    Yeah I hate it. Because having been a gambling addicted who has been straight and narrow for 5 yrs I can’t support WG on this so I am taking this season off I can’t support gambling especially since it’s promoting gambling to players who may not have the addiction now but it entices them and in can have adverse repercussions. It sucks because this will be the only season I miss. But I can’t support this season

    This awful Winterfest was the icing on the cake of chaos that has been surrounding this game over the last two and half months, and it's VERY troubling.
    The Nightstalker. The re-worked and pretty much mega-buffed Grom (which NEVER needed to be touched). The Wiesel Mk. 1. The Vigilante. And now, the removal of our standard Warchests (which were perfectly fine) and the addition of predatory lootboxes from PC, plus a stupid new currency (snowballs) that take FOREVER to grind. And now we're starting to have premium tanks completely locked behind lootboxes with pretty much no guaranteed ways of getting them.
    All of this absolutely SCREAMS the opening stages of a possible "end-game" plan by the Devs, as they may be preparing to shut this game down for good. I mean, WHY would they go the "predatory" route with Winterfest all of a sudden, especially for the holidays? Could they be testing a more exploitative and unfair format for Seasons down the road?
    This Winterfest event/Season was CLEARLY aimed at the mindless noobs and window-licking whales, NOT the game's dedicated players.
    I have a really bad feeling we're witnessing the beginning of the end of WoT Console (I mean, let's face it, the beginning of the end started with Mercenaries and Update 6.0) but I've seen other multiplayer games suddenly change gears and go all predatory on its playerbase before eventually going under completely a short time later.
    I am very, VERY worried. This is going to be the first Christmas season in nearly a decade that I will not be playing this game. I don't know if I'll even play again, as the Vigilante and this shockingly exploitative Winterfest event were the final straw for me.
    What a shame.

      I agree its awful, but it doesn't signal the end of the game to me. Why would they make a bunch of money and then go, "yea just stop making more." This is just greed taking over at a level I was not expecting with no guaranteed way at getting the new tank, pure gambling was not what I was expecting at all

      @@BleachFan2007 PCs version has guarantees. This is different and much worse than PCs. Go back and watch the video and then compare to PCs. They don't have a warchest within a warchest that has no guarantee. All of their new tanks are available with a guaranteed number of warchests. Ours you could buy 500 warchests and still not get the new tank. There is a BIG difference. I expected ours to be like PCs but ours is much worse.

      @JustaCone WOTB has this thing called 'Snow globes' where you had to spend gold to get a 0000.1 percent chance of getting a tank.
      (Keep in mind I stopped playing WOTB two years ago, so I don't exactly remember 100%. But I'd be happy if someone corrected me.)
      But I wouldn't be surprised if they're still doing it.
      IMO, WOTB had (probably still has) the worst monetization.

    • @JustaCone
      @JustaCone  5 วันที่ผ่านมา

      were there new tanks locked behind these snow globes? Without direct purchase? If they were just odds at random tanks that were and are already available then it isn't the same as we're doing here.
      We're locking a new tank behind a warchest within a warhcest without direct purchase and no guarantee after a certain number of chests at all. Its pure gambling for the new tank.

    So I wanted the KPZ 07 as you probably all can guess. I was so determined to get it I spent hundreds of pounds and what I got was literally everything else and premium tanks I already had which I only received silver for not gold because they have changed that. I was lead into spending this amount of money thinking I could get what I wanted, if I could reverse time and restart the day I would of never spent a penny, these chests are a scam. I advise anyone else do not buy into these learn from my mistake.

    i'm with you 100% - the same shit WG has been doing in PC version is coming to console. there is no way i'd ever get sucked into this loot-box nonsense. edit - did you notice that tasty-"worm" they put on the hook to get people to buy these boxes? that "possible" box which holds 100,000 gold???? you have a better chance of winning the lottery AND being struck by lightning than getting a box with 100 grand of gold.

  • @Zapranoth-lf8nt

    So, last year World of Warships on console introduced what we called “Russian Nesting Dolls” Santa Crates…levels 1-5…you could only get a Level 4 from a Level 3…and only a Level 5 from a 3 or 4. The higher the level, the greater chance of getting a premium ship, but the ships WERE at least the same in levels 4 and 5. And all those ships were not new…The NEW content was Legendary Tier US battleship Ohio…which was available for the event currency. If you completed the season campaign, and all the daily missions, you got enough currency to buy the Ohio, as long as you bought a 10 pack of Level 3 crates, which came with the currency. So you could NOT get the ship for free, BUT you weren’t reduced to random chance, either…you could play the game, buy something, and get the ship. It was a reasonable amount, too. I think a 10 crates pack was $20. The previous year, the reward ship was available only after buying like $100…so it seemed this past year WG was moving in the right direction…
    At least, on Warships for console…

