on second thought ( as i always see stuff i have 90% , like the skin xt  and i miss the ap striker but i'll pass since this star system is unsure stuff)  we are lucky to have that tons of stuff  already . We did play more than what we should have clearly    . If only they did not change for the worst over and over  all stuff around
( like the horrible useless battle--tab and lag added with 0 damage i 'm facing it over and over since then )   i could not complain . 

Correct me if im wrong but you mean challenge is good because you don't need to get out of your way to complete it you can just do your missions and be done with it also we are lucky to have a ton of augments and another non-sense.

1. I'm absolutely okay with the fact that you don't need to earn extra stars to complete challenges but now the challenges are made in mind that everyone could beat it by playing the game for 20 mins every day. My idea is "grinders" tier on a challenge that requires you to GRIND for stars (don't even talk about joke accepted i mean challenge accepted event) that would have prizes with you grinding a lot or buying stars/premium in mind. So the stuff would be like a skin container or some another item that would guarantee you'll get something new as long as you don't own 100% of the stuff in the game. We already saw that last year with SE Freeze. A skin (very valuable in the eyes of devs) was given out for 5000 stars. Even though im not a fan of that skin i loved grinding for these prizes. 

TL;DR New challenge tier for buyers giving them new stuff guaranteed. Win for devs. Win for players.

2. I don't know if we're lucky to have a lot of augments... I just feel like i would enjoy the game more without augments (unless they're on the level of garage augments back in the day) and EMP/AP etc. effects being locked behind ODs etc. i feel like 90%+ of the players would agree here.

look ( more simply) i'm with you with your feeling and so on ,  all the stuff included is a mess and whaterver we /you /others complained about .. i would prefer something relying on skill ,  moving turret and hull and so on ( plenty of people who can rule without to move turret is unsatisfafying ) . But the game  moved  opposite way despite  we wrote / ask . What you write is what you would want which is your **veteran** point of you , and from devs perspective is nothing cause they aim at new numbers (mini transactions multiplied)  or rich collectors , which deny most of your "fulfillment desires"  . That's why i understand you well  but at same time i know is futile to believe it will go that way.
_______
My point of interest is slightly different , cause i would simply like more enjoying battles as  i'm veteran too and all have  all sort of"uber stuff" , but  i do not like it , had to "give up " to rely on skillful way to play when  finish mission to get as much resource ( drugs ) as possible  so relying on uber stuff to finish quickly ( i hate it  mandatory to have so i'm lucky to have it though that was the meaning) .I would not grind like you if it would take too many hours from my life  , would feel like a "prisoner "of this game ( exagerated to let you get quick ) .
AUGMENTS AWAY 1000% Though  , but then 80% of the pleyers would leave right away cause they will not be able to do a fu*k  .
I mean battles suck now, lousy players that leave right away cayse they suck , and all battles are" one sided.". ,lag induced by new changes  , weird physics AND STUFF I DO NOT GET IT WHAT'S HAPPENING ( cannot move a wasp with a timely shot but my heavy tank get shot or rotated like a hoola hop by something i cant see etcetc  , all to give advantage to newcomers i think ) .. all stuff i would like comes second it seems.. Bleah
And other things i agree with  you but ..well , wea re few and mostly folks  who did play before , so i spare you unnecessary underlines mate  .
See you in battles ;)

Well that would be the point of extra tier. Grinding and playing the game for hours. personally i could give couple hours a day for tanki and have fun since all i do in my free time is playing another games anyway. And if you don't  want to grind, don't grind you're just missing on extra extra stuff. Yea augments make the game more interesting but what i mean is i don't mind augments being BALANCED and not braindead duplet hammer or pulsar twins level. This makes battles more balanced and way more fun than just using a braindead OP augment ( i know since i've used braindead augments and been in balanced battle a lot of times) when it comes to physics they dont touch me at all its all good for me. lag too just get better PC (lol) that wasp bug you told never happened to me so it could be a thing on your end too.

Any ideas as to what the rewards will be for the 1st march challenge yet?

[PirateSpider 1,489]

Just looked at the wiki for the first march challenge, the main prizes are:

• stained glass and diamond paints

• heavy and AP augments for hornet I think

• explosive shells and incendiary augments for scorpion

• LC skin for shaft.

[opwsdj 40]

Ok they obviously don't care about challenges anymore, seriously tho what is this??? shaft LC scorpion incendiary exactly october II challenge barely four months ago! they keep repeating the same stuff, and this is the fifth pass without a hull skin! they obviously dont want f2p to get too much good stuff from bps after the free tankoins and fund, they put three consecutive bad skins (striker ut vulcan prime hammer lc), then put a better/more desired skin (thunder XT) so that players dont rage quit, and continue to add bad passes that basically repeat old stuff. Initially I thought that it could have been a mistake and that they forgot the change the pass when using the old template or something, but I don't think it is because in the october II challenge it was explosive warheads and this time it is explosive shells, so they did change something. overall really disappointing but expected battle pass given the current trend, had to go on this rant lol.

maybe you know , but check here ( about the time you ask that it got released here)
EDIT:sorry i did not refresh forum and saw late you know

[mrvomit 106]

And again , i have the paints that i would matter about already. Also weird there is plenty of stuff they could re-release which is not game changing but a lot of time unseen,like Shaft healing or some emp/ap  hull protections  . I have them for most so not caring but saying that from a general point of view.
Or maybe to release some coolness as  " X-noir  " paint ( which i think should be named Rorshach actually  ,lol  liking for that reason  reminds me a famous Comic's  Mask based on that )  . or Do a Rorshach paint already!

