10 days premium instead of 1-st lowtier vehicle

I actually asked about this matter a long time ago on the old forum, and one of the staff members replied that this was changed, because players didn’t want low rank vehicle in the BP, but wanted the free premium time instead.

When I asked who wanted this change, because I never saw anyone talking about this on the forum, the same staff member replied that our International forum is not the only place where opinions come from. So he basically suggested that the Russian players wanted this change on the Russian forum.

For Gaijin it was obviously a very good change, as they don’t have to prepare an additional vehicle in every BP. I still think it was a terrible decision, because these rank 1 premiums were often fun!

I’m also sure that if someone suggested this change on the Russian forum, they probably assumed something like 30 days of premium time. I don’t think the 10 days of premium is an equivalent of 1 unique vehicle (these low-ranked vehicles were usually fun and unique).

@int main

Random chest instead of a 2-nd guaranteed vehicle - Don’t we have it enough with random chests for SL? The idea of BP is to have guaranteed main prizes so you know what you are paying for. It is a really odd place to put gambling mechanic since you cannot gamble (or marketing manager did not noticed!?)

• The only valid decision - is to give players ability to pick the desired vehicle to compensate a unique BP prize lost.
• Golden Battles Wager up to 1000 GE - I have 7+ old GE wagers and I don’t use them to preserve my mood and sanity in this E-Sports Ready game that being in continious development for a decade with no light nor hope in the end, not worth the burnt nerves. Should compensate in GE directly or give next level choice of other old little premium vehicles.

I feel pretty much the same way as you, but remember that numbers matter. For Gaijin it matters how much it costs to make one more vehicle and how much they lose after reducing number of vehicles in the Battle Pass.

If someone says that they don’t like the new system, but still buys the BP, then Gaijin is a clear winner. The same goes for the new event cycle, SL lootboxes with event vehicles and so on. It’s the players that decide about such things, even if they don’t realize it.

Imagine the situation where Gaijin release the new BP and no one buys it. It wouldn’t take long for Gaijin to increase the value of this BP, because creating the BP costs them money, and the BP itself is a way for them to make money.

An ideal situation for Gaijin would be to put the least effort possible into the next BP, and gain as much money as possible from it. If they reduce the value of the BP and players still buy the BP, nothing will change, that’s just how it works. I think they are now pushing the limits and seeing how many players will still decide to buy the BP.

Im not buying Im just exchanging for my cupons, but yeah I dont think a lot of people will buy this BP, theres litterally nothing in there worthy

[RunaDacino]

Best part is apparently it seems like some weird ULQ PS2 era cockpit.

It’s not my graphics settings.

P-51 and F4U-4 cockpits, literal same graphics setting besides the PBM

I am not sure where this info goes from, but the last time gaijin listened to post-soviet community was… never, it literally never happened. The only thing I see is an attempt to accuse other part of the community and to “answer” the question.

@_Poul_

You just revealed the whole obvious motive, since nobody would ask to remove now two vehicles from BP (we see where dev aimed when were removing 1st vehicle).

BP cost/value

But nobody forced devs to sell 4 premiums for 2k GE at the first place, they dug the pit for themselves. Plus it is not only about the BP creation cost, but also about making players to open the game every day (player involvement), so players will avoid other projects and throw money to this one.

[Zyranovos]

So no real ground vehicle, good shit.

[richthofen122]

Thanks bro ;)

The task requires a Cap, an air kill and a ground target kill in Naval, Ground and Air. This is fairly trivial in ground, and can be done fairly easily in AB and RB. In naval, it is not too difficult, though sometimes getting the air kill can be a bit of a waiting game for someone to spawn as a plane. In Air, this cannot be done in RB and i do not believe it can be done in SB. It can only be done on certaint maps in Air Arcade, you need to get the domination gamemode, as this is the only air gamemode that has caps. The issue is that these domination maps are few and far between, and you are relying on randomly getting 5 of them to even start to get this challenge done. In a previous battle pass where this task existed, i had to play 75 air arcade matches to get 5 domination games, to get the challenge done. That is an insane ask and a huge waste of time, given there is no way of selecting domination maps only.

@T3ddy4

i do not believe it can be done in SB.

If AI kills count, in air SB it shouldn’t be too much trouble. There’s regular air capture zones (another question is if you can win them - a lot of times I just get time expiring as reinforcements keep it in a stalemate) and convoys/battlefields give you things to shoot/bomb.

However, SB seems to be often explicitly barred from doing any of the challenges…

Well, that’s exactly what I tried to explain.

The fact that the next BP is even worse than the current BP means that the current BP was selling well enough for Gaijin. Otherwise the value of the next BP would be much better.

They did the math and apparently don’t see the point of adding a third vehicle back to the BP. Wouldn’t you do the same in their place? Why prepare 3 vehicles when BP with 1 vehicle is still selling very well?

[Get_HeshED]

Let us pick the damn low tier vehicle. If you already removed 1 unique vehicle at least let us choose which one of the old ones we want.

I don’t care about the toldi, i don’t want it. Why everything in this game has to be random?

[LuckyGunner]

@bananomet

This might be the most horrendous mission/challenge I had to complete in WT ever!

I don’t like that one, but there’s a worse one I’m afraid to name because they might just put it back (it involved bombing and distance)

OFC if numbers are not dropping down why cahnge anything…but common my man how can you do that after 10+ years…like tf is this shit

[efetenekeci]

Shit ship, good choice of vehicles for the box, mid aircraft with mid gimmick.

Unless warbonds shop has rank IV vehicles, it is a pass

[Spectre626]

Well it’s got 3 tanks that I want, and I guess it’s set I’d basically get at least one of them, so that’s cool. Not to worried about the rest of it so theirs that. Though where does the tank chest sit on the battlepass, sounds like it’s not the first one so not the free one, so is it the second, or the last one. I’ll definitely be disappointed if it’s the last, considering they’re lower tier vehicles and random, feels like that should be the free one, or at most the second. At least if the plane is the last one I can stop thinking about the event after I get my tank.

[Get_HeshED]

Tank box will sit at level 38. It will not be free, but it will be the first vehicle you will get from the Battle Pass

[Spectre626]

Nice, so only have to get up to 38 and then I can let it drift from my mind. Thank ya for the info.

Does the box only select from the ones you don’t have that are in it, or will it give a duplicate if you have one of the 4 vehicles? Hoping it just narrows it down to one of the three cause at least then I know I’m getting something I actually wanted.

[Gale_Cleven]

Go @Stona…!

[T3ddy4]

@Spectre626

This

[CoFro_8]

Yes. If you have 3 of the 4 vehicles you are guaranteed to get the one you ont have.
