As I grew up the presents did get smaller, until they ended up being just pieces of colored paper. What I've found out is that the value of the presents did not drop.

But this here is not a discussion about what your family and friends give you for Christmas, this is business. A company should always work to entice people to use their products, not the other way around. Bad marketing has a way of getting back to the company, just look at the current stock market drops of all major publishers. Bethesda looks at a nasty class action lawsuit, Blizzard got a "dear john" letter from their fans, EA got woke and is going for broke.

 

Last year I bought over a hundred Christmas boxes, this year only five. I didn't buy West Virginia, even though I wanted to. I don't have a problem with that.

Boring... since you made the collections "hard to get" for free I'm not interested. Let me put it this way, I have 80 duplicates on American Cruiser Collection and I need 3 more items to complete it... Lost my interest long time ago.

...plus the following collections you missed as you re still collecting American Cruisers stuff...    omg ,  had a big laugh, thank you.

reminded me a friend who was eating raw cabbage and told me with a grin, dude, this lettuce is horrible...     XD

I don't have any issues with  the "Belle Époque" Collection , purely because it not listed in my game anywhere. Can some one explain why, please?

It will become visible the very moment you earn your first NY-container (blue 1920 style) from the Eithel-directive, or the premshop.

Details of the new collection, Combat Missions, and containers with rewards.

One remark: when I opened the 2nd chest, I got 1 duplication already. What are the chances? 3 : 16. Nevermind, that was unlucky. I open the 5th chest: one 1t Nicolai stamp and another 1st Nicolai stamp... Hmmm... this never happened before. 6th chest: Varyag figurehead and another duplication. I open the 7th chest (by now 8 items collected, therefore the chance 50:50 for a new item), in BOTH are Varyag figurehead. 

 

Therefore here is the remark: this collection is heavily eschewed towards duplication of items. 7 chests: 8 items collected, 6 duplicates. With 5 to 1 exchange ratio, we are expected to get like about 25 containers to complete the Belle Epoque. 10 more up chests up for grabs during the whole campaign. chance for completion without BUYING additional chests: virtually none. You sneaky bastards of WG planners.
