declined Default shot effect

[mjmj5558 2,346]

Some years before, all modifications had it's own shot color, but later shot effects were relased and this was deleted. My idea is to mix the two systems, becuase both of them has advantages and disadvantages, but what about if we pick the advantages to a new system? 

My idea is to make the defalt shot effect same to the old one, so mk1-2, mk3-4,mk5-6 and 7 would have different effects, the same that they used to have before the shot effect update. Of course, if you don't like that color, you can still equip your own shot effect. This system would be usefull because a lot if tanker don't have shot effects, and they can still get something defferent when they manage to upgrade their tanks. Also,  you could guess the modification of each tank from that (if it doesn't have a special shot effect ). Also, i think this feature was interesting. Isidas healing would be different for every modification, even if it has a shot effect equipped, because the color of the healing is always the same now.

Declined

There is no such need to have a default shot colour for different modifications as it is pointless. As soon as a tanker gets a shot effect from a container, most likely they will use it. The idea of shot effects is not for players to be able to distinguish equipment but to make their tank look better aesthetically. Furthermore, your idea is sort of changing Tanki Online to its previous versions.

It's not pointless, since we had that system for years.

I know, but the chance to get a shot effect that you like for a turret that you have upgraded is really low. That's why it would be better to have rarer shot effect as a default one, not that boring, same color for everything one.

Actually, it's not as i said in the suggestion, it's basically picking the advantages from the old and the new system, and make a better one. 

 

By the way, you didn't enjoyed accesing a new color when you finally managed to upgrade your equipment? I think it was fun. Why shouldn't we have this system back, without deleting the current system?

@mjmj5558 It's basically adding cosmetics for free. Considering that even gameplay items are now sold for money, there's no chance in hell that devs will be adding ≈45 new cosmetic items without monetisation.

So one of the reason why shot effects was introduced is money?

True.

But the Devs just gave us Mk7 skins for free... also, I remember you telling me about all stock skins being modified into the Ultra type. This in itself will reduce the value of Ultra skins and Ultra containers.

I think there's no telling what the Devs can or can't do.

I partially agree with MJ's idea. I think the stock shot effects should be various shades of a color. The current shot effects will still have value. But stock shot effects should be different.

Anyway, this is now futile as all stock skins have been converted to Mk7.

I suggest you read the recent patch notes. Skins will be reworked in the future but since only one type of modification can be used, the MK7 version was chosen. They were not "give for free", it was a technical decision that was made.

Developers wouldn't give this skins free to us, they would basically just change the color of a shot effect.....

....which in itself is a unique cosmetic item that you propose to give players for free.

Don't get me wrong - I like the idea and would be interested in seeing it happen, but it just doesn't fit the current economic model.

And yes, shot effects were most definitely added for money.

Why i cannot buy shot effects and skins directly from shop? Why we need randomizer mechanics here? Ok, skins needs to be rare, everyone is tired of paint, but shot effects?

[Tanker-Arthur 2,971]

You see.....now that M0, M1, and M2 skins are removed from the game, I have almost no sense of satisfaction anymore when I upgrade my equipment. That and the removal of modification based shot effects has made upgrading equipment more dull and honestly....its boring. I don't wanna spend several months saving just to upgrade the parameters of my equipment while OTHER people are doing the same thing, so the parameters don't even matter anymore. I wanna look better. 

I don't want to start a new account with M3 skins....because EVERYONE ELSE ALSO HAS IT AND I DON'T FEEL....UNIQUE ANYMORE.
