Unfortunately we do not offer refunds in this case, but Siegfried is on the list of ships being watched closely after the update, so a future buff/change is certainly not off the table.

Can you be more precise?

The team is indeed busy with submarines and our upcoming revamped "Key Battles". I know that there is a core of you/us that really enjoys operations and I do hope that we will get to do more of them in future, but I also want to be honest and not create expectations here. We simply have other priorities right now.

We didn't think there would be a large demand for it, but as I said, it is something we will consider going forward!

Firstly, why the hell are we necroing 3 year old threads to complain about game bans -.- Secondly, your ban is not connected at all to this teamkill incident, we also take a very dim view of people abusing the in-game communication system by annoying other players with notification spam. As others have pointed out, this was not an automated ban, we do not automate game bans in general. If you need more details, please feel free to PM me. Thread closed.

Unfortunately not, we have other things that are being worked on at the moment and operations never had enough interest and activity to warrant investing a lot of development time into them. Its sad, but I also see if from my own perspective, once I have played the ops once or twice, I return to randoms.

Its a known bug, should be fixed in 0.10.1!

This wasn't in scope for Mysore unfortunately, but certainly something we can consider going forward, especially if we add more Indian Navy ships. I personally would also love and English (Indian) option in the VO!

Impressively close though ;)

Re: Dazzle - There is no internal cooldown, the period restarts each time you go dark and are spotted again. The dispersion buffs and de-buffs affect the vertical dispersion, which due to the way it is calculated also affects the horizontal dispersion. This should also be a full reduction of the dispersion, so I agree with you that this is surely worth the points for any DD that expects to get spotted.

We are monitoring, but we'll have to also await conclusive data before we can make any decisions and that may take a few weeks.

Yes I agree and have forwarded feedback for it already! :)

Yes, soon! Yes, there will be more prime loot drops, we're just having a small break :)

Thats not quite correct, we set them up for what we consider a decent build for the class in question, not based on your previous build - that would have been very tricky to pull off I think. The idea was that if you just want to get stuck in and play, you can do so with a working commander setup. Personally, I want the control, so I reset ALL of my commanders on the portal.

Commanders will now be amazing for use on premium ships as no re-specialization is needed there, which will also make it easier to get up to 21 points by the way. The system was never intended for use on 4 different tech-tree ships at once. And as we have said before, we may make more changes down the line (either to ships or to skills) to make sure that our outliers (i.e. Large Cruisers) remain viable. I would recommend going after other targets in a Flint or using Island cover, but I would have also recommended this before the rework. We will be paying special attention to Flint and I'm happy to have a chat about here with you at the end of the next update when we have some data to look at!

We already run, and always have run, periodic checks for botting behaviour and ban players that are caught. Yes they will not be caught AFK immediately, but their accounts will be banned.

We aren't just adding 2 additional skillpoints, the entire system is being revamped. Adding the extra points allows choosing more skills, but also provides another long-term goal for many of the most active players that have a majority of 19 point commanders trained. And while the amount of points needed to get to 21 is large, there are so many more options with flags and camouflages to boost the commander XP income, than when the whole system was originally introduced. Just because we did not make the change for Flint yet, doesn't mean we will refuse to do it in future. Atlanta has a little different status as a premium ship and also does not have the benefit of the smoke screen, so we thought she needed it a lot more than Flint.

I feel that this would be very unfair towards players who are not that great or simply got some bad matchmaking, we shouldn't stop people from trying IMO. If you are fully AFK the penalty is automatically handed out, correct.

Firstly, thanks for the detailed post. While the difference in power between 19 and 21 skill-point commanders is not going to be large, I can understand your frustration at losing that peak performance versus other players. I'll make sure to pass it on. Any perks will remain the same, whereas the improved skills may change slightly for those where there is no analogue in the new skill system.

We're looking into the data and overall behaviour to find out who did not play fairly at the moment, once we have that established we can think about what systemic changes to make to address the issue!

Wir haben aus dem Vorfall viel zu lernen, ich bin aber froh, dass wir wenigstens helfen konnten wo es ging!

The German DDs will have 1/4 HE pen, as for Agincourt, she will have 76mm of HE pen. Its actually not a bad idea, but not something we have currently planned, sorry.

Leider ist ein Rollback immer ein Rollback, da kann man nicht nur selektiv Sachen zureucksetzen. Was wir in vielen Faellen angeboten haben, ist potentiell verbrauchte Gueter (Flaggen, Dublonen, Tarnungen) anderweitig zu verrechnen oder bei nur kleinen Mengen einfach kulant zu sein, dass kommt aber immer auf den Fall an und darauf an was verbraucht wurde. Leider koennen wir Dinge die nicht fuer Silber verkauft werden (Spezialflaggen zum Beispiel) nicht in Silber kompensieren.

Yes, we'll look closely at the results of this season as we have had quite a few complaints about bad behaviour. We may also make some changes to stop players like this from profiting from ranked at all, but this could take a few updates to implement. In the meantime, please report egregious behaviour to customer support so we can punish them accordingly.

Thanks for this BTW, thanks also to @Kingpin6100 for reaching out with more details. We also have several blueprints for ZF2 that show other configurations, but we'll discuss it internally and let you know how we will proceed.
