True. Otoh, it's not really directly connected. Yet, since he is a WoWS player, i thought i might as well post it here. It's actually a pretty good tank...imo. However, one can say, that Crusherheads took a dive with it, so yeah it had a naval touch to it. ^^

Met Crusherheads yesterday in his T34-3, his team got curbstomped.

Oddly enough, the same team that does the WoWS stuff, does also the WoT stuff, and the WoT Calendar is out. And they post announcements in the Forum, and you find comments now and then... and yes, i mean the EU Wot forums and Portal.

Of course i'm here, what's your point?

I consider this to be a good idea, since you can't use this forum to discuss certain topics, without it being derailed by WGs supporting actors guild, or ignored by CMs. Reddit would be a good place to start, facebook of course and other forums where a dedicated subsection for games in general or WoWS specifically exists. Spread the word.

What's wrong with guys? Seriously? I don't understand... What makes you actually think that the Event Calendar for October needs to be out BEFORE the month ends? What madness is this? Must be one of those EU things that makes WG hate us so much. What's the next thing you going to expect? That the EC gets released on the official Portal of the game? Get outta here. Check reddit, twitter or 4chan for it.

Met lot of potatoes, idiots, [edited], smartasses, one or two imbecils, one jerk, one dude who hasn't heard about humour and 3 or 4 folks who actually know what they're doing. Sadly, the latter where not in the same game so this day is rather shite.

Unless you collect Premium ships and you want to have them all, don't buy the smith. It's a terrible boat, you should only play for shits and giggles, go for the Tachibana much better in every regard.

Indeed, a Hermelin with a 15 skill point captain is a beast...too bad they took away the AP. Lemonade seem to be as good as any other Premium when it come to Captain training, i consider her to be quite strong and without much derping on the players part, she'll do well. Mee too, i promise to not ruin the game...as does any other player who owns that bloody boat.

You get boni to coolness (+5%), patriotism (+25%) and a increased resistance to alcohol (+2%). Edit: I bought the package with the flag. I'm awesome.

Where is the König Albert? Why is it not in the shop yet? WG EU might want to consider, aquiring new players and kissing their asses may increase the playerbase, but neglecting an existing playerbase will not benefit you in the long run.

Oh look, another thing we'll never ever EVER see on the EU server.

...it's not very effective. We have the info now, but that doesn't resolve the issue itself. Shitstorm still incoming.

This year? Nice, i guess. So when it's 9 days after NA, it basically means 9 weeks to 9 months, and here i thought Valve time tm is bad. ^^ While i'm glad to hear that EU will get the KA at some point within the next 2 3/4 months, the main issue isn't even remotely resolved. I'm also not too happy about the fact that KA winners will get their ship once it hits the shop and not before, which screws up my plan to hunt them for sports. ^^ So in the mean time, i use the Dubloons i got with the Leningrad, and retrain my 15 point skill captains for the Tiers III and IV and enjoy some seal clubbing.

Yes, they were lying from the start. As i mentioned in another thread, they didn't reply to forum posts or did any info on the front page to avoid a shitstorm over it. Any form of "official reaction" with the truth would have stired crapup. Another [edited]you EU players from WG, but by now it shouldn't come as a surprise anymore. And by having the community split in smaller "regions", they can avoid big massive shitstorms. And things wont change unless players unite despite all toxiticy among each other and give WG the finger back.

And yet, this OP ship will be handed out as reward and gift ship, but i assume, once you hand out things for free, they not OP anymore. Makes perfect sense. Not. So, to avoid "flooding" the MM with OP ships and create a form of balance, it's better to have one OP ship per game where only ONE player can wreak havoc, assuming he knows which part of his ship is the bow and which the stern. Just like the ImpNik, yes this is totally fair and makes perfect sense! Not. Btw, despite being sold and known from the get go that it's OP, you rarely see the ImpNik ingame, so like with every other ship that gets released, you have a peak for a short time, than folks move on. There is no disadvantage in having shared release dates and events, infact the opposite is the case. The regional departments should take care of regional events like GamesCon, PAX, GameCitys and such, not of release dates for ships and game events like Kamikaze R, ARP and the like.

Leningrad will come out sooner, as the reviews are already out. But, at first is this pointless streaming event, then - as usual - NA gets it first and one or two weeks later it comes to EU. The brit cruiser on the other hand may come shrtly before the RN or with them.

What? Lmao...let WG EUs we-know-jack-crap-about-marketing team put that on the mainpage, as i haven't seen many who share your opinion. WG NA is not a different company, it's a different department of one company, so any "regional differences" are completely irrelevant. WG misses a opportunity to unite the different regions into "one WG family" although playing on different servers. Not to mention that events shared across the servers could raise awareness of things that aren't commonly known, like certain holidays or regional events and give players more to do. Talk like a pirate day? Nah, the EU cashcows are sooo backwater they don't even know what internet is, so why bother? Yet they keep the regions separated and try to make the gap between the regions as big as possible. Sure, you can't expect the same prices as on other servers, but sure as hell the same [edited]events and launch dates for ships and tanks. How many other game companys pull that kind of crapand get away with it?

Pretty much this. Are you under the impression that WG actually knows what they are doing?

Being used as a award or gift ship should not be a reason to withhold it from sale, that's just nonsense on WGs part. KA being OP does NOT stop them from selling it on the NA server, so this arguement by WG is complete and utter [edited]. Well, i was expecting the KA to be ~20€ in the shop with extras, but since it's now an Award and Gift ship. and i can't buy the KA now due to these [edited]reasons, i have 20€ lying around...what could i do with that money? Hm...let me think for a sec...right, that's an idea! So, whenever someone encounters a KA in his team and Team kills it, i'd be willing to spend 500 Dubloons as Award, and Gift them to the player who removed that OP ship from his team. Now, everyone could obviously only take part once in the "lets get even event" - held by the community, for the community - to avoid being pink for a longer period of time. Now, 20€ isn't much, but it could be a start and if anyone would be willing to throw in some cash, we could make sure that we get even in a pretty entertaining way. Anyone has a better idea?

And yet they sell them on the NA server, so either sell them on every server, or pull the ship completly from the game and give the guys who bought one the value of the ship in Dubloons.

Es wundert mich überhaupt das es auf FB einen "offiziellen" kommentar seitens WG dazu gibt, bisher vermeiden die CMs konkret darauf zu Anworten. Wenn man sich überlegt welchen shitstorm man mikt dem Kamikaze Event oder Halloween letztes Jahr fabriziert hat, ist es wohl besser zu schweigen und zu hoffen das sich die Dinge von alleine beruhigen. Keine ahnung welcher Schwachmat diese entscheidung getroffen hat, aber dieses "individuum" sollte schnellstens aus seinem job entfernt werden.

If this is really the official answer, than i can understand that we don't get a reply here on the forums. This would be a dickmove and a slap in the face of the EU customers, something that WG is really good at - screwing EU players on every occasion. Not sure if such a retardedly stupid decision is very wise considering the fact that folks are asking for that ship and are quite displeased with the fact that the ship is for weeks on sale on the NA server. Whoever made this decision should be removed from office as such behaviour towards a significant part of the playerbase indicates incompetence at best. Time for a major crapstorm. Edit: seems to be official. They really made this retardedly idiotic decision.

Asking for the release date for the RN is rather pointless. I'd like to know the release dates for: Event Calendar October - can we expect it to be released at least by the end of the month? Konig Albert - that bloody thing is still on sale on the NA server

Possibly, can't say much about TBs but i think that the Lo Yang would be better suited for TBs. In Ranked however it's the B-hull all the way, killing other DDs as fast as possible is preferable then scaring Bombers.
