08/08/2019 is gone.

 

What is the last update for Tankions? That is the third phase of the Tankions update. I don't remember.

Apparently they're gonna add places where TKs can be spent outside of the shop.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

So, the new weekly containers will only contain 3 Tankions. That's not much. Will players be able to buy something in the shop with only 3 Tankions?

Theoretically, yes. In practice it will be difficult to save up enough unless they are abundant in challenges and such.

If players would be able to purchase something for 3 Tankoins, what would be the point of having 3 Tankoins in a single container? Not to say that we've been told numerous times in advance that Weekly Containers won't contain a huge number of Tankoins.

 

1 Weekly Container gives you 3 Tankoins. You receive 6 Weekly Containers throughout the week (If you do your missions), that's 18 Tankoins per week. If you play actively throughout the whole year, you should get around 936 Tankoins for free, for something you've been doing without such reward till now. And that is not the end! Tankoins will also be in challenges and yes, in the free tier so the number will raise up. Also, I did not include any other special contests and events.

So, how many Tankions would be needed to buy the cheapest shop item?

So for playing for 1 year I get a bonus of 6 containers (3 boxes cost 450, x2 )

 

In 2 years I could buy a rename pass - oh my  :mellow:

I think that containers don't have enough Tankions in them. If a container is only worth 3 Tankions, then its not worth having Tankions in containers at all.

 

To be good, a container should hold 100 Tankions, just like gold boxes are worth 1000 crystals. 100 Tankions would be fair to players. Even if challenges offer Tankions containers, 3 in each container is like almost nothing at all. Developers needs to increase the number of Tankions earned in containers to 100 Tankions per container.

 

Now that Tankions are available in Tanki Online, I suggest that promo codes must be removed since they are no longer suitable for buying extra goodies in the shop. Just like card disappeared, promo codes must be removed as well.

That would break game balance. 600 tankoins per week is way too many. I do agree that the number shoul be increased, just not to such an extent.

[Marcus 17,296]

 

You get a MAX of 6 container per week. Many accumulate less than that because of 1st weekly mission and because of the 20-mission weekly mission.

 

You think accumulating weekly containers is not time consuming?

How much time does it take for you to complete daily missions? For me it is approximately 15-25 minutes on both main account and my alt (WO-4).

 

 

So, how many Tankions would be needed to buy the cheapest shop item?

The cheapest item in the Shop is 1 gold box at the moment. It costs 100 tankoins.
1 container or 3000 crystals cost 50 tankoine more, 150 tankoins.
There is no information about future items and their prices.

600 tankoins per a week, 2400 per a month.

 

Let's imagine such situation. This amount of tankoins will let you buy 16 containers or 27 golds or 1-2 paints or any product kit each month.

 

Let's say that it takes 30 minutes per a day for you. 3,5 hours per a week, 14 hours per a month.

 

As well, you receive crystals and challenge prizes during these 14 hours.

 

Such situation will lead to an economy fall. Less time will be needed to get items and players will lose interest soon.

 

What is the most important is that weekly containers is just one way of getting tankioins and more ways are coming soon

Hey
I didn't understand what you mean by "promocodes are no longer suitable".
The purpose of promo codes is to make it easier to giveaway items to players as well as for campaigns with partners, like Canyon or Nokia.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Promo codes are now useless. They must be removed, since we now have Tankions to buy items from the shop.

[Marcus 17,296]

Promo codes are not for buying but for receiving items from the Shop  :)

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

I know, but Tankions now replace Promo codes.

I didn't say that it's a big number nor that you can buy a lot of items for it, just that it's a bonus to something you've been doing without such extra rewards till now.

[The_Pakistani 16,768]

Fix it, Thanks

[Marcus 17,296]

Could you describe how tankoins replace promo codes?

They have quite different purposes.

[WhoWantTheSmoke 1,984]

Fix it, Thanks

If they changed it to actually 3 coins, it'd look super weird, I highly doubt it will be done xD

[RlCK 1]

....... :(

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

The way Tankions replace Promo codes is that both are used for buying shop items. Promo codes is a code that you input into the Promo Codes code bar to buy a shop item. The only problem is that only one person can use a Promo code. Tankions can be used by the same person as many times as possible as long as you own enough Tankions to buy one or more shop items.

 

Since Tankions are so much better for buying shop items, Promo codes are old fashioned, so they are no longer needed. Tankions makes it easier for every player to be able to buy as many shop items as they desire, plus Tankions now fall from containers in battles. Very soon, challenges will offer Tankions through containers. The difference between Tankions is that players don't need to enter a Promo code in the code bar. All they need to do is to select the shop item they wish to buy and click on OK to confirm the purchase. Also, for mobile players, Tankions makes it possible to buy shop items when there are discounts available.

Tankoins are only a penny in the store. 

 

You can buy  30 containers worth of Tankoins for less than a dollar. Maybe if everyone would buy a couple of dollars worth they could afford to quit playing these stupid tricks to make more money.

You might want to re-visit math class.

 

$1.49 USD gives you 150 tankoins.

1 container costs 150 tankoins.

So... 1 container costs $1.49 USD.

 

For economies of scale 25 containers costs 3200 tankoins or 1700x2 tankoins for $28 USD.    You skip a decimal or something?

My  point was that you get 3 Tankoins for FREE from every container that you earn from missions. 30 containers would give you 90 tankoins, which you could BUY for less than a dollar in the store. You might want to re-visit your reading comprehension studies. No one here wants to buy anything, They seem to think that the developers live off of good reviews and happy tankers, not money. I get your point though, I just thought the reading comprehension comment would be funny.

That's another way to look at it.

 

If you do all missions in a week you get 6 weekly containers, so...

 

6x3=18

 

Then 150 toins divided by 18 is 8.33.

 

So you need to do all missions for 8.33 weeks to earn 150 toins.

 

And how much 150 toins cost in the shop? That's your point.

 

But we're not only earning 150 toins when doing missions for 8.33 weeks.

[jimjim99 4]

I might need to re-visit math class after all.

By my calculations it would take 2.67 YEARS to collect enough tankoins for one 2500 supplies kit.

That is not good for the free players. 

 

The cash prices in the shop were raised by over 50%t with the addition of tankoins.

That is not good for the buyers.

 

So I guess my real point is this: This update is a cash grab.

 

In exchange for .09 cents of tankoins a week buyers get to pay $23.00 instead of $14.99 for a Predator kit.

 

I understand that there are bills to pay, and server bandwidth is not free. That is why I buy.

Maybe if everyone bought just a dollar or two, once or twice a year tanki could afford to not play these head games.
