Showcase feature in the HTML5 and Mobile versions

A short time ago, the HTML5 and Mobile versions (as well as the Flash version) of the game received a major makeover to its "Shop" section, out of which was a highly notable new “Showcase” feature. However, many players have had and are experiencing problems understanding how this new Showcase works, so have put here together a guide to help aid your confusion.

An example Showcase

Overview

To begin, let’s talk about what the Showcase actually is, and what it consists of through the points stated below.

• The Showcase is a new feature in the Shop sections of the HTML5 and Mobile versions of the game, that includes a variety of items that are often offered at a special, discounted price.
• The Showcase section can contain a maximum of seven items available for purchase, with one slot dedicated to any skin. During holiday celebrations, there is typically a value bundle that is available for purchase for an unlimited amount of time or until the holiday celebrations are over; it occupies three of the seven slots (not including the skin slot):

• All items (excluding special bundles) are on a 6-hour refresh cycle, meaning that every 6 hours, the items in the Showcase are refreshed with new items. You can also refresh, in the first time for free and after that by Tankoins.

• One important thing to note is that the Showcase section of the shop is exclusive to the HTML5 and Mobile versions of the game, and can NOT be found in the Flash version. If you are looking forward to purchasing anything from the Showcase, you will have to use either of these platforms to do so.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: I can’t see the Showcase in my shop. Why is that so?

A: You are most likely using the Flash version of the game, and unfortunately, the Showcase is not available in that version. To be able see and use the Showcase, you will need to use either the HTML5 or Mobile versions of the game.

Q: Is there any way to predict what will appear next in the Showcase?

A: No, there is no method of prediction. The items placed in the Showcase are chosen randomly, so you need to check the Showcase every 12 hours if you want to purchase a specific item that can be found in it.

Q: Is there any way to control or choose which items will be available for purchase in the Showcase?

A: Unfortunately, no. You can’t choose or control to only include any items of your choice; you just need to be lucky.
