I don't question your facts, I question your observations based on them. But alright, let's agree to disagree. I stay by the fact that keeping the PR for the whole British patch was completely necessary and just a cry to press that 'magic button' for the ones that are hesitant to do so. Worse than the last time when port slots were 'kidnapped" by those event ships without being able to sell them, play them or do anything with them.

Why would you keep your tokens, unused? WUT?! Everyone knows tokens are supposed to be used as soon as you get them, especially in this event.

You cannot finish her with premium boosters now, only straight with doubloons - for 15k, 25k or 35k if you played enough to reach one of those phases. If someone missed the complete event, you cannot buy the Puerto Rico at all, even if you're willing to spend the 200 euros or whatever was the price for the 59k doubloons that some cash whales were buying her for.

I just recently started playing operations and since both Narai and Raptor had serious issues with autopilot and many bugs related to that, I find this 'Aegis' to not be affected by it. At least not in a way that would affect the final outcome. I never played it before so maybe some experienced players might see something I can't. I'm basically grinding T6 ships and this op comes in perfectly. Playing mostly Izmail and Bayern and have pretty good results with both. Here's the last one with Izmail where every 6th shot was a citadel. P.S. The black screen in the background (instead of a blurred screenshot from the end of the battle) is because I got disconnected in the middle of the battle (Croatian and Montenegrin players feel my pain), otherwise I believe I'd do even better.

Did anyone notice some strange (very unnatural) trails behind ships? At least in operations (haven't played anything else yet) I'll give more details later, just wanted to drop it here in case others have noticed the same...

So the cash whales were away in December, away in January and that's why WG will keep it for February as well? M'kay then.

First of all, thanks for replying. Look, I understand how annoying I must be in your eyes and I get that. But constant disconnections really make my gaming very difficult, impossible at times. If it was only me, I'd push my ISP (even though that's easier said than done and you probably know this) but seeing so many players, including a very popular CC having the same issues, at the SAME TIME, assures me that the problems is not just with me. I'm not an IT engineer and I cannot blame your servers and claim they are the issue for sure. But the same way, you (you along all customer support guys and other WG staff that intervened in the last few weeks regarding the issue) cannot just say "hey buddy, it's all good with us, the problem must be in your courtyard" because it frustrates us even more. There is obviously a problem between the whole "Balkan region" and WG servers and WG IT technicians should investigate this issue, not me. I cannot do anything unless telling you every time I have a complete disconnection lasting few seconds or few minutes or giving you PingPlotter and WGcheck reports. I just want this issue to be fixed (me and many others) but it won't be if WG constantly refuses to check thoroughly where the issues is and instead just blaming our ISPs like that's solving anything.

Really? That's your logical explanation of their move? If someone has tens of thousands of golds and whatever, they own Puerto Rico for sure so the unfinished PR in the Dockyard along with the 'magic button' to finish her for doubloons has absolutely nothing to do with the group of people you're talking about. Announced maybe (I said I might have missed it due to too many recycled articles that I have to ignore). "Meant to be"? I don't think so. Why is it meant to be? The premium ones on top and the regular ones, the ones for British tokens that the whole event is dedicated to on the bottom? Is that how it was with the other random bundles? Meant to be, he says. LOL

Does that make placing it on top normal? Or just scammy and greedy? IDK, maybe it's ok for some players. Maybe we should be presented with some loot boxes for doubloons as a pop-up window, every time we finish a battle. Yeah, maybe it's just me.

@MrConway @Crysantos @Tanatoy @Sehales @YabbaCoe Just to let you know that the new patch did NOT fix the issues with disconnections. It's not like I expected you to do something because you still refuse to acknowledge the issue even though I gave you over 70 players having the same issues at the same time. Your delusion of blaming it on our ISPs (even though we're from different countries using different ISPs) makes no sense at all. FYI: 16:48 LT (15:48 UTC) DISCONNECTION. I got kicked out of the battle alongside other members from my clan who were online. Also, @Flambass got disconnected at the very same time, in the middle of a battle while steaming on Twitch.. Yeah, it's probably all of us with a problem and nothing to do with you. Also refusing to acknowledge the obvious problem and blaming it on the players is very unprofessional. Don't even mention the support tickets, those guys are repeating the same 'song' like it's a broken record. Complete waste of time.

One observation... Besides the random bundles every player hate... besides now being unlimited with no guarantee of a ship being dropped no matter how many bundles you obtain... Now the premium ones are on top and then the standard ones (for temporary tokens) are below. IIRC, it was always the other way around and that was the only normal way. Now WG is trying to make players accidentally buy premium ones for doubloons by placing those on top? Seriously? It's things like these that make players hate you because you're showing disrespect towards your players with every change you make.

