[Declined] Balancing of Paints and Kits

[cowdad2 8]

First of all, I've noticed that some paints seem to have an irrationally high cost for their rank (Jaguar) and some that are very low (Clay). This, in turn, affects kits that use these paints as well (Predator and Turtle, respective to the ones I just said). The kits should be rebalanced according to their current price, I ordered them on this table, alongside a respective new unlock rank:

Most of it is reflected from the order of the previous paints, but some are changed so they make more sense.

 

Now on to the kits, you can't have a kit that gives a paint that can be bought much later in the game (Predator, again) So I've issued some example changes to a roster of kits. Please note that there were some problems (You cannot have a Hunter M0 as part of a kit, so unless the prices of Tundra and Loam change, the loadouts of Siberian and Chiropractor have been changed to include a Viking and a Titan, respectively) in coming up with the loadouts. In addition, some are very cheap and similar to others in the roster, but I doubt these will stay with the new kits coming along (Hopefully Soon!  ^_^ ). Please also take note I improperly implented a 50% discount on everything (opposing the occasional 45-55% here and there) because the topic on the wiki has not been updated since the paint update.

I hope this helps with the kits!  :D

Declined.

 

There is a reason why this is the way paints are organized. Developers wanted the low ranks to still have a paint that distingushes them from other low rankers, and they wanted high ranks to have something low ranks don't. So it was all done for a reason.

Same applies for kits.

Kits having unreasonably high prices due to paints is a side effect of the recent update. The kits will be replaced in 3 days and the replacement set will most likely have either modules instead of paints, or just the turret and hull.

Okay thanks :)

I would like same discounts on kit without paint nor module (kit i plan to buy :D). I would get it right after I rank to acceptable rank :D  :lol:
