I would really like the premium wheeled for frontlines, but not for 10k lol. Maybe if the bidding started at 3k I would put in a bid for 6.5k max to feel like I was getting a deal. They are just taking the piss now.

I'd be stunned if the sale price was anything under 15k gold. There are many many people who want this but don't want to pay actual cash, but will pay holiday box gold for it. 15k might even be too low.

Reading about this Black Market on PC (I play on console) I'm amazed that people were averaging over 50k gold for one re-skinned tank, WoT really does have the most lucrative whales. Console is having its own hosed up event at the moment too - all premiums were advertised as being 50% off in-game for the 6 year console anniversary but were actually only giving people 30% off in reality. That's going to be a fun one for the support team to unpick.

The whole point of the BM is to hoover up gold from the Christmas box whales, it's absolutely not to give anyone a good deal.

last night it was just a straight up reskinned obj261. the description literally mocked you for spending gold on bushes and rubber mats lol it seems like the idea is to monetize that thing where the people who have deleted tanks get to keep them. delete the good tanks and then use them to milk the whales lol

A few hours of clowning around in a platoon and that's ~50k total progress combined on the T-44 and BC-12t (reserves and x5 missions go some way to making this happen) because I don't want to be caught out like some sort of slow-witted idiot (like I was when the Foch 155 was swapped-out) once the T-62A and AMX 30 series finally end up shitcanned as """special""" vehicles in 2025 or whenever the gently caress these changes get booted onto the live server. I won't play 'em, but I want them sitting in my garage to collect virtual dust anyway. I'm most definitely spending my time wisely in this loving game!

You've got it the other way around, and don't get me started on the VK3001H; it used to be an awesome tier 6 MT, then they poo poo all over it. Sparq posted:I really liked the little historical touches at the lower tiers, it's a shame to see so many little shitboxes withdrawn from the Tech Tree even if they will be buyable later. I dislike the withdrawal of the T-26 the most, such a massively produced and used tank should not be sidelined. I was thinking about it some more, and it's definitely a good idea for them to remove the one-off low tiers that just seem to be thrown in (like in Italy and the extra tier 2 in France, or the 3 tier 4 German TDs, or the two pairs of low-tier SPGs,) or the one-off class-bridging vehicles (like the KV-13 and two of the HTs in the middle of the tree that precede it, and do we really need the KV-2 to be thrown in just to lead to the S51 just to get into the SPG branch from the side?) I'd actually be OK with them leaving multiple low-tier stems, though, to give new players an actual choice down a single branch, especially at those lower tiers that don't need much of a time commitment anyway. The extra low tiers in Japan and France are unnecessary, but are fine and generally playable, just like the Firefly stem. The low-tiers in the German tree in particular are kind of fine, especially since they're mostly historical, but the tanks look cluttered because of how they're arranged; they'd be fine if they were more like the Soviet tree, with more direct paths down a branch and especially with less side/diagonal paths crossing into different branches. Also, the Christie tanks could be added as a fun stem because they were all going to be low-tier anyway.

I think my favorite part of this game is frontlines. I wish it was always available. It just seems more engaging. This will be my first shot at clan wars. I expect it’s going to be a dumpster fire. Just happy to finally start seeing my stats in the green and blue.

Atomizer posted:You've got it the other way around, and don't get me started on the VK3001H; it used to be an awesome tier 6 MT, then they poo poo all over it.  The sandbox "New Balance" test has swapped their roles for whatever reason. Other changes include the T54E1 becoming a HT (which makes sense?), and the Crusader being reverted to a LT (good!) but also being uptiered (loving stupid, because a 6-pdr is no good at Tier VI). As for moving so many low-tiers over to a "special" section for separate purchase, I understand that it was getting incredibly cluttered in some trees but they've really over-simplified it now. One really lovely thing though is how anything from Tier VI onward which has been removed from the main tree is gong to be some sort of semi-premium/reward vehicle. Call me a cynic but this has the unmistakable stench of what's sadly become a standard practice; just look at this greedy loving horseshit:  All that time spent getting experience for modules on former tech-tree tanks at Tier VI is now undone by removing said modules (leaving them in "ToP cOnFiG", despite nobody with two brain cells to rub together considering the second turret and 76mm M1A2 anywhere close to "top config" on the Sherman Jumbo), throwing a load of points worth the value of those modules at the tank, then locking said points behind the usual conversion bullshit. Just to get their point across, these vehicles apparently have listed gold values now too! https://i.imgur.com/HuwNoRq.mp4 That's not ripe for easy monetisation at all!

Same but at the same time, I grinded through all of the BR ranks in one single day when it came out, so hopefully when that does drop you can just burn through it quickly. I hope the xp in frontlines to rank up has been adjusted to not be such a pain in the dick. I also hope the modes last longer than a loving week at a time.

BIG HEADLINE posted:"Subject to change." Russian heavy tanks are probably the best I play with, but I have a soft spot for the French mediums. And at a quick glance, that looks like a medium wheeled tank. I could be wrong, but if it is that, it will be a loving wild tank. Just to reiterate again, the T54E1 becoming a heavy is both amazing and terrifying. That tank can loving DUMP damage, now imagine that with shells that can actually pen and more HP.

Wasn't it a Heavy when it first came out as well? Also the T-10 I hated when I first got it, but now have like 3 Mastery Ace Tanker badges in the drat thing and a few 4000+ dmg games because for some reason it is a fantastic tank when you drive it like a bigger medium. If the 777 is anything close to it I will want it very much.

OMGVBFLOL posted:im loving mad about tankes  frontlines being reduced down to a couple months instead of what was last year was some sad news indeed. I don't think I was really doing steel hunter because I was grinding tanks to get to tier 9/10 or something. Speaking of grinding tanks I have been playing solo in my EBR 90 and it is an enjoyable experience. Learned today the EBR's wheels can deflect shots and not damage the tank itself; played a game where I was zig zagging away after six sense popped and a Foch hit my rear tire four times and not damaged my tank. Made an audible surprised tone on discord and felt silly not knowing about that. I love being that annoying fly that bypass enemy tanks with terrible turret speed and go straight to arty blasting them with HE shells, get 4k spotting, then bursting into flames as I pissed off the hornet's nest. But thats ok because now that all eyes were on me my team mates stopped sniffing glue and pushes forward. It's great.
