I have picked up 13 Supercontainers so far. The reason that I am posting is so that everyone can throw abuse at me for being "lucky" but ungrateful.

 

I have received some really good stuff (which I am grateful for) including:
- 1 000  Gold
- 15 000 Coal
- 44 Days Premium Time
- 50 000 Free XP
- 100 nice Camouflages
- 25 Ouroboros Flags (+777% Free XP)

 

I Have also won TWO ships. But I don't want either of them!:Smile_sad:

 

I am not a collector, but have managed to obtain far more ships than I want to play. I can only really handle 30-40 "Top" ships.

 

The two that I won are not required at all and will rust in port. They are:
a) Tier 7 IJN BB "Ashitaka". (If it plays anything like Amagi then I am not interested)
b) Tier 8 EU DD "Orkan". I gave up on this line because I hate the playstyle.

 

Now I will put on my asbestos suit while you all flame me.:Smile_hiding:

Most of the stuff from super containers are related to getting ships. Ok, you can get modules or captains for coal, and canos for steel, but most of the stuff gets you closer to a new ship.

 

Also a new ship is a new playstyle, your top ships can change over time. I recently got the Alabama, and I am happy for it, although that I have the NC with a similar playstyle. But it feels a different ship because of the small differences. I will enjoy playing the NC, and the Alabama in a row, both for the gameplay and for grinding captain XP faster.

 

Also you are a co-op main, so you can try playing more randoms or ranked to add variety. Ashitaka is an excellent ship for ranked. Also the Orkan is good for randoms.

You make some excellent points. :Smile_honoring:

 

Yes, I am interested in getting new ships, but only so that I can complete the Russian Light/heavy cruiser trees.

 

Yes, "a new ship is a new playstyle, your top ships can change over time" - very true. :Smile_honoring:

However I have been playing 5 years and still don't like IJN battleships in  whatever mode I have used them in, Random or coop. And I think that the EU line (Which I have played) is most unenjoyable line in the game for me persoally.

 

I have to give a special shout of respect to you for being good and smart enough to notice the small differences between Alabama and North Carolina. :Smile_honoring:

There ARE differences as you rightly say. However I am a lesser player and I do not notice the differences (Though I SHOULD) even though i also have both ships.

 

"so you can try playing more randoms or ranked to add variety"-  this is good advice in general to any player. :Smile_honoring:

I did not enjoy my 2000+ random games, and have never desired to play ranked battles or any "Mickey Mouse" modes suck as space battles or fantasy stuff. I don't enjoy competitive or frantic modes. This is the only game that I have ever played and sometime wish that i had never been drawn into it.

 

You are a good person for trying to help.:Smile_honoring:

 

I am sorry that I am  a lost cause.:Smile_sad:

Hi all,

 

To my great surprise the 3rd and last regular container of the day ("More Resources" for me as always) brought me this:

So yesterday there was the 5th anniversary stream. During the stream there were several quizzes where I always failed to win by only a bit. After the 3rd quiz Crysantos noticed it and told me that I would get a spin on the Wheel of Misfortune if I didn't win anything, where the prizes were anywhere from a T9 ship box or 360 days of premium to a 24h chat ban. Along the way a spin was made for a player that at the end of the stream did not claim his prize by sending in his IGN and server. It was a T9 box. Crysantos decided he would give me this prize instead of spinning the wheel. It was delivered today.

This is it, a rara avis, the big white box. Only a metal card with a VIP code gives more. In fact the box is worth 2x 1st place quiz prizes from the stream.

 

Spoiler

If you expected to find a  picture of a ship here, tough luck. I'm this in WOWS. There is no premium ship at T9 that can drop for me, I own them all. Instead I got this:

I'm off to buy some T10 camos with my prize dubs. They are free this time.

 

Big thanks to @Crysantos for his generosity. It is greatly appreciated. Also gute Besserung to @MrConway.

How about I have collected 210 normal containers since the last super container -  currently a less than 0.5% chance of getting a super container :

That is a lot.. I got mine a lot quicker, and have collected a few this past summer. Then again, IIRC I didn't get any for what felt like a long dry season before I got those.
