The fact that they take notes from Genshin is concerning...

[ace_digimon 3]

These rubies is a terrible idea, i suspect they gonna release some new stuff that you can only obtain by paying for it (like how they making premium pass available for tankcoins, but you will only be able to buy tankoins and can't earn them in any way)

 

like how some skins in genshin impact can not be bought by primogems (free currency) but with genesis crystals (which can only be bought by paying with real money)

 

the greed knows no bounds

Edit: i just remembered they also didn't give any promo code in this new tanki V-LOG 511

[Hypersomnia 1,695]

Haven't yet seen anything about rubles i mean rubies but looks like another Gacha Game mechanic copied. 

this game was never intended to be a gacha game i do not understand whats the point of copying them? yes they make MONEY MONEY but thats because they were gachas from day 1 and people playing gachas expect gacha mechanics. in this game its like going to grocery store and needing a slot machine win to get 5 apples. sure it works but just because it works doesn't mean it has to be here. stupid update.

not just Genshin but other Gachas too. Also literally every other game you can think of. Hell everything they add they always go "X feature is from X game" they dont even bother trying to cover up the update as original anymore. 

EDIT:
so another pointless update nobody asked for. it's literally just extra step for buyers to buy something and nothing else. A million excuses for an update but if you do the same gold box shenanigans with tankoins you literally have this new update without adding a 3rd currency. 

yet another L for tank game

(i can smell the further "updates" that'll make this way more p2w from a mile away)

[the_hunter 7]

what about the event pass (the 700 tk to join minigames ??) they did not mention it at all 

 

i have a feeling that they will just leave it as it is (in tankcoins) so (f2p) players will not be able to participate in any minigames (because as they said you won't be able to get tankcoins from playing now , you just earn rubies ) 

 

hopefully not 

[Karot 251]

Okay, so this ruby currency works just as well as Tankions and is worth the same as Tankions the only difference is that you can earn them in battles missions mini games, etc. It seems kind of pointless to add a currency that is similar to another currency. But at the end of the day, It seems to benefit the players more so than the game.

[CocoleVG_tanki 40]

Oh well.

I wondered how they'd compensate all the tankcoins from the "we're sorry" missions.
There was quite a considerable amount given out in total. Hell, I even created alts to claim free tankcoins back when you didn't even need to play the game to claim them.

Guess that's how it is then, I should have wasted those coins on the (bad-mid) events they proposed since then to make us waste our free cash.

But eh! That means that maybe now the events will be better (tankifunds in particular)!

 

Back to sleep I go.

[kfmn6 3]

knowing from the episode: rubies: 1. take the place of tanki coins (some places)

                                                                 2.more chances to earn rubies

                                                    coins:  1. something will only available for coins

                                                                 2.exchange rate: 1:1

now two currency tells players apart (buyers/normal players)

personally predict:

                                     for normal players/for rubies: 1. never have the chances to buy some certain things or participate some certain activities (already know:                                                                                                  vip). 

                                                                                              2.as the chances to earn rubies becomes more easily, you can earn more rubies. so the price to buy                                                                                                               items will become more  expensive. 

                                      for buyers/for coins:                 1.as the inflation of rubies, your coins will inflate too. what’s worse: only pay real money can get                                                                                                                       coins.

                                                                                             2.you can never get coins from playing and new certain items still need coins. now you need keep paying                                                                                                       to keep getting certain items. not just a bunch of crystals to exchange. 

so i'm worrying and need to be answered: 1.the rubies can’t buy certain things. so some op arguments boosters activities or equipment will only for buyers.                                                                                   totally p2w?

                                                                                2.we actually earn more rubies. but will there be some form of inflation? if it happens, we really earn more rubies?

                                                                               3.because of the change rate between rubies and coins, the inflation of rubies may affect coins. it means that                                                                                         we  need pay more. or the change rate will follow the inflation?

                                                                               4.why not just transfer buyers’ coins to rubies? only when buying something requires extra coins, buyers can                                                                                          exchange their rubies to coins to fill up. in this way, you can easily know how many “pay” coins spend and won’t                                                                                    affect anything.

 

can you confirm: 1.the price of items, activities, rate of keys, won’t inflate.------------------make sure you really earn more rubies

                                2.all activities, pass, boosters and new items (argument, protection, etc...)

