dealert Players 4 posts 4,260 battles Report post #1 Posted October 17, 2016 WG, are you trying to troll me? Maybe month ago i got Lo Yang special offer after a game, i decided, ye il buy it. But i didnt have enough dubloons on my account, so i bought some, howevher that required to rellog to the game, offer ofc dissapeared after i relloged.... I was dissapointed as i had no real chance of buying it, even if i wanted. But ok, i kept the dubloons, few days back i decided screw that, dubloons sitting for nothing are wasted and bought Dunkerque, which was fun. But now i received Lo Yang for 6k dubloons again, and thing is, I WANT IT BUT I CANT BUY IT cause i dont have enough dubloons on my account again. WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU KEEP GIVING OFFERS PLAYERS CANT BUY? I have no idea where to post it, customer service doesnt help, as i tried to get dubloons on my account before the special offer expired and all they said is "wait, maybe youll get another", cool, but i get it after i spent dubloons... So my question is, how am i supposed to buy the Lo Yang offered to me? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, you can buy doubloons without logging out of the game... just alt-tab go to portal buy doubloons and alt-tab back and it will be delivered to your port ( even while logged in ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And keeping 6-8k doubloons in port is kinda waste, its real life money, i cant keep those in game just in case. Im just always dissapointed when i get offer i cant get no matter what Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtm78 Alpha Tester 19,378 posts 6,105 battles Report post #4 Posted October 17, 2016 I never had to relog, and I've bough plenty of stuff while I was logged in and it always got delivered to my port. The personal offers might also be just an incentive for people to invest more money in the game ( actually... no they not just might be that, off course they are exactly that )..

Well, thanks for repply, ill try to buy few doubloons to see if it works, but the first time i got the offer i sure didnt get them, didnt bother today when the offer came up again. And tbh it feels like i get the offer after good game with DD, so maybe i could hunt for it. Or i wont play dd's, never get it again and be happy... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[B5] Kimosabe_X Alpha Tester 2,846 posts 7,970 battles Report post #6 Posted October 17, 2016 I'm nearly willing to bet, that if he had enough Doubloons at that time the offer would have been only 15% or 6800 Dbl. Got that with the green Kamikaze, read about it in a thread where it was offered with 25% and not enough Dbls and I got it only with 15% ... Nice selective offers... nice...

[B5] Kimosabe_X Alpha Tester 2,846 posts 7,970 battles Report post #9 Posted October 17, 2016 Well, it seems it's totally random who gets these offers and who don't. Although there seems to be a "little" pattern in it, e.g. your premium time ran out and you get an offer for premium at a discount, but often not as good as the normal dicounts Or harbour places, like 10 for 2400 Dbl and so on... Ships you get most often offered after a battle in a ship like the offer, e.g. I got my Green Kamikaze offer after a battle in a Wakatake and others, too. And as said before, it looks like you get better offers if you lack of Doubloons than if you've got enough in stock, e.g. LoYang for 6000 Dbl (25% off) vs 6800 Dbl. (only 15% off) But in short, yes they work but it's totally random... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[AMOK] Donar79 Players 1,968 posts 9,010 battles Report post #10 Posted October 17, 2016 Buying in the PremShop while logged in the game is working and case for the Support if not. U lucky one got special offers? I only had a shitty one once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[ENUF] Ze_Reckless [ENUF] Players 2,532 posts 23,393 battles Report post #11 Posted October 17, 2016 But in short, yes they work but it's totally random... I doubt that. I bet they use the stats they have on us. What we bought when, how often we buy stuff and such. I had a couple of free premium time offers when these were introduced. After that I declined 2 or 3 offers and since then I haven't gotten any offers in quite some time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After that I declined 2 or 3 offers and since then I haven't gotten any offers in quite some time. Yes, you're absolutely right, I also do think the offers are somewhat based on consumer data. But as the real triggers for those offers are unknown and what I posted above are rough guesses and statements from a thread in the german section, it looks like it's random. About your second thought, well yes... maybe... Me, too had two offers before that green Kamikaze, the first was very short after I started playing again after a good year, offering 180 days of premium time at a reasonable discount , but i declined because of WoT and some gold over there and thank god at least the premium time is shared over the three. Second one was a 80% discount on Type II repair consumables Iirc, but I declined that, too. So let's say, it works, but it seems to be totally random... ;-) P.S.: hoping for more rare ship offers... ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[SCRUB] Aotearas Players 8,460 posts 13,076 battles Report post #14 Posted October 17, 2016 You get special offers for premium ships? The only one I ever got was 7 days of premium at twenty-something percent discount ... whilst we had a 50% discount going on so had I taken the offer I would've payed more, not less.

Yes, they do and as it seems, more often the rare ones, like e.g. LoYang or the green Kamikaze which I got from there. Known discounts range from 15 to 25%, depending on your Doubloons in stock. At least it's that what we found as some kind of pattern in the german thread about tose ingame offers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[SCRUB] lup3s Players 5,744 posts 32,717 battles Report post #17 Posted October 17, 2016 Do more people get those offers? I never do. I got my first offer just when I had bought some doubloons to expand my port. The offer appeared after I had bought 2 port slots and of course the offer I got was more port slots Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least it's that what we found as some kind of pattern in the german thread about tose ingame offers I didn't mean to imply I didn't knew that you could get premium ships via special offers. I meant to communicate my surprise in people actually getting those personal offers and for premium ships no less. Because like I said, I've only gotten a single personal offer ever and it was a scam (unintended perhaps, but if I had taken it I would've gotten screwed over given the otherwise available greater discount at that moment of time).

DandyDozer Players 49 posts 1,820 battles Report post #25 Posted October 21, 2016 I received offer only after i spent all doublons for free exps conversion. I think thats incentive to buy a gold. So next time you will have mood to buy gold, spend first all the doublons and wait few battles before purchasing them. I believe its their plan to force you buy more then you need as bundles are always bigger amount then you actually need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
