"It's just a fresh wound" is my favorite. Usually with CAs. Just go for Kraken. You will probably fail to get it but obtain some other one(s) else instead :)

But as far as I can see... on the events so far by buying premium containers you were guaranteed to get a certain amount of the current tokens to get certain rewards or the main one - the ship like 'Lazo' and then 'Benham'. Now you waste a bunch of doubloons and cash and you have a chance of getting something but you might get absolutely nothing. LOL What's the next stage? Buy premium containers with real money even tho you're sure you won't get anything? Just for LOLz? Good job WG, good job.

I don't remember the last time I got a SC. But I do remember the time when I used to get them quite often. I believe they changed the odds of getting one but didn't see any announcement about it...

I'm surprised every time I see it above 0. But that doesn't long last and I'm quickly back to the best karma you can be at... Nobody cares about it anyways...

Yes, yes and yes, 100% needed. I still have a lot of issues either due to my Windows update or the 0.8.6 update (or a combination of both)

I've opened nearly a dozen I believe and I got nothing... Makes it easier to forget about this stupid event and see if the next one will be worse as that seems the direction they are heading atm...

This is the best event so far... to skip and laugh at...

Never noticed it before. Thanks for the clarification. At least I chose the correct section of the forum /noob out

I won't lie that I didn't have minor issues in the past with the lag and connection problems. But after the latest update everything is significantly worse. I wait longer to connect, the battles take longer to load, I wait longer to get into battle, I experience lags while in battle as well, after the battle the results lag a few seconds (there is even a lag in between the WOWs logo on top and the actual results down below), I get disconnected from the battle for no apparent reason and I sometimes wait too long to reconnect (just happened) even tho my connection is good and why trying to reconnect I'm on the forums and checking the speed and ping online showing no issues at all. The way you "optimized" it is terrible and you should either revert such changes or work on them fast. It's getting to the point where it's unplayable.

Alright, thanks.

I thought the rewards for the missions are awarded independently, not in-battle and as a part of the battle itself. I mean not shown on the 'results' screen but once you leave to port. And as you can see on the first screenshot, no combat mission has been completed by playing that particular battle. Now this is the next battle I just finished. On this one I did complete one of the daily missions but no additional fXP has been awarded, at least not on the 'after-battle' screen. IDK, I'm still not convinced even tho it seems it's quite clear for you... P.S. I do understand that I got 30 fXP from that battle and 1,000 fXP was awarded additionally. But I don't know for what since I did not finish any mission by playing that game. Even if I did I thought that additional fXP (1,000 in this case) is not shown on the 'after-battle' screen.

Seems like you don't understand what 100% of the potential means. But as I said - I won't go any further on this. Let's agree to disagree and leave it there. /over & out.

Even if you use your premium ship for 20 years but don't play 24/7 it's still not at 100% of it's potential. But I'll leave it there, It just punched me when the "100% potential" is mentioned like anyone is using anywhere near that. Again - agreeing with you. Each one chooses what's best for them based on the time spent playing either on daily, monthly or yearly basis. I believe most active players play a couple of games per day, at least few days weekly. That's enough for the premium (especially the discounted yearly one) to be well worth it, if you have the money to spare and willing to do so.

I never got mad about credits... lol I didn't know I gave that impression. When? When I said I spent 7mil on JB's upgrades? Well, it was because I had those credits to waste. If I didn't I'd just run the ship without the upgrades. It would have affected my gameplay a bit but nothing that would make it unplayable. I never disagreed with your or said that premium-time is no good. I'm just trying to present a bigger picture, other than "everyone should be premium all the time".

Hold on a sec... premium-time can never be used to 100% since nobody plays 24/7? How is that different from not playing a premium ship 24/7? If you're not playing 24/7 in your premium ship you're still not getting the "100% potential" of her, right?

As I said, I'm talking about my personal experience and "pay to win" philosophy. I do NOT pay for playing games, especially if it's something you're supposed (but not forced) to regularly pay either every year for a premium or every month for premium ships, finishing events which are free in theory but we all know how that works out. Premium time (for a year) is not that expensive when taken on discount. It's well worth it. I never said otherwise. It's just not my cup of tea. I play for fun and when the game goes into a direction I don't like, I just quit the game without thinking how much time or money I invested in it. Mostly because it's a bit of time and no money. Additionally, I'm not playing all-year around. Depending on the contract(s) I might be at home a couple of months per year. Buying a year of premium wouldn't be the smartest thing I could do anyways. Not everyone earns the same, not everyone has the same cash to waste on temporary fun, not everyone has the time to grind for certain events every day etc. You have to see the bigger picture to have a better understanding instead of a (very limiting) opinion such as "You don't have 40e in a year? Pls."

Sure, I'm not saying that's bad or nobody should do it. If you enjoy the game and have some money to spare (the prices are relative to people's earnings and nearly 100 euros for a year's a premium is not the same for everyone) then sure, go for it. I'm not gonna go into economics and standards of living but in some countries in Europe those 100 euros are 1/3 of the monthly income. Still... I fully agree that's better to buy a year's of premium than spending the same (or more) on premium ship(s) you never played before and you might hate once you buy them. As for me personally, I simply don't pay for games. And I'm not even enjoying WOWs lately with all the greed and grind events. That might change in the future. Or maybe it will be time to switch gears and focus on something more interesting and less greedy.

I had an illusion I'm getting rich by playing some 'Rogue Wave' event and then I got JB and spent like 7 mil in an instant on upgrades. Playing as a non-premium is not easy (especially credit-wise) but I like challenges and I don't like wasting money. It forces you to play better if you want to keep the credits balance going up. As a premium even in an average battles you'll earn a decent amount of credits.

The last event was greedy enough and I was afraid that more greed will knock on the door. Definitely not spending anything on the event. Players are the ones choosing in which direction will this greed/grind go.

The auto-pilot works way worse than before. It was not good before, now you broke it completely. As for the lighting... On some occasions I find it better but sadly more often than not I find the lighting worse than it was. Especially when talking about brightness and visibility. It's too bright on certain maps and the visibility suffers because of that. It might be more realistic with the sunshine blinding you but definitely harder to play and not that fun. Especially when your team is the one facing the sun.

I can't imagine what a mess we'd get with subs in the game. For some experimental events and/or operations... yeah, no problem and easy to ignore if you want. For Random battle? Hell NO.

Sometimes you see name and shame from ppl you don't expect. crap happens. If it's a minor thing like taking 1% of HP or collision you can report it and move on. If it's some real drama with insults in the chat, write a ticket if you feel like it. Posting screenshots with names here is worse than all of the above (and will definitely have no effect whatsoever) and even against the forum rules.

You know what WOWs needs? More premium containers. P.S. Not hating, I'm not even playing this event... letting it pass completely. If WOWs continues in this direction an uninstall will be the only viable option.

I believe this "feature" is being abused a lot by some. The simple solution would be to take a small % of the HP. It would be an instant fix.

Question: WG why do you hand out a tier 9 premium Georgia after 260 horrible battles total? Answer: Because he paid for it. The End.
