I think it was called "Project R" Where you earned Pearl's to open case's that eventually lead to earning a "Kamikaze R" That was so much fun... I have been waiting... and... waiting for another event like that again. WG any chance we will see something similar anytime soon???

Not the same as the pearls but the end result is the same. it's not even funny, the current event is a hot garbage if you compare it to the original project r a) this event it's nearly impossible to get the ship because it needs a tremendous amount of grind, more than to reach rank 1 in ranked, while project r gave away the ship for completing rather easy weekly missions b) even if you get the ship it will be your only reward, while project r gave away a ton of other rewards on top of giving you the ship c) project r sold the ship to those who didn't have time to complete the tasks but wanted the event ship regardless, there is a high chance that wg won't do it this time because they said they wouldn't sell kamikaze again (they can sell coins to circumvent it, but will they?) d) kamikaze was a new ship when she was given away during project r, right now she is one of the most common premiums and most of the active players own a copy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes The "war of the elements" bit is sort of like it, just way less fun, way more grindy and pretty much, as it is, impossible unless you are super hardcore 24/7 grinding or one of the top 100 players during the 3 weeks.

424 Valas1 Members 871 posts 9,489 battles Report post #16 Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) Project R was a far better event. Wholeheartedly agree with that. It was actually doable by your average players who had lives outside the game. Already have mine from that event, so just playing as normal. If I earn something, that's just a bonus I guess. Camo is kind of tacky looking on it I think, even though the bonuses are nice. Edited April 19, 2017 by Valas1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

45 [000] RCN_1966FireHorse Members 358 posts 12,141 battles Report post #23 Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) I still say "Project R" was a much better event all round in. lt was easy to understand and you had choices in rewards with the Pearls you "Earned". Anyways I hope they (WG) can create another event layed out like Project R was. Yes they have the Clash event but it does not even shine as a candle in comparison to it. I am sure if they check the numbers that participated in Project R compared to Clash they will see the difference... if not well.... It is up to them Edited April 20, 2017 by NorthBayite Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
