What about the tanks? When are you ever going to do something with stuff like Death Star and Foch 155?

I know people who sold 5 Tier X tanks that are out of meta just to buy the FOCH...

 

Personally I sold like 15 tanks that I had 0 battles on (and at some point wanted to play) or bad tanks I had grinded (no need to play them ever).

 

But don't you think 25Million was a bit ... EXCESSIVE for a Tier 10, considering a regular tier 10 costs 6,1Million...

 

Also I have no idea why anyone would buy a T34B (especially one that cost 8 million per piece? lol), but the community bought 40k of them.. 40K

 

lol

 

Edit: Oh yeah, finally something where the time was perfect for Eastern Europeans. I remember having to stay up late at nights for CW's. Waking up at 7:00 - daily life. Ez first buys.

 

A regular T10 costs around 6 million, but the cost of all tanks in a line to get to the T10 is around 15 million.  Basically you are paying a 10 million premium to avoid having to grind an entire line of tanks, which doesn't sound bad tbh.

 

Great for ftp players to spend their hard earned silver on, but I do wonder how many games the player with the fewest number of games has, that has purchased silver, and gone and bought the FV215 183 or the Foch 155.

 

Zero perhaps?

Great idea, unfortunately I had the possibility to be present at one release only.

This is no event for people that work and have other commitments in life, too bad as I would have loved to get a Pz. V/IV.

Please WG bring this event back in the future !! 

this was the best thing that ever happen since slice bread !! 

 

I bought like 35000 gold and spent it on my Deathstar and would do it again for other tanks but not in the same month as it was a big dent in my wallet :trollface:

Black market was a great feature.

Makes tons of money for wargaming is my bet.

 

Especially if they reopen the black market in a few months and people 

are low on funds.

You know WG, you could just let players have their own black market. Let's say someone has a rare tank like PzB2, but doesn't want to play it. He can put it on a player black market for let's say 4k gold (his own made up price). Someone might buy it, someone might not. Also selling free exp / bonds / reserves. Make this game an 'open market'TM simulator. :hiding: :trollface:

 

I second this ! 

Similar to what World of warcraft have... 

 

Like an Auction house where you can put your tank up for bid for GOLD ($$$$)

Fun event, wasn`t this excited for a long time :D. I even took a laptop to my job so i can access the 7 PM sale :P

Regarding the tanks, there were some novelties in the lower tiers but that wasn`t for me. As for the Tier X`s...i would have had to sell my entire garage to get one or the other and this wasn`t an option. Particularly since i`m an on/off player and don`t spend too much time in the game.

I was really excited for the Black part of the sale, when i saw T34 B and heard IS-6 B might be the next. I didn`t buy the T34 since i only have 10M credits and wanted the IS-6....T34 is awful, horrendous DPM, mobility...only good thing is penetration and turret armor.

But alas, heartbreak...IS-6 was gold as opposed to the T34 credits :(. I`m guessing T34 is weak enough that nobody would have payed gold to buy it in the sale. However IS-6 with it`s wonderful armor, ok gun and premium matchmaking was too good to offer for credits....why WG, why!!!

 

Hope there will be another such sale later down the line...perhaps then :)

It was a good addition to the game though the timing could have been more convenient.

5am was a pain' now I realise that for some it was worse there was a spread I believe of 4am to 7am depending on the country you live in.

But why do that is it so important that someone from one time zone desn't leak the details.

 

There is never going to be a good time for people working and people work different hours, before I retired I would have been out of the house at 7 and back home again around 6-30.

I could probably make the 6am time but not the evening one.

If I were still working I would be hoping a future such event was during work hours  trying to do it all using a phone or tablet so the timing didn't matter too much

So... people sell a bunch of 'out-of-meta' tanks in order to buy a tier X 'rare' 'out-of-meta' tank?
cool beans.

Good event even though I hadn't worked out where I could buy stuff till after 2 days, lol!

 

Damn would have loved an SU76i or one of those blinged up '59s

 

I do agree a trading section would be good, perhaps 10% for wg to make it viable?! 

 

Happy Tanking all
