wut happened to the tank economy

[die3458 53]

ok so I am a pretty new player... I started in early 2017.... got bored... quit for a year and a half, just recently came back to the game...

anyways gotta get to the point

has the crystal value inflated greatly?

back then a mammoth mk1 would cost me 1.8k crystals and I took me 2 days.

i just gotta scoff at 1.8k crystals as if i tryhard against the poor n00Bs in the current mm battles (yes mm is broken), i could, with little luck, get that amount in two battles...

back then i want a amazing player... but even if i havent improved, back then i could only get 50-150 crystals a game...

lol

yeah so someone send me links to a patch note or sth pls

Yes. We have inflated in the amounts of Crystals to spend, but also, we have improved in ways of getting Crystals way faster, easier, and in different ways.

 

As you pointed out above, a Mammoth cost you only 1.8k Crystals to get to Mk1. The costs are more now, but you can get these Crystals by:

• playing regular MM battles
• opening Containers (Daily, Weekly, Challenge, and also Special)
• doing Contests that offer them
• buying them if you want
• catch Gold Boxes

 

The above ways, plus other ways, can get you so many Crystals to upgrade your items.

The reason why developers came to these prices is to keep everything balanced, and allow ways for everyone to benefit, improving the game economy.

Yes it has inflated but unofficially. In the past you hardly can get more than 100K crystals, but now with the Containers and Weekly missions and Challenges and Special missions and Ultra weekends and also more funds from battles.. Yes you can easily get more than 300K crystals. I remember in 2015 I hardly collected more than 150K crystals to buy Firewall kit, but now even in a lower ranks with this account I collected more than 300K. 

And the supplies now are a lot for everyone, in the past 200+ of supplies easily considered as a high amount of supplies and maybe some players will insult you (Druggers). Now 200+ supplies are such a little number of supplies and maybe other players will pity you

But for sure now the prices of turrets/hulls upgrades have become higher, and we have now the expensive Augments and the horrible Drones that drink your supplies

So yes the game economy have been inflated but indirectly and unofficially.

By the way to back in the past, one direct official inflation happened in 2013 that have multiplied everything in the game by x10. So crystals and battle funds and GoldBoxes and Garage prices everything literally multiplied by x10. So if you saw someone in an old video have 15,000 crystals don't think him a poor but in opposite he was a wealthy one.

I remember when 500 crystals was a pretty high ammount

Crystal earnings and experience gains are 2x and 4x what they were prior to summer 2020, respectively. In addition, crystals earned in battles are now heavily supplemented by crystals from challenges, containers, and missions.

Some things are more expensive though, such as protection modules.

Also upgrading a drone to 20/20 takes a lot...

Ya mate. Last time I played  tanki regularly was way back in 2015or 2016. And I used to play 10+ hours every single day and the best I got was 10 to 20k crystals per day and 10 to 30k exp. But now I just play less than 1 hour to complete the missions and Haven't even played for 1 full month and I have 1.1million crystals and probably got 500k exp. Mostly the massive increase is because of the containers I open and the daily missions I complete. Whatever I make from battle is insignificant compared to these new streams of income which was not the case back in those days.
