that I already own the 3 tanks. As long as the missions leading up
to it have good rewards I wont say it's completely useless. I am
all games for other ways to earn boosters and blueprints. I would
say though next time add a new tank that hasn't been sold in with
them I don't need anymore gold or credits anyways, that's what
Christmas boxes are for.DomoSapien: I understand the sentiment. I'll elaborate a bit below, but I
anticipate that there will be more options in the future that
aren't just limited to tier VI Premiums.

DomoSapien: There will be different portions of the code hidden in geocaches
across the continental US. GPS coordinates will be revealed in a
series of videos and premium tank bundles containing hidden morse
code. Once all the geocaches are located, you'll need to solve a
series of increasingly-difficult calculus equations to reveal the
code. Afterwards you'll be able to access Tank Rewards. It's as
simple as that! :>

your points 4-5-6 7-8 9-10 Ironically meaning some
people are de facto locked out of the top tier of rewards.
Evil! I aprove!.DomoSapien: There are a bunch of folks who are much smarter than me working on
our analytics teams and there is some thought process that goes
into how events are designed; with that in mind, my extremely basic
understanding of it is that players who get involved with the
community in and outside of the game (and players who make it to
higher tiers tend to end up getting involved in the community)
stick around longer and play more sessions. We want people to play
our game and be part of the community, because ultimately more
players means more people for all of us to shoot at and enjoy
shooting at stuff with and obviously buy stuff because we're a
business and businesses like making money so they can keep making
cool games for people to enjoy.

for the cromwell B to 0 vs 690,000 vs 3.45k gold? I truly
want to understand this matter.DomoSapien: Well I was referring more generally to the prizing design (and
mission difficulty/complexity) being pretty modest, since some kind
of major technical failure would leave players with a lot more at
stake if the prizing was ridiculous. Not that I have the knowledge
to say that the prizing will at any point actually
be ridiculous, but I know there are quite a few folks who
remember certain aspects of Tankrewards quite fondly (again, like
Tank Hollow, the ability to choose the RNG route and roll the dice
on a super slight chance to win an E25 or something similar, etc.)
and knowing the people I work with, I'm cautiously optimistic that
we'll be doing our best to capture the original spirit of the
project.

It makes no sense not to at least give FULL price silver
comp. for anyone that already has the reward tanks. Its not
like it costs you Anything!!!! Its just cheap and a slap in the
face to loyal players. Anyone that has these ( that's a LOT of
players) have to pay 30 gold to get Half price refund After
completing the mission!!! Really poor taste WG DomoSapien:
Like I said, I'm not really sure I would even call it a silver lining, but as someone who knows firsthand what it's like being a student and playing 800+ battles in a premium tank you won through missions because you have to choose between Premium Time or not eating Ramen for dinner... I do think it's important to keep folks informed and help them grind as efficiently as possible. In this case, half the price in Credits is better than none. Not making excuses for the event design, I understand your feedback, and it's definitely going to be discussed.
