Correction: 1K dubs are still in the new supercontainers

[MaclewTheMighty]

Note: A digital Currency that is priced by the developer cannot inflate. They just don't want you getting free shit, in a free game. It's all about their turnover. Nothing more.

Armoury event appears designed to soak up dubs from players with excess... the changes to container mechanics / some other recent changes appear designed to lower the dubs received by players in game from containers by chance... WG is trying to use up any excess dubs players have so they need to regularly use cash to buy dubs to pay for premium bp and seasons bonuses so wg gets regular income from players... suspect it is their way of compensating for the revenue lost from declining player numbers... suspect pandemic led to less in game spending (due to income disruption for many people) the reduction in spending at a player base level seems to have gotten worse since the intro of subs so wg needs to be more aggressive in ensuring dubs will be bought for cash on a regular basis. WG really needs to address the problem that most dd and cruisers have a very hard time killing subs unless the sub player is inexperienced and gets caught by surprise, there is a major gameplay problem that needs to be addressed, BB can kill subs with airborne asw but only if they are kiting away or there is a group of bb working together to kill the sub. If subs worked in the game they would not need to be banned from clan battles

That is a GRATE QUESTION. Why does WG not just have a "resource exchange" to convert all these RESOURCES into OTHER RESOURCES. That should be a thing they add to the game. We have: Credits, Commander XP, Free XP, Coal, Steel and of course Doubloons. Im sure alot of people wish they could just take all that Excess stuff they don't need and convert it into something else.

And yes i saw that comment too about "Wargaming taking more action against inflation then the US Government" I got a kick out of that one too.

[Anti-Air]

"We want to celebrate however long you've been with us playing our game by giving you absolutely nothing back in return. Thanks for playing!" Me personally I have been with and seen this game progress from Alpha to where it is now the game as a core has improved a lot and the community for the most part is still amazing as ever but I don't play as much as I used to for a couple reasons 1 being my work schedule and 2 the downward spiral of what WG used to be which it wasn't really that long ago when they changed to be just like a lot of company's where they just truly stop caring about their customers. I hope they can fix their ways and get back on track but I highly doubt that will ever happen.

[Todd.P]

"Excess resources?!" I have minimal amounts of everything, especially doubloons, signals, steel, and elite commander XPs. SMH

[thepataponfreak]

this event for me is a clear IQ check. If you get eg. gorizia using only coal for vouchers, it costs around 200k, while a normal t7 premium cruiser is around 80-60k w/out coupons

[Frankon]

Btw that exchange event - for 100 dubs you can get 1250 FxP. if you convert exp using 100 dubs you get 3500 FxP. This event is the secret IQ quest. I know for 200 dubs would get 8000 FxP

[driedjello]

So inflation is going to be really hard on weegee. If people are paying a ton more for food, housing, energy, they have a lot less disposable income for pixel ships. Raising the price much for something completely optional would be their death.

[rebelsoldier]

This isnt an attempt to combat "inflation" of fictional resources. It is an attempt to lower the rewards and stocks of players to make the game more grindy.

[KylossusE]

Players with around 100 TX ships might´ve got like 10 bucks worth of Dubloons out of the Event, so that´s kinda bullshit. WG just wants us to spend more money while they give us less, it´s that simple. Love the video and keep up the good work

[JamesMcboatsmac]

Honestly, It's emotional as I specifically dropped a couple of grand for a machine so I could play and see the epic historical events World of War Ships offered, being I'm retied USN. Some go fishing, other golfing and other such hobbies. Me? I invested in this game. Initially, fun but I have always been a really bad player so naturally, I spend more on that really fancy fishing rod and I still can't get a break. Even worse, It's even apparent to a really bad player, he's being played. Even so, I am going to go back and play some more here in a while cause it's always better than nothing else, I guess. I've always been fearful I would see a replay about myself here as an example of what not to do. Even so, I do enjoy the once in a while living until the end of the match and I appreciate you efforts Sea Lord.

[GojiraScorn]

I chose to get into this game at the exact wrong time.

[williamneitzel]

IMO, the voucher system introduced is a scam. WG is slowly becoming a Pay-to-Play game. They haven't gotten 1 cent from me in over 8 months. I still have over 500 PREMIUM days, and can't recall when my last purchase was for Premium days. With WG hitting the economy with brick-bats, I don't see this getting any better.

[tomduke]

the exchange rates are ridiculous though. 15 to 1 is just nuts, having to throw away 14 to convert 1 is not something i will ever do.

[duncanhamilton]

SCs have been gash for ages. Then on Monday I got an SC from clan reserve/building. It dropped a Maya. Then my first container of the day was also an SC... which dropped an FR.25.

First time I've had an SC ship since Perth about four years back

[Mithril_Antimarr]

It is funny that the GZ is still 56 bucks to buy when it has been so thoroughly nerferd so that a secondary build on it is no longer effective against any ships other than dd and frankly that was the main thing about it that was good.

[ArekishiKishi]

I would add iron as a battle bonus rewards, iron +coal can be refined into steel over time - runs when you are logged off

[sniperdude]

Just because wargaming didn’t take the worst option available (jacking up premium ship prices) doesn’t mean they should be celebrated for it. Also, premium ships shouldn’t be more than the price of a brand new AAA title. The prices in this game are already outrageous.

[ponaftes]

the exchange rate is horrible: 15k fxp=1 voucher=1.25k fxp? 1 to less than 10? and then lets say i have fxp or coal to spent on vouchers: hood is 1.725m fxp or ~129m credits or even better 230k coal but the duke of york, t7 brit bb is 101k?? another day in WG office another scam, say no thank you move on nothing to see here.
