This Fund is basic helio + skin = 1000 coins.

If you need skin or helio, buy it, if not, save for battle pass

id say its still more worth than bp. You get Ultra Conts, mod slot, and regular cont.

I think that's highly unlikely, for the fund to reach Crisis, it has to pass the 15 M mark which is a lot. After a certain point, it depends on the buyers-only to boost the fund, since all casual and f2p players have already bought the bundles. And to spend so much tankoins to make it reach to Level 15 doesn't seem worth for them because Crisis and armadillo is already obtainable by such buyers. It's just the extra rewards and fund exclusive augments they wish to obtain.

Yep. Out of every fund, we have never reached above even 13 mil. I think it will be impossible.

But this time we have the chance to reach level 14. Why so ? because previously fund stopped around the corner because of the DDoS attacks, we were close to blaster only by 300k tankoins. We would have even obtained it had not the fund stopped growing drastically in the last moments.

On the other hand, this fund has more time compared to others, any recent DDoS attack has not stopped the game but rather than any other social game related sites, so the buying of fund bundle continues. We are 100k more to Level 7, and all the next rewards are now favorable and unique for buyers. Not talking about 15, but it's a high chance we can reach Armadillo this time.

I hope to get armadillo module.

It doesn’t consume anything and unlikely to get nerf.

Therefore, it’s valuable to me.

For players with low rank accounts the only one worth getting is the 4th protection slot, which is a cash grab con installed by the developers to temp you to spend cash. 

The containers as we all know have been devalued so much they are complete trash, especially for low ranked players. All you are going to get is MK1 rubbish and 1K crystals with a few supplies thrown in and the obligatory useless paints which are used to fill the void and stop you getting anything worthwhile, unless you spend a huge fortune on containers, regular or ultra makes no difference they are both cons.

1K coins for this fund is not worth it. Everybody knows whatever you get will be nerfed and your cash wasted.

And yet you still spend cash knowing all of this post is based on proven facts regarding the developers track record, you deserve what you get.

Wait until you have to upgrade it and that's after you have to spend hundreds of thousands to get it from MK1 to MK7.

Hope you have a couple million cry spare, give are take.

Exactly, crisis isn't that hard to upgrade, you can easily max it overtime and just switch to BD at most times and keep shooting and camping. No need for switches.

Hence, crisis for mass players is bad, I don't want to see the drone getting nerfed.

I have 1M crystals now.

I think I’ll get 2M crystals at least by the Tanker’s day sale.

The fund looks promising right now, but still I believe we will hit more or less a hard stop at some point. 

The reason being the playerbase is not infinity. In short, we have F2Ps, small buyers and big buyers.

F2P's may choose to buy 1bundle if they managed to save up 1k tks and that is it. 

Then we have the small buyers who will buy a small bundle, but aren't willing to buy the bigger one. The limit of small bundles purchased is 1, so that's it for them as well, even though they may have been willing to buy a second one.

Last but not least the big buyers. Hypothetically, these guys could get us to the final prize, if they so wished. The issue is there is no motivation. Majority of them already has armadillo and crisis, so they would actually prefer the fund not to reach those levels, as it would devalue their equipment.

That is why I think it is extremely unlikely to reach armadillo or crisis, unfortunately.

none of them have vacuum and swarm augments, neither hammer Lc, hope it'll give them enough motivation

Sure, rewards up to lvl13 are interesting to everyone, but still you would need at least 2mil extra for the last two lvls, which is not going to happen in my opinion.

I may be wrong of course, I just like making predictions  .

On a positive note, Skin container is now saved  

[NikmanGT 4,411]

Cheers to those who bought the fund, another skin container

[ReisVerbal 42]

I stand by my prediction:
minimum 10k
maximum 13k

Actually have to agree with you here about it being unfortunate. I personally would like to see fund maxed because if that happens we all know what the developers will do....BIG NERF in the near future and all these kermits that bought into the con (fund) will start crying. 

