Paint Separation Update

[Dliver 436]

Show me proof of everything you just said.

Ask any long time player. I am sharing over 4 years of experience and observations  here. Better yet just keep your head buried in the ground. You should apply as a developer, you would fit right in.

Premium Paint

 

Once you become a premium tanker, you will receive a special paint in your garage, featuring a new look AND 15% protection against all turrets and mines. IMPORTANT: The paint will only stay in your garage while your premium account is active

 

Please dont use the lame excuse it only says paint will stay. It clearly states the paint has 15% protection which stays is premium if active

I do not have a dog in this fight. That said...

 

Moderators and Community Managers, I believe the players have a valid complaint here.

 

The protection is very clearly stated in what I would describe as the sales pitch. When premium accounts were released players were not aware that paints and protections would be separated. Furthermore nothing in the premium account announcement included any type of disclaimer about the permanence of the 15% protection, thus it is reasonable that players who bought Premium Accounts expect that protection to remain in place, whether through that paint or now through an equivalent module.

 

My two cents. Thanks for listening.

Wasp is a little bit faster still :(  :( :(

Stop crying ._.

XP and BP are hardly different - you just have a... SLIGHT advantage when playing with wasp. But you do get flipped alot more often (I have played both) ; Prefer XP tbh

[LeIouch_Vi_Britannia 6,163]

ok for one .. i understand not all mods know there stuff i have seen it over the years being here and i have corrected many  in my 3 years ..

 

now i did tell Maf  when this program first came out and back then he felt i was too confusing which i can be at times.. now i will not constantly bring this back to him cause we are all noobs in the world , we all still learning every single minute of our lives believe me i learned more this week then in the last 3 years in tanki .. now what i don't get is why are the mods giving us advise when i know for a fact and everyone can see that Hazel was on in the 99V-Log answering questions but refuse to be here where he should have been... Maf  did the best he could and same with other mods who have been here .. but its the Dev's who should have been dealing with this like they were in the game thread before this update happened .. you answer me  this  Sir..???

I really can't answer you bydo, I just know that in any forum dedicated to a game I've ever been in, which some of them I've been a mod in, myself, I've seen devs barely answer questions, specially when they're about a bad update, and let the mods deal with them which is a bad solution,

They just pop out every a while answering some questions just to say they are still alive :lol:

I can clearly see you didn't read everything

It was sarcasm as a way of saying that BP got degraded too much

I am a long time player. Playing since 2013. And no thanks, I rather do something more interesting.

I requested to my friend that he make a video regarding this update, you can add him to the list of people who hate it.

@ @DejectedTomato

I'd like to sincerely apologize for my behavior during the last couple of hours. I now realize that I had no right to quote on a developer's buried post as you said, and you do have a very valid argument and I was made aware of it. I just got a bit frustrated and it sort of showed in my posts. I was only trying to help, but after 160 pages of it I just forgot what I was here for, and I assure you that will not happen again. I hope this clears out any hard feelings I might have raised and that you accept my apology.

Thank you for posting this.

 

Again, I don't really have a dog in this (won't call it a fight anymore) but still, thank you.

if u upgrade your turret or hull max, you get the next modification for free right? well, you should do that with the paints, too. i mean i have my Forester LGC-04 max, so i should get Falcon S-A M1 for free. That would be really nice.

Was scoping out the kits on a lower acct and then thought, what's the point? They all have a paint included that does the tanker absolutely nothing for defense anymore, yet still "worth" 50000 crys? Nope.

 

Slo-mo time. Just play and spend not a dime.

[HaloScorpionV2 438]

I opened a new account, just so I won't be tempted to spend money on this garbage game anymore.

 some of the paints are too expensive such as hohloma jaguar alien and more. some of the kits are too expensive such as ant kit cyclops predator kit bulldog kit firewall kit and many more it would be good if you decrease the prices of the paint which are very expensive

[HaloScorpionV2 438]

There will be significantly less diversity when it comes to paints in the game. The average (low ranked) account will not buy a paint just for its appearance. They would save their crystals on modules or MUs.

 

A better update would be that the uglier paints would be cheaper, and have less protection, and the more aesthetically pleasing paints would be more expensive, and have better protection. Separating protections from paints may have seemed like a good idea on paper, but it is not in reality.

I think that that's what they tried to do

BAD UPDATE 

^{REMOVE IT PLEASE}

[RustyNail 1,538]

Was a regular buyer, Now this update has arrived i wont be spending a single penny on the game. And im not just saying that i mean it. My premium subscription expires on the 28th of this month, Not a chance that will ever get renewed

Wellcome to the Club Bill :D I said the same thing after the SCD update and I kept it.. ;)

[austen_pierce 1,948]

Completely agree. I used to be able to just take a glimpse of what all the enemy tanks were wearing and could make a decision of which turret almost instantly in most cases. Now I can barely make a decision.

I agree in concept. In practice, though, aside from the visually distinguished paints like Tiger, Zeus, Loam, etc I could never tell what protections the myriad of pick-your-camo paints held.

guys come on thing twice before doing such a thing ,,,it is tottaly unfair to small levels cause when they grow up their best protection will be 35% and an old gennerallisimo account can have 4-5 paints with more that 40 % against a turret ...so bad update for me

[austen_pierce 1,948]

I really like the R update but find it too much to assimilate while fighting. I wish it were available while spawning/respawning or better yet visible before I join a battle?

Yes, very unfair in that sense.

 

Let me tell you a joke.  :)

Which is the best camo / masking paint? Do paints even do this anymore (hide you in brush)? Or was this feature also removed. This is now my only reason to buy a paint - does it make it harder for others to see me?

 

Sorry for all the post in a row.
