Anyone got a screenshot of the tanks in each bundle ?

 

I think it's more or less every single premium for that nation, except Black tanks.

I could easily be wrong, but I don't recall seeing the IS-6 itself in the Soviet bundle.

My problem with spending money on WG is simple. I'm not sure, and WG proved that I was right, that what I buy will remain that what I paid for. This type of treatment to discredit the credibility of the WG. I've never had problems with spending money or having them. I've always had a problem when someone or something wanted to cheat me. I'm not saying that WG cheating, saying that over the past three years, many things have changed and the actual picture of marketing ethics WG has changed for the worse. These changes are small, barely noticeable, but it will always have an impact on the real image of the game and the players. I do not like it, and thus stops me before I investing in WoT.

WG are not afraid to show their greed.

I can think of a billion better things to waste 500 dollars on than a single video game.

Where do you see that so I can see that WG finally went full retard.

In-game store. Soviet Mega bundle 65k gold for 24 tanks, Germany Mega bundle 62k gold for 24 tanks.

That's a decent size chunck of cash to be spending on one game. I'm not foolish enough to spend that kinda cash anyway. If I'm gonna make a purchase like that it will be on a new console or to improve my pc, besides that there's the misses to worry about as well. 

 

IF I spent that kinda cash on tanks, I'd be a single guy faster than I can blink.... Lol

I don't get this comment how is it greed reducing the tanks cost by 40%? it would be greed not doing this?

OK thanks, I'll log in and check since I didn't see any mention in the news here, nor showing in the store from my PC.

I cant understand a new player that would spend that much in one go, i've spent more than the cost of these two bundles over my time playing WoT but i couldn't bring myself to spend that in one go.

 

Yeah, it's more than i've spent in one go. I knew when this game hit PS4 that i was going to be playing it a tonne so i would class the Soviet mega bundle a worthy investment.

I don't understand the duplicates in the soviet, they could of dropped the price by around 10,000 without them.

Damn I wish rent was that cheap, that wouldn't even cover renting just one single occupancy room in or around London for a month haha

[vampyrii]

If I had just downloaded the game OR wanted to re-roll, 550 Euros would be OK to have all the premiums from Russia and Germany. WoT already cost me much more buying premium one by one. (I had to buy both "founder" bundles to get the T-127 for example).

[Doctor_Who_22]

It's a GREAT deal if you have the $$ (and are willing to spend it) - at 40% off every premium tank in a particular nation.... can't beat that pricing.   I picked up the German mega bundle back during the Tankbowl and that was, without doubt, the single best purchase I have made in WOT. And with gold refunds given for tanks already owned, it makes getting these types of bundles a 'no-brainer' if you're interested.

except its not, because refunds work AFTER the fact - so you still have to buy $300 worth of Gold just to even buy the bundle in the first place!

(and then you're stuck with $200+ worth of gold laying around after)

I wish it was available when I started too. Knowing that I'd still be playing three years later, it would have been a good investment.

I wouldn't say that you were "stuck" with it. There's always premium time to buy as well as new premiums that are offered later. It's basically just money in the bank. You'd never have to buy gold again. Something new comes out and you want it, it's a no-brainier to just click "buy" and it comes out of your reserve.
And for the guys with "significant others", you just buy this one huge lot of gold and suffer the fallout that one time. After that, you can buy what you want and it'll never show up on your credit card bill and the wife will never know you bought a shiny new toy.

... because the prices are still absurd even at 40% off, to just unlock some tanks in a video game.

There's nothing I can say to change your mind if you think this is a deal and not blatant free to play greed, so I'll just move on.

You are right, but we already have accepted that in WoT a single virtual premium tank costs as much as a whole new game.

[ralfybaby62]

It's a good deal if you want the special snowflake tanks. But I would never have bought, and would never recommend buying, such a large and expensive bundle for a new player as such player may not be even into the game that much anymore after a few months.

And that's the bit that's fine. It's a free to play game, this is literally the business model.

And of course, the Mega bundles are a "good deal" compared to buying all the tanks individually - but who buys all the tanks individually, except over a year or more?

 

Getting kicked in the shins is a "better deal" than getting kicked in the nuts.

I'd rather not be kicked in the first place.

(this metaphor is in no way insinuating or suggesting that I'm somehow "forced" or badgered by WG into buying these packages)
