Discrepancy between purchasable Bismarck containers NA>EU

[bigbramble]

Edited to say: There is no didiscrepancy just poor communication from WG EU this time. We get good containers too!

[daki]

I just checked the EU shop and there are no offers you talk about (i.e. container purchase)...

[bigbramble]

I refer you to this:

 

"As part of the Hunt for Bismarck event, from 19 May at 07:00 CEST until 08 June at 09:00 CEST (UTC+2)Premium lootboxes will also be available in the Premium Shop offering one collection item, two unique signal flag, and two unique camouflages (there will also be "lucky drops" which offer three unique signals and camouflages). Loot boxes will be available for the following prices:"

 

On NA you get 7 unique signal flags and 7 unique camoflages in the normal boxes....

[Nechrom]

We'll see tomorrow I guess.

[eliastion]

Seems like EU is going to get a special third (neutered) type of container because these given from the Hood tasks are the same as NA:

Large containers will be available for players who complete tasks designed for HMS Hood and will offer:

 - One collection piece
 - Two packs of either seven random campaign Signal Flags or seven Special camouflage applications (some lucky drops will offer twenty campaign Signal Flags/ event camouflages per pack)

 

Well, we'll see. If EU is really going to get "premium" boxes instead of the much better "big" ones but still at the same price... As part of an event that was supposed to be the same for all servers... I'd expect another sh*tstorm of epic proportions

These are different containers. These are the ones you can purchase. I would like to see Tuccy/Kandly or whoever patrols this forum come and confirm this is actually a mistake please?

Since when are WGEU articles an accurate source of information?

 

I can see that you are eager to expose the "outrage" and "disgrace", but at least wait until tomorrow to make sure that what you claim is correct (or not)

As I said - on NA you can purhase "big" containers (the same kind that comes from Hood missions). EU news suggest a third kind, "premium" containers significantly inferior to "big" ones.

 

Oh, and ours are more expensive, of course, since the pricetags are the same but in EUR rather than USD. Can I please get the same treatment where the number stays the same but the currency changes to PLN?

I am eager to see the EU get the same treatment as NA that is all! Not pay more money for significantly inferior containers. I hope it's a mistake on the website I really do.

Or 99,99 rubles.

 

NA packages don't have the same content as EU ones. Still, as i said before, the real things on sale are the Hood and access to Hood part of the campaign. So those are cheaper on the NA.

Well, the containers (unless we get the significantly inferior ones, as the article seems to suggest ) are in the same quantities so they're literally the same packages (again, unless ours come out being significantly inferior).

[Nechrom]

Bumping this for a WG answer before the crates are released and people start demanding refunds because they read on Reddit that you get 7 + 7 flags and then realize that EU only gets 2 + 2 for whatever reason.

Want to point out that they are also more expensive in EU as well.

[P2Win]

EU folks getting shafted again? old news...

[OldGrandad]

OP being a little dramatic. I purchased the single HUNT FOR THE BISMARCK – 1 container on my NA account and it certainly did not have what the OP declared had in them. In fact container descriptions are; 

 

Earn Bismarck and two permanent camos faster with Big Collection Containers, each holding a random collectible with extra surprise goodies like special Signal Flags or consumable camo!

 

At work at the moment but the container I bought did not have 7 in it.

Multiple people on Reddit have reported getting 7 + 7 of the signals/camos from the crates.

[P2Win]

OP is correct. My main account is on NA and we're getting 7 + 7.

[Nechrom]

So based on the information on the main EU site, compared to what NA and SEA have been getting, the differences I've seen are as follows:

 

• NA (and SEA?) are getting 2 batches of 7 signals or camos in their bought containers, while the EU are supposed to get 2 batches of 2.
• NA (and SEA?) are getting a few easier tasks as part of the new campaign.
• NA and SEA are getting somewhat different bundles than the EU. They get 30 or 7 days of premium in the biggest and 2nd biggest bundle respectively, but instead loses out on 4350 or 3350 doubloons as well as 3 x 50 or 3 x 35 consumables. (this being arguably the only positive difference for the EU)

 

I might have missed something and I didn't go through all the tasks of the campaign.

We don't know for sure whether the containers are weaker, no one from WG EU has confirmed this and I was planning to check it out this morning but the campaign and additions to premium shop have not unlocked yet (despite the fact they were meant to 37 mins ago according to the website).

We don't know 100% for sure anything about what the EU is getting, which is why I wrote: "based on the information on the main EU site".

You would assume it's correct, since there's no reason for them to have incorrect information.

Yup your right.... ..still waiting to confirm

wasn't there also something like lucky bigger loot in containers?

 

on EU site: https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/special/hunt-for-bismarck/

 

"One unique signal flag or event camo (some lucky drops will contain five unique Signal Flags/five event camouflages instead of one)"

 

Well this one says five but maybe that got changed to 7?

 

I suppose those that got 7 on NA just got the lucky big ones....

 

Edith says: nvm I just realized it's the "big box" from the Hood missions thanks to the comment below and the one to buy only get 3 signals/camos in the "lucky box". Oh boy prepare your pitchforks and torches.....

Well MAYBE that is the reason why EU is running 2 Hours late for the release..... (well hope is the last one to die- you never know)

[svadilfari]

NA´s containers are definately the "bigger ones" i.e. the ones you can get for completing the hood missions.

we´ll see if they give us EU peasants the normal containers to buy instead. i certainly wouldn´t put it past them.

 

ps: not that i really care. WG isn´t getting a single penny from me anymore

[bigbramble]

Hopefully we get these containers from the shop, but it is not what the website says. Quote "Premium lootboxes will also be available in the Premium Shop offering one collection item, two unique signal flag, and two unique camouflages (there will also be "lucky drops" which offer three unique signals and camouflages)."

That's referring to the normal crates you get from the campaign tasks.

I was talking about the ones you buy for cash.
