10 hours later and the Gladius and ROC are still not usable as a CCU upgrade only straight to flyable warbond. Thankfully as I would have put in new money to start a couple CCU chains using them with the CSV. Thanks, CIG for doing that bug, or giving CCU gamers the middle finger. You saved my wallet from draining a lot more into your accounts.
yup. next day now and only a few hours from the next rotation. These are "buy-outright with new money" warbonds only. My wallet went back in my pocket too. And they wonder why their revenue is down this year....
The warbonds are not available for CCU, only to buy the ship outright. To the less initiated in the CCU game who might be looking at a ROC or Gladius for their fleet: Start with the Argo CSV-SM and then CCU your way up to a ROC or Gladius. You'll still have the $5 dollar savings and will end up with an LTI token instead of 10 year insurance.
To be more clear for the less initiated. The CSV-SM is $40 with (Lifetime Insurance)LTI. The ROC here is $50 with 10 Year Insurance. So no point in buying the ROC for $50 with 10 Year when you can simply buy the CSV-SM for $40 with LTI, and then buy the CCU/upgrade to the ROC which will then give you a ROC with LTI.
I was able to snatch up a Phoenix today. So I am happy. I picked up mostly all the game loop starter ships and some fighters and haulers for 4.0 wipe. We shall see how that goes. Thanks for all the awesome information, you are my goto CCU (upgrade) source. Be safe.
Whoever the warbond person is at CIG is taunting the ccugame crowd with these standalones and they know it. "This is what you have wanted for years right?" Too bad, can't have it. They were awarded with an awful sales amount with a spike of 200k, even with the limited ship sales.
So without an Intrepid CCU on release, they're signalling they're not going to do sub-$100 CCUs. Next they're going to have to shut down or severely limit the gift system because the grey market will be the only way to get better prices on the sub-$100 bracket. I think CIG sees a lot of their discounts going to resellers for them to make money off of them, not realising that people buy grey market because, despite a decade trying to normalise it, $500 for a jpeg isn't sane.
I am going to say it out loud.. CIG is closing off warbond CCU chaining period, I would start closing your chains folks because the next step is for them to start messing up your existing chains
I just assumed it was intentional. Will check later, thanks for the warning. Totally had my pitchfork ready btw, lol. Will buy both of those CCUs if they actually intend to put them up for warbond.
Is there only 2 warbonds for today??? An odd strategy if it is compared to Invictus for the finale when I was able to build a decent chain for the Ironclad in that single day and still get a 27% discount.
This is not a bug. This is intentional. It is better to buy a CSV with LTI and 5 dollar warbond then upgrade to gladius or roc for same price than to get either standalones without LTI
@@Zi-TekGaming They said it in the General chat lobby. They basically made today a waste of time if you weren't trying for the F5 wars on limited ships. Literally zero point to buying either the standalone roc or gladius. Get either the standalone CSV or Intrepid with the same 5 dollar discount and then CCU up to either the roc or gladius. It will cost the exact same but you now have an LTI ship instead. Just dumb move on CIGs part today. Especially after they promised they would have new stuff worth buying every day.
They've already done this before. With the Pulse. With the ATLS. With other ships. It's on purpose. They only seem to be interested in giving us warbond CCUs for more expensive ships now to minimize chains.
I rode the CCU wave into a reclaimer for 220us. Its been a good IAE picked up a Pioneer, upgraded to an Ironclad, a Zeus CL and a cool paint for the F8 all in all I think im set up nice for the wipe
pioneer available all day i bet lol no one wants that shit. Good luck anyone putting real cash on a concept/idea that is no where close to being done after all these years.
Not gonna lie, today's Warbonds made me so Happy, then when I saw there were no CCUs, so Sad. Missed opportunity for sure on them.

CIG is really out here like "We're crashing this plane, with no survivors"

Very nice, and thank you!
If this wasn't an accident and was intentional it's very insulting, the standalone Warbonds don't even have LTI.
Yes, about to say that part in the next video

Too bad, can't have it.

Get out the pitchforks folks....
Thank you Zi-Tek o7

Facts.
each day has a new intern saying "you think you reduce sales yesterday? HOLD MY BEER!"
Thank you for the update. I was wondering what was going on.
Welcome.
I am going to say it out loud.. CIG is closing off warbond CCU chaining period, I would start closing your chains folks because the next step is for them to start messing up your existing chains
This seems like a very real possibility.
theyve already been messing up chains this year by dropping things 5 more bucks like the starfarer gemini yesterday,
I just assumed it was intentional. Will check later, thanks for the warning. Totally had my pitchfork ready btw, lol. Will buy both of those CCUs if they actually intend to put them up for warbond.
At this point I'm thinking it may be intended. Get the pitchfork back out buddy, we're going to burn something
@@Zi-TekGaming Fr theyre slowly killing the ccu game bro. I need to visit the nearest Walmart today and buy a Pitchfork with LTI.
@@Risbruh Too late, they discontinued the LTI Pitchfork, all they sell now is the 10 year insurance Pitchfork and they raised the price on it by $5
@eggyrulz 🤣
@@eggyrulz lmao! I guess i'll just buy 6month insurance handkerchief and cry myself in a corner.
So all the warbond ccus are the same except.. they removed the Starfarer Gemini warbond ccu. Odd they kept all the others but had to remove that one.
The starfarer was planned as a single day along with the cutty blue. The rest are there for different reasons
Not being able to CCU up to the Warbond Gladius is kind of a bummer. Could really use that link..
Yes...
Is there only 2 warbonds for today??? An odd strategy if it is compared to Invictus for the finale when I was able to build a decent chain for the Ironclad in that single day and still get a 27% discount.
No, there are zero NEW warbond CCU, but all the new ships still have WB CCU available.
This is not a bug. This is intentional. It is better to buy a CSV with LTI and 5 dollar warbond then upgrade to gladius or roc for same price than to get either standalones without LTI
It does seem like this is the case at this point

If this is just a bug, then fine and wow that'd be great! But if it's not a bug it's very frustrating. CIG is done with CCUs it seems.
Its an hour later and now I am unsure....seems like this was intended at this point....
They've already done this before. With the Pulse. With the ATLS. With other ships. It's on purpose. They only seem to be interested in giving us warbond CCUs for more expensive ships now to minimize chains.
NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! Fingers crossed on that gladius popping up later
Really thinking this is a bug. If so it's a good CCU day!
I think, CIG stopped providing CCUs for the ship with less than $100 in price years ago.
seems to be the case
I rode the CCU wave into a reclaimer for 220us. Its been a good IAE picked up a Pioneer, upgraded to an Ironclad, a Zeus CL and a cool paint for the F8 all in all I think im set up nice for the wipe
Very nice! That's a great haul!
Haven’t been able to play since yesterday evening… fleet manager can’t deliver ships
So, I’ve noticed that the ships on the IAE page appear to be the warbonds, and I saw the ROC and Glad there as well
Yup yup. Let the space spirits move them over to the WB CCU page lol
@ starting to look like the end of an era
What song is playing the last couple of videos with the purple reclaimer? I attempted to look up the lyrics, it is catchy.
Purple Spaceship Eater by Boss Battle Bangers
@@Zi-TekGaming Thanks!
did you check the CCU form a higher value ship to a lower already?
Yes, no new warbonds at any level today. Just the same stuff from yesterday - Terrapin, MAX, Zeus, Hornets, etc
pioneer available all day i bet lol no one wants that shit. Good luck anyone putting real cash on a concept/idea that is no where close to being done after all these years.
It rarely lasts this long so I'm wondering what's up.
