Assuming loot boxes will be sold again (plz confirm if they are?) can we please not have another fiasco like last time where Asia gets ripped off.

 

If the other servers are going to get decorations in their bought boxes, can we please get them too?

That's right, what a PR disaster that was...

Is it just me, or do the names of the female commanders sound like the sort they'd use in... er... the adult entertainment industry?

Had to check and yes there is one with that name, Good Job WG !!!

 

I have been asking for pin-up girls for years but I am willing to settle for this !!

[Sir_Direkin]

No complaints though 

 

Plus also we get the ops at the same time as everyone else. Yay! We get to join the big kids' table.

​Ooh, an even greater incentive to pick up dem ladies.

Also want to point out that the new holiday camos look really amazing (well, except for the fireworks one, but with me being in Hong Kong that just seems so ordinary; I'm sure there are others who will really like it). Nice that we can finish off last year's collection as well. I may want to give a tank that gaudy Christmas sweater look.

can't wait for the crayfish camo

[FramFramson]

Really like that ice camo. Plus another chance to finish the Russian blue from last year is nice!

 

That firework camo is also amusingly appropriate for SPGs...

I would highly doubt we get the same lootboxes as everyone else and highly doubt we get as favourable situation as last years (essentially buyable decorations) as it was a legal issue with one of the countries that WGAsia serves on this server so we all got to miss out (after error comp).

 

As much as people would want the same situation this year as last, that was due to an announcement error and legal issues, i notice this year in the announcement that no mention of purchasing was made......  NA's announcement has no mention either, maybe they are still deciding what they can get away with for us, and it gives them a chance to edit in. Right now however i wouldn't be holding my breath.

 

shame ill be working this festive season and cant buy some skips, i thought thats what their model was

Last years version would be fine for me, just make sure you forget about the gacha laws on day 1, let me buy some boxes, and then swap my rewards with enough dust to get to festive atmosphere level X for the entire period. It was great

[FramFramson]

Well, they better fix the damn mess SOMEHOW. There's no way Tan or Conana have forgotten that the (frankly deserved) whinging went on for a couple of months into this year.

Oh and does anyone know if that Hawaiian state law against similar Gatcha practices passed? Because if so, they can't do it in NA either this year.

Yeah I really like that ice camo as well. I'd say they're all quite appropriate for SPGs really; they're all wrapping paper designs, and SPGs are purpose built to distribute gifts far and wide to all the boys and girls on the red team (and sometimes the green team), which makes the recipients burst with joy. Or something like that.

Not sure about Hawai'i, but last I heard Belgium was looking at making it illegal.
