Actually Rebalance the price of customization

[Valkay]

Hello bajtársak and fellow forumdwellers,

There are many problems with the current customization, but I will focus solely on the issue of its costs as there are already suggestions asking for greater uniform variety, Italian uniforms in every campaign, camouflage of vehicles changing with the campaign ect…

Players have been complaining about the impossible price of customization since the merge update (late 2023) and things only got worse since then (new campaigns added and a “bug fix”) so when a promise to reduce the price of customization was added on the road map in 2024, people got really excited.

---

However players got scammed, prices were only lowered for gold and an option to buy customization orders for gold was added, which fixed none of the numerous flaws.
It’s actually infuriating that they expect us to spend our money on a half cooked system.

It’s time to actually rebalance customization prices.
The easiest and most simple way to do this is by giving multiple clothing pieces along the purchased clothing piece.

The Japanese Empire get 1 clothing piece for 1 purchased clothing piece (no change).
The Soviet Union get 3 clothing pieces for 1 purchased clothing piece (3 for the price of 1 essentially).
The US and British Empire gets 3 clothing pieces for 1 purchased clothing piece (3 for the price of 1 essentially).
Germany and Italy get 4 clothing pieces for 1 purchased clothing piece (4 for the price of 1 essentially).

what are the multipliers based on?
Multiplier of each faction is based on the 160 customization orders a player can get by completing an Elite BP session; that 160 should be theoretically enough to fully customize one squad in each campaign.
As well as taking the number of campaigns that are active in the match making (which does change with BRs).

Japan has 1 campaign, to customize fully an assaulter squad in each campaign it would cost ~105 customization orders.
USSR have 3 campaigns, to customize fully an assaulter squad in each campaign it would cost ~301 customization orders.
Allies have 4 campaigns, to customize fully an assaulter squad in each campaign it would cost ~378 customization orders.
Axis have 6 campaigns, to customize fully an assaulter squad in each campaign it would cost ~588 customization orders.

Note: none of these soldier’s head was changed and I calculated gloves for winter campaigns and an average helmet cost of 3

Just a note for newer forum members, it was suggested before that devs should group customization into summer, winter and tropical uniforms but the idea was rejected because (devs are lazy) and also because such a system would ruin the historical authenticity of uniforms that had changed as the war progressed.

(devs are lazy) and also because such a system would ruin the historical authenticity of uniforms that had changed as the war progressed.

yeah pretty much the first sentence in the paragraph lol.

historical accuracy means very little when you can wear m44s tunics in moscow, stalingrad tunisa or rzhev with the guerillas. or most of the event squads.

hell, even civis or straight up chinese where those never actually fought.

they didn’t even made available the m38 paratrooper helmet or ANY fallshirmjager clothing in any frikkin campaign presets.
nor the tan uniform of japan, nor the dark brown pants of the us, etc etc.
the list is extremely long:

Google Docs

( and the one above it’s outdated since last or the year before )

so… so much for " historical accuracy "
anyway, as rebalance cards appearance goes,

i was told it was sent already ( well… in 24 days i can only presume ) :

Reduce costumization card price instead of gold value, or rework entirely how the customization works

first thing first, needless to say; REGARDLESS of prices. but since i have a feeling you guys didn’t wanted to actually fix that, you opted to take the easy way out and reduce prices instead. after all, not a bad thing to do right? saving some time and coming up for temporary solutions. AAAAnddd wait what? these were from the preliminary changes. which it’s interesting. VERY interesting. and you know why? so after countless threads regarding to improve the customization or genera…

I also have so many clothes I won’t use anymore on my squads and which I want to sell / remove. DF / Gaijin should also add the option to sell / remove them

And they better give a full refund for all the cloths you sell, for example, you buy an 8 appearance order shirt and didn’t like it, you get 8 back by selling it.

I wouldn’t mind, for once the Commonwealth is it’s own thing I’d want to move my already spent cosmetics somewhere else, because “daddy will have a new favourite”.

It’s not fun hoarding stuff just because “the faction I want to play as might be fully implemented soon”.

Maybe a limmited time “resell at full price” function that comes with a Commonwealth/Italy major update, so that the people who’d like to do the switch will be able to, and other people could reconsider their past purchases for other factions at the same time?

Of course you would only ever be able to exhange purchased cosmetics for their price in Comsetic Orders, not gold no matter how you purchased it, I think that’s fair, the resale is specificly meant for cosmetics after a,

@OggeKing

Commonwealth/Italy major update

If we do get one, then I hope that they would use different gas mask model instead of either the German or USA one and replace it with their own

@Valkay

The easiest and most simple way to do this

Is for the devs to play the game and read both russian and english forum.