                                  still available for rubies or crystals.------------------make sure not totally p2w

                               3.the exchange rate between rubies and coins won’t change. the price to buy coins won't change------------------make sure stable                                              currency

 

or tell me: scam? or scam ！

more exactly

[Sharva 89]

This update is truly nice... I'm really happy that the devs decided to implement it in the game. Now it will finally be possible to earn the hard currency in the game from battles as well, which will greatly benefit all the players. For this update to be effective though, a key requirement is that there needs to be a plentiful amount of Rubies we can earn from each battle, otherwise this update will have a negligible effect. I think 20-50 Rubies per battle would be a great value. Maybe even 10-15 Rubies could be appropriate if we play many battles daily, given the current prices of all the bundles and passes in the shop.
Nevertheless, I'm eagerly waiting for this update to arrive in the game!

[Tattoti 26]

 This will be a great addition to the game especially to attract the newer players. I’m happy for this new movement forward for tanki as an older player.

RUBI BOXES 

[XxAnglexX 18]

@kfmn6 Item prices in games may rise as the in-game economy evolves. Similar to real-life economies, when players can easily acquire large amounts of currency, game administrators might increase prices to maintain economic balance. This logic applies equally to the economy within the tanki, I believe that in the initial months after introducing the Ruby currency, most players would have limited Rubies, and thus prices would remain similar to before. However, over time, to cope with an increasing number of "wealthy players," the game's administrators will likely raise item prices. My prediction is that when purchasing the same item, players will not only need to pay the usual amount of Tank Coins but may also be required to pay additional Rubies.

[B.AN 2]

Bruh they're about put 1 ruby in the gold box and be like, "oh yeah, but we satisfied the player want for a free way to get hard currencies"

[Xsader 37]

There are two quintessential features that clearly define Tanki Online and distinguish it from the bunch - ONLY REAL PEOPLE play here and we have ONLY ONE CURRENCY, obtained from participating in battles (or via cash if someone is lazy enough).

So, dear devs - please, do not forget and/or underevaluate these two major pillars, that form the very core and foundations of our game - if you change any of these, then the game can no longer be referred to as Tanki Online!

[WieLKo-PoLski 318]

Rubies reminded me of Minecraft, where they were meant to be a currency for trading, but were abandoned in favor of emeralds 

I guess it's good there's something new added to this game and those rubies seem to be a very interesting feature. Like those things to buy with real money will be obtainable by Tankoins and what used to be obtainable for Tankoins now you can obtain by spending rubies. And Tankoins will be obtainable for real money only. We will see how it will look like in the game and if players are going to like it.

Good that the exchange of Tankoins for Rubies will be one-to-one when we want. Not like it was with keys conversion 10:1. 

Amazing that rubies can be earned in MM battles from Ruby Boxes. But I consider it pretty sad that Mega Gold Boxes will be gone. No more possibility to get 10k crystals by taking only 1 box  R.I.P Mega Gold Boxes

I'm wondering when exactly the rubies will be added to game, how many rubies will there be in Ruby Box, if there will be Ruby Box festive skins and how many rubies we will earn from battles.

The conversion is one to one. You can convert your tankoins to rubies anytime you want. Watch the whole episode before ranting, will ya?

[It_Aint_Too_Late 144]

So basically: Rubies replace tankoins completely, with addition of earning them in battles. This is a plus point, and can the forum rant masters understand this now please? It is said that it is primarily done for them to do better accounting and marketing. At least they're honest with their intentions this time. 

[Venerable 2,967]

so...

crystals, tankoins, shards(?), anything else I might have missed, and now rubies. 

I want toilet paper instead! 3 ply!!!

[Incorp 2,084]

My eyes were tired so i thought it was 'rubles' at first lol

 

Anyways ig it is a good update(?) But i dont really like the design of rubies, they are so boring and dull compared to tankoins and crystals

 

After actually watching the vlog i gotta say its a pretty good idea. But nevertheless players still looking for the negative side. Lol. We got some serious trust issues

Rubies! Wow this is an amazing development. I'm very appreciative of tanki developers who spent countless hours working hard to make this game enjoyable! I can't wait to see this new currency in game. Amazing new items!

what are these weird crystal boxes in  special mode

[WieLKo-PoLski 318]

Those are Crystal Boxes, which give you 10 Crystals and 10 xp points while taken. Mainly they are in ranks below Master Sergeant, but this time they appear in the special mode.

I think developers decided to add them in that special is to fill maps with something since supply boxes and supplies are OFF.

Although they don't give a lot of crystals (Especially for players with Legend ranks), I consider them as nice variety of that mode.
