Lucky you. Most players got no ships at all. WG's RNG at it's best.

That would be fine as well but some players might complain. Removing the points or tweaking them a bit would not have a single player complaining about it. They simply refuse to do anything about it. WG wants players to play less PvE. You can see that by not giving a damn about co-op battles and also what they are doing with operations. Not only they are not improving the existing ones and updating new ones but they are breaking the ones that were working fine until recently.

In theory you should be 100% correct. In reality, you couldn't be more wrong. As stated numerous times, the support is useless most of the times and that's a fact the majority of players can vouch for. Also PMing the staff is like playing a ping-ping. And I'll tell you how it works, based on my very experience (I can post the exact replies and proofs but that might violate some rules so I'll just write it, for now) 1. You bring up an issue in the forums either because you want to hear if some other players have the same issue(s) or because someone will gladly point out that you're a noob and don't know how certain feature works 2. CMs, Mods or someone else advises you to open a support ticket which will be handled "promtly" 3. In the support ticket you spend XXX days (last time over 2 months for me) talking to the guys who have no idea about the game and are employed just to be slightly better than automated bots replying 4. If you're lucky, they call some "specialists" which I believe are the same guys, just taking 2 minutes to actually read what you write in the tickets as they previously ignored everything and sent a useless template instead which has nothing to do with the ticket and your issue 5. Ultimately, when they cannot fix the issue... you know what they tell you? To go on the forums and ask for help. And the loop (or as I call it "ping pong") continues. Only this time you're fed up and give up on it, exactly as they were hoping for since the very beginning.

Not everyone follows the news and the forums. And not everyone has time to grind a whole line from scratch in ~ 2 months (or so).

Yes, all of them. Obviously making the operation completely bugged and very difficult to play. The replay is right here... And seems like I'm not the only one as many other players experienced the same crap today...

If I'm not mistaken... at least 2 months more. (maybe more)

Here is the lovely replay... https://replayswows.com/replay/78797

I started grinding the line like a month ago... My plan was to obtain Moskva and her LM but since WG gave us a very short period to get there, I won't be getting the LM for her. I'm currently doing the bugged Narai (thanks WG) with Shchors but then I'd need to give like 1/2 million freeXP which I'm not willing to do. Especially since I've no idea what tweaks they will make with the LMs and even if Moskva will keep the LM being a premium/special ship or not. But I have at least 2 months to get from Chapayev to Moskva (if I'm not mistaken) so it should be doable without much effort, playing casually.

@Crysantos @Tanatoy @Sehales @YabbaCoe Is someone messing with this operation again? I mean if you're trying to fix it, that's fine but at the moment is more bugged than ever. Just see it for yourself, I believe after watching a replay words are unnecessary. https://replayswows.com/replay/78797#stats

I opened all bundles available (more than 30?) and if I combine all the ships I got from directives.... and then all the ships I got from completing the daily missions... let's see.... yeah... If my math is correct... a total of ZERO ships.

No. Because he asked if he can get more British tokens (20 to be precise) in order to get the ship he can see in the next tokens' bundle. It has nothing to do with premium bundles bought for doubloons which are used only by players with gambling problems or morons that don't realize the same ships will be available for free in less than a week.

While everything you wrote is technically correct, it has nothing to do with his post and his question. As you can see from the screenshot, he can see that the next bundle holds a ship and he is 20 tokens away from her. No doubloons will get him that specific ship in that specific bundle. He can throw away doubloons for premium bundles but he might not get the ship, especially not in the next bundle.

Well, Narai is always there. No matter how bugged it is. You might be right. Maybe he is just spending too much time with German staff members. Of course it was not a proposal/solution. Every server should have the same. It was just pointing how absurd it is as I believe the RU player-base could be the only players fine with fantasy lines like these. IF anyone asked for that. Destroyers and submarines? Seriously? I'm talking about 5 x T10 Soviet cruisers, more than any other nation in the game. And you're justifying it with "in 1939 Soviet had more DDs and Subs than Germans"? WOW.

