You can get your favourite missions by watching adverts on mobile.

Yeah,  I watched like 10 ad. today just to get a better daily mission (keep getting score 1500 points & deal 270k damage... finally got a "capture 3 flags").

Hmm.. I actually prefer deal damage missions over capture flags. Anyhow, its good that you know of this strategy.

Gotta play several battles to complete the deal damage missions.  On the other hand, I may be able to finish the capture flag mission in one assault battle.

Madness map would have been better maybe and 2 shots kill instead of one.

Oh Noooooo ...a double whammy of bad coding on the way. 

A special event map to generate massive lag like usual, plus the added monkey-wrench of a new hull to foul up unknown aspects of battles.  Tanki just can't ever seem to introduce something or generate any difference in configuration without glitching out the game for some period of time....EVER.  One can only hope the damage and lag caused by the new hull and event will be minimal and only destroy a small part of the designated time frame.

i may be an arch-cynic, but it is Tanki after all...where incompetence rules the code!

Like I said...every time they have an event map it's the same old thing...massive lag and lag related issues.  Tanki devs are incapable of having these event modes without severely impacting the entire game.  They couldn't fix it previously, but that doesn't stop them...they just roll out another event map/mode that does exactly the same thing to the game; completely ignoring the consequences.  Their incompetence and disregard is astounding.

Spoiler

So one more day of trashed gameplay, or in my case zero gameplay.  The event mode will be finished and the mysterious (sarcasm) "game server issues" will be fixed.  ...Only because the event mode is gone...Tanki is incapable of actually fixing their incompetent coding.

I was thinking hop and kill...

Bait and switch in the sense of showing something that's very OP in the Special Map, then switching it to what will be the normal Hopper, with slow OD recharge and regular normal turrets.

The event map with Hopper is fun.  What is absolutely wonderful about it is everyone is evenly matched.  It brings back some skill into Tanki instead of 70% luck and 25% equipment.  You can tell the players from years ago by their stealthy manner and high scores.  You can also tell the players that rely on nothing but advanced equipment.

I believe that if there were one mode in Tanki that all players were the same, regardless of rank, it would revive this dying game.  Let players choose their hull and turret, but all Mk1 (or Mk8 since everyone is equal), no ODs, no MUs, no drones, no alts (or even the choice of any alt), no supplies other than drops (maybe access to players own supplies...maybe), on any MM map.  This would bring back the element of strategy that is so blatantly missing in this feeble Neo-Tanki we now have and kill off the kiddie luck factor.  A Parity DM mode would be OK, but a Parity team mode would be brilliant.  It might even bring back team work!

I like your idea but it is just wishful thinking. It would make micro upgrades and many other things irrelevant. 

This new mode is only available because hopper is currently an early-access only hull. The new mode is probably made to allow all players to test the new hull in a fair setting so that they will like it and feel inclined to buy it.

Your idea will not work with already existing equipment because players have invested in upgrading them. Would you like it if you spent hundreds of thousands of crystals on buying a better combo when another player gets the same level of equipment as you but has lower-GS garage?

Yep, this is not gonna happen. Perhaps it will appear in ours dream, if some of us really like (addicted) Tanki this much.

Every week or two Tanki should do a Special DM mode with a specific hull and turret like this.

Next XP (Hornet/Railgun) please!

Or at least Ares/Isida.

I hope to get Hopper from ultra containers.

[alkyng 3,080]

Its interesting and funny, I spent a lot of time playing this map, but can't even complete 5000 score mission, what even about 20K

btw, this map was about to be 100% free to play,, but the problem Repair kit and DA and SB affect a lot

btw, this map isn't necessarily defines your skills in Tanki because its F2P, No, because its a new game mode that isn't what Tanki is,

 

I spoke a lot true?

[TWICE 798]

@ALEX22THEBEST @Aegis 

I got 125 SB from an ultra container too.

Good luck with that. The chance of getting a random Exotic rarity reward is around 0.4%.

Yes....yes i would if my idea was implemented in only one mode....not normal Matchmaking TDM,CP, ASL,RGB, TJG, Seige, but one entirely different mode probably like TDM but TDM with parity.  Players would still play most battles and complete missions as they do now...they'd have all their unique garage with exactly what they bought and upgraded to, but there would be one mode where EVERYONE got Mk8 equipment (or Mk1).  The only choice a player could make in this Parity mode would be which hull and turret. A Legend9000 would have the exact same equipment choice as a Rank11 player (some time should elapse before the Parity mode unlocks...might be a good way to get players ranking up faster...make it unlock at Rank20 maybe).  The Legend could still use all their accumulated doo-dads and MUs in all other modes just like they do today, but the one extra new mode (Parity) they could not.  In just this one mode Rank11 and Legend9000 would have exactly the same choice of equipment.  All other six modes would be exactly the same as they are today...Parity would be an additional seventh mode to the already normal six modes.

I got the container glitch today (stuff from cont gets added to account, but you don't see what you got coz the screen freezes while the cont is opening).

Fortunately I found out that I got 5 goldboxes from the normal container, and Cold Immunity for Dictator from the UT cont I got from the 5000 battle points mission... (lucky!)

I had to manually check all augments, shot effects and supplies tho... 

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

I have completed all my 3 mission in one go.

All done.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Raccoon paint is what I got in the batch of 5 ultra containers.

Now for the last ultra container.

That really sucks. I did not get the new Hopper hull. Please add Hopper available to purchase for crystals in the garage just like all other hulls.

This is a prime example why Tankionline is declining. I have checked the streaming stats and I have noticed a great decline of active players over the last 3 years.

Tanki Management release a new hull called Hopper, making it difficult to obtain, unless you have €129.99. If not, Tanki Management look to burn out players suggesting they should complete Special Missions in order to get Hopper through Ultra-Containers. There is no guarantee Hopper will be in Ultra-Containers from the Special Missions. By the way, if you are Russian, the Hopper package is roughly €40. 

So Tanki Management has put together a competition exclusive for wealthy buyers. Not buyers, as we have a new category now. 

I was addicted to this game, paying for a premium account and unlocking Gold Tier in Challenges, but now I feel Tanki Management have gone too far upsetting players. I like reading the comments in the Vlogs and Forum, where I see points raised by very upset players. I am now one of them. Whatever you say it falls to deaf ears, which just gets only looked at by the moderators who are interested in pouncing swearers and bullies, rather than escalating constructive criticism.

I have ended my Premium account, no longer interested in unlocking Gold Tier of Challenges. My love for the game is gone and therefore reduced my time I play in the game. On an added note I have noticed players completing Special Missions, opening their Ultra-Containers. They shown how disappointed they are, where no Hopper is included in the rewards. Think about it Tanki Management, how these players feel, where they have sacrificed their time and energy into the game. You know long term playing this game affects players health. Seriously Tanki Management you are a disgrace!!!