WG is proving all the time that they don't care about feedback, at all. I'd accept that if they had the decency to say it. However, they always repeat how important players' feedback is etc. when the fact couldn't be further from the truth and that's being proven constantly. It's one of the reason I don't even report bugs anymore or participate in the PTS waste of time anymore. From all the feedback I left and I've seen left by many others during the early stages on testing, WG did absolutely NOTHING to change anything. Not to mention all empty words and BS they constantly use. From all the broken promises WG ever made to "we'll look into it" but never actually do. Hell, I even had @Sub_Octavian promising he will look into some matter (regarding co-op battles ending too quick) like a month ago and he never gave any feedback after that. I guess they don't realize how unprofessional that behavior is and that common sense players will be walking away. Nobody likes to be ignored and treated like $hit.

I'll just point out that's funny (and sad at the same time) when you have a WG staff appearing at the beginning of the discussion trying to counteract the negative (yet constructive) criticism. Then when he runs out of arguments (or anything to say really) he just disappears and leaves the discussion. Then he (or a college) might pop up from time to time to check if anyone is crossing a line and at the end of the patch it will be "Thanks for your feedback, we're closing this thread now". I guess everyone knows what that means, no need to translate and explain any further.

Usually about a week after the past patch hits the live server. Since 0.9.0 will come this early morning... you can expect the 0.9.1 PTS in about a week.

@wot_2016_gunner I guess they want to remind all players of a wonderful Christmas event. Maybe they will leave the PR in the Dockyard as well, to sit there unfinished for you to stare at her. Along with the "magic button" to finish her with doubloons.

Thanks for the UNLIMITED RANDOM BUNDLES. Now please look up the word "improvement" in the dictionary and adjust everything accordingly. Nobody liked random bundles. I wonder what genius thought that making them unlimited is something that players will appreciate. You're loosing your compass and there is something called "point of no return". You might wanna look up that as well.

Not the first and not the last promise WG breaks. They don't give a F about those promises and they know they can get away with it. If they got away with PR fiasco and hiding the UU upgrades behind the RB, all in the same patch, in the middle of Christmas and New Year.. they'll get away with anything.

You know what's the worst part? You'll buy her for 15k doubloons. You know the rest of the story.

I can clarify that for you. Yes, the 'Unique Upgrades' (aka 'Legendary Upgrades') will be moved behind the 'Research Bureau' where you will be able to get them with RB points/tokens or whatever it's called (I have none so I wouldn't know and I don't play on having them at all). After the 0.9.0 update, the UU missions will no longer be obtainable by researching T10 ships. The active ones you have can be completed until the end of 2020 but it will be not possible to obtain new UU missions. That way UU will be only for old players who have researched all ships and are willing to grind through them again. At least in theory because in practice all WG wants is for you to spend your free XP on the line you reset and if you don't have enough... well, you can use doubloons to obtain the free XP you're missing. It's all very obvious but I guess WG think we're stupid hamsters, waiting for wheel to turn.

The main guns are complete on my PR. Why can't I take it for a spin? I don't give a F about the paint and the rigging.

One thread was not enough?

You can no longer buy premium boosters. It's well known and has been announced in time. The only button you can press is the only overpaying 15k/25k/35k doubloons for a mediocre PR. It's the biggest button on the screen, you won't miss it.

1. Yes, there are 4 ships in total that can be obtained theoretically. You'll tell us how many you received though. So far I was usually getting 1-2 ships from these 'early access' events but this time I expect none at all, thanks to the new "improvements". 2. Yes, each ships comes with a permanent camo but that's not a huge thing, especially not a justification for infinite random bundles. I have premium camo for most Italian cruisers and they were obtained for free. 3. You can see the next bundle content? And since when is that a new feature? You were able to see that for quite some time now. I see no improvements. I just see a greedy company trying to milk their players, no matter the consequences.

Excuse my suspicions but... What is a high chance? Do you have a number? Based on what you consider you have a 'high chance' of getting a ship if you get 30 random bundles. Seems you're missing the point completely. We're talking about INFINITE RANDOM BUNDLES. Let that sink in. So far the random bundles were terrible. Nobody liked them. But at least you knew how many there are and what are the chances of getting a ship or ships. This time WG managed to make it even worse - the random bundles are unlimited and you might not get a single ship from all the bundles you collect. Then, when you cannot obtain the British tokens anymore, the ones that really want to test the ships before the others will be forced to pay doubloons as that will be the only option to get new bundles. You don't need a high IQ to see what WG is doing, do you?
