where can i find more info on these modification changes...?

[kaisdf 3,320]

If M3s become Mk7s, what happens to M4s? Or M2 10/10? (etc.) In fact, what will happen to MUs in general?

 

As for the new Prime skins, will people who have the current PR skins have them automatically converted?

[Amagi 1,728]

Loving the new animated turret/hull skins! I hope you'd modify the default skins to do similar effects as well.

"M4" do not exist officially it is another way to say M3 20/20 or M3+. So your "M4" will be Mk7 20-20 or Mk7+ or Mk8 (pretty sure player will use the Mk8 even if not official).

 

Hopefully the changes will reduce the gaps between players equipment, but if the next Mastery level is availble in the shop via kit product 4 ranks before normal unlocking that will be pointless changes.

sir this could be done something like how they did the ranking system.

 

this new system  will be confusing to players . best advise is to get your main turrets or hulls fully upgraded to your rank level.

 

the smoke and track system reminds me a lot of tanki X .

[T879 151]

Oh well, these changes came too quickly for me... Right now I'm using every crystal I get to upgrade as many Modules to 35% as possible before we're potentially getting 4 Module Slots and before it gets capped at 33% or so (which would actually make the Module almost 100.000 crystals cheaper).
That again means I'm not upgrading my Hulls and Turrets, which might prove to have been a bad idea. 

 

If we could just get some more time, maybe a few months or so...

Hm. What would actually happen if I manage to upgrade my Turrets in the last moment ? Meaning that the update will come while I'm micro-upgading, I'll get the next modification, I guess ?

Yes, it would be definitely important to know when exactly this update will come

[Ninja 10,468]

Very interesting changes with the modifications. Hopefully it will sort out the issues with wildly varied turrets at mid ranks, though it remains to be seen.

new skin prime ok will replace the one already in the game? or it's more in the face that will launch on Black friday, and next year will be on the Pass. I was convinced that ian launch this prime skin to replace more with what seems will not be another intention to put in the pass that is already at the end of XT and prime skins

[The_Pakistani 16,768]

Messing up modules?

what happens to players with the old skins ? would they be replaced with new or would we be able to keep the old ?

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

I like the new updates and the new development plans. V-Log 228 is superb for such great news announcements.

[r_Given6 859]

I was expecting something like the introduction of new modification levels since players at my rank already have all M2s 10/10. But 7?! That's strange. Really strange.

You better give us Mk7s guys :ph34r:

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Just now, I have enjoyed watching this exciting V-Log 228 so much.

 

Please can you developers explain to me what are the new modifications in development are. How do they differ and work from the current ones. Will they boost my turrets even more?

 

All my turrets are micro upgrades to the maximum level of M4, which is the same as M3 20/20. Will the new modifications make my turrets M5, M6 or M7? Please explain further. I don't quite understand what you mean in this V-Log 228 episode. I want to learn more about them.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

I forgot to mention above what does MK stands for on turret modifications.

 

MK1

 

MK2

 

MK3

 

MK4 etc.

 

Will my M4 turrets become stronger by upgrading them further?

[lssimo 1,559]

7 (8 with M7+) modifications seems too much.

 

And if you are adding 1 modification in between current modifications, why are you not adding another modification in between M3 and M3+? which would mean a total of 9, meaning better and worse at the same time.

 

What will happen to kits? If making new kits, please don’t add paints, instead implement cosmetic currency, and kits could come with some of that currency.

 

What will happen to modification skins? No more modification skins or more modification skins?

 

And what about number of MUs? Should be like 5 MUs per modification and 10 for last modification.

My mid-rank alt went the path of buying as many m2 modules as possible, so by the time it reaches Marshal it won't have to pay upfront for m3 modules.  It can just keep upgrading the m2 modules and get m3 "for free" sometime after Marshal.

 

I hope this MU change does not make any of my current m2 modules un-upgradeable...

Interesting. 

 

GL to all participating SandStorm clans.

[FatalError 336]

this Mk... :huh:

[TheCongoSpider 8,942]

Let's hope the transition phase doesn't bring too much imbalance for too long. 

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

I have all M4 modifications, so will I be able to upgrade further?

[Ninja 10,468]

Probably not, seems this will only really effect lower rank equipment.

[Viking4s 10,791]

No. No additional upgrades just more intermediary rank lock between M0 and M3.
For M4 the mastery name will change to Mk8. Just play as usual.

It looks like the number of intermediary step double, so you better have your M2 more than half way otherwise yes what you fear might happens until you reach Marshal.
