declined Paints from Purple Containers

[tankiexpert1 105]

Honestly, after all the updates tanki has been going through this past year, I just don't think that rare paints (not animated) don't fit the purple (epic) category of containers anymore.  For example, there is no comparison in whether you want to get an epic paint or an augment for a hull or shot effect.  I suggest that all paints (not animated) are lowered in status to the blue (rare) category.  I get quite disappointed when I open containers and get a purple container (hoping for a shot effect or hull augment), and suddenly, a paint pops up.

Declined

Lowering an item's rarity makes it easier to obtain, which is the same as reducing its price. It also reduces the prize pool in epic tier and increases the change of getting more useful rewards. We can't accept ideas for reducing items' prices.

Container contents, probability of each rarity tier, and the amount of containers you can earn for free, are all carefully balanced in order to fit the game's economy. Any changes are solely up to devs and their economics analyst(s).

Not to mention thats theres over 125 different epic paints and a large number of them look awful 

[Babi 643]

Epic paints are just ugly.

I belive paints are there exatly for this reason. To lower the chances of getting some good stuff, like the exotic paints in UT.

I agree

I like having lots of paints, but the number of paints I really want might be less than 10% of the total number

It's a shame that there are so many meh paints, but without them the chances of getting crystals or augments would be too high

I agree it is annoying, however yes as others have said I think this is intentional, to balance out the container rewards. If there were no epic paints then I think the chance to get augments and so on from containers would be too high, I think it might really destroy the game economy. To be honest with shards, I think the chance to get good rewards from containers is already high enough. Also, as you progress and as your account gets older, and you have opened more containers and earned more of the epic paints and blue paints, your chance to get other good rewards from containers improves, so it gives a kind of account progression system. Therefore, while it is annoying, I think the current reward system from containers is fine and the epic paints are necessary.

However, I would support the removal of country paints from the blue tier - because those are just annoying. They should be available in the garage for crystals, if someone wants the paint for their country. Also, I think lightweight construction should be removed from the epic tier, and moved to the blue tier instead plus be available for crystals in the garage. It does not fit the epic tier, and is useless for the majority of players who do not wish to do parkour - other than with Hopper of course.

Yeah, I would love to only see Augments and Shot Effects at the Purple rarity rather than Paints.

I also think Non-Animated Paints should go up to the Blue category. Purple should have Augments and Shot Effects. Yellow can have the Animated Paints, ...

 

This can make things more fun and organized. We'll get more excited opening Containers and seeing the Purple rarity drops!

I agree. Most epic tier paints are pretty ugly and don’t deserve to be in the same tier as a 245000 crystal augment.

I see all of the paints from the ugliest one to the Exotic ones are nothing compared to any Uncommon item from containers
