This WoWs holiday season is awesome

[Kamiyama]

I just want to say that 25 days left for Santa City even and 24 days left for Asymmetric Battle is a match made in heaven. It's going to be easy for players to fill out all the rewards in the Santa City event and if you use credit boosters and free XP boosters in Asymm you're going to earn a lot of rewards there too.

I haven't had any luck with the santa containers yet but just these two events are rewarding enough.

For mega crates you should be looking at a ship drop roughly 1 out of every 7 crates, depending on your luck.

So that's 5x certs (5x tier ten ships) multiplied by 7.

Got two ships free during the holiday season. All and all It was pretty good . I did buy
80 Christmas crates and picked up 19 ships most were tier 10. To be honest the tier 10s seemed to drop as good as lower tier ships. Salvage yard picked up three more ships why WG feels It has to give free ships is beyond me for using up stored income but its very nice to end this year. I thought that WG was more than generous but I still did miss some of my steel rewards from the dockyard that kind of upsets me 2000 steel they trimmed off and that has nothing to do with the Christmas events. And battle pass just hope they return at the same amount I don't think WG Is ever going to return back getting 2000 steel for the rewards during the dockyard...I did pay cash In advance or at least add more 250 steel ship building phases rewards at least eight more ship building phases to make up the difference for my rewards,should have been 8000 steel not 6000 steel.I have a hard time spending well over 200 dollars for less steel for the horrible return when paying in advance...

Make sure you're turning in your tickets for the largest boxes. You have a far better chance of getting ships from those.

How much xp y'all making on asym? I played a couple and it only seemed equivalent to a poor ops run or bad randoms/ranked game.

Emphasis on luck. 4 of the 10 20 packs I opened so far only had 2.

Over 1000 which is all that matters for snowflakes.

To me it looks like a mediocre win on Random but better than almost any loss and since you win all the time...

Credits are a bit less than Random as well, but battles have a reasonable chance of being faster. I'd say for random players it may be hit or miss. Just matters what's fun to you. For coop players it'll look fantastic.

Ouch, unlucky. As I said earlier though, ship drop rates for megas are about one-in-seven/eight or so (typically you're looking at 3 in a 20 mega-crate pack, sometimes one fewer, rarely more).

But obviously it *is* gambling, so there's always the possibility you'll be unlucky (can't remember how the "bad luck protection" works on megacrates, but IIRC there is some if you open enough?).

[CRCGamer]

The bad luck protection on the mega santa crates is you will get a pity drop of a ship every 15. So you will at minimum get one ship for a full set of 20 boxes.

[CriTical]

yes. so awesome. only casual mates in my team. AWESOME

Pads unlock your tier ten ships so next year you will get more chances,your were so close to having a ship drop. If you had any lower tier ships odds a ship would have dropped a ship for you. And If you unlocked all your ships tier 5 thru 7 you also would have gotten lots of coal.And WG anniversary event you also get great rewards....

[carelessjet2]

The Portal Chips were for the Pearl Harbour event. With the best three players in chips gathered of each team (USA or Japan, you had to choose in the news message) getting a ship gifted (California for US, Hyuuga for Japan). And the next 47 of each team getting some small rewards.
It technically ended a few days ago, but no results have been published yet.
