Only then does it change to received: I missed out on the first three days of rewards because I did not notice the missing "d" from the button. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, of course "two clicks" is so overcomplicated SMH It is not the two clicks that is complicated, it is knowing you need two clicks. And I haven't missed out on any yet. But if you want to give out some free stuff AND prime the pump with a few free santa crates, you want to make it as simple as possible, because now people (like shown above) aren't going to get the free prime the pump crates. It is counterproductive to Wargamming. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Excellent- a baker's dozen of hero cookies is inbound. For the rest of us who think it's idiotic to not just open the door and get the thing... well we're going to complain about it because that's what we do. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

512 [-TRM-] xHeavy [-TRM-] Members 1,831 posts Report post #12 Posted December 10, 2020 In the day before computers old ladies carefully cut coupons for sale. Along with the green stamps. (This is like two or three generations before some of you were alive) run to the store to grab it. When 1000 people want a type of butter its sold out until the next truck next week. All gone. Never mind today's covid bare shelving. So today I sit carefully like a hawk going over the so called avent and new stuff at armory and god knows what else. Gathering a little of this a little of that. Quest. Gather. World of gathering stuff. =) If you go a month without logging in? And its gone. I suppose a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.

822 [WOLF9] Fletcher7_1944 Members 4,677 posts Report post #14 Posted December 11, 2020 Lol- as usual my timing is perfect! Get new laptop and begin the long arduous download process. (hey I gotta work! I can't simply just babysit a 40 freaking gig download...) WG immediately releases update with a bunch of cool- and time sensitive stuff. I went and got up to date with the Advent calendar yesterday. Missed the first 2 days- they timed out-but I'm on top of it now. Since I don't actually have the game on this comp yet, I can't do the missions for extra free swag- or go to the armory for the free daily bundle. Pretty sure I'm also going to be so far behind that I won't be able to finish the mission for the free French BB in time, either. Boogers!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WG made that one expire too. So click BOTH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
