Damn Turbo paint is being available again? Can we expect cryo, holy, thankos paint, etc in the future?

With all that said, solid pass (p2w for sure)

Yes. I will read through suggestions. Just please don't expect me to be 100% clear on my conclusions right away.

Reward for being Top 10 Challenge Accepted. Way better than 16 nuclear energy. You could rotate different paints enough that specific one would appear once or twice a year.

Contracts - Assuming how you imagine the full system to work, you could combine that and crazy weekends. For example you need to get 60K to 100K Score in 3 days if you spend rubies only at certain small period. 

Exotics - I see we have had no new exotics since the start of the year and i assume that this is intentional. Well sometimes maybe paints when they were in events already could rotate in exotic. I myself don't know if this should happen as it could give the paint away more often than it should be but if people are fine with this event, and if they will be fine in case if u give away more in future events, who knows

Tanki Fund - Booster needs a good end reward. Lets say there are 20 tiers of booster, why not make it tier 20 reward?

Dark Skins Annoying and Boring.. Why not working on ice hulls instead DK Skins? By the way, next paint should be Cryo With New ice hulls and should be available for few players, not only 1.. I Hope You will hear my Demand. 

[Marcus 17,526]

We had a mistake in our announcements.

Each destroyed element gives 10 points. So the smallest successful combination will bring you 30 points.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeey how is it going? For the upset og player I can recommend seizing top-1 in this event so the paint will go nowhere. After 100000s of dollars dis but a small fee.

Lets take baby steps first.

Oh yeah, the Contracts. That thing got changed in plans a bit. I've been playing certain popular pve game with a lot of bugs and automatons and took a notice of Warbond system. Had an idea. Gonna merge Contracts with elements of Warbond system so there would be more ways to grind Contract progress.

Marketing wise this is a good strategy, OG paints that were there for 1 time purchase are really sought after. 
I am sure if the paint were not there in the reward list a lot of players (who currently are trying to get it) wouldn't spend money on Tankcoins packs to get more points. 
Easy money for the company and a good way to give out paints that are high in value to those who are ready to spend money for it

But I hope such exclusive paints are only given to 1  single player like this event. And not to top 10, top 15 etc. Don't want too many people getting it

Coulda kept it simple and kept each square as 1 point and the actual reward side, scaled it down properly. We have had events with single point entities so what changed here?

But like, majority of the playerbase won't even recognise said paint on said user most times. And said user may not even use said paint either. It's kinda crazy but if someone wants to fall for bait like this, let them go for it.

 

Now onto the main stuff, it's an interesting set of contract lists;

bronze gaming looks nice, and I mean a good few m crystals and a few k rubies to complete, fully without playing 1 game, not too bad at all.

Alright thanks I just made sense of this. Not a bad deal, saves time just need to sacrifice some extra xrystals

What is the 5 bronze plus skip mean? If I spend 900 rubies and 250k crystals I can get around 50k points?

each of these rows is 150 energy, 5 bronze + skip means buying 5 bronze contracts and using rubies to complete them early, you can check the costs of the contracts on the information page

I actually have a suggestion of one of the ways this could be done then.

Take a look at game called R.E.P.O's cosmetic system where there is a chance to spawn a cosmetic box of 4 rarities on a map.

We could combine this with TX's single battle mission system. Basically in each match you get one mission to complete which would be shown on the right. These types of missions have 4 stages of difficulty and would be given to the player randomly upon joining the match. Upon completion, you get a random amount of points, with higher difficulty obviously giving more. Example:

Easy - 10 Kills --> gives 1 to 3 Points
Medium - 1 Flag --> gives 4 to 7 Points
Hard - 500 Score --> gives 8 to 11 Points
Extreme - Catch a Gold Box --> gives 12 to 15 Points

If they do not complete that mission in that battle, the mission is terminated and new one will appear in the next match. And to complete an entire contract if the amount needed to do per event stays the same as now ( like 130 Silver Contracts for Tanks in Space minigame ) you would in this case need....lets say 20 or 25 Points - Numbers dont really matter here just the concept.

Missions could range anything from throwing a grenade, to earning crystals, to capturing points or flags, to having client sided missions where only on your screen, you will have something spawn, like posters which you need to collect thru the maps by just passing by.

One thing i would personally do with this is make it so you have to stay until the match ends to claim the rewards of this mission to promote staying until the end.

Solid event, contracts feel very rewarding to complete because you get to spend a decent amount of time actually playing the mini game. Hoping some changes come to the other mini games like Snow Trap or Halloween. Its nice when you spend hours grinding a contract and arent back to grinding after taking 5 seconds to use the energy earned. This current mini game feels very rewarding in comparison

Took me 27 bronzes to complete with speedups, usable.

