And here I thought playing casually could miss me those 15 ultras and containers, so I played excessively during the beginning

Yeah, it wasn´t really as difficult as it would seem at first.

i actually hecked the supermissions over the weekend because I wanted to just play my favourite Christmas special modes over the 2 weekends for that little time i got to play TO, then on weekdays, i thought i wouldn't make it but yeeah, it didn't look as bad as it seemed to be.

and i want to tell that i earned all these immunity by playing on mobile with shard (made 250 containers each month since shard update XD)

You can watch only up to 10 ads per day. Shards - Tanki Online Wiki (tankiwiki.com)

So I highly doubt you are getting that much containers per month unless wiki is incorrect. But I don't know, haven't tried.

I was also a bit bewildered by that 250conts statement. I ussually play the ad once or twice a day, not more because it wants you to finish a battle on mobile first, and I´m just not willing to play on mobile.

[NikmanGT 4,363]

Probably containers were also counted from special missions, BP and the normal shard container through daily mission.

Finishing a battle with at least 30 score will allow you to watch an ad after that battle. It's great when battles end quickly or you end up in one that is almost finished.

My point is that you can't do that infinitely. I'm quoting from wiki:

"Players can watch up to 10 ads per day, earning up to one additional container."

But yea it's great for 1 additional container a day.

36 containers from BP first part with gold tier
36 containers from BP second part with gold tier
3*4=12 containers from weekly missions a month

36+36+12=84 containers

150 shards from daily missions
100 shards from ads (remember you can only watch 10 ads per day)
100 shards from passive accumulation (daily container)

So per day you can get 350 shards (3.5 containers)
3.5*30=105 containers

So in conclusion if you:

• buy both BP (and get at least 2700 stars),
• complete all weekly missions,
• complete all daily missions,
• watch 10 ads a day,
• collect all daily containers

You can get 189 containers + from special missions

But without buying BP you can get 135 containers + from special missions in a month.

turns out you can watch more than 10 ads per day (source: numericable)

but now I find JGR mode more easier to see which team will win, if you join JGR and saw your team is 2 jgr kill ahead at start, means buyer on your team and battle will ends within 6min with 10-0.

OR... it means the other team has some noobs that started off as JUG.  Can't stand it when battle starts and the default JUG on my team charges recklessly over to enemy team and gets wasted.  1-0 when I've just barely spawned.  E-X-I-T

[NikmanGT 4,363]

Nice detailed explanation, now even I am intrigued as how it was possible, it could either some already saved containers from the past.

No, you can watch as you many ads as you want as long as you finish the match, wiki went wrong, also, all those 250 containers are from missions too and gold containers in gold events (i catch alot of golds) and challenge free tier, but most of them are from the shards update. I have seen players saving more than 300 conts in a month so you just have to hard trying.

How do I join the event? Because I entered the link and did not know + I did not find it in the game??? !!!!!!

I dont agree bro, for 2K tankoins, it require to just win one battle each day, one match per day, 15 minutes per day, it is easy to predict which side will win, if you are unsure, just exit the battle, aussault mode is a great one, easy to win in the defender team if your team is decent. Lets assume both team have equal powers, the defender team would win 95% of the time so there is no excuse with the fact that the 2k tkn require only 15 min of playing. I am doing it in 5 account and all of them are done in the first try of the day, just exit the battle if your team seems weaker than ennemy team, so that mission isnt a no lifer mission.

However, the other one 9k score in 6 diff mode for only 15 UC is a no lifer super mission.

Fair points, well perhaps in terms of actual time played this mission is not too hard, but all the same not everyone can play every single day - especially over a busy period like Christmas. Players such as @wolverine848 missed the missions because of that, and so did many of my friends. And yes the 54k score mission is excessive - no idea why it is that much when we have had 20k or at most 30k for all previous holidays, never as much as 54k.

For those of us able to do it though, the 2000 tankoins is an amazing reward, for a not a lot of in-game playtime. But not everyone can play, or is willing to play every day during a holiday like this. Might be better to have something like top-3 in the winning team, but only requires 12 completions across the 17 days - so it is equally hard, but fairer for those who can't play every day.

Sounds like the devs right now are desperate that they'll resort to any tactics to keep the remaining players online for as long as they can, even if it means making super long and difficult missions where you have to play 24/7 to complete them.

At this rate, I do not see the game making it to 2023. Which means, 2022 may very well be the last year that tanki will stay running.

