True, but it is at 35 level and there is a time.

Well...

I would rather pay full price (which is just 20% more) for the battle pass, knowing that I will definitely get it and have control over which challenge it's going to be.

If you want to blame someone, blame the community for asking for more levelled prizes, here we have it, mostly filler items.

I should have known something like this would've happened. What players don't realize is that the devs really do listen to players. The unfortunate part is that they listen to the wrong group of players.

If you are not low on tk, then there is no real reason to not buy into this, all signs prove into the offer being more than currently valid as it stands even.

I don't know. It has 50 tiers and the only main rewards it has are 2 skins, 2 augments, 1 skin container, and a battle pass.

Just call them what they really are. And what they really are is filler.

And a super lazy one. Heck, even adding existing animated paints or garbage loot boxes will be better than that. The Devs just like: "Let's just make a few PNGs of solid color that we randomly picked from the color wheel. Surely some idiots will go for them, right?"

If you really are expecting around more than 5 solid prizes for 990 tk, i don't know what to say, that in itself is pretty greedy. But then, it was tanki that spoiled players thoughts with the initial tankifunds itself. Yet to see more blaster shot effects appear etc too; they could have easily put more augments, but this is probably just a gauging test for the devs.

A skin container in itself is far more valuable, but yes, being that high ranked, with a small spending playerbase, almost makes it unobtainable. But a reminder, the entry fee for the small offer, is still 990 tk, and the entry fee for the 2nd bundle was also reduced, mainly targeted towards those players who have won a few tankifunds.

These funds are there to rinse out the token of apology accounts in the past, if this one doesn't go well, which is to be expected, they'll simply increase the quality of the next rewards and maybe keep the number of levels, since they would likely want to keep a fair set of levels.

The main reason these tankifunds started getting complete is due to the token of apology given last year which skewed up so much. This may likely be the one to kill off most of the tokens, or they've already been killed off. 

[Devoid 2,601]

I think we've all been corrupted by prior Tanki Funds; that's why there is such a large volume of negative feedback regarding this one.

A couple years back, when Tanki Funds were first introduced, this rendition would've been considered decent by the standards of the time. However, since there have been multiple funds since then that have been packed with objectively better rewards, it's caused a craving for a specific level of rewards that, honestly, has more-or-less turned into a necessity to fulfill such wants on the Developers' part. Through that, it is understandable to see the backlash of hatred, as this fund is objectively a digression in terms of satisfying Players' wants.

 

I think the Developers made a grave mistake in judging the player-base's interests when it comes to Tanki Fund rewards this time around. I think they saw a large proportion of people criticizing the repetition of multiple Pulsar augments given each time around in recent funds, and simply ran too far with this knowledge - to a point where they swung the pendulum so far in the opposite direction of too many variations in rewards that they dug themselves a nearly identical hole to lay in and be swarmed with disapproving backlash.

I personally hope the Developers decide to run another survey (one very similar to the one we recently were able to complete for a reward of 300 Tankoins) that is specifically designed to collect Players' thoughts regarding this Tanki Fund. I think this will give them intel that can be very useful in avoiding a situation where Players are unhappy with these special reward campaigns. That might just be my interest and expertise in the Data Analytics field speaking though...

I've only taken part in the last fund and this fund. I've missed my chance with the 2022-2023 winter esports fund. And the rest, I never had enough tks to take part in any.

The last fund I participated in was also disappointing. 5 pulsars and 3 legacy skins.

This fund is more disappointing though due to how much filler there is.

Welp the fund sucks so much in the viewpoint of a casual f2p player, that no one will get 5 solid prizes. It will more likely be just 2, one of which isn't even unique to this fund. 

 

This fund could easily reach 40 million with better rewards. I'm probably not the only one, but I'm completely sitting this one out. There's nothing better to spend tankoins on right now, but the casual f2p player earns 1000-1500 tankoins a year so it would be better to save. Good luck washing out tankoins with this garbage. It's like a fisherman thinking they can catch anything with their worst bait.

it has already reached 10 million. For me it reaches 20 it is enough. I need smoky pulsar augment.

