Micro-upgrades in progress

[Endurance 543]

They say it'll come out in the summer. Next month sounds about right.

FBI said it'll come out in July..

Now they delayed it..

I joined to say that quite frankly, I don't like the idea of having a chance to get nothing. I think it should be a sure thing, to get what you paid for. I do not care if the prices are 10x what they would be, there's a high chance you'd still end up paying far more than this if you gamble with crystals.

 

Really, if a micro-upgrade is 500 crystals and you fail multiple times, to get nothing, whoooops there goes thousands of crystals down the drain. And you have to do this perhaps multiple times for EACH upgrade. Sure, there is a chance, a very very SLIM chance to get twice what you paid for, but again...very slim, hardly existent. I really do hate this kind of gamble, it's not fun at all, completely slows everything down, and it just doesn't fit in with the Tanki Online image. I would rather pay 5,000 for a sure thing, than 500 for a mere chance. Financial security.

 

Sure, you might say I could just not use it, which is a pretty weak response. But if I want to actually gain some ground in this game, I just don't want to take such unnecessary risks for a few small upgrades here and there. And there's a lot of micro-upgrades, that's a lot of gambling, and a great lot of losses, and again, I'd rather pay more to be secure than risk losing a healthy chunk of money over...what, 0.5% damage increase. And I'm sure a lot of other players would, too. Do you see what I'm trying to say?

What does power mean on hulls?

It's actually strange to hear that some people don't like MUs. It's really difficult to judge about something you've seen only for a short period of time.

And we are listening to you, when MUs are released we will monitor the situation. If you don't like it, it will most likely be changed or adjusted in some way to make it better for the community.

 

And yes, I have a special sheet of paper where I write down all the suggestions that you guys make and show it to game designers. Your opinion means a lot to us.

It actually isn't that strange to why people dislike MUs. There's an obvious reason to why people dislike it. This is because of the "Unsuccessful upgrade". It's because of that many people will lose a huge amount of crystals. It's really that simple. Please would you write in your special sheet to remove the unsuccessful upgrade. You said that our opinions count. If this is request is declined, you simply aren't letting this opinion be accepted for the better of the community. Edited July 28, 2013 by Endurance

Strange!? What about all updates starting with famous 'rebalance' and worst update 123 ???

 

p.s. you use special sheet of paper instead computer?  :D

No, I think he really does have a piece of paper where he takes notes of ideas. :D

Ha! Now that's rich coming from you. Why don't you go ahead and tell us another session of MU testing is coming this week... Because that's what you said last week.

A question about let's say Isida:

 

Now it does 50% self-healing of the damage dealt right?

When Micro-Upgrades come out you'll be able to upgrade the self-healing but if you buy just M3 Isida stock it will do 50% self healing and when self-healing max let's say 75%, or is M3 Isida stock 25% self-healing and when max 50% like it is now?

They already spent a lot of time on creating MU, they won't cancel or remove it completely, maybe they'll change some stuff but it will come and stay, no matter how many people complain about it.

I didn't say I wanted them to cancel it, I just want them to change it. This is by removing the successful upgrade bar. They should make it a simple button "Upgrade". This is including the "Speed up" button. This will make it "cheap" as the devs said it would be. This will actually change the attitude towards MUs. Give this a test on Test Server and trust me, it will receive better feedback.

[VectorSierra 199]

Why don't give it a "One more chance" bar? That would be nice...

[samson672002 0]

If you upgrade your isida 50%.(micro-upgrade)

Will the real upgrade be 50% cheaper?

 

Or if you upgrade your isida for 1000 cry. (micro-upgrade)

Will the real upgrade be 1000 cry cheaper?

no it may not happen:D

:D  :ph34r:  ;)

It sure is in progress, after a month it'll still be in progress.

They really should remove that option for it to be successful! You're right and I hope Semyon puts that down!

lol That's hilarious. Seriously though, I don't care if the prices are like a hundred cry each, I just want to know I can hit upgrade and be sure I will get an upgrade.

[A.I.M.B.0.T 173]

What's the point of upgrading 0.2 damage/speed/protection??? You have to upgrade like 30 times to get a discount . Please make it minimum = 5 , max = 8 . So that we don't have to waste our time on that sliding bar

here s 1 nice example:-



Refund is done only when specs of guns/tanks/paints etc, (so for example you bought inferno and it has protection 40% on freez  but then they(not us we cant even give good ideas  since they r ignoring it) changed it to 50
so they give you a refund) ;)                

 

lol fbi answered to my question. btw but we r able to improve the protections...since when????    ..............since tanki s thinking to release ..a new. update....after what...we lost our crystals on noob things :P   ,,,,(we didnt know that this should happen...... anyway ...just lets wait. and see

when i upgrade my weapon and turn off my computer,it gonna continue the upgrade?

[Remaine 4,687]

Let's hope it forever stays in progress or gets called off.

I'd much rather have you work on Madness.

You wish. Same thing happened to rebalance where majority of players wishes that the devs would call off that project when they're already halfway with it.

I'm pretty sure Madness will be next on their list on "in progress" in the 'in development' plan.

It is delayed to make it better. The longer we test it, the fewer bugs it has, and so on.

 The current stats of Isida will not be lowered. So if it is 50% now, you will be able to mucro-upgrade the healing feature. It's not clear how much at the moment.

 

when i upgrade my weapon and turn off my computer,it gonna continue the upgrade?

Yes, you don't need to keep your PC on all the time.

I tested last night and noticed a bug.  About 1 in every 10 or so times I did a MU, the bar would just get stuck sliding back and forth and never stop.  It would leave me completely stuck in the MU screen and the only way to get out of it was to close out the game tab and restart a new one and log back into the test server.  Not sure if it was just a test server problem or what, but I just want to bring it to attention and see if anybody else had this problem.
