New Year/Christmas Event gave for each TX Small Santa Container, Steel for each TVIII-IX and Coal for each TV-VII

 

Anniversary Event always gave Supercontainer for each TX and Tokens or one use camouflages for TV-IX tiers ( this varied with each year )

I am actually surprised we get no special treatment for Superships.

 

Apart from that:

Every anniversary the same post. 

Coal/Steel is only on Christmas! You can just expect SCs, anniversary containers etc.

I don't mind the lower tier rewards being comparatively poor; having zero impulse control on the ships front means I've got far too many of the things in port, and this means I don't use all my free time up trying to avoid missing rewards.

 

The bonus rewards thing is a nice addition; I guess WG are trying to encourage people to avoid simply rinsing Coop to get their rewards as quickly as possible (won't work on me - there be submarines in Randoms - but still).

Okay, I am gonna be the special one. I actually like this event. Also that Battleship minigame could stay in the client, it wouldn't kill you. Also could add the possibility to play against someone randomly or based on an Elo-like system. Or just you know, against a friend?

 

Also that Sinop camo made me cooooomeeeeee.

Eh ... yeah i will most likely burn past the ships in co-op too, most ships i have in port just for the rewards are not equiped and commanded by a 1 pt cpt  so they wouldnt gain all that good of a base exp anyways .. and some of them i just hate too.

So we will get 1 SC for each supership we have.

Well, that is better than some other type of container which would be very useless. This way at least we get extra SC.

But it doesn't make sense to have the same reward for superships as for TX ships.

 

Can't we get 2 SC for superships? :cap_popcorn: @YabbaCoe

2 supercontainers for superships would be fair. Kinda expected that, but sadly thats a nope

 

Curious if T7 - Sinop, Mahan, Eendrach will get permanent economic boost along with permacamo?

I will just sell my T4s, so I drop below 200 ships, do my 400 BXP in coop, and buy the T4s back. Should be a matter of 1 or 2 days to get the roughly 1k bonus thingies, which means I will be stacked for life. :Smile_honoring:

Another take/question:

 

I have 26x-something ships in my port and by re-purchasing t1-t4 ships I could get above 300 ships.

Would this be worth it?

 

It's gonna cost me mayhaps a couple of millions of credits but that I got covered.

It's more the 800 xp threshold movin up to 1000 xp --- but a the same time being able to get 3 instead of 2 "bonus stars".

 

Do it? Don't do it?

Having a bunch more low tier ships wont make it so you have more rewards, its just knocking out your rewards will be quicker. I feel like people are reading this dev blog wrong. You dont get more bonus stars because you have hundreds of ships, its just you can knock out multiple ones simultaneously the more ships you have. Presumably because people with 400 ships cant get through it all otherwise

It is not stated explicitly, but I would assume, that the bonus stars are also staggered.

If you have 150 ships, it is irrelevant if you achieve 400, 1000 or 2000 base points . You will get one bonus star.

If you have e.g. 450 ships, you get more bonus stars for better results, but the base xp are no threshold. Means, for 1100 base xp you get all four bonus gifts, but for a battle with just 900 base xp, you get "only"two bonus gifts.  The guy with "just" 150 ships would get for the same results (1100/900) just his one bonus star.

Of course, just my 2 cents (and I hope that I am right...).

I would wait for the final announcement. Last year we had time to blow off all snowfalkes for nearly two updates (approx. 7/8 weeks IIRC).

With the new system WG might cut this back two one update. Then you should decide, how often you can play and if the increase to 300 ships  would save an significant amount of "unnecessary" games.

Are they? I mean depends on how you read the article, but remember how the last two years worked?

 

2020: 2 WoWs camos for every T5-7 snowflake (100XP, 100FXP)

2021: 1 Token, you could buy a unlimited amount of camos for 1 token each. So on a first glance half of 2020 gains, yet you did also needed those tokes for the collection containers and other stuff, so actually the amount of camos most players got even if they dusted of all the snowflakes was less camos than their amount of t5-7 ships

 

2022: One special booster crate per T5-7 ships... and the descripions says:

 

"Special bonuses" container includes Level 2 bonuses, five of each type: +40% Credits, +200% Ship XP, +200% Commander XP, +600% Free XP;

"Special bonuses" container includes Level 2 bonuses, five of each type: +40% Credits, +200% Ship XP, +200% Commander XP, +600% Free XP;

So for my understanding that's 5 of each = 20 T2 boosters per T5-7 ships. Even if my understanding would be off and it's one set of 5 out of 4 T2 Booster categories, it would still be better than what we got last year for t5-7.

Here's a quick calculation of my whale collection:

 

T5-T7 - 890 level 2 bonuses of each type.

T8-9 - 720 level 2 bonuses of each type.

Total - 1610 level 2 bonuses of each type.

 

T8-T9 - 432 Level 3 bonuses of each type.

 

T10 - 61 SCs

 

That's a massive load of the green boosters, I will be able to run them all the time in randoms/ranked now. Hell, even in coop.

The blue ones will be tricky. Save for captain XP I'm not rich on them. The fXP ones will have to be doled out a bit.

 

It's much better than what we got in the previous 2 years.
