Next premium battlepass? Will you get it?

Until you realize you payed like 30 bucks for your next coal ship that would have been actually for free if you waited.

Same goes for the early access rewards

It's just digital in game make believes that have 0 real world values, plus it requires you to spend many hours to obtain after giving WG real money. 

 

If you think they are worth it, then that's good, but if you step back and look at it objectively, you can't say WG in game resources are good value when they are worthless outside this game as you have nothing to compare them to. 

I suppose you can say that for any in-game reward : be it a resource (like RB points) or a T7 Premium ship (ala 1st BP).

 

I'm 17.7k RP points away from Ohio, the the final reward would get me most of the way there.

But, as @Farheim pointed out, RB is a long grind. So I've waited this long - I can wait a bit longer...

It's like 700k free xp, that can only be used for RB ships and upgrades. Along with another 2k RB, 2k steel and 30-40k coal is a great deal for 2500 dubs

It may be for people who play more then average and get all stages anyway. For me it's no longer interesting.

 

I did the first two passes, with ingame earned dubloons actually. I then learned that I don't like game enough anymore to be playing that much. This pass, which I didn't buy, I still played more then I normally would but was disregarding the pass, and I noticed I got to stage 26. So no, it's not a great deal when you take all costs into account for my part, like losing time better spent on practicing my instruments and DAW or other fun stuff.

 

I don't mind the pass though, especially buying it after you got all stages anyway. That's actually a nice feature.

I'm curious how many empty phases will be this time in free battle pass? Let me guess? Half? Asking seriously with some sarcasm too.

 

Let me guess, devs trying to calculate how much less they can "give" in battle pass before people will stop p(l)aying? This pass is hard pass for me 

[ReverendFlashback]

First pass was the best with a (imo) pretty fun T7 premium plus the goodies.

Second one was already worse because it was a gamble. But your mileage may vary, depending on what you got from the lootboxes.

3 and 4 are big nopes and I'm kinda sad they were, because this is a expensive game and first two bps where pretty much the only somewhat reasonabley priced thing in this game. (around the price of a dlc actually)

No wonder bp was trashed, it was too good for a wg game.

[Wulf_Ace]

well I spend my doublons earned in ranked for battle pass, so its almost like a free battle pass. But true rewards are getting worse and worse. If I dont earn doublons in ranked there is no way I would spend full 2500 doublons on the battle pass.

BUT we have to consider other thing, for any old and experienced player rewards are ultimate crap, BUT for new players rewards are actually good. They even feel huge when you start the game. So this battle pass is by my opinion targeted for new players not old ones. New player that has maybe 2 or 3 tier 10s, 10k RB points feel huge. You on the other hand that have 2 or 3 RB ships already feel like its underwhelming, which is true. 

In the end battle pass is nothing but a new cash money flowing thing for WG, either you like it or not.

[MadBadDave]

No, and I voted as such I’ll also refrain from RN Subs, the lastest dockyard event shows WG intent, I play everyday and got nowhere near Renown 44,  it reminded me of the original PR event.   Similarly I had no trouble getting the first battle pass and yet I’m 16 stages away from this one, and yet my play time and style has not changed , which as with ping rate etc tells me it’s WG, hence zero interest in taking part in any early release or similar events. 
 

When WG actually thinks and cares about it’s player base 😏, I’ll show more interest. 

[SmokinSerj]

I didn't decide yet to buy it or not (I'll decide at the end, when I see if I completed it or not)... but for me it looks like a quite good deal: for 10 eur I get to skip an entire line reset (given that every 3 months I use a mixture of FXP for T2-T7 and play like 1-2 games/day with T8/T9). So it's actually like an investment in my time. 10 euros for my time? Kind of worth it.

[HMS_Kilinowski]

I'll pass. I've built my account for 5 years. It is well-equipped. I don't need an extra 10k RP, cause the only ships left to buy are mediocre port queens anyway.

All the events over christmas have burnt me out. So I am perfectly fine to sit this one out.

[BrusilovX]

I bought the first two(?) but did not buy the last/current one and have no intention of getting the next one (unless the rewards are better).

Well as I collect the upgrades too and the only way is from RP it is at least in some demand. 

I also value the 2500 doubloons as less expensive due to that I bought them with coupon.

 

But for someone who plays as much as I do the added containers after 40 are of value, as there is f.e. if you reach 15 stages quite a lot extra, if you on the other hand do not play much there is a different calculation.

 

I also value time vs progress. The seasons bonus I disregard ofc. It is way too expensive. Only in time of much extra coal steel or maybe if you have a extreme number of RB resets that you will use that period. I bought it during the 6 week christmas period as it were a lot of snowflake income.

[ColdHeat]

I´ll likely pass on the next premium pass as I only get them when I managed to get the full rewards out of it. I failed to complete the last two as I´m a casual player so at least for me WG simply asks for too much time to be invested on a daily basis to make completing the BP an achieveable goal.

