wouldnt exactly call it free to play unless you're a rugged veteran with all the drones and many batteries.

He’s being sarcastic.

everything that happens in TO is aimed at buyers with the F2P players a very very long way behind

From a business perspective, "buyers" are customers and "non-buyers" are part of the product.

Once again, a game can only generate revenue if it offers something to "buyers" which they find attractive enough to pay money for. The secret of a successful game is to offer such stuff for money that does not disadvantage "non-buyers" in the game and thus keeps the product vital. Aesthetic features like skins, or this event here, that is doing it right. However, selling functional features (like the EMP augment for Gauss as the most destructive idea Tanki ever had for this game) and making the game Pay-to-Win, that is doing it wrong.

I think this is a smart event. It certainly addresses not all players but the sub-set of "buyers" in particular, though this is no problem as it offers some fun for money without giving any disadvantage to players who do not want to spend money. Like skins and other non-functional stuff, which also addresses "buyers" without giving any disadvantage to "non-buyers". This is the way to go for Tanki, and not the dead road of Pay-to-Win.

All this said, however, I will not engage in this event, although as an advanced level legend and "buyer" I have the necessary drones decently upgraded as well as several thousand batteries in my garage. Because I am still largely boycotting MMS battles (as well as paying any money into this game) until this disgraceful experience boost nonsense is over. I would appreciate more such events in the future, then without experience boost.

Both your views gave me a different perspective...

Thanks!

American holiday event for Russian buyers? I don't get it. Not many countries have an Independence Day this weekend, and the Americans probably don't feel very independent from the Russian company with this event.

 

Alien [to free-to-play] technology will be required to compete for enhanced rewards in this event.

Not all buyers are Russian.

Wow. This is a new holiday never before seen in Tanki Online. What a cool holiday event this is. I really like the Ultra container rewards. I wish we had more Ultra containers like this in the near future.

To be honest with you, we should have a container celebration where we get to earn all types of containers including coin boxes as rewards. See this: https://en.tankiwiki.com/Containers

I'm not trying to be rude or anything but would it be okay if you didn't put all the text in another colour which doesn't go well with the eyes? The bright orange is slightly jarring. Thanks!

Put your Container celebration idea as an Idea/Suggestion on the Forum. It could get implemented if we are lucky. I would love to have this celebration. Nice idea!

So you can get containers with skins and  "augmentations" for turrets you do not even have or to get a few more mines and speed boost because the 30,000 you have are not enough! Another feeble attempt from Tanki "developers" to extract some money from the few suckers that "invest" in this crappy game.  An error has occurred, but who cares? we are having another sale!

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

OK. I'll use a dimmer color next time. For example, grey.

I am a free player, I have all drone required, (some mu-ed but not all)

I have 1200 battery, = 20 hrs.

but to do 1000 kills in 3 days,

means

if 20 kils per battle (most likely less than that in average), 7 mins = 20 kills, that is 1000 kills = 350 mins = around 6 hrs

if 10 kils per battle (most likely less than that in average), 7 mins = 10 kills, that is 1000 kills = 700 mins = around 12 hrs

means each day to play 12/3 = 4hrs.

if you sleep, that means about half of your life in that 3 days is tanki's

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

I would like to get my hands on 3 skin containers.

[FOUNDERSofTO 5]

Or you could simply go for an easier personal aim from these missions.

i.e...just try for the Flying ace mission...
400 kills for 2 Ultra containers using Hyperion, crisis or Brutus(cheap Drone)
10 kills per battle takes 40 battles. Most players will be doing at least a couple of battles a day anyway for daily missions. So I'll knock 6 battles off that 40 to find what it'll cost us extra in time/ resources for those 2 Ultras.

So say 10 kills per battle takes 34 extra battles. =238 mins = 4hrs in 3 days

resources used = 238 batteries & a lot of drugs(obviously!, in this game nowadays)

Extra Rewards while you're doing this are...

• higher funds.
• challenge stars & rewards
• Maybe even aim for UFO event 10 pit stop box reward for using 700 SB, you could probably do it in 4 hrs if you seek out SB drops & use a bunch of your own SB.
• You should get UFO event reload mission for using OD's...50 of each supply back.
• Toxic shot effect UFO mission...if u want it.

Completing all these independence day missions is designed to rinse drugs cache of hardcore players/buyers. Especially as these missions have been added a few days after a bunch of no-lifers already used loads of resources to complete the UFO missions & the challenge already.  Many on this topic are thinking the whole of these missions are not worth it, true in most cases. But you can still get something out of it. In the example above it depends on luck of what u get from those 2 ultras.
