Better value are Veteran Recruiting Station containers, since you can buy 10 of them for the same amount of points and they can drop T8 ships or even 30 days of premium

The veteran containers have a very short drop list for premium ships, around 4 to 5 ships only.

I thought the weighting had a short list and then would expand out to the full range, that the chances were not equal across all ships.

You can find one of the following rewards in a Veteran Recruiting Station container:

• A Premium ship: VI Duca d'Aosta, VII Ashitaka, VIII Kidd, VIII Prinz Eugen, or III Vampire; each with a Port slot and Commander with 10 skill points.

You can find one of the following rewards in the Seasoned Recruiting Station container:

• A Premium ship: VI Huanghe, III Katori, V Krasny Krym, VI Monaghan, or VI Mutsu; each with a Port slot and Commander with 10 skill points.

You can find one of the following rewards in the Junior Recruiting Station container:

• A Premium ship: III Aurora, V Marblehead Lima, II Mikasa, II Smith, or IV Yūbari; each with a Port slot and Commander with 10 skill points.

When you roll one of those, you get their Dubloon value.

Thanks for clarifying, I was confusing them with the xmas crates.

What's the stats for the Recruiting Station camouflages anyway?

Even though I've claimed countless recruiting crates for my recruits (I have to accept half the crates even though I don't really need them) I've never had these seemingly elusive camos drop from them.

see this is exactly it ... we cannot have one single source of information on a new thing, it has to be spread into multiple pieces so it is not easy to reference or follow ....

 

so in this article you (WG) presented some nice idea ... the problem is, we don't know if it won't be hosed in the next one ... like the achievements ... the initial idea was ok. however the followup articles and actual implementation were terrible for anybody except maybe coop players .....

It's not that easy - there are many different activities that can now give you this new currency, so it's challenging to put this all into one article. The idea behind this article was to inform you about the upcoming change and give you a general idea of what is happening and from what sources you can earn this currency. Next week we'll give you the details for Twitch Drops, the next PT article will have the details for the upcoming PT sessions, etc.

 

While some players might like to read up already on the details, others will be confused that this change isn't live yet.

 

Have a nice weekend :)

And some won't realize until the patch went live judging by the threads that were created on the Achievements page. Because people missed in the patch notes and the relevant detailed articles were no longer on the front site ....

 

So so far you have done only poorly on that front ...

That's your personal opinion and that's okay. I gave you our perspective and reasoning for not dropping all information into one publication a week before release. There will be information in-game and much more. Also this feature here has nothing to do with the achievements change and I'd suggest simply waiting for the articles as we've said in here before making a hasty assumption about what ifs and judge it then ;)

 

Once everything is live we'll create content page where you can find the general information about this currency and how to obtain it. Since specifics can change, we'll keep it there as a general hub for info and specifics for each campaign (be it Twitch Drops, PT or contests) will be in the related articles.

ok so what about the flags forr in game acheivements like double strike and such. now that getting an award in game is meaningless will be be given some of this new currency for getting the awards. since not every one is on twitch or public test or have any recruits?

 

what about those people? you know the majority

This change has absolutely nothing to do with the achievements change and what we're doing with Community Tokens is simply an expansion of the recruiting station currency, giving you more choices how you can spend this. It's free content, whether you want interact with these aspects like testing upcoming content, interacting with our community on Twitch, recruit new players to the game, etc. is completely up to you.

You can get a Tier V or VII premium ship guaranteed from the containers :)

@Crysantos
 

Seems the T5 and T7 containers now give a fixed amount of doubloons instead of an rng value depending on the ship you rolled for. I mean like when you have all ships that can drop normally you roll a ship and you get the doubloon value + the 10 point captain and port space. Now for the T5 it’s a fixed amount of 4K doubloons. More then the T5 dd value but way less then the T5 BB. And you lose the 10 point captain.
 

This also makes the T5 crate way more interesting ( 4K D) vs 8,5 D that the T7 crate can give which is 3 times more expensive in community points ( 10k vs 30k).

 

Can you explain the reason of this ( undocumented ) change?(-> fixed Doubloon compensation instead of rng roll)

 

 I am not complaining ( free doubloons yes please) but it’s a real change on how WG previously dealt with premium ship compensation in loot crates.

I am unhappy with the changes for public test rewards.

 

"Up to 4,500 from participating in the Public Test." you say but it is for obtaining ALL the rewards for BOTH test phases.

 

Before that I was happy with the signals and camo rewards for playing few battles. Then you made changes and rewards dropped now that.

 

Now it is too much time consuming to get those token : I will NOT grind battles on public test just for those tokens. 

 

I prefer to spend my free time and my motivation to play the game on the live server, thank you.

 

About token obtained via recruitment : except few exceptions like gaming families and such, it only favors abusers/multi accounts etc.
