oh sorry i didn’t read that
this thing with the new sale system it had already been adopted with the summer sales when they discounted only up to rank 5 instead of every year with rank 6
stop crying, the new sale system was already adopted back with the summer sales, where they discounted only up to rank 5 vehicles, instead of rank 6 vehicles. I know that most of the vehicles in sale are bad, but you can’t expect only good vehicles like the previous years.

I’m a whale and got nearly every vehicle i want…
But to be honest, after the recent increases in vehicle prices, this sale is indeed lackluster to say at best.
“and aim to include a variety in each one”
This sentence also didn’t make much sense, because those starter packs were on sale on nearly every occasion. There’s no variety.
Wouldn’t convince a friend to buy smth outside of a sale and even then I would remind him that it’s probably more expensive than before.
What you said makes no sense. They have some rank VII for 50% off and you even said it’s a bad sale, so what are you even replying to me for?
Mhm - this thread:
…was closed before i could add a reply to a post, so i will post it here:
I mean what do you expect? Terms and conditions of the gaijin forum explicitly state that everything can be deleted without warning, reason or justification.
From a holistic pov posting here or in any forum is a waste of time as you have no legal ownership rights regarding your post.
I mean take a coffee and look at the linked thread. People want to spend money and are disappointed that the stuff they are looking for was not included in this sale.
Alone the fact that a hell of players are willing to spend money in a game with so many flaws and weaknesses is an amazing success for gaijin. And most of the people here are fully aware of the weaknesses and still spend money as they can decide when to buy what.
And than we have the usual statement that feedback will be transferred to the developers. I have no doubt about the transfer of the feedback, i simply have doubts about that they come to the right conclusions.
End of my reply…
Seeing this thread also derailed - i am actually not surprised that gaijin ignores the vast majority of feedback. I mean if you would try to take their perspective - most of the feedback is not constructive and rather suited to create laughing attacks when they read them.
The few more reasonable opinions based on facts or reliable game experience are ignored if they don’t fit to own opinions, as usual.
As long as the majority of players base their opinions on believes/feelings and actually consider a review bombing due to their dislike of a sale, i am quite sure that they are similar to those guys that are convinced that headons vs 6 x 20mm is a smart idea…
Yes, the last review dislike campaign changed their course and improved the overall economy, but trying to outdry a company backed by a Chinese state investor is simply not a very promising approach…
Edit: Due to flag

Vehicle prices per rank has remained the same since 2013.
But yeah, getting more players into the other 7 tech trees would be nice. Seeing only first 3 tech trees gets old after a while.

You are right. I was expecting something which maybe was too much. And it was my mistake. I learn most of the times from my mistakes. From my point of view things like deleting randomly posts leads to a really bad discussion culture. People who are here for a fight will stay and those who want to take part in changing something get their wakeup call like me and will maybe stay away sooner or later.
Thx for your words I can find some “enlightenment” in them.

so the snail is not going to give in to the demands of the players?
They’re purposefully missing out on tons of F-5C/TURMS/… sales and for what? To put em on sale in December?
I don’t understand the reasoning of “variation” at all.
Kinda disappointed, I got everything I wanted fortunatelly but all of those who didn’t really got the bad end of the stick.

That’s a bit misleading… The same vehicles didn’t 😉
That’s imo the sad thing.
On one hand the Snail says they’re decompressing Tiers, adding another Rank, on the other hand they’re increasing the prices of OG Vehicles because the Snail bumped them up in rank.

it would have been better
Yes but going by you thinkig 100 people buy for 70$ on sale i can bet more people would buy it so you can’t predict that it will be only 2 times more on sale. I know peronaly a few (min 5) pleople that would buy f-5c on sale but none of them would buy it in regular price (high currency exchenge rate for me it’s 1/4 sallary after paying all bills)

There are rank 7 vehicles in this current sale.
The difference is now they only put stuff on sale that is bad/selling poorly, like the British Phantom.

The continual herding of dialogue on this to a singular thread that they can continue to just collectively and conveniently ignore is getting increasingly stale. And they wonder why people have to resort to things like review bombing to get their voices heard. Community relations at their finest and par for the course.
I wish the Gaijin stans here would take their own advice. “If you don’t like what’s on sale, then you don’t have to buy anything”, and if you don’t like players trying to voice their frustration, ignore it. You literally lose nothing by it. If anything, the last time it happened, you got the biggest course correction in the (then) ten years this game has been around. You can still play the game and continue on with your day.
But for you to come in here and dump on the frustration that you, at the end of the day, have zero context on why they themselves might have that frustration in the first place makes you no less of the child you are painting these people to be. You don’t own the market share on frustration.
Gaijin broke their own precedent, let a lone CM give a non-answer reply, and now seemingly just ignore this singular post they are shepherding players to. You’re fine with the sale? Cool, so why are you here.

Gaijin should be more transparent when it comes to changes regarding sales.
Before this anniversary, their sales had a fixed pattern, but it suddenly changed by excluding all the best-selling rank 7 from the big three in this sale.
The way Gaijin treats the packs on sale can be interpreted in two ways. It is either:
- These packs sell great anyway, so they don’t need to be on sale. In this way, they can get more profit. People are waiting for months so the disappointment can be overwhelmed by the desire to have the vehicle, so some will pay the full price to get the vehicle. (Market decision, a very greedy and upsetting one)
- Gaijin wants the premium users to distribute more evenly between the less-used premium and the spammed ones so that more people can start to play minor nations as well as flying different premiums. (Gameplay-related decision)
Either way, the sale certainly disappoints a significant portion of people planning to buy a premium. Those who bought a GE vehicle to pair a gift pack vehicle probably feel like being scammed, and they would have been better off if Gaijin announced the plan for the sale and its reason in advance. Content creators can review the actual vehicles going to be on sale and fewer people will be disappointed.
Now, Gaijin needs to explain why such a decision is made and whether these vehicles will appear in the Christmas sale.

No.
Likely true.
Are you working for half your normal wage some weeks? Are you greedy? Should your employer be upset, if you don’t?
Would be an option too.
Or both?
Different from what you claim, their sales do not follow a consistent pattern, date aside.

i said is bad, because the anniversary sale of the previous year was good, because it had the most op vehicles on sale, and i reply on your comment because you were crying, i wanted to buy 3 vehicles but only 1 of them went on sale, but i didn’t come to cry in this comment section like you
i was talking about the summer sale not the anniversary
Honestly, sales are great, usually. This is no exception, the only reason sales are not good anymore is because people with rank I-III with no understanding of the game decide to buy one, and then get lucky by being blessed by gaijin. Honestly just miserable to play during sale times.
They’re not going to explain their reasoning. They don’t care as long as they’re making money.
