[BYOB] Aragathor Players 7,047 posts 32,314 battles Report post #4 Posted December 7, 2022 WG really had to get creative to stuff the boxes with useless garbage. Can't have nice things. Luckily I'm only going for the mega boxes from T10 certificates. I'd rather buy skins in Darktide. 7 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just view them as silver i.e. a largely 'worthless' drop. Speaking of worthless, I note that there are two (?) submarines lurking in the ship lists - at least, in previous years, any ship that dropped might at least get an occasional run-out for snowflakes at a minimum. Now I have to potentially wade through a pair of entirely useless (for me, others' MMV) ships before I get something I actually will use... 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get your attitude, but frankly I have so many ships that most are port queens anyway: if I can't get something "prestigious", like a Benham or a Giulio Cesare (a guy can dream...), I'd rather have a sub that was built in steel over most paper ships, or worse a WG fantasy design. I'm not exactly a "collector", but I do prioritize real ships in general: I got Sherman as soon as I won that coal auction and Tromp is also a no-brainer. I was more conflicted about the Bazan, for instance. I'd probably play neither very much, but I'd prefer an I-56 over, say, a Brandenburg or a Florida.

I have to admit that - assuming the Mockers Gods hate me and I get both submarines - I'm quite looking forward to looking around the models; although I'm unlikely to play the damn things, the work that comes out of WG's art department is usually top-notch. I find real submarines fascinating, which probably contributes to why WG's approach to them irritates me so much. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[SM0KE] Verblonde Players 9,787 posts 20,656 battles Report post #10 Posted December 7, 2022 BTW - kind of a PSA, although I suspect most on here will already be aware: should anyone be thinking of getting the 'super-duper bestest' version of the new battle pass (whatever it's called - the one that gives you an extra bonus to coal/steel earned), it's probably worth doing it *before* opening any crates, or doing dockyard missions that award resources - I don't know if the bonus is applied retrospectively, but guess that it isn't... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those are made well indeed (Riddick style googles for Ogryn ftw), but before I consider that, it would be nice if they would throw more missions in and optimize the game a bit.

[DK-MK] Varian_Dorn Players 804 posts 19,917 battles Report post #16 Posted December 8, 2022 Would the gentlemen who so eagerly discuss geography kindly make their own thread for that? On topic: 16% chance for a ship. Considering my haul from last year its safe for me to say that the last few empty spots from the ship list will be filled, accompanied by lots of valueable resources. The only thing from the drop list I won´t really need is premium time - got quite the supply of that already. And to give credit where credit is due: thanks @22cm for the info, appreciate it.

Some people may already have too many ships, so if you try to get ships there's probably only very limited reasons for doing it in such a case.