Buyers are buyers, they can't help themselves, a bit like like a 5 yr old in a sweetie shop. As for those that buy into the "fund" good luck on the nerfs, because the developers hold all the cards.

Hehe haha! You meant BALANCE Updates not nerfs, Sir. Hazel is working hard to make tanki the best game there is <3333
Everyone that bought the fund should realise that Crisis (RIP 1,000,000 mines bought challenge), Thunder (Vacuum cleaner absorbed), Armadillo (your crystals absorbed) are very OP so they'll nerf it and make it balanced! Why its OP? Because even my GOAT Hazel himself doesn't have it because its so rare... So how could he know Crisis is OP? He's too busy trying to find the perfect balance in the game! There is no time to play MM for him!!!!

Spoiler

Yea you don't want to reach LVL 14-15 because it would mean big nerf to these items including Helios which would mean there is no OP toy for cowards from a certain clan... Cough, cough Dat..... clan. I mean the clan that only plays in 3 ppl groups and equips Helios the second their toys dont give them the win. So they'll have to rely on Skill and guess what a guy with 10 minutes of experience in this game is already more skilled than those cowards. (this sounds like im exaggerating but if you know about what clan im talking you'll probably realise that its actually true as insane as it sounds) So the crying from this Da... clan will be so intense hazel the Wodkaman will create new version of Crisis and Armadillo. Spectrum module being able to be bought for crystals might come to reality very soon.

Agreed, premium cosmetics are the way to go.

That's really useful thing, good job @Person_Random! 

Thanks guys! It came in clutch during a research interview for a time series project. Hopefully I'll be able to implement new features and do a website redesign after my classes are over.

In other news, the estimated final fund is slated to be around 13M at the moment

@frederik123456 @Entropy You both either miss the point by a mile are you both genuinely think having a dumb skin is worth the money you spend on the fund, either way it's your cash. A fool and his money are soon parted, seems very apt for those players who think this fund is "worth it"

Why are you still fixated on money, you have 30 UCs on your side (not even going to count the containers to you), 1 skin container, YES, when I have my combo maxed, I would prefer cool skins for it. Helios incoming, Hammer EMP, Scorpion's alt, Tesla's Pulsar.  This fund is genuinely much more worth than other ones. Definitely a worth buying.

Also, a side note, keep your conversation civilized. @YANUKFIN Disrespect to other members (including helpers) isn't acknowledged on the public forum.

Look, at the end of the day, we are talking about spending money for virtual goods.

Some would say that spending a dime  on video games is a vaste of money. Others don´t share that sentiment.  

Ultimately it is all subjective. People spend money on stuff they enjoy and you are not the one to judge what that is. 

For example, I love Mountain biking, and it is not uncommon to see people shaking their heads over the price of my bike, with comments like: ´´All that for a set of tubes and two wheels? You could have rather bought a motocycle for that´´ etc. But such thinking completely misses the point, as you may imagine.

Nothing is worth anything if YOU don´t want it.

Even from DDoS attacks, we were actually pretty slow on growth right before the attacks. It was when Tanki challenged us to get to Blaster the buyers took their wallets out.

 

Also, I'm pretty sure most f2p players have drained their TKs on last 2 BPs + Bday Fund.

But 1.3 people actually won the last fund, rejecting multiple accounts, fair it to somewhat 1k players. That's itself good for F2ps to buy again, in motivation to get 8k tankoins back.

And with so many exclusive and exotic augments being available this time.

Is it weird I care more about Skins than Augments now?

It's not actually, same as I tell everyone. I assume you probably have a good combo to play with, earn good kills with that, now what's the harm in obtaining a cool looking skin for it for just 990 tankoins (along with other goodies) when the skin cont itself was more than 30k tk.

All the major augments except Hammer EMP I am afraid, have the potential to go under a major nerf. Skins stay elite

Now to go on a Battlefield with this:

Or this

I would definitely choose the latter.
