5,206 [PVE] Sovereigndawg Members 12,079 posts 21,321 battles Report post #1 Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) I really liked the idea of a Super Container mission that was actually doable. I spent a lot of time with the Izyaslav in co op and ground out half of the mission that way. It's more fun when you are killing 4 and 5 ships at a time in 6 minutes or less and get 350 to 400 base xp per battle. The most boring part about it is Victory, Victory, Victory, Victory, Victory, Victory, Victory, Victory, Victory, Victory, Victory, Victory... anyway you get my point. I finished the mission and all I got was a crumby mod upgrade. I felt so let down. I would rather have a root canal (or step in dog poo barefoot) than get those crappy, waste of a super container upgrades. Ok, the mod things are slightly better than a root canal (I'm on the fence about the dog poo) but not by much. Please war gaming, take those unwanted items out of the Super Containers and make them Super again. Sell them for 1.5 mil credits and you will see how valued they aren't. I know that a few of you guys use them, but they really are not at all super and are only worth 650,000 credits. Truthfully after all that grind I would have rather gotten a Try Your Luck with 4 signals in it (I at least expect that), than the let down I got with the totally undesirable Consumable upgrade, stupid piece of Dog Dookie. I was going to insert a pile of dog poo but then I found this Corgi picture. I feel poppy's owners pain. My dog although not a corgi, loves cat poop and would keep the old litter box clean if I didn't beat her to it most of the time. I am not sure if this is naming and shaming but I don't think Poppy will mind. Edited March 18, 2018 by Sovereigndawg 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you would read what I said, I did suggest to sell them for 1.5 mil credits and if they did and then you got a Super container with 10 million in it you could buy 6 of the (to me) useless things. Keep them in the game but get them out of the super containers please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a very iffy situation that requires continued attention. Speed boost mod? Best in slot. Smoke mod? Crap. Radar boost mod? Oppressively good on certain ships. Honestly sort of messes up the game. Spotter plane mod? Trash. The real problem, though, is the randomness with which they are acquired. If they're made good, then players will complain that they don't have enough reliable access to them. If they're made bad, players will feel cheated when they get them in SCs instead of something more valuable. tldr: These need to stop being in SCs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Many didn't like the Mod Upgrades so requested it be changed (although that was probably because they'd already got the ones they wanted so just decided, 'don't want any more - change them'). That's not an issue as it's the same reason I wish they were still available with a higher % chance; because I would like them lol. The free stuff comment was just my thoughts. Overall I wouldn't mind a rise in chance for a SC, maybe 2% and 4% as, like you say, you do get that 'SC! WooHoo!' feeling, then if it's not anything you were hoping for, a big meh. Just a thought - why not, if you are successful at getting a SC, get a random level of for your win (0-20% Level One; 21-40% Level Two and so on). Then just have a number of prizes at each level so that a person can choose what would be the prize. So it wouldn't be a random mod upgrade, but a choice - at every level you could have an 'Free XP' or credit boost as fallback choices.

I should also have mentioned that the random containers should come with a choice and a chance for a super container just like the daily ones.The whole decide which one and the graphics are part of the excitement. Maybe they do have a chance to be super but I don't think they do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got a few SC when they were first introduced in November last year - one every week or two. But when they changed the drop rates (sometime in December) I didn't get one despite opening 2-3 containers per day. I would have assumed that they were removed from the game if it wasn't for lucky bastards whinging about the junk they were getting on the forums. However, two weeks ago I got a SC just as I ranked out. Then, I got two from the Yamamoto mission. Feels like it is raining again after a long drought, of some 9 months or so. I like like that you can do some missions for guaranteed SC. Much more reliable that waiting forever for a drop that never comes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

7,759 [PVE] Taylor3006 [PVE] Members 11,945 posts 30,793 battles Report post #21 Posted August 15, 2017 IMHO they should remove the modules from the super containers and put them for sale with the other modules. They really are not that special. Assuming that is not going to happen, put one of each of the "special" modules in a super container or one special and several standard modules that everyone uses. Getting a module in a super container is pretty disheartening, very much like when you get a container with one signal flag like in the special missions for collections. I know Wargaming thinks it is a great prize, personally it reminds me there are plenty of other great games competing for my time and money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1,115 Wolcott Alpha Tester 2,552 posts Report post #22 Posted August 15, 2017 I was pretty excited for supercontainers when it was introduced. Since I wasn't grinding anything I had no use for credits or flags, so I've been choosing TYL crates from day one. Within a week I received a SC and it contained a Blyskawica. I was absolutely thrilled and vowed never to pick any crate other than TYL. Ten months later, Blyskawica remains my best reward from a SC. I guess WG was bothered that many players were initially getting some pretty awesome SCs (I even recall a twitch streamer receiving an Imperator Nikolai), so they decided to secretly nerf them in an update. To make it worse, they stuffed these SCs with 'special' upgrades. I ended up with three spotter plane modules which were useless to me because none of the BBs I play have spotter planes to begin with. People say the smoke mod works best on Perth, but I don't even play that ship, much less own one. Said it before and I'll say it again. These upgrades are not special and should be removed from SCs entirely. Just make them rewards for completing campaign missions like Honorable Service. Want to know what special really is? Take a look at Aiming Systems Mod 0. I guess that upgrade doesn't get as much attention because it can only be mounted on Iwaki, Yubari and Katori. But what a reward if it could be mounted on any ship and found only in SCs. Now that would be special. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
