I got Heavyweight Construction for Crusader from one of mine

I must have over 1500 hours with Smoky now (four accounts) and I hate Autocannon; it's an inelegant augment... for a less civilized age It's also making more people use Smoky modules...

For better or worse, the game's graphics are being gradually upgraded and I don't think the devs want to have the lower poly (aka "cardboard tanks") models driving around with the new "HD" ones They might allow players to purchase edited (if not remastered) versions of the old hornet skin plus M variants (and the rest of the hulls and turrets, I'd like the Smoky M2 skin) that are compatible with the new models, but that's a lot of work and it must be low on the list of the devs' priorities I think it might be worth doing I don't know why the devs focus on incredibly expensive price-of-a-console bundles instead of a higher volume of smaller transactions; lots of players might buy a HD version of their favorite skin for $5-10 or equivalent in TK, but whatevs

My first account ranked up to Lieutenant General today, but I didn't get the promotion banner because of an error Can finally buy Mk7 equipment ?

Saw a Field Marshal with a GS of 1680 a few days ago, nice garage

I've seen a lot of stupid in Parkour battles recently Sometimes I'll join a Parkour battle because I just want to drive around and learn how to control a new turret or hull or see how an augment I've got from a container works, but finding a Parkour battle without stupid mammoths killing everyone or people spamming mines is getting harder

Sorry for the late reply My strategy has always been to spend a lot on one hull + one turret + three modules (including micro-upgrading them after Mk6) until I can buy other equipment at Mk7, whether at Lieutenant General as product kits or separate items at Marshall But part of that is only sensible if you don't rank up very quickly, so I have some modules at 35% because I'm not in a hurry to get to Marshall If I was, and earning up to 40K XP per week by doing three missions every day / finishing challenges, then micro-upgrading any Mk6 equipment I bought in the sale would be pointless because my just-ranked-up-to-Lieutenant General account would get to Marshall in a few weeks instead of a few months For that list: I don't see any harm in buying other turrets if you want some variety I think the Mk4 modules (and any other Mk4 equipment) would be a waste of crystals at your rank (if you want Gauss and a Gauss module, I would wait until you rank up to Lieutenant General and save up for a Mk7 Gauss kit, even if it means waiting a while for one to appear in the shop) Finishing the micro-upgrades on Wasp and Firebird to Mk6-5 would make sense to me because it's your main equipment, but you won't be able to do two steps in the sale unless you use speed-ups, which are very expensive One of my accounts has a Mk6-3 Grizzly module (Thunder), but I'm only going to upgrade it by one step during the sale (for 25250 crystals instead of 50500); the last upgrade will have to wait until another sale, might have to accept only 30% off that one

I think the purpose is to include parts of older versions of the game in the current version, for various reasons including living history, nostalgia, and making money My point is just a technical one - every time there is a geometry upgrade / increase in polygon count for the models, then skins that were designed for the older generation of models have to be altered to fit When all of the current models have been replaced and re-skinned, then the old skins could be offered as legacy skins, but they will have to be altered too

@Unpopular I'm not expecting any Legends that disagree with double XP for 17 days to boycott this event; there's no downside for them, so why would they? That doesn't mean they can't speak up for players like me (four accounts spread across 530K XP to 780K XP) There's some fun stuff in this event, but for me they are eclipsed by the insanity of double XP for 17 days

But the current ones won't wrap on to the new models properly, they will have to be altered, if not remastered

Everything else could remain the same, like the resolution, but the Legacy skins will have to be altered so that they fit the more complicated geometry / higher polygon count of the HD models

I think the current XP rate (X4) should be the maximum If doubling funds without doubling XP to X8 would be bad for the game economy, then they should increase funds by a smaller amount I tolerated X8 XP for three days a week / Ultra weekends because someone only doing 8 daily missions a week could do them on the other four days, but 8X XP for two weeks is horrible

@paulus2019 You can buy Mk7 products kits for crystals from the shop at Lieutenant General (and all Mk7 equipment from the garage at Marshall), don't have to get to Legend At your next rank (very soon), you'll be able to buy any Mk6 module from the garage and micro-upgrade it, good timing with the 50% sale But that depends on how quickly you want to rank up, I upgrade my Mk6 modules because I'm not in a hurry to get to Marshall and will have fully upgraded them by the time I get there

That might be a mistake, should be Lieutenant Colonel (21) for TKs vs Lieutenant General (25) for crystals, which is bad enough I hope it hasn't been changed

Sometimes you get given containers in the special missions tab on the test server I've used TKs to buy paints in the test server, but I've never been able to use them for anything else

I think that might happen too, but I'll be sad because I think some of the Prime skins are better than the Ultra skins, even though the Prime skins have lower resolution and were made for the lower polygon models I'd rather have a higher res / poly Hunter Prime skin instead of Hunter Ultra All of the XT skins and Legacy skins will have to be redone for the new / higher poly models too Paint shrinking will become default too, urgh, but I hope they start making new paints if they are not going to remaster any of the old ones

@Venerable I started using previously unused paints when the X4 boost was finalized, similar difference

Had a depressing moment today where my team lost a match because of too many campers, including Shafts spending the entire match scoping the enemy base and allowing enemy players to get in to our base via the sides of the map because there weren't enough players on my side intercepting them I complained in my team chat > got called a noob, and then the top scorer on my team (one of the Shafts) had the cheek to say "ez" in the team chat at the end I hope they choke on their three stars

@MysticBlood I don't know why it's happening, might be because there are less than 2500 players online at the moment and most of them are Legends, but I've given up on doing some missions until tomorrow because there are too many Legends

I was in that battle too ?

I would have no crystals left if I did (for a drone etc.), but that might not matter

It becomes pointless after Legend 5 or something, if that is the Legend rank where all players should have at least one maximum or nearly maximum GS combination You could solve by continuing the rank brackets past Legend so that a Generalissimo wouldn't be bracketed with Legend ranks higher than 5, but the final default rank bracket (if kept at a range of 9) would be the one where the lowest rank is a Legend Like this?

I've just done some maths for my oldest account, which will rank up to Lieutenant General soon With another 50'000 crystals, I could afford to buy four Mk7 product kits and fully upgrade one hull + one turret + three modules to Mk7+ without needing any sales and have a GS of 9200 at Lieutenant General (if I stopped playing for three months / during upgrades) (Smoky/Hunter Mk7+ with 50% against three not-Smoky turrets) It would not be sensible, but it is tempting

MM just not bothering with this one, looks like a Christmas tree with all of the colours Also, what's up with this player, now a Major, currently 4th position in this week's top 100 players
