Operation R.E.L.I.C. [Bringing back unobtainable vehicles and cosmetics]

I am very much against that, but okay. Many great suggestions have become locked due to them moving over to the considered section. Old image links become broken, and newly discovered information cannot be added anymore. As the creator of this suggestion I feel that I should have the ability to say no to this becomming considered, and thus locked forever.

The way I see event vehicles, and the way I view this event suggestion, is that there must be some kind of heavy grind to it. As can be seen in this comment section, there is already a split between people that love the idea, and those that are very much against it. I feel that making this event a common thing would do much more harm then good. But that is my opinion ofcourse.

I’d love to see this.

As a newer player who sink in I can tell the FOMO is real. I would love to fill my current lineups with unobtainable vehicles.

I bought plenty of premium vehicles, year of premium time, GE… some token of appreciation from snail would be nice.

Sadly I’m not this optimistic…

Yeah, I’m worried about that as well. My idea now is that at some point I’ll add a feedback and update topic that’s linked in the suggestion so devs can see and access it after it’s passed.

But I’m also not fully sure about the rules behind this and I haven’t asked yet.

I’m affraid that would be the only thing we could do at that point. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that point

I’d be down for that too, just anything that doesn’t involve sweating all day for two weeks.

-1 would rather time be spent on newer stuff.

If you’d like an explanation, you need to reach out to Suggestion Moderators, as per the rules:

This event wouldn’t take much time to make. It re-uses old models that are already in the game. The only thing that has to be made is the interface for the actual event

I agree with the idea but not really the method.
Rather they should make vehicles and cosmetics a thing you can purchase with currency obtainable via battle pass progression, standard events, monthly specials (i.e. doing the challenges intended for pfp now) and at purchasable for whales.
i.e. if you get max currency in a single BP that should be enough for up to a single IV event vehicle. An idea is also to give the player the ability to scrap an event vehicle they haven’t activated for 70-80% of what its cost in this currency would be.

That is also a cool way to bring back old event vehicles and cosmetics. It would not force people to grind yet another event, instead they earn it through existing onces.

But I doubt Gaijin would do something like that since it would reward people “for free”. The reason I think my proposal works really well is because it’s got lots of aspects Gaijin can use that earn money with, whilst also not punishing players too much.

Cool idea but you can’t just make up an acronym like R.E.L.I.C. and then not explain what it stands for!

Absolutely, this should be implemented, people will probably love it. I do have a concern because of Gaijin’s stake in this all because they will stand to lose monetarily. The marketplace will certainly be the biggest loser in all of this because the prices will probably go down on average, since this will be a reliable alternate way (not lootboxes) to access the vehicles that sellers offer on the marketplace, and thus the prices would now be set by the effort one needs to put into a vehicle in order for them to attain it. Simply put: Is the IS-7 REALLY worth 2000 euros if everyone could in theory get it in 2 years for free? Maybe some people would put down 2000 euros just to circumvent playing the game twice per year during a set period but vehicles not locked behind others that can be accessed directly with currently high market prices (eg: BMD-4 as listed here) are sure to come crashing down. Albeit, the market surely isn’t the primary way Gaijin’s money and high priced purchases are not happening all the time, the sellers will probably be angry that the change made the marketplace functionally obsolete.

Just let me grab a non-tradable IS-7.
Other than that, I don’t care for the older vehicles I couldn’t get.

You’ll probably find yourself earning stars anyway if you play daily in the set period during which the event is active, bonus goodies galore.