Now I have a new question. Is a challenge possible to complete in 15 days?

i completed it already , but sunday here was  extremely bad weather so i did play a lot . Nevertheless I guess anyway  yes ,  perhaps devs saw some complainings in that topic  and 150 stars were added in a special mission afterwards , plus the first weekly which gives  is usually easy to do in 2 days max ( 100 stars ) and it popped enough before . Guess they are monitoring it and letting people finish without too much hassle ( supposing you play everyday  ). Couple of hours  - daily - though , for the remaining stars you need in addition if you get, say , 2 per battle .
Latest challenges were worthy to finish only for tankoins for "veteran"players ,  but that's another matter

It's been noticed that the rewards for March II are on the .ru wiki, hornet xt, nice

But that's a day early, so is there really still a day left for March I ?

So what does the heart of steel paint look like on a tank in full animation?

"meh"... raws of bricks ,  alternatively going  up  down  in a straight  pattern , boring like something done in a quick  template   . And as always , "too fast" animation   ,thumb down (got it few days ago.) .But you can  see it on your tank with animation in garage  even if you do not have it ,like all the paints ..

I finished the Challenge last night. 

The new star system is pretty good, but this result is a bit skewed thanks to the Premium I got from the event and playing a little bit more than usual. 
For better or for worse, this definitely makes Premium more valuable in terms of Challenge completion. Getting 6 stars per battle is basically a free ticket to complete a tier (and sometimes two). 

[AraB_AllieD_ForceS 1]

i think they need to add more rewards for the challenges because as we all can see that the players who cant participate in events from tankoins paid they will keep wait for the challenges to come with a nice rewards but tanki keeps the same rewards 2 augments and 2 paints and the last rewards we all know 100 tks and a skin and they keep adding skins like SHAFT LC depends also if your buying the battle pass so the normal challenges dont get anything to help upgrading your tank so at the end they play bored ways like CAMPING because they cant attack like the buyers and i have experienced it and tried the TRY HARD way and BEING A BUYER in the game its really diffirent  and i didnt also see a DC skin in the challenges and that makes us very clear about there way on ( if you pay you get )  ihope you get my point and the devs look about it and find a way for these ways because the game is getting boring by the way and for the future

By my calculations, if we're not counting stars earned by missions, if you were to get 6 stars consistently per battle, you could finish the challenge in just 12 and a half hours.

Earning 4 stars per battle, you would finish in just barely over 19 hours.

Earning 3 stars per battle, you would finish around 25 hours.

Earning 2 stars per battle, it'll take you around 37 and a half hours to finish.

Earning 1 star per battle, you'll finish in around 75 hours.

[Alklines 1,751]

I have 1,563 stars, just from playing as usual. (With premium, of course)

Yup, making Premium more desirable was definitely one of the motivations for this change. 

Personally, I like it a lot. After star rewards were nerfed in special and weekly missions, missing a set of daily missions meant that you had to earn 180 stars manually. At a reasonable average of 2 stars per battle, that's about 18 extra hours of gameplay - a massive amount of catch-up to do in two weeks for missing just a single day.

Nowadays you miss a day of missions and you just need to play 4-5 extra battles to make up the difference. Admittedly, I do have Premium and strong equipment, so 6 stars per battle is pretty much guaranteed for me, but I still think it's a good change overall.

What's in the first may challenge?

[PirateSpider 1,489]

So I asked in the RU forum where I can get the early information for the first may challenge.

This is where the link that one of their mods gave me:

https://tankionline.com/ru/2023/04/majskie-prazdniki-3/

And then they closed the topic.

You should have said Челлендж instead. 

 

You're just going to have to wait until the last 1-2 days like everyone else.

I used the Google translater to go from English to russian. And the translator gave me a different reading.

Yeah, I could get it tomorrow. I just wish they gave us like at least another day or two in advanced.

That moderator should be deleted from the list of moderators, and all the free crystals, premiums and tankoins he received as a moderator should be taken away from him.

Considering that @PirateSpider used google translate to get the text, and didn't even include the word "Челлендж", I suspect his question wasn't clear enough for the mods to answer properly.

Also, a bit harsh of a punishment for one mistake, innit?

And even if I was clear. If the mistake was still made, I wouldnt want them to lose their position. I think the best way to go about this is to either let the mod themselves know or talk with the admin.

Jun 1st challenge has nothing but viking LC
