palestreamer Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 So for 2500 dubs you get 2500 dubs back, plus a 10 point captain, 12,000 coal, a T8 economic package, blue and green boosters, and some other odds and ends. Not much to complain about this time around? 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ensign Cthulhu Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 There are two versions of it. One pays for itself; the other does not, and IIRC gives extra coal instead. Which you get is the luck of the draw. Some people are understandably annoyed that they didn't get the doubloon track. 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means it’s another skippable BP for me. Oh well, guess I’ll just save those 2500 doubloons and put them toward my Wisconsin. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cammo1962 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 (edited) And the fun part with the new Event Pass it hit the fan on the official NA stream yesterday evening for all to see. But I was one of the "lucky" ones that have the doubloons in my Event Pass so I guess the RNG was on my side 😂 Edited April 11 by Cammo1962 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itwastuesday Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 So spend money to get dubs, spend dubs on grind, grind, have the exact same amount of dubs. No thanks. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Same amount of" doubloons plus the shiny toys & stuff earned via the amount of grinding one did. Of course if one doesn't have time to grind, then skipping the spending of doubloons is an understandable act. Also understandable if one has a conscientious objection. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Efros Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Seems an awful lot of effort on WGs end to design an event, construct new camos to be purchased with the proceeds from the event. Especially when the camos, apart from looking purty, are essentially useless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a way, I should be happy I got the coal track, otherwise I would have needed to be peddling the hamster wheel for this BP a lot more than I'd might want to do otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some people, the 10-point Commander Ashikaga Teru (with a unique voice-over) is enough of a shiny toy to spend 2,500 doubloons. https://worldofwarships.com/en/news/general-news/golden-week-event-pass/ But, hey, I understand everyone has their own priorities. 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These people are experts at sales, no arguing with that! In a way though, you get 2 battle passes for the price of one, if you use the committed dubs to get the next battle pass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thats not all, keep in mind that golden tokens are for event that follows and I BET you will need more money to buy something what you want , since there will be not enought golden tokens to get it 😄 like I said, win win for them 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaelic_knight Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 no everyone gets there dubs back for paying for the second line . others get more coal instead like i do 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Rawhide Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I wonder how RNG the 'coal' vs. 'doubloon' BP is. I got the doubloons. But I also have a crap load of coal (I don't buy garbage ships even if they are free). So I wonder if they pushed the 'coal' to people who might want it. ***Puts tinfoil hat back on the shelf. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be daft of them not to offer 'personalized' events tailored to get the most likelihood of purchase. That's just marketing 101 in the 21st century. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
