Paint Separation Update

[KoKoRocha 9]

Why are paints rank specific and cost so much if they have nothing to offer but looks? Zeus is on equal grounds with standard Green, as far as protection goes. A Recruit should be able to buy any paint, after all, it's just paint. Why so expensive? Since the paints have nothing to offer, then why not just sell them for 1,000 crystals?

 

Imagine this scenario:

 

You walk into a car dealership with the intention of buying a new car. You see two cars sitting side by side, one is plain yellow and the other is yellow with a white stripe.

 

You like yellow, so your interested.

 

You look to see what is offered between the two cars. In comparison, you see that there is no difference. Same transmission, same engine, same accessories, etc. Strip off the paint and you can't tell one from the other.

 

Then you look at the price. The plain yellow one is $20,000.00 and the one with the yellow stripe is $100,000.00.

 

You ask the Salesman "Why such a big difference in price?"

 

The Salesman answers: "Because of the white stripe."

 

Your answer is: ("I'll take the plain yellow one") ("Money is no object, I'll take the one with the white stripe") ("I'll take the plain blue one for $18,000.00) (I'll go to the dealership across the street.")

 

TO says: "Money is no object, I'll take the one with the white stripe. In fact, I'll take the blue one with the double red stripes for $200,000.00, too."

that 15% is on all turrets not selected ones and this is why they buy it

I know what is it for,

Ione can slack off with the paint, being sure they have protection against every turret out there, even be it 15% against all,

But logically speaking, would you go in an island with a paint like zeus or lumberjack,

Which cover the most expected turrets in there with a nice protection,

Or a paint that protects from all turrets for 15%, whereas only 3 turrets are needed?

 

Even if a poligon or so, there are paints that are far more suitable than that,

I have a prem acc in my pockets myself, which i sometimes play on to see how is the game going,

I can say i liked the prem paint, would take it on a fight but, since i love to fight drug heavy wars, id be ashamed to go with such lowly paint,

Which now thankfully that issue is solved

It's almost like they could add the protection back to the paint; after all it's not overpowered at higher ranks. If it's that much of a problem at lower ranks, make a certain rank where it unlocks like any other paint. 

 

Putting the money we've spent on it already aside:

 

It's not a good way to do business as I've said, there's no good explanation as to why we cannot have this paint. If I go and order a pizza, they say it will be done in 15 minutes, but in order to keep me happy (paying customer), they try to get my pizza done as fast as possible while not ruining it. You know why they do this ? Because it makes the customer happy, little things like this. If they get my pizza out in 13 minutes rather than 15, it puts a smile on my face.

 

I feel as though we should have been able to keep this paint for the same reason, it's not too much to ask and it would keep the paying customer happy. This is why people have said with this update that Tanki: 

 

1) Do not care about their customers

 

2) Purposely run their customers off to clear the way for new customers in Tanki X

15% is nothing.

I never used premium paint when there was twins, thunder, fire, isida, smoky, railgun in enemies.

 

I used my own paints, zeus, emerald, tundra,  alien and I think others do the same :)

[LeIouch_Vi_Britannia 6,163]

for now we get to see what other have but i dont use the new system to see what others have cause to me this is not right

"i dont use" "because to me its not right"

Now you are just setting this as a self opinion war,

Yeah I cant be bothered to press R midfight also, i know how you feel :)

and being sure that someone has 15% from all is a good relief as you are sure at least about

Some people in the fight,

I just press Tab and see if a lot of enemies have protection against me, i change,

If not, i cant be bothered to change just because of 1 individual in a 8 man fight,

But in a total, i get what you mean.

The paint separation part, I get it... but why remove old paint modules (those that were un-owned, of course)? It woulda been better to just separate the paints from their protection modules, not replace old protection modules with new ones  <_<

[redwall2000 65]

The update is too confusing for me at least. (Like if you agree) The update makes tiered paints and know it added an extra element to game styles. Now I have to press R to see the protection. Before, it was easy because I memorized most paint protections. I find it extremely confusing, which is why I have decided to quit tanki. Everything is too crazy now. Before, it was perfect until tier paints come along. Screw it!

what is ur grade ? i mean u understand that 6*15 > 2*30 , right ?

 

how abt small maps, i didnt buy Rock paint like many other players, and now there is no Twins/Freez/Isida Module, how can i compete someone with Rock at small maps ?

how abt a guy who fully MUed his Inferno ( cuz he didnt knew there will be 50/50/50 Module )

how abt mid ranks ? they pay alot more now for lower protection, fortunately i got most imp paints on my alts but how abt new players ? legacy paint like loam can change games now, devs simply Ruined entire game balance just for a bit more $, anyways i dubt even buyers pay for these new moduls and full garage cuz tanki x coming out soon and mnay players quiting tanki or selling their accounts....

[Capable 4,614]

Its seems like a good concept. The pricing of it is a bit off though. What happen to BP? Why is it sometimes one shot in XP/BP Format?

[oOo.Aryan.oOo 968]

Damn_Slow can you tell me is my knowleadge of forum is good for to become a ForumEnglishMod.

[delnina2 1,570]

A serious problem:

 

As you I know, when you purchased Premuim Pass, You knew that you'll receive a paint with 15% protection. 

 

Today the paint does'nt have protection. And as exmple: Player X ( Warrent Officer 1) purchased a premuim account, and today if he knew that the paint doesn't provide any protection, he wouldn't buying it.

 

Dear Moderators or Adminstarstor, What does tanki online is going to do about it ? 

 

By the way, It's already 48 hours since the update was lunched.  Im starting to be worried that the Devlopers act will be as same as other updates we don't like.

[stalagmite 12]

if the protection is separated from the paint, why is the paint still expensive?  probably someone already asked this question, but I didn't see it...

good point .. and not so far.. i have not seen anyone posting

Post#3 on topic, Cedric's FaQ

 

Q: Will the paints' prices depend on their beauty or camouflage?

A: Beauty. After the update, the only purpose that paints will serve is making you look amazing and perhaps help somewhat in camouflage. If you prefer to use the camouflage aspect of a paint to get a tactical advantage - you are in luck, because most paints with the best camouflage are relatively cheap.

 

[Sr.I3oSS 2,546]

ok to my understanding they removed them due to wanting changes and also lack of players buying certain ones..

 

i did have another post but not sure where it went ,, i will no longer talk about premium accounts cause i'm feeling there is not much more either sides can say about it .. so lets see what the Dev's and Cedric's plans are on this..

To be honest, making a paint double price after taking away it's protections is not a way to get people to buy paints and protections. Protections still cost similar to what they used to cost... Also, it mainly helps big buyers who can buy the 3 protection module paints and upgrade it to 50%, having a paint with a sum of 150% protection... (which could be used in Hard Format clans, i.e. Arab clans [no racist, no offence])
