I already have 77 reserve slots (44 vacant). Of the 33 reserve captains I have 4 of them of 0 points and 3 of them have 1 point. I really believe that this is the most useless container item because the aren't an inventory item so you can't sell them. Kind regards, A frustrated Captian_Dilbert 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1,247 [SCCC] FayFay731 Members 1,137 posts 9,687 battles Report post #5 Posted August 13, 2017 Som people would prefer to have them (e.g. newer players with few reserves slots). Although a reduced chance of getting them would be great. Maybe if players were able to set stricter container rewards at the cost of reduced super container chance that would be great. Although the entire removal of this reward is not needed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1,251 [BKSHD] MidnightShamalan Members 2,207 posts 6,260 battles Report post #6 Posted August 13, 2017 yeah, it's annoying to rack up those unused commander slots. but i'm sure new players really appreciate them. what we need is the option to sell them for a little silver, so that the people who don't need them are still getting something. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
105 [WOLF1] oldblackdog Members 360 posts 74,960 battles Report post #7 Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) 58 vacant reserve slots. Can't use them, can't sell them, so they just sit there taking up space. I guess a dozen or so would be useful, but all the extra places in reserve are a bit silly...

Removing them completely so that nobody has an opportunity to get them afterwards? No. WG is pretty generous in some ways. Let's not get entitled and screw things up for ourselves. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Being able to sell them would be perfectly ok, but removing them? No. I, for one, am not claiming that I have been "shafted". I'm just expressing a bit of bemusement at all of these empty bunks. I could play this game for a hundred years and I would never have any use for so many extra reserve slots. If we could sell them (as we can do with other surplus items in the inventory), that would be great. Otherwise, they will just sit there unused, taking up memory space on the WoWS server.

1,183 [PTRGT] mohawkdriver [PTRGT] Members 4,535 posts 16,961 battles Report post #13 Posted August 13, 2017 I agree. I have too many of them due to container prizes. 10 or 12 extra slots don't help anything much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
7,759 [PVE] Taylor3006 [PVE] Members 11,944 posts 30,790 battles Report post #14 Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) I don't mind them giving them out and hope they do not stop. However I too have like 80 of them, using less than a dozen slots and it is a bit much. Everything in the game should be sellable or dismissible, this penchant for forcing players to keep stuff is kinda silly and it only serves to engender a bit of angst towards Wargaming as a company. Everything should be sellable, even the event flags you have cluttering up your port. Personalization of our ships isn't a thing, uncluttering our ports isn't a thing, customization of captain names/portraits isn't a thing..... IMHO ignoring these simple, easy to fix quality of life issues is stupid. It does not affect gameplay, no one else would ever care if I had a "I Voted" flag, and if I want to call the captain of my battleship "Harry McBoatyMcBoatface" and use a picture of Sponge Bob as his portrait, it matters to no one but me. Little things like this matter to many players and for those who don't care about it, does not affect them one iota. Everyone wins. BTW for those who say you get them for "free", well only kind of. Remember you get them for playing the game and player participation is important for Wargaming to make their money. It is an earned incentive kind of like any retailer's reward system. Not really free unless you find your time valueless. Edited August 13, 2017 by Taylor3006 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
278 [VOC] StableGenius Beta Testers 1,130 posts 6,779 battles Report post #15 Posted August 13, 2017 Maybe WG should implement that you can sell your slots for lets say; $ 10.000 each? Like how it goes with camo and flags. It was already mentioned by @DOCTOR_CITADEL, some people need the slots and some people don't. You can't ask from WG to completely remove them. What topic would be next when they actually removed them? Then you get players who complain about not getting any slots any more... You get it for free, don't complain.. Maybe something for in the near future @NikoPower? Slots you can buy or sell? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Once you have a premium ship and it pops in the SC, it rerolls until you get a ship you don't have. Once you max out on reserve slots, make them turn into port slots, then free xp, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3,882 [WTFS] TheKrimzonDemon Members 9,336 posts 13,771 battles Report post #17 Posted August 13, 2017 I get them roughly every 10th container, and I'm utterly sick of it. I have well over 100 places in my reserve, with something like 70 free. The one thing I do NOT need is reserve spaces. Port slots, either, and those come in containers, as well. I have 77 free port slots right now. I'm not complaining about free stuff, I LOVE free stuff! I'm saying that my containers are full of stuff that I CAN'T USE. That, right there, is an issue I feel needs to be addressed. More, slots have nothing to do with any of the container choices, so I don't understand why they're even in the equation to begin with.

1,662 [CALM] YamatoA150 Beta Testers 6,838 posts 6,088 battles Report post #19 Posted August 13, 2017 I'd rather WG keep them. It's saved me needing to purchase any commander slots, which I do need as I occasionally build alternate Captains for certain ships (mostly the non-IJN ships now that the ARP spares can be reassigned to other ships).

Perhaps there are others that don't, yeah? Try to think about what others may need/want, instead of just your own needs, when making these kinds of posts. I do remember when I first started playing WoWS and one thing I have never experienced was a lack of captain reserve slots. So maybe WG could enhance the container program to look at what captains already have (reserve slots, port slots, special upgrades, etc....note I'm not including signal flags, camo, and consumables) and maybe not include things like reserve slots in containers for captains that have an over obundance. Or maybe they could just give you the option to remove say 1-3 items (again from a restriced list) from containers. Regarding getting stuff for free, for many of us containers are not free. I run a premium account and thus one of the benefits is increased XP which means increased containers, so I am quite often actually paying for the containers. Additionally, since containers are now a permanent part of the WoWS economy the idea of "getting free stuff" I do not believe is valid. Getting free stuff is more akin to what WG did last year for their birthday when they gave away tons of Dragon flags based on the number of battles played and tier 10 ships in port.

Or trade them for port slots. In containers you get either 4 reserve spots or 1 port slot. Even if we could trade them 8 reserve for 1 port slot would be a good option to have.

743 [CAST] Murcc [CAST] Members 2,844 posts 12,007 battles Report post #24 Posted August 16, 2017 I always like getting them when I didn't have many. It helped when moving captains around. I presently have 50 captain reserve spots and 20 of the are empty. Actually, I have the empty 20 reserve spots filled with 0 point captains in case I get awarded a captain without a spot. Then I get a free spot with him. I am still ok with seeing the reserve spots in the crates, but don't really need them anymore. Trading for port slots would be nice, even if it was 4 to 1 or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
