I hardly play anymore due to the game being a complete cash grab now and giving very little in return.

However did i read correct that in order to get one of the T9 DD's that will eventually become a Tech Tree ship we will need to buy up to 52,000 Dubs.

Has this game finally lost the plot or are WG just seeing how far they can push ripping the arse out of their players before they get a massive backlash.

Please tell me i am wrong.

Only when you want to spend that much.

And for some reason there are players willing to spend as much.

If people want to waste their money let them. Also, I'm pretty sure the 50k doubs is the extreme worse case scenario which almost nobody will get. At least it's been with all the other early access ships.

Depends a bit (in a similar way to how the North Atlantic is a 'bit' damp) on luck: I got whatever the T9 silver thing is for 1,500 doubloons on my alt account, by the simple expedient of it being in the first bundle that I opened.

 

I haven't done the maths, but I presume the 52K is if you open all the 1,500 doubloon bundles and you get the silver T9 in the last one?

 

If you're talking about the dockyard, of course, that's an entirely different kettle of fish - the ship from that is a premium, not to mention a different mechanic...

Not lost the plot, just WG lost any respectability and just a bunch of greedy ******, staffed by yes men/woman of questionable virtue !

Players can't trust WG anymore after all the crap they have pulled in the past. Who but them know if they didn't "tweak" the odds that the T9 will in the majority of cases only appear after a certain amount (maybe >50%) of random bundles were opened?

Anyone who is spending money, especially a lot of it, for early access to mediocre tech tree ships should maybe get some help, because this is not what a rational thinking adult would ever do.

Unless they are wealthy enough that those 50k dubs are just chump change. Who are we to judge what an rational adult is.

Okay, I can be bothered (on a break between spreadsheets): 35 bundles, at 1500 doubloons apiece, gives 52,500 doubloons in total if you get the T9 silver DD in the last bundle. That's of the order of a hundred and fifty quid in UKP...!

 

I definitely can't be bothered to work out the permutations on what you can get with the tokens that have doubloon value (permaflages mainly, unless you count dragon flags, which I don't really).

 

BTW I had a light whale myself (yes, I know, a fool and his money...) and got 11 bundles; of those, roughly twenty-something percent were worthless (single-use cammo) besides the tokens, and the rest were dragon flags (which I do actually want, hence the whaling). I did get enough tokens to unlock the T7 (Z-31?), and after a couple of Random games in her my feeling is she's rather like a cr4p Z-39; so, if you do want to spend money on something Teutonic, most people will do better just buying Z-39 outright...

You are wrong getting a T9 DD 2 months earlier is worth it to some, most sane people wont even consider that...

You are wrong.

 

I did use doubloons but it cost 1500. Seemed an ok deal. 
 

perhaps you could explain the 52000 dubs ref?

Presumably it's the total cost of having to purchase every single bundle in  there.

Yup: 52,500 to be precise (it's buried in my post #11)...

Can't really say, kind of lost interest at the thousands separator.

 

TBH, I recommend cherry picking the dockyards and events you actually think are worth you time to pursue. I'm personally not going to bother with this one.

Who says these are all adults? This game is rated 7 and up.

Wasn't in my first 1500 doubloon bundle so I won't be buying any this time around, saving the doubloons for the superior ZF-6 instead.

Okay, here is the trick: wait, play the game and relax.

Makes life much easier.

 

And, I can tell you a secret: Yessss, it definitely become a tech tree ship, but psssst - don't tell it anybody else. Haha,  all these losers who spend hundreds of Euros for nothing but being first. King crap.
