That's A LOT of grind though. I wish WG would make events more interesting instead of being the same crap all over again. I don't mind hard but hard in a sense of specific requirements, not just grind and grind mindlessly to the point you don't wish to play at all.

You do realize that you're basically admitting that most of your player-base are new players which means that most of the older ones left the game for good? I mean that's something that we can see but not something I'd expect WG to admit in public. Good to know.

As far as I'm concerned I don't even care about the website, I'm talking about in-game notifications. You see the number next to the 'news' thinking there is something new and important, just to find out it's a recycled news you read 10 days or so ago. I'm pretty sure nobody would have anything against you pushing the news you consider important to the top, just don't make it as they are new because they are not. Is it clearer now?

I'd bet they said they won't be pushing the same news all over again but I guess that's another promise thrown away... nothing new from WG. Same answer from last time, just another WG staff member that replies. EDIT: Here, I found it... just 20 days ago...

Royal =/= British. Read more carefully.

So... being part of the last PTS got me 2 additional Lunar containers... thus increasing my chances of getting a ship... from 0% to 0.00000000001%. Thanks WG. Thanks for nothing. FYI: 12 British tokens random bundles + 10 Lunar containers = 0 ships in total. Lovely.

Yeah, I checked the article now... "It’s a special day Down Under" Didn't even read it before as I don't care about rentals, at all. Just seemed wrong, at first glance at least. Oh well.

Nope, Japanese and Chinese ships should never come close to Russian ones. Once Bajie becomes Blyat and sails under a Soviet flag... well comrade... then you'll see some real improvements.

No it was not the same. Not at all. But it has been explained too many times already and I honestly don't have time to repeat the same story over and over again. P.S. Even it if was (it's not), repeating the same BS 1000 times doesn't make it fine. It's still BS.

That's funny. The one you didn't get is the one I got in every single crate - 5,000 Free XP. There was only one exception where I got 3 'Lunar Warrior' camos, the rest all fXP.

It's 12 if I'm not mistaken. I've opened all of them, got 0 ships and the next one will bring me the same - no ships at all. Needless to say that I felt better when I knew how many bundles there are and what are the odds of getting a ship. This seems like a very bad design and I hope it won't become a standard way like loot boxes have.. (now you don't have a single event that doesn't circle around bloody loot boxes and gambling)

I don't think it's on purpose but a mistake they made. It's the same on the news at the website itself. https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/ When you open the article, it's the same... https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/sales-and-events/loot-and-plunder-from-down-under/ I thought they flipped it in the code by mistake but no... the "original" image is flipped and this is the the path/size of the one.. Not a big deal but @YabbaCoe will probably look into it and fix it. (or get someone to fix it) P.S. If WG needs to employ specialists to flip the image, I'll do it for free so no excuse can be used...

So it seems WG got lazy and decided to use the same old models of ships they already have... re-skinned them and put a different flag on them. Does that make them a different ships? I don't think so. Also, these copies seem to be worse than the originals. Like Wukong being worse than Charles Martel in basically every aspect. I mean... selling the same crap more than once isn't a new concept for WG ('B' ships come to mind first) but this is getting ridiculous.

1 million base XP on the PTS? Is that a joke?

I don't watch streams anymore. I don't see the point of it. They ignore most question, reading just the ones that they choose. I guess it's another "WG RNG" when it comes to choosing and reading messages from viewers. And for most of those question the answer is "we don't have a date yet...once we do, you will be first to find out", whatever that means. The rest of the stream is watching 2 mediocre players (I'm sure nobody would argue that they are all pretty bad) playing random battles not contributing to show some work in progress or anything that payers might actually be interested in.

I don't like that explanation either. Getting the port slot and a commander with 3 skill points is not compensation, that's a regular reward. The only compensation are the credits instead of the ship which obviously cannot be obtained again as it is impossible to have 2 pieces of the same ship unless it's a WG gimmick like B (black) ships and such. So you should try better formulating the sentences to make it clear for the players what to expect because so far it's always surprises and negative ones. What about the ULIMITED word in the bundles? That's what I commented on first but seems like slowly but surely you're leaving that part out. Anyways, correcting the article now wouldn't change much. This should be a lesson for the next time if you want to show at least a small appreciation to the players and their feedback. It's obvious that the whole even was done very poorly IMHO. From the unclear article omitting important details like those mentioned already to small details like not even being able to see how many bundles you've opened so far. Why is that information hidden from the front end in the UI? Seems like every step you make is in the wrong direction. I honestly hate to say it but that's how it seems to me. I wish it was different but at the moment it's definitely not.

Why would WG change something that is working fine? Seems like they are obsessed to change things just for the sake of change, most of the times for the worse and then instead of reversing the BS they did, they spend the next few months trying to fix it. If it sounds stupid, it's because it is.

Yes, but nowhere is specified that you can get the same ship from both types of bundles. Just put yourself in a position of a player who paid a bunch of doubloons to obtain a ship, just to find the exact same ship in the "token bundle" few days later. How do you think that players feels?? You might have as well said "bundles that don't contain ships will appear all the time" since that's what is true in my case. Also, you answer has nothing to do with my complain. We have to read between lines and figure out what the article meant in theory? Are you actually serious about that? You wrote so much BS in the article but it didn't occur to you to mention that the same ship can be obtained twice, from different types of bundles and that the bundles are unlimited and therefore there is absolutely no guarantee to obtain a ship like it was the case with every bundle so far!?? Come on, you can't be serious.

Same here. What did you get from all those containers? Any ship? As expected, out of all containers + 2 as a PTS reward I got exactly 0 ships. The chances are so low, it's a disgrace. WG and their gambling RNG.

After all, it's just advertisement to sell the ship for 17 euros.

It also doesn't say the the the random bundles are UNLIMITED. WG is smart omitting information that sound really bad and placing only the ones that sound appealing. It's called MANIPULATING THE INFORMATION (or simply MANIPULATION) and it's one of the main reason for the Puerto Rico fiasco but apparently they learn absolutely nothing from the mistakes they make and they just keep pissing the whole playerbase.

Tell me about it... LOL It's the only reply they can come up with or the only reply they are instructed to give. Then I ask them the following question... WHEN SO MANY PLAYERS, FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, USING DIFFERENT ISPs HAVE THE SAME CONNECTIVITY ISSUES WITH WG SERVERS ONLY (AND NOTHING ELSE) AT THE EXACT SAME TIME... DOES THAT SOUND LIKE A PROBLEM WITH ALL THOSE PLAYERS OR WITH WG SERVERS!?? Then they go into "ignore mode" or reply with some unrelated useless template. One of the worst customer support I've ever dealt with.

What about extending the PTS then? For at least one day that was pretty wasted (yesterday) [?]

Not interested at all, I'll pass.

I stopped counting. P.S. Another one just now... At 12:34:45 LT (11:34:45 UTC). Disconnected, a whole game wasted. Even two months of premium wouldn't compensate for all the issues they have with the servers.
