My thoughts exactly.. While it's certainly a compelling offer, the thought of the upcoming captain rework, subs, CVs etc. is kinda putting me off Well, I have 69 days of prem. time anyway, I'll stick with that for the time being 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[EON] The_Finnster Players 190 posts 23,893 battles Report post #5 Posted December 31, 2020 I’ve bought these offers in the past but this year? No thanks....subs, cvs and a captain skill rework whose only function is to gouge you into more grinding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[WCBG] BrusilovX Beta Tester 2,838 posts 23,907 battles Report post #8 Posted December 31, 2020 Somehow I've still got 582 days left. I always thought that subs may be the final nail in the coffin for me playing this game but hearing about that captain rework (where for some builds a 21 point captain will perform the same as a 19 point captain) may well beat subs. It's a no from me this year. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[CMWR] Lootboxer Players 3,817 posts 21,306 battles Report post #9 Posted December 31, 2020 Since I had some of doubloons left I've got 1y premium. Still better then one t8 ship or whatever stupid . Premium time will help me to grind subs faster and to be a menace to both teams at the same time - clearly it's a win win scenario (If I can't have fun, lets ruin it for all at least) But that is only if those subs will be at least as fun and engaging as CVs or those boring new US BBs. Otherwise I can't see myself struggling through lines. I know that I am probably going to be disappointed here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MacFergus Beta Tester 1,067 posts 4,880 battles Report post #16 Posted December 31, 2020 Was rather lucky managed to get 90 days free prem from free crates but apart from that I wont be spending a penny till they sort CVs and reconsider the crappy captain rework. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did think about not bothering to remind people at all, but thought that there may still be a few souls about whose cynicism vis-a-vis WG has yet to reach my levels. These sorts of offers have tended to get pulled quite quickly in the past... If WG do want to pay me, they could most usefully do so for fixing their appalling marketing copy; I could produce English copy for things like BF crates and Satan boxes that reduced complaints by at least 75% in about five minutes. Without trying very hard. With a hangover of such epic proportions that it could be clearly observed from Pluto. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[1FA] pWnZoMg Beta Tester 32 posts 8,511 battles Report post #23 Posted December 31, 2020 I've stopped buying anything WG have to offer. Didn't even buy crates on WoT, which I did ever since they were introduced. Stopped playing there because of "special" ammo spammage in every tier played. Here, the overpowered CV, now captain "rework" and introducing the submarines... Not looking good. WG enjoys rebalancing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
