3 years to get 1 million free xp.

came on most probably they blurred the price in the video because of all that's going on. Jingles explained and it's not the first time that this happens Colombia was a place holder name for Cleveland at t8 while Cleveland was still at t6. And so on. despite they abused the amount of doubloons need it, those 1000 doubloons was just a place holder

yeap, that is my experience. the last months I'm playing Bayern but because of Snowflakes I picked Gneisenau once and I did this.

Research Bureau, oh yeah, that thing. It doesn't affect me a bit, I can't do it even if I wanted Yes, I guess we switched places with each other. I had two burn outs this year, I spent half a year out of this game. What made me come back was the 360 days of premium, unable to request a refund, I couldn't let my hard earned money going to waste. so I did came back... twice By the second time I am disengaged with this game, more casual in all regards and I'm having an occasional fun here and there I already have what I want minus a ship, the economy in t8 is hard, the ships are worst than in previous tiers. Alaska have 13 s rudder My Bayern has a 11 s rudder and so on I won't go any much further than where I am now. WG will do nothing to change your mind set but perhaps a rest will ? Did wonders to me When and if I'm closer to that mind-set again, where you are right now, I most probably won't return third time around. that's why I will buy shorter premium times. But for now, all is fine. (but it could be much better). The place where I'm right now, with the tech tree and Ops from two or three years ago I would have a blast. p.s.- I know those videos

A lot?

I meant that as in you are letting this kind of things interfere with your enjoyment. Are you sure? Because I'm not so sure. Take Bayern, a ship that I didn't liked, A BB, slow as [edited]I didn't click with it, meh. A ship that I only played in Ops very time to times. But then something happen I use it in PEV, I use it in random, I reached rank 1 in the last t6 sprint with it along with Nurnberg, and I have more like Bayern and my port it's much smaller than yours, around 50 ships. In top of that it's not that uncommon my puny t6 german BB prevails against Gneisenau and Bismarcks and Tirpitz (I have to be grateful for the player base that we have) Not always the famous player base that we have and which I belong bites me in the [edited]. And I bet with you that you probably still have a couple of forgotten gems in your port, you just don't know yet. Playing a ship once a day it's not enough to rediscover any gem. Overall I don't disagree with you, but, personally I would prefer less new things in the game, pumping new things in the game lead us where we are today. While everyone and their dog are talking about PR, and Smolensk I'm contemplating a ship that I want for a long time... Graf Spee. Not all games have cvs or you are the focus sorry, I don't know what's RB Pr event was made for doing some cash grabbing, to catch the most distracted players. Look everyone a dockyard, put your doubloons in here to see your free premium ship being build Now make this impossible directives to finish up your free premium ship What? you are not capable to finish on time this directives? buy this free ship. What? you didn't finished? Never mind, next year will be more, meanwhile thank you all for the money you gave us... for free. Subs will be released in my backyard (t6) but initially in a separated mode Now you have to pick your battles. There's one thing I started to do. I picked Halloween over the Italian cruiser grind , I wouldn't do this one but i'll try the 1 vs 1 sprint and so on... the Grind fest is over for me. TDLR Look man, I'm not trying to tell you what you have to do to have some fun. I'm saying that in this present state all of us have to find some "silver lining" in this "cloud" to keep playing this game, and IMO the best place to find fun is between the "rain drops". New things? nah, let's not overpopulate more the existing tiers .

you are confusing things if you ask me. yes, the game was better a couple years ago. the ships had places and roles much more defined than today. And were more memorable for that. Today you have much more competition example. before you had Akizuki, a great gunboat, now it's the smaller one in that line alone. The same thing goes for other classes. I still like the ships I liked despite noticing some powercreep and for a time I thought like you in the first paragraph . after all, I bought 360 days of premium and if I played half of that was too much, I made two needed breaks this year, so, I wasted a lot of money, a lot of premium days I just came out of a grind, a 40 consecutive days grind (Halloween) where I piled up 1.5 million elite XP. i will not participate in another grind so soon, I'm back playing for fun/casual mode. But I'm able to have some fun time to times with my favourite and older ships from sprints, to random, to ops, to co-op, and because I still find enjoyment in playing a handful of ships, next year (when the 70 days ends) I will buy more premium time, not 360 days, but perhaps, 180 or 90 or even 30 days, something smaller. But premium time it's among the best things you can spend your money. This all situation (PR thing) means nothing to me or very little because will not affect me either way. Especially in what I like in the game. About subs I don't know yet but cvs didn't ruined my favourite tiers despite sucking a lot and ruined a lot of games. Hey, if you are one of those guys with 200 or 300 + ships in port, try to rediscover a new one among the old ones that you have, it can be fun if you click with that said ship, it can renew your moral / P.O.V

thank you. was about that I was talking about, the explanation. yes, they say a lot of things, like it's easier or as easy than the PEV campaign. In a way this guys have a difficult job sometimes, they have to be align with the company and with it's policies. The heads of the company make this crazy [edited]decisions, and drop these guys into the confusion they created. - Go out there and deal with that angry mob. Surely, some WG employees must have diplomatic relations backgrounds. - Where did you served? Afganistan? Iraq? Germany in the cold war? - No, I served in WG during the GZ crisis, PR crisis... - .

