[1hitdeath 0]

When a upgrade didnt work, will the system tell it automatically or have to you find out in your own? That because.mu are small upgrades and hars to see if in works, thanks!

Of course, it will tell you.

does anyone know if micro up will be in the test server? before the main server

Answering for the 30th time, yes, of course.

I have a question, m2 smoky and m3 smoky have very little difference in damage and crit percentage. If you can micro-upgrade a modification up to 75% of next one then how will it work for m2 smoky since the difference is so small

(m2: 28-35 and m3: 29-36 damage and 7% to 8% crit percentage) will it go into decimals or something or will the original characteristics of the gun be changed?

Of course, it will tell you.

If you choose not to go the "instantly micro-upgrade" path, will it tell you when the micro-upgrade gets officially implemented on your item?

Yes, it will indicate the time required for the implementation.

Its a good thing (microupdates) but bad thing is that they don't know when they will be there, everybody want to know. Is it this week, this month or this year? Only want to know Or its a long wait

[FederalBureauFBI 2,881]

This month.

Open testing of micro-upgrades

 

[Remaine 4,687]

Micro-upgrades are only temporary?

[semyonkirov 29,038]

Micro-upgrades are only temporary?

They are permanent. You have them as long as you have one modification of a turret or a hull. After you get the next M, you will need to start micro-upgrading it again.

Just tried the micro-updates on the test server, and my reaction is mostly negative. The difference between the first 50% of any upgrade is hardly noticeable. The chance of getting anywhere passed that becomes very slim and you start losing crystals very rapidly. Also discount on the next major (M) upgrade only activates if you have successfully upgraded an entire micro-upgrade (100%). The chances of that are extremely small, and you will waste a substantial amount of crystals.

and you start losing crystals very rapidly.

That's how they get there money from.

I dont want micro upgrades, dont like gambling, I dont like waiting, I dont like paying too much for too less difference.

Micro upgrades will disappoint people.

[r_The-Player20 313]

just tested MU, it... sucks!!

 

1. The time in later upgrades is too long, and you should stop upgrading or lose thousands of crystals once you are a bit more then halfway upgrading MU.

2. The chances are way too slim.

3. The difference is too slim, and there are too many microupgrades.

4. Discount is only if you have all microupgraded. Trying to get the last few upgrades will cost more then upgrading to the next "M" itself.

Tried it out on test server. It's rubbish and a waste of crystals. As you get to the end of upgrading a feature, it is unlikely to get a successful upgrade. It also takes a huge amount of time.

This isn't what I expected of microupgrades. Turns out I may not microupgrade much but focus on upgrading to the next M of my item.

canu explane the micro upgrades for the hulls as well u did with the turet

[r_brandybabyxx0 737]

Um... I think the times should be shortened by 50% on how long it takes to upgrade. If I played tanki online every single day, and wanted to upgrade something to max... those last few upgrades take like 3-5 days?! of not being able to use my equipment???? That or I can spend like 10k crystals. The speed up time price should be halved as well. Also the Success rate...

 

Success rate should be higher... definitely. The last few upgrades, you have like a 1 in 4 chance, or less of success. When the idea was proposed of 'unsuccessful upgrades' weeks ago, I assumed this would happen only 1/4th of the time. But rather its the exact opposite. Success = 1/4th and Unsucess = 3/4th once you're nearing the end of an upgrade path. Tanki is going to make TONS and TONSSSSSS of money if someone wanted to fully micro upgrade something.... seriously it would cost like 150k crystals to fully microupgrade an M1 Smoky......................... due to the unsuccessful occurances + speed up time. Nobody is going to be able to wait without speeding it up, trust me. Unless they simply quit tanki for 5 months while they upgrade their stuff and come back to be OP.... Really, without speeding up the time... with 5 categories of upgrades, a total of 70-100 micro upgrades per item, if the last 75th percentile of upgrades takes 3-5 days...? then that means if 100 upgrades to fully upgrade, 25 of those are going to take 3-5 days.. so 75-125 days? 3-4 months basically? That is so lame. Not even cool. And if someone wanted to do only one category to fully upgrade, it would still take a whole month and a ton of crystals, which due to the unsuccess factor do not cover the cost of the '11% off M3' thing. You spent way more than '11%' of the m3 price just to get that. So this whole update is no no no no. Itll be for buyers mostly. And we talkin biiig buyers. ALso due to the fact that we must FULLY upgrade the category to get our 11% (or whatever %) discounted? It means we must put ourselves through the last couple upgrades if we want refunds. So Its my opinion that M2 upgrades will not be worth it, only M3, and only the beginning. Maybe we can upgrade the first quarter, possibly the second quarter of each category... but no further than that, for sure, unless we're rich + M3 already.

 

Sorry if it sounds like im complaining... itsbecauseiam LOL I just.. sigh. Come on tanki, give your loyal customers a truly beneficial enjoyable update, that doesnt have to make you rich. I know you guys spend time in developing upgrades and keeping things up for us to enjoy.... but then you come bash us who have spent MORE time then you guys have on tanki. The players, the millions of players are the ones paying you not necessarily with their money (some are - actually alot are) but WE ARE GIVING YOU OUR LIVES (Or a good chunk of it) And you hit us with updates like 123 where we have a much harder time earning crystals, and then this now where we have a huge punishment if we dont buy (cause micro-upgrades are very enticing but cost tons of money to speed up, or months of our time)

 

I think I'll be done very soon if something isnt done about this.

 

And btw, to be completely honest, I planned on spending 50 dollars, for like 300k crystals, in hopes of microupgrading my m1 smoky + wasp + m2 rail + m1 firebird to full. And I expected to have at LEAST 200k leftover after fully micro-upgrading all of those hulls/turrets. Now I find out itll cost me 500k crystals to do this? Forget it. You're not getting any of my money tanki. If you would simply be REASONABLE. We would all buy from you if you made it cheaper! Imagine the millions of customers all paying you 10-20 dollars, and only have to do so once a year to get EVERYTHING they wanted?!?!? Basically a 15$ subscription fee to play per year? Think how much money you would make, and we would all be happy. But noooooo! You make that 'subscription' fee cost like 300$ if we wanted to purchase everything we wanted in a year. (including microupgrades) You realize thats more than half the cost of a PS4? Think about what you're doing.

 

Just look at all the comments above mine? And the comments that will start to flood in more and more as other players test out your new 'update.' Arent updates supposed to be positive?

 

Just tried the micro-updates on the test server, and my reaction is mostly negative.

just tested MU, it... sucks!!

 

I dont want micro upgrades, dont like gambling, I dont like waiting, I dont like paying too much for too less difference.

 

 

Until then, our time is much better spent on other games or hobbies where their developers are considerate of their customers.
