With this latest event announcement, I think it’s high time we tell Gaijin that they need to stick to some basic rules with these events, because the way they have been going is unacceptable in my opinion. Specifically this latest event, but earlier ones as well. Specifically, there are two things I think Gaijin should commit themselves to, in order to make these events at least remotely achievable to people.
Firstly, events should never overlap. It is already enough play time that’s required to grind one event at a time, having two of them run in parallel is basically making them unachievable to most people. When Gaijin announced the new event cycle, they promised us a few days break between events. Stick to that rule!
Secondly, events should always include one buffer stage at the end so that you can miss one stage without losing the vehicle. People have lives, and a single stage at the end, that awards you 4 random modifications, is zero extra work for Gaijin. Forcing you to complete every single stage in order to obtain a vehicle is targeting FOMO in its purest from, a predatory practice game developers should stay away from.
Re: “Just don’t play it then”
Of course we could just not play the events, but collecting vehicles is something people enjoy. By that same logic, a company doubling the price of your favorite food would be perfectly fine and no reason to complain, because you don’t have to eat it. Gaijin is actively making a part of the game that people enjoy worse, and so speaking up about it is legitimate, even if you don’t care about it.
