[WG] YabbaCoe WG Staff, WG Staff, WG Staff 10,676 posts 5,441 battles Report post #1 Posted November 21, 2019 Captains! With the holiday season drawing near, it’s the perfect time to dive into the gleaming atmosphere of the festively decorated Port of New York. You can also enjoy a special New Year event with a new collection to gather; stocks of Coal, Steel, and other in-game goodies to collect; and new ships to obtain! Please note: the rewards for activities on the Public Test server may differ from the rewards credited on the live server. Snowflakes In Update 0.8.11, Snowflakes with holiday victory bonuses will be placed on all ships of Tier V and above. Snowflakes blown off Tier V–VII ships will bring 400–750 Coal; Snowflakes from Tier VIII–IX ships will bring 75 Steel; and victorious battles with Tier X ships will bring good old Santa's Gift containers. The latter have a certain chance of dropping one of many Premium ships, as well as other enticing rewards (e.g. doubloons). Dockyard You’ll find a personal Dockyard in your Port, ready for the construction of X Puerto Rico . The process of constructing the ship is split into several stages. To complete the ship, you must go through all the stages of construction, from laying the keel to installing the ship’s armament and deck equipment. Completing each stage will bring you valuable rewards, but the final and most valuable reward is the ship herself. The cherry on the cake is that she comes with a festive permanent camouflage mounted. It will only be possible to construct the cruiser during Update 0.8.11. In order to complete work on her in good time, you’ll need to erect various structures at the Dockyard. These structures will become available sequentially, and building them will require Shipbuilding Tokens—a special temporary resource. You can collect these Tokens by actively progressing through the Directives of the event, and then you can use them to accelerate the construction process. If you lack Tokens, simply use doubloons to speed up the process instead. Event Directives The event consists of seven Directives. By completing these Directives and their missions, you'll get VII Gorizia, various in-game goodies, Santa's Gift containers, Shipbuilding Tokens, and Shipbuilding containers. These containers drop elements of the new collection in addition to many other desirable items. Keep in mind that you won't be required to complete all seven Directives to replenish your collection of ships. To get your hands on VII Gorizia, you only need to complete three out of the seven Directives. The remaining four Directives are aimed at the most determined "Sea Wolves"—those Captains who have their hearts set on speeding up the construction of the much-desired X Puerto Rico. Shipbuilding Collection The new collection consists of 20 elements related to various stages of the shipbuilding process, taking WWII-era U.S. large cruiser X Puerto Rico as the example. The collection offers you insights into how a warship is built from a variety of viewpoints. It starts from the keel-laying stage, then moves to the perspectives of those involved in the construction process, the machinery used at dockyards, and the ship’s armament and equipment. Each completed subcollection will reward you with 1 day of Warships Premium Account. The reward for completing the entire collection is a Santa's Big Gift container. On the Public Test server, VII Gorizia and X Puerto Rico will be replaced with other rewards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[ST-EU] DisorderZ55 Beta Tester 203 posts 13,229 battles Report post #2 Posted November 21, 2019 Is it meant to be that the ship building containers dont give any Ship building tokens? There is only a mission for tokens via Ranked Battles otherwise its the Directives completion to get any tokens, Seems like a bit of an oversight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fat_Rat_csb Beta Tester 9 posts 10,057 battles Report post #4 Posted November 21, 2019 (edited) Quick feedback: 1. Shipbuilding is really nice! Keep going! 2. Shipbuilding containers as tier 10 snowflake rewards (I did NOT get Santa containers!?) feel somewhat underwhelming compared to steel at tier 8/9. I only had 2 t10 ships in port though. Will there be other containers as reward for t10? Edited November 21, 2019 by Fat_Rat_csb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As was mentioned, rewards on PT may differ from rewards on live servers. Shipbuilding containers are given there to boost ship building and collecting items for the collection. