No - you CAN play all 3 modes if you want, but 1/2- 2/3rds of the special tasks in each BP are not limited to any mode so you can complete them in anything at all.
Plenty of content for you - you probably haven’t actually read the tasks!!
Your loss due to your ignorance.
Always the gentleman… not that you are wrong though…
everybody gets everything easily’ makes no sense.
Oh yeah this is Warthunder after all, where we get events and BPs but they don’t actually want people to get the rewards from it, everything needs to be difficult and demanding to a point where only a minority is able to accomplish it because reasons.
When players lose “due to ignorance” - developers loose too.
So far I got all event and BP rewards that I wanted, with in my opinion acceptable effort (and this as fully working and also otherwise active and involved dad with not really a lot of time or very regular time slots for WT on my hands).
If I want something, I’m able to get it, if the effort is by my standards too much for me, I don’t.
And I fully accept and understand that if I don’t put the extra effort in, I’m not entitled to get the extra rewards.
Events and BP are for people to put extra effort in to get extra rewards, NOT a possibility for everybody to get stuff for almost “free”. Maybe an old fashioned view, but I stand by this, even if people find this “dumb”.
Curious about how you rather play instead of pay, after all you have a job and money
Again it doesn’t matter how you feel on the subject, my point is always the same:
Less constrictive BP would increase the players engagement and developers income. More people would play it, more people would get the prizes, devs would get more money, everyone wins except you that feel how rewards are not paid with “sufficient” effort - which nobody should care for : )
Ppl that feel that way are always best collateral damage of changes that benefits everyone, no offense ; )
It’s fascinating how people with the least of free time value theirs so little
“Yes, I will grind down 3 months for HOURS daily, for 30 Gjn worth of prize, why not!!” : ))
Well, yes I could afford it, but I personally find it more fulfilling to unlock the stuff myself.
As to how, my “trick” is to pick game modes and vehicles where my preferred playstyle allows to finish daily tasks, challenges and event tasks in the limited time I have (or want to invest).
And yes, if I really don’t manage to complete it in time, I’ve sometimes retorted to spend a bit of GE to buy the achievements.
Nothing wrong with that! Again: my view is, if you want it, you can have it - IF you are willing to invest. Be that time/effort or money.
If you’re not willing or able to invest that, then, sorry, you should not be entitled to get the special goodies.
So if I pay MONEY and play the game DAILY but not in the way that makes me hate my life, I did not earn special reward made out of pixels and light that cost nothing to make and nothing to give?
Gotcha.
Let me just say that sometimes player base deserves exactly what it gets.
Strange assumption.
In my case I can usually complete both daily tasks and a special task with just maybe 45 minutes of gameplay with the vehicles I enjoy to play anyway. Maybe I’m just lucky, dunno. Can only speak for myself and my own experiences.
And some challenges may take longer, or some even ridiculously little time and effort (for 3 BP levels…).
Events usually are tougher to achieve, I find, but the BP I find not much of a hassle, and am usually surprised how well before the end of the season I get to the top vehicle. Or in seasons where I don’t actively participate because I don’t fancy the rewards, how far I get without even trying…
Vehicles do cost money to make. 3d modellers need their pay, programmers need their pay, special effects artists need their pay, sound artists need their pay, researchers need their pay, that is a large group of people, you are paying each of them thousands on a monthly basis.
Imagine how much it costs to have such group work on one vehicle for just one hour? Now multiply that by the total manhours needed for that one particular vehicle…
Yeah, I was expecting this answer ‘‘I have what I want so there is no need to change since I like having something others do not.’’
Sadly a feeling that seems to present in a lot of people around here, who want to keep things out of reach for others for selfish reasons, who wants BP vehicles and event vehicles to remain difficult if not impossible to obtain for others, who do want event vehicles to become available again because ’ I had to work for it so others should not get it easier than I did’.
Even vehicles they obtained almost a decade ago they want to remain exclusive because they don’t want to lose being an owner of something rare and don’t want others to get it without going through the same suffering.
Events and BP are for people to put extra effort in to get extra rewards, NOT a possibility for everybody to get stuff for almost “free”
Why do they have to be exactly?
This doesn’t sound like an elitist event to me where only those who put in a bunch of extra time and effort are able to get rewards, it gets presented as an event for everyone.
NOT a possibility for everybody to get stuff for almost “free”
Don’t think anyone said that.
I think gaijin’s point is that the event is open for everyone to try. In their articles, they have very clearly listed the requirements for each vehicle, which is something you did not show.
They are not hiding any of the requirements, you just have to read more than the first 5 sentences.
Wether the event suits you or not is up to you, and your personal life. The event is open to you regardless.
No one forces you to compete in the BP. It’s an extra bonus/gamemode to achieve new vehicles. Most of the vehicles are just copy past anyway. The only plane/ship I still use these days is the B7A2 Homare. I don’t pay for the BP as most vehicles are not interesting at all.
Most of the time I use the Battle Pass for the Warbonds shop. Bought some really interesting planes this way.
Do you need to reach level 150? For what? A poster? For free players level 95 is the level to reach. After that it’s nearly impossible to earn Warbonds without paying.
This Season I got the stupid truck with useless cannon which will stay in the garage foreaver as I don’t play tanks, so nothing lost. Bought myself the MGB, but regret it already. The thing is completley useless. But hey I got enough warbonds for the next season. Can’t wait te see what I can buy next BP.
Now if they put a high value level on the level 150, people would complain how much you need to play in order to reach the level 150…
So, the main prize sits at a more reasonable level.
Same with the Winter Challenge. I’m not interested in these vehicles to play with them. But I compete in naval and air, just to sell the ship and plane on the market. This way I earn enough credits to buy the vehicles I want.
Only need level 9 and 10…
Not that much when they outsource the models to a Russian company, slap a generic engine sound on it and many weapon systems are shared.
Not to mention when some of these vehicles are in the game already anyways.
When this is the event vehicle
And this an existing vehicle in the game
how much it costs to work on one vehicle for just one hour?
Someone might have spend about 2 minutes on the decals and someone else might have tweaked some numbers, but beyond that I wouldn’t think this took up even one hour.
they have very clearly listed the requirements for each vehicle
That still doesn’t change the fact on how it’s presented when you create a holiday event that says you can get rewards if you just ‘participate’.
I feel like this is ironic as the mirage 2000 has a more special sound compared to other jets.
True, they did cost money to make yet in the tech tree you can also unlock them for free.
While the event vehicle is already in the game, i think your point only holds up if the vehicle was premium, where the vehicle would pay itself out. In free to get vehicles (event, tech tree), what generates the revenue is premium time and other premium vehicles. A free to player person gets to play these vehicles that cost money to make while gaijin would not get any revenue out of it.
You may argue that the mirage 2000c-s4 is generating revenue now since people are buying GJN to pay for it, but it would not generate any money if they just gave it away.
