Which are all good tech tree options.
Event vehicles shouldn’t out-pace tech tree additions.

Modifications and prototypes are pretty standard event vehicle choices. The Mirage in this event is a perfect example of this.

How about instead of loot boxes you just bring back those vehicles by making them available for purchase (even if only for a limited time). I’m not spending money on these loot boxes.

Im really not o fan of event rewards tied to lootboxen(lootboxes are allready bad and predatory practice) like the icon and sticker why the hell do you think this is a good idea ??? this is something we have to stop or we will have the next boycott/backlash and reviewbombing allready set up for next year.
im ok with sl lootboxen and their rewards. and why are these ge boxes so expensive ???

Chests. The biggest con in Video Game history.

Long way past getting mugged over those again.500 GE for a sticker. No thanks.
If I want to waste good money to see a nice chest I will get a subscription to Pornhub.

TEC has a wonderful video about this. I’m kind of shocked the community seems so resigned to this stuff.

That is an epic avatar, but is it worth 50$?

It’s not. I still want it tho…

Vote with your wallet, mate. The more we buy this sort of stuff now, the more GE lootboxes we’ll see in the future, and perhaps even worse.

RNG in exchange for real, hard currency should not just be accepted as a fact of life in videogames. It’s not actually paying for the pfp that I take issue with (even though that price point makes me do aa double take), it’s the gambling element. In a game that has a good chunk of teenagers among its playerbase, I might add.

The more I think about it, the worse it looks.

It’s a shortcut to have this game banned in Europe for sure. If document leaks were not enough for politicians to justify banning the game, gambling with real money for sure is.

In my country it’s forbidden to gamble on sites for people under 18 yo AND outside of domestic sites. So what Gaijin is doing is 100% illegal in my country. :)
(can’t even play poker outside of .cz domains sigh)

Edit: I guess they must have changed it.

It is still illegal for people under 18 yo though.

Seriously wish it was less mission score so it could even be possible to get 2 if you have any sort of life or job

Even 1 is miserable

20k would be fair imo.
And 500 GE per stage.

The game’s main target audience is young professionals with enough disposable income but not too much time. Events like this are constructed around that philosophy, so I would say you’re experiencing pretty much what they intended - an incentive to dish out some money in exchange for “convenience” and grind-skipping.

It’s clear that the formula works for them. To me it feels that there’s been an overall standardisation of things in War Thunder: events, new map designs etc clearly follow a formula, what they have determined stat-wise that works better for the average player (maps that many players are likely to be ok with, and events that walk the line to provide a monetisation incentive).

because german Wüstentarn on a Lithuanian vehicle makes sense right?
btw will the reported issues about the Vilkas be present when the event hits live?

There will be enough user skins

Asking for 35k-40k per 2 days is like 2.5-4hrs a day, which is crazy. Good luck sleeping for 2 weeks if you have a job or dont have mom to cook, clean and do dishes for you, let alone anything else that comes up in life
