[KAKE] Uglesett Players 2,804 posts 6,795 battles Report post #1 Posted June 17, 2019 I'd just like to show my appreciation for a small but IMO very positive change WG made recently with regards to handing out premium time e.g. as compensation for server issues. Namely, instead of just handing out a day of premium account time that starts ticking as soon as you claim it, they hand out a "Wargaming container" that always contains one day of premium time. Which can be opened when you actually have time to play. It's a small thing, but as someone who can be too busy to play for weeks on end, it's appreciated @Crysantos, @MrConway 48 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[-AP-] thiextar Players 3,503 posts 9,933 battles Report post #3 Posted June 17, 2019 It would be even better if it didnt take a full day of animations to actually open the box ^^. Its a good thing that the premium time doesnt start ticking until the box is fully opened, else it would have run out once your back in port 1 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Woof_for_Me Players 147 posts 348 battles Report post #5 Posted June 17, 2019 Hello. Can i cycle between which container i want to open? If i have 6 availible containers and the third is the one containing the premium time, can i select not to open that one but instead open the first and second one, continueing with the rest? Otherwise i don't see how i'm about to save up that premium time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[R7S] lovelacebeer Players 4,158 posts 25,226 battles Report post #6 Posted June 17, 2019 Agreed, give them credit when it's due this is certainly a positive feature, now I must remember not to click open all crates until I'm ready Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pametrada Players 709 posts 5,022 battles Report post #9 Posted June 18, 2019 I agree about the containers. Good move, WG. I sometimes think that WG doesn't get enough credit for a lot of things on this forum, but that's another discussion altogether. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, it is! it was one of the more common complaints that has been around for ages and this way they kinda adressed it (if only partially). WG also gives out these crates for PTS rewards now instead of a day of premium, really good move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Me and @Salentine had a conversation about the shoddy state of your beard, and how it is not regulation length / too fluffy. We need to be able to see your Adams' Apple when you stand to attention, anything that obstructs that is non-compliance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[KAKE] Uglesett Players 2,804 posts 6,795 battles Report post #24 Posted November 18, 2019 Anyway, did the WG container die out? Lately things like the daily login bonus has again been handing out straight up days of premium time instead. Which is a bit of a shame, because it means you either have to hold off on collecting the bonus if you don't have time to play (and potentially risk not getting all of them if you forget at a later date) or get "useless" days of premium time. We can haz WG containers instead, plz? @Crysantos @MrConway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Login-bonus always has been a "straight day" for eternity. The WG-containers so far were only handed out as compensation for server-borking. It would have been nice that the rewards for the Sansonetti-collection intermediates (those 4 days of premium) came in a container as well. Now I "have" to steer a bit and not open containers in order to guess/gamble that I will complete a subcollection by opening the containers on a day that I can actually play. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
