As you can see, 850,000. For 1 upgrade this is unacceptable. I used it as a 4th protection a few times and never really rated it. If you ever get it it's your call to upgrade it. Remember that you start at MK1 regardless of your rank, so you have to buy all the MKs at legend, THEN you can start and upgrade it. Even with sales this module costs a fortune to max out and as I have said, with everything in the game that can take you out (dozens of them) this module is a waste of crystals, millions of crystals. In my case this is to get it at the next rank because of the upgrade change. So i was right and wrong in regards to the step upgrade price. Regardless, it is still a overpriced module for what it does to supposedly enhance your tank in battle. This is why if you have MK6 4/5 the cry needed to upgrade should be based on a % of what you have already upgraded, in my case 1/5 is all i should have to pay.

I have it on one account, MK6. 2 upgrades. To upgrade to MK6-level 3 will cost 850,000 cry. Way more than just "a lot". I no were your coming from but to upgrade that module is just insane and it really isn't worth it, just like crisis. Both of these "supposed" end game trinkets of TO are overrated. I have crisis on 2 accounts and have not used it for a long time, saying that though I have not used either account for well over a year, probs longer because of the cheap trick the developers pulled when they changed the upgrading process, stating that it was "to complicated" for new players, biggest lie they have told to date. By the way I'm well over legend 50 and I would not say thanks if I got either, nowhere near enough crystals saved and I have nothing left to upgrade. My advice to any legend with a near maxed garage is to save cry for batteries and other supplies and forget about crisis and armadillo, they are just not worth it. Overrated and overpriced.

You were being very kind there. The reg containers are TRASH, that's why I no longer acquire the gold tier in the challenge, utter waste of tankoins/cash. Only for players with a HUGE amount of crystals are cash to burn. Imo with everything that can take you out in battle, the last 2 are just not worth it. Forget crisis, armadillo to upgrade takes a astronomical amount of crystals and like I said It's not that good in battle with all the augments in the game. Nice contradiction. You got it right with the second part and Its a definite nerf in the near future for helios, absolute given. Lets not forget the track record of the developers, Its abysmal, but it's what they do best. OP update, as much cash as they can get, then nerf the crap out of it when it's cash value is no longer a viable option. The way the developers run TO is appalling and yet players will still spend cash on this useless fund. Helios lol, do me a favour.

Lets see what cons and other methods the developers currently use on players. Developers magnificent 7 to bleed players dry of their resources and cash. 1- More XP to crystals. Reason for this, so you rank faster and hopefully spend cash on crystals to upgrade your weak garage. 2- At the very low ranks when you pick up the 10 cry you also gain 10XP. This was never forthcoming when they brought back the cry drops at the low ranks. Reason for this, so you rank faster, you no the rest. 3- Very low battle score compared to cry and XP. Reason for this, so you again rank faster trying to complete any mission with battle score attached to it. 4- No protections whatsoever when you start a new account. Reason for this, to make cash from players (buyers) who just have to win at all costs. 5- DD and DA changed to bd and ba. Reason for this, to force you to upgrade whatever drone/drones you have to maximise the effect of both. One of the biggest cons to date. 6- Change to the upgrading system. The worst change imo. Reason for this, like all the rest, to force your hand and spend cry/cash to get the next MK level because it's stuck on 4/5 at the last rank. 7- The constant buff/nerf cycle. Reason for this, to manipulate you into using different hulls/turrets/drones/augments and in the process hopefully spend cash doing so. This is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. THE only ones that benefit from any of this are the developers and their favourite players, the buyers.

Then there are the "noobs" that don't spend a dime and get everything handed to them.

True. Untrue. The arrogant scam artist is very aware of what he is doing. True. MM has never, ever worked since day 1. Blame the scam artist.

Kids, buyers spring to mind.

