Getting a skin is intended to be difficult. If containers dropped skins 1 out of 10 tries, then it would be much too easy, and there wouldn't be a purpose in investing a large chunk of time into completing a stars Challenge.

Shouldn't an alteration that is currently worth 20k crystals be the same rare as getting 20k crystals?

The first time we saw Ultra Containers (last weekend, with the "Crazy Weekend"), there were lots of ways to get them. If this wasn't just a special occurrence due to the debuting of these new containers, then I assume they will be equally simplistic to receive.

I personally think so, but we won't know if alterations can only be found in one rarity of these Ultra Containers, or several. I would like to see it possible to get an alteration that is 20K crystals currently as a blue (rare) item from these containers, but I am not sure if the Developers will make it this way.

I'm not talking about skins.  Skins aren't something that makes a difference to your gameplay, and your progression, and your crystals-earning ability.

On the other hand, alterations are. 

If you are forcing players without alterations to play against people WITH alterations - with no feasible way to redressing that imbalance - then you should have started with a level playing field by taking ALL alterations out of players' garages so that everyone has to start from fresh.

 

If you'd wanted to get rid of every player beneath Legend, taking alts away from them and forcing them to play others WITH previously-bought alts would have been the very way to achieve it.

I can't see why any low/mid-rank player - or even new ones - would want to stick around after this.

Hull Alterations are legendary (golden colored) items in the Ultra Containers, so I assume turret alterations will be the same, or even lower rarities (since turret alterations are offered for a varying crystal price, it may be that turret alterations can be found in different rarity containers).

Basically, devs are sneakily raising the prices. Besides, probability is not the same thing as owning, so it should be slightly lower.

Blue Rarity or Legendary Rarity alterations don't change the fact that the developers are locking once items accessible for a currency that could be earned, bought for by the player's own volition at any time, to loot boxes which TO gives out in very small amounts in weekly missions and challenges, with rewards given out completely random without any player input, if at all! 

People like you defending these draconian monetization practices are the reason why games fail.

Was the complete and utter failure of Tanki X not enough for you?! When will you people learn?!

What will happen to turrets’ alterations that we have now? Will it disappear from our garage too?

[Nicola_M 173]

I recall in the past someone suggested a Container given as Tier 50 in the Challenges should give us a choice of what's in it - the context was a skin. The response was that if players got the skin they wanted, they wouldn't do any more Challenges.

 

So, now we're at Containers with alts in them.  As we're not explicitly talking about the container at the end of Challenges, but ALL containers, there's absolutely no reason now why, when you get a container containing an alteration, that you shouldn't be given a choice of what alteration to take from it.

Between 14 turrets and 7 hulls, it will be impossible to get what you want.

No alterations that you currently have in your garage will be removed. They stay the same, and can be accessed just as usual.

That's exactly what i mean.  Can't speak for anyone else, but I only use Gauss, Thunder, Isida and Twins.  An alteration for everything else won't be a prize, it'll be a booby prize, about as useful to me as a chocolate teapot.

We should be given a choice of alteration in a winning container.

[Niklas 388]

So Alterations for Turrets AND Hulls will be only available from containers?

Contemptible. Utterly contemptible.

I guess the devs feel that the posters here do not represent the majority of players? If I were Tanki and cared about my future, I'd be very concerned about the contempt that the devs and their non_explanations are held in. Perhaps they feel that we've swallowed so much of their deliberate sh!t already and stuck around, that we'll just continue.

I see my volume of play (which was too high anyway) tapering off drastically, starting now. And I PROMISE you I will spend no more money. It was fun; it's still fun; but it's garbage. Because it's coming from same.

We do have better things to do, you know. You don't keep abusing your customers and expect them to stay forever. The sad thing is, I'm starting to think that's your plan.

That is exactly what is indefensible and contemptible in the devs decision.

How to crash your player base in 3 steps : 1 : Create a MatchMaking System, 2. Make players don't choose the map they wanna play on, 3. Never listen to your community to make interesting updates ! That's enough, I will never buy again in this game. It's time to buy stuff on other games that have future atleast.

I dont know why people are feeling sad. Its the Best update ever , can you make a new update where in all normal players in one team and all payers/buyers in one team and call it MATCHmaking . Oh wait , its there already. Sorry I am using Internet Explorer...

 

[LAROUSSE2003 29]

I just realised that if you want to have 5000 tankoins in the shop without buying, it will take you 277 weeks (5,34 years), so yes this game is becoming worst and worst.... if atleast they knew they had a good community.
