Balance changes planned for the next update. Adjustments

We remind you that all the new features described in this news are not final and may be changed before they are introduced into the game or may not make it into the game at all. You can see all the planned changes in more detail on the special testing server!
The full list of previously announced changes can be found HERE and HERE. This news only covers the adjustments made to the original list of changes or new additions to it.

Reduced perk bonuses:
to damage from 20 to 15%
Comment: based on your feedback and on the results of the Friday’s testing, we have decided to reduce the bonus to damage to 15% instead of 10%.
How to get on the test server?
[expand type=details] If you have already participated in testing on a special server, then it will be enough to start the Launcher from the folder with the test client and wait for the update to complete.
Create a new folder for the game on your hard drive.
Download the Launcher from this link. The file name should not contain numbers indicating that the file is a duplicate.

After the installation is complete, start the Launcher and enter the game with your username and password.
The whole progress of your main account will be transferred to the main server (including parts in storage and levels of reputation in factions).
After logging into the server, to transfer progress from your account, press the “Esc” key and select “Copy account data”.

Balance changes planned for the next update. Adjustments
Hello! Last week, you had an opportunity to test out the new balance changes planned for the November update. Today, we would like to announce some adjustments we’ve decided to make as a result of the first stage of testing.
We remind you that all the new features described in this news are not final and may be changed before they are introduced into the game or may not make it into the game at all. You can see all the planned changes in more detail on the special testing server!
The full list of previously announced changes can be found HERE. This news only covers the adjustments made to the original list of changes or new additions to it.
M-37 Piercer, M-38 Fidget, M-39 Imp
Projectile speed increased by 9%.
MG13 Equalizer, MG14 Arbiter
Projectile speed increased by 8%.
Partially reduced the accuracy changes. Relative to the live server:
Comment: the speed bonus change is related to the current problem of easy availability of speed increases. As we said in the Q&A session, we have plans for a full rebalance of speed and speed bonuses next year, but for now we would like to slightly reduce the largest of the bonuses.
Jackie
Reduced perk bonuses:
to damage from 20% to 10%
to speed from 7% to 4%
to power from 20% to 15%
Comment: for its power consumption level, the module provides an extremely high efficiency boost to many armoured vehicles. Such a significant reduction in values is due to the fact that bonuses from power nodes are applied on top of all other bonuses, rather than being summed up with them.
Assembler
Ammo reserves increased from 18 to 60 pcs.
Kaiju
Ammo reserves increased from 10 to 14 pcs.
Thyrsus I
Ammo reserves increased from 35 to 40 pcs.
Phoenix
Stability bonus from the new perk reduced from 15% to 10%.
Ammo pack
Bonus to max ammo of weapons increased from 30% to 40%.
Comment on limited ammo reserves: the purpose of limiting ammo reserves is to ensure that all players are in more or less the same conditions, use their ammo supply wisely, and do not find themselves in a situation where one player has little or no ammunition left, while another player can shoot endlessly. In most cases, each weapon should have more than enough ammo, and even if additional ammunition is needed, a rare ammo pack with the increased bonus will most often suffice.
Meat Grinder
PS increased from 600 to 850.
Comment: thanks to the recent changes, this movement part was able to become relevant at high and medium PS, but shows too much efficiency at low PS. The change should correct the situation.
