esports eSports Tanki Fund

[numericable 2,375]

What will happen if we reach level 16 in fund or more? Blaster shot effect? Tankos paint?

Can you add more levels and their rewards because we are likely to get to the level 16, and then, only esport players would benefit from this...

[Eon 111]

Yes it would be nice if they add blaster effect as 16 since we were close to getting it last fund ( missed out on it bc of DDOS)

Healing rate was never changed. Booster was nerfed which reduced the extra healing bonus Booster gave you. Seeing that you primarily use Booster, I'm assuming that's where you got that conclusion from. 

 

Although it has more counters now via other hulls' Overdrives, it is still frustrating to fight against, justified by its design of having a long duration with a long score penalty. If you don't have AP Immunity or burst damage easily available and applicable in the location of the Paladin, then it is understandable that is is still being complained about. It doesn't help that that along with Ares is the hull being spammed by sweatsquads with meta drones. 

Yeah that probably explains it - healing with Paladin felt slower, i guess due to booster's nerf. And all you need to defend vs Paladin is a high DPS Turret, AP immunity and preferably a hull that can do damage ( eg Crusader, Ares, Hopper, Hunter)

Let us (F2P) have some fun with the Crisis until they add new drone (who knows when )

Couldn't have said it any better.

There is a lot of nonsense being talked here about armadillo and crisis.
I am basically a f2p player (I have made minor purchases in the distant past). I am legend 26 on this account and have armadillo at 50%. It was a massive burden to upgrade it and I ignored it until a 50% sale then took it to Mk7 followed by MUing it at every sale. (Must have been close on 2 years in total from getting it in an UC) It definitely slowed down my MUing everything else, but as I had plenty of stuff maxxed out that was not an issue. If you are a new legend or not even there yet, the upgrading of armadillo will cripple you.
I have armadillo on 2 other accounts as well. One is at Mk7 lvl4 and I only MU if I have sufficient after the other stuff I NEED to MU. The other is still Mk1 and my normal protections need much work, so again I will just ignore it for now.
As for crisis....I only have that on one account. I got in a couple of weeks ago in an UC and as that account is a WO1 it will get totally ignored. I will not use any drone in theory until it is at lvl18 but in reality lvl20 maxxed out. They are a waste of time at low levels, if not totally disastrous.
I am in this fund with maybe 15 accounts. Only my other 2 legend accounts will give armadillo any attention at all. Crisis I will upgrade to about level 5 at sales and then stop until such time as it becomes possible to max it out - IF I WORK OUT WHERE TO GET THE SUPPLIES FROM. This, my main account, has only 50k-70k of each supply and only 20k of first aid. That will disappear quickly, so I'm not bothered. I suspect many will bankrupt themselves supplies wise thus making themselves more vulnerable, which should be interesting.
In short, armadillo and crisis will not be the big game changers some expect but will cause a few hiccups that I believe will benefit the more cautious of us.

My fund ready when tanki fund is

Guess most of you won't be using the swarm alt anytime soon.

So... that's all you need?   

[Okami 3,041]

My current theory as to the rapid growth of the fund is this: There are some holdouts who waited until the new Battle Pass to make a decision whether to use the Tankoins from the Token of Apology on the Fund or the Battle Pass. Since the Battle Pass was really only interesting to a niche group of Smoky users, Titan users, or item collectors (like myself) and the Fund has massive potential right now, people opted to go for the Fund. There’s also a second subset of players who are currently inflating the fund: buyers who want an extra module slot/Armadillo/Crisis on their alt account(s) without having to pay 5000 Tankoins for the last module slot and open hundreds of Ultra Containers to get Armadillo and Crisis. For example, I bought the mini bundle so I could get Ultra Containers and the last module slot on my alt. 990 Tankoins is frankly a drop in the bucket for big buyers. I only had to buy a 400 Tankoin pack on my alt, but there are alt accounts that people have that have been sitting dormant with a decent stockpile of Tankoins that were all for free. (Remember that Special Mission that gave 2022 Tankoins back around Christmas/New Year’s Day?) Who knows how many of these accounts exist.

I keep my mammoth trickster combo ready behind house near flag to crush incoming flag stealing paladins.

Same for my crusade OD if on mobile, i shot them once they activiate OD on open field. Crusade OD recharge is faster than paladins

If Tanki doesn't give us 2023 Tankoins this, year. Will be totally disappointed.

