Battlepass just isn't what it was

“Firepower” was the last BP to offer 4 (!) playable items:

“Northern King” was the last to offer 3 playable items:

Now we have been at 2 for a bit. It’s not as exciting. I have bought in to BPs less and less since it’s become 2.

And look at the variety in these examples. Firepower had an Italian tank, a British MTB, a Chinese LT and a Russian attacker (quite a decent one too; I bought in to that BP and have all of those).

Even at 3, Northern King had a US Coastal, an ROC P-51C and a Tiger 2 for Sweden.

BPs just used to be better.

This current BP; I didn’t buy in because I’m not interested in a Chinese vehicle. I got the SB-25 but that’s a moot point; I don’t even “need” it nor was it interesting to me.

2000GE worth of non-vehicle bonuses are in the first half of levels.
A rank IV premium vehicle that’d be ~7400GE as a normal premium.
A free rank 3 vehicle that’d be ~3000GE as a normal premium.
And currently a past vehicle or 1 mil SL…
The BP is currently more than worth it.

I disagree. The main draw of BPs is clearly a non TT playable item, and as a main draw, they have been reduced by half.

As I said to Alvis the playable items are the major attraction, and despite (or because of) being so they have been reduced by half.

Very true.
Though I did attempt to imply those things.
I got the “Lady Death” pinup from this Warbonds shop.

Well done. You’re learning.

i bought into that bp for several reasons:

  1. the chinese ratcar will probably cost a pretty penny in a year or so
  2. i like the other rewards, such as the profile picture, decals (china is very lacking in decals)
  3. i like the warbond shop

now for the point i want to make:
THE RATCAR WILL COST NOTHING! MY GRIND WAS POINTLESS!
due to a BP level bug some players got absurd amounts of progress with no effort on their part
…how did gaijin remedy this obvious issue that is going to hit the market in 3 months? they didn’t, atleast for now

so the already lackluster battlepass which nowadays has whole 2 (1 of which is always a copyslop) vehicles instead of 4 they had before is now even less appealing for me (and a lot of other players)
