You can buy sets of tokens only. Each day you are limited to buy a bundle of 10 or 50 tokens (for around 2 / 9 euro a bundle) This "offering "is available in the non-steam wow surroundings but not with the Steam played wows version...

I am at a steam account (inside the game!) and i can buy for money the doubloons etc with some small token bonusses. But there is no option, by either doubloon or money to buy tokens directly in the 50 / 10 amounts...

Acheivements are rather unreliable to farm...and then 12 of them... for 2 tokens...Doable absolutely (and problably in scenarios as well but getting 2 on avarege is already good) but effort vs reward..

@YabbaCoeseems the purchase of 50 / 10 tokens directly is not possible in Steam? Can you confirm that this is as planned?

The benefit of gambling is hardly better the outright buying a ship directly... Those random T5/T6/T7/T8 boxes (while cheaper then the direct buy T3's) are almost as expensive as directly buying your ship. With the large chance that you dont get the ship you want but a stinker you always avoided.. And dont forget that normaly you can buy your ship with a nice discount as well. fe using your 25% coupon... And regarding those free tokens when buying something like doubloons or time.. Normaly there is often a small discount on those as well. not now..you get your fantastic 5-8 tokens...

@Crysantos telling us that you can do the missions in coop but putting achievement requirements into the mix that cannot be completed in coop is not cool...

12 achievements can be done in random yes. Not the most easy type off farmable mission goal but stil ( think requirement effort vs reward is out of proportion) but emphasizing by wg that this can be also done exclusively in coop and then putting achievements in the mix is not ok.

Well I don’t think wows requires you to get those 12 missions in one game, although after PR dockyard event... But achievements cannot be done in coop. Scenarios maybe ( also pve) but not efficient. But 12 achievements is a steep requirement for a mission that gives in total 15 tokens when the advertised main prize like the Atlanta camo is 65 and König A or vampire is 75... Easy mission WG said...Get your Vampire or K Albert WG said....well FU WG...

Well you can conveniently buy the Atlanta (with 38 bonus tokens) or buy tokens directly (10 and 50 a day) but imo it makes it even more disgusting. Seems that bonus tokens with premium time and doubloons are Asia only and too good to be awarded to EU plebs...

Looking at the Asia version of WOWS.....You need 75 tokens for either Konig A or Vampire or 65 for Atlanta camo...You get 15 tokens for doing the missions... so do the math... So if you are wallet closed what does these 15 tokens buy me? one use tropical camo is 1 token a piece... or you can gamble with 12 tokens for one big Santa crate... To get additional tokens you have to buy stuff... since token drops are low even with purchased items... you need to buy a lot... Edit: looking at missions: forget the coop route, 1 achievements are impossible at mission 4 so you are stuck at 6 tokens... you can do the scenario route but its not the best scenario this week.. Yes do PvP but atleast dont promise you can do it in co op WG! So summed up: WG: easy mission to get 15 tokens and get your Konig Albert or vampire... Me: easy mission my [edited]and even then the massive reward is 1/5 of the required tokens to get a T3

I am waiting for the Swedish language. Could be even Swedish chef. The Dutch got their language with only one Premium, the Polish idem.. But back to topic, another voice option could be useful to differ between normal and “ weeb voices” but the what to do with fe the 40k voices and the soon to come transformers..And special voiced captains like Jingles and his Russian counterpart. Or the hockey star?

I wonder how the “ old” Moskwa compares with these 2 ships..

With 1,5 to 2% chance you need to have near max number om T10 and thus being eligible for many SC. Naturally still all rng but with near 50 sc ( max nr of T10 currently available?) you should have a good shot to end up with atleast one premium. With my 11-14 potential SC I know my chances...but atleast it will be a high tier unless I get Kamikaze ( or clone).

But these are event camo’s. Hawkins has one too. I think only New York has a camo that can be bought for doubloons in game for a regular silver ship.

I am already thinking on which ship I will put my free upcoming permanent T9 anniversary camo on. ( not sure if we get one or even 2 in total). Enjoyed the permanent Christmas T8 camo’s during PR event and also the free US & Fra cruisers space camo’s before that. Quite a lot of my ships have free perm camo’s now and with the option to make the fantasy camo look like regular is just perfect.. For sure 50 or 100% xp bonuses are small vs the multi 100%+ bonuses some one-time-use camo’s give but it really saves money.. Bad side affect..I stopped buying high tier perm camo’s. Have 4 Tier 9 paid perm camo’s and 0 T10’s ( have the free HSF Yamato) which after Moskwa seems the way to go.

Steel stopped being the competitive currency after WG made steel available through other means then ranked. Before steel you had to collect pirate flags to buy your Flint, Black etc..Only several times ranking the highest level of ranked earned you enough tokens towards these special reward ships.. Not ranked out? No special ship ever. Competitive players do still have an edge though as do players in a competitive clan. Although much of this advantage ( privileged access to certain ships) have gone out with the availability of Flint, Black and Neus for coal soon...But still those players have 3/4 steel ships while I have just got one...one I got because WG made steel available for plebs... Not that I did not put labor in it, but that’s quantity of effort. RB is not competitive. Not like steel used to be. It was never advertised as such. It’s for Veteran players ( 5 lines researched) that have the time to grind. Having access to flags, camo’s and silver eases up the grind. And being skilled eases the grindtime too Coal is like a reward from WG for being a loyal player...

