Is the premium BP worthless this time?

No real reward at the end, post progression stages give some summer tokens (not even coal)??? Is it just mean or is the value getting worse and worse?

Yeah it's disappointing...

Idk why WG isn't releasing as BP reward some lower tier premiums they have and are ready. 

Like Duplex or Leipzig.

BP is not meant for someone with common sense, just for those that see the latest shiny shiny and must have, that is the type of player WG is targeting and care about !

It's not just you, after the first Battlepass, things went downhill fast, it's not worth getting it anymore.

To me the current BP seems to be more work than fun. Playing with the same feelings like being at work doesn't work, at least for me. The missions are not even close to real fun, and additionally recent MM and RNG don't make it any better IMO.

I got every battle pass so far just for the steel and coal it's good value for me. I used to eat a lot of ice cream, a certain one costs 7€ per package and is usually gone in a day. I decided to reduce sugar intake. The normal BP costs me 8€ and gives me goodies I like for a game I play a lot. So even with the summer tokens just possibly allowing me early access to ships I will likely instead use the tokens for signals I would usually spend credits for and I can be happy about the additional signals, boosters and steel on top. All for the price of an Ice cream which I used to consume but was actually unhealthy due to lots of sugar. Easy. 

Espeiclaly when you consider I used to spend at least 50€ a month on ice cream which will stop now and I will instead spend 8€ a month on this battle pass. So meh.

For me at least it will really come down to what the summer tokens can actually buy, although knowing WGs choices lately it’s unlikely to tempt me.

I definitely used to agree, but this time now BP can be done in CBs it just happened by itself easily playing.

The problem is that you can value coal, not summer tokens. As I have 1 M + Coal the tokens are maybe interesting if they can buy something valuable. But they must inform us what they can be used for.

Because those ships are in the clutches of the Overcomplicated Event department, whose job is to retain some form of mystique for poor Premium ships by making them available in ways that make the Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling Festival look easy. After all, no-one can write a review of a ship they can't get hold of! 

 

PS Cheese Rolling, for anyone who's never seen it:

I bought every premium BP 'till now (I need so, so many coal and steel!). But I think i'll pass this time. This is ridiculous. Thanks to the anti-gambling laws in my country it's very possible that the summer tokens will be useless to use, like previous year.

 

Thanks WG. The generousity is really touchy...

 

... but not in a good way...

I have absolutely 0 interest in buying Tech Tree ships with an ugly paintjob.

I'm more addicted to coffee but that's a different story. Though yes, I add some sugar, not much but still. :cap_tea:
