The March of Loot Boxes

[generalvikus]

I thought that a bit of community input was necessary here to help the devs along? So far in the March of March we've had the following suggestions:

Dazzle camouflage
Mountbatten Pink

And my own suggestion:

Limited Edition HMS Hood ship profile image: Pride (and accomplishment) of the Fleet

Ok, but what method are we going to use to "loot the corpses"? Can an allied destroyer nick in and off with the loot before we can dispatch someone?

The loot box will float with the survivors. Advanced radars will be able to detect them on the surface so they can be recovered even at night. Not the basic radars though. They don't have the necessary resolution.

And obviously you have to be able to buy them at £69.99 through the home page! That's the standard going rate these days!

Don’t forget that new players can pick up advanced radar together with 3 free loot boxes for just 5.99$ with the new “Marching” package deal!

For a $100 contribution, Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band will play marches on your lawn.


Um, I'll pay money NOT to have to take Mountbatten pink, thankyouverymuch.

I want that platypus.

I hope the steel case comes with a signed, limited edition blu-ray of Under Siege.

Sorry, but unless RtW2 requires enough "editions" to require a reference chart to understand what I'm buying, it'll be behind the curve.

I'll only participate if the Steven Seagull (tm) edition includes a scale model of the USS Alabama masquerading as an Iowa-class, complete with cotton fabric fog.

Not to throw too much shade at a game company I love, but EU4 now has - I think - 60 different DLCs, content packs, sound packs, special editions and so forth.
I loved EU2. I can't play EU4 because the mechanics change faster than I can learn them.

akosjaccik - to your most excellent collection I would add a scale model of an admiral dashing his hat on the deck and tearing out his hair, captioned, "Why won't you launch torpedoes AT THE ENEMY!"

I know everyone's just have fun with this thread, but still, it makes me sad to see what is going on in so much of video/computer gaming these days. It's almost as if the major developers/publishers want the industry to crash, given their policies.

Now this one I can get behind! 😂

What the hell, I was told it'd come with a copy of Mahan's  The Influence of Sea Power Upon History signed by the man himself!

Cancelling my pre-order!

Love the Collector's Edition, but where's the Gamestop preorder bonus, and the Ultimate Edition that is somehow below the Gold Edition? And the staggered release dates? IDK, I feel like the developer doesn't want me to part with *all* of my money. It's an unusual and discomforting feeling.
