For me those mission were the tipping point, they made me willing to take a gamble I'd not have taken otherwise.

where did you find a hint that those missions also come with the ships from the containers, and not only when buying them directly?

Yes - 10 games isn't much  . . . . but let me put it this way.

If you got a 100 Euro refund from a store then what would you rather have - the 100 Euros all at once or 10 Euros the next 10 times that you bought something in the store.

Well, if it was the COOP store and you could go in 10 times in less than 2 hours and just pretend to buy stuff from robot staff and then receiving your money?,  it seems like an OK deal.

The detailed description is badly worded, the bundle content description is entirely accurate. As I mentioned, please feel free to contact customer support for a refund if you misunderstood the bundle contents.

How is the detailed description not part of the content description? Are you... trying? XD

I think it had to be clarified as WG can't explain things so players can understand and they all fail as no-one did a QA (quality assurance) on the announcement.

 

This thread may help:

I know how to get the mission, that is not the point. But tenacious_torps complains that he bought containers to get B ships with doubloon missions for B ships, while afaik there is no hint at all that also the ships from the containers come with doubloon missions, the container description in the shop doesn't mention any missions...

[Miscommunication_dept]

That’s correct, no mention of that or the 10 point commanders that come with them. 

I did get a mission though.

The ships you win from the containers come with exactly the same package as when you buy them directly, as has been reported. This means That is, if you get any of the black versions, no matter how you get them, they come with 2500 dbl mission. BUT this mission can only be done on the standard, non-black version of the ship. So if you don't own both versions of the same ship (standard and black or A and B), no 2500 doubloons.

 

Hope this helps clarify it.

The premium shop's wording has been changed to be more clear.

 

Thank you Mr Conway and all.

"With Black Friday drawing near, replenish your collection with battleship Tirpitz and a unique black permanent camouflage! Please note: Tirpitz B is a unique ship. If you already have the standard Tirpitz in your collection, you can use her to complete a special Combat Mission after purchasing the bundle. Conditions: simply enter battle on Tirpitz to claim 250 doubloons. The mission can be obtained only once per account and completed 10 times until January 31."

 

ähhhm guys, there is also a problem with the description! it should be 2500 I thought this would be a different mission, this mistake here reinforces the impression you will get a 2500 gold mission for the b variant and a 250 mission for the normal one! 

(i didn't bought it yet)

10 battles each one gives 250 doubloons

oh my mistake, I totally overrated that thx.

I was lucky today as I purchased ONE and only ONE Black Friday container which gave me Asashio B, the only ship of the 4 of which I didn't already own any version. I was even happier when I saw that, after my first battle with Asashio B, I also got the special mission (which is also NOT indicated amongst your chances for the container loot, or at least wasn't when last I checked)… and now I can't make use of this mission because it's limited to the normal Asashio.

 

So basically I can either let that mission rot or buy a 34 euro ship to be able to play a mission, advertised as a nice extra and incentive to buy Asashio B, which would grant me doubloons worth about 10 euros.

 

Mr Conway, with all due respect, the entire setup of this "special" STINKS. BIG TIME. And you know exactly why, don't play dumb/innocent here. It's basically a shady Approach to get people to spend not nly on the discount Black Friday packs but on the regular ships as well. Or, the other way around, to motivate those that already have the normal versions to get the Black editions.

 

You really wanna help and "compensate" people, how about this VERY simple fix: change the doubloons mission so it can be completed with both the Standard and the Black Edition ships, in my case with both Asashio (dont have it, wont get it, not after this!) and Asashio B.

 

And if this is truely meant as a extra for those who already have the Standard Editions, why make them jump through extra hoops with having to play 10 missions? Why not change it so that the 2500 doubloons are FULLY automatically awarded if you already have the standard ship? And Indicate this clearly in the shop, for example:

 

"2500 Doubloons special bonus for owners of the standard (ship)"

 

 

As it stands now though, this is shady and dishonest as hell. And don't try to mince words here, I'm not f***ing stupid. As I said: EITHER clearly phrase this and just give the damn doubloons to those that already have the Standard ships OR extend the desciption and the mission so both Standard and Black versions can complete it, that way having a mission would make at least some sense.

 

But selling a ship with an extra that said ship CANNOT USE? WTF?

 

 

What would you think if you, for example, bought a car with a cool paintjob which includes 2 baby seats… for a slightly different version of the same car which you would have to buy extra? Why would anyone bother thrwoing an "extra" onto something if that extra is USELESS with/for the initial item?

 

Oh, and answer me this, to maybe help me with my case here: I only have Asashio B. I WILL NOT buy Asashio for the sake of this little mission. What am I supposed to do now? Apart from being pissed about this, of course. Me and many others. I really hope a few community contributors rip you guys a new one over this on Youtube.

 

 

 

EDIT: Thinking some more about this, at this stage, after severeal people have bought the packs already, some of them most likely under the impression they'd get that mission to play with the pack as well… the only Action left for you guys (WG) now is to expand the mission so it really includes black and standard ships. Because if you don't many people will be pissed because 1.) they feel betrayed so much that they actually take you up on your advice and return their bought package, which will most likely lead to those people never buying anything from you guys again and spreading bad press or 2.) they feel cheated out of part of the deal but still want to Keep the ship, thus having a useless mission constantly reminding them about the way WG conned them, most likely also leading to bad rep and fewer customers in the future.

 

FIX THIS. I told you how.

you have your Port filters on I expect.

[9541]

Yes, but the problem is solved! I had no perm. cammo for those ships and had to use normal camouflage, but now they are suddenly there between my other cammo's.

Very strange, but the problem is solved. 

[Varian_Dorn]

Is one Mr. Conway or anyone else somewhat important still around? I'd like to hear an answer to my proposal.
