declined New feature: Stars Shop.

[PirateSpider 1,491]

So after we finish the full challenge, there's the question of what to do with the unused stars. And I'm thinking of using them as currency for a shop specifically to fulfill that purpose.

So here's the following things that could be in there and how much stars they would cost:

 

Gift container that contains gifts like we had on flash - 500 stars.

Shot effect of your choice - 5,000 stars.

Animated paint of your choice - 10,000 stars.

Skin container - 20,000 stars.

Skin of your choice - 80,000 stars.

 

Optional:

Conversion of stars to crystals and vice versa.

Mysterious red and violeNt shot effects for 9000 stars.

Hyperion and crisis drone for 50,000 stars (Note: you can buy and use Hyperion before reaching legend rank if you buy it from here).

Amarillo module for 65,000 stars.

Status Effect turret augments for 45,000 stars.

Regular turret augments for 30,000 stars.

Under Review

Declined

Firstly, I believe that I already said this before, if stars were meant to be useful after completing the challenge, you wouldn't get them easily.

Secondly, I do not think I understand your idea. So I've completed my challenge and I have 5000 stars in total. So you say that I can use these stars including the ones that I earned for challenge and the extra stars, or only the extra stars that is 5000-3000=2000?

Ideas regarding increase of rewards are declined.

This.

This.

So you really believe that it is possible to earn 23000 stars in reality? Even for a Shot effect, you'll have to earn 8000 stars. Do you think it is possible? What's the point in implementing something which is practically impossible?

Maybe I should have been more clear but the stars would add up. For example if challenge 1 you get 400 extra stars and challenge 2 you get 600 extra stars, well now you would have a total of 1000 stars that can be used in the shop.

But next month you have 0 "Challenge Stars" and 1000 "Shop Stars". This would cause more confusion than help.

[The_Resistance 135]

Isn't this a teased Contracts' thing?

[Benefactor 6,889]

Or an X amount of (excess/leftover) stars can equal a Y amount of shards to gain containers. I will let the devs do the math on this one.

1000 "Shop Stars".

This will only be displayed in the stars shop.

[yellowghetto 3,206]

What’s so hard to understand about this idea?

I end of the Challenge with 4210 stars. I have 1210 Stars saved as the new Bonus Star Currency. I decide to not use the extra Stars.

I finish another Challenge and end with 4300 stars. I get 1300 Bonus Stars, and now I have 2510 Bonus Stars.

As mentioned in this Idea. A Skin costs 20000 Bonus Stars.

I would have to periodically beat a lot of Challenge and save up my Bonus Stars to eventually reach that goal.

I guess an easier way to put it, is that your excess Stars earned from the normal 3000 from Challenges will be CONVERTED to the new Currency.

Personally, I think it’s a good Quality of Life change, which would persuade me to do more Missions than take a 3-4 day break after I achieved the 3000 Stars for my Battle Pass. It would take a long time to save 20000 Bonus Stars, but the prize would be so worth it. I like this idea. Upvoted.

Yeah, I don't know either. Its like they question the obvious.

This idea sounds very, very nice!

As mentioned multiple times above by others, the Stars we get from Challenges WILL reset to 0 Stars when the next Challenge starts.

However, the Exclusive Stars Shop will have every EXTRA Stars we saved (after 3000 Stars) to be used to buy big and small quick and rare items. This allows players to play more Tanki Online and be able to make the most from each Challenge! 

 

Developers can make the prices high so it's not too easy to buy from the Shop, but with time, we can.

20,000 stars for a Skin (AND of our Choice) might not be that much to buy with. Developers could make it 50,000 because it is an Exotic item after all. It should be hard to get, but still possible if we play a lot! (Like earning 5000 Tankoins for the 4th Protection Module!)

If we say 50,000 stars to collect, then Developers might consider doing this because it's balanced between F2P players and P2W players who play a lot.

 

I think this idea should be considered because it will be hard for players to do, but not impossible. Not many people finish the Challenge. People who do still need to play enough to get extra Stars because the Missions give us up to 3000 Stars. We get more from battling, Special Missions, etc. Whoever is committed to playing can get a chance to improve more than other F2P players.

In other words, from the above paragraph, this is not too bad for the economy because not many players are buying too much from the Shop. We're simply using our extra Stars that we got, to good use!

It can be a nice addition along with the Shards Update!

Please consider, other Helpers and Developers! Thanks! Once again, nice idea PirateSpider!

Yeah I originally was thinking of making the 20k stars price allowing you to get a skin container and maybe 80k stars lets you buy a skin of your choosing.

I also was thinking of adding a gift container that contained gifts we had on flash for 500 stars.

[artc 1,119]

no1 has 5k starks left over after challenges. 20k!? are u stup?

[yellowghetto 3,206]

It’s extra and optional. If you can’t do it, it’s on you, and it also doesn’t affect you.

[numericable 2,375]

Very nice idea! Many time in the past i used to get 5k stars when the battle pass only asked us to do 1k (one year ago) then i felt bad for these 4k extra stars earned going to waste. Also, it should increase the active players online and so on, reduce the MM waiting time queue. I know that if this would be implemented, i would play longer each days than only daily missions. They could add some rare skins for 50k-80k stars and normal containers skins for 20k stars just like he said.

They do accumulate over the challenges, i personnally get EACH times 4500 stars in the end of the challenge when i only play 2-3 battles per days just to complete daily missions and play a bit more during special week end missions.

No artc. We discussed above that:

• You know how we get extra Stars every Challenge, right? (over 3000+)
• The EXTRA stars that we get are automatically sent into the "Stars Shop".
  • We can still see how many total Stars we have for the current Challenge, but the extra ones are collected in the special, exclusive Stars Shop.
• It makes sense that no one can get 5,000 Stars after Challenges unless they play non-stop.
  • But the Star Shop collects and saves ALL our extra stars from the Challenges.
• So we can soon save up enough extra stars to use in the Star Shop.
• PirateSpider has given some nice things we can buy. They are good rewards and for a high, but fair prices for everyone!

Not good, generous behavior dude.

artc did not read the details from what other players said. He just saw the big prices that we have to pay with stars, and thought it was weird how you made these numbers up.

But artc can understand more of this idea with my info. above.

Sorry. I just don't like it when people rub me the wrong way for no reason. If you want to hide the post, you're welcome to, but I won't.

I was also considering adding UC drones and augments, but maybe its best if that doesn't happen.

You should, so Helpers, Players, and Developers can get the different ideas, or what items to include in Star Shops.

Just make the Star Prices in balance with the rarity.

(Skin Containers are 20k and SC of our choice is 80k. Since UC Drones and Augments are a little rarer than Skin Containers, they should be higher than 20k stars for now, but less than 80k. We can get Skin Containers from Challenges, but not the UC Drones and Augments of our choice, that much. So this makes them more rare.)

I added an optional list in the post. If many would like the items from the optional list then maybe it can be part of the main list.

[Lucrative 11]

Great Idea but i believe this would discourage buyers from buying stuff if it would be available just like that which the devs...
