It could also be something like this:
300 games played in Tiger II to be allowed to unlock the Tiger 10.5
or something simpler like
Both Tiger IIs spaded to access unlocking the Tiger 10.5
Making it a difficult grind + requirements will not destabilize the market.
The people who buy off of the marketplace are generally not the same people who have the patience to grind for vehicles.
i mean if you make vehicles received non tradeble then there would be no price drop really
+1; Honestly just want a way to get things like the Ro.57 Quadriarma, H-75M and VL Myrsky II with out the loot boxes from the premium battlepasses. I don’t like the keeping them rare argument, at-least for digital goods and especially in a competitive game; I can’t see the harm in an event like this once a year, or like a rotation where you can grind the monthly vehicle OR get a star or whatever to whatever previous event vehicle you missed that is not available in the market.
I would disagree with this, especially if things like the 341 buff keep happening. That completely killed 5.7-7.7 for everything but Germany (shocker) and was the only time I saw Germans have a decent winrate.
They could most likely vibe code the interface in an afternoon by reusing old assets. This could be ready to go this summer if they decided to do it.
but, who have the flakpanzer? a couple old veterns, like 200 persons?
It would be only fair for payer to have to grind as originally tese vehicles are event which means people grinded for them, getting them the same way is only fair
There’s some premiums that should have been in the TT like the turans, toldis or the 75mm sd.kfz.
Meanwhile a single prototype t-34-85 (STP) is TT.
I don’t know how, but they should bring back some of these in a more obtainable way so I’d say yes.
+1
I’ve seen far more than 200, but without Gaijin’s internal stats we may never know.
(Stona if you see this please tell us how many 341 exist)
BUT technically there would be less demand so people would wait for this event and instead of the market and make prices drop by 2 pennies.
I don’t like it when they defend the market so hard, because then it ends up as a argument for balance because the X vehicle is rare and costs a kidney.
I literally brought coke for cheaper than all vehicles in the market go for.
Cola or the other kind? Prices these days are insane man. But yeah, the marketplace is amazing but if you want to trade stocks for god’s sake go to wall street
Both
It is pretty near the state of the CS market, where people literally had 90% of all their money in it.
yeah i dont like the market either i dont like the idea of event vehicles in general as there suppossed to be like prototypes or one off things but then you get things like the F4D-1 or F11-A which are service planes not prototypes or one offs, BIG BUT then you get vehicles like for example the F2G-1 or OBJECT 279 which are just a royal pain to fight cause there literally the pinnacle of a certain design for example ill use the F2G-1 at 6.0 as it best suits my problem
the F2G-1 super corsair has a 32 cyclinder engine and 3000HP and is 6.0 while the most advanced techtree is the F4U-4B at similar br the tech tree corsair gets 4 20mm cannons but thats where the advantages stop for it its at a HP deficit make less horse power on similar frame meaning youll get out energy by the F2G-1 and theres nothing you can do
so i would prefer event vehicles be useless stuff like F117 instead of being a OP prototype that was clearly suggested for tech tree
-1 name gives too many flashbacks to BMPT’s ERA (JK, great proposal)+1
I just want a reliable way to get my missing WW2 Hungarian tanks. Yes, technically the Turán and Toldi sometimes is included in the battle pass, but with my luck, they would be the last that I would manage to draw from the box, and that would cost me not only years, but money, that I would like to not spend on a battlepass otherwise…
Oh I can assure you, I did not forget a bout him, but at least that was an one off prototype and not a series-production vehichle. Anyway, It surely would come handy at 4.0.
Also since Gaijin values the marketplace price balance so much I’d like to argue that once in a year trickle of these vehicles won’t disturb the market prices, we already have a 3x a year trickle of these vehicles via the lootboxes.
It can be argued it takes the same effort but more concentrated than the lootboxes with vehicles.
I could grind a year SL and dump it all into the next lootbox and mathematically I am sure to get some random event vehicle that I could sell on the market. On top of it I get a myriad of boosters and wages that can boost my SL/RP.
On the other hand, I could grind for a specific one through the once in a year event and keep it to myself without putting it for sale on the market. So RELIC should definitely make the vehicles instant activation on the account and not available for the market.
This makes everyone happy, the whales keep buying off of the marketplace, people who REALLY wanna play that one vehicle finally get to do so, and marketplace price stay stable.
It looks like a win-win for everyone on paper. And I wish to highlight again, something Gaijin can confirm for themselves through internal statistics, that the people who are willing to go on a long grind for a vehicle, are not the same people who would ever dish out money on the marketplace.
On a final note, I think FOMO, is a horrible practice, you made a game, you made content, and you don’t want people to have a fair opportunity to experience it ??? if they think that is what keeps people playing they might are clearly in the wrong, with their own latest stats published, it is a fresh gamemode like Nuclear Thunder that keeps people and brings people back, not FOMO.
So it is fair to say that any worries about marketplace stability are dismantled, and so is the FOMO practice.
RELIC event, I believe, would increase player retention and Gaijin would definitely see more players play during it.
+1, perhaps stars could also be obtained for a steep price of convertible RP (say 1 or 2 million for a star?)
I like the idea of using CRPs for **something * in the game as they are currently useless right now.
