Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

Gentlemen, take your KV-2s out today. Or your 34-85s. Or Cromwells, or whatever the gently caress. It's fish-in-the-barrel-o'clock

WG's newest great poo poo idea is to release yet another Tier VIII TD in a game which is already plagued with multiple problems at Tier VIII, with maps catering toward camping at the redline being one of them.

I might try and grind for it. Should give me plenty of time now that I am done with finals at school. If anything the rewards just for grinding are a plus.

Holy loving poo poo the winter campaign for the Soviet Skorpion should quality as literal abuse.

A bunch of utter bastards posted:

(Only experience for being among the top-10 players on your team by experience earned is counted; can be completed in Tier VI-X vehicles only.)

Stage 1: Earn a total of 3 000 base experience points.
Stage 2: Earn a total of 6 000 base experience points.
Stage 3: Earn a total of 9 000 base experience points.
Stage 4: Earn a total of 20 000 base experience points.
Stage 5: Earn a total of 30 000 base experience points.
Stage 6: Earn a total of 30 000 base experience points.
Stage 7: Earn a total of 30 000 base experience points.
Stage 8: Earn a total of 35 000 base experience points.
Stage 9: Earn a total of 40 000 base experience points.
Stage 10: Earn a total of 50 000 base experience points.

In 10 days. So that's 25300 BASE experience per day. There's also the tier 10 alternative but I still don't have any tier 10s so gently caress that, and gently caress this whole thing. Of course the tank is also for sale in packages and every stage you complete knocks 10% off the price, so sunk cost fallacy here we come!

Hey uh, did they nerf the T-55A at some point? Because they buffed it for some reason, when I already preferred the T-55A to the T-54, and also they nerfed the T-54's gun since I stopped playing...

No, they buffed the T54 so the T55 got power-creeped, then they buffed the latter.

I can probably guess the answer to this question, but the stages are gated by days like the Halloween event was, right? So once I get 3k xp on day 1 I may as well log off until the next day?

Edit: Apparently the stages aren't time locked this time, so as soon as you complete one stage you can move on to the next. It looks like you could complete them all in the same day if you can grind 253k exp in one day.

When you get so far up the ladder, the only way off is to keep going up, you can no longer jump off.

This was so loving dumb and put me off playing that event as soon as I found out. Unbelievably poo poo way to do an event.


McGavin posted:

But it's still a big poo poo sandwich in disguise because any excess progress from completing one stage doesn't carry over toward completing the next. Only 34xp to go? Double-tap R and go grab a snack because getting that special 1.2k base xp game now will only be counter-productive.

Based on my average exp per game of 650 and the average battle duration of 6 minutes, you are correct. 150k exp is probably close to the theoretical maximum you could hit per day.

That's...actually...surprising. Looking forward to seeing some try hard getting the tank for free this weekend. As for me, I'm sure I'll get to like 50% before I say gently caress it and hit the premium shop.

I also noticed that some of the stage rewards are directives. That's cool but I think I would rather have the bonds.

Does it work off base XP only or, as I assume, is it a massive incentive to buy XP boosters, which are currently on sale?

Just base xp, but if WGing really wanted money they should let the premium bonus xp count.

I think the Improved vents are the best. Improved optics adds an extra 2.5% spotting rang. In a brawling medium I would rather have the better traverse, dispersion, aim time, dpm, ect that you get from the vents.

I ran the T-54 with optics but I got all my assistance damage from tracking things, I'm switching to vents and the more accurate gun because even with 330 heat pen you still have to hit weak spots on the new tanks they keep putting out.

Khablam posted:

It goes by base xp so boosters and premium account wont help speed it up. They know you will buy those things anyway and they want you to buy the free tank too.

Improved Rammer is always going to be the best equipment you can buy for anything that doesn't load faster than it aims.
