Why would holidays make the battle pass season longer?
The devs are on holiday. That means when the battlepass ends, no-one is around to kick off another.
Everybody deserves a holiday at some point.
Wait no way, your saying, the devs kicked this burning shitheap into the works with next to no warning for the playerbase, and took their scheduled holidays right after???
I dont know if they knew what they were doing here, or are just genuinely so naĆÆve they somehow thought this was going to go by without any issues?
Iād harp on here but Iām sure you all know my opinions at this point, 1Iāll save us all the hassle.

This is not a legitimate excuse. They have everything ready for next season already. They could of easily just allowed it to roll over properly.
No more
Right to choose
Gold for F2P
Or BP vehicles for F2P
Improvement is making something better then what it is not by segregating a part of the playerbase from what they where already getting

Yes it is.
Such a fan boy!
Long time player, first time commenter!
This new BP change is so bad, it got me to actually check out the Enlisted forums (and play two battles because I apparently havenāt played in over two weeks)! Props for that!
Changing the BP to make it shorter isnāt actually that bad of a change, as it proverbially cuts a lot of the fat and makes the BPs a bit more condensed with good/more desirable rewards, scratches the itch of making progression through the BP. Plus, I LOVE all of the customization orders weāre getting now.
You know what I definitely donāt agree with, aside from the fact that this shit was dropped on us at such short notice? Getting rid of gold vehicle, soldier, and most importantly weapon orders to give us additional weapons, vehicles, and soldiers that we may, or may not want is insane behavior, bordering on malicious - and even self-destructive, as what was once a difficult task (keeping everyone happy) will become borderline impossible as people will start to feel pissy about their desired nation not getting a BP weapon, or unique soldier, or unique vehicle. Player choice is of the utmost importance in games, and what this effectively does is remove our choice and leave us at the mercy of the developers (who do a lot of heavy lifting to destroy goodwill with the community). The old system, which did have its faults (namely not rewarding a sufficient amount of gold orders) wasnāt worthy of being thrown out like this.
How about instead of taking player choice and throwing it in the trash, you give us four gold weapon orders, two gold soldier orders, and two gold vehicle orders and let us choose where to invest our time, and resources? With the current system, as a Japanese main - I am forced to wait until you drop the third season (2nd Season, 2025) to get my greasy mitts on a BP weapon for my preferred faction; and itās not even for a BR I regularly play, so thatās SUPER. You know what I didnāt have to worry about with the old system? Waiting for content for my faction because I could, at my own behest, on my OWN time, buy whatever I wanted for gold weapon orders.
Also, Jeez - just give the F2Ps their damn 100 gold back. Itās a paltry sum, but itās ridiculous that weāre sacrificing player goodwill forā¦ well what it appears to be, at first glance, greed.
Plus, saying once the shop is killed off - these weapons will come back has an awfully ominous air to it (especially following the Veteranās Boxes); and to be frank, if this is the new format of the BP going forward; Iām pretty much done playing. This was an unwarranted, unsolicited, and undesirable change; but itās not too late to walk it back.

This new BP season I want the I-185M-82, the USSR flamer II and 4 x winchester.
So I give 900 gold, do simple tasks and get all that nice stuff plus 1000 gold.
Thatās a no brainer.
If in the next season, there is nothing I want, I will simply not get it.
Easy as that.

This is one my biggest fears about the removal of the Gold Order shop, that aaaaall those GO weapons and vehicles will just be thrown out to the next veteran box and the chances to get anything specific you want get even more miniscule at the end

For me thatās not the main problem, I donāt mind the shorter BP periods either, my issue is the removal of the Gold Orders and Gold Order shop, say for example I donāt want the Pavesi SVT that was on the previous Battlepass, very simple! I donāt use my Gold Order on it and donāt get it! Instead I get a nice Gold Order to spend it on the BSA Thompson or the Yazikov SMG or I can just wait for the next BP and use it on whatever gets my interest, Gaijin/DF donāt really lose and neither do I when I get to choice whatever I want.
With the Gold Order shop it literally brings a solution to players not interested in the new rewards and gives them a reason to give them money to play for the battlepass regardless because they will have an entire list of other available options to spend their Gold Orders on something they are actually interested in, this is literally a downgrade even for them and not just the player base losing fredoom of choice unless they plan to throw the GO weapons and vehicles on the next veteran box or every so often in very few events in order to squeeze more money via FOMO

Also if for some reason this planned removal of Gold Orders and itās shop is because some players were hoarding Gold Orders it doesnāt make any sense when Iām and others are instead drowning on callsign change orders given by the truck load from the veteranās box and they are rarely only use to give tank crews their specific role as callsign other than that they are pretty useless, the hoarding argument doesnāt stand well when the game can give lots of other things you donāt want or ever use lol

Dude, yes. I have so many useless-ass callsign orders. I literally never use them, and am sitting on piles upon piles of them. I typically have between 0 - 2 gold weapon orders. Yāknow why? ā¦because they used to not give them out enough for the BPs.

Thats also true, people have rose tinted glasses on when looking at the old system. But there were better options. They could have just given more instead of taking away choice for instance.
Its like they solved 90% of the problems with the previous BP, and than did a fuck up for the Gold Order system. If they just reversed that decision everyone would be quite positive I think.

Yep. The old system was flawed, most of the BP changes ARE positive. The BP was too long, the rewards were too diluted with random garbage. But instead of just shortening the BP down to 30 levels, giving you 35 days, and then giving you four gold weapon orders, the soldier orders, etc. - they do this silly nonsense of making it so weāre beholden to the mercy of the developers to ensure we get the content we want. I seriously hope they walk that back, I really do - but I completely doubt it.

Thatās the most delusional opinion here.
Yep. Because then he starts complaining about the major change this BP has brought up.
This literally stay the same.
Instead of getting 1(x4) new weapon for each faction per 90 days, we are now getting 1(x4) new weapon for ONLY one faction per 30 days.
So in fact, we are going to get less stuff. Especially if theyāre going to keep postponing each BP by 2 two week like they usually did.
Whatās different is that those weapons became cheaper. Thatās literally the only bonus this BP brought up. You will always get all 4 new BP weapons just for paying 900 golds that you can then grind back. The only positive change.
But thatās simply not good enough tradeoff for loss of golden orders.

The benifit of having shorter bpās is that your able to do buy one in a bussy month, and then skip one in a month in which your not going to play the game. In the old system you would miss the last gold order and some gold currency because you would not finish it in time. I think thats the benifit of having it be shorter.
But I completly agree that the extentions will probably be anoying as fuck. So dumb that they made the first one be 50 days ācuz holidayā. The next one would also be during a holiday, thats how time works Gaijin jezoes.
Yes, but in the old system you could buy items from past BPās with gold/premium currency.
You didnāt have to rely on participating in BP at all. There was no FOMO. Those past BP items stayed in store for quite a long time for you to buy.
But now you are literally forced to participate in BP. And if you donāt manage to do some of them, you canāt buy those items that were included retrospectively.
You can only pray that you get lucky with lootboxes or an event that reuses those items as event rewards.
Thatās such a negative change nothing can really outweigh it.

Yes I agree.
But as I see it, its not really the time decrease that is the problem, but the removal of the gold order system.
Because your right, stupid fomo sytem is unwanted. Its so unwanted
