Lower Prices For Micro Upgrades

[Timetoplaythegame_2 24]

The current Micro Upgrade prices are ridiculous, too high for everyone to be able to do them, only a very small amount of people can get them, and that gives that small amount of people a huge advatange, the prices should be available for all players, so that there's fair even battles.

They are and should be expensive as if you micro as much as possible, your gun/tank becomes technically, the next modification above (M3 can become, in theory, M4!!) The trick with micro's is to wait for a good sale on micro's and buy them then. I wouldn't really worry to much about them at your rank. Get some M2's/M3's first before upgrading. Here is my Railgun M3 micro's: http://prntscr.com/4p9f11

 

I upgraded this when I had a ton of crystals and the day after, there was a discount!!

some people do all the mu's in one go, that's how much money they have, also even with an mu sale normal people couldn't afford to get many mu's, have you seen how much they are ?

Yes but they are worth the money. Look at this topic. When you rank up, you can get crystals and this should be enough to pay for quite a lot of micro's if you save up and buy them only on sales.

I have the link with all mu's and prices, and know that I won't be able to afford them, it would take me momths to save up that many crystalls.

I agree.  At least before m3 they should be cheaper, or at least reduce the rate at which cost scales.  Right now the default advice given to most players is to wait until m3 for microupgrades, or only to get the first couple cheap microupgrades that offer the largest improvement.  Most players ignore them because it is better to save your money to buy a real upgrade, you will never recover the cost, not only do they get reset but you do not even get a discount without completely maxing out a stat.  So you end up throwing money away on a temporary 0.01% boost to a single stat.  So more players end up skipping them entirely and it doesn't fulfill its function as a cash sink between upgrades.

 

If the price of m0-m2 microupgrades scaled more slowly players would be more inclined to purchase them.  Once more players had MUed equipment others would perceive themselves at a disadvantage and would be inclined to MU as well.  M3 prices should remain where they are since players are forced to microupgrade to be competitive.

you definitely get the cost back,if you micro the right stats...

yes of course, mu's help, I'm just saying that they cost too much, if I did isida m3 full mu it would cost somewhere around 800 k crystalls, it's way too much.

I think he has a high account, just FYI.

 

I think MUs are OK right now. They give you a good edge and have no rank requirements once you've purchased the item in question, so it's natural that they're somewhat expensive.

İsida is most first or second cheap gun o.O

Isida is not cheap, I got it on the sale at 80 k something, but cheap or expsince isn't the issue here, I'm talking about MU's.

[wild001 786]

only mu when you get m3.

[Timetoplaythegame_2 24]

I have M3, this isn't the account I play on, and the MU's are ridiculously expensive, out of every 1000 people maybe 3 people can afford it, and that makes those 3 people unfairly much stronger, everyone deserves to have a fair chance, isida m3 fully is something like 800 k, only really rich people can afford that, and all the rest have to just sit there and get killed because they are less fortunate, they should be approachable to everyone.

So for 99.7% of people it is a very slow incremental process with diminishing returns, just like it was designed to be.  That seems alright with me.  Meanwhile the feature is wasted due to price for m0-m2 because everyone skips it.

when they do game updates, it can go your way or against you, with the last game update it went against me, but with full mu's, you still have an advantage over someone who doesn't have them.

yeah,with the mus,you perform better,so getting more points,so getting more crystals,to mu again,i'm doing that with viking m3,261 hp and i bought it on the tanker day,always becoming better,with m2 weapons

also if you feel facing mued is unfair.. it's like facing m3 with m2

Viking is a great tank, fully MU'd, the armor/HP goes to 300, which is great, considering the speed, and power, but to get those mu's will take some time, unless you're rich, that is your personal information.

[Eragon 13,876]

Yea. 70 k for m3's. each upgrade! 

[dilsharox 2,395]

im ok with the price cuz crys buyers will hv all there m3 fully MUed bt it takes too long 2 upgrade i parameter & when a parameter of a particular turret IS MUing it affects the whole turret which'll eventually take about a week to fully MU a turret

do you think they don't have the money to do the quick finish, if they have more than 200k to fully mu, they have money to quick update, and even if it took a week, in the end they will still have a turrt with 2 times the power

it'll take more than 500K to fully MU a m3 & most of the buyers dont keep on buying crys & evn if they didtn MU it they will still use drugs no matter wt & players like u who dont use drugs at all gets destroyed everytime

consider the first steps on isida must be hell cheap and powerful,as it is the first m3 unlock... you should be able to get a good power without spending too much crystals imo.. much like viking

[Timetoplaythegame_2 24]

if you look at at full m3 mu, they start from 200 k per parameter

[Mr.71 123]

I am not a buyer, but find it okay, just mu over time and in sales, you will get your turrets, tanks and paints there in time.
