W3C - Game upgrade November 26/27

Cost of Weapons and Ammunitions

Many types of weapons have increased in price. The increase is in general around 10%. On the other hand, there is a large decline in the the cost of ammunitions. The decline is implemented for all defensive and offensive weapons and for ammunition used by the navy.

As a result of the decline in the cost of ammunition, we expect the maintenance cost of the army to decline too.
Changes in pricing and the change in the maintenance cost of the army may take some time to materialise.
Countries have stocks of ammunitions that were bought at a higher price before this change and these will be used in maintenance for some time at the price they were purchased.

New ammunition will be purchased at a lower price, depending on market conditions.

Weapon Range

The range of most weapons is reduced. This was discussed on the forum and we have promised to shorten weapon ranges.
Ranges w

I have lots of ammo. If the base cost of ammo is reduced will that in turn reduce the nominal value of my countries?

I am always interested in what people determine is a lot?

lol not as much as you. About 4000T spread over 15 countries.

The computation of assets has a weapons and ammunition component.

It is computing their value, based on the market value of these products.

weapons increased in price and ammo is reduced in price.

Shortages that might occur as a result of massive resupply, will probably increase the price of some of these products.

depending on the mix you have, the value will change one way or the other.

I don't think you should be allowed to reduce the dollar value of players accounts. Seems unethical.

I have lots of ammo too, but I have zero concern over it losing value. Money is no object to me. I think if you can afford to have over 1000T in ammo, money is no object to you either and you're being unreasonably dramatic by complaining about its decrease in value.

Presumably you bought it and stockpiled it with the intent to use it. You intended to throw it away fighting anyway, so why does it matter if it loses value?

And it's not like we can turn our game assets into real currency either. Our game assets have always been worth zero. If the game decides to decrease the arbitrary value of our assets, they will still be worth zero.

The problem with decreasing value of any weapon / ammo it gives the players who have a 1000t to spend an incredible advantage over players who do not. It will no longer matter how much they use, they will simply out spend there opponents. Every one should pay a price when they go to war, and it should be high.

Cost is still high for everyone. It was like this before and it will be the same now.

Right now, at least before this change, even players with +1000T were unable to play war style if using Air Force and Navy.
A change was needed.

I mean, maybe you are still right too. But I'm for a change and test it cause this game war had some flaws (discussed in other threads)

Was I being unreasonably dramatic? I didn't even swear :p

To you those numbers on the screen might be pointless, arbitrary, worthless etc but I like this game and those numbers were built up by me over 1000's of playing hours.

No, you weren't overly dramatic. I was just being a dumbass. You make a good point that devaluing ammo would undercut the time and effort you've put into the game.

If people spend all this money on offensive weapons gotta make sure they atleast work or are effective. It should be a balance in def and off weapons I don’t get why people are complaining. Have y’all tested war mechanics? If people spending trillions on weapons make them work

The current war game is unplayable cost way to high

It was not necessarily a reduction as weapon values increased.
Also the value of ammunition INCREASED in most countries.
The result of the repair of the resupply function, a lot of ammunition was delivered to army units and the price of ammunition on the markets increased. It may change in time.

does it mean you have to pay for the increase?

Also corporate profits are now probably 3 times higher than before.

Should we use the extra profit to make assets remain at the same level at all time?
Values of products fluctuate and with these fluctuations also their total value.

I agree that this might be confusing.

There is a question whether showing the total value of weapons and ammunition makes sense and it is even more questionable whether their value should be part of assets.
The money was spent anyway.
