Loot Crates and Increasing the chances

Hello,
Every few months or so, we get loot crates that contain things such as boosters, decals, decorations, skins, wallpapers, smoke, and other items. However most importantly Vehicles, from a personal Standpoint, I have opened tens of thousands of crates, and I’ve been playing since 2014, I have not received a single vehicle, even If I did it would be one that I already had, therefore only receiving a Million SL with no vehicle, they were only Marketplace vehicles, the best example I have was in December of 2023, I used 100$ on SL and just used it for crates and didn’t receive a single vehicle. These crates contain rare, much desired vehicles, such as the Ersatz M10, Zriniyi 1, Tandem MAI, and other rare vehicles that are unobtainable by the market. The biggest question I have? if this game has been out almost 12 years, why is Gaijin still doing this? we already do enough, I’ve certainly put a lot of time and work into this game, over 1,600 hrs. Not to mention just like anyone who plays this, a fair share of money. The gambling sucks, is there any plan that is going to be put in place to make it easier to obtain these vehicles? or increase the chances significantly? respectfully Gaijin or remove the Loot Crates entirely and create mini events, or use tasks that happen once a year in order to obtain these vehicles? because it’s really depressing when you put 30 mil into a bunch of loot crates and don’t receive a single vehicle. What can be done?

Because something about suckers and their rate of birth.

Sit on your fookin’ hands and don’t fall for it.

The gamble boxes are for two types of WT players:

  1. Whales who have more SL than they can ever spend in the game.
  2. The before mentioned suckers.

Some whales were offended apparently.

Whale here o7

I was able to get four vehicles out of the toolboxes alone and of the 25,000,000SL I put in, 5,000,000 were compensated for by SL winnings.

Germany F-4F Early BR 10.3 = 118.99 GJN
China F-100F BR 9.3 = 34.90 GJN
Sweden Pbil w/40 BR 2.0 = 23.97 GJN
Germany Sd.Kfz.234/1 BR 2.0 = 44.99 GJN

Have I played these things much so far? No. But I am happy that I have a chance to get vehicles that you can only get for a lot of money. I’ve only been playing WT for just over a year. I have to be honest and say that I’m already waiting for the next one … 57,000,000SL what else am I supposed to do with it?

Yeah and those are all Marketplace vehicles, I’m talking about the other ones you can’t get from the market and were not given out as coupons, but congrats on winning still trying to get Gaijin to listen to the players on this one =(

I thought the content is always rotated by what’s in the loot boxes.

1.6k hours is nothing.

Just dont get too attached, you would anyway sit on those 30mils so why not have a chance to get something?

You can buy boxes for SL?

How?! What?!

Occasionally they have such an “event” - 60kSL for a box IIRC (50k for the box, 10k for a “key”)… currently I’m sitting on 134 million SL… I’ve spent about 6 million on each time - gotten a few relatively unremarkable vehicle coupons.

But for me the main thing is the 20/30/50% RP boosters - anything else is just decoration … unless I get an IS-7 of course!! :D

God I wish i could buy keys for SL. I got some many boxes from past patches thatI cant open because of that stupid idea that you can only obtain keys from the gajin shop… I mean could ther enot be atleast a chance to have a universal key drop in one of combat boxes or the 7th day box?!

One implementation ive suggested to allow players to get access to these vehicles would be allowing people to purchase a ticket with warbonds, which allows a player to grind X amount of score over Y days, based on the vehicle the ticket is for, and after they complete the score challenge, they get access to the vehicle. This allows people to get these vehicles effectively without paying, but enourages people to engage in the battle passes and buy levels to get extra warbonds if they want. So for example, there may be in the warbond shop a new section that include all these old vehicles, and you can purchase a ticket for the Ersatz M10 for 2500 warbonds, which then requires you to complete 5 marks of distinction, each one taking 40K mission score and being available for 2 days. When the 10 days are up and if you have completed all 5 marks, you get access to the vehicle. The shop that contains these tickets could rotate over time, with the new vehicles getting added to the shop say a month or two after the event they come from ends.

Opened maybe 200 crates

Received around 10 vehicles ,mostly russian low br or crap planes
Not really sure what i kept

It isn’t about whales being offended or not, rather about the rules and language use that the forum imposes on everybody. You can freely tell everybody your opinion without the use of certain words.

There are no forbidden words in my post. If you were offended by my post then you need to dial up the gain on your sense of humor and grow a thicker skin.

Since you had to edit your post there were (probably) some words that would fall under that category, and no, no offense was taken. Stating something about how the forums are supposed to be healthy doesn’t exactly resound as “being offended”.

I did not change anything in my original post, only added the comment about the hurt whale feelers. Or maybe it was a sucker who was triggered…

Got it, still i don’t see the point of being aggressive towards people that simply decide to spend their money in a certain way.

It was funny.

Not sure if you’re aware, the older major patch trophies you can sell for warbonds (25 each). So good to hold on to them and then you can use them if you’re a few warbonds short of something you want.

(I think the ones that are 3 major patch version old can be exchanged for warbonds).

I rather wait for a SL key sell then waste them on warbonds. There is nothing in the shop for me.
