Acquiring old event vehicles after the fact

Genuinely, why not? Many of them are fun, iconic vehicles and I think everyone should have the chance to obtain them every now and then.
And yes, outside the market. I’m personally not a fan of the limited supply and overinflated prices that system leads to.

console players getting railed by no access to market place :(

Fair enough - I disagree - I had to sweat blood for some of these and buggerd if I think some newbie should get it for gambling or whatever…

Rememberting that the market provides revenue for Gijin - how would you propose that make up whatever it lost?

That sounds like a failing on the system’s part more than anything. I do agree that certain events have been ridiculously grindy.

I’m not arguing that these vehicles should be more easily obtainable for newer players than they were for you (though that would certainly be nice, given how tedious some past events have been), but that they should be obtainable, reliably, in some form.

I’ be OK if they are put on a 7 -10 year rotation. If they return as event vehicles after about 7 -10 years, that would be OK with me. The IS-7 would then return this summer.

That’s a great question. I think the more popular choice with players would be the option to skip the grinding process with GE, but for a more monetarily aggressive and reliably profitable method Gaijin could put up a purchasable entrance fee. A player can buy a ‘ticket’ for real-world currency, and that ticket opens up the ability for the player to grind for their vehicle of choice.

Think Thunder League Dog Tags that open up a squadron vehicle type of unlocking process, for example.

As a toggleable option similar to switching to tanks, helicopters, planes, ships. it would be nice to implement a Event vehicle’s tab

this way it doesnt cloud up the entire UI or tech tree and easier to navigate

Thinking a bit about it, maybe the best way imo to re release this vehicles would imo be something like what they did for the 10 year annyversary where if you get certain amoun of score you can randmodly get one, maybe do this once a year (annyversary or chismas)

You’ll get them through gambling boxes

You can learn from WOT to award a voucher at the 151 level of the pass, and every 2-3 vouchers can be exchanged for a different level of previously awarded vehicles. This can not only solve the problem that new players can not get the previous pass vehicle, but also have little impact on the current players, which can guarantee his income within a year.

Of course, because WOWS is not as smart as WOT. WOWS is a bit stubborn and inflexible, which is why it can’t compete with WOT in terms of influence, online population, or revenue.

Your “Counter” is false as you can obtain them from the SL loot boxes that Gaijin periodically releases. These also contains Coupons which you can sell on the market for GJN coins, guess how players obtain these Gaijin coins?

Money.

Why are you ignoring this glaring contradiction to your beliefs?

Some of them are not for sale even on the market like the tog which I have and want other people to be able to get

Gambling boxes have certainly been better than no chance at all of ever getting them. I actually got some vehicles I always really wanted through them but was never around for those events. Especially important since I am a console player and didn’t have access to them on Market.
It’s still quite a low chance of getting exactly what you want though (I’ve been really lucky with them I’ll admit).

I don’t like it very much because it makes the vehicle no longer unique, but assuming that gaijin added this (they never will) there would have to be a lot of rules and limits to achieve it, as you can only unlock one per year, you should have the vehicle’s technology tree, for example, I have all tanks, helicopters and planes in Russia and I have the entire German land line, so I could only unlock German land vehicles from events, and these vehicles should have a high research cost and silver lions, as there will be many people buying golden eagles to unlock them faster (gaijin likes that) but I still don’t really like the idea even though I really wanted the T72M2, BMD4, OBJ279 and the C2A1 in Germany. They also cannot be used for grinding, and they must receive less RP and SL than the originals, they must be something that differentiates them from the original vehicles, so that only people with level 100 accounts and more than 2 years of game can touch them, I’m not being selfish, after all I myself don’t have much of them that I wanted

its not fair for the people that grind this tanks in the Events + this make events useless (also do you want every Russian main with a IS-7,and the rest objects ,a German main with E-100???

  • it would destroy the marketplace economy

Did you even read my previous comments or do any research? As stated before, some of these vehicles aren’t obtainable AT ALL. Not through SL loot boxes and there are no coupons on the market.
Either way, my main point is to give people the option of getting these rare and seemingly overpriced (If they even have a price you can pay) vehicles without having to go back in time to when the event was ran.
We need a way for newer players to have access to this stuff as it’s completely unfair that games can lock things behind limited time event that actually have an effect on gameplay. Imagine if COD made it so the only way to use the MP5 was to join an event that lasts a week. After that week, it’s no longer able to be obtained, ever again… That is WT and some of these vehicles.

I see where you’re coming from, but I think it’s unfair that those people should be the only ones to be given an opportunity to own the vehicle. People will come to the game wanting to play their favourite tanks/planes/ships, only to find those vehicles were available behind a taxing one-time grind many years before they even began playing.

I think events should be redefined to be recurring things by nature rather than one-offs.

IS-7 and Object 279? Yes! I’d like to see them brought back like any other. Though I do think the difficulty of their grinds should scale to reflect their original grinds a bit.

I would like to see its original tournaments re-run regularly (two or three times a year, for argument’s sake). The E-100 population would hardly get out of hand given the small proportion of e-sports players in the playerbase. I’m not saying Gaijin should give out a tournament prize as freely as a regular event vehicle.

“its not fair for the people that grind this tanks in the Events”
This would be more fair actually, as it’ll give everyone the chance to get these vehicles. How would this be “unfair” to the people who already have the vehicles and have been playing with them for years? At that point, it’s just being selfish and keeping features of the game from other players, many of whom might’ve tried getting that vehicle during the original event but had something come up that stopped them in the end. (power cut, etc…)

“this make events useless”
No it won’t, events would be the same as before. This feature would actually be longer than the events as you’d need to put in more rp than the events would need. However, you’d actually be able to do this over a long period of time instead of being forced to grind in the short term.
