I only wrote that I will pass. I did not tell anybody else what to do or how to play. I am a casual player and I will not succeed in completing these missions, so at least I hoped for some incentive for me to play more than regularly. That's all.

Don't make me a selfish guy. Although I wrote double XP, I also wrote double funds, special map, discounts and increase rates of gold box drops.

Hey OK, fair enough.
I just really hate the double XP events because it is sometimes better not to play than to play because of how much damage double XP does to low ranked accounts, you rank up so fast and your hard earned equipment very quickly becomes useless. I really get triggered when I see players actually asking for double XP lol, when so many of us know what a bad change it was when they started doing such events, when that is combined with the huge experience increase change they brought about just after summer.

I really hope that they will completely STOP doing increased XP events, even if that means less increased crystals too - because it is literally an incentive for low ranked players to play the game less, if they actually understand about how the game economy works.

Indeed, it would be nice to see increased crystals etc, but we have just had a very generous Christmas/NY event which lasted for quite a long time, which also had numerous gold drop events. If we have gold drops and increased crystals constantly, it would lessen the value of such events and make them much less special. I think it is better to have a break from them at least for a while - there will probably be a crazy weekend at the end of January and more gold drop/increased crystals mid-February with Valentine's day events.

You are right that these missions are much too difficult for the casual player. It would be nice if they had one or two easy missions that casual players could complete, personally I have not bothered at all to attempt any of these missions as they are not worth it for me - neither Firebird/Freeze/Hornet or Viking are well upgraded in my case and the rewards are too difficult to get and not worth it to be worth using lower modification gear.

Bought 6 tkoins for 150 tkoins GGs.

Have wasted 150 tkoins several times. If I've saved up i could have bought 3 BP.

There is definitely no point at all in buying coinboxes instead of battle passes, if you are a free player earning Tankoins regularly. On average it seems you will lose Tankoins from 30 coinboxes, for 450 TKs, whereas a 500TK battle pass will give you much greater rewards - and rewards you can actually choose somewhat since you can wait for augments you actually want. You could maybe try your luck on coinboxes once in a while but in general, certainly a waste of Tankoins.

Also gave buying a few coinboxes with Tankoins from weekly missions a try just to see - but rewards were pretty bad so yes, won't be doing that again!

 

Why would you want to play battles less than before because of this event? It is much easier to get kills than normal - first of all players are using less upgraded equipment as they are forced to use Fire/Freeze/Viking/Hornet if they want to complete the missions, so average Gearscore is lower. Secondly, Fire/Freeze and Hornet are not exactly strong - Firebird is forced to use Incendiary Mix at Legend otherwise it is now useless ever since quite a few players got Heat Immunity, Freeze is a mid-tier turret at best and Hornet is now a bottom-tier hull.

And to clarify - while I am not a Legend player I am only 3 ranks off, and ever since they increased the rank spread in mid-December I am playing with and against Legends almost every game. So my gameplay experience is pretty much the same as yours.

I only face 9999 GS noobs with skill less AP augment and I'm a Pro player. I don't want noobs to rage quit battles because of me so I quit myself.

I completed every Special Mission except for the Freeze one. I can't be bothered to get 800 kills in under 2 days (that's not enough time for me) and my Freeze is only Mk4.

Hmm once concluded mission you have more days available to redeem *premium days rewards* right ? Cause i have little trouble with my pc and guess can be ko some days , so would be a waste to redeem premium days right away before event ends .
That said , the freeze one without a mk7 and drone looks fairly and annoying long to do  for new players  ( i did using  the little upped  drone i never use  to add a 20% of attack as i had spare batteries and is mk7 , otherwise i would have not bothered )  .

Correct, you have more days available to redeem your rewards.

And I failed the last one that was missing for me using Fire, the "Warm Welcome", by just 8 kills...

Only 8 kills to 5 minutes from the ending time of 02:00!!!

What about this?

On the last minutes before 02:00, the game becomes bugging and we can not kill or do anything right! That's very annoying and frustrating

 

In the last hour there were missing about 100 kills! So I did all my best to the last minute...

 

I should have received at least 4 of the 6 ultra-containers as I did complete 3/4 of the Supermission «Battle-Scared Warrior»... 

This all or nothing prizing system is very bad for the great effort done trying to achieve it!

Ah that sucks my friend, very unfortunate :(

If there was indeed some server instability at the end, send an e-mail to Tanki Tech support and perhaps you could receive compensation - probably unlikely but worth a try. 

Their e-mail: help@tankionline.com

Good luck!

I agree that it would be better if we had less of an all-or-nothing mission system so you do get some reward if you manage to finish some of the missions - perhaps you could automatically receive a percentage of the final reward if you have completed say 3/4 tasks for the final supermission by the end of the event. This would be fairer for those that just miss out like yourself.

Congratulations to everyone who has completed all the special missions tied to this challenge. I completed all the missions as well.
