[-MM] tajj7 Beta Tester 1,210 posts 1,486 battles Report post #2 Posted September 12, 2018 Quote The rules are simpler than they might initially seem: Yeh I think WG's definition of simple differs to mine. Interesting though, chance to almost get a free Cossack and get into the new DD line. I am presuming we can just buy these containers and the Cossack for those that don't have as much time? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[SM0KE] Verblonde Players 3,067 posts 7,531 battles Report post #3 Posted September 12, 2018 Looks promising; do we happen to know when it goes live - next week, perhaps? Presents a bit of a dilemma for the WOT players: there's a grind for a freebie T8 premium going on at roughly the same time, I think... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[PUPSI] Klopirat Privateer 7,548 posts Report post #7 Posted September 12, 2018 I see only one strange point: the event goes from 0.7.9 to 0.7.11., but Sovereigns can only be used with 0.7.10., not in 0.7.11. ... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeh knowing when this starts would be helpful, think the Caernarvon X marathon missions are already showing up in game if you want to see the start date. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[PUPSI] Klopirat Privateer 7,548 posts Report post #13 Posted September 12, 2018 Gerade eben, MrFingers sagte: Premium shop. You can't earn them IIRC Zitat Another new arrival in the Arsenal is the Tier VIII premium destroyer Cossack, available for 50 Guineas. In the course of three updates it’s possible to receive a significant discount for the destroyer—participation in the Royal Navy event can get you up to 48 Guineas. Once you have them, you only have to buy a few more Guineas from the Premium Shop and that Tier VIII destroyer is yours! edit: should have been added to my previous post...

I wonder if @MrConway or @Crysantos might be able to clarify? Please note that the Royal Navy category and the ability to use Sovereigns to obtain its contents will become available in Update 0.7.10, so you'll have plenty of time to choose the items you want. With the release of Update 0.7.11, each Sovereign in your possession will be exchanged for 25,000 credits. Maybe they mean 0.7.12? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
r00barb Players 934 posts 4,251 battles Report post #18 Posted September 12, 2018 I think it's a well-structured campaign and while it's slightly annoying to have more new currencies specific to an event, I'm impressed that doubloons will be given for purchases of premium ships you already own. Exchanging 200 sovereigns for 4,500 doubloons (if you already own the Gallant) is rather tempting and 6,500 doubloons for 220 sovereigns (Warspite) seems quite generous. Guess it depends on how many sovereigns it's possible to earn from the event. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guess it depends on how many sovereigns it's possible to earn from the event. If the article ist correct (...) you get five per mission. Three updates * four stages * four directives * five-seven missions would mean 1200 to 1680 sovereigns (which seems rather many to me). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if @MrConway or @Crysantos might be able to clarify? You can obtain said Sovereigns from update 0.7.9 on and also use them immediately. At the end of the arc they'll be automatically exchanged for credits, like at the end of any other event. We're fixing this confusing mention of Update 0.7.10, sorry about that.
