Hey Spy,

 

I, personally, like to think of paints as cosmetics. They are in the garage (and shops) to make your tank look pretty, make you stand out and/or to make your friends jealous.  :ph34r: 

 

Paints don't offer much, other than that. It's similar to designer clothes to some extent — designer clothes aren't needed and are simply high quality and (sometimes) good looking but cost a lot of money because of their value in the market. Cosmetics usually cost quite a bit of money (or crystals in this case) to buy. If you find that the value of them are too high, simply don't buy it. Same goes with designer clothes, they aren't needed but if you want it, you have to pay the hefty price.

 

After the paint separation update, paints only serve as cosmetic items in the garage.

On the other side there ARE those few paints (as I mentioned) That are actually worth it, like Zeus or Electra

Personally I only see 3 or 4 paints that actually really stand out. But let's say, hmm, Golden Star. 600 000 Crystals. Doesn't even look so much better than a 10 000 crystal flora.

It's all about personal taste, I guess. Cherry, for example, is one of my all-time favourite paint in the game. Yet, it only goes for around 50 000 crystals, which is quite cheap. Same can be said for other paints; not everyone will agree with the prices. ^_^

Why are paints so ridiculously expensive? They do absolutely NOTHING for your tank except make it look different. There are paints that are HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of crystals worth!!!!! WHY!? This is absolutely STUPID, absolutely RIDICULOUS!! In my opinion, NO paint should be worth more than TEN THOUSAND CRYSTALS!!! WHAT is WRONG with the RIDICULOUS PRICES!?

Prestige.

 

A 2019 corvette ZR1 with 755 hp costs ~ $121,000 US.

A 2019 Porsche 911 Turbo with 540 hp costs ~ $161,000 US.

 

Why does the less powerful Porsche cost $40,000 US more than the Corvette?  Prestige.

 

Now throw a Bugatti into the mix.  Is it 10x better than the Porsche?  I don't think so.     It's   Prestige

I suppose so. I like Cherry too as a matter of fact! I was even thinking I would buy the "Jam" kit in 5 or so ranks.

I'm quite surprised it's only 50 000 (but happy at the same time  :ph34r:).

What is a Eyjafjallajokull Kit or how do you pronounce it? (There's 2 dots over the "o").

Yeah, I know that, I saw it in the garage. I guess what I'm trying to say is, what does it mean? How did the Devs come up with such a name? How do you pronounce it, phonetically? It's an odd name, I'm just curious.

What mik said. I think its a volcano is Iceland (hence the icelander saying it in the video provided.) It looks like a lot of the Vulcan kits are named after volcanoes, probably because the Roman God of Fire was named Vulcan :D

Fun Fact: Some kits containing Vulcan are named after famous Volcanoes,( i.e Vesuvius, Fujiyama, Krakatoa, etc;)

So I bought the avalanche kit. I also wanted stinger kit but I am NOT a fan of the idea that if you already have an item in a kit then you don't get that price off! Both kits contain hornet m2. Stinger has Hornet M2, and isida m2. So I should just wait until I get to third lieutenant and get isida M2 itself... right?

Correct.  Don't buy another kit if you already have the hull.  Unless you have way more crystals than you can spend...

I'm afraid the livestream is no longer available. It used to be here, posted by ShadowVisions here.

For PRO battles the info is here.

 

I dont know about MMS.

The Wiki only talks about created battles. I was more interested in MMS battles. I should have made that distinction. Thank you for answering.

It was talked about in a V-Log sometime ago which I cannot find, its possible that it has been completely changed now.

 

Essentially, the system will first try to find players of the same rank as you are, if it cannot find enough it will expand the search to 3 ranks, one above your and one below yours and so on.

 

Bear in mind rank isn't the only thing that goes into finding players nobody really knows the exact details of how MM works since developers have released them.
