Got 3 perma camos for free

So before patch .15 hit, I had Mine, Mutsu and Hatsu. All without any camos.

 

Today I came to see the new DDs and to my great surprise, the new Fubu, Hatsu and Akatsuki have perma camos on them :ohmy:

 

Now I knew that there was meant to be perma camo "buy one get one free" with the update, but I have never owned perma camos on any of IJN DDs

 

Thanks WG!  :great:

Just checked and I don't :(

 

EDIT:  I was wrong - Mutsu has no perma camo option. Hatsu, Fubu and Kagero have free perma camo

 

EDIT 2:  Yugumo and Akatsuki also have free perma camo.  Mutsuki is the odd one out:

Clearly they are gifts and we should be grateful towards WG for their generosity...

 

They are free trials. Try them today and you may keep them for only 2000-5000 doubloons

No this is totally crap and unacceptable. I just spent 3000 doubloons for the Fubu camo yesterday to get the Kagero camo too.

Free stuff is only ok if you get free stuff?

Yeah I got free premium camo for Hatsu, Fubuki, Akatsuki and Kagero.

 

I assume it was a mistake and they'll be removed quickly. :D

Just thought about my situation - is the mutsuki supposed to have free perma camo or is it just tier 6 and above?

No that is not my point sorry if I miscommunicated.

I appreciate free stuff surely, the only thing is now I feel fooled because I spent 3000 d. for something free. I wouldnt have if I knew.

Sorry, I should have put a smilie.  I would be pissed off in your situation.  I guess see if we get them removed... and if we don't get a support ticket in

This is the reason I would never buy a 3000-5000d camo!

 

giving them out would piss me off but also they can and do nerf ships all the time and that would also piss me off.  

 

I hope you contact them if this isn't a glitch or mistake.

Gentlemen, remember, this would not be the first time for a similar issue happening. Remember the Texas (and the Diana, as it costs money too). I also bought the Mikasa, for example, but let alone it's a terrible ship, I'm eagerly awaiting for the day to come since months when this ship will be handed out to everyone like candy. If that's how we play than I guess that's how we play.

But frankly, screwing up(?) by giving out free premium camouflage, then trying to "mitigate the damage" by taking away stuff is a rather counter-productive step and - just or not - will probably cause an uproar. It's a good question that for a company like WG do these camos worth losing a big chunk of reputation.

I also got them. Quite happy with it though.

But if I had bought them yesterday to get them copied and then this happened I would be pissed as well. (I would be quite angry if they gave free camo to the Benson, Fletcher and Gearing to everyone as well)

 

But I don't think taking back the camo's from everyone would be a good thing to do. Maybe reimbursing the people that bought them? I don't know how much that would be? Or maybe getting a new camo specially for the people that already bought it? Don't know how difficult that would be.

Well. I have the fubuki, kagero and yugumo in port. The new t6 won't have a premium camouflage so no problem. The two for the others would be 5k doobluns if I'm not mistaken. Would mean a 20 euro loss for WG if I were allowed to keep those. We is not a charity, I didn't pay for them and thus they can, and should, remove them again. Everything else would just be utter disrespect towards paying customers.

I will hold them personally responsible if WG removes our "gifts"

What about folk who paid for a Texas? And saw it being given away free with new invite & play?

 

What about the ARP Takao? That's essentially a free Atago, the Atago is a very expensive Premium ship.

 

What about folk who grinded out the Kami R? Is it right that others have paid for the Fujin/Kami etc?

I must be the unlucky one, because none of the perma camos in the Japanese destroyers have been gifted to me....:(
