Eff off Wargaming, that's such a blatantly inflated cash grab I'm tempted to open a topic calculating the individual cash value of each item. I guarantee it's not even close to the 50 euros asking price. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[SCRUB] T0byJug Quality Poster 5,358 posts 25,539 battles Report post #8 Posted December 20, 2018 So 15 Euro of crates +8euro of Doubloons + 4000 steal and a bunch of Camo/flags the flags are not even the Dragon Economic flags.. that means 4000 steal is worth about 27 euro... 4/5 the cost of the Atlanata.. Except if you buy this mission and the end you are 1/3 of the way to the Flint.... or 12/15 the cost of Atlanta for 5/15 the cost of the flint. If you need Doubloons the package is more attractive but I have almost 30k and not much content in game to buy that i don't already have Sorry Wargaming I love you and your games but this is WAY to steep for me 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(But i still have 330 day left) camos i have over about 1800 that give at least 100% +XP and over 1000 that give other XP values. if there was a package for the mission and the mission alone for 15 or even 2ß Euro i may have been tempted.. But i just dont want or need the extra stuff.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus the package includes silver credits that I could NEVER spend as I have over 400 million credits already. Bad value and far too much grind, I spent a lot last Christmas and nothing this year as I've simply no reason to support them at the moment. Plus the CV rework looks like it might make the game miserable to play soon, so I might hang up my skippers cap for good. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whatever happens, I'm guessing we'll have at least a couple of months of disruption before the kinks are ironed out (or WG just revert to what went before) - best case. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[YEET] ReapingKnight Players 240 posts 10,777 battles Report post #14 Posted December 20, 2018 Yes it's a bit of a cash grab, but they've also marked it at that price to dissuade people from buying it as too many people would be like 4k steel for 10 euros then everyone would be getting the steel ships which are supposed to be for those who have grinded it out.

[2DQT] RUSSIANBlAS Players 8,241 posts Report post #18 Posted December 21, 2018 The height of the pay wall really puts me off, as does the bad T6 German Hood. I'll likely give Steel Monsters a miss even if grinding it gets me a Stalingrad. YY nerf, CV rework, Submarines and probably other things mean I play less and less these days. I'm surprised I care enough to grind the Dreadnaught missions! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course we should worry. Everything we've seen so far of the cv rework and wg's communication about it suggests that the developers are genuinely oblivious to how bad it is. There is a very real possibility that the cv rework can make the game bad enough that player numbers become unsustainable before wg have time to understand it and react.

[TEC] The_Gathering Beta Tester 226 posts Report post #24 Posted December 21, 2018 I have zero sympathy for players paying 50 euros to participate in a WOWS campaign (where the players themselves also have to do actual work to get rewards). To add, you will just encourage WG to go even further down the P2W yellow brick road with their games, if you do. That's all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are right but some players want to have the steel ships in their port and on the other hand WG have to make some revenue in order to maintain staff, updates, new content and servers. However, 4k steel for EUR 50 is a big NO. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
