Gold rush

Guys, I understand the frustration but a few things:

1. Marcus is just a messenger. He didn't make the event. The dev's only take feedback that benefits them so it's not like  he can do much about it outside of selling the event (it's his job). So stop shooting the messenger

2. It's nice that tanki at least has some type of special event going on all the time.... it's just that f2p players can only take part in 1 or 2 of these in a year which is really disappointing

3. Vote with your wallet. Just stop participating in these dumb p2w events and they'll have to come up with new designs to just make money off these types of events.

4. Just my 2 cents (that tanki wont care about), but the broader player base is in decline and they should be introducing low stakes events that your casual player can participate in. At some point, they *must* start introducing those to keep what's left of the player base  in this "MMO" as they advertise it. They know what I say is true..... why else would we need bots now. And... no one will play a game that is full of bots - that's not fun at all.

I do agree to the first part of your message. But saying that catching 17 gold boxes in 11 days is something "difficult" - nah, I do not agree. Of course it is not 10 units of Shamrock per gold box. If you choose the F2P way of getting Shamrock, you have to spend hours and catch a lot of gold boxes. Is it worth it? Well, it is up to each player who decides to take part. If someone's way of playing the game is spending 3-5 hours a week and do not donate any money to the game, this event is not for that player.

Dude, catching 17 normal gold boxes in 11 days is a relatively easy task. However, you missed the whole point by a mile. Here's what I said:

you must catch 17 SHAMROCK gold boxes to be able to get the ''pulsar'' augment for firebird (I didn't consider nuclear sups as broken items).

I hope that you realise how difficult this is, realistically.

Even at increased drop rates, gold boxes don't drop every minute. Now, SHAMROCK gold boxes have a decreased rate of dropping as compared to normal gold boxes. As if this wasn't enough, you aren't sure if you will be the one who will catch the gold box. Moreover nearly each one of us is sure that you will get 1 shamrock per shamrock gold.

Having taken these things into consideration, you will need to catch 170 more SHAMROCK gold boxes to get the ''pulsar'' augment (let's assume that it's broken). Marcus, for this time, I beseech you to unite your remaining braincells to be as realistic as possible when replying to the following question:

Do you think that it is an easy task to catch 170 SHAMROCK gold boxes?

Well, when the ''messenger'' is trying to make as if this event is less p2w than the "loss of control" event  because wE cAn CaTcH sHaMrOcK GoLdS, we gotta stop him because this is a lie, and a really blatant one.

Well, yeah, you have to purchase a special offer to take part in such events.

These events let you get a lot of items for a much cheaper price than if you would be opening thousands of Ultra Containers to get them.

That's how it works.

 

This one is even less "P2W" than Loss of control, because here we give you a way to get event currency by catching special goldboxes.

And like in Loss of Control, you can also purchase event currency for crystals that you can earn for free by playing the game.

Have you even read the announcement before writing your comment? :rolleyes:

but we arent getting currency point with doing daily and weekly missions. only for the special missions:(

I'm not seeing a specific price listed for the team-switch. Do we know if it's a fixed price or if it increases as the event progresses?

Super hyped for Firebird LC, been waiting for it for a very long time.

It is listed at the event site at 30,000 crystals, so it is very cheap.

No, it is not

The bundle consists of the faction change and 30,000 crystals, just like the previous change bundles. We do not know the price.

It's nice to have events. I also understand that they are for tankcoins. We have to take into account that the developer has to make money and keep people and servers or everything will be shut down

Me personally I don't like competing in these types of events Why? Because first of all the ticket to get in to the event costs 700 tankoins and for a player like me that is way too expensive I would love to have my account to be rich in tankoins and I would love to compete in these types of events but i only get like 2,000 tankoins per year what happened to the events like the Lost Of Control event or the Arcade event that only costs 100 tankoins in order to get in to the event if only Coinboxes returned to the game that way all problems would be solved. Second of all the types of rewards that you get are mostly filler rewards like supplies and regular containers maybe if you changed the types of rewards you get from the events than maybe it will attract more attention don't get me wrong I love this game iv'e been playing it since 2014 and i appreciate the devs giving us events like this but if you're going to keep making events for everyone to play you got to lower the cost of tankoins to get into the event after all everyone should be included in these events even for the ones that are new to the game.

The Art of Making Money:
 

1. Create the problem: Don't let players choose their desired team even after paying 700 tankoins

2. Sell the solution: Create a more expensive paid bundle to "help" players change their team

I suppose that main prize can be not too valuable, but rather exotic and unusual.
Good example of such reward was Zero-supply ticket or Storm painting at 2013, with 15% protection againts all turrets(for a week).
I can offer some examples of cool prizes:
Augnment for hull with protection against all effects for a week
Augnment with protection against 2 effects with some chance (for instance, it protects against stun and burning but with 50% probability)
Bong or Glebich turret (temporary), that can be used in usual battles, or even Juggernout/Terminator, if it would not too braking for balance
Some of removed drones or even a new drone
etc etc

They protest and protest against the buyers... They hate the buyers... But thanks to the buyers you play for free and receive free stuff. The game is expensive to maintain online and employees must be paid. Better shut up and enjoy what you get for free thanks to buyers.

Have a nice and free day  :)

If everyone gets to choose their own team, pretty sure everyone will wait for like 1-2 days, see which team is leading, then join that team.

Hate? Nah, I pity them. The fact that they are willing to spend 3k euro on a virtual cosmetic item shows how poorly their wealth management awareness is. Or maybe that's not even their own money.
