Hi all,

 

WG: Why are the actual values for "Guaranteed Drops" removed form the official article where all container types are listed?

 

 

"Container Contents and Drop Chances"

 

https://worldofwarships.eu/en/content/contents-and-drop-rates-of-containers/

 

 

There used to be info for each applicable container - for example the "Supercontainer":

 

Quote

However, Supercontainers have the guaranteed drop mechanic applied: You are guaranteed to find an item from the "Tier X or Rare Ship," "Tier VIII–IX Ship," or "Tier V–VII Ship" groups in the 166th container of this type if an item from these groups does not drop after you open 165 Supercontainers. The guaranteed drop count of a particular group resets after an item from this group is dropped. The drop chances of the items are indicated without taking this mechanic into account because it simply forces a certain item to drop, regardless of the random factor.

 

Now that info is gone... :Smile_amazed:

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't recall the info with the exact values ever being present on the Container Contents and Drop Chances page - only the general information on how the mechanic works.

It would probably also make the article pretty cluttered, as the info would have to be added for pretty much every individual container.

 

I had only seen it as additional info in the armory or premium shop before.

 

However, I would definitely welcome it, if it was added to the overview page, to have all the relevant information in one spot.

Agreed. It's vital information in order to achieve full transparency. 

 

Plus, it actually makes the containers slightly less of a gamble, and thus slightly more valuable. So I'd say that's win-win situation for both WG and it's customers.

There were... here is the EXACT text that was used for some:

 

#1 Supercontainer

#2 Veteran Recruiting Station Container

However, Veteran Recruiting Station containers have the guaranteed drop mechanic applied: You are guaranteed to find an item from the "Ships" group in the 62nd container of this type if an item from this group does not drop after you open 61 Veteran Recruiting Station containers. The guaranteed drop count of a particular group resets after an item from this group is dropped. The drop chances of the items are indicated without taking this mechanic into account because it simply forces a certain item to drop, regardless of the random factor.

Now don't stress, it's only been 4 months since you asked, not even half a year. 

And they were already happy that it was forgotten.

 

:Smile_trollface:

 

PS: I think you should actually ping Sera again since he obviously forgot.

The info is in the tooltip when you hover the cursor over the info symbol next to the " The container includes X item(s)" text.

Interesting that they put it there though... :Smile_hiding:
