declined Tankoin Ideas/Suggestions Everyone Will Love

[thunderhunter123 741]

Hi everyone,

As you know, we now have to pay about 5,000 Tankoins each to get approximately 42 Augments (48 later with the Ares Hull) in the Garage. This is if we don't want to open containers to get the augments or if we don't have any yet. Basically, it will be A LOT of Tankoins for us to get stuff now!

Currently, we get Tankoins from Weekly Containers (18 a week), Challenges (100 at Tier 50 if we get there), Coinboxes (If you get lucky), Contests (if they are offering), and maybe some others.

 

So I had some ideas that can help us get Tankoins faster. (This will make NON-buyers able to obtain at least ONE Augment in a faster time.)

 

1.) As you know, we have 2 currencies in the game: Crystals and Tankoins. At the end of every battle, the tanker get Crystals as a reward for playing well. We also get Stars during Challenges. We should add in Tankoins as a reward for every battle as well. This is a Mind-Blowing Idea because ... Tankers will WANT to play Tanki Online A LOT MORE to get Tankoins!!!

The amount I thought of was simple: 0 to 2 Tankoins at the end of each battle depending on how well each tanker played and what Place they were in (1st place is 2 Tankoins, ...)

With Premium, we get 0 to 4 Tankoins (just like with Stars and Crystals.)

With this update, we will get a lot more Tankoins and be able to buy our 5000 Tankoin Augment! ALL tankers will be happy to know that it is possible to get that many Tankoins.

 

2.) In the beginning, we used to get Crystal Boxes giving 10 Crystals each. I think I remember other Crystal Boxes also giving 20 or 100 Crystals.

So since we removed Crystal Boxes, we should update the game and create Tankoin Boxes that can drop anywhere on the map (With no Drop Zones). They will drop from a lower height so that only a few tankers see them. (Not like Gold Boxes where almost the entire map can see it dropping) They will each give only 1 Tankoin!

 

 I was answered by a Helper of the Game on why Crystal Boxes were removed. I know that Tankers might go to catch the Tankoin boxes instead of playing the actual game, but they should also know that they can get 0 to 2 or 0 to 4 Tankoins for playing the game well. Thank you!

This idea would completely ruin the economy of the game, which is unacceptable on the Developers' standards. The current pricing and methods of purchasing have all been methodically laid out to both give Players a good experience, while also maximizing profits for the game. If Tankoins were being given out for free, that would make it so no one ever has to purchase anything, which would significantly hurt the business's profits.

Let's just think about your idea of 0-4 Tankoins at the end of a battle...There's TONS of people that collect all 1,000 stars needed to complete the Challenges. For this example, let's just say that a person completes all battles in the First Place spot (awarding both 6 stars, and 4 Tankoins) during the period they are trying to finish their Stars. To do this calculation, you will need to do: 1000 / 6, which equals roughly 167 (this is the number of battles this player would play to earn their stars). If we multiply this number by 4, we will get the number of Tankoins that player would get throughout the entirety of the Challenge. 167 x 4 = 668. That's 668 Tankoins (roughly $6 worth of Tankoins), while also completing another objective in the game. Not only would this player get a Skin Container at the end of this, they would also receive that amount of Tankoins, which would completely break the economy.

Back to your idea, the game specifically does not accept ideas from Players on new rewards, or changes to existing rewards. With all of this being known, your idea is without a doubt not going to come out in the game, sorry.

I mean, the idea sounds pretty cool theoretically, but then you're getting about a thousand extra tankoins if you finish a Challenge! Tanki would rather livestream the developers doing the Harlem Shake again than give out free handouts. So, the chances of that happening are slim to none.

Colors, fonts, and styles do not matter, and this is an online Forum anyways. You can be as childish or as mature as you want.

[thunderhunter123 741]

Mr. Nibbles and printing_now. You guys are not wrong. But I was thinking about one last thing we could do for this update if possible.

 

Why not tell the company to raise the prices of Tankoin items by a lot.

This way, tankers will WANT to play more and get a lot of tankoins in battle.

