Thanks for the detailed feedback. I'll pass on your arguments to the devs Yes I did. I said I have no idea, and that's true. What more do you want??

I've already brought that proposal in front of the devs but they have chosen not to do it. Sorry.

Indeed. Some think the Russians are lucky because they buy things cheaper. What they don't realise is that when those Russian players try to buy anything outside of Russia, the value of their currency makes everything prohibitively expensive. I think everyone needs to see things in the proper perspective.

Devs monitor that section, plus mods make a weekly report on the top ideas and we pass them on again to the devs. I doubt it. Exactly as beaku said. And I've explained this already in this same thread and others too.

I really have no idea.

The alteration remains available

We'll have to wait and see how this plays out. Rest assured though that the devs will be monitoring the situation. I'm saying that I don't have that information yet, so I can't say whether they will be free or not. Checking with the devs now UPDATE: Got a reply from the devs. Kits in the garage work as they always have i.e. they are available on rotation. On the other hand, the kits in the shop are ALWAYS available. In other words, ALL equipment kits will be both in the garage and in the shop, but kits in garage will rotate, so only a part of them will be available at any one time. My apologies for the confusion.

Sorry, I really have no idea what you're tying to say. Please write your message using proper punctuation, capitalisation, grammar and spelling. I'm trying to keep up with a flood of messages, and it would really help if you at least tried to make things simpler for me by making an effort to write properly. Despite all the responses I write, I still make the effort to write properly and explain myself clearly. And you'll notice that others do too.

Sorry I didn't understand your comment

Actually quite the contrary. What I'm saying is that most players aren't buyers, so once their massive amounts of supplies start running out, they'll have to start rationing, just like they did at lower levels, and this will regulate the excessive use of supplies.

Hey all, Listen, I know you're upset, and you've brought up some very valid points. More importantly, there's a civil and smart discussion going on. All I'm asking is that you give this update some time. The idea behind it is to slow down the overall usage of supplies. At Gissmo level, players don't have anything on which to spend their crystals, and this leads to mass purchase and consumption of supplies. With this update, this mass purchase should slow down. As the super-users start running out of supplies, they will be forced to use them more intelligently rather than spamming the 1-5 keys. That's the idea behind this move. It'll take some time before we start seeing these results, but I believe that's where we'll get to. Additionally, there are other plans being set in motion to regulate the hyper-use of supplies.

Fair points. I've passed this on to the devs

That's because I don't have any information about that.

They don't need to. There's Premium in the shop, which gives you Pro battle access and other perks. Payment is a choice, you either pay in money, or you pay in time and effort. If you don't want to pay money, that's perfectly fine, but it will take you a lot more time and effort. That's why so many think that "buyers have the advantage". What people don't realize is that buyers are paying money to avoid paying in time and energy. If buyers had to expend the same amount of time and energy as non-buyers, that's when the system would stop being fair.

We'll know closer to the release date.

DM Tournaments were pulled from the game because certain features were unpopular, so the devs took the feedback on board and are reworking it. Maybe the Clan and Matchmaking systems won't be perfect out of the box, but I'm sure the devs will keep following the feedback of players and improving the systems. The Matchmaking system itself is based on the DM Tournaments mechanism, so it's already on solid ground, considering we're basing ourselves on your feedback.

Also, everyone seems to be overlooking a very simple thing. If you don't want to face people who use a ton of supplies, play non-supply battles. A Pro Battle Pass is just 5000 crystals, and you can use it for a whole month.

And I repeat, that's why devs are working on the Clan and Matchmaking systems, so that you'll have the option to play in an environment where muls and saboteurs don't exist. Devs are working their butts off to roll these systems out as soon as possible.

That's why the clan system and matchmaking system are coming soon. I'm not saying mults will disappear, but you'll have the option to play in an environment where mults cannot exist (if you play using the matchmaking system)

It's my job, I don't mind it.

That doesn't automatically make it a bad thing. And as I've already said, if you wanna buy supplies for crystals, you can still get them in the garage. It's not like there's a limited stock.

Guys, I've tried reading all 8 pages of comments but I might have missed a couple, so bear with me. I want to clarify some things. Equipment kits will be available in BOTH the garage AND the shop. Supplies kits will ALSO be available in BOTH the garage AND the shop. The only difference here is that if you wanna buy supplies kits in the garage you have to buy them in smaller increments of 100 supplies, whereas in the shop you can buy bigger increments in one go for cash. So the only things that are SHOP-EXCLUSIVES are a couple of paints, and those do not affect your gameplay at all. Anything that affects your gameplay is available in your garage. For now, you can only speculate how this update will affect the game. We'll only be able to know for sure in about 2 weeks when the dust settles. You need to see this update in the bigger context of all the other updates that are happening/planned in the game. We have Alterations (with even more coming), the Clan system (coming sooner than you think), the Matchmaking System (work-in-progress) and many other things you're not even aware of. All of these updates are an attempt to take the game into a better direction, but yo'll need to be patient to see how this plays out. Personally, from what I see behind the scenes, I believe the devs have a good plan. I can't say more than this, but I honestly believe the game and its players (both paying and non-paying ones) will be much better off next year once the devs have rolled out all that they have in mind.
