Declined A Suggestion for "Crazy Weekends"

[Crip 4,735]

Alright, so.

 

These Crazy Weekends are largely a good idea. They encourage players to spend more time in-game, and they give free-to-play players a shot at getting some special paints that would normally cost real money.

 

However, I'm really not a big fan of Tanki using existing rare paints as these Weekend rewards. paints that some people (such as myself) were brainless enough to spend a lot of money on when they were released. Now I think this is unfair. A rare chance as a container reward is fine, but these Crazy Weekend rewards are too much. It happened to Steak, Mint and now it has happened Flow.

 

They just devalue the paint.

 

So, here is my idea. Keep the Crazy Weekends going, but rather than have existing paints as a reward, create a whole new paint (rather than putting them all in containers). The developers only seem to be focusing on creating new paints, so I don't see why they couldn't find the time to make another one.

 

As well as the usual 1000-2000 kills to earn this paint, there would also be an option to purchase this paint with real money from the shop, in case you didn't have the time/patience to earn it through the marathon.

Thing is, by buying Flow as soon as it was released, you already got to experience its value by being one of the first people to own it. After other animated paints were added and people started finding Flow in containers, the paint lost its novelty and is no longer as special, compared to when you bought it.

 

Adding a brand new animated paint as a reward for 2000 kills would be a bad business decision, since 2000 kills is completely free and not that difficult to achieve. So developers would miss out on a lot of revenue from people getting the paint for free via kills instead of buying the paint bundle from the shop. Flow, on the other hand, is already quite old and lost its novelty aspect, so it's a good reward to give away for free in the kill-tier events.

I have a better idea, why don't we just remove crazy weekend giveaways from the game forever? :ph34r:

um. . . so whats the difference? the paint would only appear then or something? i don't really get what your saying. . . 

anyway, if your saying its exclusive to then, that would be dumb. the reward should'nt be THAT good.

What about all the shop paints people bought before containers? They are literally worthless now, and some costed up to $40. I doubt it will be changed, unfortunate but thats how it is.
