Declined Partial micro-upgrades give a partial discount on next modification

[MrCheezyPotato 850]

So after that mu update a while back (that pretty much ruined mu-ing for anyone below M3), you wernt able to really partly upgrade your mu-ed items anymore then buy the full product. Now you have to either go for all 50 upgrades and spend a ridiculous amount of crystals and possibly get the chance to maybe get the item early for you rank, or you wait to be able to buy it at once and save crystals, but you get pummeled by the druggers and buyers.

 

Before the update, you could upgrade the more important stats you NEEDED, then you got a bit of a discount on the full product after fully mu-ing that particular parameter.... That way you could do some mu-ing to try and keep up with the druggers and buyers, but you wouldnt have to waste tens of thousands of crystals more than if you just waited and bought it at once. 

 

Now if you want to mu, you pretty much have to go all the way. Once you pass the 20mu mark, youv wasted way too many crystals already. 

 

 

Now, im going to think from the point of veiw of someone who wants to make as much money as possible irl from people buying crystals....

 

This current system deters many many players from mu-ing. Yeah, sure, the few who do mu probably spend lots an lots of money to do it, which is good(For whoever is getting the cash :P).

But if more people could and wanted to in the first place, more crystals would be bought overall, and everyone would be happier. 

 

So... maybe if there were certain points in the mu-ing process where the player would get discounts by mu-ing, then more people mu(i know many people who would, including me).

Say that someone spent crystals 10 mu. They would then get like 5% off of the full item. if they did 25 mu, they would get like 30% off. If they did 40mu, they would get like 60% off.(Then if they did all 50, obviously they got 100% off :P) Because people would know they wernt locked into either fully mu-ing or none at all, more would mu, and the game would get more money and the people in charge of that would all be happy

 

 

Oh yeah, the players would probably like it too, but who cares about them anyways? :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Btw, i didnt mean to personally offend anyone(cause i know if they devs are pissed they may not listen... :ph34r: no, im kidding, lol)

It was just for the sake of the argument :P

I can't understand why the discounts per completed characteristic were removed, taking into account that if a player micro upgrade an item, it costs the double of its normal price. And if the player micro upgraded it, taking advantage of the casual discounts, at the end, it would still cost over the normal price.

What I am trying to say is that, if a player got a discount per step, he/she could increase this discount with a sale; and so, the player would avoid the overhigh price and might get the item even cheaper than its normal price.

I have almost 400k crystals and still no PDs on M2 equipment (but idc :D I wouldn't waste on M2s anyway)

[MrCheezyPotato 850]

Going back on topic, I dont see how the newer MU system made anything better other than getting next modification free(not really free cause it costs almost double)? Can anyone tell me? Didn't make it cheaper or less time, only made it hard to upgrade the part of the item that you really want (damage or armor for me), and it took away the discounts for parameters. In my opinion, MUs were better before

It made it so that the amount of time it takes to fully mu is cut by a bit. But who wants to be spending more crystals overall, faster? I would rather have the extra time to wait so i could earn back the crystals i spent :P

 

Well....

It now is easier to calculate how much it will cost

way to be optimistic  ;)   :P

You know how if you Micro-upgrade something to 10/10 you get the next "M" for free? I think there should be discounts like that depending on how much you MU'd something. For example, say I MU my Thunder M2 to 5/10, I should get 50% discount on Thunder M3 (when I reach the rank needed to unlock it, of course).

 

1/10 MUs = 10% discount on next "M"

2/10 MUs = 20% discount

3/10 would be 30% discount

and so on....

When you take into account the fact that personal discounts are usually in the 40+% range and can go all the way up to 100%, 3 per year does not seem so bad anymore. Also, two things: it hasn't been a year since PDs were introduced yet; and if you only got 3 so far, then you're just unlucky. I got at least 7 PDs since they were introduced and used 2 or 3 of them.

Iv gotten 2 EVER :P

 

Tho they were pretty damn op..... one was Wasp M1....20% discount....( <_<) and the other was Titan M1....30%....( <_<)

 

First of all, i ABSOLUTELY HATE WASP SO MUCH. It sucks. (plus i have a challenge not to upgrade it at all so when i get m4 hammer and Thunder i can do some epic parkour B) ) But still, its ridiculously cheap anyways.....so 20% is nothing.....

 

And for Titan...well.... Yeah, it isnt THAT bad... but.... I was 3rd Lt..... Like....REALLY? I was fighting M3s already (kits, fully mued) and i was offered M1? (I bought it anyways though :P, cause i figured i may as well since it might be useful in the future as a barricade in tight maps, and i needed something better then Mammy)

 

I have only received 3 personal discounts since last year as well. But all of them happened when I was low on crystals -,-

Ha! Iv only gotten 2 B)

its easy for someone like you to do because you can play your face off. I and many other tankers however have things to do and places to be.

I dont. I dont really have a life. But still, i cant play my face off :P (i also dont really want to, cause i like my face (ok, not really, but i do like having skin on my face, cause it protects me from the elements and stuff ((ok, again, not really. i seem to always have the bad luck to wipe out on bikes and smash up myself pretty much everywhere(yeah...EVERYWHERE... :P)s m, so all my face has really done was make it so people dont run away in terror if they saw me (ok, not really, they still, run away, but idk if its cause of my looks or cause of my reputation as being....unpredictable in a predicate kind of way (ok, not really... ect.....)))) :P)

 

You are in the minority on that whole 7 PDs already thing. I have only gotten 2 on my main, and 3 on my alt. Personally, PDs are not enough to make up for the lower sale percentages lately- I would like to see either this idea implemented, or PDs occur more often.

