Specific Equipment Special Missions

 

Hi folks, this topic is for discussing Tanki’s “Special Missions” for Holidays and Events that require specific equipment to complete them. Do you think it is fair to expect a player to be able to switch combos anytime? Are these missions only for buyers? Is your combo due for the next mission? Remember, this is not for complaining about the devs, only for a clear argument of your opinion.

Special Missions were announced this past February. Many of them are EXP, battle score, supplies, or gold box missions that all players can equally play. Many of them were standard missions with an extra twist. Yet, this month they got equipment specific. Therefore, it is certainly not enough time for devs to have evened out all the missions. Additionally, there are other holiday factors such as maps that may help certain players, yet will be too complicated to debate in this topic. The same goes for the rewards, which are debatable, and may require other missions to get a packaged reward. Here I will calculate which combo specific missions were implanted, and which ones are still waiting their turn. I will also rate out of 5, how hard I feel each mission is. Feel free to disagree below.

Range/Weight	Turret/Hull	Total Latest Mission Type	Latest Mission	Time	Difficulty
Melee	Isida	200 kills/14 days	50 kills	11 days	1/5
Melee	Firebird		50 kills	11 days	1/5
Melee	Freeze		50 kills	11 days	1/5
Close	Hammer		3000 kills	17 days	4/5
Close	Twins		3000 kills	17 days	4/5
Close	Ricochet		3000 kills	17 days	4/5
Medium	Smoky		1111 kills	1 day	5/5
Medium	Striker		1111 kills	1 day	5/5
Medium	Vulcan		1111 kills	1 day	4/5
Medium	Thunder		1111 kills	1 day	5/5
Long	Shaft		5000 kills	16 days	5/5
Long	Gauss		5000 kills	16 days	5/5
Long	Magnum		5000 kills	16 days	5/5
Long	Railgun		5000 kills	16 days	5/5
Light	Wasp		300 OD activations	16 days	2/5
Light	Hornet
Medium	Hunter		50 OD activations	3 days	1/5
Medium	Viking
Medium	Dictator
Heavy	Titan
Heavy	Mammoth		50 kills w/ OD	17 days	2/5

I will try to update this every once in a while, and so far there is barely anything conclusive.

If a helper wishes to close this topic, please contact me first using forum PM so we can have a civilized discussion before closing this topic.

Well. Special missions are an extra from what we had before. It doesn't bother me if I am not able to do it. Most of them require too much time anyway.

I would like to know how you created that table. I see no option to do that. Also, I see many people use larger text sizes, but I don't see such an option 

[sensei_tanker 3,098]

I have no issue with special missions as of now. Our current special missions is most solvent in our current form, especially considering that regardless of the turret/hull requirements, buyers/hard-core players would be the only ones to be able to actually complete the mission. Given that the reward is just a cosmetic, I see no harm.

[KillerDiesel 188]

As long as they don't become a part of daily and weekly missions, I really don't care.

Containers and items like drones and supplies are not "cosmetic".

Lockdown event that has missions based on garage equipment awards items+supplies+paints+skins

The previous weekend event 9based on garage items) awarded Ultra Containers - the ONLY way you can get hull alterations

One special mission- Use 300 Wasp ODs gave Blaster drone as reward.

Many special missions, restricted to certain turrets or hulls, offer supplies.

Recently, the use Hunter OD 50 times mission was there that gave Ultra containers as reward.

These aren't mere cosmetics.

You are right you can't make a table through through the actual forum, I made it in Word,and then I copied it here.

Wasp mission was kinda annoying, I knew I could do it on my lower ranked acc. but the reward was a drone I'd need ages to unlock, so I passed.

I'd like Ricochet to get a mission, but that's likely cause I'm very biased towards it  

 

[wolverine848 13,097]

Fix your poll - you have required fields.  If I pick buyers-only first question I'm certainly not picking anything in other 2.

When you receive the drone, you are able to use it regardless of your rank, as long as you have batteries and likely double damages to operate it.

You may be a buyer, and you think no one else but you can do it, as you yourself find it challenging. I would change that, but how do I make a question not required?

[sensei_tanker 3,098]

hahaha all i did for the poll was to select my own combo and the F2P option 

[F41TH 483]

Special missions, huh? What are those?

What?

I'm not a buyer.  These special events are designed for buyers who have lots of combos.

No idea.  Add another option that says "none-of-the-above" if you can't figure out how to make optional.

Aha, well unfortunately it's too late now, but thank you for telling.

[ILiveOnTheChatBox123 936]

I don't know why I rated this a 2/5, although I finaly finished it: http://prntscr.com/s8bbtl

What do you guys think of Isida getting doubled-up on special missions?

At least it's not long range turrets only.

I totally agree! Also, the recent selection of holiday maps were bad for melees, so they do need a boost.

[Okami 3,041]

I was, uh... a pretty big fan of the 50 Kills with Firebird/Freeze/Isida mission...
