I mean, I’ve been wondering if they would ever start putting higher rank vehicles in the BPs, but it seems unlikely, based on the price of the BPs.
Edit: actually looking at the Sholefs real life specs, it might end up being rank 5 to match the minimum BR and the fact that it is pretty modern
As for Battle Pass vehicles i have no objection, they could be made available by some sort of system where you get to a certain, high battle pass level and get a quest for some old battle pass vehicle. This would be fine, because it would greatly limit down the distribution of such vehicles and at the same time give people incentive to grind out battle pass post level 80 or 125 depending on whether they want to sell the vehicles or not.
But when it comes to event vehicles i don’t see suitable solutions. The 2 versions of every event vehicle seems fair, but we already have a metric tone of copypaste in game so i am not so sure about that.
What i am 100% against though is selling them in any way outside of marketplace, rerunning events for old vehicles and putting them in warbond shop.
Um, actually in the sholef devblog in the last sentence they say you will be able to get the sholef just for playing. It implies that it could end up as a level 50 reward and main reward could be a ship or helicopter. If it’s a heli it could be very interesting, but if the main reward ends up being a ship, i’ll probably skip it
I don’t get why you support the SL crates then. Yeah, they distribute only small amounts of the vehicles, but they are the worst method to bring these vehicles back.
People that want the vehicles need to be extremely lucky to get them and in many cases couldn’t even buy them from the market even if they wanted to, as there is a plethora of event vehicles that didn’t have tradeable coupons and on top of that console doesn’t even have access to the market.
I’d say a rerun is probably the fairest way to do it, as everyone then has to essentially do the same things, or spend the same GE amount to get it.
While I’ve heard people argue “it should be harder for those that missed it”, I don’t think that’s quite fair. Those that didn’t miss it got the vehicles quite a bit earlier, which is compensation enough, along with maybe an exclusive camo to show they got the original event.
Though I’d still prefer an exchange system for newer event rewards. This way you’d have to pass out on a new and sellable event vehicle for an old one activated to the account.
Make it a random, or at least Gaijin picked, limited selection of choices so you can’t just get anything at any time and the market still has a reason to exist, though maybe with more reasonable prices.
I support SL boxes, because i think that system itself by design isn’t bad. It’s just that it needs some changes to be a bit more fair. I’ll write down changes i would implement to it again.
with these changes in place, i wouldn’t really have any more problems with SL crates. You really don’t need that much SL to get the vehicle, around 10-15 million SL per vehicle on average isn’t that bad considering how much time you have to prepare, it’s just that player should have more control over what is he rolling for
That still is entirely luck based. Why are you so adamant that old event vehicles should be locked behind RNG?
I would like a score based rerun event where you can also just GE each Star. For example you have the T55E1 for 6 score Tasks but you can GE every one, one every two days. Basically how Events currently are.
This idea actually came up in my “No more vehicle exclusivity” thread:
I just think it is a good compromise, much better than whatever we have now. I don’t believe gajin will ever add a system where you get the tank guaranteed after opening a certain amount of boxes to SL crates, this imho is at least much more realistic.
Not everything that is luck based is immediately bad. This is not a real money gamble, so i am fine with depending on the law of averages here.
I’ve opened thousands of these and they are honestly fairly fair. I just think that i should choose what vehicles i am rolling for. Rolling itself isn’t a bad thing for me.
Another possible solution i just came up with would be some sort of item you could get for some various activities (some additional stage in current events, just like coupon upgrade maybe?) that would allow you to rerun some random old event, but converted to new score format, slightly harder and without the ability to GE the stages. You could activate it whenever you could be sure that you will have time to complete it.
This item could also be divided to some sort of rarities so that you don’t grind a lot to get a rank 2 event pop up, but rather have an option to claim this item for rank 1-2, rank 3-4, 5-6 or 7-8 with different difficulty in obtaining.
For example from next italian naval event you could get a rank 1-2 item for like 250k mission score in whole event duration, rank 3-4 for like 450k, rank 5-6 for 650k and rank 7-8 for 800k, but you could claim only 1 of them of your choice.
Then when you make sure you have a lot of time, you activate it and it randomly gives you let’s say a Tiger Tiger quest which could have a same difficulty like current rank 7-8 ground events, without ability to skip for GE
This is an idea i came up with within like last 10 minutes, so it’s obviously imperfect, but you would be guaranteed to get the old event vehicle, it would limit down the distribution and at the same time wouldn’t put on you as much pressure as normal events do, since you could activate it whenever you want.
It could also have a system that would prevent you from getting events for duplicates, but that’s optional
Unless you buy a lot of GE for SL conversion though. Starting with zero SL it will cost 684€ worth of GE to convert into enough money for 1000 Boxes.
Yeah, but not many people do that. I just earn most of my SL through playing like the vast majority of players
so my fun about collecting and spading vehicles shouldn’t be done cuz you don’t like :clueless:
Please stop using AI art for profile pictures and other art work in game. Hire and pay real artists.
The crates themselves aren’t a problem. They can continue to exist and honestly should stay.
They shouldn’t be the only source of previous event vehicles however. You cannot rely on luck and, while yes, if you could buy an infinite amount of them you would be bound to get the vehicle you want eventually, in reality there is no guarantee. You could get your target vehicle in the first crate, but you could also end up never getting it, despite buying millions of them. Meanwhile someone else could get the same vehicle multiple times, maybe even twice in a row.
That’s just luck and no amount of time or money can counteract bad luck.
I like your idea though. There already is a secondary ‘challenge’ to get the coupon upgrade every event, so maybe they could just let you exchange those coupons for other previous event vehicles (direct unlocks of course, no tradeable coupons). To appease the collectors the highly sought after vehicles could cost more than one coupon.
That way the coupons on the Marketplace would still have value, as they would still work as shortcuts.
Enemy of progress
You are welcome to collect stuff, just not to gatekeep content because you were around for events that others couldn’t or just didn’t participate in.
Same goes out to a certain Development Team who are gatekeeping certain historically controversial vehicles despite their whole Game being only semi-realistic and semi-historical at best.
God I want that Coelian and Tiger 10,5cm
Except the marketplace has absolutely ridiculous prices. Seeing random vehicles go well above 100 GJN is not uncommon - right now the Pak Puma is at 288 GJN! Who the hell is gonna spend that kinda money on a pixel tank??
The game is not voluminous enough to justify the repeated use of AI art, especially in the case of profile pictures. I can understand if random posters in a sprawling city have generic art work which doesn’t require artistic merit, but specific customization elements like profile pictures and screen backgrounds warrant a real artist.
