then be prepared for the decrease in the number of active players and the west and closing of the game then

You don't go to a restaurant saying "I will pay you 1€ for a whole day's meal" either

Well, that's how you spend money and that's good. However, some others want their tanks to look cool and are ready to donate their money to get skins, and that's also good. Our offer, your choice. 

man is there any other way i can participate in the event? well I don't have 900 tankoins lol

event looks really nice, it is really creative, good job tanki

 

although some people think this is expensive, just look: you have a chance to get 2 unique augments, skin cont, titan SP and 15 ultras

this is far better then offers in shop

 

i just have a question: there are 17 special "box" missions, on announcement is written they appear on every consecutive day. that probably means, first mission appears on friday, second on saturday and so on... tell me if i am wrong

 

so you get 17 boxes, with a lot of luck 17 different parts. but that doesnt mean you will get 3 rewards for sure, you can have for example 20 parts, but 4 for every colour

so here is good you have an option for exchanging, 50 tcs is not that much

that concept is close to arcade event in december/january

 

personally i wont take part in event, since i dont have tons of tcs, i dont use hoopper or titan and i can get just some random skin from hipothetically earned skin cont

 

have fun fellas

You are complaining when skins are only available in Ultra containers for 280€ worth of tankoins and when you can get a SteamPunk Skin and a Skin container for less than 1200 Tankoins which is less than  6 bucks, but you are still barking over it. If you can't afford it, just don't buy it, it's just cosmetics no one is forcing you.

Oh cmon, 100 tankoins for a chance to get a premium SteamPunk skin, and a Skin Container? No way

900 tankcoins so I can get all the same pieces of the tank I already have and I am left with nothing. I try to exchange with friends but again it costs 50 tankcoins. Rather not get scammed. The possibility of getting the skin, with all oter prices is very low, if you only but the pass and finish missions.

This event isn't for poor people so you guys should stop dreaming. Your job is to be cannon fodder so hush and keep serving your role as target practice.

 

As far as actual value, this is actually attractive for buyers. 5000-6000 tankoins can probably win you all the prizes in this event (15 uc's + 4 exotics)

Now put that in perspective. 22,990 tankoins for 290 ultras probably equates to 2 or 3 exotics at best.

Or elite pass: 2,330 tankoins for 1 exotic skin

It's actually a good deal

 

For you poor people, stop complaining and go back to your target practice responsibilities :azn:

I honestly think that's a bit too cheap relatively, surely it'll cost a lot more, this is tanki remember

im not sure. You only need 25 distinct pieces to build out the  5 tanks.

Purchase the event bundle twice + 17 missions from entry bundle gets you over 40 pieces. (This would cost 5000 tk so far)

Another 1000 tk budgeted for trades.

 

Of course, tanki could just make some pieces incredibly rare (ex. only 10 yellow tanks will be built the entire event). But then again, that's a "risk" entrants will have to acknowledge if they decide to participate

A new format of minigame, interesting.
I'm leaving my wall of text in spoiler, open at your own risk.

Also a warning - all of this assumes that:

- each part has equal chance to drop

- reward for an unlocked tank is random (so for example if you open 15 UC under yellow tank, another player might open it under blue one). This also kind of works if the rewards were given in pre-set order, so that your first completed tank always gives you one specific reward.
- you can exchange only once per day. It was possible to change multiple times earlier and idk if it was fixed or if it's intended to be able to exchange more times... this post assumes it's fixed 1 per day.

Spoiler

So first of all, 900tk to participate.
Free ways to obtain boxes:

17 from missions

basically unlimited for crystals, the price isn't listed, which is the most important (will update this tomorrow)

12 boxes from only one bundle for 1990tk

 

Now where's the catch as usual? I don't think it's the possibility of getting duplicate parts, it's the exchange system limited to ONCE per day. The 50tk price is minimal, but you can't physically exchange more than 17 parts, while you don't even want to exchange anything for the first few days. Also you need to find a player who wants just your part, while you want theirs.