What did you expect? First of all, CCs are one way street, none of them work for WG, they are tolerated because they advertise WG content and that's about it. CCs don't possess any power or weight in the decision making process. They are just pure cheap outsourcing assets, and they can be the last to know. - German dds - GZ - Now this And certainly I forgot some others examples SubOctavian and @MrConway and people like them are the boots on the field to calm down the troops, and they can't apologise because they can't. And I think that you are wrong, or at least, I don't see things that way this all event is not aimed for the 1%, is aimed to all of us. first they put the expectations high with the CCs videos and with Dasha Perova video (WG own video) about a free ship and a dockyard. second they make completely absurd and hilarious directives, that are impossible to accomplish Third the free ship it's obtainable for 200 + euros fourth They will sell a bunch of Puerto Ricos by the thousands (maybe the 1% that you speak of) if they sell 200 units it's +- 40 k euros in Europe alone, and they have more regions Fifth Operation Christmas a huge success for them Meanwhile they release an apology explanation saying the PR event is only for the hardcore players and Gorizia is for all of us. Can you back me up on this @Jethro_Grey? Just before, in Halloween operations there were an issue with the ships and slots, they tried pushing a bit but people complained and WG "backtracked" with the decision by letting the slots in the players port after the event. After all who bought the slots for the new ships had already paid for them So, they must have profited big with 2019 Halloween

Then I can't help you. All my premium ships are port queens.... Hey, what about some perma camos? I did bought a ton, almost a Tirpitz worth of them (t6 and t7) for my favourite silver ships and I didn't regreted.

well, I wouldn't say no to 25£ ever, never. but if you want to throw that away Buy premium time. edit - I forgot to add It's the least bad alternative , and you can actually profit in the long run

I can't resist anymore Vulture Capitalism 2019 Christmas

I think the best part of getting a reward ship, it's playing the ships that you like, and those are worthy the effort you put in. During PEV, Bayern reborned (i only played it in ops until then). Now it's a usual pick in random, and i did a sprint with it. Like Bayern, there are others.

i think you don't have to say please. Nobody will buy that (apart from some guys). PR it's not the first nor will be the last

Flamu gave me an idea when he said. " I play this game for a living and I wont be able to do this". tomorrow I will send a request to be included In WG pay check

No it will not suck, after all it will cost 240 euros, it will be a whopper. oh, by the way PEV campaign was fun and doable and at the end we were able to keep Bayern.

Are you going for the Alaska+ (AKA PR)

I arrived home after work and I logged in and i had some troubles with the game. I went to the forum to see what was going on, apparently, many other people were having the same issue. I did saw here and there people mentioning PR failure (I mistaken with public relations) and I moved on, without a second look. after supper I saw the videos, and only then I understood. WG you have a future as a stand up comedian

well, apart from the gold you did get better ships, more coal and more premium time. much better the second time

As I'm reading this I'm remembering the P.E.V. campaign and one particular topic. By the end I was one of the disappointed people but the grind was not too hard, pleasant at times and I had played the ships I liked, so... As soon as I read the "tin" about Italian Ships - No HE - slow reload - meh armour and big citadels was easy for me to decide, I wasn't going for it. Especially after reading about t5 and t6, and I have ships for ops. But one thing. Are the Italian cruisers incomplete? to me, they seem to be made for an era that didn't yet arrived. I'm talking about the IFHE rework. If and when it happen Are the Italian cruisers along with the british be considered the immediate and better choice soon after that? If so, then it's bad news for a lot of people

Might not be the ship or the line for you OP, simple as that.

ranked is for individuals. so 1 st overall player get a star 1 st players on the others teams save a star the rest get a mouth full of salt water.

Man, 3 years it's a looong time Where to start? Best thing is to watch some videos on youtube. search for: cv rework and patch 8.0, and hotfix and AA changes in bold perhaps the word you are searching could be slingshot? if so.

i remember a game that i had in the last sprint (t8). In my team was a French dd. Hot spot map We quickly reached a common understanding that staying together and attacking one cap at a time was the best way to go. but that French dd wanted to cap B. - i'll be right back! - Be cautious, don't engage! - don't worry they will never catch me! And off he went. Let's just say the red French dd had the same idea, and we were short a ship little after. It's funny thinking about that now, at that time wasn't funny at all.

I'm terrible sorry i should have explained. I still get some games without cvs, other games i don't get focus by them, other games i do get focused by them and when it happen it sucks Normally my favourite t6 ships (cruisers) are weak in AA. But i do get ocasional fun with them when the two first cases happen (no cv and when i'm not focused by them). Overall, t6 can still be fun and it's where/with i feel most confortable with . Cvs are not enough to ruin that tier for me, even if the fun can be much more hard to find. So, in these sense, they are a "bump" in the road. I'm having dificulties with t8 ships (cruisers), many times i rather be in a t6 or in a t7
