The Stars threshold is bad. It needs to go. The argument was to not reward inactive players just sitting in the battle to get a Star. That isn't what is happening. Active, honest players are being deprived. It is impossible to reach the threshold in some situations no matter how good the player is. If a player doesn't have at least six minutes, it is almost certain there will be no Star reward. Battles can get over faster than that. Often, players are stuffed into hopless battles with as little as 60 seconds remaining.

 

It is bogus. Tanki is actively harming regular legitimate players with the Stars threshold.

I agree that the threshold should be lowered.  What you say here is completely true.  I have done several full battles and not gotten 100 points because my teammates are constantly vanishing and the opposition is slaughtering.  I've also had it had games where my team is winning and by such a margin that there aren't enough targets still alive to make the 100 core.  It i annoying to play a full battle an get hosed out of at least one star.

Usually I'm critical of Tanki since they just can't seem to o anything right, but I think they did an overall good job on this whole "Challenges".  In terms of marketing it is pretty brilliant since it is retroactive.  All players accrue level rewards.  Much later in the course of the time period, players are going to see what they already won and for buying the battle pass, they will get 3X their current hoard of rewards...going to moyivate a lot of player to buy the pass in the last couple of weeks I think...good marketing Tanki.

 

It seems to be pretty well structured and the quest for stars isn't causing as many problems with game-play as the "Stars Weeks" did.  All players will get ome nice prizes since the time frame is so long.  An players may be motivated to play more since that tasty next level prize is only a few star away.

 

This "Challenges" is a welcome addition to the game...good work Tanki.  Now clean up the myriad of idiotic updates and toxic changes to the game and Bob's your uncle.

What are the 'Main' Missions?

There will be standard task for all tankers with no dead lines. These might include tasks such as getting kills, playing battles, or delivering flags.  There will also be tasks for beginners, connect your email, play your first battle, purchase a turret, and so on. :)

I reluctantly agree. While I'm down on Stars as a reward system, and I loath the Stars minimum threshold, I do think the Challenge is an overall good idea. It will reward the diligent with extra, and will approrpiately reward the more casual player. It rewards the free player, and handsomely rewards the players willing to part with a 5USD.

 

The Stars threshold is a sad insult to the players, especially those who are below average, either in skill or in interest. It is Tanki rudely snubbing players. Insult to injury at its most deplorable.

Maybe in the future, if there's a future, Stars should be given this way, in team battles:

In DM it could be like this: 5 4 4 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 1.

 

Score of 1 - 50 = 1 star

 

Score of 0 = 0 stars

 

And the Star goals would be higher of course, an idea I have for this idea is 2000 Stars in 30 days.

I don't think 42 days is too much. It gives high chances to a lot of players.

 

So far I have around 100 stars. I can't play everyday, just like a lot of players.

 

2500 stars for 25 days, it's 100 stars per day dude. It's 20 battles finished in first position (with your proposition of 5 for the first player), in the winning team. Or 10 battles with Premium. It's, at least, 2 hours per day.

What I like about the Challenges is that it is not forcing you to grind all day to receive nice rewards. I believe this way is giving much more positive experience to gameplay. It is a challenging bonus on top of normal gaming. Ofcourse there are people no-lifing this kind of events. Let them be and I hope they have a nice life beside it. But for me -who cannot play everyday, I am very happy that I can do the challenges in my own tempo without having the feeling I'm missing out on everything.

You're right, I did a wrong guesstimate.

 

I think 2000 in 30 days would be better, that means 13.3 battles with 5 stars per day, 16.6 with 4 stars, 22.2 with 3 stars, and 33.3 with 2 stars. Too much? Yes, but better than the current system of 15.8 battles with 3 stars per day, 23.8 with 2 stars, and 47.6 battles with 1 star.

In my opinion.. everyone on the winning team should get one extra star.

The rich get richer?  <_<

 

No one would stay on losing team.  As soon as team falls behind players will drop out.  This would ruin battles.

Why? Because your team won? But did you actually do any favour for the team? What happened to working hard for the first/second place to get those 6 stars? I've reached 1550 stars in a week - by simply becoming first 1st in each battle but the amount of talented players I have to face in the legend rank is insane, so many challenges to compete against the opponents, nightmare.

If you genuinely know how to properly earn points in battle then you will get first/second place in each battle - if not then you'll end up last, simple.

Eee. Depends. For some reason I get place into all legend battles quite frequently. Most have m4 everything. I don't Understand why I am the only one there that isn't a legend. Maybe its because I have an M4 and some close to being M4s?  But hey. I'm Flattered....
