We got wiped, founder uwc just will be given if you are nearly around all day (whats illusiory when u have to work ) and if u buy tickets from founder uwc you just get 10 stupid wines for 1 ticket worth 220 uwc !
Not only 1 x ..but multiple happened.. other ticket (220 uwc) gave 2 grails ..for aides..
NOT commenting that politics .... i guess players are intelligent enough to think ....
I have seen people who B O U G T H 90 tickets .... with just crap rewards , NOT a single ship ...
As we can read in announcements ... WE have NO RIGHT on decent rewards !
WE CAN WIN ..some stuff ..just lotterie like .. gamble like ....
Got the feeling our chances in Nevada are higher than in this game....

I got the snake wine and navy hat box in my last tickets, bit of a joke really but nobody forced me to buy any.
I suggest use you founder uwc for the shop and not tickets. Get skill notes or prof boost or something.
Well, there's your problem right there. Why would you only buy 1 ticket at a time for a more expensive price instead of a large batch for cheaper? It never ceases to amaze me when people buy 1 ticket and expect to get the top prize then complain about the fact that they didn't. I think you missed the whole concept of 'gambling' here.
Yes, and i've also seen people whom only bought 10 tickets and got all top end items and ships, what's your point? That's why it's called GAMBLING! You mention Nevada, but do you realize that all gambling systems are designed for you to loose more than to win. If everyone won top prizes all the time then the company would go out of business.
It is gambling. Pretty sure we would all be buying lottery tickets if we were guaranteed to win the jackpot everytime.
I barely bought any tickets the last few times and did as purplepirate said and just bought whatbi wanted with ducats.
Side note: damn! Was really hoping for an LLM this ticket....
I tempted with this ticket for the custom Otto galleas.
But too many times now I have seen a new ship in a ticket and I’ve spent a lot to get it then 2 or 3 tickets later and advanced and then superior version has been released.
At least for me papaya have shot themselves in the foot with that because I’d rather wait for the better version now.
as nice as COG is, i'm waiting for SNG :)
I'm with you @HelloAll on the waiting.
I have done the same with a few ships already and by the time I am done modding them I already want a new ship.
I've waited this long.......
Biggest problem the world faces is lack of personal responsibility for their own actions.
It's not Koei's, papaya' s, or anyone posting here's fault if someone blows their money uncontrollably. Its that person alone fault.
ALL items in the tickets are available to everyone with ducats. And not a cent of real money has to be spent to get anything you want in the game. All you have to do is shout in Seville.
Captains tickets are our lootboxes.
The businessmodel is beeing increasingly scrutinized by authorities (gambling or otherwise) all over the world and the game industrys claim that its not gambling is unlikely to hold - many parents are really angry over what they perceive as gambling beeing marketed to their children and I dont think letting children gamble is legal in many places.
And stating that the addicted should be held responsible is really really evil - addicted people cannot just say no and noone can be held responsible beyond ones ability - thats just cruel.
I have no issues with gambling as long as its regulated as such.
This means that its ILLEGAL to let children take part. This means only VERIFIED adults can take part.
This means the odds/probabilities MUST be public. So the chance of any ticket drop must be published.
This means authorities have to do audits to make sure the gambling provider doesnt cheat.
If you belive people should be held responsible for involuntary actions you are off course free to believe that and express that view - freedom of expression includes the freedom to express repulsive views. Unlike you I dont ask people I disagree with to leave,
I really think the writing on this issue is on the wall for the gaming industry - most gamers hate loot boxes and governments are going to step in against it. Dont underestimate the voting power of angry parents.
How anyone beside the game industry can view loot boxes as a good thing eludes me.
Kids do not always act responsibly, which is why the parents should make themselves aware of what the kids are up to and supervise them.
Also in order to buy uwc you need bank details. So only a reckless parent will allow a child to have access to them.
And if he does it behind the parents back, well he/she is a naughty little boy/girl and needs to be disciplined :)
real.. some need that money to feed their kids ...Be a bit more
thoughtful and dont request so thoughtless to spend money if u see no
chance to get something for it
You can't exactly pay with cash to get uwc you need a credit card, and you need to be 18 to get one (they don't exactly just had those out to anyone). And if kids are using their parent's credit card unrestricted to get uwc than is just bad parenting not bad kids. Ya some do need $20 to feed their kids but those people don't have credit cards to be spending money for online games, and if they are that poor they probably don't have internet to even get online to play games anyways so your statement is mute. If you are so concerned about homeless and hungry people then maybe you should be spending YOUR time and/or money out there helping them instead of playing online games and wasting time on a message board preaching to others on how they should be spending 'their' hard earned monies...
hypocrite...
Addiction is not a disease. It is not caught or transmitted. It is a CHOICE. And telling someone that they are to weak to change or that it's not their fault, does not help them start making the right choices.
I would honestly like to know the percentage of players that are under 18. I am guess it's not that many. Not the type of game thatvwould appeal to the younger crowd I do believe.
