[Development] Introducing War Thunder’s New Event Cycle

Buddy im not the one angry that i will be grinding entire year without a pause playing ineffective game mode and BRs because i need to have a slightly different super sabre with different camo.

You are the one defending it, even though a lower requirement would benefit you equally, so you’re vouching for higher rewards so you can have that exclusivity and feel better about yourself as you have something they do not.

Event vehicles aren’t always redundant copy-paste!

Sometimes they are a unique model with unique capability that severely lacks in the regular tech tree.

Take the XM8 and CCVL for example, both are event light tanks, and US doesn’t have any similar option at high tier.

Not as much as defending it as struggling to understand why would you need to grind every single event vehicle, even if they are objectively just a recolor of already existing one, using the least efficient means aviable.

Pick the ones you are interested in, no one is forcing you to grind everything.

I’m struggling to see how this is an improvement. This doesn’t seem to do anything besides deliberately increase FOMO. And 35-45K per two days? What? It should be lowered to 20K max if you are going to use the line that you want players to be able to get all of the different vehicles.

Gaijin, progress is defined generally by moving forward. This is a textbook example of your monkey-paw fix you’ve been called out for in the past.

Indeed, i agree. Thats why i grind them.

But i personally dont have to grind things like the autumn F-100D, which are just…okay?

Complete assumption that they will be recolors, because many will not be.
A 279, IS-7, 234/4, EBR, AU-1, Tis-Ma, ITP, BI … plenty of unique vehicles that are very useful to have, vehicles that there are no equals in the TT either.

Pick the ones you are interested in, no one is forcing you to grind everything.

And once I’m interested in them, I still need to grind 45k points, which is worse than the event grind with only a single vehicle on offer.

Oh please stop it you drama queen.
40k per 2 days is what we have currently in star events and we all managed just fine. 20k per 2 days would be too easy and the vehicles would be too common. What’s the point of special event vehicles then if everyone has them? These are not TT vehicles. We need to hold at least some semblence of rarity.

That said, nobody is forcing you to grind it. If you don’t want to play said vehicle, nor would you like to sell it, why get so mad about it? Again, this is not mandatory, it’s completely voluntary.

People hate the crafting events because of the soul crushing grind and now you’ve taking that, increased the max ceiling of score needed and sprinkled that throughout the year?

So rather than a single soul crushing event every season we are looking at them distributed throughout the year with some having a 11% increase in score needed?

Just lower the score needed, don’t increase it.

I think this is a net benefit in a lot of ways, and while I think 40K score is fine for the top tier vehicles, I do think that the floor should be reduced below 35K. For low tier vehicles, it should be 15-20K max. Even for high tier vehicles, I’d love to see it not go above 30K, but I recognize that that likely won’t happen. The floor should definitely be lower than 35K though.

I also think this would be an excellent way to bring old event vehicles back in an earnable format. Vehicles like the Lorraine 155 Mle. 50 could be earned again after not being available for so long.

My guy, most people I know who play this hate the 40k requirement as most of us have lives outside the game. And it absolutely should be dropped/lowered. You don’t lose out by it being lowered so I’m not sure as to the purpose of your comment.

Oh yeah you need to be special with your special little event vehicle… maybe requirements should be even higher so only you can have it and be super duper cool.

I’m not sure where you’re getting this from. Yes, I think the score requirement is too high, but this is less than crafting events. To fully complete a crafting event you needed 75K score every day. This is 35-45K every 2 days. I still think that is too high, but it is certainly not worse than crafting events.

Nice word twisting and completely warping what I said, AlvisWisla 2nd account. However got a perfect medicine for that…

It’s a good thing that crafting events are a thing of the past but 35-45k points is too much especially if the events are going to be so often. You should make “the events” included in the normal playtime (grind) for people since they are likely to not be burned out. I feel like this decision will make a lot of people quit war thunder since it’s literally a job now.

30k max is more than reasonable.

Feel free to do so.

What’s the point of special event vehicles then if everyone has them?

Clearly you care the most about exclusive ownership, so I fail to see where I warped your words.

There is no problem with vehicles being common, it just means Gaijin actually has to balance them and can’t get these vehicles run rampant because they’re rare, 20k isn’t too easy either, it’s just an actually realistic and feasible goal for an average player.

Great!

Grind those and ignore recolored copypaste.

With that you should have more enough free time to enjoy the game the way you want!

Myself and many others are going to disagree with you, buddy. 20K should be max. Keeping it any higher is a deliberate use of FOMO.

They’d still come with a 45k requirement, so no I wouldn’t grind them and play the game like a job because that’s an absurd requirement.
