→ Extremely expensive mini-games.

→ Initial rewards for the events are extremely bad.
→ Introduction of Boosters which defeat the purpose of funds.

→ alleged decrease in Ultra Container rewards
→ Price increase 990 to 1490 for participation bundle.
This game is becoming less and less community based and more and more unreasonable.
Devs must realise that you have to keep the F2P players happy too, most of my friends have stopped playing MM or the game altogether, as someone who does in game purchases, more than anything the biggest reason that keeps us here is the presence of our friends in this game, which is slowly fading by the days.

 

with that bad rewards, the solution is to remove the first 10 levels and decreasing min bundle to 990 tankoins.

And to get it worst they insert bots to replace the lost real players!

I would be interested to find out how many accounts currently have a tankoinpass/rubypass attached, if this value exceeds 30'000. Completing this tkfund would clearly be instantaneous. Yes the price did increase, so it's basically 10 days of a pass, or 5 days of both passes combined for older players.

Not sure what the game wants here, but this one looks to be the most appalling out of the lot when they know that all the f2p funds have been exhausted.

Just when we thought they would finally try to make something doable for minimum spenders, there's that price increase. I personally do not mind the filler rewards as much, it is after all, an investment based 'minigame' which requires a decent set of dolphin players. Seemingly, we have lost a lot of these dolphin players over the past 3 years...

Logic behind increased price is that we have a new options to get premium currency, you can get 100 rubies from container or now you can get 10 from ruby gold, but in reality you will (if you are lucky) get 100 rubies like once per year from container and ruby golds are rare and even if they increased drop rate it still would not be enough to "farm" it.  

But now they have a "reason" to increase price,   we all know that 90 % of players wont get additional premium currency through this new options and if yes then amount is negligible. Yet at the same time they increased price of funds by 50 % Sounds fair is not it?  Not to mention first 10 scam tiers just to profit from boosters, they know very well that fund wont reach tier 30 if they add ridiculous first 10 tiers.  My advice ? Ignore this fund, that will be great feedback for devs. 

They should focus on new players and ways to keep them in a game, this game lack advertisement and even if potential new player come into game its chaotic and unfair for him. Game lacks balance, protections are too expensive and available at a high rank where you will meet legends like a daily bread. Fair? nah just be food for everyone , despite having more skill than most of "legend" players.

The fund is impressive! Wishing the best of luck to all the eSports teams competing in the Legends stage, may the games be as legendary as the stage name.

[Akame 4,577]

The activity in this thread speaks wonders of how the player base now sees this event.

Near enough the majority have decided to ignore it for most part, at this rate, we may not even cross into 8 figures.

Tournament fund as a result will be 0, no player will actually have any incentive to purchase a booster until a minimum of level 11 to get Rico GT, even then, 10k tk for rico GT, u'd have to be desperate for the skin collection itself.

 

I wonder how the russian community thread looks...

Only hopes for the next tankifunds are to revert back to the original 15 tier tankifunds and a price reduction clearly is shown to be required to a reasonable level.

By what I got from the rather poor browser translation, it's pretty much the same as here. Mainly its too expensive for most people, and for those that are willing to fork out those 1500 rubies are only going to do  so if the fund  reaches at least 15 levels. Most people are just meming on it.

Truly impressive, haha! But let’s be real, the fund probably won’t even make it to Level 10. Tanki’s unrelenting greed has players collectively shrugging off their traps, and this so-called 'fund' event has turned into nothing more than a community-wide comedy special.

They even had the audacity to throw in a new augment at Level 29 and proudly label it as an event-exclusive on the wiki. Can’t wait to watch them shamefully bring it back for a 'future surprise comeback' and sell it again—honestly, who wouldn't laugh at that? Haha, classic Tanki!

Regardless of how bad the fund is, it’s all Tanki’s fault. Still wishing the best of luck to the teams in the competition!

Technically this is true, for now, well, not exclusive but currently only possible to be obtained via this event. Of course they'll bring it back in a higher ruby cost event. 

Would like to speculate snowtrap event with Gauss IC, Nemesis Aug, Hammer IC maybe? who knows

It's just something the DE wiki does with very new augments that have only been in 1 or 2 events. And it seems that the DE augment wiki and EN augment wiki are quite close knit recently so EN seems to put it there too.

 

It's not to be taken literally, calm down.

So you mean the wiki isn’t official and it’s player-made?

What do you guys think about expecting players who purchased Advent Calendar to spend their Rubies on purchasing Tanki Fund offers once they start to get Rubies from the Calendar?

[krokorok 836]

I am not expecting any radical increase in the fund even with the Black Friday advent calendar. A lot of buyers who wanted to participate probably already purchased some offers, and given how the fund is progressing, I dont think there will be a big motivation to purchase any additional offers. Others with funds to spare may still wait for the low chance of higher levels being reached before participating, which may not even happen. For an increased prize of entry, there is no guaranteed initial reward.

