declined Current challenge

[tankiexpert1 105]

I'm not sure if completing all daily and weekly missions will get you 4000 stars to complete the newer challenge.  That was only for previous challenges, 3000 stars.  To balance it out for the new challenges, maybe we could add a few more stars to daily and weekly missions so that regardless, if you do all the missions, you automatically complete the challenge.  Please take this proposal as a suggestion to make this newer challenge similar to old ones.

The challenge is harder to complete because now you can obtain more Tankoins as well as expensive and unique augments. Due to this fact, the developers decided that completing daily & weekly challenge only is not enough, you also have to put more time into the game to earn the extra stars. Apart from that, ideas regarding increase of any rewards/bonuses are not accepted.

This basically means the developers changed their opinion when they made the challenges completable through the daily/weekly missions with a full of bothering of repeating in every challenge about their generous way when they made us completing them through the missions.

HOW???

On the free track, all the tankcoins are compressed onto Tier 50.

And you need 4000 stars to get to tier 50.

So I don't know how people who have less than 1,500 tankcoins can manage to increase their tankcoin earnings, besides getting a maximum of 18 measly tankcoins per week from weekly containers.

 

We only have 15 days to get 4000 stars.

Funfact: Most players could barely get 3000 stars back when the challenge only needed 3000 stars to complete. Yes, it was 100% possible to finish the challenge before  it ended, but you really only had a one-day grace period to take a break from doing daily/weekly missions. And if you missed more than 1 day, you'd have to grind hard, considering each battle only gives a small amount of a maximum of 3 stars and it takes 10 minutes to finish each battle (7 minutes per battle + 3 minutes for garage preparations and loading each screen).

Special Missions somewhat helped the issue, but many of them required extreme amounts of grinding anyway.

I was talking about the gold tier, I thought it's pretty obvious when I said "you can earn more tankoins"

unique augments

I'm pretty sure the only truly 'unique' one is hyperspace rounds for railgun. 

||Which if you think about it, is a pretty creative idea, because it took what the turret already did (shooting through multiple tanks) and made this ability more powerful, rather than adding a status effect that 2-3 other turrets or hulls already apply. ||

if they give buyers better rewards again

Well if someone is doing a lot of 'buying' there's a decent chance they already have some of the premium alterations like EMP gauss, so I don't think it would make much of a difference for them.

Does 39-116 hours of extra time sound about right to you? 39 hours meaning you got 1st place in the winning team 334 times, and 116 hours meaning you earned 1 star on whatever team 1000 times.

Think about that for a second, think about 39-116 hours and put it into a 2 week perspective. People have school, work, some need to leave the computer to go eat, some need to go to the store, humans also need to sleep daily.

Spend more time into the game? More like lose valuable time to do something else more important in the real world.

The devs made the challenge harder AND they made the battle pass triple the price.

But F2P players will still get the same rewards, just with a 1000 star increase.

But even buyers will realistically have to buy stars through the shop now if they want to feasibly complete the challenge.

Yes, the Gold Tier now have 4 tiers that award 100 tankcoins each.

But how do we unlock the gold track? By paying 1,500 tankcoins.

Where do we get the 1,500 tankcoins? From the free track.

 

And unless one of the following things happen:

• Challenge duration is increased to more than 15 days
• Missions give more stars

It's virtually impossible for non-grinders to earn enough stars to get the 100 tankcoins to contribute to paying for the battle pass.

I didn't talk about whether it's right or not. I simply mentioned the reason the developers decided to increase the amount of stars needed to complete the challenge.

Well, I don't think it's really fair for F2P players too, but I just mentioned the reason for the increase in the amount of stars needed.

Sure, it's against the Forum rules to approve of ideas that result in increasing/decreasing rewards and such.

But, you can at least let the Devs know that this current challenge system is not working out, instead of declining every topic about fixing it.

And, the Devs probably already know it's a problem, because I know they access the Forums every once and a while, but it would still be nice if you checked in with them about it.

The developers collect feedback from News topics, so they are definitely aware of the fact that most of the players dislike this update.