 

1 Container can cost 500 Tankoins. If tankers can get tankoins in battle, then they will definitely play a lot more Tanki, save up for items they want, and get their favorite item from the Shop.

Please share your thoughts on this.

There would be more tankers playing and earning Tankoins. The prices can be raised. If this update were in the game, tankers would find it both Good News and Bad News!

Good News: we can earn Tankoins in battle

Bad News: the prices of Tankoin Items in the Shop are raised a lot.

Always thought we were encouraged to use the default grey font.

A little customized font is fine (I do it) - but wow - that's just eye pollution.  Not gonna read content formatted like thatttt.

Luckily, you don't have to read the idea, you just can if you want. Us Forum Moderators have to read through them, but regardless of what players' opinions of an idea are, it usually won't impact our decision on it.

I like using colors and other things for my posts because it keeps the reader engaged and interested in reading the entire thing. The colors show different important points a person (Like me) want to let others know about!

 Sorry if it makes you feel bad. I like to be creative with all my posts.

That would annoy players, big time. I don't want to get a kit that costs 100000 Tankoins... that would just be crystals with another name that you can also buy and you can buy other things with it.... i dont know if that'll work.

I skipped it - very hard to read.   It's like highlighting an entire page in a text-book - what's the point?

I have a friend who does that - I understand that people do that, but I can't sit through it. Just highlight important things with one color...

In this case it's way too much. And there's a good reason why the default font is grey, because white on a dark background is too hard on the eyes. Does the exact opposite of keeping readers engaged.

[ILiveOnTheChatBox123 936]

I think that the main reason for using multiple colors, is to highlight one word out of a whole paragraph, or to make a text wall seem slightly more appealing. However, if you want to make your keywords stand out, I suggest you use Italics or Bold lettering. While this also shows a strong emphasis, it does not make the paragraph seem to spin around in your reader's heads. This is especially true in a friendly place like this forum, where most players are anyways reading your comments. It does not help to highlight your text in multiple colors, and most players would simply rather using the default fonts. Unless you are raising the font size or changing the color for a title or caption.

"Everyone will love"... the players may, but the developers would rather add "enter battle" passes costing 5$ per battle.

Maybe tankoins could be collected as a battle prize or put as mission prizes.

Thread merged from the Q&A section.

Please see the first post for an explanation regarding your suggestion. Do note that tankoins can already be obtained for free from the monthy challenges.

 

If you've got any ideas or suggestions for the game, please post them here in this Forum section, Ideas and Suggestions (though make sure to fully read the guide for posting ideas first).

Like the Black Container Box (in addition to GoldBox), add a Tankoin box? i.e. 25 per box. Also this box would be as rare (or even more) as the Black box it self.

It won't be worth as much as a Goldbox or a container if it's only 25 tankoins, so it should not be of the same rarity. I would say it should be worth.as much as 125-150 koins if it were to drop as frequently as a black goldbox, but that would make the challenge tankoin reward look like a joke, so therefore it's unlikely to be implemented.

Well, I dont have much problem with getting 100 or 125 tankoins, but the devs might.

Though atleast 25 is better than nothing ; with weekly containers I hardly even collect 50 tankoins.

To be honest I think the current Tankoin system isn't very good for F2P players, because you can't do very much with the little tankoins that you can earn from weekly containers, challenges etc. There is no way to earn additional tankoins if you intend to do so. Right now it's more of an additional item that comes with a main reward rather than something that you can save up at a decent speed like crystals. 

[vourlo 28]

I think that in tanki now its a bit hard to collect tankoins. For non buyer its once every 1 week if you complete all the missions and they will give you 18 tankoins alltogether we all know that. I would suggest more ideas of collecting tankoins like:

Rewards from mission: For example for a hard mission or a weekly mission one can receive a couple of them (10,15 something like that)

Dropping in battle as a gold box: For example containing 50 or so Tankoins (Tankoin Box will be dropped soon)

More ways to receive coinboxes: Not only in discount weekends.End of the weekly mission etc.

That means that your idea has been merged (i.e. combined) with an already-existing idea (/ Forum topic), which is either of same or similar nature.
