i didn’t read all that my man
That’s kind of sad just like the state of the game. lol
no need to feak out over a small change like this, but the new UI top bar looks much less original than the current one, and even if they did this as part of UI refactoring, there was no reason to worsen the UI quality.
and also these changes are much less welcomed when you remember what state the game is in. there is so much work needing to be done just to allow the game to survive, but instead of doing anything sensible, the devs are wasting resources on procrastination UI changes
neither will ruining their game, making it new player unfriendly and throwing players into matches that are 10k powerscore above theirs. your excuse here is invalid because there is tons of reasons their game isnt doing well, not just a singular solitary reason.
what changes? the only “changes” they make is adding new battlepasses and mini battlepasses every 3 months and 1 month.
what is this madden? get that pay to win garbage out of here. 
they can just do what they did for crossout legends, make the battlepass available to purchase after the seasons done for anyone to complete the battlepass and the person who pays gets the battlepass missions to do, the weapons, armors, etc from that season. for the founders they can unlock the previous battlepass items permanently. i find it really stupid that you have 3 factions in the game that dont allow you to make items from them. its also even more stupid that they had lunatics battlepass before but you dont keep the blueprints. all of these factions desperately need more blueprints and they throw some blueprints at us only to rip it away from us at the end of the BP and say “nah give us more money please!”. enough is enough man.

Here’s where you’re wrong, it does pay the bills. Though this model of business is EXTREMELY unstable.
The game relies on:
- newbies going in, getting obliterated by shop / BP weapons
- newbies buying the shop pack / BP because “it’s OP!!!”
- realizing that you need several more BP-locked parts, which cost 4-8k coins each
- leaving, getting replaced with new clueless newbies
You can check it yourself. Just go to exhibition, look up any absolute batshit weapon combo for the current BP (or previous if people still didn’t unlock all the rewards from this one), sort by new and uncheck the trending. You’ll see something like this:
There are about a hundred or two of builds like these, 95% of the time coming from people who have less than 500 total battles. And these are ones on exhibition, who knows how many players do buy BP but don’t send anything to exhibition.
If you look up things like charon+jupiter (another batshit weapon combo) and do the exact same steps, more than half of people who bought that BP stopped playing in the end of 2025…
Also this is why you see Crossout ads everywhere, especially on Youtube as sponsored segments
The game needs more hamsters because “the previous hamster has ran out” (may gods have mercy on your soul if you understood what i’m referencing to)
Even worse if you consider that these ads are funded by our wallets. This is why i’ve stopped buying anything in Crossout (and i urge you to do the same if you agree with me) - you’re essentially giving a green light to this “replace the hamster when the previous one runs out” cycle.
Found this old image of UI way way back, and is it just me or does it look way better than any of the current ones?
I like this over current year UI

even if it does, how long till this model stops working?
with how predatory the games monitization has become i wont be surprised if some newbie comes into the game, sees the monitization, does some research and then quits immediately without buying anything.
this is extremely risky for the company to do. new players will only last so long and if they keep up this type of scheme then its only a matter of time before it stops. players are a community and they all have opinions, if a game gets alot of bad opinions then it cant sustain itself. the whales will be left playing with the whales while other newbie players who quit will be spending money elsewhere on better games.

I don’t want this topic to devolve into political discourse, but here’s the thing.
You see, in Slavic countries there was a phenomenon called “the crazy 90’s”, basically banditism, shady deals, corporate raids etc. because of how suddenly it was exposed to capitalism.
Some… “entrepreneurs” (we call them “boars on the hop”) from these countries still apply “the crazy 90’'s” mindset to todays world, even though these strategies don’t work anymore.
Basically they’re maximizing short-term profits, why plan for more than 2 years? If it was still 90’s you’d probably be assasinated or your business destroyed by “spontaneous fire” by then. But it isn’t 90’s anymore, and they refuse to understand that.
They just can’t comprehend that gaming might be a form of art, or you can make a game that will last decades, or a game with no predatory monetisation that still has a huge income (Warframe, for example, checks all three and it’s playercount is dozens of times more than Crossout).
Boars think that games are a business. The fact that you can play the said game is just a side effect of said business. Pair it with the aforementioned fact about “90’s way of doing business” and you get why.
p.s. Let me remind you that companies like Gaijin literally started as selling the pirated CDs on the streets in roughly the same period lmao
