Bottom Line: You'll need over a year of playing hard and doing your missions in order to obtain your fourth protection slot.**

While grinding for the 27th straight week...

 

You have died of exhaustion, I mean, dysentery.

@At_Shin yes there is. USE THE DARK SIDE OF THE FORCE. 

[Iron_Man 2,376]

There are 52 weeks in an year.

So 6 weekly containers per week, we get 312 weekly containers from which we get 936 tankoins.

We have 24 challenges a year, from which we get 2400 tankoins.

So we get 3336 tankoins in one year.

Hence it will take an year and half for a non buyer to get enough tankoins to buy the 4^th slot.

I wonder if sales will affect its price, I guess we will have to wait and see.

I wouldn't.

In my opinion, the developers should've waited at least 5 more years, or until we get 20 turrets in the game.

Then, that is when they give us the fourth module slot......
For Free

Plus, we can have hundreds of turrets in the game, yet there can be a maximum of 6 turrets in a team in 6v6, so i think the 4th, FREE module slot should be aviabble to 10v10+ battles. Aka when you equip a prot there, it will be only activated when playing on large maps.

Oh, in addition, this is like when you buy a turret, okay you have it but you need to buy the equip button in addition. Not nice.

No-one will ever know, because from now on no-one will ever create a new account  Genuinely new players will also ragequit upon finding out that modules used to be free, before earning enough Tankoins to get the first module.

Hull augments cost 5k TK as well, and you don't have to buy a 4th module slot for every hull. So I don't really see what the issue is. Sure it's P2W but as far as P2W mechanics go the price is standard.

No. 

 

There are other ways to get hull augments. You can get them in containers. 500 tankoins can get you 2 in a challenge. So they are worth 250 tankoins. Random draw sure. I think I am down to needing 34 hull augments. 

 

It is not the biggest of deals in some ways, but I think you are being a little bit lax. If you were to compare it that way, you could say they could have charge 7500 tankoins. What's the difference. 

 

But honestly, ... isn't everyone unable to do this... or am only I locked out of the shop for the last 5 months?

 

I think I've adjusted. I recently opened 10 days of premium after 4 months without... feels like it actaully means something to have it again :D 

[Thankxtu 286]

I dont get why the 4th module slot can only be bought for tankoins . That makes it possible only for buyers and that too heavy buying . This makes it unfair for f2p players. The p2w people already hve all 50 % prot modules and with that extra module slot I dont know whats the point of this new update? Make tanki life more harder for f2p people? I suggest this 4th slot be bought for crystals and that too a reasonable amount say 300k or 400k . Much more reasonable than a whooping 5k tankoins. And also stop making these rash decisions that will make people quit tanki .

Well thanks, however the devs don't really deserve you guys.

I don't really care overly, I just think that the fact that they are now selling what was previously free for years (2nd and 3rd protection slots), for such a fundamental thing is protection modules for Tankoins - and quite a significant number of Tankoins - for new players is truly absurb.

But equally absurd is the 5k TK price for the fourth slot. This really signals a big shift in the direction of Tanki, it is basically a flat out admission the game is now pay-to-win, with non-buyers priced out of a very fundamental upgrade to one of the core features of the game. It basically signals to non-buyers, that you might well be foolish to continue spending your time playing, with such ever increasing disadvantages on even the most basic of levels. Players will vote with their feet on this one, and other similar updates that are no doubt to come.

[Picassoo 191]

Protection module slots are really too basic a feature to be available solely for tankoins

[Ethiaa 135]

I'm about as likely to spend 5k TK on this as I am to spend 250 euros on one of their bundles. Absolutely no chance. Hilarious.

Someone needs to point out to whoever prices these things that the way to make money in online gaming is to have things that cost very small amounts of money so that more people feel able to spend a relatively small amount but end up doing so more times than they thought they would rather than trying to sell things to a very small number of people who are willing to spend a lot.

Well, I do agree that the price is too high. Hopefully discounts will apply on it.

It has nothing to do with the CM. Decisions like this are made by the developers only, the CM passes information from the developers to us and also forwards our feedback to the developers.

On another note, you have no idea how much effort Marcus puts into this community..

Still p2w . If ur an f2p player and u do not open any coin boxes and say u had 0 tk thats about 25 months of grinding and if discount is applied still an year to buy it . And i for one would not invest in such a frivolous thing. then again if they increased the 100 tk to 500tk in battle pass it will be so much more helpful and maybe make the battle pass for 1k tk. (I didnt count the weekly cont tks but u get the idea)

As I said before, this is just plain disgusting. 1k was already too much, 5k is a robbery. 

 

This game is not worth playing anymore, after 10 years of service I believe the time has come for me to pull the plug.

Spoiler

The worst thing is, I could have kept playing this game for many years without all those disastrous choices made by the company.

I'd just like to ask the Devs, who's idea was it to price the 4th module slot at 5k tankcoins? 5 thousand tankcoins, are you serious? So, you either expect players to spend well over 50 dollars to get every slot, or, have us spend 36 months playing Tanki daily just so that we can obtain the full 4 slots for modules. Oh, and if you'd like to buy the module on sale for 50% off, that would be 25 dollars or 18 months of playing daily. I don't even know what the prices for the 3rd module is because you guys don't announce this kind of stuff anymore.

There are so many problems with the max price being 5k, for one, modules themselves are super expensive, two, people now have to choose whether to spend their Tankcoins on the Battle Pass so that they could get a good Augment, or wait many months to get an extra protection module. The prices were not well thought out here, and I would definitely suggest it being decreased. In the test servers, it was 1k tankcoins, what happened to that price? I would accept that.

These prices better get changed asap.

Prices cheaper lol, they won't.

Admin have shown, yet again, their callous, greedy nature when it comes to adding ANYTHING worthwhile into the game. 

Just stop playing, it's as simple as that. If you carry on with this overpriced rip off then seriously, expect more of the same.

Feels like they are going to close down the game by setting up such barriers for new players.

Hope so.

IF they still have enough players to run the game by then. 

Hope not.

Well they do need money so i wouldn't mind if it was 1700 at least to 2500. But 5k too much

Your in a minority on that one.

I expect another player drop from this. When the critical damage update was released, 2k players left the game.

Shame it wasn't 10k

Hello!

This is not something done by the admins at the first place. This decision is taken by the Developers not the Administrators. No, I do not like the 4th module slot. Well at the price it is placed at.

Then by all means, please tell us in detail, just how much effort does he put in.

And on a similar side note:- is it not true that his account has been handed to him on the preverbial silver platter? So lot's of detail if you don't mind.

You can take the recruitment site for example, he made it himself. He also created the TankiSports site and the eSports Checker tool which catches players who attempt to use hacks in eSports. Keep in mind that he didn't have to do it, but he did it anyways because he wanted to make the players happy. He also does other things which cannot be discussed here.

Unlike other CMs, Marcus played this game long before he became the CM, so he earned most of the content in his account as a normal player / helper.

Good enough, but it should not have a PRICE TAG at all. Not that i'm bothered in the slightest, i don't play my account now. But i have sympathy for those poor saps who are hooked on tanki, and therefore have no way out of this sky high P2W rip off.

The developers have zero scruples when it comes to the players. They also have no shame when attaching a price to anything they develop for the game.

Nice comeback, crisis, hopper, to name but 2 items in his garage, did he get them like a normal player. And you really did not answer my question, not really.