This part of TO will never end, not unless the day comes were the developers greed becomes to much even for the most eager of buyers. ( doubtful though ?) The first OP feature that I remember dominating was vulcan. Back then you couldn't even drive in a straight line if it was hitting you. When hammer was released they neglected to release the protection against it for a long time, felt like years before it came out. Can't really be bothered to go through the entire list of OP updates, there are just far to many to mention and I believe I have mentioned all of them in previous posts. The bottom line is that TO is 100% P2W and as long as there are buyers and players that give the developers the ? for every update they do, it will continue to be 100% P2W only. You want to have a say in all of this, do not take part in the TO fund. I have no objection to players complaining, most of it is justifiable, but don't complain if your not going to back your words up with actions. I stopped buying anything in the shop a very long time ago. I have not acquired premium or the battle pass in months and it will remain that way until they lower their prices considerably and un-nerf the regular containers, which as we all know are now absolute trash and on a par with the scamboxes, which have been trash for a very, very long time.

Simple answer, they don't. The developers no this is a problem but do not care at all, as long as the buyers keep buying their OP trash all is ok in their little cash driven world. The game is a joke filled with copy/paste augments and underpowered G/S players who do not have a clue. The only way to have a say is to boycott everyone of their "special" missions, maybe then they will take note that the players are fed up with the unfair way in which most players are treated when these OP, CASH only updates are spewed out every other week. Of course players will not do this because their will power is close to zero. Until players start behaving in a way that forces the hand of the developers then the status quo will just carry on the way it is, unplayable for most, because without lots of cash you just can't compete on the same level as the buyers. I have now quit 4 accounts that are no longer viable because of the various changes and OP trash that has blighted the game. The ball is firmly in the players court, should they choose to acknowledge it. The limit for legend should be 9000 imo.

Shop prices up "AGAIN" utter joke. 3€ for 1 day of premium, bunch of clowns.

I spend no cash, game is not worth it.

Which means shortly afterwards when everyone has upgraded it..............BIG NERF. The same will happen to scorpion and it will become just another random turret with average abilities. Boycott this new fund and keep boycotting them, until they introduce balance to a game crippled by OP buyer only updates.

Its to busy, very hard to play on. Old version was way easier, new version= useless.

Every single player in TO knows the answer to that. True enough. The developers as I have said in countless posts, (truly lost count) are the most devious and manipulative I have ever come across. Just been to the "JOKE SHOP" to see their "special offers", no change on that front, as expected. Their special missions for me at least will remain as they are, incomplete, untouched, not attempting them, ever. The same applies to the challenge in regards to acquiring the battle pass, not happening. I only ever done the gold tier for the extra containers, which are now useless trash after they devalued them by a huge margin. Until the developers reach a reasonable compromise between the games "economy" and It's players, the complaints will keep rolling in at a ever increasing rate. All this fancy upgrading of graphics, new skins, etc means nothing while they continue to act like leeches towards the players, not to mention the game crashing or having glitches every time they bring out a new update. TO has went dramatically downhill over these last couple of years (enjoyment factor being the main one amongst many others) and unfortunately for the players with the developers the game has, it is only going to get worse and become more expensive in the process, while the rewards for time and effort seem to be decreasing. The amount of easy fixes I have mentioned to help out players, mostly F2P and mainly at the low to mid ranks has went unnoticed. So much for acting/caring about player feedback, Its a myth.

@YKNAGI1 LOL another satisfied player. Just goes to show the developers are incurring more complaints than ever.

Unfortunately you have ranked far to quickly to mix it up and be competitive at your rank. You should have concentrated on protections, your fav combo and fav drone. Trying to upgrade most of your garage at the same time without the funds to do so is why you will struggle for a long time. The developers pay no heed to players like yourself who obviously enjoy the game, but do not have the funds to be competitive after a certain rank has been reached. Your enthusiasm for the game has been your downfall, only buyers benefit from ranking quickly, the rest of the player base always reach a tipping point were their rank exceeds their garage, this is the reason there are so many low G/S legends getting thumped in battle. The developers know this but will do nothing to alleviate the problem, even though it is a very easy fix.

THE only way a F2P player can try and compete with a religiously competitive buyer is to be patient, (very) and not to rank to quickly so their garage falls way behind for acquiring the next upgrades for free. Of course even following this sound advice wont make that much difference because of the high rate of updates the developers bring out, which usually favour the buyers, so in reality the F2P is back to square 1 with a vastly inferior garage compared to his P2W counterpart. The word you need to take note of in this post is the word "REALITY". A lot of players struggle with this concept when posting about TO, especially the thumbs up mods who fail to realise that stats and actual battles are very rarely in agreement, are maybe they do realise this and are just to pro dev to point out the numerous flaws in the game, flaws created by the developers for one purpose-CASH.

