[SM0KE] Verblonde Players 9,787 posts 20,656 battles Report post #4 Posted August 12, 2020 I too am basking in the munificence of the end reward for the latest directive. (Three flags too - I may even go back and maximise my engagement by counting all of them again). I'm guessing that WG aren't too worried about server numbers this summer, as so many folk are hiding from the pox at home (unlike a more usual year, when we'd all be doing things they disapprove of, like getting out in the fresh air etc.)... 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[GJE] dommo77 Players 939 posts 11,373 battles Report post #5 Posted August 12, 2020 Knowing that rewards are crap doesn't change the fact that they are exactly that - not very generous to say the least. You can guess what I got :D But - getting over this bitter disappointment ;) - it is after all free stuff after very easy missions, so no need to complain. I try not to expect anything, if I get something nice - good, if not - back to the game. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SINT] Jvd2000 Players 1,639 posts 31,167 battles Report post #12 Posted August 12, 2020 Well it’s good for the clanoil. A lot of crates ( both those with a chance ( lol) on either 3 premiums or Hipper) And the regular ones with two collection pieces. All not that grindy...as long as you don’t fool yourself by setting your expectations high on receiving a big prize it’s just all nice extra gifts.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[NAN0] HaachamaShipping Players 8,474 posts 10,052 battles Report post #15 Posted August 12, 2020 I don't even know what you folks are talking about or whether I got anything. I know there's a collection for alternative camo and second flag, there are containers that may contain something decent but mostly contain signals, but even those I get on the sidelines. Everything else, dunno. I feel like I'm having a happier time though not caring about the quality (or lack thereof) of free stuff I get for playing. No, really, if this was about Odin missions that gave 10k credits, maybe, but even then, you either do it for the ship or just don't bother too much. I feel there's too many things in the game that are frustrating (like detonating in my Goliath yesterday. Why Detonations in 2020 still?) to look for extra stuff to rant about.

Well to be fair, the wherboos are so excited by all there imaginary ships they must think they had moved to Russia.

[EMPOR] _DemonGuard_ Players 982 posts Report post #22 Posted August 13, 2020 Supplies were pretty scarce for germany in WWII, so handing out some easy to produce signal flags instead of more expensive/needed things to the troops seems historically accurate. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's all free stuff and it's all bonus, no matter how small the rewards. But when WG decided to do RNG and say there's a chance for a big reward, you can't really blame people for hoping to get one of those better rewards. I mean, it's probably the trick WG uses to encourage people to do these objectives. They could've just taken out all the RNG lootboxes and give flags as a final reward for the objectives, but I guess that'd result in less people playing (and probably less people paying...). So yeah, I guess those flags I got from those RNG containers are a nice bonus, but it's not what I hoped for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd take a screen shot and make it into your desktop wallpaper so you get reminded of your good fortune every time you see your desktop. No, I didn't do that - I did get three camos rather than flags. P.S. I'm sure the spreadsheet shows we're all estatic with the results. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is a valid point, although I'm not too narked myself (pi$$-taking post earlier notwithstanding). As it stands, there seem to be two general rewards: Expensive ship (vanishingly unlikely). Spectacularly inexpensive flags or similar (*very* likely). Given WG's usual "YAY, EVERYONE - YOU COULD WIN A SHIP! HURRAH! Although you'll actually get flags." approach to the marketing of this event, it's not surprising that a certain amount of sarcasm may have broken out. If it had been me designing this, I might have gone with the present mechanic, but have inserted some T5-6 silver ships and/or T2-3 premiums as a sort of 'mid case' prize (with suitable probabilities). WG still don't have to give out - to them - excessive high end ship numbers, but there is a better motive to get people to play (that doesn't really cost them anything - I imagine the real money income from the minor ships will not even get to you to the door of Madam Olga's), and less mickey-taking from the players...
