Previously unlocked decals are now locked?

[🌺 bales]

Hello,

ummm... some of my decals are now locked again??

For example, the "Hundred" decal under USSR is locked when I unlocked this ages ago.
Also, it's forever stuck on "Players defeated: 0/50" and I can't grind for it again?

you didn't unlock them, they used to be free, now we all have to grind them.

which is a pain.

least last time it took into account how many you had already killed but this time that is ignored.

https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/500317-old-decal-requirements-change-is-disappointing/

answers there from a mod on the why it was changed.

we might not like it but they have just put requirements on them, new people are not even going to notice.

you can also find the original update where it says the change is going to happen,
I personally didn't read this bit so also missed the change until it happened.

some people will get upset at anything, not sure why some still play the game if they really think what they type on the forums, so much hate yet they still play........v.odd people.

do you play air battles in russian planes ?

i haven't been testing it but i would not be surprised if plane kills in ground forces battles do not count towards the achievements.

are you sure that wasn't the medals ?! i can remember three times (including this one) when previously free decals got unlock requirements added to them and everytime the count started from 0 - none of the previously achieved kills / amount of battles etc counted.

afaik this also applies to free vehicle skins (though i didn't really looked into this closely) - only when the requirements for the medals got changed players who had unlocked them already kept them.

Yes some decals that people had unlocked before got locked, so Gaijin can make some more money again.

how ? just playing the game does not get Gaijin any money...

does it mater what they did it to,
I only remember when they changed the requirements for skins, woke up the next day, played one game, got lots.

the point is they changed the requirements and included what we had already done,
this time they have changed the requirements and ignored what we have already done.

I don't care about the change.

you can play the game or pay 200ge to replace a decal you already had, or
more to the point already done the requirements for it already but they were not counted as they were not required back then.

forcing you to grind/play the game as you put it or pay the 200ge that you seem to have forgotten about.

Nothing a new player needs to worry about but strange you can't see why people are annoyed.

Could have been solved by including what we had already done like they did last time there was this sort of change.

by your logic they could change the tech tree requirements,
ignore our rp already gained,
we all lose our tanks and planes but it is ok as you can get them back by playing the game.

well yea, bunch of pin up were locked and with a real money price tag on them. Same with nation flags, those used to be free... man WT was also used to be fun back in the day too, feel old.

The more grind there is, the more likely players will spend real cash to somehow skip it.

When in reality it only drives more players away.

Yeah, this game is good enough to have over triple the playerbase if it wasnt for things like too steep grind. Among a few other things that really is quite easy to fix. Like... "updates" like this. Giving it a bad rep.

Better game, better rep, more players, & players who are having a great time = more money...maybe a bit late now but whatever, still no other game like this to compete with it that i know so..they should polidh this title up.


But quality of life is first. If im happy, more so from not playing than logging on playing, id rather do other things instead.


Whos running out of stuff to research anyway, look, 1700+ vehicles. Noone got time to even try those all out properly 😁Maybe a handful of players? 1 in a million.

even if the research requirements were cut by 75% from rank iv and up.

(They should really do that on rank vi, max 99k rp/vehicle.)

Gaijin might actually be the scummiest gaming company around. Why not let those people simply keep the skins if they already unlocked them in tiresome grind? Oh the moneyz lost.

As if it wouldn't be evil enough to release new skins that completely ignore the kill progress you made so far. You actively have to take things away again from people they unlocked.
