[NED] Ferry_25 Players 4,379 posts 12,066 battles Report post #1 Posted October 24 Just send a ticket how I managed to lose over 10k doubloons and just found the answer. It's the Italian cruiser containers. I spared italian tokens to exchange for the containers. But turns out the containers are only obtainable with doubloons instead of the token points. So DON'T pick them. Your token points will be just the same and your doubloons will be deducted!!! If you select the containers there is no way to chose for the points!!!!! I discovered I lost nearly 10K doubloons over this... 2 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[_I_] Nibenay78 Players 67 posts 14,900 battles Report post #3 Posted October 24 As far as I can see, it says quite clearly that they cost dubloons. Why anyone would want to spend dubloons on crates is another question I do not understand.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[-TPF-] invicta2012 Players 2,420 posts 11,028 battles Report post #5 Posted October 24 Er.. matey, those are the Premium containers. Clearly they cost doubloons, but they give you bonus Italian Tokens (and that's what they're promoting). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[MIAU] Egoleter [MIAU] Players 3,498 posts Report post #6 Posted October 24 The prize for items in the armory is always listed in the lower left corner. Everything else is decorative or informative. So the tokens you see on those premium container are only there to tell you that you gain this many of them for your purchase. Why should a premium container even be less expensive then the normal ones? What made you think that this might be possible with Wargaming (or any other company)? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[BFS] Skurfa Beta Tester 576 posts Report post #7 Posted October 24 If you're not used to it, it could look like they cost tokens.... you know, if you turn your head a bit to the right, tilt it to the left and squint left eye a bit... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[RM] Europizza Players 1,319 posts 16,525 battles Report post #8 Posted October 24 Funny. I was looking at the pics this morning thinking it might not be the best idea to include tokens and gold amounts in one and the same pic.

And that's why you should never make armory purchases while any of the following: Short on sleep, angry, impatient, or drunk. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SRW] Palubarac Players 605 posts 5,134 battles Report post #15 Posted October 24 Twelve. Thousand. Battles. Over Four. Years. Just a quick question... How many containers did you buy? Over 10k probably means 12.500 doubloons? 10 (premium) containers then? How were you planning to buy 10 Italian containers if you have only 171 tokens and one (regular) Italian container costs 70 tokens? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
