Done 2.000+ Stars, thanks Tanki Online for event and awards!

Care to describe your efforts?

 

What all did you do? How did it go?

 

I look forward to what a Legend37 has to say about it. Do you have Premium? I assume you bought the Pass for the extra stuff. Yes?

With another account right?

i am currently busy with Tier 41 and should reach Tier 50 soon. the only concern i have is that i already

have a Fire XT, and Tier 50 shows i already received my reward (as seen in the screenshot). i would like

to know whether i could get the Isida XT, otherwise i would basically only be rewarded for 49 Tiers.

Unfortunately, they said in the V-LOG that there's no compensation if you already have certain items from the challenges.

Unfortunately, you cannot exchange tier rewards for other rewards (/ game items) that you don't already own. I suggest that you purchase the Battle Pass, so that you can get the Hunter XT skin upon reaching the fiftieth and last tier of the current Challenges (and in addition to that also receive better rewards while progressing through the remaining locked tiers on the way there (plus receive all the Battle Pass-only rewards for all the previous tiers that you've already completed!)).

that is total and utter . . . T/O for the $$$ as usual

kindly refrain from using profane abreviation

[Ult1m4t3-X 1]

Viking4s: i have spent hundreds of dollars on T/O over the years cause i really love this game, and to have this happen to me,

now that i am a little bit cash-strapped is extremely frustrating.

 

for me there is no reward at the end of this challenge. i have been a loyal T/O supporter and i feel that surely that seeing that

this is the "Grand Prize" an exception can be made. it would cost T/O nothing as the XT Skins go for the same price.

 

go ahead, check my Purchase history . . . and then tell me this treatment is fair . . .

Chaos, me, personally, I wouldn't have taken your suggestion kindly. I'd wonder why you didn't think I understood the battle pass and extra stuff for it. Given the fact you took the extra time to include a link, I hope I'd be able to give you the benefit of the doubt. 

 

Ult, hard core props! Speaking for myself, I thought the extra stuff worth the 5USD. I even paid it for my son, even though he's not likely to get more than half the tiers, and I'm not likely to get more than two-thirds. Of course, if you can't pay, you can't. So be it. I agree you might as well ask. I applaud your effort. You won't get it if you don't ask, but it seems you have been around too long to hold much hope they will budge on this. It won't cost Tanki dollars, but it will cost someone time (and time is money).

 

Viking, thank you for taking the extra effort.

[x_Sorinel_x 52]

I'm getting so bored with all this stars event... Same battles, same maps, many unfair MM teams.

In 14 days, just 312 stars; with the help of 10 days premium from container. It will expire in 01.01.2019. I wonder if I will reach 500 stars in 29 days.

 

To bad we don't have missions with stars reward. Like earn crystals in CTF for 3 stars. Destroy 50 enemys for 5 stars. Finish 3 battles in CP for 4 stars.

Unfortunately, when TO specify specific reward/bonus they never propose alternative (none that I have heard of). As OkDad70 proposed (if you never ask you will never get) you can still request via the help-desk to make an exception for you. I would wait until you reach the final tier. But don't hold too much expectation here.

 

I am an helper on the forum, I am not linked to the TO team and certainly do not have access to your purchase history. So none of us can plea for your request, we only report your concerns, idea and other bits, you still have to use the proper channel (help desk) as they have the tool to help you out if required.

 

Viking, thank you for taking the extra effort.

hum? As long as it stays within the boundary of the helper's role. I can't make it rain.

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

I really don't like this update, it just means that I'll constantly be facing players with m3s or m4s no matter with game mode. And I bet the same is true in the lower ranks.

[Hancho 3,902]

Finally got 2000 stars. Taking a break from Tanki now. It was too much. In near future, I hope they will make us earn 2000 stars for XT freeze because I would happily do it. All I want is XT freeze.

Wow. I've got 247 and I thought I was playing too much -_-

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.  

Simple is it?

 

Many people "genuinely know how to properly earn points in battle"

 

Put 5 of those people in same battle and your math does not work out...

It's just about luck at this point.

Hard to be first when everyone else in the battle can just as easily get up there.

You still have to work and fight your way trough there. 

[OKDad70 862]

Speaking for myself, hopefully providing a useful perspective, I used to find myself in the top three most of the time. I never thought whether it was winning team or losing team because the top-three mission didn't exist, and we didn't have Stars to worry about.

 

With the change over the last several months, my ability to reliably get first is significantly diminished, and I find that being in the top three on the winning team is relatively rare. I think it is about one in eight battles, or about 1.5 hours play-time for 1X on the top-three mission. It seems to be primarily luck. I'm playing Ricosck heavily with M4 Rico-Dic. I'm playing OKDad70 some with M4 Twins-Vik or Titan, or Thunder a little. And I'm playing an M1-M2 account wth Freeze-Hornet significantly for a few days. Six to eight battles just to get one top three on the winning team regardless of rig or rank.

 

I still find myself at the top of the board when my team was blown out. I suppose most of the other good players on those losing teams weren't as stubborn (or dumb), and they left. When I'm on the overly dominant team, it seems mostly a matter of being lucky to get the targets first. I don't think my skills and determination have lessened. I think the game balance has tipped away from favoring skill and determination. The game seems to favor abandoning hopeless teams and avoiding close-in fighting. (Of course, for me, my primary aim is close-in fighting.)

 

Overall, everything seems mostly dependent on luck (or grinding for extra hours). Of course, poor players will have a low success rate even when Fortuna smiles. Thus, they probably need ten to twelve battles to get the top three spot on the winning side. Ouch.

 

If hacking and cheating aren't actually up, some combinations of drones and alterations make things too different to tell. Too many tanks seem to take far more from me than I'd expect, and they seem to survive hits from others, too.

 

Wolverine acts like Isida can't kill anything, but I usually find myself destroyed by the time I realize an Isida beam is hitting me, less than two seconds, practically a one-shot from a Shaft. Heck, Isidas often kill me faster than a Striker's full-salvo does, considering the time from seeing the first rocket fire to when the last rocket exploded. 

 

Challenges overall seems a good thing for the game. Stars, not so much, especially the deceptively billed "inactivity" rule that routinely deprives honest players of their fully-earned reward of Stars.

 

I'm trying to keep notes and keep track of how things actually go as objectively as I can figure out to do. So far, top-three missions are far harder than they should be for daily and for weekly missions and their comparatively meager rewards. I'm also finding that I consider between 1 and 5 and 1 in 4 battles to be reasonable and balanced. 75% or more of battles are sad.

 

Perhaps X-O and some of the optimists are truly so skilled and routinely smiled upon by Fortuna, but I suspect if they started logging per battle, they'd find their tallies not as impressive as they presently think.

 

If someone can offer actual data and statistics, I'd appreciate seeing, but my best guess remains that the majority of players logging into this game at least three times per week are playing less than 8 hours per week, which isn't enough to get 15X 1-3 wins, and isn't enough to get all 20 to 21 daily missions. The game being more challenging would not deserve complaints. The game simply being more demanding, while offering less reward and more frustration should be criticized. 

 

The Challenges system helps, but very little for most players.
