the mad men, they actually did it! they sold access to top tier ground forces to new xbox players after witnessing the 15% win rates for PC players in the xm1!
god bles the balls of them :) cant wait to grind out my leopard with these seals running wild :)
It's more the Leopards are OP than anything else.
Exclusive vehicles (M5A1 listed as exclusive but it isn’t), exclusive titles (Sea Robber title and Steel general title, I’d pay for those). All the exclusives for X-box means excluding everyone else who have supported the game. RIP collectors
"All the exclusives for X-box means excluding everyone else who have supported the game." Congratulations, you literally just explained what "exclusives" means.
stop feeling so entitled and just accept reality
Can someone explain why we should create a new account on Xbox and spend all that time and money to grind everything again?And why do I need to pay for 2 premiums? It's a long time since I've reached lvl.100 and researched most of the vehicles I wanted to. I've spent many years to do so. My PC is getting old and when I've heard about WT coming to Xbox, I've purchased X1X to replace my PC when WT launches on Xbox. Sure Microsoft would let to share those accounts so that's totally Gajin's decision
You can play cross platform on Xbox - PC, however you cannot transfer accounts as Xbox players will be required to play with their Xbox account.
I agree, I might've come over to Xbox since it runs a little better than my PC and my friends are on it but its not worth it if I have to make a new account after using the PC one for 5+ years of grinding. I knew Sony had restrictions on that stuff but I'm pretty sure Microsoft would allow shared accounts if Gajin worked with them on it. Guess its both Companies loss there.
Should allow the rare American vehicles in a one day bundle for Independence Day for PC and PS4 so collectors at least have a chance if they really want them. Since they're all American vehicles, it would make sense.
As an American collector, I hope this happens....
HOw dare you, this was my idea back when they announced those tanks! Copyright strike! jk. :)
What a joke. A F2P game you have to pay to access. Good job /s
Please read the news again, the game will be entirely free-to-play. This is simply early access before the main launch just like Crossouts Xbox launch.
Just about all F2P games do this on early release. Its normal .
over the past 3 years i've spent some where near $3000 on up-grades an prim-content,now im told i cant bring any of it with me.This just aint right..
Then continue to play on PC, what's the problem.
gromvoiny, Pc's are outdated almost as soon as you buy or build it, keeping upto date costs a lot. If account & progress were transferable, I'd have been very likely to upgrade to Xbox one X much sooner than I will, having to keep my PC going!.
wow so we will get even more nations?
???
Huuh i don't think we're reading the same news.
why does xbox get 3 exclusives while ps4 got some useless tier 1 US plane ?
tbh, why does ANYONE get exclusives that stupid in the first place
Incorrect, among other premiums, PS4 players have access to buy the A-26C-45DT
Any plans to allow linking xbox and Pc accounts in the future?
I really hope there will be possibility to link xbox acc to email. It is possible with PS4, so.. I really wish this feature.
martinskupa, Should be fine, my Xbox acc is linked to my Hotmail account, which is linked to my PC gaijin, steam & even my EA access acc's, it's just plain wrong to not link long standing players account's.
Seriously I’ve been waiting for this since it came out on PlayStation I’ve just gotten to the jets on PC and now if I want to play on Xbox I have to not only pay a little extra to play now But I have to start again That’s a massive kick in the balls Dick move gaijin Dick Move
Agreed! Pay a little for limited opportunity to transfer, for existing players, would be a compromise!
