in a gold box for TO's birthday or these celebrations :)

April Fools boxes up to 25k.  3-4 recent events with Black Box containers dropping.  I did not say EVERY event had upscale GB drops I said several did.  I do not expect lavish rewards each and every single event.

 

That just invites them hackers.

Double funds and good sales are much better.

 

 

This game IS pay-to-win.

And thats the reason why tanki has enough money to pay its developers.

 

You play for maybe 2 hours per week per account, so you don't feel it, but if a free player wants to play an hour a day, or more, he will not be able to compete with people in his rank.

Maintaining multiple accounts is the only way f2p players can play more of this game, but that gets very cumbersome for most after a point.

No it is not. See above for an example. My other accounts are in even better shape than LittleWillie. I do not buy.  I have thousands and thousands of supplies in stock. 

 

Your example is not 'pay to win' It is pay to play all day.  TO gives players enough resource to play an avvount for 2-3 hours / day for free.  If you want to play 10-12 hours a day it seems reasonable to me to pay the company something for all that entertainment time. But it not required, nor does playing 10 hours  / day mean the same thing as playing competitively.

 

TO has many many flaws but in the 'pay to win' department TO offers the free player a SUPERB situation.

[RevengeAttacker 217]

In general I MU the first 5 steps at normal cost then the rest on sale. The savings from the low end of the MU scale is not worth the time to wait for a sale. For m3 modules you can actually do a 2-3 more steps at full cost if you are flush. I haven't hit Marshal yet so I've not yet MU'ed an m3 turret or hull (20 steps) so I am not sure at what point I'll stop for sales only.

Then i MU first 5 of my twins and viking m2 to M3, and MU the rest to M3 with a discount?

[bozo88 450]

I spent a good portion of my TankiLife ignoring modules, I but Firebird like everyone, than a 3x ursa, and kept that m0 all the way until this past Happy New Year, when I bought M2. Now I have realised I need to purchase something with magnum it, and have done that on my low accounts. However, I still don't quite see the need to buy 4 or 5 different modules just to get a bit of protection against whoever annoys me the most. Usually its myself.

[r_eXistenZ2 1]

I would like to enjoy the May holiday double battle fund event but there are too many hackers. I have to stop playing. It is not fun to play in such circumstance. Why you don't send someone to the battles to have a look. I am sure you will see these hackers are running around and you can ban them right away without waiting for player's complains and  then I am sure number hackers will decrease quickly. I now stop playing until the May holiday event is over then come back to see what will happen.

I agonized over my first module purchase. The M3 pricing meant I had to make a good choice - protections against what hurts the most. I picked Rail, Thunder, and Ricochet. That was wise. Every other module I ever bought has single digit usage, and I wish I had those crystals back. Rico-Twins-Firebird used to be good for Poly CP, but I stopped playing those battles.

Not in the least. I "wanna" you to stop posting incoherent gibberish which basically constitutes spam, and to either go back to playing Tanki or sod off until you have the courage to use your real account.

No need to be mean, looks like her or his English is not good, be patient.

This year the sales on May Holidays are 30%

2017 it was 30%

2016 it was 25%

2015 it was 25%

2014 it was 25%

 

People find all sorts of reasons to complain.

[Tani_S 736]

Exactly the strategy I'm following. It certainly takes a long time, but it's worth it in the long run.

Yep, it is. I started with MUing multiple items once around a year ago as the main method to microupgrade, when the prices for MUs were slashed.

Today I triggered the 20th MU for the remaining 6 hulls and turrets that were not full M4 yet  :)

Good boy, that's what I like to hear from muppets like you. Next time don't tell people what to do. 

[r_Issimo2 1,495]

I finished MUing almost at the last minutes.

 

Maybe M0s need to have only 5 MU steps.

I told Kim that because that's an option too for when you like someone's post. Sorry if I was not clear about why.
