April's chest

• In addition to the vehicle coupons from previous April events that can currently be won from the box, the same vehicles can now drop not as coupons, but will be automatically applied to your account - vehicle coupons will continue to drop alongside this. This increases the chance to get a vehicle without devaluing any currently held coupons. If a player gets a vehicle that they own already, they receive 1,000,000 SL instead.
• Coupon drop counters are split into item categories (coupon for vehicle, coupon for camo, coupon for decoration, Hat trophy), that allows instant drop on an item in each category after opening the required number of chests, instead of a random item in a random category.
• Battle trophies with boosters, wagers and orders now open into separate items both in the April’s chest content list, and in the chest spinner.
• It is necessary to restart the game for correct chest description and opening the chest.

The bit about instant drops for x category after opening x amount of chests, is that starting from now or include all chests previously opened since the event started?

[Apfelsator 1,160]

well at least you are improving it now.

still would have liked to see some form of "compensation" for the people that put in a lot of SL's into these crates and had horrible "rewards" from it.

i opened 190(over 11 mio SL) crates and apart from the universal backups and the RP/SL boosters, i got a lot of nothing out of it.

not to mention that those boosters are coming with a 3 day timer, instead of being without a timer.

 

you really need to work on these mechanics/things to be more rewarding for your playerbase if these are supposed to give the playerbase a feel of appreciation instead of disappointment.

and please people, dont argue with "but its for free!", that completely misses the point here.

In the future, will we be seeing exact odds instead of obfuscated rare/uncommon/common indicators?

 

This would help people manage their expectations and in turn reduce the frustration of not getting their desired reward

"This increases the chance to get a vehicle without devaluing any currently held coupons" devalueting cupoms is a good thing, also the value of a million silver lions isnt even close to the value of most cupoms.

 

also this decision is bad for veteran players who may already have most vehicles and will get just Silver Lions.

My WT friends and I like the SL loot boxes, and like the new coupon or instant item drop change.

 

We all know the coupon chance is nearly nonexistent, so most of us open just a few boxes a day for RP/SL boosters plus a few bonus backups.

This because you obviously can't effectively use dozens of boosters that expire in 72 hours.

 

If there proves out a "reasonable" chance of getting an instant vehicle/camo/decoration maybe we'll open a few more than currently are.

 

For suggestion: maybe adding "good" chances for talismans or unlockable/purchasable, market/in-game skin drops would entice many people (including myself) to open allot more boxes.
