Sundrun Players 1 post 1,164 battles Report post #1 Posted December 28, 2016 Happy holidays everyone! TLDR; I will not be choosing the super container option anymore. I am one of the hopefuls that saw an opportunity to get something cool by choosing the super container option. I had heard stories of people getting cool stuff, and I wanted to try my luck. After many containers I have decided to not continue that futile effort. I got two "meh" (250 doubloons and 5 million credits (would have gotten more if I had chosen the credits container)) super containers, and then I got a big fat middle finger twice in a row. I got 250 flags... Now, 250 flags may sounds good to someone that does not try to get the super containers. Let me explain why that is bad; when you try to get a super container, odds are that you are going to get 5 flags of something, but it is essentially nothing compared to the other container types. Getting 5 flags is not anyone's idea of super, it is pretty much the opposite of super. It is however acceptable because playing the odds should pay off when you get a win, you should get something worthy of the "super" tile. When you multiply something times nothing, is still nothing, 250 times "not super" is still not super. It is like getting a whole lot of nothing. In fact, as stated above, I consider it a giant middle finger from Wargaming. It is basically saying "Fu#@ you sucker, stop being a cu#@". Hence, refer to the TLDR Just wanted to get this off my chest, and if you read the whole thing I give you my thanks. GL & HF 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GioIonutz Players 245 posts 13,478 battles Report post #2 Posted December 28, 2016 Well Try Your Luck containers doesn't mean that you'll get 100% a SuperContainer after 50-100 containers. TYL has just a smaller increase of % instead of the other containers. Try Flags and Camos container, has better rewards and when its your lucky day, you'll get a SC. Good luck with it! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck with it! this... so much this... i have opened 20+ TYL boxes and only got one super that gave flags i changed to camo and opened 8 camo boxes and i got 1 super that gave me 500 doubloons, 4 "normal", and 3 that had flags and free exp i dont care if i get less chance for a super, the chance is so low that the difference is not noticable anyway, but camo boxes always give me amazing stuff Edited December 28, 2016 by lezantas26 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_ASW_ Players 24 posts 676 battles Report post #8 Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) 250 Doubleoons... I could almost buy a port slot with that! I findd all of my containers rubbish, so I always go 'try my luck'. My second one was a supercontainer, with 250 flags, meh. I never use flags personally. Three more containers later I got 250 damage control party 2. so I now have 500 of them, but I always forget to use them! I would be delighted to get even 100 doubleoons in a container compared to this rubbish! (sort of rubbish) Edit for Pastaiolo : I'm not complaining, im just saying I don't really get much I use..

[IDEAL] Pastaiolo Alpha Tester, Alpha Tester 669 posts 2,513 battles Report post #9 Posted December 28, 2016 Considering it's all for free, i don't think you are in a position to demand anything. So far i got gold, 50k free experience, dragoon flags and yes, some less useful flags too. But i still got them for free. Another guy i know got himself a Kutuzov instead. Again, for free. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[TNG] TheCoolBird Players 136 posts 2,171 battles Report post #12 Posted December 28, 2016 I saw no point in SC's after a while. I got flags, and a port slot. Then as soon as I opened a money container I was given a port slot and 4 captain reserves. It's better just to go for something that I can use, rather than 5 signal flags at a time.

The_Great_SCH Players 374 posts 3,672 battles Report post #19 Posted December 29, 2016 super containers are overrated. And i have a feeling after a few weeks they adjusted the numbers a bit, seeing how many people got stuff, don't forget they have ALL the statistics. So i think, it's better to actually use the containers you need, like Flags and Camo, and if you hit a SC, you're lucky. But it's better to get 3X more flags/camo/3 exp than just 5 flags and be dissapointed by your luck. If you are hoping to get a super duper ship, i don't think you will. Remember the Santa boxes gave out a lot of cool ships and stuff to many people, but after that just flags and camos mostly. They stated that you get the value back guaranteed, but if they would let every box/SC give out premium stuff, they would sell sh*t. This is not a tinfoil thing, this is a marketing thing.

[UNICS] Nechrom Beta Tester 4,870 posts 10,112 battles Report post #20 Posted December 29, 2016 Current standing for me is 160 'Try Your Luck' containers and 11 of those being Supercontainers. I have no reason to stop picking those containers to be honest. First of all, I'm not in need of any credits, so getting that in containers is almost useless to me. Since 'Try Your Luck' can't give you credits it seems optimal to me. That also comes from the fact that TYL containers gives 5 items while regular containers gives 9 (when you don't get credits). But TYL gives double the chance for a supercontainer, so in the long run it's more profitable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely long term it's better to take a normal container as you'll get three time the normal in a TYL container which will add up over time... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skyllon Players 2,588 posts Report post #24 Posted December 29, 2016 Well, I don't pay much attention to containers, so I almost always pick TYL. Money is too easy to come by with all rewards and sales IMO. Flags are useful, but TYL are full of them. I know it is like 5 in each, but for me it is enough. And I get better chance of getting SC. I stock up TYL and after a while open a batch of 20 - 30. It is fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe I should start using them with the damage control II.. All flags are very useful, and should be used on the appropiate ship (apart from the ramming flag). Their rewards are actually great when used correctly. And yes use damage con 2 on tier 5+ especially when yoi got so many. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
