What's the point of having more than 32 levels?

[Ricdic]

Don't quite understand this. I've unlocked everything at Level 32. I really hoped for a second page of upgrades to pop up once these ones were done, with some options such as:

- Increase number of parts gained from salvage/scrap (3 levels)
- Increased skill in salvage/scrap (3 levels, basically more bonus bars)
- Increase % repair amount (3 levels bringing total from current 60% max to 100%)
- Increase purchase discount (current max of 15%)

There's dozens of other options that should be dead simple to implement. Just seems pointless having 50 levels if your character is maxed out by level 32.

I like the idea of improving the salvage/repair side of things as I feel like I spend half of my life performing these mini-games rather than actually playing the core game. In order to go crazy upgrading all of the components of a single car i'd need to spend hours and hours playing mini-games to achieve this. Using the above or similar skill upgrades reduces this time sink for end game players letting them play the actual game. Am I alone in this request? Maybe others enjoy the mini-games over the main one?

I think it may just be to pad the amount of game time you put into it to get the achievement for hitting level 50.

More skills/perks would be a nice addition though.

A salvaging tree would be nice. Would have been better than movement speed.

in CMS 18 we had a skill that increased pay for jobs and one that reduces cost for travel to junkyard. Would be nice to have that in CMS21 too.

I dont see a point past level 13, by then you can buy junk cars and renovate them for massive profits, dont even need to repair the parts or have skills unlocked. THen it's just rinse and repeat.

Only thing you need is to expand the garage to include the engine removal/extra car lifts, paint shop and wash shop.

Payout from chests is scaled to level.

Takes more than 13 levels to unlock everything, right? Mucha plata.

You don't need to unlock everything to get money galore.

Blue points.

Agreed, adding more skills/perks or at least having a modifier to ingame mechanics based on level would be great.

blue points are useless, they dont add enough to the value and you could just sell the parts and buy new instead and make more money then you get for "upgrading the parts" not to mention unless you are using something to auto scrap, the mini game is hit and miss..

Each to there own, same with repairing parts. FIne to start with but once you have the money it's far more efficient to just buy new and sell the old atleast in refurbishing cars.
Obviously if it's a customer car you have to work within the requirements.

Totally agree, no profit from the blues, I only use them to fully upgrade my favourite drives, set a good time and they get stripes (if available) and the 3 star princess treatment down to the tires. If it's getting good track times, it's already had several sets of tires, tuning's and paint jobs, may as well go all in.
On my second big sheds worth of cars, don't do jobs, don't need to sell anything, but I still mostly build from junkyard parts, I like a good fossick and am a miser by nature.
BTW I think the added value to non performance parts has been buffed, compared to a year ago, still not worth the hassle, IMO.

I'd like to see a repair bench for seats.

I am at level 103 and if it wasn't for modder's adding new car I would have stopped a long time ago.

there is only 50 levels

I've reached 254, have started a new game (shed was full), currently at 100, from 150 on most of the level ups came from the chests (greens), at around 200 it's over 7000 per level and that's a lot of bolts to undo even with double XP on expert.
Prior to the 254 (expert), I got to 200 playing on normal mode, I'm on my forth shed. Over 3000 hours.
Please explain how you came to your assertion of max 50.
