[SCRUB] Aotearas Players 8,460 posts 13,076 battles Report post #6 Posted December 20, 2017 At this point the only reason I'd see for getting christmas containers would be if you could get otherwise unobtainable ships such as the Iwaki Alpha and/or Arkansas Beta (oh how I wish I had an Iwaki) OR if they included ships that I'd really, really want (Kidd and Roma) AND the other ships in the prize pool are ones I already have so I'm more or less guaranteed to get ships I really want without RNG having the chance to throw other ships at me (basically if chances are that I'd pay less for those crates to have a good chance at getting the ship I want compared to outright buying the ship bundle). So yeah, you can essentially dismiss the second reason for being delusional, ergo WG oughta bring out some really special ships as prizes or I'm to maintain my little boycott until I see WG steer the game into a direction that fills me with more confidence as opposed to the idiotproofing, every ship gotta have a special gimmick and who cares about BB overpopulation anyway attitude I'm seeing right now.

For anyone that doesn't already have the Gremmy or Nikolai, or doesn't have the Belfast or Kutuzov but wants it, it's a (very low) chance of getting those ships (like seriously expect all other ships to pop-up before you get those you really want).

[CBS] Allied_Winter Players 6,242 posts 10,755 battles Report post #11 Posted December 20, 2017 Another piece of information: You won't get double ships (like some did last year) because with 0.6.15 WG altered the code, so that the content of each box/container/present will be determined at opening and NOT AT BUYING. So unless you don't have each buyable premium ship, there's little chance for stocking up dubloons via ship doubling (only valid for christmas boxes! Don't know if valid for SCs that drop ships).

robihr Players 3,168 posts 9,352 battles Report post #17 Posted December 20, 2017 overall small crates not worth it, medium and big.. meh... chances are that you will mostly get special flags/camo, and while they are excellent i dont find them that attractive enough to spend so much money to get them all for free xp grind (cause they work best in combination of 3-4 special flags+papa papa+xp flag). for ships more or less i have all premium ships i want (although i wouldnt refuse belfast or MK, but chances are too low for them).

Ryouzanpakku Players 131 posts 1,021 battles Report post #19 Posted December 20, 2017 According to the several reddit threads this years containers contains lot of signals&camo, ships are quite rare and so are doubloons and premium time. Overall buy or not buy depends on how much you value consumables. If lot then then this is event for you. If not much then stay away from this event. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favuz Players 359 posts 6,636 battles Report post #20 Posted December 20, 2017 it's a lottery, and like all lotteries you have to be lucky. From opening 30 crates without a single ship to 3 premium ships in 5 medium crates (both read on reddit). It's true, however, than premium time and doubloons are more valuable to me than camos, and those frosty camos are the most common thing out of crates. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
