Separate sale of AL camos

I'm certainly not the only one who wanted to buy a specific one of these AL camos and had to find out that a part of them is only being sold in the big bundles.

I guess the plan here is to get people to buy these big bundles just for that one camo.

 

The truth is however, that - even though I would probably be considered a "whale" - I do not want that big AL bundle.

So in the end, WG is just missing out with their greedy attitude.

 

Maybe you can pass this along as feedback @MrConway @Crysantos.

On the topic of camoflages, it's nice to bundle commanders with camoflages. Because while Third Wave certainly would have been a worthwhile investment otherwise, having to pay for a Belfast camo without owning a Belfast and no chance to get one short of being extremely lucky and/or extremely whale is a bit irritating. WG, while it's nice that there is a Belfast camo, could you please acknowledge that your own botched balancing job has made it virtually impossible for the average player to get this ship and thus worthless to buy a bundle including such a camo?

Again overpriced bundles for capitains. I just want only Belfast and Atago ( as I very like them in Azur Lane ) but I will for not pay big bundle of few other capitains which I had from long time ( and I had them at 19 points )

 

Littorio in warship bundle or as drop in container. I do not need second Roma but I think I can risk few containers. I'll just wait for more info because maybe missions for free capitains will be availaible. Littorio, Jean Bart, Sovetskaya Rossiya or Yat Sen as possible capitains could be worth gamble of three containers but still double Azuma or Roon seems to me as rather unworth to do this.

Enterprise camo at least isn't bundled with the captains. If it wasn't for Belfast camo, Third Wave bundle would actually make some sense, giving all new captains (and two camos that still may be unnecessary, but at least people can actually buy those ships).

The price for the Atago camo is also rather spicy - almost as much as for a T10 premium camo. If it at least gave better modifiers than the the plain -10%/+50%...

I do not get it, what is a purpose of having ANOTHER camo for ANY ship?

Belfast, Atago etc. comes with a camo. If I could use the camo on any other ship (like xmas camos etc) then I would be tempted.

As it is I will consider captains as it looks like not everything is for IJN.

 

Again people stay away from the boxes, or do not come here complaining :)

Do you have shirts in different colors, and do you like one shirt more than another shirt, or is that all purposeless to you?

Shirts can be damaged, stolen, misplaced, dirty and so on. So it is reasonable to have a spare one. Additionally you do not want to wash same shirt every day to have it fresh next day.

Just do not speak if you have nothing to say.

TLDR; you would wear the same shirt every day if you could, and you wouldn't care what it looked like? 

(Maybe I need to explain this for you: even if people use just one camo, maybe they like the AL camo better.) 

 

And is that last sentence supposed to insult me? How pathetic are you?

You are giving unrelated example as an answer and ask such question, interesting.

 

You do understand that real life stuff has nothing to do with in game items.

That is a possibility but does that not lower value of an item if the ONLY gain is cosmetic change?

If I could sell the previous one and buy new one, that is other story.

Some people's stupidity is beyond me...

 

Did you ever consider that a cosmetic item might be interesting to someone else, even though you don't care about it?

I am asking people who do believe that to what purpose they would need/want/use many camos.

It looks better on screenshots, maybe it is clearer on stream or just has brighter colours?

That is my question what is a purpose of having more than one camo for any ship if they give same benefits.

 

Yet you say plenty not even close to my question.

I have tried to explain it to you, but I guess you just don't even want to try to understand.

 

The reason why people want to wear clothes that they like is the same reason why they want to have a camo that they like.

It is not "unrelated" as you claim, you just don't get it.

Just from curiosity I bought 2 containers. Got Yat Sen and Sovetskaya Rossiya. Not bad.

 

Considering fact that I mainly play Pan Asia ships on operations ( Huang He, Anshan and Fushun ) with Quang Rong and Da Rong 19 points Special Capitains I will must find other command for her.

 

I have Viktor Znamyensky on Stalingrad ( as his skills seems to be more beneficial on CB than skills of Nicolai Kuznetsov due to not working Special Talents ) and Nicolai Kuznetsov is on Sovetskiy Soyoz in way to the Kremlin so I think Miss Sovetskaya Rossiya can without hesitation obtain command of Izmail in Operations.

This. I would happily pay for the Hipper camo but it is in a bundle of things I already mostly have and won't be buying. 

 

I did get the Dunk camo for Dunk to Dunk around in, though.

This. I can understand the Belfast camo being sold separately -- and it is -- but including it in the bundle of captains when most players don't and can't have the Belfast means you're paying for something you can't actually use, which is a bit of a rum do.

 

Would have been nice to buy the captains individually rather than through lootboxes. I would like a few captains -- Baltimore, Roon, Jean Bart -- but knowing my luck I'll end up with 5 Shokakus and 1 Littorio. Will wait to see if there is a mission for a free captain before buyign any lootboxes. 

 

I'd love to buy some the AL stuff but the bundles and lootboxes aren't making it easy!

The difference is that you are forced to wear clothes by law, and you are not forced to have a camo.

Any comparison to real life has nothing to do to with in game items.

You are forced to wear clothes, you pick ones that you like, reasonable. What this has to do with camos?

Another option would be that you have Asperger syndrome (in which case I would apologize, but I could never in this world make you understand why the other people do what they do). 

 

But I think you are nothing but a troll.

Many thanks :)

 

It is a bit annoying they've added Azuma to the loot crates with the 7 new commanders, when Azuma was available for free before. 

 

But anyway - I can't help myself and have bought a few crates... Will see what I get when I get home--3 Azumas, probably!