My statement regarding your reply "was true" Yes they do, primarily for buyers. Your stating that this rico augment is OP, exactly what I was saying. I doubt that very much. When I can be bothered I will call your bluff. If I mention 25 I'd like to see you counter everyone based on facts, you no what actually happens in battles and not what your glazed over eyes would like to see. Some are all of this will happen, once it's cash value has dwindled. And any other OP augment the developers bring out. They make all the cash from OP updates. The UI and other non related battle updates are done to supposedly enhance gaming experience, usually followed by lots of lag and crashes because they just can't get it right first time. The developers are scam artists, the buyers are the mark and neither care about balance because it suits both of them to keep the status quo just the way it is. You have a nice day in the delusional world you reside in, because when it comes to this game you are clueless.

1ST sentence is correct imho. Lets be nice and use the use the word "misleading" they are very good at that, some would say experts. 2ND sentence is incorrect. They are not conning anyone and you know they are not, so stop trying to put words out there and then insinuate they apply to me. OP items have a specific purpose, to entice the weak willed buyers to part with cash. As for that forgotten word "balance" neither you are the developers pay it any attention. Your flying hack days with rico are testament to that. You thrive on OP items without which you are just another average joe player......AT BEST.

If it's not broken and doesn't dominate in battle then it's not OP. So it's exotic, (twins) that's down to the developers conning players with a average augment by putting it there and down to the buyers for not realising just how devious the developers are, although it should be quite obvious by now. I remember you testing out a new rico gimmick in a MM battle trying to show off, not the first time you have done this. Quite childish really as you were shooting at me trying to get my attention or you were trying to put me off, not sure which one it was but the end result was the same, I was not impressed in the slightest. Funny how you always seem to have the latest gimmick on release. A lot more than him.

@obay878 post made perfect sense to me. This is the developers favourite ploy. Make it OP and the buyers will spend, when they have squeezed every dime they can out of it then put it out there for everyone, nerfed of course. As for logic, take that up with the developers, but don't expect any answers that rely on the truth being told. Funny how you always seem to acquire the latest trashy gimmick when it is brought out.

Magnum with crisis DD and smoke 'em 17 kills against scorpion so far and counting for no losses, though tesla with paladin has tagged me a couple of times.

Occasionally, you for real. Nothing has changed in that regard except it's way more expensive. Friendly to buyers, very unfriendly to F2P. How you think about TO is all back to front, inside out and very misguided. TO has become massively complicated, total P2W, with the developers doing everything they can to maximise profit and in the process giving as little as they can back to the players. The container nerf is a very good example of this maximising philosophy for little reward. Containers are now total trash, which is why I no longer buy the battle pass. They still can't get updates right, everyone they do affects the game to some degree, lag, no damage, not being able to change equipment, etc, yet they want to sell you items for a hugely exaggerated price. So no you are quite staggeringly wrong, TO is not "much more player friendly" very much the opposite and being able to earn crystals easier in no way makes up for the HUGE increase in price for everything, from upgrading garage equipment to buying items from the "joke shop", to opening the now useless containers. The developers like players who experience the game with a child's mentality nearly as much as they like the buyers, because those two types of players don't find much wrong with the game. One is oblivious and the other takes advantage of their cash spending abilities.

@TheCongoSpider Is in no way "defending" the developers. He may not berate them with my intensity (justifiably so) he takes a more non aggressive, sober, lets wait and see diplomatic approach. No matter how much you point out that the developers have "ONCE AGAIN" forsaken all balance in favour of a quick buck, it seems this buyer friendly trend is here to stay. The developers have no scruples and certainly no sense of fair play when it comes to the players who without, there would be no TO. Greed is now a by-word when describing the developers along with no-balance. The buyers though they would never freely admit it have no will power, saying that the game needs buyers to thrive. CATCH 22 springs to mind.

Whichever it is they should let players know.
