They mostly last to the Tuesday of the week, updates go live on EU on Thursday. For WG 24th is not some special day, their Christmas is on 7th of January.

Just don't buy any crates till monday.

I wasn't lucky I just had them all 3 before. Makarov from twitch drop long time ago California from armoury by dubloon coupon Orkan - Well I'm Polish guy, not having it is like "what's wrong with you" thing. So I just bought it the day it was available.

Go back to 2016-19 Santa crate openings. Most of the ships are coming from SC. This was like that from the early days. The issue here is WG needed to say it " Santa's Big Gift supercontainer" . The shortlists were always there, but there was a chance to get a ship not related at all to it, idk what the % was but I think it was like 50%. Now it's 100% and I agree with you.

Try play like that with FB "telling the truth they don't like" to end up with weeks of ban. Companies these days don't care about clear truth but what they like or dislike and emotions. But yeah this is offtop.

Well he said (originally) anything else but those in shortlist. Maybe he didn't finish the sentence or the cat poured the coffee on the keyboard.

0.9.12 will be live on EU probably right in Christmas day (24th) and with that the snowflake event.

Heh I wonder what this time SubOctavian will tell the community.... Or maybe some WG staff will be handled the responsibility like iEarl last year.

The evidence of the rigged is clear to everyone, no need to explain it more to WG just what we have on YT from flamu and others who opened. But claiming that nobody received anything else is just plain lie. The facts are on the table, let's not get into another matrix.

People there are spamming so much they got crazy But yeah the louder the voices are the better. This f-up is almost as outraging as PR last year.

But he said this : Which is not true.

California is not bad, at least for me, I'm having 90k+ average dmg on her after 30 something battles. She has pretty consistent guns but low caliber so you need to switch to HE fast - Halsey is needed. Her biggest downside is slow speed. Makarov is way more meh. Unless you enjoyed the Nurnberg.

Seems you don't read all posts in the thread. I did. But I'm not the typical wows player. Although you used the term "No one" which is not true. Also there are plenty vids on YT of openings. Yes, some recieved those AND other ships - but they did buy a lot of crates. Still you should not use "no one" term in such situations.

In fact this santa crate thing is now good for the "whales", collectors and older players with lots of premiums. So this time WG screwed it's new/newer players or those who don't spend much. Sometimes they do the opposite screwing the older playerbase / those who pay much. Seems like they can't do it other way.

They fixed it partially. It can still drop like that but instead of getting duplicate ship - you get another one in SC. Why? Cause if you were getting the Tirpitz 5 times - look how much dubloons compensation it was. A lot. Because of that 2 years ago I got 42k dubs compensation + the regular dubloon drops. I could buy just from techtree 3 T8 ships by that and still have some leftover. Lol.

They're streaming the Verizon thing.

They said they'll look up into this on Monday. We need to wait.

If you don't remember the past Santa events - sometimes it could stuck with only one ship dropping 4-5 times after it was dropped (those Okhotniks). That's why you could get 5 Orkans but instead you get a SC with other ship. Although in the past it was more random cause sometimes you were getting the "shortlist ship" but also it was taking from other options. Now it's more rigged but still can work like that what I stated before. One of my friends didn't have any of those 3 in shortlist, got the Orkan and then every other ship was SC not from the shortlist. Maybe this is the only "randomness" now. Let's wait for Monday as they said on stream chat to clear out the issue.

I got all other ships (by money, previous Santa events, SC, WoWs anniversary, coal etc) so I missed only one ship from the list which was Neustrashimy. And I got 67k coal (good that this time no premium days ) . So if you're not in such position like I am - don't buy those crates. They also said now on stream they're going to look into it on Monday. So don't buy anything till Monday to be cleared out. Seems like last year WG made a f-up with Puerto Rico. They couldn't resist this year not to do it again - this time with Santa crates.

Don't ever buy the small ones, in next update we'll have snowflake event and those small ones will be for T10 snowflake drop. I own 46 T10s so 46 small crates. Just buy the medium ones tbh.

Which is very bad tactic on longer term effect.

Partially yes. But from T8+ they can stay (T8+9, T9+10) cause they won't end up so heavily up tiered like T7+8.

You live in Belgium?

Some premiums also get buffs even long after release. Like Kii got 10km torps instead of 6km and got some more armour here and there near the cit, and Indianapolis got 10km radar instead of 8.5km, Błyskawica reload from 6.5 sec to 6 sec, Ashitaka got better AP shells that are similar to Nagato ones.

Now on 0.9.11 Khaba and Harugumo also received the help they needed for so long time - no BB AP pens.