 

Let's not forget about test drives. Most people I have asked have not gotten one. In my mind, Tanki really goofed on that whole update (the PD and test drives one).

Oh yeah... i completely forgot test drives were even added......lol..

 

Well, thats exactly the point i guess. They happen so rarely that they are essentially useless. 

 

You all seem to have such a negative view of PDs, would you rather not have them at all?

Actually, yes :P

 

That way the battlefield would be more fair.

Now, a couple people with the EXACT same skill, with the EXACT same combo, with the EXACT same k/d, and the EXACT same win/loss ratio, would most likely have completely different garage qualities by the time they got to gizmo

 

OK, fine. You win. PDs are not a very good bonus.

You know... i kinda feel like you didnt actually believe that :P

Correct me if im wrong thouhg, im just curious :P

There is plenty enough ways to earn crystals.
you are either noon ir iresponcible

...irresponsible*

 

 

 

 

 

Ehhhhhh......Yeah...there are plenty of ways...but that doesn't mean all of them are just as efficient, or fun, or fast..... Sometimes people want to play casually and not have to grind in order to win... that makes it less fun...which is partly the reason i became extremely inactive

 

(btw, im not irresponsible in tanki stuff (i dont think :P) though i bet ppl irl might argue otherwise, lol)

I'd say make this worth while. At 50/50 you get a 100% discount, so 100/50 equals 2. Every micro upgrade drops 2% of the cost so at half way, ypu get it fpr half price.

Thats a good idea, which i agree with, though the first mu of everything are very cheap, so its not actually true that 25/50 upgrades are 50% of the cost of fully mu-ing it.

 

 

tbh? Yes .I would much rather remove PDs and (heck) have 40/45% discounts on (most .at least) majors holidays (Christmas. Tanki B-Day . Iron Days.......)

I agree with both posts :P

PDs are better than nothing, but for a lot of people they don't really help

 

 

 

So? Just because its easy fro you to earn crystals easily, I think you get good missions, tell if I'm wrong, not everyone else can at higher ranks especially, because at higher ranks battles flip really fast because of drugger noobs

[D.a.n.t.e 475]

With the new MU update of 10 steps, I suggest 5% per step.

[Xanny 0]

Say you've micro upgraded something half way and then you decide you want to stop micro upgrading and just but the M1 Or M3 but the price just doesn't decrease once you've put all your crystals into micro upgrading it.

 

Well my idea is to take off that certain amount of crystals off of what people have micro upgraded. so say I was buying Isida M3 I've micro upgraded it 3 times but its still 235 600 What i hope happens is that this price gets reduced every time i put more micro upgrades into it.

 

If Tanki could make this happen I'd be SO happy i know its a lot of effort to be able to change all of the prices 

then i think that would encourage a lot of people to micro upgrade way more often because of how nice that would be!

2/10 MUs = 20% discount

3/10 would be 30% discount

and so on....

That is too much, it could also hurt the economy because some do MUs during sales.

 

5% per each step off the next modification is reasonable I think.

[JoeLemon2 4]

So I had an idea, when  you micro upgraded a turret, earlier there used to be the discount thing like more attributes you upgrade, the higher discount, so maybe, I think devs should make a system for the current one

 

So maybe it should b e like how many ever steps you have done is =% discount, so if I had 6 steps done, I get a discount of total 6%, but if I have 25 steps done, I get 25% discount. See what I mean? and if you fully upgrade your item, you get it for free but if you do 49 steps, you get 49%, so 49% is the max possible.

 

Please don't say that no need cause of Personal Discount because Personal Discounts don't actually happen, I believe they were implemented last year? and I personally, from logging on almost everyday to say "hi" I noticed that I have only recieved a total 3 Personal Discounts, which is not actually making life easier, and as goes for whole sale value discounts, well, what if I'm not into collecting a bunch of stuff to just keep? That makes very little sense. I hope that people don't dumbly argue about Personal Discount and Whole sale discounts, cause they do nothing.

 

Its basically how the system used to be before the update that ruined Mu's. Hope this gets implemented.

This would make the game so much better for non-buyers

[TakeAShower 300]

Like this:

2/10 = 10% discount

5/10 = 30% discount

Fully micro-upgrade your M0 wasp like me. In parkour mode, all weight is set to the not upgraded value. (0/10)

There is one problem, step 1 and 2 are cheap, I don't think together they make 10% of the cost of a next modification,

This is how it used to work and then the system got changed to just a 100% discount at full MUs. I doubt that it will be changed back, but I do like the idea.

3.  We do NOT accept suggestion topics about the following ideas :

♦ Increase/decrease of Gold Boxes' values or drop rates.

♦ Decrease of items' prices.

♦ Increase of battle funds.

I thought u knew the rules :P

[Maf 32,328]

 

 

You're right. I'm not sure why I approved this in the first place.

 

Besides, with the way MUs work now, it doesn't make sense to NOT upgrade your item fully, so this extra benefit in the form of partial sales is not necessary. Status changed.
