Paint Separation Update

[lordmostafa 3,821]

my other concern's are the cost of the paints along with ,do we need to still upgrade them.. if so will it be crazy in price as it is now..??

 

so what I"m getting from above statement is even with the paint we have we still have to buy the modules for there protections...so if we have a 4 tier we still need to get protection for the paints we all ready have which we have all ready paid for

 

this means were paying double for the same items we have in our garage

No, you got it wrong. ALL the paints that you have now will be split in two, module and a paint, and you will get both of them. So you won't have to buy your paints again :)

Great update, looking forward to it!

[MiR4cUl0uS 815]

All current protections will not be available. Meaning after the update, you will be able to buy ONLY the paint, and not the module, forever (like you can't buy the protection that Zeus has now. which is 25 Smoky 25 Freeze and 50 Fire), only people who already bought the paint before the update will have that module. There will be completely new modules to buy.

Ah okay thanks!

So basically there is just the 'paint'' what you can buy, and the protection you can buy, and you can attach the protection to each paint you wish?

So basically the special paints lose their protection? That's a pity.

They will lose their protection for now, but apparently developers are planning to add something else to compensate for it, so that helpers and eSports players will have something extra in addition to the unique texture.

 

So if I have MU's on Emerald, I can't add any new protections other than Thunder, Railgun, and Twins? Or will those MU's be on the paint, but I can add other protections in the module system?

The protections will be from the same 1/2/3/4 turrets as you had before. You won't be able to add or remove any more. With MUs you can only upgrade the existing protections, unless your paint is already full MU right now, in which case you will be given a fully upgraded mudule.

 

Very cool update, just one question: Why would some paints become more expensive when all that is happening to them is the removal of their protection?

It's possible that paints' prices will depend on how pretty the paint looks, so if Zeus will cost 100 000 crystals (price may change) after the update and have no protections, then players will buy it and wear it to show off their status and how rich they are.

 

WHY!? Why you make these updates for paints anyway? We know witch is paint protected! -_-

The number of paints became too great after the paints with protections from Vulcan and Hammer were added, so newbies are having a lot of trouble remembering them all. Besides, a lot of paints became obsolete after a while and high ranked players who liked certain paints like Swash, In Love or Lava weren't able ti use them because having good protection was more important.

 

Not to mention that this completely solves the problem with XP/BP battles because now players can use any paint they want without being limited by protections from Railgun.

 

wa? that's no matter with Green balls, mafisoso! even twins can be Blue! ;)

Well, I guess newbies (and all of us too) will just have to figure it out...

 

Still easier to remember 11 symbols than all protections from all 70+ paints.

 

So basically there is just the 'paint'' what you can buy, and the protection you can buy, and you can attach the protection to each paint you wish?

That's correct.

No, Twins is the three green balls.

I thought it was the one with the brick...  :D

Several questions:

1. How you see the protection of a far away tank when using smoky, vulcan or railgun?

2. I bought a redpool paint. It is not a standard paint. What will become of it?

3. I also have loam paint which protects against 4 weapons. Will I still have it?

4. There were paints that I bought that make your tank blend with the environment such as dirty which goes well with the protection against shaft and railgun. Now you say that blending is not a part of the protection anymore, right?

5. Will there be a protection paint against mines (such as premium paint)?

[B_A-R_T 493]

Cedric give us rebalance pls :D

 

Waiting for answer: Not possible due economics ^^

[ToiletPaperRoll 1,318]

Rubbish because paints without protection will cost too much and kits will totally lose its value.

Please tell me I'm dreaming, removal of protection from special paints?  I'm trying not to overreact and be angry now, but I worked hard for this paint and if it's taken away then..........................

[SpeedyRailgun 183]

nice!!!

Gonna get grafiti paint :D

[Mr.Ace 1,116]

ummm dont understand the premium helper and stuff thing , i think those special paints should remain as they are , i literally dont understand the point of this , well lets see what happens tomorrow , but i think the paints are just fine the way they are right now , if this turns out to be a bad update ...... Take it back , or many people will leave the game i tell ya.

[theFiringHand 21,352]

Oh ok, thanks for clearing that out!

Pssh. Cedric, check pm.

Saw your message. Will take me a couple of days to get to you, so please bear with me.

 

No, you got it wrong. ALL the paints that you have now will be split in two, module and a paint, and you will get both of them. So you won't have to buy your paints again :)

ATTENTION: NOT all paints. There are some special paints that will not give you a protection module. Please read the original post carefully.

 

...but apparently developers are planning to add something else to compensate for it, so that helpers and eSports players will have something extra in addition to the unique texture.

 

We still don't know the details, so let's not speculate.

 

The protections will be from the same 1/2/3/4 turrets as you had before. You won't be able to add or remove any more. With MUs you can only upgrade the existing protections, unless your paint is already full MU right now, in which case you will be given a fully upgraded mudule.

It's best to wait for tomorrow and see for yourselves how it will work out.

 

It's possible that paints' prices will depend on how pretty the paint looks, so if Zeus will cost 100 000 crystals (price may change) after the update and have no protections, then players will buy it and wear it to show off their status and how rich they are.

We don't have any details about pricing yet. What you're saying is a possibility, but not necessarily what will happen.

2. I bought a redpool paint. It is not a standard paint. What will become of it?

5. Will there be a protection paint against mines (such as premium paint)?

1.  According to what was said in the first post, you can just press R and you will see a floating window will all protections and MU levels of enemies in sight. Whether or not it will be visible for enemies far away or not - I don't know. Let's wait and see. If tomorrow there will be something you don't like about the update, post your suggestions to improve it in the announcement topic.
2. Red Suit is a standard paint with 2 protections. It will turn into a normal Red Suit paint with no protections and a Duo module with protection from Vulcan and Isida at whatever MU level you have now.
3. Yes, that will be a Legacy module with 4 protections. The only modules with 4 protections will be ones you already have now (or buy today). No new modules will have 4 protections, so Legacy modules will be somewhat rare after a while.
4. You still have the paint itself, so if you like camouflage, you can equip the paint and combine it with any protection you need. That's the whole idea of this update - to make paints more useful :)
5. Will check that and get back to you later. I know for a fact that Premium paint and all other paints with protection from all turrets and mines will lose their protection completely and become simply paints. Developers will do something about it eventually.

This is like blue box apocalypse... you are right many ppl will leave game

Several questions:

1. How you see the protection of a far away tank when using smoky, vulcan or railgun?

I don't think you can. If you know your target's username, you can check on the Tab screen and see how much protection they have against your turret. If you don't know...yeah, you're out of luck.

2. I bought a redpool paint. It is not a standard paint. What will become of it?

You'll keep the paint and have the protection transferred to a module called "Module Red Suit", which will have the same MU potential as the current paint.

3. I also have loam paint which protects against 4 weapons. Will I still have it?

Yes, you will keep the paint and get a module called "Module Loam".

4. There were paints that I bought that make your tank blend with the environment such as dirty which goes well with the protection against shaft and railgun. Now you say that blending is not a part of the protection anymore, right?

I don't think the developers really factored in the camouflage as part of the long-range protection. This update will be good for camouflage since you can pick a paint that has good camo and use a module that has good long range resistances.

5. Will there be a protection paint against mines (such as premium paint)?

Yes, if what I've seen on the test server is correct there will be a single mine paint with up to 50% resistance at M3+.

"If you’ve always loved the Tiger paint, but don’t find those protections useful, with this update you’ll be able to combine your Tiger paint with another set of protections that is more useful for your playing style."

does this mean we can change the protection like say i have zeus can i change my protection to railgun
