Further exascerbated by the fact that primary weapons have become more expensive than in the past.

Garands shouldnāt cost the same as M2 Carbines
G41s shouldnāt cost the same as FG 42 IIs
SVT-38s shouldnāt cost the same as AVT-40s
In a similar vein,
A Panzer IV J shouldnāt cost the same as Tiger IIb (H)s
An M4A1 shouldnāt cost the same as an M4A2 76mm
A T-34 shouldnāt cost the same as an IS-2
It depends. Seeing as how the game forces you to pay for research upgrades, or makes perfect sense to sell things like the Enfield P14 or the SMLE. I bought a Garand per soldier before Merge them bought 3 maxed M1 Carbines after. Iām not seeing much of an issue with the cost of things. Itās easy enough to earn silver just by paying the game a little bit
It makes Tier 3 weapons cheaper and Tier 4 &5 weapons much more expensive. You shouldnāt be able to jump from ājust unlocked the M2 Carbine/StG44sā to āall my soldiers have fully maxed M2 Carbines/StG44sā in one step
What do you expect to use Silver for? Itās only good for weapons, vehicles, and research and you get a ton of it through Battle Pass levels and daily logins.
Sure, the rate hasnāt changed. I think I earned about 8k today(donāt quote me. I wasnt paying close attention) Iām currently sitting on 40k)
Why would it be? You get one for purchasing the research. You then buy another for 8k (given my scale) Thatās expensive but not horrible. You outfit 2 guys with best in class weapons then max them, save some more, and work a third one, repeat, repeat.
I just donāt want to see people go from unlocking a tier 5 weapon to being able to fill their roster with them for the same price as tier 3 weapons now. There should be a continued progression to buy and build the best weapons so that they are a bit more special in the game. You eventually get to the point where you have no upgrades left to do, nothing to grind, nothing to research, and then what do you do? Even though the game will still be fun, it losses that excitement of āunlocking the next thing.ā
Casually forgetting that other weapons that arenāt ābest in slotā still cost the same as their ābest in slotā counterparts
Sure. That only costs about several hundred thousand coins in the current economy. Only a genuine, cool 2 months of grind going by your 8k/day.
mrw Iām sitting at 4.1k battles and I still have plenty of things to purchase, even despite pre-merge preparations like upgrading/buying things in advance, and even maxing all existing campaigns and levels at the time.
Youāre talking as if silvers rained from the sky.
Right. I was saying I think the tier 5 stuff is too cheap.
With current prices, you can purcjase and max:
M2 Carbine: 14990 silver. Thatās a fully maxed tier 5 weapon added to your roster every 2 days of play. I think thatās too cheap. You think thatās too expensive.
ā¦ how many do you think you need to purchase?
It kind of does rain from the sky. I started the new economy with 70k silver, spent it all down to less than 1k, went back up to 60k, spent it down to 25k, and am now back to 39900.
Youāre supposed to use it carefully in the new economy. I really havenāt had to.
Well, quite a lotā¦ let say you have 3 squads of 7 soldiers. You will need 21 weapons so around 250,000~300,000 silver just for them, then you also need to pay for their grenades, their backpacks, their utilities. I am not even mentionning the fact that you also need to buy the soldier themselves, nor that you also needs to pay for your tanks and planes. I think that spending 500,000 silvers for your top BR lineup is quite accurate.
I am pretty sure I havenāt earned even half of this in 200 games since the merge. I am glad I was able to get most of this before the merge for much cheaper.
Gains before and after the merge are the same, but price have skyrocketed even faster than fuel (I am certainly overexagerating but you get the idea).
So youāre wanting to equip every single squad member you ever put into a round with a maxed BR5 weapon and you think it should be cheaper for you to do that?
I think this new economy is geared around you earning those one at a time as you play at BR5 over time.
Those are all cheap and you hopefully already had a lot of them pre-merge. Disarm your reserve troops and equip your squads.
I think thatās too cheap for someone to get āmaxed best everythingā especially at the rate that Iāve been able to acquire silver in the new economy. Youre talking 3 or 4 months to work from"unlocked BR5" to āmaxed best everythingā and I think thatās a bit too fast.
Iāve been keeping decent track of what Iāve earned. Iāve had to purchase a lots of planes I donāt want to use and a bunch of useless rifle researches that I donāt want to use in order to fill in the tech tree. I think Iāve earned approximately 200k since Merge. Iāve recently maxed 7 BARs and still sitting on 40k silver. I just donāt understand what the complaint about prices is really based on. Is rather there be players with āoneā BR5, then two" BR5s. I think those BR5s should be much more expensive than they currently are and BR3s should be a little bit cheaper. The BR3 weapons form the basis of your GI armory and getting your squads fully equipped at BR3 is a significant accomplishment. I think rearming them all with BR5 should be extremely difficult.
I was hoarding orders pre-merge and jumped into new economy with 70k silver. I had already hoarded orders waiting to get the Garand unlocked in Normandy and when I unlocked it, I dumped them and bought one for every rifleman and every engineer, and maxed them all. Then started hoarding again. I donāt rearm my troops with every weapon, so Iāll go a month without buying anything(except research) if thereās nothing worth buying
But if you play for 30 days straight, you should get around about 30k silver for doing nothing other than logging in
I spent 200k upgrading my Germany BR5 weapon, just upgrading, purchasing not included.
I donāt think I care how much the weapons of BR4 and BR3 are sold for, I wonāt buy them in large quantities no matter what. Only if DF designs a dedicated matching queue for BR3 and BR4 in the future will I purchase and upgrade these weapons.
The best strategy for new players in the current version is to keep using BR2 weapons until they can buy top-tier ones.
This will just move the problem of new players having worse equipment from low tier to top tier.
So instead of them being stuck trying to grind silver for MP40, they will be stuck on tier II for years just to get few STGās.
Top tier prices are already ridiculous, they just need to readjust weapons that changed tiers, like MP40, to be 2 star weapons too, so cost less to buy and upgrade. And hopefully increase silver gain so itās at least comparable to pre-merge levels
All I see is crying babies and people who doesnāt care at all about economy.
And if anyone dares to say that the whiners are exaggerating. Theyāll immediately accuse him of being a gaijin simp etc.
Iād like to live in their simple leftists black and white world.
