invalid Alterations Preview

[Literate 24]

I just waned to say in simple words, there is no need for addition and removal of Alternation as we dont know that the effects of what we got now in the game. So developers much have a preview version where u can see the change/effect of alternation on ur turrent. They can show those effect for all turrent in 10sec per 1 alternation, so it will make easy to decide which is best for what combo and ur playing style. As there are some alter which look goods but when u use it, it dosnt fit ur playing style. So there must be a video of 10 sec where u can show tankers what willl this Alter add and remove, it will be easy to understand and will help new tankers to make there choice.

Or better yet, just bring back the renting option.

Wait. they got RID OF THAT?

Or better Use the test server

Yes, they disabled the option of renting an alteration with with implementation of the latest batch of alterations back in October/November.

The Test Server isn't exactly the best place to see how efficient alterations are since you have a particular perspective of it instead of many that you can find on the real servers. It's the most affordable way but not the most efficient. 

 

You're locked to a high rank with enough crystals to upgrade it to M4. You'd only see how tit deals with other M4s that are using supplies and have other expensive drones with max-level upgrades. On the real servers, you can be playing with it in the M2 ranks and it may be either too powerful or too weak there. You may face less players with Drones and more players that don't use supplies. You may also find more protection modules against it on the real servers since on the Test Server, many fail to buy protections or equip protection against your specific turret.

I really think this should be implemented. Just like in the garage you can preview how the turret, hull, or paint you want will look-it should also give you a sample of how the turret looks when it shoots, with the alteration.

It can be very frustrating for new players to understand which gun shoots what-it is not just higher ranks that want to see how the alteration will look.

Alterations don't change the looks. :lol:

There's already a preview button for paints that you don't have.

 

We used to have a renting option for alterations which costed 5000 crystals.

 

And the description does a pretty good job telling us what the hull or turret does, also, we can make new accounts and test the particular equipment there.

If you show how a turret shoots (say firebird-it shows the fire) you will see how the alteration would change the firing when you press preview.

Why not for turrets-showing their shots and alterations?

Try as a new player to figure out what turret is which-and tell him-create an alternative account. This is not so simple. So why not just show what the turret looks like on the battlefield when it is shooting-and it will be better than any description.

When I first came to Tanki I couldn't tell apart the turrets.

See my poem about this-

The Long Road to Tanki (a Poem).

It is a good example that new players can't understand this.

Alterations change nothing except the mechanics of the shot. The look will be the exact same. No need to see what it looks like. Second, of course you may get confused about which turret is which for a rank or two, but if anyone can't name every single turret by Master Corporal I'm going to be officially inquiring in to the methods of the school system's dumbing-down systems.

Okay-but who said anything about Master Corporal-I am only referring to new players who just get that turrets unlocked-and don't know which is the  one they are thinking of.

Also-why wouldn't 'mechanics of the shot' show?-If you see a narrower stream of fire and longer, you can tell the difference from wider and shorter-no?

More like a GIF of a alternation demonstration would do the trick.

Sorry-what do you mean by GIF?

What is there now?-that might do the trick.
