IChase opens 3000 crates

[Dr_Venture]

You ever wonder what it would be like to spend so much money on crates you'd have to get everything right? 

Nice flex there @Hapa_Fodder

 

[Dr_Venture]

I'd like to personally thank @iChase for showing me I will NEVER-EVER-EVER-EVER-EVER get the Enterprise. 3k crates and I think he got it once?

Your looking at $8,070 worth of Doubloons being spent.

[warheart1992]

Wait, was it 3000 or 1000? 

I saw the 1000 one actually gave him I don't know how many doubloons back.

Oh my, just saw the new one with 3k.

Keep in mind people it's on a press account. No real wallets were harmed for the making of this video...

[Dr_Venture]

I like the fact he used wargaming's own press account to show how bad those boxes actually are.

[Sventex]

Conclusion: It's rigged.  The containers are for super-whales only.

3000 crates and not one Missouri 

 

It's sort of impossible to get a Missouri out of a crate when it's still sitting on the account as it is impossible to sell the Missouri. In fact, it's one of the first things he talks about, not being able to sell the Missouri and that's why it's still on the account. 

So enough of the sensationalism and hyperbole, because it's absolutely false.

How is it even false, sensationalism or hyperbole when Ichase said can't regain Missouri or Musashi because he already had it?  What's the lie?

[KilljoyCutter]

So... did he actually spend that money or is it part of his account?   

Also, as pointed out... if he already had Missouri on the account, of course he wouldn't get it again, right?

ichase said he already had a Missouri and Musashi so he couldn't "regain" those.

[cheapinkc]

All this tells me is that crate opening works differently opening all crates at once vs. one at time.  If you already have a ship when opening crates one at time it drops a super container with a ship you don't already have.    So yes a sensationalist video but ultimately pretty useless.

Well I guess it's not a lie, but it's misleading

Do you even know how this stuff works?? 

If you have a ship on the account, it will automatically substitute a SC with another ship. This happens at the time of sale. Because he already had missouri, it will never show up as it has already been substituted.

If he makes money from streaming and posting WOWS Videos he can write it off as a business expense. I watch a guy who cuts $500 pairs of boots in half to show how they are built. Since people like to see such things he makes more than he paid for the boots per video, plus he can write off the boots' cost on his taxes.

[Roken1]

To spend even 600k doubloons (The approximate net spend and how much you'll need to even get 1000 crates) that's around $2400...holy cow.

Yeah sorry, I caught that and edited my post.

For anyone that has gotten crates this year will tell you, they are definately rigged by tier.

When you buy crate packages, you will first get any Tier 5 ships you dont have.

Then Tier 6

Then 7

8

9

 

So if you want a tier 9 ship, you better hope you have all of the Tier 5-8 already because otherwise you'll have to go through those before you reach the ship you wanted.

It isn't necessarily set by tier, by the drop rates are and they are substantialy swayed toward the lower tiers. The super hard to get ships are weighted closer to the Tier 9 ships but are still a hair harder to get. So don't expect Fujin, Kamakaze, Nikolai, etc until you have cleared out all Tier 5-8 and some Tier 9.

 

Going into the deal with your eyes open, don't expect high Tier ships initially and if you are somehow lucky enough to get one, you won the lottery, it is not the norm.

No he didn't spend a dime, he was using a press account.  I'm just pointing out your looking at $8,070 worth of Doubloons being spent.

[Compassghost]

I would hope so, because getting a duplicate Missouri would be the equivalent of getting 1 credit.

Yeah, I wasn't calling hyperbole or sensationalism on Ichase part, just the really really large bold colored wording in the OP.

This was a press acct supplied to some CCs.. the dubloons are provided with the account.     He didn't spend any money.

black_falcon120's Christmas 2020 Crate Data Collection (Responses) - Google Sheets

17,000+ Santa crates.

Five Missouri drops, btw.  Talk about rare!  0.03% chance**.  Same for Enterprise.

Only three Benhams.  One hundred fifty three Makarovs.

 

** That chance is per crate. Per ship drop, it is considerably higher: 0.24%.

All this depends on what you have in port already; the numbers are from the average port content.

IF the ships on the account, chances are it won't even be picked.

[KilljoyCutter]

I don't think WG minds people out there actually buying 1000s of crates in order to prove what we already know about how the crates are slanted.