Yep, the token gave around 3.7k tankoins, so I guess most players only collected 3k of that. This is the 3rd fund since, so most of accounts are drained. Some players have certainly collected all 3.7k, earned more from missions and challenges and also got 300 from survey and 150 from mobile token. That is enough for 4th fund, but there will certainly be less of them. Then only those who won will be able to participate in more funds, unless we see a token of apology again. With ~15% win rate in funds, that's approx. 50% of players who win at least one fund and is able to buy more. On the other hand, some of the remaining 50% might buy it with real money, but certainly not many.

I'm still hoping to see this fund reach skin container, but I guess we are slowly losing hope as the progress is very slow. Maybe this weekend it jumps by another 10 mil as more players come online, but it's not looking good. The tankoin rate will go down more and more and probably stabilize somewhere under half a million per day (judging from old funds before tokens), but that's not gonna get us even close to 30-40m.

I guess only another token of apology can "save" us.

[TargetXAcquired 277]

Just goes to show that if players have to dig deep from a cash perspective then the fund, or any prizes no matter what the event have to be "WAY BETTER."

Containers are crap. Even before the big nerf to them they were packed full of useless, idiotic paints and shot effects.

The game is broke, has been for a very long time. From augments to floating trash cans used by braindead players who no life their mobile's, to the useless MM and the constant server loss, this game exacts a high cash price for very little reward. 

The game is dead, same old, same old.

[krokorok 837]

When you have a pessimistic playerbase like Tanki has, a lot of these rewards come around as underwhelming, and sadly most of them are.

Containers have become very disappointing for many players, and so many dont really see any value in them, because the chances of getting anything good are pretty low, despite the fact you are getting a good amount of them, probs even more than you would get from battle pass on higher levels.

The paints come around as extremely lazy. They destroyed the value of paints a long ago, by adding absurd amounts of them at the same time, so it does not surprise me at all, still its a shame that a department that can produce pretty good and interesting banners is only capable of this,I can understand that banners and ingame paints parameters that work for tanks are different, but this is just peak of laziness to me.

The 1m to fund is also not motivating to many people because after not being picked for several times in a row, they have the mindset that extra tankoins in a poll just wont benefit them in any way.

The nuclear supplies are defo not incentive since many people have a bunch of them and dont even use them anyway.

Extra module slots are also very useless to most of the high ranked player base.

With that said, most people see value only in 10 or so steps in the higher supposedly unreachable steps.

This kind of perspective, that I bet many in the playerbase have, makes it hard to motivate oneself to actually buy any of the offers.

 

[TargetXAcquired 277]

I am not sure when, or if the devs will ever act on player feedback that has "RELEVANCE" to the game. By constantly ignoring players views/wishes, this game has for a very long time been going downhill at a alarming rate. 

I have never seen a fund go so slow as this one. It's time for a major re-think by the devs, starting with sorting out "ALL" the glaring issues that affect the game in a negative way and there are absolutely dozens of them that they just have not addressed.

Chill. The fund is bad but you dont need to make hyperbolic statements like this to get your point across. It hurts your credibility.

 

The prior winter fund was stuck around 12 million before the token. The prior summer esports fund was the first ever to max out. The 2 funds before it hit 10 million in totality.

Agreed. If it gave us like 3 animated paints and 4 paints from the epic category, that would be much better. The other four can be these lazy paints.

1 slot per fund is enough. The other two spaces can be used for better things.

It is gonna be a shame if we can't make it to the higher levels (which is expected), kinda did want the hunter driver augment on my recruit account for the saving and the other warrant officer one accounts I have, not that easy to get hull augs at lower ranks, atleast smoky gt is guaranteed, unfortunately the recycling of smoky pulsar doesn't help any of my alts cuz they already have it from older tankifunds; guess it's still a better use of tk for accounts i don't really play on and just collect/get lucky on.

