[WG] YabbaCoe WG Staff, WG Staff, WG Staff 10,676 posts 5,441 battles Report post #1 Posted August 21, 2019 Captains! Update 0.8.7 will introduce a new progression system—the Research Bureau! Players will be able to earn a new resource—Research Points—and exchange them for valuable rewards. All that’s required is to reset researchable branches of ships and progress through them anew. Research Points can be exchanged for new ships, combat signals, and bundles containing Free XP under the Research Bureau tab in the Armory. Further information you can find in dedicated article. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[DUBO] vonduus Players 69 posts Report post #2 Posted August 22, 2019 What happened to my ship xp? I just reset a line, and I had literally millions of ship xp distributed on the ships in the line, and now all those xp are gone! Although I probably never could afford to convert all this xp to free xp, I no longer have the option - shouldn't this loss of potential free xp be compensated somehow?

[-H-] Legiomortis1 Players 3 posts Report post #4 Posted August 22, 2019 Am I being ultra dense here? As my game has updated yet whilst I see all the new additions for the new French Directives there is no option for research beureau for me in the tech tree (And yes I have multiple Tier X ships) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[UNICS] Ungrim_Baraz Beta Tester 95 posts 12,313 battles Report post #5 Posted August 22, 2019 You did go ahead and implemented a feature which no one wanted and use it to distribute even more contente which no one needs. You could use the Research bureau to solve problems in your distribution, you could make past event locked content available through the RB to kill the very bad situation of players feeling they are missing on something when they cannot afford the stupidly retarded time and money intensive events such as the current one for Philippe (i.e. I have no intention on grinding the soviet BBs or French DDs as I have /am going to miss on their special commanders which clearly suit them so perfectly and hence give an in game advantage which, as I will lack, I will be "missing"). You could use the RB to give access to all this kind of event locked content, but no.... you have to introduce even more high tier premiums and then complain people do not play medium and low tiers... total bullshite and hyporisy from your side WG, not cool! Please, fire your project managers and the people in charge of deciding distribution of in game superior content, i.e. special commanders hiden behind tons of time and moeny. This game is no longer pay to advance, it is pay to remain competitive. I guess I will just leave, or club some seals at low tiers, I am sure this is helathy for the game either way... 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[W-L] Rhineheart_Thor [W-L] Players 1,738 posts 15,515 battles Report post #6 Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) Muse from the Morning Coffee Machine. My Views currently, and I am reluctant to share them, in World of Warships Forum, because of " off topic spam " is this: 1. There,s nothing I need, or require in The Research Bureau currently. 2. I spent a lot of My personal time grinding most of the ship lines, in which most of the Ships I do not use. ( So I do not need the ships ) 3. I currently hold over 50 million silver coins, I do not see any benefit to myself on spending them on any thing but premier consumables, any ship, I may need for any tournaments or missions, that I may wish to explore I can currently just buy it from my silver, if I do not already own it. 4. I am seriously considering selling ALL my ships including premier ships and just get hold of a C hull Myogi, and play the game with that 1 ship. 5. I like the idea of a game play with submarines, however from what I have read about world of warships submarine game play, it is for my mind, is " Unrealistic " I do not like the idea of O2 depletion having such a small time span, although I am under the impression War Gaming are working on some sort of snorkel consumable.

I am sorry for your Negative Experience on this, and I would feel annoyed as well, if it happened to Me. ~~ I feel there is no current ship in WOWS that matches up to " The Illustrious History " of Bismarck, except possibly USS Iowa. I think if one, was to build a Battle Boat for to-days world, I would probable build a Bismarck. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not re-setting when loosing those and not using gold to remove them.

[A-Z] Amaha Players 292 posts Report post #23 Posted September 1, 2019 This whole "Research Bureau" is probably the worst and the most useless thing added to this game. Rewards are so small and uninteresting, that they are not even deserve to call them "Rewards". And the idea of repeating madness of for example Nurnberg, Pensacola or Izumo is simply ridiculous.
