That was the initial intent of the RB, a credit sink to get rare ships for the old-school player with billions of credits. Then, for whatever ducked up reason, WG decided to shove it down everyone's throat by putting legendary upgrades there. Not only do players have to grind this now, if they don't want to fall behind, it is also only possible if you have already 5 lines researched to tier 10. For casual players is this usually not doable unless they pump A LOT of money into the game - and this is exactly the reason why WG did it.

Here is the proper way to handle the situation where you think that you deserve a better result or a higher win rate: complain about no support from your team complain about DDs are overpowered because they torped you when you sat there like a duck or moved in a straight line for longer than 20 seconds complain about ships that shoot HE at you, because they don't have torps, their AP bounces and there is no other way to deal damage to a bow-tanking and reversing BB report the CV if you are in a CV game - BOTH CV players, because they queued up with this ship class and forced you to play a CV game against your will once dead, insult everyone in chat until the battle is over. But don't let them feel safe, continue to insult in port chat open a forum thread to complain and let WG know that you don't spend any more money on WoWs (even if you are a freeloader and don't spend money anyway) This will not make you a better player but at least you can sleep better and feel better about yourself, because it's totally not your fault that you don't have unicum stats.

If it's exactly 1250 doubloons then it sound to me like someone bought ingame 7-days of premium time. But the support can tell you for sure where the doubloons went.

Depends on how you see it. If you look at all the games played and the lineups the teams had, it becomes very obvious which ships are strong to way too strong for competitive. I think there was not a single game where both teams didn't have at least 4 russian ships in the lineup, some teams had 6+ russian ships. For DDs you saw by far the most Smaland and Somers. The latter replaced Gearing because of more torps and better survivability and Smaland… a DD with radar, torps, heal, rapid firing guns > all. Well, where have i seen this before and what got nerfhammered to the point of being unplayable and still is crap today? Yes, Yueyang was neutered because it was too strong with it's radar and now it got replaced by a DD with even more gun power and a heal and the same type of radar. WG logic, you know.

You also had a long blacklist before and didn't have this problem. The entire 'but i always had…' or 'but it always worked…' argument does not work, ever, in any situation. Stuff breaks over time, software get bugs if someone tinker with the code - it's a normal process. I honestly think that WG has no clue why the port is lagging. If you google for world of warships port lag you will find many, like m a n y threads in forums (all regions), on reddit and other websites that complain about this very issue that date back to 2016. It's a shame and disgrace that a company like WG does not prioritize such a years old, everyone annoying problem and get rid of it once and for all, even if it require a complete overhaul of the port interface.

It's a reoccurring event and you can finish the collection next KotS - was confirmed by WG on stream earlier today.

I didn't vote because there was no vote when i posted this. The vote was added afterwards and i can not vote any longer. If Belfast was your first choice and Z-39 your second, then you got your realistic first choice because Belfast does not drop from this container. It was known before and the WG guys confirmed this again just a few minutes ago on stream.

I already know that i will get the for me worst possible ship, just like from supercontainer so far (Krasny Krym, Dunkerque, Anshan). There is actually only 2 or 3 tier 7 ships that i would actually play every once in a while and everything else will just occupy a port slot and rot away.

Same, 125% XP bonus is nice for grinding ship lines or directives.

This depends on the container, because there are actually 2 different container with the same name. I had this happen to me and contacted the support, because the only WG container i knew always has 24h premium time along with some signals, but the support answered me this … So you either get 5k Free XP and some signals or 24h Premium Time and some signals. Both not really worth to sell your soul to yet another data collector by linking a gaming account to a personal shopping/business account, IMO.

Has probably to do with the amount of ships you have in port.

Which is weird, because shortly after the problem started there was a hotfix available on the RU or Asia forum posted by WG Devs that just replaced the ~60 MB exe files (~30 MB for each, 32-bit and 64-bit client) and the problem was gone, but for whatever reason the 'hotfix' is 2.5 GB.

I average 1890 xp with Z-52 and 1850 xp with Hindenburg = 16 games give or take 100k and more is easy doable in coop with a German DD or also as BB secondary build Bismarck in coop, park near a cap zone and you are done within 2-3 games 30 coop games and because you can switch ships once you are dead, take a German ship, yolo and ram a bot and instantly leave the game to pick another german ship. rinse and repeat. A coop win takes on average 5 minutes. Secondary build BB in coop, easily 400+ ribbons per game But still, the camo is ugly, useless and there are already what, 4-5 free permanent camos for Bismarck available. Why even bother?

See the problem with this type of 'proof' is this… Robin is literally one of the best players on EU. If you check his channel you find this type of games with pretty much every ship he plays. Also if you check the leaderboard for high tier ships you'll notice that he is in the top 10 in pretty much every ship he plays. You see only the top notch exceptional games on YT, because nobody bothers to upload the 18 failed games that were necessary for this one outstanding game. This particular game had a very favourable MM, because the Kita was top tier, no tier 10's to fight against, especially not a tier 10 CV and a bunch of the enemy tier 7's were pretty new to the game

You don't even have to buy Windows 10 at all. You can simply download and install it. The only restriction you have is a nag message in the bottom right corner of your desktop and you can't change/personalize the computer (change background wallpaper and colors). That's it, no downside at all other than that. And if you are bothered by this you can buy a full license on ebay and many online software shops for as little as 5 bucks - legally. There are videos on YT that explain why this is and MS explained it in computer magazine articles numerous times. The business model of selling the software license for Windows is obsolete. They pretty much give away Windows for free to bind customers to the brand. These customers are more likely to buy software and hardware via the MS store, use their cloud service and so on. Means, Windows licenses are not any longer considered a source of income, but brand loyalty by their customers is.

Yep, ranked is clearly for the skilled players Sometimes it's worse than randoms and people really believe that ranked is where the good players duke it out. Look at the XP of the enemy team. I mean, 600 XP on a loss is considered bad … smh

I had this problem too. What i did to get it working was to start the launcher and made sure to be logged in, then right clicked a replay file and 'Open with...' then 'Open with another app'. From there click 'More apps' and scroll down to the bottom to 'Look for another app on this PC'. Then navigate to the WoWs installation directory and select worldofwarships.exe. I had this problem before because with updates the folder with the exe file changes inside the bin folder. Setting the launcher manually like this fixed my problem with the stuck on login screen. Once the default app is set it's enough to double click the replay files to launch the game correctly.

I would like to see 2 QoL changes/additions related to the new one-client feature. 1. It would be fewer clicks and more convenient for multi-region users when we could click Play and then a popup opens to select the account/region to launch the client for this region. It behaved like this before when launching a client for a different region. 2. The port and ship selection is messed up after switching regions, when different ships are available per region. For example, if i have Fiji selected on NA and then switch to EU where i don't have the Fiji, the client select some random ship. Now the random ship is selected and if i switch back to NA again a random ship is selected because i don't have it in this region, when it should have Fiji selected. It would be nice if the client would remember the ships and selection per region, because it would save a lot of scrolling and searching for ships in the carrusel.

I'm pretty sure you got the order wrong 🤔

There are people who have personal commitments, job related stuff, vacation, health issues and so on. There are a lot of reasons why someone can not play the game for a longer period of time. It's a personal thing so i don't really care.

Probably bought the booster and now realized that he can't finish the grind, but is also not willing to finish the dockyard for more doubloons. This would mean that the start boost for 3'000 doubloons was wasted that's why he want the doubloons back. I don't see any other sound reason of why he would want them back.
