7:31 Which Gift Container Should You Get
Wargaming, the masters of cashing in on artificial scarcity.
I find it interesting that the drop rate for premium time is lower than ships. I wonder if that’s because work gaming knows that everyone wants ships or do they value premium Time above the ships. I will need to check how much premium time I have left and see how much I need to get another year. And after that we’ll see
buy premium time the 7 days at christmas it 50% off but in the wows menu not the in game store 360days 12.500
Got my Missouri from a Santa container a couple of years ago. Planning to drive about 10 minutes to Ford Island on the 7th to say hi to the real Missouri and pay my respects to the Arizona.
Biying guide short and concise: never ever ever buy no Wargaming gamble boxes. Very simple.
I spent quite a few bob last year on Mega Containers. That said I was really lucky, managed to get a ship virtually every other container including Thunderer, Smolensk amongst many, many Rare ships. Also managed to get nearly 5 years of Premium time as they were giving it out in 180 days. Mrega Containers are the ONLY way to go.
you forgot to add : I’m not paid by Wargaming to say this 😀
@DrMcZonkers Wish I was, I pay them a ludicrous amount of money but I can afford to, and no I’m not a Whale by any stretch of the imagination but some might call me that but definitely not FTP either. I just enjoy it and try to ignore the toxic bitchers and moaners.
@clansome Yeah, that’s what a paid actor would say. Jk
Did you already have many premium ships in port?
@burt591 I had quite a few but it was interesting how things went with Santa Crates. They definitely fill up the lower Tiers first but then throw in a top Tier/Rare. A sprat to catch a mackerel, another British idiom.
With the Black Friday crates I had most of the non B ships already, and there are now only 2 B ships, I don’t have Tirpitz & Kaga. I have a mountain of coal so tomorrow will be buying Kearsarge with coupon and then have mission to get another 2,500 doubs. Only ship I bought was Cossack B this year. I intend to just save doubs this year and collect the snowflakes or whatever.
I was lucky last year 20 mega containers got me 7 ships. Including the neustrashimy. That boat was over 250k coal alone. Usually xmass event is best time to spend money on the game. Also got Mainz, prince eugen, indomitable ect. So I got mostly tier 8+ ships.
Hey mount! In the mega container, it’s 1.5% for FIVE red free XP, not seven like you said. Weird though.
wonder if they will have a short list of ships you will get first this year, or did they learn their lesson from the makarov containers
Of the many products offered by Wargaming I still find WoWs to be my favorite but finding the time to play has always been the problem and being in a clan of 6 players in WoWs and 68 in WoT we members of _DD Dancom Delta are bottom of the stats in any category our clan members in WoT are spread globally with most players from Europe Africa and Australia and the remainder in North America which makes any organized gameplay problematic and it is only around Christmas season that I notice an uptick in player member activity. As for the gift boxes my comment is they seem to be of the same formula as WoT I mean really after buying the minimum number of gift boxes in WoT over the past 6 years my premium ships are but a few but my premium account is set to expire in March of 2030! LOL
Warning:
As a nearly 7 years players with huge variety of ships, and experience, i highly reccomend you NOT to bother with the crates.
Especially if you are a new player hoping to win a particular ship or a some of these.
This event is a scam and in past years the outcome of the boxes used to be completely rigged(you can search that information yourself) which is the reason nowdays you see the drop chances and a slightly changed system which nevertheless is outrageous.
to put it simple back in the day you simplky could not get the super rare ships if u did not have anything else already, and now they just gave them a 1% chance for the super expensive box.. the 1 percent though of how many outcomes?
if there 40 ships for example in the pool for you of these super rare ships,in order to get a specific one, divide that percentage with 40…
to put it simple every 100 boxes you MAY get ONE rare ship.
to get the ship that you want in average it may take 4000 boxes!!! to not exagertate though if u win all ships from other other categories, or simply you own most of these the chances improve significant since if u own all ships from a particular pool, it will open instead a ship of another pool..
nevertheless i highly reccomend you to stay away from these and not encourage WG mocking you with these crates.
Just open the freebies and stay away from the bait.
unless you like to play with rigged rouletes or you are an oil prince, keep on what can i say
To be honest it seems like Wargaming is getting cheaper and cheaper with their containers every year. All the while charging more and more for them.
It seems, that WG changed the containers. They now include expandable camos (5% chance) and Silver (10% chance). The list is on the russian website. Just be aware as those might be a blanks for some people.
If you crunch the numbers, and based results off of $$$ spent, the Mega does NOT have a 2x chance of getting a ship. it is just 1 ship higher for ~$300 total spent..
I think Mega are better, but not from the ship aspect, but because of the bonuses (XP, Free XP, Commander, Ship).
Here is an example using ~$300 spent on Big vs Mega:
Big:
Ships: 9 ships across the 100 crates
bonuses: 320x across 100 crates
Mega:
Ships: 10.4 ships across the 65 crates
Bonuses: 530x across 65 crates (equal or larger bonus sizes)
etc.
you must have paid for the WG christmas party for everybody every year spending that much lol
I’ve got some t8 premiums from last year like the bagration that i’ve never played
I’d agree. I’d be disappointed if I received signals or even green economic boosters since they are pretty easy to come by without using containers, and the chance of a premium ship is very low if you don’t go with the Mega container. So if I had the ability to get a Mega container, I’d do so rather than using the same amount of tickets (or money) to get the smaller ones.
Here is the shorter version of the guide:
1. DON’T BUY THE CONTAINERS.
I probably have 150 ships and the ones that I play most regularly probably don’t number over a dozen.
Some information of how already having ships works:
The roll will fix what category of ship you get (low tier, mid tier or high tier). Then it will randomly get you a ship in that category. Then and only if there is no ship you don’t have in that category will it reroll to give you a ship in another category. So you need to get all the thrash out before your chances of high tier ships increase. If you already have most low tier premiums, spending your coal (and even dubs) on getting the last couple t5/t6 you don’t have is worth it because instead of getting this ship in crates you’ll get something better.
The new battlepass has much less to love in terms of seasons bonuses, there is no longer a 2% bonus for all dubs received and the discount on commander skill retraining for dubloons is gone… feels like WG has got stingy, not really in the spirit of the season. Something for all players to be aware of when they make the decision to spend a lot of dubloons on the seasons bonuses, the value from this has materially dropped.
Of course you’ve got to sell the 45%ers credits for money lul
