[CAIN] Jethro_Grey Players 5,207 posts 25,733 battles Report post #1 Posted August 21, 2020 So, the summer sale is upon us, and WG, being very generous, gave us a small mission chain to aquire 15 tokens. Which you can use to to buy, either a Santas Big Gift container, Lunar New Year crate, Halloween crate, each for 12 tokens, or a standard gift container or summer camos for 1 Token. Best part is, you can complete this mission chain in all game modes. Sadly, WG being WG, they added one scumbag requirement: earn 12 achievements. Any plans to complete the mission chain at a chilled pace in coop within the given 6 days goes out of the window. You will need to fork out coin if you want to get any of the actually valueable rewards Atlanta camo (65 Tokens!!!), Premium mship container (from 65 tokens for a TV up to 180 tokens for a TVIII container). While the premium shop gives you the option to buy 50Tokens for ~9€ (apparantly it's a daily offer), you might wanna be careful and check, if it's not cheaper to buy the desired ship directly intead of buying gambling boxes, paying more and most likely not even getting what you want in the first place. Anyways, just another "give us more money" event by WG, who, and i have to congratulate them on that, really took the message of "The Art of the Deal" to their rotten hearts, and like the author of that book, realized that the best kind of deal is the one where one party gets screwed hard. And it ain't WG. Anyways, i'm off to Steam to check what kinda deals they have. 36 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One troll or dumbo can ruin an operation beyond repair, which is not true in coop - where your chances to reap rewards even increase for every speciul player on your team. 6 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure, but that's why you don't play operations with random amcthamking. There is an operations-chat. In Narai, you easiely can get 3 achievements per run, even 4 is possible. You can do the matth yourself on how long it will take you to do this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[PEZ] Yedwy Players 11,301 posts 39,586 battles Report post #21 Posted August 21, 2020 Actually the sale part of this event is a travesty, ONLY two things that IMHO actually make sense as option are either 1) get some free tokens IF and ONLY IF you are buying something you would have bought anyhow (even if the "sale" wasnt happening) OR 2) go in full gamble, buy few tokens and toss for a lootbox and see what drops for few quid... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
