Declined Provide XT/Prime/Demonic/Legacy tokens rather than specific skins

Make The final reward of the challenge any XT skin of the Users Choice and a Prime Skin of the Users Choice

[LOLKILLERTOTHEDEATH 1,921]

I feel that challenges should give tokens for specific skin tyeps rather than specific skins. For example, getting to the last challenge of a tier awards a player with a token which can be used to get a skin of the same class (if the challenge had Viking prime as the reward for the battle pass last tier, then it is possible for me to chose Hornet Prime or Thunder Prime instead).

This requires implementation of additional mechanics (i.e. basically a new currency, UI for conversion of coins into items, etc.) and does nothing but harm the project's revenue since this makes it easier for player to get what they want and therefore reduces the incentive to buy more containers or participate in more contests/challenges.

I see. Is it because players get the ability to chose what they want? Hence they won't spend on getting skins through other ways?

 

It doesn't have to be a new currency; players can be directed to a special garage as soon as they complete the challenge (it won't go away until you chose an item) and then they get all the skins in a class with an option saying "select"

Yes, pretty much. If this gets implemented, players won't benefit from it because it either means that the requirements will be raised, or the reward will be less valuable (e.g. in order to get a single skin of your choice you need to get 3 coins from 3 completed challenges).

I know that this idea is only related to Challenges, but the tokens thing made me get carried away and create a text wall: :P

 

In all the other games that had implemented updates like Containers, such as different levels of purchasable and obtainable "boxes" in 8 ball pool, or "potions" in Agar.io; they all gave you tokens or pieces of skins or cues which you had to collect to get that item unlocked. That was completely a trash and P2W system of fooling players to think they're actually gonna get something by opening a few, and to purchase more.

 

Containers in Tanki are the best because:

1. There are not different "levels" or a heirarchy of Containers. Containers bought, or obtained through playing, all give you the same range of rewards. Imagine Containers from Missions giving you only Common/Uncommon, those from Challenges Rare/Epic as well as the previous, and purchased Containers giving all including Legendary/Exotic. Would be seriously P2W.

 

2. Containers outright give you the rewards instead of cheating you by offering "parts" or "pieces" of cosmetics. It might seem that "only 5 pieces are needed to unlock it" in such games, but actually, you mostly unlock nothing after even opening 25.

But if the XT skin for the turret I use won't be available on a challenge untill 4 months-what incentive would I have to get a random XT skin?

But if I can get any turrets' XT skin one month-or any hulls' XT skin another month-I might have more of an incentive to play. It goes both ways.
