I'm afraid some people sit there in a WG T-Shirt and attack anyone who falls from the true path, your lucky you didn't get a Chart or Graph 

Even better, WG ignores this targeted harassment and hate of these t-shirt people towards any customer who is within his or her rights to ask questions about  WG's fraudulent Black Friday practices, Not a very good environment, and not a game I would recruit anyone for as it is now...

 

Of course I tried to adress this in a cordial way, first,  sending a community manager a PM about this , but of course I got as much silence as there is in a particularly starless section of our galaxy.

New black ships, containers, and special bundles with big discounts!

Read it on the portal

WG can you make two easy changes in game :

1.st make mission breffing after game , dont overlap right side of screen , because is annoying ,

when after playing few matches in a row ,and choseing battle directly from match end stats ,

I need to wait literally 30s to 1min , to could do something , because mission breffings ,

just keep poping up, can you add option in game so player can chose if want to see that .

2nd. Change container area , so player could chose witch container whant to open ,

because now is just random , I see first container , open it and I only have button

"open container" but I dont see container , or/and  make container inventory/groups ,

like , one for regular containers , one for SC , one for special containers black

friday/chritmas.

Because now after I open one container , I need to leve container area , and get in

agan every time when I open new container , and that can be annoying , mostly in

anniversary and christmas time , when there is a loot of containers involed .

You need to have original Tirpitz first and then if you get Tirpitz B that's when the mission for original Tirpitz will become available.

Not entirely true, he gets the mission, but he failed to see the requirements for the mission: You can ONLY do this with the non-B version of Tirpitz. It's a way to get monkeys like me to shell out year after year for the same ships.. You know, I have the last 2 bundles of ships, but this year, I thought, you know what? Nahhhhhh I have too many ships.

 

The crates have 2 items worth 1250 dubs (camoflage both of them) and two worth more (35k free exp is 1400 doubloons with 25:1, worse with 35:1 :-)) and 14 days = 2500 doubloons. The prizes are of course the black ships.. But, just based on the extremely poor drop chance.. about 5% for a ship, this is not worth it at all. And the compensation rules are slightly odd.. you can get the ships you have but will only receive 2500 doubloons as compensation, right... This is much worse than the already crap compensation rules.. 

 

Morale? STAY AWAY, DO NOT PURCHASE!!!!

I got the Massachusetts B from a Black Friday container. With the ship comes a special combat mission that once is completed I get 2500 doubloons. In order to finish the mission I have to win 5 battles in Random, or Co Op, or Scenario, or Ranked. I played and won those 5 battles , but it shows 0 from 5 in the completion bar.
Is this a glitch, am I missing or doing something wrong??? I played all battles with Massachusetts B in Random and Co Op, I also singed out and back in but still 0 from 5

 

Disregard my post, I just read the Tirpitz post above. Same thing applies to all missions for B ships I asume.

But I couldn't find where does it say that you need the normal ship. I find it really stupid to have to buy the premium version if you already own the B one, the only difference is the paint. WG logic, Money, Money Money !!!

Jeeze. how hard is English to understand? It's every year, It's written in PLAIN english, you need the original ships, NOT the black ships, to do the missions.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I bet WG does this and then at their christmas party they show the most hilarious complaints. 

 

Seriously, I've done something similar myself, not read it properly,  but I was the first poster, not even an excuse, but you should have read the 4 pages of text here before you managed to complain..

Sorry, is it real joke? how they both related? And why I need 2 of the same ships in this case???

Unfortunately, that's not joke. I don't even understand why that should be the case. No one, but no one buys a premium ship twice, I think. 

That’s right, though it would have been nicer if everyone got the opportunity for the missions. Maybe we could get it for Christmas...

Happy Advent to everyone

Huge ships which never were painted black irl - we get them in black.

They look hideous and i am happy we have a filter to hide them.

