what would you like to see in next event?
for me i would like:

  • multiple days where you can finish one task (no more 1 day limit to finish one task)
  • simultaneous task finish (so no prerequisites for tasks in task chain) or compounded multiple day score (so instead of 15k score for 1 day, they could make 45k for 3 day, or 100k for 7 days)
  • gold weapon/vehicle order at the end

edit:

  • automatic reward collection

Best model was during christmas imo, you had to do a lot of battlepoints, but you could do it in last 2 days if you tryharded enough, this gives players time to finish whenever they want.

That’s still a grind for the average player.
Average player gets like 2000-2500 in a 20 minute battle.
That’s turns out to 4-5 hours over 2 days. Most people do not play that much

Exactly!

The primary objective of an event is not to give the players free stuffs, but rather to increase and retain the number of active players. It is the reason to why the events are live back to back. Players would have to login everyday and play a couple of hours due to FOMO.

Last time it was 10k per day, they probably looked at the data they gathered and decided more people need to stay online longer as it is now 15k per day. There are pros and cons to this, the pro being more players are online for longer reducing the mount of bots in games overall, the con is that you have to commit to the game everyday if you what the free stuffs that are actually good.

During this ‘perfect’ event I tried playing for fun and not for rewards and see if I unlock something.

I haven’t unlocked anything so far. My fun ends at about 10-12k XP.

More than just 10 soldier customization orders.

People are not going to stick with a game if the grind is too much.

There’s a reason the game’s population is dwindling
Monetizing a grind does not work anymore, it has been proven time and time again

I agree that the 15k per day is too much as people have other commitment irl.

Two words “War Thunder” some people have played that game of several years and they haven’t unlocked everything, yet people still play it.

Says who?

11

Says the unbalanced matches and not even being able to find 20 people for a single match

12

World of Tanks
War Thunder

Those are the only options for a tank shooter, of course they’re going to have larger playerbases

I agree with you. What I would like to add to that is that I would like the task to be completed automatically once I have earned the stipulated points.
I have many friends who have completed tasks but have not completed them because they forgot to open the event tab and click the “Receive Reward” button.
I don’t understand why I have to click this button every day if I don’t get a reward every day.

That’s not the only reason, the players are addicted. There are multiple categories of spenders in a F2P game, and designers design their game to maximize profit in those categories by making the players.

Here is a video about F2P monetization if you’re interested Let’s go whaling.
A lot of the design is implemented in WT and a lot other F2P. It is design to make players spend and retain them. This is just a response to your comment of “Monetizing a grind does not work anymore, it has been proven time and time again”.

Name 10 popular games other than War Thunder that lock its gameplay content behind a large grind

Not to mention

This is a video about mobile games, not PC games.

Mobile games have always been about catering to whales

Games like
Fortnite
Apex Legends
Valorant
League of Legends
Dead By Daylight
CSGO
GTA5
WoW

The list goes on

All these games don’t monetize the shit out of a giant grind. And they’re still popular and retain players.

Okay believe what you want. Monetization of F2P games are more about behavioral psychology than the specific platform it is on. Again back to my original point slow progress does not guarantee players quitting the game will offer some sort of progress booster (Premium account, full access pass, sound familiar?).

So you’re just going to ignore

Yes, you’re a waste of my time.

Uh huh, I don’t have to comply to your demands, get over yourself. I linked a video that I find interesting hoping for an interesting conversation, but for some reason you assume that was an invitation for a debate. I don’t come to a gaming forum for a lengthy uninteresting debate. So yes, you are a waste of time.
