A token of apology

[syelnmh 0]

I can confirm that we still get MK1 items from these new containers. I just got a magnum MK1 even though I had it at MK6 already.

[DestrotankAI9 1,513]

Thanks for fixing the mistake anyway, however as @Akame said, it would have been better to fix the container issue itself, and then to reward the containers. For players who don't log in during the next few days, they will continue to get scammed and confused by these Mk1 rewards (unless you plan to fix the issue in a few days time). I think it wouldn't have hurt, to fix the problem and then reward players with a few containers to make up for it.

Really like the update!! Now I can get mysterious red for my vulcan :D

Only downside is premium can't be obtained easily now... but thanks for free container ;P

Cool token of apology

[Poeiaah 60]

i appreciate that the tanki team finally once apologize for there mistakes. they should analyse some more updates like the reward for the last tier in the battlespass. its a shame to give tankers such a useless reward for the last tier. add at least something valuable to the last tier, here my suggestions: paints, Drones,  augments, collor-effects or 5 ultra containers. since you are no longer going to add skin container what many would like.

and thanks for the 23 containers

Nice.

Very Nice.

Would have been better to make an apology that gave all mk1's and then 15 containers.

But hey, thanks... for trying... i guess?

just remove this reward from the containers, it would solve the problem directly

I think this image should describe my emotions by itself.

[alkyng 3,080]

I'm not a developer, but I think with an easy algorithms they can fix it, like giving every player an Mk1 version of every item he have, or giving every player all of Mk1 items.  Or bringing them down to Common Tier for a while.  And there are much more ways to fix if you spent a minute of thinking.

[ZeeBricks 15]

So...why not just fix the problem...why make an apology for choosing not to fix it??

[Devastate 108]

new containers are a  insult to humanity. reducing our crystal gain by a third, handing out mk 1 turrets to legends…

WOW,  you won 10 crystals worth RARE red paint,  congrats!!

[readyfireaim 369]

Me: Ah, thanks for the containers!

Tanki: No problem, man!

Me: This should be good, maybe an augment or two, a bunch of crystals, and hopefully a legendary drop.

Tanki:

Spoiler

Are you joking???

This is so disappointing.

I'm done with the game. It's just not worth my time any more. With this new container nerf, there is no point in trying to earn, well, anything. The game is now just a boring, repetitive mess. I wouldn't rule out a comeback, but for now, I'm done. I'm truly sorry for Tanki; they must be really desperate if they're doing this. Forcing people to buy containers in order to get anything. I wish them all the best, and I wish every one of you all the best. Good luck.

also shards do not get awarded with passing time , mine stayed at 4 .so they removed that too , i did not see mentioned(ok i see it must have been told in v-log or whatever , like everyone would jump to see it ..ok i saw it )
basically containers obtainable are  less , and fixed amount .meh .
(ok legendary augments in the dice , but i think is just a golden pill to lure nothin else percentage will be ridicolous )

It wasn't an apology. It was a half attempt at damage control.

[Okami 3,041]

Opened 161 Containers on 7 accounts. I got a lot of junk rewards (no surprise there)

On the accounts I use, I didn’t go higher than Rare (read: on par with Uncommon at best (10k crystals) or below it at worst (100 Repair Kits)). I got a ton of turrets and hulls I don’t even want (let alone NEED) on my Shaft-only RTL account. What use is Wasp or Mammoth when I have an Mk5-10 Crusader at Lieutenant Colonel? It even has Cold Immunity, one of the most invaluable hull augments especially for Shaft, and also for mid-rank battles when you aren’t facing the cancer that is EMP/AP/Stun yet.

I did get a couple of Epics, but they were all useless rewards and on accounts that collect dust. I got a paint, a shot effect, and drones. I might as well have gotten nothing, because I don’t have the crystals or the desire to upgrade Sprinter on a Warrant Officer 1 account that has a maxed Brutus and ended up becoming a project to get as high of a GS as possible as a free account. I can’t do that anymore with the loss of Shards so whatever. 

T(h)anks for nothing. I’m not spending a single cent on this game anymore if things don’t turn around. I have a few thousand Tankoins and I still have a pretty new Daily Tankoin Pass, but I won’t be replenishing my Tankoins past this point. Only with free methods.

This apology does not help at all, containers are big joke now, why would you ruin something that works great? 

 

Honestly, there is no hope that you will change something back to good, but at least don't ruin anything

I think they should redo the color paints to make them look better and make them cost 1000 or more. The orange and green paints look good, but black, blue, red and white could look better,

[xXx_ALPHA-BEAST_xXx 291]

i am sorry but tanki said we are conitinously watching your feedback every time they do changes.

my question - did you use eyes to watch feedback ?

