Prycek Players 6 posts 3,518 battles Report post #1 Posted December 11, 2016 Hi guys! What's with the Kagero type 18 camo? It's a gold camo but I do not have any price next to it in the camo versions screen for my Kagero. Is it free then or do I have to pay 3000 gold anyways? I don't want to waste 3000 gold over this camo for Kagero but it seems like its free for me. Does anyone have similar issue with this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Admiral_Noif Weekend Tester 873 posts 6,620 battles Report post #2 Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) Those free premium camo will disappear soon or later back to payment, because it was an accident by WG devs. You can still use those premium camos so long until devs will fix this.

Nethraniel Beta Tester 1,739 posts 1,782 battles Report post #3 Posted December 11, 2016 Some hickup because of the IJN DD tech tree split. Seems many people got free premium camos. There were, however, statements from WG NA and RU that this will not be permanent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SovietFury43 Beta Tester 665 posts 7,033 battles Report post #7 Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) And what if don't have 3000gold when they fix it? No, thats not what i mean, sorry. What i mean is they will probably take it away and then you will have to pay for it if you want it again just like normal. Edit: In fact i am surprised they didnt fix that already.

tenacious_torps ∞ Players 1,373 posts Report post #10 Posted December 11, 2016 Just make sure you make good use of it while it lasts and grind those ships. Neither of the affected ships are particularly good imho, so free prem camo or not they get sold once I'm done, but at least I have waste left time on the things.

They'll probably be as quick to fix this as the other bugs we still have since CBT.

[SICK] Exocet6951 Weekend Tester 5,151 posts 11,809 battles Report post #12 Posted December 11, 2016 Remember that it's WG NA that said theyd axe the free camos. I didn't see a thing on the EU portal, nor ingame. Either WG EU is so incompetent that they didn't even realize it yet, or they're letting us keep it. Or they're just going to take it away silently and pretend it never happened. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tenacious_torps ∞ Players 1,373 posts Report post #13 Posted December 11, 2016 It's obviously a rather serious screw-up in their database, I doubt they can actually tell how bought the camos and who didn't without going through more or less all their accounts. Which costs money, as in many hours probably, too. Depending on the state of either DB it may be a lot more complicated than just a bit of SQL. All in all I find the whole thing quite hilarious really, since obviously the IJN nerf is a blatant money grab to get people to spent on reskilling their captains. To see it backfire in this way... priceless. They don't loose money as is though, since I highly, highly doubt they'd have sold many prem camos for the new Hatsuharu or Kagero anyway. I've yet to find anybody who actually likes either ship that much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There were announcements on PL and GE sections about this I believe ( or posts from WG employees ). Think even MrConway said something about it but can't recall for sure.

No the announcements as said previous in the thread were that they would be removed last week, but it hasn't happened. So no they can't now claim 'what cammo?', though I do wonder why they weren't removed and why no statement about them has been made since. Anyway, I would say enjoy them while we can Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Egoleter ∞ Players 4,046 posts Report post #20 Posted December 12, 2016 as long as I don't suddenly lose 3000 doubloons Better make sure that you don't have your camo on auto-resupply then. Or else I could imagine the client attempting to re-purchase that camo the moment it is taken away by the script. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"15k doubloons have been deducted from your account" Which would amount to a transaction without my consent. My guess is that they won't even open that can of worms, so many things that can go wrong. They'll just restore normal cammo prices and cut their losses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
