Interestingly enough, while it's extremely unlikely that you'll get more tankoins from opening these containers, they do seem to be an effective way of getting crystals and supplies. I spent 600 TKs on containers and got around 300 000 crystals and 250 of each supply (obviously less mines and batteries). This is much cheaper than buying them from the shop directly.

I did also get 2 sets of 100 TKs and 1 set of 300 from opening around 100 containers, so it's definitely possible to get those rare rewards.

sir its all in the luck of the draw , on  what comes out of the containers. for most players in the past it failed . this is why we refuse to buy or do any Gambling on these over priced containers .

I got over 40M crystals from the boxes, It has gotten to the point where I have nothing to spend my crystals on, Opened perhaps 20k boxes, a rough estimate, you definitely do not get all the tankoins back, but almost everytime I bought boxes with like 50k coins I got 80-90% of it back, in addition to the millions of crystals and supplies

At least you won't have to worry about speed-ups for your micro-upgrading.

100 coinboxes cost 1500 Tks where as 100 containers cost a lot more...how did you get them for just 600 Tks?

I bought less than 100 coinboxes.

As another example - just now I spent 1000 TKs on coinboxes and I kept getting all the TKs back. I even had more than what I started with at one point. In the end I opened maybe 300 coinboxes and got tons of crystals and supplies out of them, but eventually I wasn't able to get back the 1000 TKs I originally spent.

Sir it would be nice to be able to do this ,but  most are younger players .

also you get items from the company for your job here . others don't .

My point is that coinboxes can yield good rewards, especially if you open a few of them. Tankoins can be saved up, but I'm telling you (and everyone here) that if you choose to gamble with coinboxes, you should expect to never get the tankoins back, despite there being a decent chance of it happening.

sir if the rewards were better then they are more would buy into them. but seeing most got a failing mark from when they first came out . we lost any hope on getting better rewards . also in time this will be banned with the gamers commission . the ruling will be coming out in the spring on whether this is a form of gambling which you need a special permit for .

This depends on regional laws. If it's banned in UK, for example, it probably just means that you can't buy/open lootboxes while using a UK-based IP address.

The first few iterations didn't seem so. But this time definitely felt so, and maybe even too much so? We'll see how they tweak it in the future.

you would think that , but in the past most company's follow other rules . so they would benefit from it . see its easier to change ahead of time instead of having to do it later in the long run. and it also save's on the complaints from players. as time will tell this will be gone.

I literally gotten around 10 million crystals, about 30,000 supplies each, and 20,000 batteries (all are a rough estimates) from coinboxes over the months ever since they introduced them. I have opened probably around 5,000-7,000 Coinboxes as I kept buying them again after winning Tankoins back. Now I have almost a fully upgraded garage of Turrets, Hulls Modules, and a few drones (partially thanks to coinboxes). Coinboxes are a very good income for crystals and supplies, like you've mentioned.

Sir I did try the loot box again this time buying 5 instead of my normal 1 time buy. for this time around you can say things were way better then when they first came out. this time it gives players a higher chance on gaining better items.

so this round purchased 5 for the price of 75 tankions...// what  I ended up with was 6000 crystals and 71 tankions . giving me only a lost of 4 tankions .. which in my books is ok , due to the fact you can't buy things in the store at n/c . you have to pay for somethings.

 

would I do this again .. more then likely not.. its not so much the gambling issues its more I get more bang for my buck in crystal box's which I can purchase in house items. for the shop I have no need to buy kits or paints . when you can buy most of these items in garage.

now if they put protection back on the paints or gave us something special with each purchase then yea / maybe it would have to be worth the price.

Ok, I thought I was the only one with the rollover idea.....

 

Before I bought one set of cointainers (10800 TK worth):

And after the rollovers on the same single purchase:

Definitely a good deal.
