I know how this will end, yet I'm hyped again. I guess it works

 

Spoiler

24 days (9 daily missions, the other didn't have it last time) = 216 from daily

210 from special

10 per move, you can do 42 steps for free from missions. How far you can get depends on length of each round, roll and -5 chances, all unknown.

Tankoin price for the currency didn't change.
Crystal price is much improved, in halloween minigame it was 66k per (in the small pack), now it is 30k per (in the biggest pack). Still, 3 steps for almost a mil is crazy, but I guess better than what we had last time. And maybe you can catch enough special goldboxes to save some of it.

The past minigame usually took something more than 1000, which costs 30m crystals. On the other hand, you can just pay a bit extra to reach the closest checkpoint for some f2p tankolns. sike, tankoins are no longer rewards in the minigame.

I would advise to save up crystals for the majority of players. Upgradable grenades are coming next year, and who know what else, so some crystals extra will definitely come in handy.

True, I got like 5 setbacks last time, couldnt even get to the third checkpoint ( keep in mind that I didnt buy any candy)  but I'm still eager for this one.
Hopefully this time's a bit better : )
Fingers crossed for checkpoint 4

Another event in which we won't get compensation for that +1 module slot when already having all 4 unlocked and for Gauss Ultra skin when already having it. Unmotivating.

Well, finally some more augments to Gauss which didn't have many of them for a long time, but it's status effect augments... and will deal those effects when only critical damage, if they don't already apply in critical damage, they will in the future... I don't know if it's motivating, future will show us.

At least we'll be able to get many crystals and Tankoins to upgrade our accounts. Kinda motivating.

Containers? Batteries?! It should be keys, not containers + batteries were removed from the game.

Skins are cool and interesting, but as a F2P player I'll wait for them to be in Legendary/Skin Container and to get them with legendary keys.

HAHAHAHAHAHHA they literally copy pasted the event info without even bothering to double check it

But no worries the buyers will spend thousands just to get a skin that doesn't fit the game but looks good I guess. (Oh nvm I'm yet to see a single ICE skin in battle and its been a year)

EDIT: lol why this got every reaction

Let's remember Hazel saids that the conversion rate was an ''experiment''. Let's find out if he was lying or not

[Gabku 194]

The portion that is accessible to f2p players is literally nothing... Not even worth my time to go to the website daily to use the gingerbreads, they can just sit there until the events ends.

[sweetwillie111 25]

Wait hold up, we getting batteries as rewards again?

Actually the rewards are better than what the winter 2023 fund would've given us.

Only reasons I'm not participating is because:

1) mostly gauss items with a couple freeze items.

2) the game is practically unplayable, and I don't feel like putting myself through it.

3) I've already decided to not put anymore money into the game. (At least until they have changed their ways which will never happen)

[Moonglow 11]

Few containers, drop rates are not equal to how the team built keys up. rewards just aren't worthwhile and playing has been so much of getting one shot every possible chance that the only way to not die is camping and thats not fun. tried a few games and its just not fun so why play.

Well, a rough 25M-30M crystals to reach the end point of it all from what I have seen. I'd rather spend that much crystals on actual supplies than a lame set of augments and skins that don't even have a complementing hull set.

This is also considering this event looks far more fair than the Halloween one, now imagine how much of a hassle the prior was. F2P's best bet is still only island 3, maybe 4 if they get a bit lucky. But still would say, this event is not worth spending a single crystal on.

I don't see how that is, can you elaborate? The fund would have given us hundreds of containers, 4+ skins, double the number of pulsar augments and 10x more nuclear energy..

For a f2p the best they can hope for is to reach island 3, maybe 4 if they get extremely lucky. But up until island 3 all we get is 1 skin (that I already have plus most people hate UT skins) and an augment that is nothing special just a fire augment probably not worth equipping.

Unless we can get dozens and dozens of ultra containers from it, it's basically nothing.

Well yeah, but its better than previous one thats the point. Now You can as a F2P with little luck reach stage 4. If you are unlucky and want that new augment for gauss now you can spent crystals and its at least somehow fair for F2P. Even for buyers its probably cheaper its move to the good direction. We all know that stage 5+ is beyond F2P.

Yup, don't need immense luck like the prior. The rewards however, imo, not worth the hassle, im only looking forward to the epic keys I can get from the steps itself.

I like gauss ultra so thats my goal. I would take also that new gauss augment but I am realistic stage 3 will probably be maximum I reach.

There foresight into ripping players off never surprises me anymore, along with the gullible that fall for it every time. Despair, anger and frustration go hand in hand with this game.

Agree.

If it's remotely possible that any F2P can get it then it's most certainly a pile of crap, that's just a given.

Which we aren't guaranteed to get something good. Just luck dependent.

On 12/29/2023 at 12:31 AM, Gabku said:

double the number of pulsar augments

That was literally the only augments the fund would give us. Even though its for just two of the turrets, the snow trap is already giving a nice variety of different kind of augments.

Honestly the first 3 islands is already better rewards than the first 16 tiers of the fund.

The 4th island is already equivalent to reaching tier 30 if not more.

Also considering that the fund would have required a total of nearly 100million tankoins to be spent to reach all 50 tiers, I'm sure the snow trap would require much less.

You saw them turn daily missions into daily chores for 3 containers that give you 3000 crystals 99% of the time for x10 more effort.

You saw them turn event missions from 15 ultra conts to 3 lol.

You saw (maybe) them add 5 million score phoenix augments bordering on MID and good for turrets and flat out unusable for hulls unless you spam nukes.

You saw them nerf challenge into who knows what from something you'd actually save your tankoins for

And you thought they'd sell x3 spins that would give you 2k crystals and maybe 2 containers (depends on the checkpoint) and thought it would cost you ONLY 100k? Come on Mr. Soothing...

@Opex-RahMr. Hazel never keeping his promise and pretending the last event like this was an ''experiment'' but at the end, the conversion rate is still crappy and scammy (as usual).... 2024 looks promising...

https://prnt.sc/p3DI9kFxkWCp between this and this https://prnt.sc/xyCPLT7FtQcV It still looks bad. Who in their right mind would buy crystals despite the crappy conversion rate?

The best conversion rate would be : x1 (10k), x10 (50k) and x30 (100k). Now if you want to believe that Hazel kept his promise about the conversion rate, it's up to you and we'll see if you'll buy crystals with that crappy conversion rate

I mean he's right... the conversion rate is better... now instead of 1 spin you get THREE!!!!!!! for the same amount of crystals! Bro x3 TIMES BETTER CONVERSION OH MY GOD THEY MIGHT AS WELL GIVE AWAY ICE GAUSS FOR FREE!!! so cheap
