every vehicle either copypasted with minor tweaks, or outright recycled from previous BP seasons
what used to be BP lvl14 rewards now as lvl38 with added gambling/RNG
what used to be BP lvl38 is now lvl56
BP lvl75 looks like lowest BR reward vehicle yet (massive downgrade compared to early BP seasons)
unless some new method for guiding glide bombs is introduced the Hs293 will be just pointless gimmick, you can’t hit anything from altitude and trying low-altitude passes with four-engined heavy bomber is suicide.
so now we basically have equivalents of what used to be lvl14 reward (everything in trophy box), lvl38 reward (literally copypasted Detroit), lvl56 reward (F2G-1 is BR 6.0 rank 4, same as the copypasted He-177) … and the lvl75 reward basically disappeared.
is there someone at Gaijin who’s responsibility is to make BP worse and worse as full time job, or do you guys just improv it, pool your ideas for downgrades and make it worse on the fly?
Isnt the List a Bit off? I got everything from the third BP but the Toldi was missing Till the last SL Crates. How is This possible? And no i can‘t Sell it Xbox Account
Edit: NVM could be possible that i got 1 MIL SL in the last Crates instead 😂
um . . you still get 10 days premium time at lvl 14 . . and if you paid for that directly it is almost the same as half the price of a BP purchase. You can also make it to lvl 14 just logging in Daily and not even playing a single match, so . . . it ain’t nothing. People look at the BP in a 2 dimensional “I only get “X” amount of vehicles and I don’t like any of them cuz . . . reasons . . . reeeeeeeeeeeee” manner and miss the “big picture” on how much stuff is actually offered to them, just for playing the game. I don’t even pay for the BP’s anymore, just work it to lvl 125, keep all the vehicles and everything I get is . . . FREE. I don’t know if that is the “best” way to do it, but it works for me . . .
Also, I don’t welcome the chest, but I do want the older vehicles, so I’m glad theirs a (Albeit absolute garbage) way to get them. I’d rather have the more vehicles in the pass option back, or a selectable vehicle option where at some rank you get to select from a select list of certain rank vehicles. Even just the more unique warbond shop vehicle option.
So do I welcome it, no. Am I glad I get one of 3 vehicles that I want, all of which will be entertaining no matter which one I get, yes. Do I wish things were less random and the battlepass had more value, definitely.
Has anyone considered that perhaps Gaijin are devaluing the BP so much because they simply don’t make enough money anymore from it? I mean apart from some GE levels, I don’t think I have paid for a BP since I started, as I am able to just get coupons for each new season. I think the return on investment for Gaijin probably isn’t there anymore which is why they are not really investing in the BP any longer. And so they are just quietly going to kill it off now that we have the new event cycle by making its value so poor that when they do pull it, no one will care?
As for the box, I do like the idea of recycling old assets and I am happy to receive any of the vehicles but I really do not understand the logic of the RNG element. This is not like the SL/GE/Shop boxes where they want you to keep gambling away some sort of currency, this is a set prize that you get regardless. So why not let the player pick it and get some enthusiasm for each season?
Better yet, why not put ALL non-coupon vehicles into the box. Make it the level 75 prize and allow the player to pick the one they want each time. Even if there are like 20 vehicles, it means that player is likely to play 20 more BPs to get them all. That’s 5 years of battle passes, certainly an incentive for Gaijin. The RNG for this box is just dumb, makes no sense to the player nor for Gaijin.
well money is not problem to me its I hate wasting money…and this BP is waste of money… I also have cupons to exchange but if BP was better I would buy it…like this seeing these MF have time to make new premiums but not to make a BP vehicles just makes me stop playing this ungreatfull game…
I really wanted to play Gripens…and I tought its a good plane for grinding…then they put it 11.3 like a 5 days after I bought it…and nerfed rockets…And I managed to come to rank 5 but after F14 iranian I just stoped… like its waste of time especially not having RWS and fighting IR and radar missles…and now they put it in 11.0 and its same garbage…unfortunately
Also A-5C at 10.7 with 9 flares and Chaffs is also hard pass.
and if you buy year of premium during sales then the 10 days from BP is equivalent to 200GE. But a few days of premium account really aren’t really what players are looking for when buying BP. Btw, you don’t see Gaijin promoting BP by mentioning boosters or 10 days of premium, they do it by advertising BP vehicles.
Any way you look at it it is clear that BP rewards are declining … we used to get four premium vehicles, now we dont. We used to get original or interesting vehicles, now we don’t because everything is copypasted. And now we get what used to be lower BP level rewards artificially bumped up to higher levels.
it is very obvious that the things most players (and obviously even Gaijin) consider “worthwhile” are being removed, significantly downgraded or replaced by stuff most players (and obviously even Gaijin) consider pretty much worthless. If you doubt the declining value proposition, you can let Gaijin convince you, go to warbond shop and look at how differently devs value fluff like boosters or wagers or backups when compared to even low-rank premium vehicles. That’s not me making some wild speculations, that’s Gaijin directly assigning value to these things.
