Are Weekly Challenges Obsolete?

[die3458 53]

I would love for some of you to comment on this

 

With the recent shardes update, we now can get 2 containers a day.

weekly challenges give one container, plus those useless weekly containers.

after grinding, you would get 3 containers.

just by daily login, you can get 7 containers a week.

I think wkly container should be buffed. It isn't worth the hassle anymore.

maybe, you guys should triple the loot that is obtainable from the weekly challenge.

all of the above is from F2P perspective, so dont argue with me over that stuff.

anyways, tell me your opinions.

NO! I LOVE WEEKLY MISSIONS! The more the merrier. Weekly Containers are super useful because you know you are guaranteed some prizes, not to mention the amount of stars you get from them!

It's a good thing for everyone. This topic seems to be just for you. No idea why you don't appreciate them.

Weekly missions reward you with a substantial number of stars, so I would not say they are obsolete. Weekly containers also offer a steady supply of crystals and supplies, making them quite useful for lower ranked players.

[SporkZilla 1,775]

Weekly missions are still worth doing because of the stars, you can't ignore them if you want to complete challenges

But if you do two missions a day for two containers (including the login one), then you'll only need to do one extra on one day every week to do 15 missions

But even challenges are only worth completing now for the Tankoins > save them up to get a battle pass > skin container + extra rewards (including containers)

The weekly mission for one container + one weekly container isn't worth grinding for any more

Weekly containers aren't useless, especially when you save them up to open at higher ranks; I've got 400 of them, and they are worth over 900K crystals (and 6000+ RKs, 18000+ DA/DD/SB/Mines, and 3000+ Batteries) at my current rank

No, they are not obsolete. Good rewards if you save them, and they're useful in lower ranks.

weekly mission is only way you get tankicoin, which is only way to get battle pass for free player

You mean weekly missions?

Of course it's worth it.  Guaranteed supplies and crystals and... TKs.

You also get 100 TKs from silver level of the monthly Challenges.  But the weekly containers certainly supplement that.

[Iron_Man 2,376]

Mate, I still do not understand why you do not appreciate weekly containers. They are balanced and give you everything you need to play the game peacefully. Your rank is Captain. So you get 1750crystals+12RK+35 of each supply+8 batteries from one single container. So from 6 you get 10500 crystals, 72RK, 48 batteries and 210 of each supply. I say that is a good number of crystals and other stuff. See, just because you are getting free containers, DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU WILL GET WHAT YOU NEED FROM THOSE CONTAINERS. Usually, I prefer to get crystals instead of skins but I cannot predict what I am going to get (Well, I never got any exotic item till date). In contrast weekly containers give you the stuff you need to play the game. In my opinion 210 of each supplies is more than enough for me to play one whole week like a pro. Talking about tankoins, I would rather say that just completing daily missions for 2 and half months at a stretch will give you enough to buy a battle pass.  At both lower and higher ranks weekly container give sufficient supplies and crystals you need to play at that rank.

[die3458 53]

all right, I got plenty of people pointing fingers at me.

the first argument that you guys presented is the stars. that isn't my focus here. I am talking about the containers.

the other argument is about wkly container contents. they do not give much supplies. and, what is the point of saving up the containers? the crystal amount is also abysmal, compared to the current economy. 90K for a defender, and then only god knows how much crystals to get it to the point when it actually makes a difference. sure it is guaranteed, and that is what limits how useful it can get.

[die3458 53]

oh yeah, and the tonkoins. did you guys even check how much product kits cost? 18 tonkoins a week wont get anywhere.

[die3458 53]

and don't say battle pass, then youll be missing the point

[alkyng 3,080]

With a continuously playing you can get 2.7 containers per day or 19 containers now per week

And for sure weekly containers aren't bad and maybe some players prefer them over Container, It give you the supplies that makes you up to fight all of the week. In Legend you get 120 RK and 360 of rest of supplies, and 18 tankoins.

I'm not pointing figures at anyone, and I what I wrote was me partly thinking out loud as to how I'm much I'm going to play now that I can get 7 containers a week for doing nothing

Although I'll get over one million crystals when I open all of my Weekly Containers at Marshall (when I can buy Mk7 everything), I'm also wondering how long it would take a new player to get one million crystals from at least 7 containers a week, more if they actually play, and a lot more if they watch adverts on the mobile version (I can't get that where I live)

If a player doesn't want to save up Tankoins by getting Weekly Containers and completing challenges > get a Battle Pass > extra rewards / Skin Container, then the weekly challenges aren't important any more because they'll get plenty of Containers from logging in and doing one or two missions every day

(I opened 52 Containers last month from weekly missions, four accounts. I've opened 32 Shard Containers during the last five days. Anyone starting an account now isn't going to have to be careful with their crystals)

You mean careful with their mines.

Perhaps, but I got 39000 crystals from those containers and 450 mines

I don't always get mines

You don't get to cherry-pick what counts.

Stars given in weekly missions helps complete the monthly challenges which gives you crystals+supplies+100 TKs.  Those 100 TKs x4 Challenges will help get you a Battle Pass FOR FREE and a LOT more crystals and containers and augments and a skin.  Those augments would cost you a mint - IF you could even buy them.

Weekly missions also give you 6 weekly containers which over a month or accumulate a significant amount of crystals and supplies which includes batteries.  These batteries enable you to use Drones.  Weekly missions also give you 3 regular containers.

Open 15 containers and you might be able to pay for that 90k Defender drone.

[Tanker-Arthur 2,971]

Weekly containers aren't obsolete at all. 

They are a guaranteed reward of Batteries and Tankcoins, two resources that free to play players need the most.

Also, I did the math, and the 6 weekly containers you recieve today are equal to 6 times the rewards you get from completing a weekly mission chain back in 2018.


So no, I do not want weekly containers to be buffed. The primary reason is because I fear if the weekly containers are buffed too much, stuff like challenges, daily mission rewards, and even the shards themselves would be nerfed. And for me at least, most of my joy in this game comes from opening a regular container (as well as dominating battles), because it has an element of surprise to it. Weekly containers are great, but they're boring to open. 
I originally left Tanki in 2019 because the regular container rewards were heavily nerfed due to stuff like super grindy challenges. I do not want such a thing to happen again.

Couldn't have said it better myself :,)

[Atomic_Tanker 249]

@die3458 actually weekly containers are not all that bad, it need not be buffed i think, as you can save weekly containers from low ranks(eg. recruit) bcos the rewards at that ranks are worthless and open it at much higher ranks(ex. Generalissimo and Legend- this way you get loads of supplies including batteries which are overpriced(200 crys for 1 min lol). I saved 1000+ batteries by opening conts at higher ranks and these will be very useful when I decide to start upgrading drones and use them tho....Also 17k crys/week (6 conts) and hundreds of supplies is very good actually, especially for f2ps