That's why people started to prefer events like Freezer Games, because it is cheaper and you know what you are buying. You pay the initial prize of 700 rubies, and you know you will get to lvl.13 with just missions. If you want two extra rather op augments, you pay 1.8 m crystals or extra rubies. But in Tanki Fund, you are not guaranteed rewards, unless others push it far enough before you participate. If you participate early, you dont know what you will get. Will it stop at level 8? Will it get to at least Tandem? Is there even a chance to get to Sustainable Nanobots and Destroyer? That's too many unanswered questions for many to risk the participation.

 Fingers crossed to those who choose to participate.

So because my post got removed, I can’t give my feedback. Well done.

This is the pinnacle of the forum and feedback.

That's because your post wasn't much of constructive feedback but rather an uncivilised complaint which is not tolerated on this public platform. If you believe otherwise, feel free to Forum PM me, and I'll be happy to explain it to you why.

O que vocês acham de esperar que os jogadores que compraram o Calendário do Advento gastem seus Rubis na compra de ofertas do Fundo Tanki quando começarem a receber Rubis do Calendário?

I did it yesterday

Or you can remove the first 10 tiers which are the main reason why nobody is interested in the fund. Make tier 10 tier 0 and watch the fund grow all the way to the end.

At first, I thought the same thing. A lot of players would buy the Advent Calendar and get Rubies, which would probably end up going into the Tanki Fund. Especially with the 250 Epic keys in the "Spectacular Appearance," players might want to buy the offers to grab the special Black Friday skins.

But honestly, it’s not very realistic. Players need to log in for many days to collect Rubies, and by the time the Tanki Fund ends, they can only get up to 6000 Rubies, which takes quite a while. So, even if they do spend Rubies on the fund, it’ll probably only be in the last few days. The problem is that the fund grows slowly, and it’s unlikely to reach level 10 before it ends. A smart player would probably save their Rubies for future events with better rewards. Because, at the end of the day, even if they put Rubies into the fund, they’re mostly just getting more of the same augments they already own (like Tandem, which many regular paying players already have). So, it’s not really worth it.

By the way, this Tanki Fund is pretty disappointing because most of the augments are ones regular paying players already have. Sure, there are some decent rewards after level 19, but with the Booster, we know the devs won’t let it reach level 19 or 20. That’s why the first 10 levels are full of useless rewards. Players who can afford this fund probably also have access to better events, so they’re not gonna waste their Rubies getting augments they already own (like me). The only thing that caught my eye was the level 19 augment, but it’s too good for the devs to give away to everyone. So, honestly, there’s nothing in this fund that would make regular paying players want to buy in.

Honestly, this Tanki Fund is a failure. It didn’t give regular players enough to keep them interested or make the game more active, and it didn’t really give paying players enough incentive to spend either. It’s a lose-lose for both the players and the devs.

It's certainly something that is happening currently, I don't think we have more than 10k accounts with such facilities, though if we do, then this event would have been closer to completion. Majority of this playerbase does not have the advent bundle purchased due to priceband.

Not to forget, some of these advent owners may have already purchased into the fund too exhausting the basic offers. The bigger bundles are hardly worth it for players who are looking to get efficient with it.

Seems evident enough that people are purchasing boosters for bombardier augment.

Guess only time shall tell, but so far I think this may still end up being the worst reached fund, even beating the last fund which currently holds the title.

Everyone that I have spoken with mainly only look at the first 10 tiers and see supply placeholders and are saying no. Naturally if we get near 20M, i'm sure we may even complete it and all the players that disliked the first 10 tiers may buy into it when they see it as profitable. Noone really sees the tankifund for the raffle, but rather the rewards.

Currently Standing at 1490 rubies for a bunch of supplies and common keys, the incentive is extremely low and 2 battlepasses are far more worth it in comparison.

If the event or minigame etc, does not beat this baseline of rewarding, players are less likely to bother with it. Of course, when I say players, I mean the f2p base mostly and the low spend efficiency players. All the others may not care too much and will chance it.

If you would kindly give us the % or number of tankers who bought the advent calendar. Then it would help motivate majority of the players (who did not purchase the advent calendar) to maybe buy the fund.

Also I think 20 tiers is the absolute sweet spot for a FUND. With less filler rewards and more of the unique stuff.

And then the increased price of each so called "special offer" (by +50.5%  on the lower bundle) to get the same amount of added Rubies to the fund as before!

 

Too much greed expecting for the Advent effect is also one of the main reasons for the announced failure of this event!

I was lucky to win at the last Tanki Fund. So I bought the pass for Advent Calendar to get 8000 rubies. But... Not going to waste them on this year Tanki Fund for crap rewards...

If they had enough tankoins to spend on that ridiculously overpriced 8k bundle then they had enough rubies to buy into the fund way before that lol. Why would they wait to spend $15 worth of rubies on the fund if they were already able to spend $100 on the 8k bundle. Gonna have to accept it man, this fund was not it, it failed right from the start. Even tho I thought and still think it has good rewards its not gonna matter if we cant even get 1/4th of them

[Macabre 207]

It's sad that even the only event that everyone anticipates from year to year is now ruined. I think they should just discontinue it from now on.

1.5k rubies for what? a few, lousy supplies? never.
Put encouraging rewards in the first few tiers, than we can talk about it.