So the "OP" part is the one that hurt you so bad? That's quite subjective anyways but whatever. Even if they are not OP, all I wrote still holds. And nope, I won't change my mind about this insane extensions of fantasy Soviet ships. Especially not before the other nations are updated the way the deserve. But you're right about one thing - no point in arguing, we both said what we had. Let's agree to disagree and move on. Even though the post from @MrConway was quite shitty. Again, unless it's a terrible German attempt to be funny in which case I'd forgive him and tell him to try again. Despite all those question being unanswered. (you'd think CMs are here to answer player's question, not try to be funny and miserably failing in the attempt)

So 5 fantasy soviet ships is factually wrong? Releasing an extended branch of Soviet ships nobody asked for is a stupid idea. Bash or not, that's what it is. As I said, many lines have been "on hold" for so long and instead of doing something about it, WG pushes more fantasy Soviet ships. For what? The RU player-base? They could have released them for the RU server only and let them have fun with them. And seems like that's not the end... another Soviet BB is coming and possibly an extended Soviet BB branch as well. That's a joke. What was factually wrong anyways? That the German navy had a bigger fleet than the Soviet ones? Really? What about the RN compared to the same fantasy Soviet ships? Was the RN smaller than the Soviet fleet as well? There is possibly no way anyone sane can justify this BS but whatever. Even the CMs acting inappropriate or that's just terrible Geman humor. Blah.

So instead of replying to my question you act like that? Very nice from someone with a CM title, very nice.

Now that's a shitty offer with insane prices. WG going bananas with their offers, once again.

No, you can't. It's WG fairness avoiding the gambling laws and showing you the next random bundle.

WOW, I didn't know we have so many soviet players that approve having 5 fantasy soviet cruisers, more than any other nation. ROFLMAO. I'm out, too toxic.

Not sure if these question have been answered already but.... @MrConway 1. When is this fantasy Soviet line being updated? Is it also with the 0.9.3 (in cca. 2 months) or later on? 2. If someone owns Kirov and Moskva already, do they keep them as premium ships or they will lose the ships from their port? 3. If someone owns Kirov and Moskva already, are the new ships replacing them automatically laid in their ports or they have to regrind them again? 4. What happens to the Moskva's LM, especially for the ones already having it? No premium/special ships have LMs so I believe it's a valid question. and a few general ones... 5. Why is WG releasing soviet ships that never existed when there are so many ships that could be added to the existing lines, that haven't been updated in years (USN, IJN, German etc.) 6. Is there ANYONE who thinks that 5 OP T10 cruisers from one nation is a good idea? Especially when that nation was in reality the smallest of the bunch. (for the ones that don't know how to count... Moskva, Stalingrad, Smolensk, Alexandr Nevsky, Petropavlovsk). For a comparison... I believe everyone knows how much bigger the German fleet was. And how many German T10 cruisers we have in the game? ONE. Yeap, only ONE. Let that sink in. I'll stop here because my questions might become toxic and I don't want that, I just want proper replies on the question made so far.

This was an event for the early-access of a specific line. When I say "guaranteed reward" I'm thinking specifically on the ships themselves, all other 'prizes' are irrelevant and cannot replace a ship that the whole event is based on. I'd leave the numbers and chances to others but it could be something like this... If you have a total of 40 loot boxes during the event, you could make it that a ship will drop at least once in 20 bundles opened. It could be more like some players had so those players wouldn't be affected but nobody would grind and finish the event empty handed with no early-access ships. So the ones who finished every directive and finished every daily mission would obtain at least 2 early-access ships. The ones who didn't finish all or missed some daily missions would obtain at least 1 early-access ship and only the ones who didn't participate in the event (less than 50% of boxes/bundles/whatever opened) would have no guaranteed early-access ship. They could still get it if RNG is on their side but there would be no guarantee and since WG keeps the chances so low.. it's obvious that you'd need to complete 50% to test one of the early-access ship and get a feeling of the new line coming in the next patch. How does that sound? I see it completely reasonable but what do I know, right? WG knows better or at least their spreadsheets say so... What do the rest of the players think about it? What about WG? @Crysantos @MrConway @Sehales @YabbaCoe etc.

They announced it from the beginning (the dates in which you can collect the tokens from daily missions) So you could plan accordingly. As to "why"... because they can. They reserved 200 tokens for the daily missions and that ended the other day (yesterday?) so there's that.

When is this fantasy line based on seKret projects supposed to come? Just asking a question, tired of shooting the wounded beast since WG is doing a great job shooting themselves in the knee with every single update and announcement they make.

In most games with sane developers there is something called "guaranteed reward" when it comes to lootboxes and other horseshit of the sort. But seems like the guys at WG never heard of that and they might be in some information isolation and can't find out about it. Maybe someone should point that out to them, especially in the events for early-access where you spend time and effort completing all directives + all daily missions in order to get the early access ship and at the end you don't get a single ship from all those random bundles. Then they wonder why so many players are pissed at them. Because you bloody deserve it you ignorant *insert whatever*
