Egoleter ∞ Players 4,046 posts Report post #9 Posted December 30, 2016 Can anyone reply ? What if I buy Graf Spee and then complete the marathon mission for it ? What is the compensation ? Silver. That is the way it works for along time now. If you already own a premium ship that you afterwards earn ingame, you'll only recieve silver credits as compensation (and the port slot). Only when you get a premium ship a second time through a container will you recieve doubloons instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will be out there hunting the convoy and make sure to keep a repair crew on hand for my fuel refining system... (Graf Spee had a very German overengineered way of going out of business).

[STEG] hjsteg Alpha Tester, Players, In AlfaTesters 214 posts 18,481 battles Report post #14 Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) It is nice to see the mission at last. I think this is doable as I at least open two containers each day. I did hold off purchase of the GS supreme package because there was no special reason to buy it as the convoy mission was simply not there. Now it is, and I just bought the supreme bundle. But what is this: Since the other regions did have a head start on the missions, if the players there spent $100 or $75 respectively, we wanted to make sure we compensated the European players who also invested a comparable amount into getting the new ship. Therefore, all players who purchased the Admiral Graf Spee Supreme offer before this article was published will receive the last 4 mission rewards (Fuso + distinct camouflage + port slot, Bayern + distinct camouflage + port slot, distinct camouflage for Admiral Graf Spee, distinct Camouflage for Tirpitz) regardless of their completion after the end of the campaign (on or before 21 January). Attention – purchasing the Supreme Bundle after this message is published will not unlock this benefit! Why on earth are we punished for holding off the purchase of the supreme package until after things were fixed? I am also not able to start mission until holidays are over. Is this fair?

I'm not a WG marketing emploee but even with credits compensation I actually find massive value in buying GS and doing marathon and full convoy. I wanted to do those nations anyway and getting started in six branches from tier VI with premium camo worth 5000 dubloons that's for me a save of several days or even weeks of playing WoWs already to grind exp and credits and buy those tiers VI alone. Graf Spee and rewards from convoy are then an icing on the cake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtm78 Alpha Tester 19,378 posts 6,105 battles Report post #19 Posted December 30, 2016 I am not going to unlock the GS in time to leisurely complete the missions, so I am tempted to actually SPEND MONEY on WG and just buy GS.... but that depends ENTIRELY on them removing Keen Intuition ( I don't care they changed the name ) from the skill tree and also to stop putting more diapers on the BBabies ( Fire Prevention skill now making ENTIRE superstructure ONE FIRE ZONE? Ow please ). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Question to pro players: what do you think is the best way to make 500K credits in one game? (combination of ship, tier, flags, multiplier...) 100k dmg in Shimakaze in a lost battle gave me yesterday 360k credits (no Zulu flag) so with +20% Zulu and +20% one-off premium camo its doable even without high tier premium.

What is the compensation ? The compensation will be in credits. It is going to be hardcore grind if you wait until you get the Graf Spee for free. I am not sure its doable for people with that thing... how it is called... life. It will absolutely require a load of dedication and effort, but then again the rewards are very good even if you don't complete the entire campaign. It is nice to see the mission at last. I think this is doable as I at least open two containers each day. I did hold off purchase of the GS supreme package because there was no special reason to buy it as the convoy mission was simply not there. Now it is, and I just bought the supreme bundle. But what is this: Why on earth are we punished for holding off the purchase of the supreme package until after things were fixed? I am also not able to start mission until holidays are over. Is this fair? NA players that purchased one of the earlier two packages spent a comparable amount to the EU players that bought the supreme bundle and already had access to the convoy missions on the 22nd. We wanted to bring the servers in line as much as possible and compensate the players that bought an earlier supreme bundle without getting access to the missions any earlier. We made sure to announce this immediately as we did not want to pressure anyone into buying the supreme bundles at this point. I am sorry that you are no longer eligible for this.

havaduck ∞ Players 2,989 posts 11,824 battles Report post #23 Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) Even tough I wont use it or get any benefit from that now added campaign: A warm thx to whatever redshirt had to fight the beast that is shafting EU constantly (without consent) and stealing even the christmas presents. For me personally the damage is long done; and still piling up on other "fronts". I refuse to go after redshirts trying their best (and I know they are trying their best), but I hope they will in turn understand when I say that, "WG-as-a-whole" can shove it up south until it comes out north. While we are on the subject: You "stole" (read: turned it p2w) a premium recently from me: Kamikaze R. Now I know you dont do refunds, and I am not asking for one; rather get in contact and donate at least € 20 (because afaik that was for how much the Kami R was sold; or ofc you can donate more you greedy ....) to http://www.abcsg.com/ and take it away from my account, because as a p2w boat its of no use to me anyway. If you want to play dumb, I know the http://www.aacr.org has a big button for a one time $ 25 donation right on their homepage. This ship is now not what I played for during the event; which is the verbal-rethoric used by wallet warriors to thwart of changes to premiums in general. So I only demand equal grounds based on that: You already changed the ship, so a refund would be in order: You cant give back time, but you can do a donation and take it away from my port .....
