82 [GUTS] Capt_Binkley Beta Testers 471 posts 10,457 battles Report post #1 Posted October 26, 2017 I thoroughly enjoyed the Christmas crates last year. They were chock full of very useful camos, flags, credits, and ships. I read through the description of the Halloween crates and thought "ok, there seems to be some good stuff on this list, and a few dogs. I'll give it a go" I bought 5 crates from the shop. What an absolute waste of money. 4 of the 5 are those god-awful, ugly as sin, campaign camos. Why the heck would I put that on my ship? They are ugly as can be and do practically nothing to help. I've got so much camo in my inventory right now that I can't play through it all. WG, readjust your award formula. Flags would be great. This stuff is just awful. Worse yet, you won't even let me sell it out of my inventory. At least let me do that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd trade you that nonsense for the Halloween Event Camos in a heartbeat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I said in another thread; about the only camo I want for certain is the St Louis/Igor camo. The only other ship I ever come close to using regularly is Nassau/Jackal. The Bismark and Lexinton camos are distant maybe-sorta-kindas; and I don't much care for the rest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3,369 [WPS] enderland07 Members 4,181 posts 9,619 battles Report post #5 Posted October 26, 2017 Someone will always complain. I've seen people complaining about getting too few fancy camos and too many now. I bought the 55 container pack. Netted me 40k doubloons, a ton of free xp/signals/camos, and all the fancy camos (that I might never use). Well worth it imo. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My friend, these lights you see here in Vegas....well, there is a reason they are so bright....just buy some more crates, you will eventually get what you hoped for......After an easy 2k from a play for free game........in for a penny in for a pound..... buy more, buy more often is my motto Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3,855 RedSeaBear Members 5,450 posts 21,046 battles Report post #7 Posted October 26, 2017 I would just like the option to pick which halloween premium camo I get. Because I got the Blade and Jackal camos which go on ships I don't own and probably won't be playing. A better system, I think, would be "Hey I just won a premium halloween camo, now which 'One' should I pick. Oh I'll pick the one for my favorite ship I Own."

Is it greed that you though "some good stuff"? But you did not get it from 5 crates??? EDIT - 5 crates did not give you what you want, so instead of complain about it, buy the 55 crates one They ugly? So anti event social person - I wonder why they call it Halloween for any reason? Nothing to help?? It cosmetic bruh - get it??? You cant sell it, IT PERMANENT for a reason oh, if you so anti about it, you can choose not to see the camo using the ship filter cog selection Problem solved Edited October 26, 2017 by ObiwankzKenobi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got the Wakatake camo (not gonna use but it's nice) and the Kagero camo (I'm halfway to that ship, all those bonuses will come in handy). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

12,714 [PSP] Snargfargle [PSP] Members 19,325 posts Report post #25 Posted October 30, 2017 Halloween has been a good season for me. I've gone from having almost no temporary camouflages to an inventory containing over 175 of them, all from just playing the game. I got two permanent camouflages and two bunches of 75 signal flags too. I'm still waiting to see what I'll get for that 5th scenario star (if I ever get a good team again, that is).
