Update 208 — Micro-upgrades and crystals for ranks!

[LaserShark 2,095]

And I'm not usually this adamant, but the not being able to use something while it is upgrading is idiotic.

Yeah I did consider this kind of strange.

But thinking about it, it isn't that bad an idea. It's a way for buyers to have something to buy that makes their life easier yet doesn't give them an advantage in battle.

I can live with it, just upgrade before I go to bed.

Good job.

I noticed that if I'm upgrading a turret or a hull, even if I want to join a battle without the upgrades, I can't join.

I think that it should be allowed to use the turret or the hull while upgrading in battles that are without the upgrades.

This is awesome because it will be easier to upgrade weapons but to some people it will be a disadvantage

because people will upgrade their weapon to the fullest which kind of "bullies" people who have no more crystals to upgrade

Questions.

 

When micro upgrading, I see it takes a certain number of steps to fully upgrade. Each MU costs X amount of crystals and you get a Y boost for that modification.

Is there a table you can supply for each step, detailing X and Y for every item in the garage?

 

 

My m2 Thunder has 5 parameters and 68 MU steps in total.

Can you go into detail a bit more on how discount is earned for the next m3.

What if I just fully upgrade 1 of the 5 parameters, how is that percentage determined?

Say if Parameter 1of5 has 19 steps and parameter 3of5 just has 4 steps.

Does just fully upgrading parameter 3of5 for get me 1/5th of 70% off an m3 or does it get me 4/68th of 70% off?

 

Thanks

It would be nice if the developers or Archangel could demonstrate how many crystals you spend when you fully micro-upgrade a particular hull versus how many crystals you spend when you click on the old fully upgrade M1 to M2 button...

 

If the cost of the crystals is significantly higher than the wait time to rank up and click on full upgrade button, then it might make more sense to just wait, save crystals and rank up...I think I can explain this better with some examples...

 

Take Freeze for instance...M1 Freeze becomes available at rank W01 and M2 Freeze at W05....that's not a very significant ranking time..so to fully upgrade to a M2 Freeze, you a spend a total of 84000 crystals....if you wait for a sale like 50% to purchase this turret, that can be yours at 42000 crystals....fully upgraded. Now, imagine you slowly keep micro-upgrading, probably the number of crystals spent is even more...even if there is a discount of micro-upgrades, remember that after every upgrade of a parameter, you cannot upgrade again for several hours...so if the sale of MU lasts only a day, its better to wait to fully upgrade than to MU

 

However, take Firebird....M1 Firebird becomes available at rank Master Sergeant and M2 Firebird at Major....that's a very very significant ranking time....so to fully upgrade to a M2 Firebird, you need to spend a total of 101700 crystals and it will probably take you a few months before you rank up to Major....in this case, slowly micro-upgrading is definitely profitable, provided that you wait to MU the last parameters during a MU sale (I think it will come ;-) )....then, when you rank up to Major, you can purchase the M2 turret at a possible 70% MU discount and a 50% turret sale for 15255 crystals

 

Of course, this needs a lot of patience and dedication to the game and you need to stay focused on not wasting your crystals...and a little luck from Tanki gods to shine more sales, contests, double battle funds and gold boxes

[Go_Ham 4]

I'm close to ranking to Third Liutenant does that mean I get 32,000 crystals or was it only for the Micro-upgrades?

Very grateful for my 25,000 :)...  Just wanna be sure
