Is this tanks in space 2 where you think you have chance get crisis by reading description but in reality you get to like first big island but fail get on second?

Yep, it seems it's hard, if not impossible to finish second round without buying special offers. If you think about it tho, crisis was always a drone intended to be obtained by buying, so it would make no sense to give out crisis drones to many players basically for free. I get what you mean and sort of agree, but it was never actually said, you can finish everything without buying offers from shop, announcement just tells you about options to get lolipops and possible rewards. I hope I make sense here,

Wake up developers, F2P players wants something special too. Why do you only support Buyers? It’s probably time to leave, because you will NEVER listen up to us. BOO!

Actually, I disagree here. Think about it, if the game sells ultra containers, which are the only way to get crisis, then giving crisis for free, to almost everyone is a small brain idea.

But wait, so what this minigame offers you, as a free to play player? You should be able to finish the first round, by completing missions daily, which you probably already do because of challenge, weekly missions, shards, etc... On top of this, you are getting lolipops, with no extra work, which are probably going to get you a little bit of stuff (I've seen rewards with 100-200 batteries, some goldboxes, around 50 tankoins and little crystals). You would be getting all of this, by doing the regular stuff.

P2W MINI-GAME FOR THE MORE P2W GAME YIYI

In short, yes, but no. The premium stuff, like skins, crazy amount of tankoins and crisis are meant for buyers. Free to play players can still get some bits for literally just doing missions everyday, which is already great.

A little bit of math:

It seems that you need around 220 lolipops, however, since there is random element of getting thrown back, or forward, it might be less or more - maybe 200, maybe 250... You should be able to get 288, from doing all 3 missions every day (24 days x 3 missions x 4 lolipops), which is certainly enough for first round, and almost certainly not enough for second round. Even with lolipop golds is seems quite hard, as you'd probably need over 120 lolipop golds, and maybe even 150 or 180, if very unlucky.

Quite balanced in my opinion.

If you are the luckiest one in the world u can get wasp and firebird demonic skin by just completing daily missions 

[Surgeon 261]

I will just hope we are getting Tanki War instead of this *thing* in christmas or new year ?

Spoiler

Devs be like: yeah sure, but .... hehe

Devs never, ever tell you exactly how it is, ever.

This "mini game" is aimed at buyers and buyers only, so quit trying to defend the devs in your round about way because the devs could care less about F2P.

They are devious in everything they do when cash is to be made. Take paladin, NO protection from it, so the buyers have a HUGE advantage when they eventually get it from P2W ultras.

TO is dead for F2P. There is and has not been balance in this game for years. 

Funny how you mods always look on the bright side when something new comes along aimed at the devs fav players, the buyers.

Most players do not believe anything the devs say anymore, their track record backs this up 100%.

So...we're not supposed to be able to have our rewards in the garage til a full rotation of the map has been done, yet I got the special paint right away from the one and only roll I did, which was one island. Glitch??

Wait what? As far i remember in other game i paid 5-20€ for each skin such as League of Legend, Valorant or even Mobile games like  Clash Royale.. Just in comparaison, I need to buy twice 185€ (40K TK) just to finish the first 3 islands for the new pair of DC skins??? No way most peoples doesn't care about batteries, golds etc... 
A lot of people actually just want the new skins (or crisis obs) but it's not possible at all without spending 350€ which is really sad... Tanki needs to review his priority if it would be 10 or 20€ for each a lot of people would be happy to support them instead of doing this p2w event.

Important: At the end of every round, the main prize will be a great mountain of tankoins - 25,000!

@Marcus Can you please reword this to "Once you complete the first 3 round trips you'll get 25k tankoins..." Or something along those lines. When said as the quoted text above, this sounds very misleading.

That's impossible for F2Players.

You can earn 12 Lolipops from missions daily... that means the maximum you can get from missions in 24 days is 288 Lolipops.

You need hundreds more to win the 25k Tankoins.

We mortals can only dream. Or like me not participate until they lower the Lolipops to 7 minutes.

[LSHTV 229]

Will lolipops stay after 31? or will you make any other event with Lolipops? in November?

He said "every" so he thought it means "all"!

Lost in translation

It depends how much money you want to spend. The boo bundle has 20 lollipops whereas the pumpkin bundle contains 160 lollipops, but costs 10 times.
So it is better to buy 10 boo bundles (if it is possible) and get 200 lollipops, 150 ultra containers and 100 coinboxes.

I don't intend to buy either. Since the increase in tankoins cost, I stopped buying anything for real money. My protest regarding TO greed.

The game makes money from selling stuff, not a big surprise. I'm also not a fan of this, but what can I do, I'd also rather have only cosmetic items being sold for money.

Yes, the announcement is not entirely clear, and IMO it might be better to explain that it's almost impossible to reach past second round without buying offers, but they can still get some free stuff just by completing missions. Not sure if players would be "happier", but they chose this option.

Yep, I'm guessing they figured out, that this is more profitable, after all, why would they make this, and not what you proposed. Makes sense? Giving "everyone" (affordable for many) crisis means noone wants crisis anymore, and there is no incentive to get it from ultras, so no money spent.

The idea behind this event is similar to esport bundles, but I liked esport bundles more, as that one was "accesible" for many more players, who would only spend a little on 1-2 bundles, already get ultra containers for better price than usually, and have chance to get everything back, or even more. This is is unfortunately really only for people who have the money to buy 80-100k tankoins.

PS: Crisis possible without buying, if you catch enough lolipop boxes?...

[Desghidorah 58]

Can anyone say me how many number of brides are there from the first main island to the second main island ?

[Desghidorah 58]

How to catch lollipop boxes can anyone tell me please ?

[HardKnockLife 56]

It is the purple color gold box, not normal gold or halloween pumpkin gold,

in normal match, use hopper overdrive to jump catch,

in event mode without od, use titan or dictor hull with heavy weight augment, use strong turret like telsa to stay strong under gold box zone

[kydapoot 570]

The information about the minigame is now consolidated and available on a special Wiki Page. Happy island-hopping!

It's written that way because it's meant to mislead players, so that they will compete in this event and hopefully spend cash along the way. Like I said, very, very devious towards their player base.

They are not going to change their tactics any time soon.

They are a disgrace.

[Desghidorah 58]

How many islands are there between the first bridge and the second bridge ???

I love how the only tankers showing any enthusiasm for this money-making scam are the forum moderators.

 

Which is of course how they landed the position in the first place.

 

Not true. I rather like the idea of possibly completing one round for free myself and getting loads of tankoins whatnot.

Forum moderators are chosen not because they flatter the game but rather because of their competency in the field. Same for the other positions.
