[I-B-S] The_Angry_Admiral Players 1,173 posts Report post #1 Posted October 16, 2021 Well I had some spare doubloons and figured I would buy two German Containers. I open the first one and a ship and a 10 point commander pop up so I get real excited. I have a look at what I got and it's the only Tech Tree ship in the list. Is this some sort of two finger salute to it's player base? Why would you be such a [edited] that you put on ship I could technically get for free amongst premium ones? Why do that? 6 7 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just thinks it's a pretty bad move to be honest. Why? If you don't have it you don't need to grind until T8. Also you can see all available ships before you buy them, so you know what you can get. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course WoWS being WoWS Z-31 went and gave me a 120k damage game as a going away present while knocking off her snowflake.. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[BASIC] koliber_1984 Players 1,113 posts 27,807 battles Report post #17 Posted October 16, 2021 It's not the first time WG is doing this. Pro tip for the future: Read an article about content you're willing to purchase before wasting money on it, use free exp for tech-tree drops (if not having them ofc) to avoid dropping them...

First WG created awesome events with access to new ship lines. Completely for free without any loot boxes. Play some time and get access to tier 8, awesome times. Then they realized players are stupid enough to gamble for tech tree ships and literally throw a fortune at them just so they can be the cool dudes playing a new ship line early. Then WG launches auctions were players bid absurd amounts of dubloons for an early access tech tree ship. And now we are at a point where the premium ship selection for gambling boxes is reduced and a tech tree ship is being added. Don't you see a certain scheme? I will tell you: Take more and more steps to milk the playerbase, because they are foolish enough to play along and after they got their russian reach****** they happily stand in line to get some more. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Opened a container and got the immelman. Also got the Brandenberg from another after opening a few more. Definitely can't complain about the drop rate or my luck in this at least. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Litigo Players 90 posts 53 battles Report post #25 Posted October 16, 2021 OP should be grateful. I purchased 45 of the Premium German Battleship containers, and ended up with exactly ZERO ships. Be very careful with these containers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
