The solution to that should be breaking up the Legend rank into 5 ranks:

 

Legend 1 = new Legend 1

Legend 2 and 3 = new Legend 2

Legend 4 to 7 = new Legend 3

Legend 8 to 15 = new Legend 4

Legend 16 to 31 = new Legend 5

Legend 32+ = new Addictissimo

 

Lol, what?

The total step cost of an m4 turret is currently 455900, before it was 911800 (excluding speed ups).

Total step cost for m4 smoky = 911700 (excluding speed ups)

Not all the micro-upgrade prices on the EN wiki have been updated yet, you can check the RU wiki for the up-to-date prices.

Disclaimer: This post wasn't a complain but something worth noticing, i'm well aware that (somewhat) the micro-upgrades is balanced at the moment (for the price at least) speed ups however is a different topic

 

Edit: i would say Speed-ups now would be more of an optional choice since the MU being as cheap as the next Modification

Wait- I thought 10/10 mus excluding m4 was half the price of 50/50

[Hate 5,582]

 

Absolutely correct, now players have the choice to MU nice and slowly with a very cheap price and if they want to speed up the process or just few things,they have the choice to do so as well so it depends on the individual.

I seriously thought everything became more expensive aswell because I saw those massive prices.

Tanki did a clever move here by decreasing the steps and increasing the timer; people are impatient in general.

It'll make them go use speed-ups more likely.

 

But do you save a lot compared to the old method when you're never going to use speed ups?

It seems to me like all they did was to decrease upgrade steps and increase the cost of that step + speed ups.

Yes I think so too. I only need another 36,000 crystals to get viking M4, but it will take 23 days to get there. I'm still waiting for step 17 to complete.

Don't wait for Micro upgrades sale to MU, even if there is a sale of 70% on Speed ups you are still better off doing MUs without speed ups even if there is no sale

 

 

Here is how the math works

 

Say you have an MU step worth 25000 crystals

it's Speed up is now standard x2 = 50000 crystals

Total = 75000 crystals

 

with an 50% sale on both MUs and Speed ups the step will cost you :

 

75000 x 0.5 = 37500 crystals

 

you can see that if you MU when there is no sale and without doing a speed up you will save 37500 - 25000 = 12500 crystals

 

 

----------------

with a 50% sale on MUs and 70% sale on SUs the step will cost you:

 

(25000 x 0.5) + ( 50000 x 0.3) = 27500 crystals

 

Still more expensive than Microupgrading right now without a speed up

 

--------------

 

The only time an MU sale will save you money is if the MU sale is 50% and SU sale is more than 75%

 

And even then you are still better upgrading right now because it means your equipment will have more MU steps earlier, and when the sale comes you will be saving more crystals on higher steps which cost more

 

 

If you are using speed-ups it is likely because you are doing at least 2 MUs - else it's waste.

 

Can you show the math (based on 50% MU / 70% SU) for...

- doing one MU

- speeding up that MU so that I can

- do the next MU during same 24 hr sale

Okay seriously tanki, we get the joke, now make speed up discounts higher than micro-upgrades thank you :)

We recently had 50/70 discounts on MUs, therefore your wish has been fulfilled. Discounts are selected based on what developers can afford. I.e. if the income is stable and allows for some lenience, then discounts can be bigger and happen more often. There is no point demanding higher discounts because it won't make a difference. Devs obviously know that players always want more and bigger discounts :)

 

Since this topic has been bumped recently for no reason, I'm closing it to prevent unnecessary discussion.

 

Closed.
