This is crazy - I started playing WoWs again after a long break a few days ago, then this happens - I live 150 metres away. But I am pretty shy so I will go but prbably not talk to anyone! Lol.

Just roll into the bar, stand on the nearest table and proclaim that you're here for the world of tanks tournament, you'll make instant friends ;)

 

On another note, i'm trying to persuade Thesailingrobin to get a flight from France to join us, we only sent him home a few weeks ago but I know he wants to come back for this lol!

Likewise, thank you for the great event guys! 

 

I have created a post on the WoWs reddit for those who are more inclined to leave their feedback on Reddit rather than the forum.

 

I look forward to the next one!

Enjoyed it even after a 400 mile round trip....  Film was great and meeting other players was cool.  Any chance of still sourcing a fat t-shirt out of those stuck in Germany?

[Artijack]

I must agree with RedMist, was was great to meet some of the people we play with, put faces to the names and we forgive you for the tshirts Lumberjack.

We hope that this wasn't just a one time event and we get to see you all again.

 

ACTION STATIONS

[DanSilverwing]

I'm glad this thread was re-opened...after it auto-locked only then did I think what a good idea it would have been to have it kept open until the day of the event!

 

Still, really enjoyed watching the film. 

Had to bail on the evening drinks, because reasons, but still really grateful for WG for putting on this event and hope it wasn't the last. 

[BlizzardWolf]

really good afternoon & evening - Thanks WG :-)

4/10 event

Mate, it was a great evening, there was a logistics issue, and you let it ruin your afternoon.  Wargaming were apologetic about it, and they opened a bar tab at the pub, they didn’t exactly cut corners.  I had more fun than I was expecting despite being initially slightly disappointed.

 

Also at the pub afterwards olly said he would see if he could use our WG ids to sort things out.  (He was careful not to make any promises).

[Armoured_Reaper]

I was disapointed about the T-shirts. But was mainly there to support the UK event,  had already seen Dunkirk and this second viewing I still have to say...not my favourite movie. Didn't go for drinks after as work nights so had stayed up to go to the event. Hope the rest of the night went well. Would be cool if they could sort the t-shirts out after the fact though 👍 

[Jamdear]

Some seriously salty folks out there. You got a free film viewing and free drinks at the bar afterwards, what more did you want?! Yeah yeah, a t-shirt. I get it. Met some lovely folks on Saturday, thanks for the evening, WG.

First of all, can I say again that I enjoyed the event, but I'm going to give the negative feedback, as you have asked for it.  But being British this feels discourteous....  

 

1. In the interval between the film and the bar, everyone was milling about aimlessly for about 15 min, and as I couldn't get signal, I found it challenging to get to the bar.  I was also only aware that you had booked a room because of reading this thread beforehand.  The sports bar packed with football fans was quite an intimidating sight, and if I hadn't known you'd booked a room, I might have given it a miss as I was arriving alone.  All the clans sort of milled around outside the cinema, and finding the people who were going was a challenge. 

 

2. It did feel like we were standing outside for a bit too long outside the cinema in the cold, but there probably wasn't much you could've done, and you did come out and say hi to the queue.

 

3. it did seem like everyone from WG disappeared straight after the film, it was quite disconcerting, then they arrived about 15 minutes after me at the bar.   

 

4. I didn't understand competitive WoWs, and I still don't, and I don't think that event helped apart from that the Stalingrad is overpowered.  But this is more of an observation as I don't think it would be possible to change this without disrupting the conversations of those who were not interested. 

 

5. Having an ID warning on the email for apparently no reason. 

 

That's all I can think of atm.
