BB6.5 & BB7 Supply Box Changes?

Hawk010

Good evening,

Recently the supply box interace was changed from the classic page that was used since inception. In the old interace you could see other players that received "Priceless" drops from supply boxes. With this new interface, that has been taken away and you can only see recently opened boxes from other members. After collecting some data over the event with fleetmates that also purchased supply boxes (great source of experts so why not?), we have not seen one "Priceless" drop. In general, we know these drops are inherently rare and not guaranteed, but this change has brought some suspicion of the drop rate changing. I had a feeling it could be because of the increased spending people were doing during the event, but who knows?

Was the drop rate for these items changed? If so, why?

Why was the interface changed to the point we cannot see who got a "Priceless" item? That seems counter-productive on incentivizing people in buying them. (I.E. you see someone you know got a bb7, you may inherently want to spend more to try to also get one, because you know it's possible. This seems questionable now.)

Is the lottery for these going? With the new interface, we cannot see if this is running or not. There is no mention of it in the rules at the bottom of the page, like there was on the previous interface page.

Anyone experience similarities or differences?

Thanks

The point is, that something has changed with the supply boxes that was not made public. Over multiple fleets and hundreds of openings, no one has got one. It seems by changing the interface, this was done to deceive players, when in actuality there isn't a chance for BB/CV7's in supply boxes anymore. Also, it's to call out the "lottery system" that has seemingly disappeared. WE PAY MONEY to have an opportunity/chance at a ship, and also a chance at the lottery, and the lottery isn't happening anymore. That is extremely misleading and messed up.

Do you mean chances changed, everything is the same as usual just changing the page only

I am not sure what is not getting through here.


They took away the screen that shows who won a bb6.5/bb7 or priceless prize. Therefore, it seems that they have diminished or eliminated actually giving bb6.5 or bb7 in the boxes because no one can verify that anyone has gotten one recently.

By taking that away, how are we supposed to know if the lottery is real, or is it fake to get us to spend money. We don't see anyone winning bb6.5/bb7s anymore, and none of us are going to waste money on those unless we know there is a real chance. You can tell us "oh there is a chance" but without PROOF that people are winning them we aren't buying it. It is shady activity.

Seems near impossible to get a ship of any kind from the drops or the boxes. Been playing 2.5 weeks and opened nearly 50 boxes and have only gotten 7 pieces of a ship blueprint. The number of blue prints required to get a ship, even a novice ship, is improbable for time frame of this event. What's the point in even thinking that we could get one when they don't show up often enough to actually get one, much less a Veteran ship?

I think youre talking about the Spring Gift Boxes right?


I'm playing since the event started and currently Im on rank 22. Adding the boxes I got after buying KPcoins I opened a lot of them and got


15 Battleship Blue Prints
4 Hero Blue Pritns
15 Expert Blue Prints

I have no idea how anyone could unlock anything...



And by the way...there is a typo on the event page cause I got 2x -unused piece of hero contracts- (one of them should be battleships)

Not talking spring gift boxes. The supply boxes that have bb7's seem to have crazy lower rates though, after a test of 3000 or so.

I wish they would bring back the lottery and then show who won a random 6.5 or 7.
