Changing default settings would take effort and it doesn't really need to be altered just because they have the respective things turned off...

Not only that, applying all the status effects at the same time in critical shots makes the snowshooter ( and the mode by extension) look cooler. Or at least that's what the developers think.

7 battles just to complete daily missions? What in the actual hell?

yea todays battle was 5 battles just to do only 2 battle maps missions. it normally only takes 1 battle to complete on my other two accounts.

system has gone down hill since they changed Ricochet . I'm struggling to get kills .. how about in one battle 3 destroyed / 32 kills  another one was 5 / 23 . I change protection many a times.

@Soothing but still I don't get how I got 300 crystal for free.. I didn't have any container left and on top of that their is no reward which gives you 300 crystal 

It's from the container you saved before the key update, that means they opened everything and gave you the reward, so now you have 0 left but at least you got the reward from saving them

"The odds of this happening are small, but there will be the one legendary player lucky enough to get a new skin by opening a regular container". 

Thanks I guess.

@Soothing but how I get 300 crystal and also I don't have any container left

[Fischer 159]

So,Let's discuss this once again.

We all agree that Devs only care about money(its natural,there's no project(game) made for charity purposes) But,But,But,I will never understand why they are neglecting things that can get them more money.

If they had added new year maps,with BIG christmas eve in center,wouldn't it encourage more players to play events and possibly more players=more money? Since it's HTML5 engine they could make 3D Eve instead of 0D eve we had for years but AT LEAST WE HAD IT WE DONT HAVE EVEN THAT NOW . Absolutely no one cares about Forest winter map.

We had race map in 2015,it was big as hell but it used to be super fun,why wouldn't they return it? New year event's been so special with it's special night mode maps,which isn't dark light but some blue and it's pretty,Also gold box decorations,catching decorated gold box is a lot more fun than normal one. They made 3D gold box,wouldn't 3D new year gold box be ultra fun and good?

How could a bilboard and a drop zone give us new year's vibes? Huh,somehow we had like that bilboard and drop zones during ice age event.

Hmm,somehow in my mind it comes that we had that snowman mode 1 weeks ago for 1 weeks? 

Also i dont get why would they decrease Ultra Containers rewards to 3,literally could blow my brain up but no conclusion,if they think that it would make people buy things they are delusional LOL,players would collect those for event weeks 45-60 uc for non-buyers was a good reward.

Those things i wrote would make them more money,i dont think Hazel is that stupid and doesn't know those things,it somehow looks like he's bored w the game and wanna shut it down.

It's sad that we went from 60 UC,14 days of straight x2 funds and exp,2022 tankoins as a reward to 3 days of barely boosted funds and 9 UC reward only for 3 weeks.

 

Waiting for your replies,let's discuss.

Sincerely.

They are not delusional. 

Some of their decisions might come across/seem to be delusional, crazy, pathetic, ill-thought out, with a non caring attitude and biased towards greed, but they are not delusional.  

The devs are smart and know their player base intimately, this is why they get away with what they do, EVERY   SINGLE   TIME.

The devs (the company as a whole) is greed based and this will never change, which means screwing the players over at every opportunity will never change. 

If the majority of the player base thought and acted like myself, one of two things would happen.

1-The devs would % act on player feedback and implement some of the more rational ideas that are both good for them and players alike. 

2-If they did not then the game would lose the majority of the player base and subsequently close down forever.

To substantiate/endorse NO'2 I hardly play now and when I do I WILL NOT play any remastered map (CONSTANT LAG.) I refuse to play night mode and avoid Dusseldorf like the plague. There are many more but can't be bothered. 

I also do not care at all if I finish any mission, regardless of the rewards. As for the challenge, can't remember the last time I completed one. 

My attitude towards the game if adopted by the majority of players would guarantee changes, because the alternative(a) would impact their revenue so much they would have no choice but to act, one way or the other.

So just to reiterate all of this.

The devs ARE NOT DELUSIONAL.

We good now.

Like I said, you got the 300 crystals from the containers you saved before the key update. They mentionned they would open every single container you saved so you would have 0 left.

It was given to everyone. I assume it was so that there would be no low rank player who somehow couldn't purchase a container. I had an account with 1 crystal on it and had no way to purchase another one without playing. Those 300 crystals allowed me to purchase one, got 1,000 crystals and allowed me to keep purchasing. 

[TheCongoSpider 8,942]

I'm not understanding the new scaling of the epic containers. The drop rates of common containers are the same. The drop rates of epic containers are the same, yet the quantity is decreased? 1,000,000 crystals is now 500,000 crystals? I could only assume that was decreased for whenever they decide to add pity exotics next year as that's always crystals (10,000 for common containers, 25,000 for epic containers). 