Sure I would love to know the odds on the tickets, but how many in a casino have asked for the odds on the slot machine before playing?
This thread is a weakly veiled attempt at disguising your unhappiness that you did not get rich quick with the tickets you purchased.
Papaya uses Xsolla as payment provider and they accept lots of payment methods - many that are available to children.
If UWO isnt for children then why all the silly censoring in the game ?
And no - noone choses to become addicted - it IS a disease. Dont you accept mental disorders as diseases ?
It wouldnt surprise me if the casino had the slots odds posted somewhere and it would surprise me if they wouldnt provide the info if asked.
And I have so far not purchased any captains tickets. Gambling doesnt really apeal to me - espcially not when the odds are secret - its a bit like playng craps with dice you know the casino have loaded.
Why are you so hell bent on defending the lootbox business model ?
BTW - In China tehy are required by law to publish the drop rates of loot boxes.
I agree that most casino would offer up the odds on their machines if asked. How many have asked before playing?
I do not see addiction as a disease at all. It is a series of bad choices.
Mental disorders can be a physical imbalance in how the brain processes input but not all.
Addiction (to gambling) is the brain enjoying the high it gets from certain endorphins that are released while doing gambling activity. Same as everyone has while doing enjoyable activities. Addicts to gambling just don't have the self control to handle it. It's a decision.
People all over the world play lotteries where the odds of winning are truly insane, yet they still exist and are very popular.
And once again I will ask what percentage of the server is children? Is papaya responsible for raising the children that play their game? Or should the parents have a small role in that?
All I am saying is let people be responsible for themselves. If they can't handle it that's not papaya , Koei, the players, your or my fault.
If they are adult it's their own fault. If they are children then it's the parents that take the blame.

Just for reference, I brought 6 tickets total since the server, out of that 2 ships, Refit Jammer and Polar Ketch. The rest ship blue print, minor stuff
Now I think I am lucky and it appears that I am, but I think the idea of luck is to only try it once in awhile and not depend on it because it very unlikely you will get what you want. If you want a certain item you only got a 1 in 26th chance each time.
So try to pick the best time to try your luck," I go with my feelings" when they are very good use able items you want in the ticket.
First of
all I am with you Carlalex and psychology proves your words, even if some here
don’t believe it.
I am not
willing to respond to comments like “leave or go..” for they are just immature
and lack any kind of understanding.
What really
bothers is the “Group-Pressure” what gets built up by those who say “buy stacks
of tickets” or “just Astro ships” are ok!
Its NOT
only children wasting their money in game ..its even a lot of grownups who waste
their last usd in bottles.
I have
nothing against gambling! BUT I have something against the strategy setting up
pressure and lead people in misery. Such like fools do it, saying buy bigger
amounts.
And I am
serious about that!
I have seen
suicides caused by games and I don’t think that’s something to ignore.
@Hus - I understand
WHY u vote for PP ..you are part of it ..
Look at the
strategy verbally as well as the drops are sorted. Oh..after a time appeared a
requirement demanding a certain age. That’s ALL !
It appeared
after a couple months..
You as an
old player and large money maker building ships profit from those who can’t
wait to get their ships fit all the needs of company and group.
You say u
never bought bottles / tickets..
LoL I recall
u been able to win every race and event and got tons of ships free.. why didn’t
u mentioned that?
The
strategy is : make a shortage here and there and fill it with contents JUST
from tickets (bottle)
Let me
mention Founderpackages ..
There is no
real SAIL in it.. just ARMAMEMTS ..
And I havn’t
seen any source in game to gain sails like Ganador ..Goldrush .. all we see is consumables
You compare OGP with PP but forget that OGP got in trouble for devs loyalty went running with PP's payment.. i wonder if we faced a hostile takeover ...but thats a personal impression ...
Also close that chocolate store because some people become addicted to that.
Whether the research is true or not, if we are going to go down this line then there is a lot of companies that should be closed down.
And if we are going to change the world so addicts and gamblers can’t be tempted, then expect to be pretty bored in life.
Just like an ex alcoholic will be wise and avoid a pub, bar or even get together of friends if drinks are available. Then those addicted to gambling should wisely avoid such circumstances that can bring them to temptation.
I am not a gambling addict and there I have no problem with the tickets. And I don’t want to have to change things for their sakes and neither should I
Makes me not want to pirate you if I get the chance.
Once again I see some people complain about it's a P2W game.
True the cash shop and ticket items are better than most in game things. But the fact that every high end item has been available to anyone to buy in Seville with ducats renders that argument void.
The cash players just have quicker access (they are payingreal life Earned money) than the free player but no extra advantage.
People can get addicted to all sorts of things. We can't ban them all.
If we banned sex because there are sex addicts it would end the human race in one generation.
The point being people need to act responsibly in all aspects of their lives, the world would be an incredible place If we all did.
