[SINT] Jvd2000 Players 1,639 posts 31,167 battles Report post #8 Posted September 17, 2020 While I appreciate a nice first win bonus ( it used to be something special in the old days) since it is not extra work, I feel a bit overwhelmed by the current KOTS missions, the dockyard, remaining snowflakes, the new campaign ( which I can ignore since you can take your time)....I really prefer ONE good planned and executed event once in a while instead of this ungoing continued barrage of semi events and bonus missions. Some very well hidden until you random find a participate button.. The last event that I really enjoyed was the mission that took some time ( but not real intensive on the grind) that rewarded a random T6 ( ok helped that I got a rather well appreciated drop from it). A nice event with even a lowly premium T2-5 would be fine too. And during these events ( And in between!) just give us a weekend with 100% first win bonus or a small mission for some camo’s... It might give us less goodies but has the benefit that during the “ low ops” moments you can just start that random/ co-op without thinking about doing trick x or y but focus on doing the best to win. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Estaca_de_Bares Players 1,534 posts 25,837 battles Report post #21 Posted September 17, 2020 Now that I'm almost done with regrinding Cleveland in asymmetric battles, in a quite similar way I did the first grind (Cherry Blossom), this comes up. Well, Seattle is next, so I should both save and earn a bit more FXP on my way back to Worcester thanks to the bonus. Salute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[MUMMY] rage1750 Players 824 posts 11,400 battles Report post #22 Posted September 17, 2020 I dont really like the idea of giving WG any more money at the moment with the CVs being in CB. I guess the idea of closing my wallet appeals more than spending a coupon; it may also feel nice to be the one giving the middle finger as opposed to the one receiving it. As always WG, I will take into account your coupons and will closely monitor your actions. Based on the results of any WG actions I will decide upon future of my wallet status. Your feedback is very important to us etc etc etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leo "Apollo11" It depends on which way they started/had their first match from 17th Sept. or later. When you played 3000 battles before the 17th Sept 2015, took a long vacation and played your next game 2nd Jan 2016, you will have your 5th anniversary on 2nd Jan 2021.
