Waited 13 days for a test drive?
For the past 13 days, i have been doing daily rewards in hope to nail something big. On the 13th day i get the battle huge trophy.

I click to open, and my eyes gaze on at the countless free planes and 250,000+ credit jackpots.

Then my selector comes to a stop on a 59 minute premium vehicle
test drive with the Boomerang MK 1 and 4x backups.. that will still cost me 1150 Golden's to buy afterward.

The thing is, it expires 59 minutes after i received the reward. It is not like I can use it later.

Seriously!?!? Gaijin is so money hungry they substituted and rigged loot boxes in order to give your worthless plug ins for overpriced planes.

Don’t give me 250,000 credits to put towards something useful or anything. Could take too much time off the mindless grind.

Please don’t start furiously commenting about how i’m trying to get free stuff and that i should be happy to get free stuff. I’d rather get 5,000 a day from lookboxes then wait 13 days of hype to get let down by a crappy, rigged system.

People rant on and on about how this game isn’t pay to win and how Gajin is just trying to make money.

But they fail to ignore the massive and extensive grind starting at Tier 3, incredibly expensive tanks and repair bills, and they give you half or your research points in a way that you need to pay real money to use (convertible RP).

Its funny how all the good reviews are often from new players with at most a couple hundred hours. From their it is bad reviews from the small amount of people who stuck around to realize how much time they have wasted grinding.

I have gotten mostly test drives of I-153P, Sherman Calliope and the German rocketlauncher Panzerwerfer 42..Once some silver lions. But that´s it. Smells like rigged when all you get are the same damn "prizes"..

Exactly. As a consumer, i loose trust in companies that pull this crap.

I'm on day 850+ of the daily login, I've not once had the 1 million lions roll etc.....don't EVER expect to get anything good from it. All you can hope for imo is the easy wagers, boosters and vehicle backups etc.

What did you expect? It's Gaijin. In two years of playing this game I never got anything useful in huge boxes, only test drives and battle wagers.

i get mostly the wagers or the orders, and if i get a booster and i used it, i die in less than a minute by a round fired across the map and then spawn killed the other two tanks. So i pretty much don't care about getting any boosters because i never benefit from them. I did get a test drive one time, and didn't realize that it was for 60 minutes from the time you activated it so i only got to play one round because i had to leave.

I got a 1,000,000 SL once and the premium bottom tier tank in the French line. That it of note. It's only good for the SL/RP points.

Basically just test drives and wagers I get.

this wasn't always like this, i remember when the gold boxes only contained GE wagers, 1 million silver, or rarely premium plane/tank, there was no crappy test drives.

hell i could be in peace with the test drives also, if they are last for 24 hour...

The daily "rewards" are pre-determined before you even open them, don't bother looking at the wheel and expecting something good. Just X out of them as soon as they pop up.

Only the battle rewards are worthwhile as they drop talismans and discount coupons.

Yes.

No need to bump a thread from years ago. Please refrain from it in the future.
