since we face each other, and there is no one losing, I think we should help each other

everyone use this set up so we can all win with 1 silver contract

Not lucky!

My opposite Game Field looks like this:

The Mine is already defused.

Any suggestion for the next move?

No offense, but judging by your crystal and coins count, you look awfully broke for this event

I bought lots of silver contracts already haha 

[Incorp 2,084]

Wow i like how the recent events draw players to the forum. Good job!

[Boneless 4]

This event would be good if you didnt make people go tankcoin broke .

You sould win at least 4 score points for each battle to this event be balanced ,or at least have more missions with energy rewards .

You don't seem like you need any help, you have already won one battle as I see, so you clearly know what to do.

 

I STILL haven't won even one match yet as I am struggling to find the time to get the units of energy required to destroy the opponent's Battle Tanks, or maybe it's because I never played Battle Ships as a child  in which case I suck at this minigame 

 

I am curious about something though, if you don't mind me asking; how many units of energy did it take you to win your first battle?

What I have been doing is attacking squares that are directly next to a square with a dot in it, as due to the spacing requirement and the fact that you must place all 7 objects on the battlefield. It is reasonable to assume that at least some of the tanks are next to a square with a dot in it (an empty square).

 

For instance, in the layout shown in the tutorial, the red line indicates empty (vacant) squares which are equivalent to the grey dots you see on your opponents battlefield.

Spoiler

So if you attack next to those empty squares (which I indicated by green crosses) you are likely to hit something .... eventually. For the tutorial case above it would hit the juggernaut.

 

If I were you I would attack the squares all around the enemies' mine, starting at the centre of the battlefield (as this is the most probable region to find a tank). Then, work your way around the mine to the edges. 

 

There is no right or wrong way to play this as ultimately it depends on luck, I'm just applying basic [Logic].

I already answered this question above.

[Venerable 2,967]

I don understand... how are you guys able to complete contracts so fast? even for the previous event, completing a contract didn't give you much, so I'm completely flabbergasted and bamboozled and perplexed and vexed!

[TheCongoSpider 8,942]

From the perspective of someone trying to finish it early, this event feels poorly designed. The first improvement from the other events is that this one was free to enter and energy was even given to start off with in special missions. But being free to enter means the paywall is substituted with grinding. 

It's not immediately clear if the defenses you fight are player-generated or computer-generated. If it were player-generated then decreasing the cost of participation for everyone unknowingly falls on the players? With it being free to enter it might as well be randomised with the amount of accounts that could participate. And if it's randomised, then it's just more expensive to play it, period? Who benefits from either of those options? It doesn't make sense.

 

There is too much luck involved here. By the time I finished the first board of five, I understood what I had to do. The tanks being able to overlap boundaries makes it much more uncertain of the orientation of them. A lot of times you have to guess the orientation and that can waste your energy if you're wrong on the guess. With how easy it is to guess wrong even with strategic placements, you need to keep grinding contracts. I didn't want to spend any more Tankoins than I had to so I resorted to silver contracts hoping I get lucky enough with my guesses that I wouldn't have to spend more than 550 Tankoins.

 

Diffusing the mine is a must or else your progress is halved and your grind/overall cost is increased if not doubled. You now know where to look and start spending your limited energy. Playing it safe I did the silver contracts. They are too costly. In total it took me 1 gold contract and 15 silver contracts (11 paid with full price). 570,000 crystals and 48,000 reputation points just for 10 event coins. That is too much, even if this was someone's main game. If I were luckier with my orientation guesses, it would have been a bit less. If I were unluckier, it would have been even more.

If you didn't want to grind for so long or you didn't have the equipment necessary to go through all of that reputation points grinding, you'd have the more convenient option of the gold contracts. And that's where the event becomes worse than the previous ones. You'd be spending much more Tankoins to get an augment than the previous events. An uncomfortable amount if you're unlucky with guesses. So the event became more expensive and grind heavy at the same time. I'm not going to pretend like the rewards justify the prices. All of the augment options being in exotic doesn't say a whole lot. For a number of them it's simply their state of being in exotic and not necessarily that they're breaking the game, like Uranium Shells for Scorpion or Large Calibre Pellets for Hammer.

 

Finally after more than a year you made good on the promise of module event prizes for players under General rank but it's in an event like this. Who is this event really targeted towards? The average player? Players who want to grind? Medium and heavy spenders? All of the above? With everything about the way the event was designed, I pity those who went into this completely blind, using their Tankoins or crystals and finding out they may not have even had a chance in the first place. I can't recommend someone to participate in this event even if it has an augment they want badly. It is too costly with time, crystals and/or Tankoins to get it. And you'll never be sure if your darling augment you've spend so long wanting and finally have an opportunity to get is nerfed either directly or indirectly in near future patches. 

 

I can only hope it gets easier for players joining late if they know where to seek information.

Keep ruining the fun. Many people are playing smart and discovering patterns to spend less tankoins. What's wrong with that?? I know this company needs money but for us, ressources are limited, especially that even a silver contract is expensive. Can't even talk about a golden one which is 990 tankoins, like if it was an event pass for a tanki fund where you're almost guaranteed to get everything but in thise case, it's not even guaranteed

Work smarter not harder. We've informed as many players as possible. If you're living under a rock, well it is what it is. It's not our fault is people don't want to socialize and get informed further about this game

If you don't see any wrongdoing in your actions, don't attack me for giving you the same.

[Only_Event 252]

@Opex-Rah What about Taspen and ShinesOfSun? Will they get any punishment?

Again, it's called ''Work Smarter, not harder'' ahh strategy. Why would we be willing to spend almost all our energy to just win 1 battle, but instead we can get some shortcuts and save some. If the reason behind patching it is money, well grow up  and move on (no offence), try not to be selfish toward players, they're not robots who needs to spend all their money on this game. Also, why nerfing some smoky augment where you can nerf striker vacuum shell and vulcan large caliber, most OP augment right now?