[soviet.reunion 76]

Tankifunds have been the only thing that has kept me playing for over a year. The only thing that motivates me to play through these terrible battles is my desire to save up enough tankoins for the next fund... and It did feel like I had to go through hell to get just enough tankoins for this fund. and this is the rubbish I get. I really don't think I'll be playing anymore after this. I lost interest in the game after all my friends whom I used to play with joined the russian army and switched to playing tanki in real life, and I think I may as well just go join them there. 

[Gabku 194]

You know what's funny? The devs realized most players already got armadillo and crisis, hence they did not put them in this fund. However we still have the 3 module slots as prizes. If they see no reason to put crisis/armadillo in the fund, why don't they remove the module slots as well?? It's not like they are stupid and can't realize nobody needs them.. My assumption is that they deliberately made this fund cheap, they know exactly what they are doing, and just refuse to care. In my opinion they literally just want to see how low most players would go before refusing to pay even the smallest price for the fund. So guys, stop encouraging players that the fund is worth it, if you never say no then tanki will only continue to give worse and worse rewards since they can get away with it. If you want to see better funds in the future, you have to not buy this fund!

I don't understand why so many people say that this fund is not good because the content of the 50 layer reward is not as converted as before? What are the benefits of repeatedly receiving too many skins and conversions that we have already received? The module slot can be roast, but it is not a reason not to buy this fund. Last time, there were too many repeated rewards for the fund, and many people could still buy it. This time, only one Pulsar was repeated, but no one bought it. The last time someone bought a fund, they could reach at least 45 floors, but now they only have 12 floors in so many days.I personally think this fund is better than last time because there are more ultra containers and there is a skin container. The skin container is really much better than the specified skin because the specified skin is probably already owned, and the skin container is suitable for every player who does not have all the skin.Some people may think that these camouflages have no effect, I want to say: yes, they don't, but for some of us who like to collect various skins and camouflages, this is really great!Isn't the most important thing about the fund the lottery part of the final live broadcast? Even if you are not someone who can charge a lot of money, you can buy a 990 bundle, which is not a loss, because you not only receive some props, but also the rewards of the fund. Wouldn't it be better if you were lucky enough to win?

Not gonna comment on the tons of grammar mistakes but please, if you want to convince others, at least make yourself sound convincing.

Why a lot of people said this fund is not good? That's simple, isn't it? Because the expected reward doesn't justify the 990 tank coin cost.  It's that simple.

Because last time, there were 5 freaking pulsars!!! People are not mumbling about repeated rewards. People are ranting on there were way too many pulsars in one single fund.

 

Quote

I personally think this fund is better than last time because there are more ultra containers and there is a skin container.

I'm not sure whether you know how loot boxes work, but FYR, exotic rewards have about 1% to drop. Good luck with getting anything meaningful out of your 39 ultra containers, assuming you reach the 47th tier, which let's be honest, it's impossible. The same goes for your lovely skin container, which is in the 45th tier. And in case you didn't notice, no, you can't control what skin it drops.

 

Quote

The skin container is really much better than the specified skin because the specified skin is probably already owned, and the skin container is suitable for every player who does not have all the skin

Oh? What about those who don't care about cosmetics at all? Or those who only like a selected few of the skins, when the container contains 10+ skins that they don't really like or care about?

 

Quote

but for some of us who like to collect various skins and camouflages, this is really great

Well good for you. I hope you didn't buy the fund because any sensible person would know that the skin container is virtually impossible to reach before the fund even started.

Even if you are not someone who can charge a lot of money, you can buy a 990 bundle, which is not a loss, because you not only receive some props, but also the rewards of the fund. Wouldn't it be better if you were lucky enough to win?

Oh yeah. Competing with a guy (regardless of whether that's a player or a dev) who created over a hundred accounts just to win the fund? Well, good luck.

You are right in a sense. How this business is still here is a miracle in itself. And yes, this has to thank those people who are willing to pay 3k Euros just to get an XT drone.
