how far are y'all?

 

bout 1/2 thru stage 6 here.

 

how is the grind?

 

im spamming tier 6 premiums with credit boosters and having fun.

[TankFullOfBourbon]

At stage 4. I will barely make stage 5 with my current progress. But with three kids and a demanding wife life just offer more things than hours of finish off this challenge.

[AdmiralCirno]

I'm just starting stage 4, and despite devoting all my time for it, I doubt I have the average results high enough to make enough XP to reasonably get the tank for free.

But, eh, what am I gonna do? Ideally, I'd enjoy making it to a stage that would make the tank cheap enough for me to want to buy it.

Coming up to 20 years of marriage in a month, she knows be better than I know myself. I spend an avarage of 30 minutes to 1 hour per weekday playing WOT, and about 3 hours per weekend day, there is no way I could hide it from her or the rest of my family - she would think I was having another woman .

 

Besides, I am set up in the kitchen so when I play everyone including the kids friends know when I am playing. My wife only gets really pissed off when I start cussing!

After she reads your forum activity, that impression will have been shattered forever ...

Not even trying to complete the missions I don,t seem to be wanting to play more than 10 games a day but I think I,am at level 3

[oldewolfe]

Half way thru Stage 3....     I don't get alot of Time but I do alot of RNG and Garbage Teams, especially this last x5 Weekend....

 

I've been running everything from Tier 5 to Tier 10 and have yet to find a Sweet Spot, even my Normally Good Tanks are getting hammered...     But I also knew going in I wasn't Playing for a Free Tank, I was Playing for a Discount....

 

At this Pace, I'll barely get the 40% let alone 50%, but that's where I'd like to at least get to.....      I can buy the Bundle Now, but I would prefer to also manage some Gold and maybe Time as well...     We'll see what the Weekend brings, we're only on the 5th Day, 9 more to go....

[Kevlar1972]

I'm mostly grinding my tier 9s for xp.  At stage 4 now.

I did find running tier 10s works on the latin american server.  No wait times.  But ping is so bad it's hard to meet the mission requirements.

[Wouldyoulookatthetime]

I'm in the same predicament as oldewolfe

except I don't play Italians (only Germans)

I'm going for the credits and equipment

Tier 5 doesn't count for the Italian Mission.  6 and Up.

 

Just starting Stage 6 this morning.  Did the On-Track, which required me to earn 250,000 XP to finish that, but also finished 5 stages of the Italian for 92,000 XP on the Italian.

Stopped a few hundred short of completing tier 4 yesterday. Did not want to activate the premium time then go to bed so I will start again later today.

[Knagar]

I just bought it, worth it though, it's a fantastic tank.

[Shrike58]

Just started Stage 4 yesterday...had been shooting for completion of Stage 7 as a reasonable goal but that might be a little too ambitious...time is tight and mediocrity is its own reward!

[Blackstone]

I'm about 5K XP into Stage V. My goal is to get at least 10K in XP every evening. I don't think I'll get the tank for free, but I'll get a substantial price cut. I think I'll get to Stage VIII when time runs out.

Premium bonus doesn't count toward the marathon totals.

reading the bit about a demanding wife made my skin crawl...LOL.. GL with that. Bottom line, that lasagna wont be on your menu list anytime soon.

Half way into stage 6.

Mostly tier 8 prems as I wanted to take advantage of prem time rewards. Happened to complete MT-14 at the same time for another 2 days of prem.

 

Also tier 6s sometimes for fun. If I get a good MM at tier 6 I can still make 800+ XP, so even tier 6 can work well.

 

Regarding wife, get her PS4 and games she likes. Also horrible weather and freezing rain, ice, etc. helps since you are stuck inside.

 

[_Gungrave_]

Almost done with stage 6 with 199k total XP left for the event.

 

Basically Stage 7/8 is the halfway mark