What I really miss would be a coupon for RB like for coal/steel or dubs 

An extra 25 % coupon for ships (coal/steel/RB) would actually be a great final reward for Premium BP. 

[SuperDare83]

yeah, I think we need to send a clear message to WG by not paying for such rubbish rewards 

[flip_66]

The real question is: Will we really get silver ship Cleveland with the upcoming update? On the test server this is the final reward for the premium BP line. I know they sometimes use placeholders but so far they didn't have placeholders for BP rewards.

 

As for this update's final reward: Let's be honest: We're not buying BP for the final reward but for the extra rewards we get on the way. Or did you really want a tier 7 Japanese premium cruiser or a tier 8 American Early Access plane BB?!

I'd guess it will be the Tier 8 Pan Asian Cruiser as Early Access instead of the Cleveland...

I really like Tokachi. 

[Sir_Sinksalot]

I'm not even looking to finish this latest BP's standard mode let alone considering to upgrade to premium.

 

It's worse they're getting and WG are now clearly using BP to lump their unwanted trashcan classes that are the top 2 most flagged prayerbase griefers onto to the playerbase, garnished with perma-cams and economic bonuses in an effort to make them appear as attractive ships and classes worth getting and playing.

 

The last iteration featured an early access to the T8 Nebraska which is just a tech-tree ship ultimately and as mentioned, a ship that features a broken form of attack, aka, aircraft. This latest BP sinks(literally sinks) even lower by rewarding British Submarine tokens which is another class they can't properly balance, a class the vast majority don't want, a class the cast majority never asked for, a class at one point WG themselves stated would never featuring in the game because it couldn't ever be balanced, and again, they're dressing it as something lucrative, appealing and as something a player should really want and be happy to get.

 

But who's fooled by any of this? Apart from the minority of players that actually want and enjoy submarines and fapping about with aircraft in a ship vs ship game, who's actually gonna be fooled by the transparent ploy? I was basically given the other submarines for free up to T8 and I STILL don't care about them. Sure, sadly I'll exploit CV's in Ranked Battles because they're so over-powered, easy to play and have a massively unfair advantage over EVERY surface ship but I'd certainly be delighted to see them get the big nerf-kick in the balls they and all aircraft surely need and deserve.

 

Ok, the hybrids are not a problem just by themselves since they may well actually offer the only balanced form of aircraft attack I've seen since their attacks are only limited and respawn much slower than a full blooded CV but the point is that it's just another addition of broken and annoying aspects in the game for effectively extra airplanes in a battle already featuring a CV. So instead of being spotted and attacked by just a CV's aircraft, it's now possible to be spotted and attacked and focused by aircraft launched from a CV, launched from a BB, launched from a cruiser, and even DD's are starting to dip their toes into WoWP mode. bs in other words. If you're going to have several ships in a battle capable of launching aircraft flights to spot and attack ships then at least have the sense to exclude CV's from such battles so other ships have a chance to breath and actually dare to have brief pockets of fun. How does having even more airplanes than just the CV's alone in a battle translate into better gameplay? And the answer is it doesn't obviously, and then while you're trying to avoid attacks from waves of aircraft launched by several ships and coming from several directions, you also have some classy dude with his submarine's pinging your ship and launching homo-torps. Great fun honestly, and also take a full broadside from a T11 BB while you're trying to dodge that lot. 

[Gulag_Knife_Frenzy]

The rewards don't really justify paying for the upcoming one - I don't even think I'll pay for the current one tbh.

Personally I´m a collector, so I´ll pick the tier 7 Japanese premium cruiser and if I would have made it to the final stage I would also have paid for the tier 8 early access. As you said the other rewards make the whole package an ok deal, even so nothing spectacular.

 

Current BP actually looks like the best so far to me (even though I would prefer steel over research bureau points) but I´m sure WG is trying different rewards so they can check which manage to let the most people invest into BP.

 

And regarding the most expensive BP upgrade: I stil cannot believe that there is ANYONE around who sees something of value in it to justify the enormeous price.

Ok so its the "seasonal bonuses" that cost extra

Yes. Plus extra missions so you'll do it easier. And if you'll do all missions you get 3 crates 1k coal each 10 BP points 

[I_use_guns]

Nope. I don't even collect anymore the bonuses for the free pass or containers and such. I'm just reached the state where I don't care anymore about buffs, ressources and whatever. I just hit play, get frustrated by subs, get rekt by CVs and close the game after one match.

WoWs in 2023.

[UnrepentantSinner]

No way, the last one was a joke, so i didn't bought it, this one isn't great either so i have zero interest in buying it, and the next one will be another early access ship from the looks of it, so i will skip that one too. Come on WG bring back good rewards like the Tokachi and i will happily buy again, but the current rewards are just an insult.

[Hades_warrior]

My answer is the same for every single battle pass that this game dev will offer - No.
