Why do paints have ranks?

[ghost-guns 1,486]

Since the paints and protections are now separated, shouldn't all paints now become available at all ranks? Some say it's a waste of money but I like how picasso and lumberjack look.

They have ranks because some paints look much better on M3 hulls. Have you ever seen Inferno on M0 hornet? Or Nano on M0 Titan?  Plus at that rank nobody would be able to afford them except big buyers anyway.

No, not really. They don't look better on M3s than M0s, it is just that M3s in general, look nicer than M0s.

In that case all paints should unlock by marshal (just like the turrets and hulls).

It's just to give players new content to look forward to as they progress through the ranks. Simple as that.

Not really. Some low-rankers want to wear paints as well.

I think that the ranks the paint are unlocked at, should depend on the looks of it, so how aesthetically pleasing it is. Basically, in price order.

The actual paints do look worse IMO. They look cartoonish, dull, and silly.

1. People have different opinions as to which ones look better.

 

No. Think of all the high-end Camo Paints like Savanna and Clay.

Yes, but if the paint doesn't look very good, they won't be looking forward to it much, which is why I think it should be unlocked according to how good it looks.

Like I said, that is probably because it is on an M0, which in comparison to an M3 with all its shining metal, looks dull and silly.

If I was a developer, I would leave the paints as they are. The only 2 things I would do would be to:

 

1. Make them a bit cheaper.

 

2. Add some more.

 

Rank availability, etc, is fine.

No I meant the paints that unlock beyond marshal. They should all become available by then.

Not everyone has the same taste in paints though.

Yes for sure, which is why I suggested it should be in price order, to be fair. That is how the devs seem to have ranked the paints.

I agree, but at the same time the beauty of any particular paint is subjective to each individual, so devs can't exactly rank the paints based on that. Maybe the current ranking already reflects how developers perceive the paints from least to most attractive and your opinion is simply different. We can't know for sure...

I think that since the paints are only for aesthetics, the devs have ranked them by making some more expensive, such as alien and jaguar, and some less expensive. But you're right, we can't know for sure.

[r_I_already_won0 2,339]

If you guys haven't noticed, Camo paints are always a multiple of 1000, and it increases in price until the final-tier Camo paint, which is Clay. They are all very cheap. :)

[asifmak 467]

I think because premium and high ranked paints do look more aesthetic than the ordinary or early unlocked ones.

High ranked paints shows the premiumness of user and shows they deserve it.

I mean a paint like zeus suits more to a pro legend than a newbie sergeant

[r_I_already_won0 2,339]

 

Not to mention they would be too expensive to buy at the rank for everyone except massive buyers.

 

Wait a minute....that's a nice idea for the devs to get a better way of making profit....sell good paints in the shop before they're unlocked......ex Africa at Brigadier. :)  It wouldn't harm gameplay for non-buyers.

[stanzhang 3,291]

''m3'' paints looks weird on m0 hull because m3 hulls have those metal thing on the tank. I think i prefer m0 tanks because we can actually see what paint is that. Plus when we see a full xt tank we can't even see what paint is he wearing.

Devs have secretly taken note closely to this post *ninja style* :D

My impression is that paints kept their unlock ranks post-Disintegration update to space out the unlocks and add a sense of progression. It would be nice for players to be able to purchase any paint at any rank, but there is a dizzying array of them (which could confuse new players), and there wouldn't be as much to look forwards to in the higher ranks if I was able to purchase my favorite paints at any moment. Some of the high ranked paints are also "trophies" in a sense, like Zeus. While the Generalissimo paints have lost that status somewhat (they can be purchased much earlier in kits), seeing a player with it indicates that they either achieved the normal unlock rank or alternatively purchased a kit. It helps to increase the prestige and rarity of the more striking paints; I doubt Zeus, Inferno, or Tiger would be as striking if M0s were running around with it.

Ye, but now mammoth m3 unlocks at marshal when it used to unlock at gen. Why not do the same with lumberjack for example.

 

Just close this topic. It's full of the same annoying users who keep popping up.

Because Generalissimos need some bonus for ranking, and the paint is a mark of prestige. Plus, you can get it in a kit.

Yes, we should close this topic- it has no point anyway.. As for the other part....:lol:
