Paint Separation Update

[P_U_N_I_S_H_E_R 732]

It would be handy, but I think it would be really bad if we could see others shooting bar. Think of a 1v1 XP/BP, or any XP/BP, it would eliminate the need of skill, which is what this modules system seems to do.

Notice I did say "teammates"

[Bugs.meeny 1,013]

'Can players decide what defensive attribute they want on the modules or does TO have a fixed turret resistance on all modules'

I think not. in the test server, the modules were already setup. It would be cool to be able to add modules together tho

I didnt notice. On that, it would be nice

I believe this update, in its current form, is the worst thing to hit us for an awful long time, if not the worst!
Let me explain...
 
First of all, as I understand it, Legacy resistances modules can only be upgraded to their current resistance limits.
 
Take Tiger for example; (image)


But, let's say somebody buys a new Trio module for Smoky, Rail and Hammer then proceeds to upgrade that to 50-50-50  - you can clearly see which one would be better.

 

 
Like most of the top paints I have bought, Tiger is maxed out and if I paid full price for it, then the paint + mu's would have cost in the region of 700,000 crystals.
 
I feel this Legacy module to be 3rd Rate now and I'm certainly not going to buy a new module to eke out 22% more for Rail.
 
Now I thought about this, when Episode 93 of the v-log was published and I submitted a well thought out and practical solution with regard to this.
 

Here is that solution

 

 
I would appreciate it if you could reply to this and acknowledge what I have said here.
 
thanks...

Virtually. The modules have set protections, like paints do now, but it is possible with all the modules to combine ANY 3 turrets and get 50% protection from all 3 of them.

i understand all what is going on with protections..

 

what were up in arms about is that the 15% protection on premium pass will be now gone and that gift from Cedric is not going to happen... this was the one he gave players for the next three days along with other items due to the virus

 

now for the ones looking for Hazels message so far nothing i have looked every where and all i see is all about the modules even in the v-log from 0.34 to 2.20  in v-log 93

 

i also went to his postings under his name and went all the way back to  Oct 2015 when players were talking about 20% on paint when it all started

So, the older players in Tanki waisted a lot of earned crystals for special protection/paint combinations which will be worthless in the new system. Thanks again, Tanki! Also, I do not like to see my opponents properties. It is just the fun and the surprising element in battle which is taken away with this new R-mode. No, I can't be very enthusiastic about this one.

You are dead right there.  I do not want people seeing my profile as it is.  It is my concern.  I certainly do not want my tanks status  displayed.  No one asked me.  I am quite happy not seeing anyone else status either.  I care less about the paints but the R is the biggest mistake.  Why don't they just get on and fix all the other problems that people are concerned about, multing, hacking and bullying, misogyny, bad and aggressive language within the game etc.  R will probably suit the brainless who are incapable thinking anything out for them selves.  By far the worst update by far and will be bound to place another nail in the proverbial coffin.  The Sword of Damocles is dangling even more precariously.

I want to combine my traceur paint with fracture. It will look dope

[Maf 32,300]

Well I think everyone who purchased Premium recently would disagree with you there. :o

I feel for them and it's going to be the last straw for some no doubt.

I don't know why this seems like such big of a deal. The paint protection was only a tiny part of what players get Premium accounts. They still have:

• The special Premium paint texture (now usable with any strong modules and not just some lame 15%)
• The red rank icon
• The 50% EXP bonus
• The double crystal rewards
• Ability to purchase XT items

I doubt that many real Premium players will care much about the protections being removed. Most buyers with premium have a ton of better paints anyway, so for them this will actually be a good update since they can use the paint combined with more relevant protections for the particular battle.

 

Pretty sure that most players complaining are those who get Premium for free from missions or as a compensation for the 11th July disaster.

That's not how this update works. You don't visually combine paints, you can only use protections from paints with any other paint.

[Cor7y 13,862]

What about kits now? Do we get protections with them now? Of do we pay for a paint coat and have to buy the protections latter? 

 

With kits, now that you can buy any protections, I thing once you buy a kit every set of protection modules should go at the same discount of the kit for the next 1 hour, or till you have bought 1 of them.

 

 

 

Example:

 

You buy Minotaur kit, it has a 40% discount.

 

Now every protection module in your garage will be at a 40% discount for 1 hour, or till you buy one of them. Once you buy one the discounts will disappear.

I would prefer that they just take the paints off the kits, because this nuba update has ruined my plans for my alt....

regardless ,, how do you know if i was not planning on getting on soon .. you have no clue .. and we all have rights to complain .. you have no problems you get bonuses from tanki .. we have to pay for our crystals or earn them in  battle... you just want to provoke others ..

 

did you find the post where he said it .. i can say not cause i have looked every where in the English servers

I have used the premium paint at times and have found 15% to be very useful.   Don,t forget 15% is better than 0% and on Isida for instance can mean the difference life or death to the victim or the Isida.

Will we be able to upgrade modules to have more protection (like 50%)? 

[impaleferno_XXX 38]

How will this update affect XP/BP?

[AbsoluteZero 3,729]

The old paints will now be called Legacy modules. These modules cannot be upgraded past their current limits.

 

New modules will be upgradable to 50% for the resistances they have.

[altyoda 3]

Or 3 months, I have friends who just bought 3 months worth on July 4, suckers !

 

simple answer here is if you paid with cc or paypal just call cc company and ask for chargeback of funds from your tanki purchase

[GOLD_BOX_TAKEN_BY 584]

Ok just do one thing

 

 

release any single color paint (like this) with 3/4 module protection

i dont need any fancy paint any more

[ELIZABETH1122 337]

I know how work place politics carries on.  Groups and departments have to show that they are worth employing, they believe that something Juicy no matter how crass is better than grinding away on fixing laborious problems.  The more complex the more flashy the better to impress an employer who demands improvements.  Constantly change things for the sake of it.  A grand plan
It shows that they are forward looking and worth while they might believe, to justify existence.  Their is often inter and intra departmental competition especially when things are down 

 

Tanki has lost customer support, servers used to be booming, now with fewer servers one has to look around for a non empty one.  It surely must be making less revenue than it was, folk must be insecure.  

 

In fact, it is dealing with the boring, the lag, the multing and all the other things that we have been constantly grumbling about is far more important than flashy grand plans.  That would have actually stopped the membership sliding down the slope into the sea.  All that has been going on now seems a bit desperate to my eyes.

well i went threw the whole artical and it says this and that it was to happen tomorrow but nothing in the page said anything about premium paints or accounts..

TO plans on:

 

1. Updating paints which will only change the way your tanks looks but not have any defensive attributes or resistance to your tanks. In other words, the paints you will buy will not have any protection form turrets

Thank you. Now, what about XP/BP paints? Will there be new specialized modules with the necessary protections for M2 Hornet, M2 Wasp, and M3 Wasp?

bad idea in my low account premium paint rocks and we cant have big paints.

[c_r_o_t_t_e_r 3]

Absolutely moronic and completely pointless "update" that achieves nothing.

 

Making the game worse with every useless "update" is all that can be expected of these "developers"

[Read_My_Lips 204]

Thank you. Now, what about XP/BP paints? Will there be new specialized modules with the necessary protections for M2 Hornet, M2 Wasp, and M3 Wasp? 

No because that is not necessary. You just equip a module, whether it's a single, double or trio that has 10%/20% railgun protection, depending on what hull you're using.