    About the point of affording it. I bought some Commander chests years back and have most of those 2D ones, I don't need more. I ONLY play WW2, so I already have all the WW2 tanks. My first epic drop from the Yule chests will be the Wiesel that I am avoiding because I won't play it. To get to the new tier 10 I will have to go through all the bloat in Yule chests when I have hundreds of commanders, thousands of boosts. Then I have to get through Silver chest drops, with even more Cold War tanks from my exclusion list, to get a chance at Mystic chests which have even more CW tanks I am avoiding, just to get the 1 WW2 tank i want, but can't get any other way.
    It is beyond awful. But I bet they will give it away or include the tier 10 in a season pass next year just to rub salt in the wound. I went there for the Fatherland RNG medal farce and I hate that tank because of it. I'm not going through it again. Give me a simple way to the WW2 tanks I want. I suppose I could have saved the hundreds of millions of silver on Cyber Monday if I had known that the only tanks i didn't have would be autdropped for free the week after.

    It's just so sad to witness all of it.
    I never ever have spent any money on the game nor will I ever.
    As a free-to-play player it's baffling me how anyone can.
    I know I'll probably offend someone with saying that, but it's nuts to me how one would spend money on it.
    The game itself today is so insufferably outdated, no new graphics, no new sounds, no new maps (new is the key word), Cold War playing on too small maps, etc., that it's almost ridiculous imagining we play this on so much more powerful hardware PS5 and Xbox Series X are and get shitty gambling mechanics back.
    As adults, they should be ashamed.

    I know how you guys feel, I’ve spent $100 on both of those War Chests and I got lucky with those new tank drops. 5th Yule got the Obj. 283 and on the 10th Silver got the T54D, the rest of my Gold was spent on the two new Commanders. Now I just need to grind out the Snowballs to get the ELC ATGM and I’m done spending a single cent on this game other than Premium Time and Crew Skill Swap and Camo. I almost got all Prem Tanks other than some Collab ones from Hot Wheels and GI Joe and that’s it. I hope they’ll change their tune when they’ll do the TMNT Collab soon or they’ll loose more players other than their Whales.

    Hey cone,
    I actually got hands on the KPz.
    If you use the 3d skin, it totally changes the armour layout of the tank. The horns are actual armour and you lose the shovel for compensation. Even if you equip the 3d skin on one seasonal layout, it still changes on other seasons as well it seems...
    Now i would say it is a good tank but I also spent around 90 bucks getting it so don't know, you can make up your mind if its worth or not. But speaking in facts; the 3d skin is overpowered and seals off the cupola or other weakspots on the turret. Which means; you are getting two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TANKS 😂

    • @JustaCone
      @JustaCone  4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      does it really change the armor model?... are you certain. Could you send proof of this to me someone like discord or something?
      And 90 bucks is damn lucky, good for you, its def not worth it though because other players could spend $500 and still not get the tank, that will never be worth it, since its not guaranteed.

    I personally have put a lot of money into this game but stopped after the 6.0 flop. Ive been free to play ever since and play frequently enough to get a pretty good amount of gold from seasons and chests. This is 100% gambling but since ive not put money into this game in 4 years (and will continue to not do so) i don't really mind, ill probably buy as many chests as I can (saving 2k for the next season) and see how I do. I do appreciate how you can get a free chest everyday for playing a single game though.

    I stand by my claim that this gambling is more predatory and manipulative than GACHA GAMES. Arknights. A gacha game that i play has a pity system that raises the odds of pulling a 6 star operator after 50 pulls guaranteeing a pull on the 99th pull. Standard banners have a huge pool of 6 stars but its a 50/50 if you can get the featured operator or not. And because its the open pool they can be pulled from ANY future banner.
    Limited banners have a 6 star only available on limited banners. Same rules apply BUT there is a 120 pull limit on some before getting the limited (for super rare crossover limiteds like R6 siege that may never come back.) OR you obtain a currency token every pull and can use those to outright BUY the opererator if unlucky. (300 pulls/tokens) May i remind you this is a MOBILE GACHA GAME. So yeah wargaming are worse.

      Two things, your luck is not everyone else's luck, there is no guarantee to get the tank with a guaranteed system. We are talking about the new KPZ 07P(E) btw. If you got it eight times I imagine you have spent thousands of dollars worth of gold to get a tank 8 times in a loot pool of 30 tanks that's only available to even pull from after getting the chest in the first place from lucky non guaranteed pulls in the yule and silver.
      I heavily doubt you got the tank eight times and even if you did it definitely came at a price or extreme luck. In which case it doesn't make this acceptable in any way. Your disposable income or luck does not represent the norm or experience everyone else will have. I've already heard bad stories about hundreds of chests opened, with little to no mystic pulls and then non new tanks from those mystics. That's the normal experience. Making shit up is not.