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[-SBG-] ColonelPete Players 38,559 posts 19,178 battles Report post #7 Posted November 22, 2019 The dockyard looks great and you should use that for future events. Playing the game to get tokens and built the ship, looks fine, unless it becomes too grindy. Using dubloons to speed up the progress is ok, BUT apart from a flat bonus you get a bonus per minute. That means you better get that bonus as early as possible. Unfortunately, you do not know that early if you need that bonus AND you do not know if you have time to finish the event, meaning you spend dubloons and do not get the ship It would be better if dubloons gave you a bigger flat bonus. That way you would use them at the end, when you know that you cannot finish the event just by playing. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know why, but I had the feeling, that we will get also shipbuilding tokens from Shipbuilding container. But I was mistaken! In the article there is a line under Dockyard: "You can collect these Tokens by actively progressing through the Directives of the event, and then you can use them to accelerate the construction process." So only in Directives. Sorry for that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[U-F-G] Ruffnecks Players 57 posts 20,928 battles Report post #13 Posted November 22, 2019 Good evening fellow commanders I found the application for the dockyard great and its something new, the only thing I would recommend is to strengthen the way to get the Puerto rico, for now as I can see everybody can obtain him when investing only 3k doubloons youre sure you've got him in time, I think if WG wont make it a challenge whole server will be full of this als with uncapable captains who just can spend money. I hope more people agree with me that they can make it a liitle harder to get ruffnecks 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[MBROS] Bokusatsu_Tenshi Players 76 posts Report post #14 Posted November 22, 2019 It´s normal that you cannot complete the collection? I have all the possible shipyard containters from everywhere and i collected 19/20 items with 3 duplicated left. So it´s impossible to complete the collection. Can it be completed in the 2nd round? Forget it: I discovered that "Gorizia" means "Shinonome" in WG language. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[TEU] Confluentes Supertester, Privateer 253 posts 17,902 battles Report post #19 Posted November 23, 2019 I ask myself how WG blocks the fact that too many Lowlevels get their hands on a Tier X Cruiser. I cant see any content block except that Directive 7 is just Tier X ships BUT do you need that last Directive to get Puerto Rico? I fear another yellow turret bismarck wave at TX :) And are the prices on PST for the Dubloon Boosters the same on Lifeservers? I find them really ok atm but i fear.....

Well, on the PTS most players can complete the Puerto Rico in a day or two. On the main server everyone will be struggling during the whole update, buying boosters with doubloons etc. On the PTS you can complete all directives in few hours basically and on the main server you will need like a month or so. On the PTS you can shipbuilding tokens for every Ranked battle you play and on the main server you won't get any tokens for ranked battles played. What I'm saying is that it will be much more difficult to finish the vessel on the main server and if someone wants to pay doubloons, still some time and effort needs to be put into it. If the point is that low lvl potatoes can obtain it... well... the same low lvl potato can obtain any premium if they pay for it so I don't see where is the problem exactly.

[NLD2] Rockstone_III Players 275 posts 16,314 battles Report post #21 Posted November 24, 2019 This ship building thing is great…. really love that. Not I realise its a Christmas thing, but from next year on... wouldn't it be fun if the dockyard was used to introduce a new shipline? Instead of getting a mission to receive a tier 5-8 techtree ship (which anyone can complete in a couple of days work), have the player build the tier-5 ship using the dockyard. And then he can progress to higher tiers playing that tier-5... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[STARS] RedOnly Players 733 posts Report post #23 Posted November 28, 2019 One more thing: LIke the NY Port for new Year 2020 but you should clean a bit the cargo where containers open. Too many objects from my point of view. Maybe Christmas and New year decorations but not every possible symbolic object. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Am I missing something here? There are 1,950 tokens available from the directives, plus a few more from elsewhere but I think I managed to get 2 boosters plus the 3 for gold on the first round of testing and I'm not sure that was enough to complete the build (did'nt get a chance to log in on Monday). Because the directives are complete from the first round there are no more tokens available and yet it is supposedly possible to complete the build twice. So how is it possible to complete in a day or two? Is there some other way to speed things up that I can't see? Edit: Aha........... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
