If those are reward for PT, why now and this way instead of usual user bonus way?

@MrConway @Crysantos

No idea. You happen to know by now why you got these 2 crates? :Smile-_tongue:

Nope, still have no idea why they appeared in port.

Usual WG containers with premium day and some flags.

I could be completely wrong but I remember reading that if we went over to the WArgaming Centre we got a days premium time so it's possible they are to do with that but I am guessing.

I think you can get and 5000 free EXP in them as well.

I did once or twice.

What do you mean by going over to WG center?

Don't think so, I got 1 day of premium instead of any WG containers.

If it had been from the PTS rewards, he would have had to accept the bonus instead of having received the WG crates automatically.

 

So for now, the mystery hasn't been solved yet! :Smile-_tongue:

That is interesting, have you checked in game info?

 

I have got some container out of blue that I reported to Customer Support and of course they ignored me and locked the case.

Its 2 of those.

 

I don`t think that it is related with game center because i`m using it since they "forced" us first time few years ago.

Got mail with some goodies for 4 years being there, but containers was not mentioned so ... nope.

 

Most likely, as it looks to me, it is PT reward as i finished building phases in both parts of 0.9.5 ... and from PT for current update i got token crates directly, not via user bonus check.

@MrConway @Crysantos

You guys sure it wasn't the blue-ish recruitment containers?

They look very different but might as well ask just to be sure :Smile-_tongue:

Did you check them for stowaways? Maybe someone's trying to quietly infiltrate your port ;)

It crossed my mind so that's why they are still closed and under heavy guard.  :cap_rambo:

 

Trust no one, especially when it is nice and tempting ... :cap_hmm:

They guarantee 1 day of premium each. I stockpile them in case I ever want to activate just 1 day of premium at a time.

It's too bad we can't sort and selectively open the stored crates.

Btw I would want to be able to remove or disable the "Open all containers" button and I found it a bad change when they moved that button closer to the one which opens just the one container.

Did you accidentally open all of them?

No. But I did try to mod this myself, but it was some packed up flash or something which would have to be decompiled I presume.

My guesses would be that there's generally 2 possibilities which could do what I would want:

Either remove the button or change the link of this button to something hamrless. Or up the limit at which this button starts appearing (should be set to 3 or so crates by default) to something huuuge, like, say, 10000?

@MrConway @Crysantos

 

They were added (1 WG, 1 Soviet container) as compensation for the issue that we had 2 weeks ago where sometimes ships in battle would not move.

 

You're welcome :)

I just went to click this link on article and I got 1 day of premium. Strange. I thought this offer is for new WGC users only.