Well the upcoming “ snowflake” event will give a lot of special flags if you are a veteran with a lot of T8 and T9 ships. Each T8 gives 5 flags, a T9 10. For me it will mean around 500 extra flags. Some are mediocre ( credits bonus will not help you with the regrinds xp) some will boost your progress directly ( xp) or indirectly ( FXP).

I think you can acquire a bit more coal a day. If you play the full 3 crates and the full 6 dailies you are minimum guaranteed 3 x 400 ( from crates) and 2x 200 from daily rewards. That makes 1600 indeed. But on average the crates drop a bit more. You can get between 0 and 2400 coal extra if all 3 crates drop 1200. Receiving the max is unlikely but I think on average you can count on around 800 extra coal. Then there is the clan coal bonus with the 5% bonus is quite oil cheap ( and the 7% is not that hard either) to buy from clan oil. So on average 2500 coal a day would be feasible. 75k coal a month? If needed you could even convert that daily 40 steel into 400 coal... So 3,5 months for Thunderer or Yoshino. Salem even easier. And currently WG is putting in coal rewards in events like candy.. not the greatest amounts but 10k every few months is easy to get. Big bummer is that the coal income from snowflakes seems to be axed. First snowflake event gave, next to steel, a generous amount of coal.

Regarding captains with 10 skill points... you can get some at the scenarios. Yes you need a T6/T7 to join these games and a semi competent team to get that 5 th star but it’s nice to receive a 10 point captain to equip a new line or when you want to progress on a line but want to keep your current ship with captain and want to have the new higher tier ship start with that free 10 point captain. In adition you can check older collections. Some give a free special captain as final reward ( Dunkirk uk and the French special one) Those crates can be bought by coal to start the collection.

Well after 2,5 / 3 years of snowflakes, occasional steel rewarding events and last 3 months dailies I just have enough steel to buy either Stalingrad / Bourgogne ( with coupon) So it can be done... And can be done in the future too with less/ no snowflakes but more dailies. I simply hate ranked to much after the first 2 star saved tiers.. Slow, yes. But then I will not complain about slowness nor claim I am entitled to receive massive steel. Without serious ranked and no clanbattles steel is a slow pace. Atleast dailies give me a steady if not pitiful steel quantity which is an improvement on depending on events or SC drops..

Steel is no more available then rb. You can get both 1200 steel and 1200 rb from a monthly daily grind. Although getting 1200 steel requires more effort. 1200 steel buys a bit more ship though.. Boosting directives during Odin gave steel, now it will give rb... Steel for snowflakes is something from the past as well...And after the clan bonus for coal and steel we now have the same for rb. Think Steel and RB are quite limited in availability with the advantage for rb is that you can influence the amazing by just grinding harder ( which if you use the flags wil amount to extra FXP which enable you to get those rb points even faster) In the end i thing both steel and coal are limited in availability. Yes you can grind up to an amount but you can only get 3 daily coal crates or do your 6 daily missions or rank1 during ranked season.. rb can be grinded in a unlimited way... And as for the best ships..Well I have no problem of facing Slava, Ohio, or Bourgogne or any steel/ rb ship in my Thunderer or JB. I don’t think there is quality difference between coal, steel or rb ships.. all sources have good but also meh ships... So I think WG will maintain the four ways of grinding yourself freemiums ( don’t forget the FXP ships) since it will encourage us to play more in different ways..Only change is that steel used to be the “ elite” currency which is now also available for the “ plebs” first due to snowflakes and now by daily missions. Although earning your steel ship with dailies only is a long run... RB is a bit more veteran privilege since you had to unlock 5 T10 lines..That is until now since with the new dockyard you can buy your way into rb research..

Maybe WG rewards the players that have either played a lot or paid a lot ( for a wide collection of premiums) . Older players would have an edge over newer players. Due to better collection of ships but also due to better skilled captains.. See it as encouragement for the newer players..

I agree with you, this would make me sad too even with T6 and T8 premiums in port.. The requirements of the missions are identical but some shiptypes are just way more equipped to achieve these in a acceptable time. But see it positive. You only miss 7 containers that set you back 14 collection items.. they can be recovered in daily crates afterwards..you don’t miss out on something that really not easy replaceable.

WG is moving more and more to a more diverse setup of mission requirements. I thinks this is fun. Either a requirements of nationality or class or even both. Benefits the players that play all nations and leveled a lot off lines. Then regarding players that have a more limited port. Well best case you are missing a more easier grind. Worst case: you are stuck. But that’s not new. We had a lot of missions that requires fe secondary hits.. If you miss out on a suitable high tier German, French or a certain group of US premiums you are in for a long grind.. Upcoming campaign ( the 5 epochs) requires you to play missions witch certain ships within certain tier intervals. You did not progress to T8, you have not advanced in all lines, no premium ships as back up, did not save your older ships? Well too bad for you.. Better start grinding folks..

Yes they want the enemy cv limited in its dd killing ability So they ( the bleu dd) have an easier time. but now OP is lamenting the fact that his friendly cv is not killing red dd’s because of this.. Enemy Manfred good, friendly Manfred bad...
