I can't wait to try out the new, amazing, good looking vulcan skin!

Keep up the good work devs

[Helios 718]

Looks interesting, hopefully we can finish the even in about 4-5k tc

[Spangles 10]

Intresting... I like the fact that it is different from any other event so far....

 

Edit: Just looked at the missions... they are same  different... this time its earn reputation points, not kills...

Well, there is an option of completing contracts as well as spl missions, props to that... generous, tanki

Thank you for reducing the cost of normal silver contract, without discount from 50k crystals to 20k crystals each, it is really appreciated!

Haven't read the details yet. Is Alternativa doing a colab with Google?

"New", from a 2010 Scrapped Prototype 

 

Still better than the usual fake Legacy skins though.

But you could say that about literally any LC skin That's exactly what they are — old skins that existed previously. Except Tesla LC. I don't know what the heck that is.

Less fluff, more Tanki please.

Not quite true. LC Skins were the actual Turrets and Hulls we used to play with as standard equipment.

The "new" Vulcan is a prototype design that eventually turned into Ricochet because the technology to actually make a machine-gun style turret was not ready at the time.

In fact, you can even see that its shape predates Ricochet.

Quite true. Just because they've made prototypes back then that won't make it "LC" skin as it was never released to the game before, same goes for the tesla LC (and the gauss LC that's coming soon)

Little sad that they keep spending money on skins like that in 2025 instead of focusing to the remastered maps that they promised a while ago.

Nice event mechanics, but as usual, to complete the game you have to spend a lot of time or money to complete the event and get a skin that is not even pretty, but even ugly.

In the best possible case, you can use 65 energy doing only the shortest words or 85 energy doing the longest ones.
In addition, there is an option that we will not always get the letter but only some prizes, so we can easily say that on average we will need 100 energy or more.

So I don't recommend wasting time to this event, unless you just want to complete the missions and complete at least one word.

[Tekken 374]

This could be interesting event if there was +2 energy for silver contract and +10 for golden one , prizes are not so great to spent like 75-100 energy to complete it.  

 This could ofc be different if chance to get 250K would have been a better, imagine event where you can actually profit for playing it, I am not saying that we should get 250K every 5th spin but if we could end up with a little  profit  or not lose a much  then this event  could have been way more interesting for active players. 

[ILLUSION-ZONE 45]

How much time is there to complete each mission? In other words, if I don't complete the Isida 1000 rep mission (Regeneration) in 24 hours will the next Ball Lightening mission (Tesla 1000 rep) appear? It doesn't seem to give a time limit for these missions and only mentions that a new mission will appear each day so the answer could be yes or no. Or maybe it does say and I haven't read it properly.

funny how they are finding every possible way to shove their hands into the players pockets, they still have some of the skins that some of these players have never seen even though they existed.

Wasn't this supposed to be the Ricochet skin back then anway?

Is that really a bad thing if they're just cosmetics?

No, it isn't about it being a cosmetic, it's the audacity of them calling it a "new skin" while it's just something that has always existed and will probably be sold for thousands anyway. They probably don't even deserve credit for it either, i don't believe that any of the old developers who made this masterpiece back then would still be in the dev team watching their precious game die off like this.

Another luck-based event, in which to complete it we have to spend a lot of time and money, as stated above. Pure gambling, use energy to play that roulette and hope to NOT get "Skip a turn". In mini-games we could have at least guaranteed a move or more(whether silver contract or golden one), here it's a big risk. I won't even mention how short it lasts. Just 2 weeks is way too short. Why not to make it like 3-4 weeks?

Even for f2p it's not really worth buying that silver contracts, but good they got a lot cheaper than usual. Spending many crystals on them for 1 word, which might be from 6-8 words and to get just... 15 common keys. From daily supermissions and weekly missions we might get 4 + 9 = 13, but also 8 common keys from 1 set of special missions from St. Valentine's Day 2025, so from them it's way more common keys to get and we don't have to spend that much time grinding 3000 reputation points to get some skip a turn or choosing wrong letter. Well yeah, there is a chance to get 250k crystals, but it's quite rare to get it. I assume chances are as low as getting crystals from exotic or legendary category (might be wrong a bit). Getting 13 energies from all those missions for it to just complete 1 word to get 15 common keys, but in worst case you may get NOTHING in return!!

And what the heck is that skin?! Vulcan Legacy? Looks like how it would like if it was introduced to game in 2009/2010. That weapon surely isn't the "OG" turret, Legacy skins reminds of those really old times of Tanki and how first weapons in game which used to be there looked like, but now it is ruined to milk money out of people since Tesla Legacy got introduced into game. What's going to be next? Gauss Legacy? Maybe Scorpion Legacy? Maybe Legacy skins for hovering hulls?!

Next thing, why event website can't be opened from the announcement website?! I click that "Log in" button and nothing happens!! Only way to get there is via lobby in the right-down corner of it. Luckily it's working, because otherwise probably no one could be able to even participate there and/or try own luck.

Advantages:

1. Cheaper price of silver contracts
2. Tanki Alphabet special missions - At least free energies for this event to try own luck.

Disadvantages:

1. Not well organised event - Yeah, it's that mentioned no possibility to open event website via announcement with details. Also the time how long it lasts. IMO too short.
2. Roulette - Risk of getting a "skip a turn" after grinding those 3000 reputation points, which means wasted time and money (not always). As I wrote, at least in mini-games we could have a guaranteed move or moves.
3. Prizes - Good at least small amount for free (not always), but to get all of them - 90 common keys, 18 rare keys, 30 epic keys, we have to grind so much that it might be not worth it. I agree that 250k crystals might be pretty big amount of crystals, but depends for who + it's really rare.