 

The V-25 and G-101 which spent their careers being painted black overall, can we get them in black? - wut who cares about low tiers (and DDs on top)

Or can we get Japanese navy vessels in light gray, almost white? As they were irl? - pfffft white not coooool enuff ya

 

Regarding the event itself, I will have a look and maybe buy some boxes.

Travelling is not possible these days and some surplus money accumulated. So whatever...

GL to all gamblers!

Well, you can still paint V-25 abd G-101 in black with black consumable camouflage:

Consumable camo...

 

I mean really...?

 

Why not make a simple perma camo for these dudes? V-170 needs it as well btw 

 

 

(if you want to be really crazy you can paint the aft smokestack red - the HSF used to do that while at sea)

Well, I saw plenty comments mentioning, that they recieved plenty of that consumable camo, so there is one "historical" usage of them

 

But on the other hand, what would be the real usage of such a permacamo. How many players you think would use it?

Good question. I don’t know considering that it is almost impossible to get a T2 match these days. I would use it on V-170 though as T4 is at least somewhat populated. 
 

It’s probably more of a niche thing but also pretty quick and easy to produce I assume as the camo itself is already existing 

 

And Tbh I already use that consumable camo for exactly this purpose and I absolutely love the looks. It adds loads of immersion for me at least.

No. I will not buy expensive +100% camos and burn them on a T2-ship.

But I would pay 500db once to have black permacamo on the T2 ship.

Why?

´cos history.

 

And if anyone finds my stance strange: this game claims to be based on historic units which did exist. So please, i want them as they looked back then. This is not space-ships (yet).

Hello all

Please be careful when decide to buy Massachusetts B battleship this Black Friday. In description mentioned that you will receive 2500 doubloons for 1st 5 victories. I bought it, won co-op, received nothing. Logged ticket to support.

I had the same problem with all my new black ships .

then reading the forum I understood what was MY mistake..

Hello and thanks for help.

Certainly some time I do the same mistake ...  not reading the entire x pages in order to see if someone else smarter than me as already figured out the solution...

However I would like to know why the 2.5 mission CANNOT be activated by the shining new BLACK ship. 

Since some time WG has establish the practice that when a player buy a premium ship receive also a special mission (+ XP/ + Free XP / + Capt training points etc). 

Therefore is quite normal to fall into mistake when you buy a black ship and than you find out that you have to play the mission with the "old" NON black ship 

I understand the logic is to double reward those who already bought the original one, and I like it cause it is one of the few time that "old timer" and big collector get rewarded.

But the mission could be unlocked under the same condition (having both ships) and still be played with the new black one. 

Now I am in the absurd / weird situation where I have my new shining black JB BUT I have to play my old normal one...to get 2500 dobloon and 25K coal (that was a real surprise .. very generous reward )

I must have been very lucky then..

 

Bought a bundle of 10 prem black containers for 34,89 Euro.

Got 3 Ships Jean Bart , Atlanta and Cossack

2x 35K Free XP and rest were camos..

if you consider that I already had all 3 ships now I also have 7500 dobloons that I can earn through mission. 

the 3 ships discounted (now in blacK market) amount to Jean Bart 54 € + Cossack 22 € +Atlanta 21€ = 97 € + 7500 Gold =24 € = 121 € Value which as I said costed me 34€ 

This time I cannot really complain. 

In general in my 5 years experience the black market containers are the best value for money. OFC you can get more or less lucky but you will receive always more vaule of what you pay.

Problem is, I have tons of empathy, but not for ignorance or lack of effort.

Bought a couple of the 250 dubloons boxes via the armory: Got a tier 7 Scharnhorst B, which I am quite happy about. But rest assured ye veterans; as I am only at T5 in the regular tech tree, I will reserve playing my German battleship in Randoms mode until I reach t7 in the tech tree. Sure looks pretty though. :-)

Well I can only tell you, that I can try to suggest that, as imo it should be easy to make and there is a demand for that. Even though something is telling me, that this won't happen, especially because of the fact it is basically the lowest tier ships. And afaik, we neved did permacamo for tier II or III tech tree ships...
