However when I logged onto the site it say I can't do this. Seems kinda dumb if you ask me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
900 vonKaiser Alpha Tester 2,902 posts 6,252 battles Report post #2 Posted April 3, 2017 I think it's just the packaged deal you can't send as a gift (Ship+Dubloons+Upgrades) but you can buy the ship alone and send it as a gift. At least it seemed I could do it that way when selecting the ship as a stand a lone option. I didn't complete the transaction however so not sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And far as someone getting your gift right away, don't count on it. WG server seem to be messing up today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bought the Alabama last night and have been loving it. It's definitely much tougher. I suggest you just go ahead and buy it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bought the Alabama last night and have been loving it. It's definitely much tougher. I suggest you just go ahead and buy it. I really think the person I have in mind deserves it more than I do. Now that I got pointed in the right direction (and thanks for that guys) the only thing holding me back is wondering if someone else gifted it to him already. I wonder if WG has some system in place to tell me that he already got one. I would hate to waste the effort. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, see a persons record of how well they do in specific ships? Should be a good way to see if they've played any matches in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if this is your issue, but it's at least a possibility to look into. Edited April 3, 2017 by Wulfgarn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because this is from two post up: I was originally going to reply "you have friends?" but thought better of it. Now I regret that decision. Sooooooooooooooo... If you actually took the time to read instead of jumping in feet first you would have noted that my original concern about gifting the boat was solved early on by some actual helpful people pointing out that I can only gift the Boat and Port Slot combo. The issue you responded to (incorrectly) was my wondering if the person had already been gifted the boat by someone else... and two more helpful people gave relevant and constructive suggestions about how to figure that out. Then you showed up... Edited April 3, 2017 by JCC45 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then you showed up... I did. You've been posting nothing but pure confusion and doubt the entire time...which is why I myself was confused and simply told you that I got mine as a gift and that you must be doing something wrong. But keep arguing. Please. It's entertaining to see someone go off the rails completely because they couldn't read the big huge letters that said "FOR YOU" and "BUY AS A GIFT".

Just got lucky for the first time with a SC this morning though, got 1000 dubs. Much, much better than the worthless modifications that I got in the last four lol. If anyone wants to gift me a Scharnhorst or Sims though feel free to lol.
