Nerf to signal flags containers

[krautjaeger]

Earlier when taking the signal flag containers we got 5 of each flag that was in the container, now it's 4. That's a sorry nerf though. Not selling enough flag bundles?

 Removed crate with 250 Signal Flags from Supercontainer rewards in exchange for the chance to get one of the new special upgrades instead

 

actually removed something useful for something shitty...

Yeah, I kind of expected something like that sadly... But to reduce the flag reward you get from 5 per box to 4 is really petty imho, that's Scrooge-stufff as that single flag ain't hurting their overall much. Sad.

idk if i want super container now... there is very low chance of premium ship, and very high chance of shitty upgrade... TYL containers are more useless than ever...

[Tungstonid]

It is not just the Signals containers. Others were nerfed as well. If that will balance the higher chance for SCs?... Well, I am not so sure about it...

[RUSSIANBlAS]

Nerfing both the Flag Box and denying us 250 flag SC means that those who don't play that much are denied a flow of flags. Yes they're free gifts but it looks like WG regret being so generous and have just snatched it back now. 

 

It'll hurt casuals the most as the more hard core among us will have huge stock piles. Guess WG want casuals to spend more money on consumables.

Just got a "Supercontainer" with the one of the new modules, +30% time for spotting aircraft from More Signals and Flags container. Sold it immediately for 625.000 credits. So that's pretty much the standard value of SCs these days now. Never going for Try Your Luck, that's for sure. If I could I would rather return it and have 3 * 4 random flags instead tbh, I got enough credits...

Yes unfortunately exactly this. Quite sad.

 

All of the new upgrades except one are complete crapand they force them on people and take away nice SC 250 flags. SC has a 1% chance to drop in my experience and they give you this crap.

Before I seemed to most often get 10 signals + 500 freeXP.

But then WG "listended to people" and now the most common seems to be 8 signals and 2-5 camos.

They're spoiling me.

 

Waiting for the first supercontainer in 3 months, probably going to get one of the awesome new modules, who wouldn't want to get them. They're so not obviously worse than standard ones.

just got a single stupid "UPGRADE" in my SUPERCONTAINER.
WG u evil **** ** *******!!!!!!
(a single 50% speed boost extender upgrade, which sells for less than 700k) 

[ScratxNeko]

The saddest thing is that the "upgrades" really aren't. They're so ridiculously situational they're effectively worthless.

 

WG should just admit they effed up, make the upgrades buyable AND make extra upgrade slots JUST FOR THEM.

 

Don't try to compete with the regular upgrades, they're outright better 99/100 times.

yep. i only liked camo boxes for their steady 500 free exp (got them half the time). now they made it crap, nerfed the signals too, and lets not forget to make SC completely useless so we cant hope getting anything good out of it.

 

i am sure this is our feedback 10/10

 

they did it cause we can now sell the signals, so they fear even more credit inflation, but imo thats stupid. instead of selling, i would much prefer being able to exchange a signal plus some credits for another signal, no need to nerf anything and a new credithole

Or just not allow selling signals/camos to begin with. I am honestly surprised they decided to allow that.

[Nechrom]

They nerfed the crap out of everything to do with containers.

From the amount in the base containers to the useless "upgrades" in the SCs.

 

Also really sad that they worded some of it in the patch notes as if they did it due to player feedback.

Yeah, I'm sure no one wanted free XP in their signal and camo containers. 

[YukiEiriKun]

I don't even remember the last time when "try your luck" would have given me something else than 5 flags.

 

So thanks to this change I now get max 12 papa-papa's a day instead of 15. Yay!

[Kuningas_Arthur]

Yes, the new upgrade modules are rather nice and all, but what you have to give up in order to mount them makes them worthless, as anyone with half a brain will pick the more important modules over these. Now if there was a separate slot, or if these were actually special in that they could be mounted on ANY slot, so you can choose which one of the normal modules you want to replace, that would actually make them useful on some ships.

[RUSSIANBlAS]

Maybe I won't even bother collecting containers and let them accumulate in my port automatically now. I don't want to be trolled by a so called "Super" container, getting my hopes up for a 600k module or 4 flag boxers in a normal container.

you mean you wont open them, cause i believe we still have to collect them everyday.. am i wrong?

1, Its something for free that we never used to get and know  for doing nothing new in game so i'm not sure it can quit be called a nerf.

2, We have so many ways they give us flags and camo now, I am pretty sure most of us are not short of ether, and there lies the problem. Just look in match 6 months ago you sore the odd ship with non Permanent premium camo, Most players would have a couple of signals on there ships. Know we all have so many (I have over 1000 prem camos and over 6000 signals) that often half the team has prem painted ships and a full compliment of 8 signals.

 

Six months ago you got you camo and flags from Ranked and the occasional weekend mission and epic achievements in match, Know we get then from signals/camo from 

• Ranked
• Almost Permanent Weekly and weekend mission
• Campaigns
• Containers
• Epic achievements

It stands to reason that as we have a lot more sources of these goodies the amount we get from individual ones is reduced. Notice the one way of getting flags that we realy have to work for has not been nerfed (flags rewarded in battle)

 

Do i wish they had not changed the amount of rewards in crates? of cause. But am i surprised they have adjusted it after they have had time to look on how many Flags/Camo's we are all getting. Well no i am not.

Sorry guys, but I don't get all this banter about essentially free gifts from WG. Everybody with at least decent performance in this game get's a shitload of stuff for free to enhance your ships. They even throw free premium ships in.

I mean common, can't you every be satisfied?

Same with the rewards for ranked.... stop crying. you can just like me ( I have purchased 2 premium ships ) the rest are gifts from WG for campaigns or missions. play this game perfectly fine for free. they even hand you out free stuff you normally would have to grab your purse for.

The topics in the forum about selling inventory stuff is telling enough about how much free stuff you get you can't even use it's just too much. Anyway

that's my humble opinion.

WG collects them for you at the end of each day, so rather than constant disappointment I'll open them when I care enough 

 

I think you can have a maximum of 100 or so boxes too

 Yeah it's all free stuff however WG have left it to us to work out the drops have been cut down and also left it for us to work out why.

 

The drop rate for Prem Ships is essentially zero for most of us. I don't hope for ships, I buy what I want.

Go read the patch notes again

For the "More Signals and Camouflages" Container:

• Higher chance to get three crates with four Signal Flags in each crate (with different ones in each crate), or two crates with four Signal Flags in each crate plus one crate with five uses of Type 1/2 camouflage or one crate with two Type 5 camouflages
• Lower chance to get Free XP and places in the Reserve
• No chance to get Credits or consumables when this Container type is selected

 

[RUSSIANBlAS]

We used to get five flags per box, it's four now. That's less.

 

Free xp boxes were welcome too.

 

We're getting less than what we did prior to the patch...