[Venerable 2,967]

To all those who still think that "the issue hasn't been fixed":
Smoky, Hunter (for PC) or Ares (for mobile), and Viking (PC) or Crusader (mobile) are available for free when you create an account. Hence, we're left with 23 turrets & hulls, for which the Developers gave 23 Containers. Now, whenever you open a Container, there are two possibilities:

1. You get some Mk1 turret/hull
2. You get something else (other than Mk1 equipment)

If you get all Mk1 equipment, good for you.
If you get some of it, and the rest of the rewards turn out to be the normal rewards, there's still no problem.
Why? Simply because these 23 containers were extra ones. If you get some normal reward instead of an Mk1 turret out of these 23, it means that you've already received some reward in lieu of the Mk1 turret which you'd inevitably get some day in the future. It may not be of the same rarity, but that shouldn't matter - you've received a container, a chance to get a good reward, for every Mk1 equipment.
Come to think of it, this is much simpler than any other solution...

"But the rewards are bad" — well, that's a separate matter and shouldn't be associated with this token of apology, which did exactly what it was supposed to do.

typo ?

[VIC2000 92]

@Venerable At a rank that no longer needs MK1 (like after the first 30 mins of playing tanki) how is getting ANY MK1 "good for anyone" unless you are a very, very, very low rank and don't have a clue what you are getting into in regards to the game and the malicious ways in which the devs manipulate the game. 

These changes like the majority of changes (updates) the devs make are aimed at making players "play more" and spend more cash on a game that is self imploding because of the said changes that the devs keep making. Their thought process behind these changes still baffle me and so the only reason I can think of behind these changes is MONEY.

You are typical of most mods, you try and justify (on behalf of the devs) the diabolical changes they make that the VAST MAJORITY of players do not want.

And for your information the rewards are not just bad, they are COMPLETE TRASH.

This is not a token apology, it is another chance for the devs to try and fleece it's players into 1-spending more time playing the game 2-spend more cash to make up for the deliberate shortfalls caused by them (devs.)

Doing the challenge was only ever worthwhile for the containers and cry you could earn. As we have now found out the updated containers are not worth anything, they are TRASH.

A proper apology would have been to FIX the problem, give every player 50,000 cry and 15 regular containers and maybe 250 of all supplies. That MOD would have been an acceptable and worthy apology for their blunder.

You keep praising their updates mod and i will keep reminding you why they do such such updates and it's not because they care about their player base, unless YOU think they do.

I would greatly appreciate it if you read and understand my post properly, keep the context in mind, and post a reply to what I actually said.

I have a feeling that you're talking about something else altogether.

Let me make a few things clear. Tanki introduced an update: Mk1 versions of hulls & turrets can now be obtained from normal containers. I won't go into how good or bad this update is, because that is not related to the "issue". People found that they were getting the Mk1 versions of some equipment despite having higher modifications, which means that the containers they opened were wasted.

This happened because the Developers, by their own admission, made a mistake and overlooked one important factor: For players who had bought Mk2 or higher modifications of turrets/hulls (via kits or bundles), the system assumed that these players never had the Mk1 version, and hence they could still get the Mk1 version of some equipment from containers.

EDIT: Even in the case of players who bought the M0 version and got Mk1s after the M --> Mk conversion, the system failed to detect the presence of Mk1s in the Garage. I don't know why, but I reached this conclusion based on the experiences of many players (after interacting with them).

To compensate for this error on their part, they gave 23 containers which are more than enough to make up for the wasted containers of some players. Do note that only some players faced this problem. Many players (including me) had already bought the Mk1 versions of most (if not all) of the turrets and hulls, so these items never showed up in our container-reward-pool. Even then we got 23 containers, so I don't see a single reason to complain.

Now, please read my post above once again to understand exactly why giving 23 containers solved the problem (and solved it well, I might add). In fact, it actually ended up giving extra stuff to players who didn't even face this problem.

 

Whether or not these updated containers are a good is a completely different debate. Do not associate this with the Token of Apology. Because, I repeat, the Token of Apology did exactly what it was supposed to do.

Now, if you still, somehow, find my post illogical or senseless, feel free to send me a Forum PM and I'll gladly explain it to you. However, I implore you, please read my post with the right context in mind, and please note the exact point that I'm making — I am clearly separating the container update from the "problem" faced by players due to an error by the Developers.

thx for correcting me, wolverine848! :D ; Added info about M0 issue too

[ZeeBricks 15]

So they changed rank up rewards as well??? When I rank to Legend, I get ONE container. ONE. When it used to be, what, 40,000 crystals?? What the heck are they doing to the system?

Hello, tankers!

 

In the recent release, we updated the content of Containers, adding the first modifications of all hulls and turrets. 
However, we did not take into account that some tankers have skipped the first modifications of certain equipment when purchasing higher modifications available for their ranks. As a result, the system failed to detect the presence of certain first modifications in these players' inventories and have therefore dropped the Mk1s in Containers. 

 

That is our fault, and we are very sorry about that. As compensation, we prepared a special mission which will give one Container for every Mk1 equipment regardless of whether a player owns the equipment or not. It will be available till 2 AM UTC, January 17th.

 

Once again, we apologize for our mistake and appreciate your understanding. Click on the «Claim» button to get your Containers. The mission is available starting from the seventh rank.
 

So... is the Dev's plan to kill the game or something?

Asking for a friend.
