Drop rates are really bad

[Mrthekid]

Every year I could at least get 5-6 ships (min from santa containers + prem days and many dubs) but this year they are absolutely bad, only 2 ships (T5 and T8) from 18 mega santa container and 25+ ordinary santa containers.
From tons of black friday prem + ordinary containers = 0 Ships
From 110+ super containers 0 Ships (WOWs BD event)
...
Ultimate Reward is really not cool and doesn't meet the demnad in Star Trek you play 100s of games(or spend tons of dubs) for perma camo? Really?
....

Seriously wows step up the rewards please. Personally I use event pass and mostly purchase prem containers in events but I don't think I'll be doing that anymore since it doesn't pay off for almost a year.

Drop rates are published alongside the containers.
I've not noticed any change - I got three ships out of the free mega containers I've opened so far.

In previous years the drop rates were very accurate for me. On average one ship for every 7-8 containers or so. So typically 3 for every 25 mega containers.

Super containers got nerfed a year or two back because of how easy they were to get, although I don't recall ships' drop rates being as hard hit as doubs. Either way, 110 modern super containers is like ~55 from back in the day.

And, of course, if you've got all the ships in the supercontainer drop list, you won't be getting any new ones.

Many thanks for response,
I'm aware they are published but it says guarantee a drop in ... containers, which means you can have more. It doesn't mean you have to open 10 containers to get 1 10% drop you can get 2-3 drops in 10.
I don't have all ships in super containers (I don't have many of them) but you know, having 0 ships from drops for so long and waiting for this even for a year and all you get 2 ships... That is really messed up situation personally. I opened more than 43 santa containers (18 mega 25+ ordinary and last try I'm gonna be opening 30+ as well but this event was nothing like it should be... 0 Prem days, so little dubs, 2 ships out of 43+...) and 2 ships is really low... And black friday was disappointing as well, and 110 sup containers were also you know...
I wanted WOWs' developers and editors to know, I've been seeing its adds everywhere and if you want people to join you should offer them something. This is just disappointing.

Odds are an average. Sometimes you get lucky and have a hotstreak; sometimes you get unlucky and have a bad streak.

The crates have the drop-protection to guarantee that even if you get an especially bad cold streak, you'll still get a ship at the fixed amount.

The drop-protection *resets if you get a ship* - it's a minimum, not a bonus.

Buy the ships u want directly, The boxes are just gambling.

Sure, if people don't have a lot of the ships in the drop list; or what one specific ship that's currently for sale.

If players do have a lot of ships in the drop list, there's break-even points where it's statistically more cost effective to get random ships via the lootboxes; plus you get a load of bonus stuff as boobie prizes; plus there's the ultra-rares in the santa crates which can't be gotten any other way.

Watch YT people started doing 40x Mega's again. Most only get the 15th ship pr lot.

I will do 40 closer to xmas.

Average is 2-3 ships per 20x mega; and if you're getting the 2, it's usually because you've got one of the other expensive rewards like premium time or doubs in place of the third ship.

Naturally people can have bad luck streaks - that's why there's 15-crate drop protection as a mechanic; just like people can have good luck streaks.

As I said in the other thread - I got 4 premiums out of my free mega-crates; and I got 2+ duplicate compensation out of a subsequent 20x mega bundle. Which is pretty much in line with what you'd expect from the published probabilities.

If you've cleared out the low-value trash from the drop list, you should get 4-7 decent premium ships from 40x megas with a ton of bonus boobie prize economic fillers, and the outside chance of a super-rare.

My brother did real well this year five of those very special containers three containers a total of 9000 steel and two 2,500 gold and had 23 mega's unlocked from his ships ,and he also bought one set of Mega's containers ,he got all six of the new ships,but one ship was from the Christmas crates not the megas . So far I have not opened anything until I get the battle pass containers unlocked.

Its just luck thats all.

I am worried my bad luck from Black Friday will carry over, so far the crates I've opened haven't been all that great outside of one giving me 30 days premium time and another giving some dubs. But I haven't cashed in for any Megas yet, so hopefully I get lucky, Christmas crates are usually really good for me.

Funny, I bought 1 pack of mega crates and ended up w 6 ships and 5k dubs. Probably the best in my 5ish years of playing. It is gambling after all.

Hope you luck can rub off on me then lol.

Chances for a ship are actually very slightly better this year than last year. Anything else is just RNG.

To be fair, I am only missing 12 ships off this years list. I have over 600 ships in port. Also, this my primary game and has been for way too long.

That is all I am missing too, I am willing to bet our lists would be similar if not the same.