Yes, I do think the requirements for the Christmas missions are rather excessive. I wish the tankoins one didn't require daily play, and the score requirements for the main mission was reduced. I do think what the developers have asked of players, during probably the most important holiday of the year for many, is too much. However, the rewards for the tankoin mission if you can complete it - is pretty awesome - and also the special modes have so far been really good. Plus for Legends, 2x exp and 2x crystals for this long is a really large benefit.

I do like many aspects of the game, and as a free player there have been many changes which are helpful - for instance the new weekly containers (much better crystals/supplies at low ranks), easier to complete challenges now with epic tier augments and paints in silver tier, 100k and fast upgrading brutus drone, and regular events offering ultra containers. And the easily accessible 4th module which many free players, including myself, were able to get in the recent Tanki fund.

On my main account, and even on a newly created alt account which I started from recruit, I am doing well and having fun in battles. However, I am willing to use meta equipment such as the old Hopper, or the current Paladin - many players are not. I can win without such items, but there is admittedly quite a bit of imbalance currently.

Overall I don't feel quite as pessimistic about the game as you clearly do. I would not like to see missions like we saw at Christmas again, I hope 54k score requirements and so on will be an exception rather than the rule. And I do hope for some balance changes to clearly OP items such as Freeze/Paladin in the near future. If Paladin is nerfed, I would also like to see 14v14 CTF/RGB/ASL removed from matchmaking, as Paladin is the only thing which makes those matches playable - without it, they will be almost unwinnable.

Many problems with the game, but you can compete as a free player, and have fun too in the current state if you know how to manage your account, and are willing to use meta equipment - that's my experience anyway.

If you have a account below marshal it is not very useful.

This is the main reason (but not solely) why so many high ranked players, including legends, have a useless G/S/garage.

The extra XP does lower ranks no favours.

Amazing reward, beg to differ on that one. Not a lot of game time, again disagree.

The only drone a F2P can use without using a lot of EXPENSIVE batteries. It is also useless, hence the reason, no batteries needed.

Only "quite a bit" Try a mountain size of imbalance and we can agree.

If you don't mind getting beat up every battle, then yeah your average F2P can mix it with the best and get squished.

A recruit could compete with a maxed out everything legend 100, you catching my drift here.

Alright, well indeed the increased XP is bad for players below Legend. I made a suggestion in Ideas and Suggestions that we should have an "On/Off" toggle for increased XP and funds - so if you want to sacrifice the increased funds to not earn extra XP you can, that would be perfect for low ranks who want to complete their missions. Alternately, either the extra XP/funds should only be on weekends or bonus XP, or bonus funds should not apply to players below Legend rank. I agree this new system does cause low ranked players to rank up too quickly, if you are trying to stay below Legend.

In the current game, you basically have to make plans for what you will do when you reach Legend ASAP. Because it will happen very fast.

I agree there are big issues with the game, but I have to say as a free player at Legend, or on my new very low ranked account (just started from recruit a few weeks ago), or on mid-ranked alts I am topping battles and competing with buyers/high Legends just fine. Not having an issue, however I am able to complete crazy weekends regularly on my Legend, which not everyone has the time to do. But once you have a strong garage, those events do take much less time to complete.

On my low ranked account, I am swimming in supplies from recruit. As long as I only play daily missions, or special missions, I never run out of supplies (however I am being conservative, and only using Brutus drone for now). One of the big issues for free players is that you can't play much more beyond daily missions, or special missions - otherwise you will run out of supplies. So if you want to play more, you have to have multiple accounts. You can get a bit more playtime with the supplies available at Legend, but still the supply is quite limited. So creating multiple accounts is a must for free players.

But if you limit your playtime on each account, I don't see a problem to compete as a free player. If you are having issues, maybe it is because you refuse to use meta equipment - such as Paladin. You can win without meta items, but it certainly is harder. I generally use the best tools for the job - whatever that is at the present time. And if I can afford to, I branch out to other combos - for instance many different ranged turrets are viable in CP, so I would mix it up a bit if I was playing those modes. But in capture modes, a lot of Paladin with the occasional use of Mammoth/Wasp/Hunter if I am going for captures, for midfield or defensive play you have more options.

I am excited about the upcoming 3 days, those are the days in which I grind the most   Almost more than those 4 days combined....

[DestrotankAI9 1,513]

So I have to say, really liking this special mode :) All 3 of the special modes for this event have been great in my opinion. However, I could be a little biased, since I just earned this from a blackbox container:

Not bad at all =O ! One of my most wanted paints. Probably my best blackbox so far on this account, along with Hopper Stun Immunity. Earned 100k on an alt once, but I don't think I've ever seen a Legendary from a dropped container. I'll take it :)

Also, the remastered Sandbox map seems to be a lot better optimised now, even on my weak laptop FPS/loading time seems fine.
