invalid Different design for M3+ (M4) equipment

[RIDDLER_8 5,553]

Topic merged

 

Not sure about M4, but developers already have something planned in terms of a visual difference for tanks. Apparently they want to incorporate XT textures into existing weapons so that you won't have to buy and upgrade them separately. This isn't the same thing, but it's likely that "M4" tanks will also have a unique texture.

When Legend players buy a new turret, hull or module, there must be an M4 modification to buy as a whole complete M4 modification.

Please can you explain what type of visual difference for tanks developers are planning.

 

What do you mean by incorporating XT textures into existing weapons?

 

Do you mean that XT will disappear altogether.

Right now if you want to get XT, you need to buy a whole new separate turret or hull. And that's very inconvenient if you already have the normal version of that turret/hull and even worse if you already have it fully upgraded. So right now you might buy a normal turret, upgrade it, but when if you want to get XT, you need to buy that and upgrade it also. It's a massive waste of crystals.

 

So what developers want to do is make it so that XT versions of the equipment are just "skins", which you can buy and equip onto your existing items. I'm not sure exactly how they want to do it (they didn't announce yet), but I think they might add a new modification of the item, where you upgrade your item for 500k but you only get the XT texture without any increase to parameters. That way you won't have to upgrade your items all over again or buy separate alterations for them.

 

So yes, the current XTs as  separate items will disappear, but the textures will be merged with the normal weapons.

King idea!

And what will happen to those people who already have XT? will they be compensated or the skins will be merged with their m3s? will modification below m3 be able to buy that?

No idea. But I assume that the two items will get merged and the higher MU level will be used. If you had Thunder M3 36/50 and Thunder M3 Xt 43/50, you will end up with Thunder M3 43/50 that has an XT skin.

 

As for those who have an XT item and normal item, both at 50/50 - those players will just end up with one 50/50 item. Yes it's a waste, but oh well   ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thank you so much Maf for clearly explaining about the future plan for XT turrets and hulls.

 

I do agree with you that you need to buy a whole new separate turret or hull that costs 500,000 crystals, plus fully micro upgrading it costs an additional 1 million crystals. That is a huge waste in crystals.

 

It is a much better idea to buy skins for a very cheap price in crystals, for example, XT skin costs 1000 crystals. Once the skin is purchased and applied to a turret and hull it must upgrade the parameters of turrets and hulls a bit further so that an M4 modification really become an M4 modification. Both the look and the few extra micro upgrades will do the trick on making an M4 turret or hull a top modification for all turrets and hull.

 

1. What will happen to XT turrets and hulls that players already purchased?

 

2. Shall they remain in players garages who purchased them.

 

At the moment I am doing an XT super mission. My reward is Mammoth XT.

 

 

Please answer my two questions above.

 

Thank you.

1. XT turrets and hulls that you already have would be merged with their normal versions. If you don't have the normal version, then it will probably just be given to you.

2. If a player already has XT, they won't lose the XT item(s).

[Maf 32,312]

OK...  not planned then.

[stanzhang 3,291]

LOL :P I really wanted to get one of those skins, looks like this is canceled.

[nubyet 24]

This is not planned.

A fully MU'd double-damage shot right into the conversation.....

I only have the normal M4 Mammoth already.

 

I do not have Thunder M3 or Viking M3. Shall the disappearance of XT turrets and hulls give me a full M3 or M4 turret and hull for free?

[Maf 32,312]

I think Hazel might be talking specifically about the "different design for M4" not being planned, rather than XT skins. They're different things.

That would be one of the best idea ever... I have "normal" Viking M4 and Viking XT I got through a mission. I barely use the XT, since the normal is M4. And I would be really stupid to upgrade the XT, especially when MU sales never apply to XT.

 

It's the same for my Vulcan. Normal is 12/50 and XT is 2/50. Yes, not a big difference, I know. But if I need to upgrade Vulcan, I will just wait a sale and upgrade the normal one.

hold on. Are you saying that the turrets /hulls and XT textures will merge?! :o

I was. But it's not certain now since Hazel said this isn't planned. But he did say in the livestream that he wants to do turn XT items into skins at some point.

same basics as Minecraft skins?

[Maf 32,312]

Not really, since they don't want to add ability to make and use your own custom skins.

[r_I_already_won0 2,339]

Well, it will be more of a basic texture.  Keep in mind that paints are also a sort of skin, which is applied over the basic texture of the tank.

[SpeedyRailgun 183]

But we have this ability and we use it.

Wouldnt it be better to get special skins for all modifications? Lets say if i MU my mammoth m0 fully i get mmmoth bronze skin which i can change to mammoth m1 skin but i cant MU this bronze skin further. It just stays with me till i buy mammoth m1 which is for free.

 

When i MU my mammoth m1 fully i get silver skin but i cant MU my silver skin

 

When i MU my mammoth m2 fully i get carbon/silver skin but i cant MU my carbon/silver skin

 

When i MU my mammoth m3 fully i get Gold skin.

[Maf 32,312]

It's not official and you're not allowed to use it. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

sad that this is not planned.

With today's stats it's also fine if you are M3+40/50.. once you've reached that, there is not much of a point to spend more crystals on MUs (ok, maybe for a few turrets it makes a difference in shots-to-kill).

 

It would be "only" a graphics job and not much coding (define M4 as turret and hull, make it not purchaseable but make it reachable via microupgrading M3) and it would motivate a lot more players to go full M4.

[Superninja59 0]

Fully mu-ing m3 turrents and hulls changes it to xt and buying xt comes with fully mu-ed m3 and not only m3. You can increase the price to balance it.