130 Tankoins for weeks of grinding during TO's b-day was a huge disappointment.

I got Armadilo like 3 months ago from a lucky UC, maxed it out cause i already had many crystals due to the fact that i wasnt buying anything from the garage cause i pretty much have everything despite being f2p player for the last 4 years, esports rewards helped too.

the point is, i dont really feel that Armadilo is somethig really special to be honest. if it wasnt as decorated as it is, if it wasnt a ''gold'' protection i wouldnt use it. 

i dont feel stable with that protection, for me personally it is not something to be scared of or something to look forward to. i dont see much difference while i wear it or at least i dont ''feel'' much different, it might just be me idk

Says the paladin, crisis user. 

My mistake, missed out armadillo to.

last time i used paladin was just me abusing its overdrive because its a cheat code and im too lazy to play that day.

armadillo at first i was using it everywhere till i realised that its completely useless unless youre fighting dictators and melee range turrets. last time i used armadillo was in DM mode, before that like 2 months ago.

It is because helios is what you dont have?

I own Helios and frankly think it is not that big of a deal to have it in the fund. Even without a nerf, it will not be that effective anymore, because if up till now you encountered 70% of the players with 50% rico module, from now on it will be 90%. And at that point there are better options to have.

Why are you telling everyone that its bad to have last 2 rewards and nothing about helios? It is because helios is what you dont have? Its first time i looked someone profile and you indeed have crisis and armadillo so that explain everything. Let f2p tankers have some fun too 

im f2p, thats why im telling others to not to acquire crisis and armadillo 
these will eat your supplies and crystals like petrol/diesel from a car. very fast and very expensive to get in current economy 

helios i wont use cuz my rico is mk7, scorpion is da boss

Im f2p and im telling that we dont care about crisis eating supplies when most will probably use it once per day, f2p tankers arent dumb thats why they didnt spend 1000e to get something that can get for 1k tankoins. 1000iq.

we will see, i will be here watching......... 

[avengeful 111]

[wild001 1,422]

As a free player, 10k supplies should be enough to have fun once a while in holiday events for criss

( yes, i know nitro is low, because of trickster usage in last event, but it will save back to 5k before next event thanks to 22 unlucky container)

NOOOO ARMADILLO IS IS N-N-NOT USELESS ITS SO GOOD IT                      Armadillo is useful only in DM
DOES NOTHING PLS UPGRADE UPGRADE IT!!!!!!!!!                                            Kimura.

armadillo users in this forum.

 

 

Also amazing fair battles? uh.. you know that buyers can counter everything in this fund easily right....? and

Hyperthing thunder.

Actually being able to use Crisis without selling your soul for supplies.

Armadillo 50% OH WAIT ITS USELESS.

Buyers more than likely have 50% prots against everything. rico, shaft, thunder all that.

New toys for thunder that will be in exotic later this month.

Scorpion OP alt. being able to actually to use it.

most F2P won't have immunities and 50% prots to counter all these new shenanigans in MM and you'll just get oneshotted by helios oh sorry tesla pulsar oops i meant vacuum cleaner thunder.

I know F2P players who got crisis and became Mr 5k GS at legend and the only thing they buy is supplies. pretty sure in their mind they were using crisis "correctly".

Still think its fair?

 

[yellowghetto 3,206]

Okay, you f2p players, all the Crisis owners here who own the Drone and are warning about its costs are not exaggerating. 

Sure, if you get to the Drone good for you, but be warned. It doesn't effect Repair Kits or Mines, yet it takes THREE of the Supply.
 

• Crisis has a TWO second cooldown before switching modes, if you are at level 0. Level 20 is where you can bring the switch time down to 0.5 seconds.
• Crisis, like Trickster, has hidden stats for speed mode. You will accelerate and slow down slower, no joke. It will be harder to control your Hull if you go too fast.
• Switching each time takes THREE of the supply. So that is 150 Crystals per switch. Before using it in battle, think about how many crystal worth of supplies you will end up spending, and will it be worth it to use, if you don't place high on leaderboards?
• Crisis limits you to one supply type at a time. It really helps long range Turrets since they typically don't need to worry too much about taking damage. If you are using Crisis to attack/close range, be prepared to spam supplies as it is sort of a suicide mission.

I'm sure there are multiple reasons Opex and his team would put Crisis and Armadillo in the fund in the first place.

1) He wants to dangle the rewards, get more players to spend.

2) Maybe wouldn't think we would actually get this far.

3) If we do, people who get their hands on the good stuff will use more supplies and it's all part of his scheme to make people go broke so they buy more conts, and supplies. 

So if we do reach Crisis, I'd just keep it to own it as collection. It's not worth using at high ranks on my accounts.

 

We are so close to Armadillo. I can't use it on my alts either because I simply can't afford it. It does basically nothing until Mk7, which is already a fortune.

 

Edit: If you read this far, follow up with my comment just a little below this one.
