Depending on the number of T10 plus some odd container given by WG during the DY grind and side missions we all receive a ( small or large) free roll on WG rng gamble circus.


So before we turn our certificates into Santa crates next friday at 06.01 hrs what do YOU expect / hope what you will get. What outcome would make you happy, what outcome would make think meh etc? Which outcome would make you to want to grab a bottle of vodka..

 

For me I have 33 certificates to burn. Those will be turned into 6 mega and 1 big container.  With still 6 ships missing in the lower tiers my expectation / hope is to receive 1 T6/T7 premium ship plus maybe something different ( coal/ doubloons) then just the rest being camo’s and flags.

 

To put it into graphics:
 

only camo’s &flags —> :Smile-angry:

Atleast 1x doubloons —> :Smile_amazed:

1x Premium ship ( low tier) rest camo/ flags —> :Smile_honoring:

1x premium ship + 1x  coal/ doubloons  rest camo/ flags—> :Smile_great:

2 premium ships (even low tier) —> :Smile_medal:

Anything above this —> :Smile_glasses:

My expectations?

Logging in on Friday, exchanging my certificates for containers, openening them, selling the signals and camos for credits, logging off, playing WT until 0.11.12 and subsequently checking if there are signs of sanity returning to WoWs.

Unfortunately, painfully true. WG all too predictable on that score :Smile_sceptic:

I'm not too fussed about what comes out of the freebie crates, as it's all just bonus stuff anyway. I've a slightly better chance of getting a ship than not getting one, in a vaguely plausible scenario I'd get a ship or two and ideal result would be a worthwhile quantity of premium time; I've not bought any in a couple of years so have nearly run out.

My expectation is flags. Lots and lots of flags.

 

What I'd like? Premium time, I think. Any ships are welcome, of course, but I don't care about any.

 

Well, that's not true. I would like to try out Småland and Enterprise, but I do not expect those to ever drop. Anything else... it's free, so I am not going to complain.

Define free?

 

I've got myself 40 certificates that I'm gonna trade for 8 mega-O-box and see what that brings. Don't really expect miracles, but hey you never know.

 

But given WGs miscalculation I've been able to collect 4xt5 ship containers for naval community tokens during the year, and since I've had all the t5 boats that those boxes could drop it was an easy 16k dubs right there. Naturally that revenue stream stopped, cuz we cant have the plebs gettin' free dubs now can we?

Those I'm contemplating handing back for even more mega-O-boxes ---- I just wanna see the price at first. Maybe it's gonna be medium-O-boxes instead.

I'd take a Saipan. I hear it's a challenging CV to play well.

If, and a big "if", I get any premium ship it'll probably be

a) Murmansk - so that WG can complete my Omaha clone collection (Marblehead is my 3rd most played ship)

b) Makarov - for the inevitability meme

c) One of the CVs - because I just love to play those :Smile_sceptic:

 

There's plenty of mid tier (T5 & 6) ships in the drop list that I don't yet own, so I'm not expecting anything from the higher tiers.

Would be delighted if I did though.

With two of them being tier 8. That's like 3 tier 6 ones for each.

 

I only got 4 tier 6 ships in 6 years (one of them being today)
