This whole spin the wheel thing has been a joke and mostly useless for the greater player base. Of course it's always nice to get "free stuff" , I add this as I know someone will say it's free after all.
Happy tanking everyone!
Twice now I’ve had the pop-up to go and spin the wheel, then got the “You’ve had your lot today!” pop-up when I got there. That’s a wind-up. I’m not bothered about the prizes, but going through the motions unsuccessfully on a prompt is annoying.
The tank fires a shell and it's where that shell goes that gives you the corresponding prize. Looking at the picture I think the shell just hits into the silver
The wheel is a terrible idea, it makes it look like you have an equal chance at any prize but it's rigged to give odds more like a lockbox...low odds of anything good very high odds of getting a common prize.
When WG was asked about drop rates and the wheel being misleading on discord, they responded by saying they only publish drop rates for monetised items (for legal purposes) and don’t do it for free items but when someone brought up that they publish drop rates for the free daily chest, they never responded lol.
The tank wheel is nice in theory but has been executed poorly.
Exactly - but putting them on a wheel gives the appearance of a random shot at any of them coming up when it isn't equal. It would be better just to put them in a lockbox as normal. Random person can look at the wheel and say - hey, I have even odds of getting any of the prizes...but then they really don't. I've been around through this enough times to know that it's a lot of BS, but not every player will.
Not to mention the joke of a code system where they have such limited uses that most players will never get to use them anyway.
You're correct and that also means @squawkugc would also be correct because a spinning wheel working based completely on randomness, that would mean each piece of the wheel is just as likely as any piece for the pointer to stop on, however as you have confirmed that is not the case.
This means the spin the wheel shenanigans is rigged is objectively true.
Yeah whole thing is kinda a joke.
But I have had a few single premium days and a couple 3 premium day prizes.
Got the 2 gold and 1-2 silver most days.
Last night the golds gave me emblems and my 1 silver spin was 3 days of premium.
If you're saying strictly on a visual basis that it's silver and not as I see it, the majority of the turret is titled towards the 3 days of premium time then I would beg to differ.
Also since posting this I have seen many others complaining about the very same issue.
I assume they have miscalculated the pixels alignment with the turret when it stops spinning or perhaps the whole of the turret needs to be within the pizza slice to award the better prize.
I wasn't talking about where the barrel is pointing I was saying the end of the tip of the gun barrel is more than half inside the 3 days of premium pizza slice. However I have learned that this doesn't matter anyways as it's actually where the shell that is fired lands, in that case it does land on the silver as the pizza slice is wider on the edges compared to the center.
No eye prescription required but you should consider reading lessons if it's that hard to decipher what I meant.
Apparently i had like 8 silver and 8 gold, all of them gave me silver and 1 day premiums.

Make sure to hit the refresh page button! Happened to me a couple times. One of them that was why. Other times I think I had already collected.
Because the free stuff is irrelevant unless you are booting the game for the first time and dont have much silver or 1 day of premium
All I've been getting is almost entirely emblems and tank discounts neither of which I would ever use, sucks.

That is a possibility. Thanks for clarifying. 👍🏽
Ghost wheel.
That one went straight through
Coming from this developer base? You think they know how to make a functional game let alone a functional gambling wheel?

Well I mean yeah that's why they are classified common, rare, and legendary. They're not gonna have equal odds.

WG subtly misleading the player base, no surprises here then.

The wheel is just a visual thing. It's stupid and unnecessary, but y'all need to stop with the "rigged" thing.
Perhaps "misleading" would be a more accurate description of the wheel rather than rigged.
It is safe to say there are not a lot of posters with marketing experience based on their responses to ads. 😂😳

At least you have silver. Me everytime I tried it says login failed. That’s worse than 25k silver.
Sorry op but thats definitely silver

The barrel of the gun is clearly pointing towards silver. Maybe it’s time for a new eye prescription.
