Following the Roadmap: In-Game Wishlist Functionality and Steam Friends List Integration

Ye lovely, maximum focus on milking and zero focus to make game balanced and fair.

Why i have to play constantly against +1br morons, and never against -1br? Or atleast same br?! For this question i never got the answer…

Outstanding, Gaijin. 🫡

I do want to say, though, considering the sheer number of Premium, Event, Store Pack, and Squadron vehicles available in War Thunder, having a 100 vehicle limit for the wishlist is a pretty paltry amount. I love this new feature, but players should really have at least 3-4 times that, IMO. Would you please consider increasing it?

Careful now. Peaking behind the curtain could lead to some unforeseen consequences.

I remember mentioning a concern about the new random 120% reward total that Gaijin came to when they rolled out for the Severe Damage mechanic, and that the new 120% total reward was just the same 100%, and everything below was adjusted accordingly. This seemingly allowed Gaijin to nerf rewards because players, for some reason that is lost on me, thought the mechanic was a good idea. It was hidden very quickly.

players, for some reason that is lost on me, thought the mechanic was a good idea.

Why? Because they post some vague thing about a change without properly explaining the implications of this.
Give people a few days to vote on it and then it’s done.

Within 5 days they pushed through 2 new features that can be completely game changing and it could have easily been 4.

The new modules were pushed through based on a total of 119 words of a generic description of what the plan is.

No images, no videos, no examples… not a week to test out these features… it’s done and it will be implemented.

For comparison this post is also 119 words

Was referring to a different mechanic so this reply is a bit lost on me, friend.

Because those mechanics get implemented in the same way, at least the severe mechanic one got a few days of testing but they still get pushed through before people fully have a chance to consider the implication… currently for example people are getting screwed with the new BP because severe damage replaces assists in a lot of situations.

Useless feature for Xbox, you can’t view other people’s wishlist, it’s more of a personal list on console.

Same on Steam PC. Pretty meh at the moment, considering majority of recent and future Warthunder players did or will create their accounts through those wishlist limited platforms.

Hopefully the functionality will get improved.

sad… cant even wish for it.

No reason to buy any vehicle above -50%, when they have a yearly price knockoff in november at -50% anyway.

Now if the random sale you get once in a while were 55-60 % off, I would consider buying whatever they wanted me to waste my money off, because it’s a better deal.

That’s entirely dependent on how long is a player willing to wait.

Not everyone wants to wait 6+ months for sale and rather buys it for 30% off now. Especially if it is one of the cheaper vehicles.

If you want to buy something like Clickbait or F20, then sure 50% off is more worth waiting for.

Another factor is how much do you get out of your buy. You can wait for bigger sale, but by the time, the sale comes, you already researched big portion of tech tree and if you wanted that vehicle mainly to boost your research speed, then it will be worth less money for you as the time goes on, so 30% off now could be better deal than 50% off much later.
