[ELEC] LiveWire___ Players 1,195 posts 9,252 battles Report post #1 Posted March 10, 2020 So, lately, I've been opting for nothing but "try your luck" containers during my daily grinds. I've gotten some fairly nice stuff, when I've turned up a super container: Camos, coal, stacks of cash etc. But nothing I'd call "super" Question is: Has anyone gotten anything truly "super" from a Try Your Luck container, and, if so, what?

MrFingers Beta Tester, Players, In AlfaTesters 3,242 posts Report post #4 Posted March 10, 2020 I just go for the "more resource"-container, since TYL is not worth it (drop-chance on a supercontainer is still very low, and the contents of the super-container are 95% of the time not super at all, often to a degree that a regular container holds better contents). Best thing's I've gotten in a "super"-container: some 15k coal ones, one with 2000D, one with 30D of premium (which all went to waste since it got opened on the last day before I went on holidays, and the premium acts direct, so...). And that's it. No ship, no steel,... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't take that pick after they introduced more resource containers. Still dropping Super containers from time to time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's solid advice and the same conclusion and reasoning I eventually came to after a brief unsuccessful run with choosing nothing but TYL containers a while back. I took a look at the daily containers info page on the WG site and what they outline is that every type of daily container has a ~1.5% chance of being a SC. When a player rolls the dice by choosing a TYL container, they have twice the chance of getting a SC but in reality twice the zero % chance is not so good right lol? Ok ok, it's going to be a ~3% chance of being a SC with a TYL effort, but that's still a very low chance and not worth bothering with vs taking your chances with the resource container and at least still getting guaranteed amounts of coal every the time you try. The thing about it is this. Most the time with a TYL container you get some trashy flags, this is the most common contents which TYL containers are programmed to drop the most and that sucks right? However with the resources containers you will always get at least 400 coal and that builds up and up so while there is still small chance of a SC at least you are slowly working your way towards a free coal purchased ship right? And of course resource containers also have a chance of 400 coal X3 and maybe 500 or X2 500 xp, some flags which are the good type of flags such as +50% xp. The TYL containers can have some really nice stuff too but it's generally just flags, that is what they are programmed % to have the most of so... just not worth it imho.

[FKTS] ThePoisonDwarf Players 758 posts Report post #12 Posted March 10, 2020 Atlanta and 1000 dubloons. 2-3x times flags/camos. The interesting thing is that all these rewards were in 'streak' (over 1-2 weeks) and then completely nothing as I remember. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WG lied? Either way, it's a bad deal and if it's to your figures, even worse than I thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Back to topic: Atlanta and 2 x 1500 steel. The rest all mediocre flags.. But i stopped picking random since the coal option was introduced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[WCBG] BrusilovX Beta Tester 2,838 posts 23,904 battles Report post #15 Posted March 10, 2020 I did select the TYL containers for a while with varied results. I now just settle for the 'more resources' ones as coal comes in handy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
