So it’s score and not base XP?

@302778
two question, the WA at end of name=Western Australia? or something else :slight_smile:

how did you get such a low number 302778 when you joined in 2022 :stuck_out_tongue:

WA = State of Washington in US.

Regarding number, I assume it’s from when I started enlisted late 2021 or perhaps from me playing 3 minutes of Warthunder a few years ago. I joined the forums many months after playing enlisted I believe.

To the topic at hand, isn’t the score under the star base XP? Why is it so confusing :rofl: ?

Bit late to add a post to this but:

  • In general, cool event.

  • Some pretty cool rewards, I don’t care if the squads/mortars are “bad in-game”, because the stuff is COOL, so we’ll always see some people using them in battles. :slight_smile:

  • Don’t know why people are so hung up on the fact Germans don’t have a mortar equivalent to the M2. It’s literally just a mortar. And I can also point to many previous events where one side gets something and the other side doesn’t. It would only matter if the thing they were giving out was ridiculously OP, which none of these are.

  • Being forced to play everyday is a bit of a problem though. I know that’s the whole business model and it makes sense, but it is very annoying knowing if I was a F2P player and knowing I had something to do one evening during this event that I couldn’t get the gold order at the end, and as a result I just wouldn’t care about the event to begin with.

  • In my opinion, give us some leeway and give us 1-2 days we can miss and still get the best reward at the end. 1-2 days isn’t much to give players and much for you guys to “concede” to us, but it would go a long way. Especially with the whole psychology effects, such as where people may know they will miss 3 days but will still go for it as it’s closeby and buy with gold the last one.

  • Or, alternatively, give the gold order slightly earlier in the tree where one of the other rewards are, and replace the reward at the end with appearance orders or a number of silver orders, i.e. something cool/useful to have, but not essential, and I’m sure people would be more willing to grind for it/buy gold to get them after knowing they can get the best stuff already.

  • I DON’T think 15k battle score is much of a problem though. I achieved it in 2 battles today (got something like 9,000 in the first, 7,000 in the second). Now yes, people who can do this are likely in the minority (and often those that post on these forums will tend to be those who CAN do it this quickly), but for the general public it probably takes 5 or 6 battles, which is a lot of time investment everyday. 10k might have been better, as in the last event.

The every day aspect is a non-starter for me. I guess I could spend money and log in every day to spend it (maybe), but I have too much going on and don’t care that much. If I could grind a few days worth at a time I’d be in for it but every day is a no-go.

3 kids. A career to manage. Not every day is game time.

I like the event but think the every day thing should be reconsidered in the future.

Silly suggestion

Maybe in future, they could break into 1/4 and do a part every W/E over the month, would buy them more time to work on stuffs, just idea.

Better enjoy those AT rifle squads while you can before the new progression system arrives with no new details how to address early, mid and late war campaigns such as the lack of a checkbox on which campaign one want to play like choosing a server.

You think people do not need to work? You think they have time to play game every day?

While it is within my possibilities to reach the 15k goal in a reasonable amount of matches, that implies me being veteran enough in the game to know which are the best campaigns, tools and tactics to get the job done; and even then I will be “playing the event” instead of “playing the game”.

The previous iteration of this event format was so much more player friendly. Now, although “technically” still doable, it already goes down the dark path of requiring full commitment by the players EVERYDAY, the War Thunder way.

Even more so since the gold order for perfect completion is not really a vanity trophy, but rather one of the main prizes.

This is how you turn a straightforward and enjoyable event into a stressful one, much more likely to generate burnout.

Edit: also consider that this has been talked about like an event format that’s going to be permanently running, with a new iteration every month. Do you think most players will like the concept of “be forced to play X amount of time daily, or else miss out on cool stuff”?

No, most won’t.

You have fair points.

One of this event each month with multiple reward and in 1y the cool stuff are out

Not necessarily. I can imagine in the future dismissed golden weapons making a comeback as event rewards, or even older trophy squads and weapons periodically reappearing.

Moreover, should Enlisted breach into the Gaijin marketplace and event rewards become tradable coupons, everything will be more or less valuable.

Just no words. 15 000 for non premium player is just grindfest. At this point, it is not a game - but part time job. Besal/Chi-Ha-Kai event was tolerable - 10 000 was far more doable in reasonable time, and you could skip 1/3 of days and still earn all interesting stuff. Now in order to get 1 gold card I am forced to play 3-4 hours EACH DAY for 18 DAYS!, to get all squad I am kindly allowed to skip 4 days…

No difference between premium and free players. It doesn’t count XP, but the score on the final scoreboard of the match.

Honestly i wish it would count xp as progression for this event. So i could finish it in single match and then focus on dailies. But then it would screw over f2p players so it’s bad at same time.

Not really. If you count xp as progression it will actually be more than your score most of the time because you have battle hero and x1.5 multiplier for winning.

Good point you also have battle hero multiplier up to 1.5x more xp, so in theory even losing while playing well would net you more than in current system

Ok but why do we get 3 mortars if a mortar squad can only have 2 mortarmen. It says its for Normandy allies, so I’m assuming it can not be transfered to Tunisia or Pacific (Otherwise why would you not just say for Normandy, Tunisia, and Pacific).