Basically, in my opinion this is going to end up like every classic trading card game, where you end up with few extra pieces of duplicate cards which nobody wants, but you still can't find the last one.

Spoiler

If I just bring up an example - lets say you bought the bundle and finished 15 missions (so there are only 2 days left). In total you have 27 tank parts. From these, you are quite likely to open maybe 15-20 unique (most likely 15 or worse) and you are left with 10 parts to trade. But you only got 2 days, so you can't trade enough anymore. You can only try to open more boxes which you can purchase ONLY by crystals and the chance to open all of the remaining parts is so slim, you'll most likely spend way too much (unless the crystal price for boxes is really low).

 

So you need to start trading earlier, right? But if you started to trade maybe 10 days before the end, the last 8 missions are almost useless, since you might again drop a duplicate of a part you already obtained by trading (or any other part you had prior). Effectively, you only have like 7 or 8 boxes and need to buy the rest to be able to start trading that early if you want to unlock all 5 rewards.

 

If your goal is getting all the reward, this might be a trap, unless you know the mechanics, buy enough extra boxes for crystals and/or tankoins and start trading not later than like 6, but maybe even 10 days before the end.

After writing all that and thinking about it, maybe there's a more efficient way to approach this.

Assuming the boxes are too expensive for crystals, the 50tk price of a swap is cheaper option. Why don't just buy boxes on day 1 until you have 8 unique parts and at least 1 extra. You might need to buy more than 9 boxes if you get unlucky, but those 12 from the bundle should be quite enough for 8 unique. Then you just start trading daily for 17 days straight. The good thing is you'll be able to get those 17 boxes for free from missions, but you'll need to find another player with a remaining part. So the last day will be pain. However, with few extra parts it might be possible to find a player even on the last day.
If you bought the bundle for 12, earned 17 from missions, you'll have 5 extra parts at the end, which greatly increases chance to find a player who has missing part and wants yours. Maybe it's even worth to buy another bundle to increase the odds even more.

 

With this approach, it should cost 3740tk + crystals for however many packs you want to buy, which isn't even that bad, considering you'll be getting a skin container, steampunk skin and soon-so-much-hated hopper and wasp drivers. Or at least the hopper one. Unless there's a surprise, I'm taking part in this, sounds like a good value to me.

 

I need to repeat it again tho - it'll be both difficult to find players early to trade parts with, and also closer to the end. You'll make your life a lot easier if you get extra 5 or 10 parts for extra flexibility.

Obviously, if you only want one or two rewards and get lucky, you can stop there and make this a lot cheaper

 

After this, I'd recommend 2 days to approach:

1) Poor + don't care - don't participate, it's most likely not worth if you don't want to spend around 4k tankoins.

2) Willing to spend 4k and go all in -  try to take the early trading approach, obtaining a part through trading should be cheaper than buying it in almost every case.

I'd not even recommend going half-in. You can go all-in early and if you get your desired rewards, stop and don't spend more tankoins if it doesn't seem worth for you anymore.

Great event packed with Tankers’ day. Definitely worth participating!
I love the idea where you can change parts with someone else and not buy more offers for random parts.

Tanki did a great job this time!?

The event looks interesting. I got a question regarding this:

Note: When opening a Box, you may receive a part that you already have"

 

Would we have more than one of that particular part or not?

For example; we have a red turret part, then we open a box and get another red turret part. Does that mean we now have 2 red turret parts?

Yes, that's why you can trade parts for 50 Tankoins each lol

Imagine if you get so unlucky that you don't get a specific part, devoid of colour event. I.e you are unable to get the turret of any colour regardless. So you wouldn't even be able to trade it if you don't own the part. Food for thought, how unlucky or lucky can you get.

I'm too lazy to read and understand this event, but as I already have less-than 2000 tankoins and I think even after thorough calculations and continues playing over the 17 days I wont get the last prizes as F2P, I wont participate in this event.. Would just complete the missions.
