25 RogueKraken Members 39 posts 2,650 battles Report post #1 Posted October 11, 2017 Good evening, Quick question for you more experienced folks. To my understanding, black friday time normally means a year of premium for half off. Is this bought in dubloons or just flat $? Trying to figure out if I should use the current credit card discount for dubloons or if itd be useless for it. Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly don't remember if any of the tech tree premiums or premium time in game (for doubloons) was on sale. Discounted doubloons are always nice to have on hand if you have the extra cash. The Black Friday sales were all bundles. The big bundle was a great price, like $400 for every premium ship in the game at that time. There were many smaller bundles where the savings were ok, like 20-30% off and they were nation based (UK ship bundle for instance). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can only make one purchase of the year premium half off, but you can do this for each game individually. So you can buy it for ship and for tanks on the same account, and since the time is shared it's 2 years for the price of 1 year. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last year a 50% off the Tirptiz appeared on their site. It is quite possible more of such deals may end up there this year as well, you never know. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well when I got my Tirpitz, someone posted on here about it. We all thought it was a scam. However they had a very limited quantity. Some of took a shot, after all you could pay via PayPal. Score! It was just like buying a ship in the premium shop, but at 50% off. So yes - I'd advise that - I visit the site every once in a while to see what they have. It would be worth setting up an account, etc... Getting the Tirpitz at 50% off was, for me, a deal I'd been waiting for since beta. Liked the ship but not the price. Took a long time but finally got it at the price I wanted. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It wasn't a rebate. In my IJN bundle purchase, for $83.99 I got Yubari, Kamikaze, Mikasa, 3 empty ship slots, and 20K doubloons That's $100 in Doubloons... not counting the extra ship slots and some neat floaty botes. Only needed 10K doubs to free XP to the Trump Wagon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All your Black Friday stores are selling the same crapmade by other companies so they have to compete with eachother. Games are only selling what they made, therefore they control the pricing and availability with a monopoly. Edited October 12, 2017 by w4spl3g Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
