Container System update

Recommended Posts

Yet again another level of unneeded and unasked for complexity to the game… why can’t containers just have all the contents/rewards of prior events? Keep the old system, and not have players need another form of currency to do things

The reasoning is just incorrect, but they had to put a reason. The real reason is probably they are just wanting to add a new type of currency as stated above.

So am I losing my collection of old containers ? ?

And what about weekly containers, also every 10 weekly containers are going to be converted to 1 weekly key? cuz there might be more ''value'' in normal container keys but what is the more value in weekly container keys ?

as stated above, devs could just add all posible rewards in containers, no need for new currency

good thing you can get skin key out from uktra cont, and ultra key from nornak cont

I was assuming this update would come up with that the start of new challenge coincides Friday which on calendar would be 1st of December. Anyways, It is definitely an amusing update.  ?

Q: would all the remaining containers of this challenge be converted to the keys?

When I first heard about the planned update, I wasn't too excited, because I thought you would need to obtain both Keys AND Containers. When I learned that you only collect Keys, I was more open to this update.

 

My thoughts:

Pro: Cool graphics and animations.

 

Pro: You can earn Keys in one event and spend them in another, making it possible to skip exotics you don't like/already have, and hold out for ones you actually want in the future.

Con: To 'compensate,' there will (most likely) be less Keys available during events, compared to the amount of Containers in previous events.

 

Pro: Keys may now be found inside Containers.

Con: While Skin Keys in Ultra Containers are nice, an important quandary to address is that an upgrade to an Ultra Container from a regular Container may not be beneficial. We know that Skin Keys are exotic, but the rewards also guarantee an exotic item (yes, unless you have them all). However, Ultra Containers are not so. For example, if Ultra Keys are epic rarity, you could open a regular Container and obtain an Ultra Key (epic rarity), then open the Ultra Container and receive 100 mines (uncommon rarity). In such case you would probably be left feeling cheated (quite reasonably so).

QUOTE from article: "The value of Keys is higher than Containers, so conversion occurs according to the formula: 10 Containers give you 1 Key"

Uhm sorry what is this yolo attitude. Why don’t you tell us what the true value formula is between key and container, so we can make an informed choice as whether to open our stock or not before conversion? Per stated info this is now a blind guess. Some ppl have a big stock.

Sick conversion rate... 10 containers = 1 key, that means if I work hard and try to farm 1000 containers, I'll get only 100 keys, scammy conversion, no one's gonna convert their container to keys. @Opex-RahChange it to 1 container = 1 key pls

Tbh it kinda is needed

I'd rather have a key which would make it at least more similar to other gacha type games, need a bit of consistency. I just hope the rates are a bit more transparent.

Also, let's not forget, the current system has a mid 15 forced pity rare/epic. that would mean 1 batch of specials would feed only one, but getting extras would be fairly useless like the current saved ones I have, which have a very slim chance of actually rewarding something good. A continuous batch, in theory would maintain the last rarity and chain onwards. 

The only thing to worry for is, how are container mission rewards gonna change, which is so far not fully disclosed, but assumingly will have a reduced key amount, Hopefully still maintains 15 per event. And maybe a meaning to rankup rewards I wonder?

Well, for people who have empty pools, effectively they are dead supply containers, a 10-1 for a better ratio to have updated items is fairly okay.

 

OR you can simply not worry about it and just open your containers rn as is? If you have been saving, it's simply to hoard since the current container system does not actually get overridden unless mainly removal of items or tanki accidentally not changing the iteration.

So if 1 key is worth 10 containers,

for open 1 container you need 11 containers ,

when I open this blessed container will I get the reward of 11 containers? or always 1000 crystals

I don't know but a change is not always positive for those who get the money.

----------------

Tanki wants to know my opinion, Dear tanki, I prefer to open the containers when I want since I pay to get them.

1000 crystals obviously

The probability of getting a key from a container will be probably less than 5%, so 95% of times you will still be getting crap rewards.

The statement "The value of keys is higher than containers" is a complete joke of its own.

Well if this update  (with good intention behind) will be same as that where they changed protection that we can upgrade them by 1 % but increased prices massively  then RIP free to play players getting some good augment for turret or hull. They removed free augments from battlepass now its just bunch of containers instead, I doubt they wanna actually make game more balanced through availabilty of augments ? so it will (imo) be harder to get something and that conversion ratio 1:10 is suggesting that as well.
