Whoever came up with this brilliant scheme thinking it would somehow benefit the game has serious farts in their head. Which is right on track with everything else those boneheads at pigsuckit have done over the past 16 months. Thank you Mr Smirnov, thank you very, very much. You piece of ?dookie?.

My first thought was this was meant to slow down the proliferation of MK II Premium bots.
My second thoughts are this is just a ploy to get players to buy gold to speed up upgrades.

Somewhere down the line someone thought it would be a good idea to fly to Pixonic and suggest that we should get compnets bots/weapons easier.
Pixonic said: ok, but we would need to make it take 3x longer/expensive to upgrade.
Then they didn't make it easier and made it longer/expensive.
Next time we think we have a good idea that we need to fly over and share. Think again

Sorry, but does anyone know whether Pix has published the new upgrade times/costs yet?

it's on their website, but the wiki has already been updated.

Were not building a freaking NASA here, so why does it need to take long time to upgrade?!

IKR it's going to be very daunting for many players who just recently got a new toy to play with. I really hope Pixonic reconsiders this dumb idea. \[T]/

Well their revenue went up from $30-35K after the intro of boosters and longer upgrades. Revenue hovered in the high $30-ies to low $40K region for a week or so according to thinkgaming. Over the past 4 consecutive days they went back to the $33K figure. If it stays as is than effort = zero revenue gain. Serves them right and would speak a thousand words.

This is where they will make money. By occasionally pushing you to buy AU. before acquiring a robot or weapon now it is better to secure AG and AU resources first. So for a Haechi for instance, you’ll need around 150+ mio AG and around 23,000 AU for speed upgrades to bring to level 12. Secure this first, then purchase haechi. This helps you be competitive and not sacrifice hangar strength while, curbing the impulse to buy huge amount of AU without realizing it.

To MK1 12 I think a haechi is 200M ag and about 10K Au. I would not be surprised if new purchasers will stop upgrading their gear at a lower level and be contempt with the outcome. Time will tell. |

Some people imagined it would be the other way around for some reason. |

Raising the upgrade price along with it is counterproductive to getting people to spend gold for speed upgrade though. Who’s going to speed upgrade 14 days after spending 50 mil and the next upgrade is 70 mil.
It may work for them in the beginning while some people have big stash. But once that well runs dry people will be stuck.

For Level 5, S-E-R-I-O-U-S-L-Y!!! 2 FREAKING DAYS!!!! Hahaha, not only haichi , scourge too ,when you buy new one now ,from 4 to 5 2days, and worst of all from 11 to 12 cost 11days 50M Ag, shame on pix , they are doing big mistakes ,new gamers even if there is some rich between them they won't even be able to see the game. Advice bro: stop at 5 and stop upgrading and stop buying new bots and weapons, use only old bots and weapons that you already had that if you are old player, and if you are new player i suggest you to stop playing this game and play another one like *warships blitz* good for both poor and rich , and when you upgrade you don't have to wait ,upgrade immediately. |

Welcome to the new economy. Can I suggest a one robot hanger and farming videos. When I am really on it I can burn off seven hours in an hour and farm some good silver at the same time

Why does everyone keep saying "I hope they reconsider"? It is pretty obvious that the new economy was done on purpose. They are laughing at us all the way to the bank.

Pretty close anyway. Just ran a test and lost 80 league points running 12 games and 12 vids in 57 minutes.
But I lost my 1 bot hangar so I lost some efficiency. Wasting time meching out with level one Detriers. When you win bots in the events now they place them in empty slots. I’m 200 gold from buying a new 1 bot hangar.
Alternate between a strong one or two bot hangar and a full hangar. Try for 3 kills in FFA in the fast matches. Great chance you actually gain 3 league points when you manage that. Only lose a few if you don’t get 3 kills. Run full hangar full force every 3rd game. When I did that I managed a good even league position

Needs at least another week of observations tho. |

Because they just picked an out there pricing to see if people still play along. if they went too far they could reconsider. But on the balance of things I fear you are right. |

Many have stated they'll only upgrade grandfathered gear.If true Pix is bound to see a downward trend in revenue,will people follow through on this?And if so could there be any positive repercussions?