Hello. Im also a Holi paint owner just on my second account and I don't think its much of deal if one more person per year will get the paint. The number is so low that the chance how many times you will meet that guy in a battle is almost zero. Genuienely this is for people who can buy it and spend money on it just profiting tanki. At the same time I think players profiting from it too when it helps the game to live and a small group of players could care about it so its a content for them. As long theres not like 10+ holi paints per event I think generally good choice to do it like this.

My other idea. Why not create a new special paint like these and put it in the events and slowly give them to the players aswell for the first places. Its been a really long time since we've seen a new animated paint. I think its time for a new one 
Or just don't put for the 1st place but for example everyone who get into top 300 would be automatically added into the giveaway and then randomizer 3000 would get one lucky winner. Good news the winner would be mostly an active player in tanki cuz he got into the top 300 so it wouldn't be that big of a waste.

This event is basically a mash-up of Candy Crush Saga and Challenge Accepted. That match-3 concept exists in dozens, if not hunders or more games and that "Leaderboard" for that is literally the same concept as Challenge Accepted, but this time instead of giving any XT Drones, it gives an animated paint that was meant to be ONLY in special offers/bundles, but somehow it still appeared again. For example the Turbo animated paint we all see rn. Imma quote a few words from a topic regarding that, link to that is in spoiler:

Quote

This animated paint is unique and exclusive. It will only be found in the TURBO bundle and will NOT show up in the Shop and containers.

Spoiler

 

So honestly, I'm not suprised some people are mad about it, since it was written that such paints will be found "ONLY IN BUNDLES" like for Turbo paint, Cryo and few other paints, not in some new version of Challenge Accepted thingy. Not gonna lie, I have mixed feelings about that, cause many consider it lying to players for the words I quoted and similar ones if there really gonna be such "Challenge Accepted v2" in the future, but it still kinda makes that paint unique in some way since only 1 player gonna get it. No one should be surprised by the controversy surrounding this. 

In this event the Bronze Contracts finally are way more valuable than in the past, but, as it is in one of the memes, "[...] but at what cost?". Now they are for crystals, but now the Silver Contracts are for Rubies (same amount as in the past was for Golden Contract - 290 Rubies, like for example in the ""Tanks in Space" mini-game 2026") and the Golden Contracts costs 990 Rubies. Hmm... I guess that's the solution for only that "Candy Crush Saga + Challenge Accepted" events (or not, who knows?). Hope we find out more how it gonna work in next events (depends if there will be such concept again + what type of event gonna be ).

Fact that there was a Token Of Apology yesterday and gave free 150 Rubies (in form of 1 day of Ruby Pass) made this event available for everyone who claimed it. Also 15 Energies was a really good incentive to participate in that. Giving 1 Star and 1 Epic Key for that is a pretty small prize (ridiculous), but at least something...

My opinion?

IMO that's a pretty fun event and finally some new type of event in this game. Maybe not original one, but for sure sum new thing in game. Since they gave 150 free Rubies and even few energies to encourage people to participate, imma play a bit of it. I'm pretty disappointed that some thing were locked behind a small Ruby fee like:

• "Bomb" - in mentioned type of games created by matching elements in "L" shape or "T" shape,
• "Overdrive" - created by matching 5 same elements and matched with any element cleared all the elements in visible game board,
• "Linear Strike" - basically matched 4 elements and which being matched with 2 other elements it can clear all elements in a line or column where that "striped element" was place (depending how it was made ofc, if elements were moved horizontally or vertically)

I think those 3 things should be free and available to reach by just playing that in the game field and matching elements as I described. What should replace them? Well:

• "Hammer" ability - for the cost of 20 or 30 Rubies it can break a single element, without losing any energies /"moves"
• "Magic touch" ability - for the cost of 10 or 20 Rubies it can move two elements, even if they don't match each other +  it doesn't use any energy /"moves"
• Mentioned above "Bombs", "Overdrives" and "Linear Strikes" BUT as a replacement for one of the elements in game field and to buy for like 10-15 Rubies. I mean to replace 1 element that isn't going to create those 3 things with those "boosters" and after replacement can be used by matching 3 elements or more. Even if there is an option to create them for free, but maybe to make some good combo (many elements match with the rest which are on game field already or appear and match with existing ones).

Oh, not sure if combo points (as small bonuses to points earned if combo happens) might be a good idea since it might increase required points to unlock sum prizes (and if those ideas I gave might actually be implemented ["yeah, in your dreams"]).

Also not sure if that's too much to give ideas for such events if they gonna repeat. Well, we gonna see. Maybe they will repeat.
