Now all players who own any permanent camouflage for Khabarovsk or Grosser Kurfürst at the time when the ships are removed from the Tech Tree will receive the Type 20 permanent camouflage for Delny or Preussen, respectively. But last time, players who had a permanent camouflage for Moskva didn't receive a similar camouflage for Alexander Nevsky, and we decided to change our approach. The replacement is similar to the one that was made for Moskva and Alexander Nevsky. More details are available here and here. An important change in the coming year will be the replacement of Khabarovsk and Grosser Kurfürst by Delny and Preussen in the Tech Tree.The bottom line is that now you have a choice of different types of containers and all the information you need to make a decision.
You will be able to play Tier X ships to earn New Year Certificates-a special temporary resource that can be exchanged in Update 0.10.11 for Santa's Gift containers, as well as Santa’s Big Gift and Santa's Mega Gift containers, which include more rewards and have higher chances of dropping a Premium ship. The New Year celebrations in Update 0.10.11 will feature not only the disclosed drop rates for items from containers, but also reworked victory bonuses.You'll be able to complete the mission playing both variants. The mission will be credited only if you have both ships on your account-the original ship and the black version. In order not to confuse players, on the upcoming Black Friday we will not position this mission as part of the bundles that can be sold, especially when the original ship is no longer available for purchase. This mission was added from our side to reward our loyal customers who already purchased the standard version of the ship and provide them with an opportunity to earn extra Doubloons or other resources. We have carefully considered your feedback from the previous Black Friday regarding missions that return some Doubloons or resources when obtaining a Black ship, if you already have the original version. Update 0.10.10 kicks off Black Friday.For example, in Update 0.10.9, we used the auction mechanics to sell Early Access to new German Tier X battleship Schlieffen instead of random bundles or containers. We continue to search for alternative monetization mechanics.We will add the requirement for a user to confirm the age of 18+ to make such a purchase.We will add a warning about the nature of randomness and the need to approach the purchase reasonably.This year, for all containers and random bundles sold for real money or Doubloons: On top of this, we also have two more initiatives that we also promised to implement-warning about the nature of randomness and additional protection for children.Subsequently, after these publications, there was another frequent question: how will New Year containers work? They will work in a similar way to our current WH40k containers, with different categories of drops and all content within a category having the same chances.You can read more about this change here and here. The upcoming Black Friday and New Year monetization activities will also be affected by this change as well as all new activities involving containers from now on. There were a lot of open questions and we were not certain that we will manage to get all the details and descriptions clear in time. Initially, we promised a much less precise deadline (basically somewhere in 2022). An important change has been the disclosure of drop rates for items: from November 2021, all new containers and random bundles that go on sale will also be provided with the complete drop rates.Today, it's time to share our progress on our commitments and the plans for the foreseeable future. It has been two months since we published an important message for the community, which you can find here.
