Yeah, because having crew is much more inappropriate for kids than gambling with loot boxes. World of Hypocrisy.

@YabbaCoe Got a message that there is an update on the PTS. Tried to update. MalwareBytes reported a Trojan. More than once during the update. Please check. Doesn't look good.

Opened all free ones from missions and the ones for 250 doubloons. Got a bunch of useless $hit, not a single black ship there. Very tempted to spend real money on more boxes. Not.

It seems like we're being ignored. I wonder why. Isn't the goal for the players to have more fun or it's to frustrate them as much as possible?

^ Known bug since last update. Devs "working on it".

^ I don't speak German but seeing "Puerto Rico' being mentioned and a screenshot of being unable to login I can throw 2 facts... 1. The PTS is over, you cannot login anymore 2. Puerto Rico cannot be obtained in the PTS. You receive 10,000 doubloons instead.

I'd like to join the lottery.

I've been out the whole day... I come back home, sit and plan to have a few relaxed co-op battles. Battle starts, I get disconnected. Trying to reconnect for few minutes. Finally the battle screen is loading and I can see I'm still alive. I get in and the first thing I hear is my Smolensk being destroyed. But I did shot a plane apparently. Why is this here? Well, it's my best game today. After such experience I'm not playing again today. P.S. Seems like it was an intense battle and the battle time expired... I bet it would be very "interesting" to watch a replay of bots trying to find one another.

For me it was nice but as for the live server, I don't have many T8 ships that I could use and I know I'll struggle by not having any decent ship for this occasion.

Yeah, it's a nice concept that could be applied to lower tiers as well, obtainable by having fun instead of wasting lives over insane grinds during holidays.

Once the construction commences, it should not stop (get stuck) or anything of the sort. I haven't noticed anything like that on both occasions building it (even tho the 2nd time I built from scratch to completion it in 2 minutes). As for the Puerto Rico in port... you can't get PR in the PTS. Read the thread on which you're posting as the answer has been given many times, besides being clearly announced in the news and other places.

^ So I guess you figured it out? I completed the first PR in a day. I completed the second one in 2 minutes.

Exactly my point. If they would release how small the odds of winning something useful are... less people would be willing to buy loot boxes and gamble.

I agree. I also got most of the offers for 250 doubloons. Definitely the best way to spend some I have stacked over the last few months. The rest of the offers during Black Friday? Blah..

After the 1st stage, got only camos from 2 standard Black (type 69) and 1 premium Black containers (Shadow Lurker)... I don't expect anything else from other stages. It wouldn't be different even if I threw away money on them which I obviously won't do.

Spreadsheets are saying you're supposed to have fun. Logic is saying you will bleed a lot of credits and get frustrated a lot.

I feel like this must be repeated again because while I'm sure they saw many complaints about it... seems like they plan to ignore it and then pretend they didn't see it at all. I'm sure they didn't notice that you lose credits no matter what. Even if you're premium and you win, you still lose credits. That doesn't make any sense. How much would you bleed if you're not premium and you lose? Yeah, exactly. @YabbaCoe

Well, during the PTS everyone's feedback was that it's too repetitive with bots being always the same ones, spawning always in the exact same place etc. They saw the feedback and decided they don't give a $hit. So most players didn't give a $hit for the whole event in return so there's that.

Glad it's over. It was repetitive and I'm sure it made most of the players sick of it quite fast.

As I said in many occasions... a simple fix to all co-op battles is to remove the 'mercy rule' which is pointless when bots are concerned anyways. You do that and doesn't matter how many players are in the battle and problem solved.

They will be removed in the next update 0.8.11 It was announced in the news.

The resources container guarantees you 400 coal. You might get 800 or even 1200 but 400 is the minimum and that's what you got 2/3 of the time. The last time you got double. Would you like to not get the flags and that slot to be empty? Not sure what's the problem there. If you don't need them or use them.. just ignore them. If you want coal to appear in all 3 slots (1200 per container), all the time... no, it's not gonna happen and honestly... it shouldn't. But it does happen on (rare) occasions....

You got tricked by WG and the way the advertise stuff. Hopefully it's a lesson for next time and won't happen again.

From this first stage of the mission... 2 Black containers = 2 x 69 camo (both containers the same) 1 premium Black = 20x Shadow Lurker So tempting to spend real money and get more camos... LOL

Excellent, especially if you don't have those ships already. That's the best thing you can buy actually. Because comrade... why sell the ship once if they can sell it twice... [?] You see... if they were half decent people... you would keep the B version you got from a container and the 'standard' version would go away but you would get a compensation in doubloons. That would be the most logical and normal way of dealing with this. I'd mention the simplest way of selling just a camo but that's not so profitable for WG. Too greedy, way too greedy.