But everything else is the same. Battle Passes are now a way to instantly gain a small portion of epic keys to add to your total. You can get epic keys from common containers intermittently. Yet their price in the shop is still the same? 

Ultra Containers were a part of a player's progression with the previous system. The current system encourages you to save them for when there is an iteration that has something in exotic that you want, but not opening them means less rewards accumulated than before. And if you do open them immediately, you get fewer of them than before. I don't understand. 

I hope in the coming months there will be changes made to make this make sense. Because right now, it doesn't.

This is hardly the case, it's mostly f2p players that come to check back on events. Event modes don't make more money themselves, they just make people consume supplies and spend on the sales.
But the shop bundles instead, and ingame monetary events i.e snowtrap, etc do.
As far as I know, players that return, hardly even look into the shop, with the current pricing band, they would never bother.

Here's to hoping this comes sooner than intended, without shafting the current batch of keys. Would be nice to have some sort of 'openings history' for like the last month atleast which would display the order of pulls. But I guess we may not ever see that coming...

I assume they're gonna somehow increase the rare container rewarding methods to help compensate ever so slightly. Since they now offer no tk, it'll be a more game friendly alternative that will not let players get new monetary items in any way or whatsover. Since the old 60 or so ultras per event somehow managed to make the game not gain enough as the stats may have shown many were getting away with exotic augs/skins often enough without the need to spend.
So they eventually, ever so slowly add ways where you get a similar amount of epic containers as you said, but via monetary purchases of elite pass and the challenge.
Becomes the casual tax to increase the minimum required living standards. This however will likely not be changed, since there are certainly enough transactions made for the epic containers to keep the delusion of it going for the players.

I keep encountering players who will call the system trash, but proceed to pay into the game for the 290's bundles etc. Gambling addicts will be what they were born to be,

they could have added a great event,it takes nothing from them,just increases player volume and more players are always better?

also they could have added good bundles as they used to not the crap ones they add on every event,new year holidays have become a common ultra weekend.

[Eithern 412]

The legendary gold rush is maybe the worst mode of the game, if you don't have crisis or other OP items you've no chances...

[Atomic_Tanker 249]

@Eithern  Not only that, there are no meteor golds this time. That's even more disappointing : (

[TheCongoSpider 8,942]

Megagold frequency is a lot higher in the event mode. A nice surprise. 

[BOMBARDUX 18]

Unfortunately this system is like a dog chasing its tail, once upon a time there were 30/40k active players who played and spent a lot of money on upgrades, there were the big clans, like the Peppers, the fathers, the Georgians, and dozens of others, held tournaments and team spirit existed, there were large coalitions that clashed in epic battles, once upon a time the game worked, then with various changes the game slowly began to be abandoned even by the same people Russian players, up to today where there are players who have no idea of the old greatness of this game and no idea of team play, now the game is slowly dissolving and this is the reason that causes the continuous changes in awards and in the solutions found by the developers, solutions that try to scrape the bottom of a now dry barrel.

When to buy 24,000 tankoins I have to spend almost 260.00 euros it is a clear sign that they have no idea of the cost of living, this is a game to have fun and not to get into debt and then get 290 containers and find 4 paint.

Dear Developers and Owners of the game, ask yourself a few questions, if the game is now deserted the cause is that it has become too expensive to maintain, you are the creators and you yourselves will soon delete it from the servers.

I'm sorry to say but this has just become a wallet trap.  I hope for better but it keeps getting worse.

Last gem that I want to highlight: you said that the keys would have given the possibility of seeing what was inside a container and therefore the exchange value of the old containers 10 green vs 1 Orange was plausible because you could see the prize you would have received, well I have never taken a single award that I previewed in the keys, and if I opened 10 green containers I would have obtained at least 10,000 crystals, but if I opened an orange one I only got 3,000, so you see, these are the innovations that make everything clear. Peace and love

What misinterpreted? what the change 10 green 1 Orange? or who said that the keys allowed you to see what was inside the chest and I could decide whether to open the containers or not?

This. That section of the containers is for you to view every single item that is possible to obtain in the container. The 3 items that you see randomly shown whenever you scroll onto the container is just 3 random things in the container selected to be shown there. It is basically saying "Hey, these containers can possibly give you this reward".

Yes, everything is clear, basically it is just a future prediction of what you could win, or we can also call it the bait to catch fish. We could also previously see a list with the prizes that could be obtained in the crates, but they invented an excuse to reduce the conteiners they gave as prizes in the monthly mini tournaments.    Peace and love
