Sending you a PM now.

We knew. Yet not everyone did as it was very poorly communicated. The recent threads asking if there is a bug or error because we can't earn Florins or Crowns anymore are clear evidence for that. You simply don't put up a grand price if it is unreachable by common means. If they had put it in big bold letters "YOU CAN ONLY GET THE IMPLACABLE BY PURCHASING CONSIDERABLE AMOUNTS OF PREMIUM CONTAINERS", no one would have complained. Most players would probably not have bothered to try to play for it or stopped after the second week with the Furious. But they have marketed it in a way that suggested that it would be achievable by playing. Instead they told us this: At the same time, obtaining Tier VIII aircraft carrier Implacable will take more than just converting doubloons into Crowns and acquiring Air Supply containers; you will need to complete several Directives and daily combat missions. Suggesting that if we are playing enough, we could get that carrier. Together with sentences like "The combat missions will be available until May 31" suggesting that the missions for this event actually run till the end of the month, this is clearly misleading. Only those who read the forums or who where wise enough to do the math did not get decieved. You don't do marketing with an unreachable carrot dangling in front of your donk... errr... customers. Ever. @MrConway I'd like to hear something from our community representitives about this. How do you feel about the way this event was created? How do you plan to improve in the future? If future events will be the same, tell us now, so I know I don't need to bother anymore.

8 Florins for each Crown with update 0.8.2. 4000 credits for each Florin with update 0.8.3. You could just as well start the exchange now because it is the exact same exchange rate that the arsenal currently offers. Whatever is left when the respective patch hits the live servers will be exchanged automatically.

I admit... I even sometimes use the Yamato for that.

Well... in co-op I'm sometimes spamming HE as a BB as well. It's the best way to farm module damage. I'd never play in randoms like I play in co-op though. The bots are so predictable and easy to kill that I can allow myself to give them a little advantage. It really needs effort to lose against them.

That's my fear as well. And I wasn't even a free2play player anymore, as I sometimes purchased small items just to support the game or the community. This event, as well as the recent decision in regards to no longer care about premium ship balance if it means nerfs to those ships, made me rethink my spending behavior. I will not financially support the direction Wargaming is heading with this game. To bad that I'll probably be one of some very few.

Update now that we can no longer earn free containers: Nothing, nada, zero, zilch, nil, niente, nichts, zip.

Try to not sit alone in the far back or behind an island. The AA of your teammates is a usefull asset that you shouldn't ignore.

Predictable in the sense of "No matter how hard you try you will not make it" is pretty much worthless.

Yeah, we did. And I am not aware of a single player who liked it.

I am not judging you. I am judging what you wrote. And those are the words of a hypocrite. You say one thing (wanting a balanced game) and immediatly negate it with the next sentence and everything you said aftarwards. Including this post. Your car comparison is like apples and oranges. They are both round. But that's where their similarites end. In regards to WoWs the comparison ends after spending money. Let me repeat: This is a game and everyone should be able to enjoy it equally, no matter how large their wallet is. If balance worked perfectly everything would be mediocre. Paying for something that is "better" and otherwise not available to be gained by normal playing is pay2win. And that is what you are advocating, despite claiming to want a balanced game in your initial post.

You will see that once you get your first flooding, they actually did.

We are talking about a game here. A game should be enjoyable for everyone. Not just for those with the biggest wallet. Judging by your hostile and insulting replies and my own age, I'd say that I could easily be your father. I should have done a better job at parenting though it seems. You lack some manners.

Enlighten me. If you are so much smarter then me, it should be easy for you to explain it. That you don't care to explain just shows me even more that you also do not care about a balanced game. All you want is the better toy.

Reading the rest of your post: Apparently not. You say it but you do not mean it. Sentences like ... ... make that absolute clear. You want pay2win.

That was (currently is) the worst event I have so far witnessed. The purchasable item, payable with the special event currency, for the early access to a silver ship is completly out of reach unless you pay money for premium crates. Drop rates for ship missions for normal crates are almost non-existent (the message behind it: buy premium crates for a better but still very low chance). Carriers as such are currently in a bad place in regards to balance. Unless you are playing a tier X to be alway top tier. So it is generally a bad idea to create an event around it. Plane kill missions for this or parallel running events are only achievable with luck or by MM manipulation (division dropping with a CV) due to point 3. There is nothing worth fighting / playing for. It is all just a big mess where the closer you get to the finish line the harder you come realize that it never was supposed to be "winnable" by the common free2play player. And with point 5 becoming ever more evident, I'd need to say that such a thing is the worst kind of advertisment you can do for your game. Never repeat such a thing again. It is just a big disapointment.

Nein, ist es nicht. Aus Kulanz. Sie sind in keiner Weise dazu verpflichtet dir irgendetwas anzubieten. Nein. Wenn es Betrug wäre, kann man ihn nicht abmildern. Es ist aber keiner. Richtig. Weil keine Straftat vorliegt. Das nächste Mal befrage doch mal einen echten Juristen bevor du wilde Theorien aufstellst. Sie verlieren grade eine Menge Vertrauen weil sie mit dieser Entscheidung das Konzept des Pay2Win für World of Warships eingeführt haben. Ein solches Konzept werde ich nicht finanziell unterstützen. Doch, genau das willst du. Du gestehst es dir nur nicht selbst ein und baust dir darum Fantasy-Schlösser um irgendwelche nicht existenten Straftatbestände um es dir schön zu reden.

Because balance is completly irrelevant. It's money we are talking about. Real money. Money invalidates any attempts to create game balance completly.

You didn't purchase a ship. That's a common mistake made by almost everyone, including Wargamings own advertisment. You purchased a license to use the virtual asset Saipan in the online game World of Warships. The game changed. Not the license. Nothing protects your license against global game changes. To give you another example: You can't protect yourself against the forced Win10 updates every six months. Yet you can't demand your money back from Microsoft either for the global changes they make to their operating system. If you are no longer satisfied with your license, you can return it and be compensated with ingame currencies. Curtesy of Wargaming. They are legally not required to do so. You had your usage out of the license and therefore it no longer needs to be refundable with real world money.

Was für eine Bankrotterklärung. Wargaming hat mit dieser Entscheidung das Spiel grade in einen Pay2Win Titel verwandelt. Kauft die zu starken Premiums solange sie verfügbar sind. Wir garantieren das sie niemals schlechter werden. Sie sind nicht mehr verfügbar? Kauft Lottery-Container und ihr habt vieleicht Glück. Und die Community bejubelt sie auch noch dafür.

I'm reading this and I become disheartened. It is essentially a declaration of bancruptcy. You give up on the goal of creating a balanced game. Because some, but I need to admit, very loud, users complained about their precious premium ships being adjusted to better fit the game. Why not create a survey about it instead? Link it in the game. Ask all the users. Not just those on reddit, facebook, and the forums. Many who complained just wanted to know how you'd plan on properly refunding them (I'd say cash is out of the question... they had their fun with their overpowered ships). Offer an individual choice of steel, coal, or doubloons, if they don't want to keep the changed ship, and I'd say most would be satisfied. I've seen that requested several times. Doing nothing and giving in is certainly the worst option you could have chosen. Congratulations, you just made an official statement that this game is now pay2win.

You do not report them by publicly naming and shaming them. Click here. Scroll down to the bottom. Click "Contact Support". That is the only correct way to do it.

Out of the free standard containers so far? Nothing. I guess the chance is really low this time.

Doublepost. Sorry.
