I'm not sure which one is more impressive. The fact that Bull decided to waste a whole bunch of money on buying that extra 30k stars that he doesn't need to get the 1st place. Or he decided to spend that much money just to get a cosmetic that properly most people are not going to notice in battle.

Well, now we know why they decided to nerf the crit rate of Vulcan. It's exactly for the preparation of these disgusting copied and pasted "Apply X status effect on crit" augments. Also, I'm not sure if Devs are "Vulcan-racist" or what. How does everyone at least have some OP augments except Vulcan? And when Vulcan finally gets a "proper" status effect augment (just forget about Incendiary Band which is absolute trash), it's in the exotic tier instead of legendary like everyone else.

Interesting, I was expecting to see quite a few players using the new Vulcan augment, especially when Vulcan is one of the few turrets that never gets any OP augments before. But so far, I see none. What's going on?

That being said. The most important thing of running a F2P model is to maintain the ratio between paying customers and non-paying customers. The company earns nothing if no one is paying obviously. Yet, at the same time the existence of the F2P players is to make the buyers feel their purchase(s) worth it while not making the F2P players feel like they are part of the product (even though they are). I would say the Devs did a horrible job for the last part so far. I mean this v-log is a very good example of that. I'm not sure who wrote the script, but the reasoning is beyond stupid. Like I get you want to make more profit and that 60% refund is nothing but an incentive, but can't you make a better excuse to cover that up at least?

I love this quote so much.

I blame the stupidity of some of us here for this. It is a simple game of supply and demand. Clearly, there are demands for these stupid augments even with the non-sensible price tag. Or this plan won't work. Remember that dude who spent 3k Euro just to get a drone cosmetic? And if I were the Devs, I would do the same. It doesn't matter whether a product make sense as soon as there are dumb customers buying it

Yeah. Just close this

I'm 100% sure it will not be a battle pass reward in the near future

Well, guess my only bet is the damn loot boxes then, if the Devs do decided to add it

I'm actually quite confused. Because the rule says I won't get the award if I don't earn 50 stars in the corresponding round, which is already passed. But then we have an expensive offer that allows people to join the event in the middle. So the question is can I still get Jammer Band if I join at this moment?

Is that mean if I've not participated in the event at all, it will be too late to get the augment even if I join the event and managed to get 50 stars now?

Ah, I see. And I bet they will eventually.

https://en.tankiwiki.com/Augments#Augments_for_Vulcan So I noticed there is suddenly a Jamming Band added in the wiki for Vulcan. When is this a thing? And is it no longer available?

So, let me get this straight. To "simplify the game", the Devs decided to Remove some features and refund 60% of what they cost to the customers Turn the same features into "new features" and resell them for god knows how much rubles they cost this time And this is all for the sake of the customer experience yeah? I have to say. This is properly the craziest business plan I've heard for a very, very long time. But yeah, as soon as there are people buying it, that will work, right?

I will still use Paladin over Crusader, simple because Crusader's ULT is an absolute garbage. It doesn't matter how good the damage is if you can't hit anything

Honestly, I would rather have Paladin's ULT to apply AOE healing only, while have its recharge speed a bit faster. After so many patches with the wiki being outdated so constantly, I can't even remember what the OD supposed to do besides healing.

Honestly, it shouldn't really be in the game in the first place. Homing missiles that rain from the sky, ignoring 90% of covers Really? There is no way to balance it properly.

Welcome to the world of mods. where they thought they are the authority.

TO in a nutshell: Imagine it is CS:Go but the Devs decided to add grande launcher and homing missle launcher as primary weapons And most important thing is, they are super proud of it

Except BOSS, who just spent $3k on Crisis XT awhile ago. I could already imagine his frustration of not being able to flex his exclusive drone

If you know a little about marketing, then it should be clear to you that why some games decided to do so while some don't feel the need of doing that. A little tip, your reaction is a very good demonstration of one of the advantages of doing so

Let me guess, it's the tank coins, right? Gonna increase them so that BOSS will spend even more next time when you guys release another super dupper awesome exclusive item

I know this sound stupid, but this is a feature, not a bug. I know, I know. It doesn't take genius to figure out why this is a bad thing, but that's what the Dev decided to do

No, you are wrong. Actually, they will make even more OP augments, but in a much slower pace. Now, instead of putting those in loot boxes and launch a new wave of ultra weekend, they will launch a new event and make the augment the top price just like what we have now with Crisis XT. And you bet there will be more folks (I really want to use the most accurate nouns to address these folks but then the censorship team will just wipe my post so I guess I will stick to the generic term) spending 3k euro just to get that only to find out a new, even more OP augment is introduced a month later. Now they get less work to do, but more profit

Just think about how many 3A games we can buy with 3k euro, even when they are in full price. And then proceed to think about how we can make use of that 3k in anything else besides something vague like video games. Just anything. Any sensible person will not spend 3k on a Crisis skin.
