Crossout Engines Changes and Battle Pass Legendary Crafting

The new battle pass is edging closer and so are changes to how Crossout's engines work, the colossus, hot red and the oppressor, these engine added to the max amount of weight your vehicle could have and all had the trait of reducing the reload speed of different modals and weapons and how effective they were depending on the engine, this system seems to be replaced with this new modal which seems to do all of the listed perks for the engines which seems great. This announcement left people very angry, they would have to spend an extra energy just to get the reload perk, and it's even worse for the hot red which has no energy cost, cannon builds seems like they were getting a kick in the back, having to make their build lighter in order to replace the engine with this reload modal. It doesn't help that people had just fused their engines during a event where just before the engine changes announcement to make the reload perks that are going to be removed better, these engines were expensive to fuse, now the reason they fused it is going to be remove and they can't sell it, it's no wonder why players are angry with these changes. They didn't remove the unique perks these engines had and leave it at that, they are going to replace them with new perks that the game has never seen before, like the hot red buffing reverse speeds for vehicles with only wheels, the colossus buffing chassis and giving them a 20% damage resistance, and the oppressor having faster weapon rotation speed depending on your speed your car itself is already going. It's safe to say this did not help with the angry player base. As this is a battle pass item it will also have restricted crafting to people who managed to get to a certain level of the battle pass meaning new players or returning players who missed out on this event will miss out on the crafting and have to buy these for slightly higher than other items of the same rank. Legendary crafting is also getting a change, previously once you unlocked the crafting recipe during the limited time event you could craft it whenever, you will now be restricted to the time the battle pass takes place and limited time event to craft these, causing rich players to get richer who can afford to craft a bunch and sell it off for more money then other legendary parts.
