Is it -5 or some other number?

are you talking about how many laps , if so it will be ...  A player starts their journey on the 1st checkpoint. The mini-game ends after 6 laps — when you reach the 7th checkpoint. 

if it's the wrong answer you might need to give more info

Someone do the maths for us?

How many islands are there to finish a checkpoint?

how many Bronze / Silver / Gold contracts do we need to finish in order to get to checkpoint 7 ... for all those contracts. Roughly how many of each do we need to complete?

 

Whoever does the math ... thank you sooooo muchhhh we all love you ?

how many Bronze

with some LUCK (not getting pushed back once and only moving +1 in all of the checkpoints) you'll need to complete 1.6 MILLION points worth of bronze contracts. Might as well finish your phoenix mission lol.

as for tankoin version with the same luck you'll need around 15k+ tankoins and for silver its 5 million+ crystals spent.

17 steps 1 checkpoint

10 candy =1 steps 

10 candy = -4 steps 

10 candy= +1 bonus 

so approx 17X10=170 in 1 checkpoint 

170X6 =1020 lolipops 

1020/50=20 .4 gold contract 

1 gold contract = 990 tankoins 

990X20.4= 20196 tankoins (minimum)

Technically you can complete this even by just using crystals (a hefty 5million)

Technically U can complete this whole event without using anything too, just by using free bronze contracts. While completing this, u may unlock a phoenix turret and hull also.

I cannot tell anymore if these recent island hopping events are designed as a one-size-fits-all for the entire playerbase or tailored specifically for people who live in the game. Gone are the days where you got energy for free from daily missions and gained Tankoins throughout the journey. Now you have to pay to even move. 

The bronze contracts are a real head scratcher. If it was hardly realistic to go far with only silver contracts, this is even more preposterous. This feels like it will only synergise with energy gold boxes, however often they drop because you bet the same set of people will be vacuuming them up. And the silver contracts are still at the high 50,000 crystal price. 

My first impression from reading the announcement is it's the criminally overpriced April minigame under the guise of the Cybertanks minigame model. Who knows, maybe it looks bleak now but there may be other energy sources in the coming weeks.

Any reason no Demonic hull to match the shaft? It has become a staple to have a fun DC combo every Halloween. Missing out on the hull is a massive bummer

Well I have not worked out how much it will cost, no point I'm not doing it, but from the few posts I have read it's no surprise it will cost a "FORTUNE" to complete.

I wonder how many players on here will attempt it, only to complain about it when it doesn't go their way, which is almost a given.

Lets see how many have learned their lesson from past events.

I did the math but I accidentally pressed CTRL + Z out of habit and the entire thing was gone so I'll just summarize it.

Assume that you earn 7.66 crystals/RP in a match with premium in event mode, you'll require ~3.5M crystals and ~455,000 BP to earn about 1000 lollipops. 

You'll be earning almost 1 silver contract every 2 bronze contracts you finish. (45960/49900=0.92 Silver contracts)
Earning 1 lollipop requires ~455BP, Earning 1000 requires ~455,000 BP (17,500 BP a day required)

Do remember that you can earn lollipops from the event mode and that the event only lasts for 2 weeks (unless they add a new one which is unlikely, I haven't covered up this part in the calculations) so you'll need to keep catching lollipop golds or else you won't be able to finish the event without spending tk or 6h a day grinding MM.

Good luck everyone 
(Please do correct me if I got anything wrong)

To be honest I was quite disappointed when I heard we get no DC hull this year, especially when we only get these once a year.

Very much true. They effectively nerfed container rewards, the rank up rewards, the mission rewards, Pass rewards, and even the events themselves have become unbearable. They removed what was a free progression within this event and  hid it behind small improvements like bronze contracts and nerfed islands of misfortune along with supposedly long awaited contract system that only extracts massive amounts of resources and excessive amounts of time.

Hello Tanki,

 

 

First of all I love the new update with rubies and the trick or treat minigame. except I don't feel like it is really fair in terms of rewards per contract. Golden contracts giving only 5 spins while you need 18 per island is insane. It means 12000 battle points to clear one island when there are 7. 7 times 12k is 84k battle points and then we don't even talk about the amount of rubies required. 4k rubies per island times 7 is 28k rubies for the final reward. That is just robbery and it means maybe a handful of players will even bother playing your event. 28k tankoins and 84k battle points for a skin is insane to ask from your players. Please reconsider the amount of candy you get from the contracts. If you would try to do this free to play and use bronze contracts you would have to get 25x more battle points which means 2.1 million battle points. If you would get an average of 600 battle points per 12 minutes it would mean 700 hours of playing time. that is almost 30 days of non stop playing while the event is even less days than that. 

 

This means free to play it wont be even nearly possible to complete the minigame, and when you do pay it will take 30 hours of playing time + more than $200 USD to complete the minigame. It is way to expensive and I don't understand why you changed the amount of candy to 50 instead of 100. 

 

I would change the rewards per contract to 100 candy for gold contracts like it was, then 50 candy for silver contracts (50k crystals are a lot for only 1 spin, no one will pay 50k for 100 repair kits) and then the free to play bronze contracts should be minimum of 10 candy. this way more people will play the event which will generate more revenue than it will as of right now. 

 

Please consider this as positive advice for everyone, the players and developers will be more rewarded this way. If you don't do anything with it can you let me know why it is this expensive? Thanks for your consideration.

nope when in a few weeks they will be released into containers . This is mainly for those who want the turret ahead of others , so they put it out there for buyers.

@Marcus   I finished the gold contract and I can't buy more. Is it a mistake or can only one gold contract be purchased? First it says that it can be bought many times, and below it says that it can only be purchased once, so what is the truth?

When you go to shop, you get two discounted contracts, 1x Silver Contract and 1x Golden Contract, that can both be bought at 60% discount costing 19 990 crystals and 390 Rubies respectively. These two discounted contracts are one time only purchase and can be found in Trick or Treat subsection of the shop.

All other contracts must be purchased at a full price, in case of Gold contract, 990 Rubies. You can find the repeatable contracts in the Contracts subsection of the shop.
