I did.. but it loses the timing.. that first long post was actually about 8 hours of opening etc

 

[Tigershark87]

Grats on the 180 days premium .. I'm going to buy some crates this weekend and hope for the best :)

Thanks... it makes it worth it.. I cataloging this for my own purposes, but also as an open demonstration of what happens to one random person...

 

 

[Elo_J_Fudpucker]

( ...jeeez.. ranked is not my thing tonight...combo of making mistakes myself and teammates that..well.. you know the drill .. time for 3 Crates... only 6 left I think) 

15 Red Dragon
15 Frosty Tree
1000 GC

( dinner.. yeah.. food ..that's the ticket)

[Elo_J_Fudpucker]

(Mmmmm food good ...now ... for the last three of this batch of 20)

15 Ouroboros
Huanghe w/10 pt capt

(oops.. I guess I l;ost count.. it was the last two... lul)

[Elo_J_Fudpucker]

So .. 50 $2.99 boxes
13.29
13.29
47.99
47.99

$123.17

Okhotnik  V=18?
Hood  V=45
Mutsu V=30?
Gallant V=18
Huanghe V=22

7000 GC  V=32.30

180 premium  V=45

sub total hard items $210.30

90 Wyvern Flags
60 Dragon
75 Red Dragon
30 Hydra
15 Ouroboros

270 flags at 45,000 silver each = $12,150,000 SIlver ( you can convert that to something else... it made my brain hurt so I stopped)

270 Frosty Green Tree Camo @ $52,500s = $14,175,000 Silver

I did not count the presents in this summation.  If my math is right, I'd say I got fair value.. not quite as good as last year, where I rough figured around a 3-1 ration of value to money spent.. but still a value.

[Elo_J_Fudpucker]

Hi .. my name is Elo and I has been only 6 hours since I opened a crate... 

20 Mega Crates

30 Frosty
30 Frosty
2000 Loonies
2000 Loonies
15 Type 59
15 Type 59
30 Ouroboros
30 Red dragon
2000 Loonies
30 Red Dragon
30 Frosty
30 Frosty
30 Frosty
30 Ouroboros
30 Hydra
De Grasse
15 Type 59
30 Dragon
2000 Loonies
Duca Da'Costa

Mega cratage not quite as good a return methinks as the Biggun cratage... 8000 Loonies, DeGrasse and Duca Da'Costa and a ton of flag/camo $74.99.

I think a successful run of opening boxes grants one the direct value  of ship and coin of *more than what is paid* and the camo and flaggage is a bonus.

[Elo_J_Fudpucker]

(So the Ludicrous Spending rolls on with another lot of 20 Big's from the Crate pusher)

15 Frosty Tree
Okt.Revolutsiya
(well now.. that was nice.. a ship right off.. time to go beat my head on ranked for a bit) 

( so out for a Ranked battle in my Kut for a loss, and then a win, so.. Open 2 crates by gum!)
1000 Loonies
15 Frosties
( and when I win another ranked battle I'll come back and open a couple of more...)
( so dang scoobie... ranked can be brutal..:) 
15 Frosties
1000 Loonies

[Elo_J_Fudpucker]

(so t'were the day before shipmas, eh?)
(we shall continue where we left off.. 14 more to go I think)

Guilio Cesare
15 Hydra
15 Frosty
1000 Loonies

( 10 left... off to do things.. )

[Elo_J_Fudpucker]

(..ugh,... had to adult and go clear the driveway of the snow capped with ice... and a 12" of snow on the way for tomorrow!!)
                             (so I think that deserves like 4 crates to be opened?.. yes I think so)

15 Red dragon
15 Ouroboros
15 Red dragon
90 Days Premium (whoohoo!)

( this has been a good run from lot this 20, and it seems that opening them a few at a time does make a difference.)

 

[Elo_J_Fudpucker]

(win one lose one, win one lose one...Ranked can be tough...  time for a couple of Crates)

15 Dragon
15 Hydra

(ok that did not please us)

15 Ouroboros
15 Dragon

(only two left) ( I know, you're all saying, just open them,.. but nope... )

You're like the opposite of 1800 gamblers help line.  I did a couple fives of the bigs when it kicked off, had Ohot and Degrasse in one, flags, camos and 1000 dubs in the other.  Then I did a 20x big this morning and landed Arizona, Molotov, and Leningrad, along with a ton FFC (F'n Fir Camo).  I'm on the brink of going for another 20 bigs, don't know how long I can hold out.....

I haven't tried the mega, but the big feels like the best value to me, unless you want to ensconce yourself in Fir until Xmas '20.  I also don't think the speed in which you open them has any effect in what you get, but your method has been fun to watch.

[PopPop3]

that was amusing and fun to read. now i don't dare to start buying any more crates. i stopped at about $33.00 worth. dude seriously don't go anywhere near las vegas.
