Update 0.8.11: New Year

[The_EURL_Guy]

New Year gifts, the ability to construct a ship, a new collection, a Ranked Sprint, and Clan Brawls!

Read it on the portal

[rilship]

Remove CVs from the game, the best gift you can make.

[Sweedish_Gunner]

So Günther Lütjens = Nikolai Kuznetsov in Wargaming's mind. That's kinda absurd, they aren't even close. 

[wot_2016_gunner]

Well... I wish everybody good luck with Puerto Rico.

[Contrador]

I was looking forward to Lütjens, to collect him in some sensible manner. But for 175k coal, forget it WG, he is not as effective as Kuznetsov.

 

Under average battle conditions, his use as BB commander is questionable, his talents are most useful on CV anyway [to use him as DD com. is an insult].

 

Why do you waste your work on him in such a manner ?

[rage1750]

Needs more info on PR's building mechanics.

[Staines_upon_Thames]

"some articles will contain a special hidden button for attentive readers!"   :)

[Furiousacerimmer]

So if we've reset a branch we don't get any snowflakes without re-researching all the ships?

[defender128]

hehe "Family friendly holidays", looks at PR grind. Are you sure about that?

*looks over right shoulder, looks over left shoulder* *whispers* "But, dude, he's not Russian, he can't be on the same level as Kuznetsov. That would be unacceptable"

I was wondering wtf they mean by "family friendly" , since when being away from your family in order to grind you brains out is family friendly. 

[SquibSurefire]

You do not think that the vast amount of radar is enough so go ahead, add more as a big FU to the dd lines.... again

 

[DanSilverwing]

Ajax permanent camouflage for Leander to be made available with a combat mission chain. I love this!

 

Ranked Sprint for one week only over the holiday period.

 

Clan Brawls with larger teams. Hmm.

[rihardslv11]

So the snowflakes are added to already owned ships or they will also be added to a ship purchased/added to my port in 0.8.11 ?

[Toivia]

Hmm, and I was defending you with the Christmas directives, missions etc WG. What do you do? Release the next legendary commander directly to the armory for an absurd amount of coal (again, like with Kuznetsov). Guess I still won't get a special useful german commander then.

 

Oh, and the 1v1 Ranked Sprint for only like a week over the holidays.

 

Like the usual not even two weeks for Ranked Sprint wasn't a cutthroat deadine already. Not even gonna comment regular Ranked sesons that used to last well over a month (6 weeks or more) and now don't even stay for 4 weeks.

If it's the same as last year, they will be added to ships that you purchase in 8.11 as well.

Hopefully it will be like the PTS version where every Rank is irrevocable. If so it should really be called Ranked Turbo.

 

Edit: Oh, and it would be a good idea to explore the possibility of cross-server matches, like you've done for CBs, to compensate for a reduced server population. I can't imagine that many people in NA/EU will be playing around then.

Every rank irrevocable? I'm afraid that really sounds like a PTS specific boost.

 

Well, I can only hope I'll dig out a T8 ship capable to somehow deal with everything (except CVs, of course, hopefully those will rank out much faster so I don't see them).

[anonym_FDOLXpxOfXXq]

Extremely disappointed with the larger teams for clan brawls: the point was precisely to easily assemble teams.

Well, I thought wg had ONE good idea in 2019, guess it was just a fluke.

Neither the Spanish nor the U.S. have had good luck with Puerto Rico...

[Chug]

Dockyard seems like the coolest thing ever to enter the game....any chance WG are looking at this as a new way to grind talent trees ?
That would be so damn cool  alot more interactive than just clicking stuff in a talent-tree.   PLZ make this happen WG.

And finally...any news on submarines....havent heard anything in a while now ? ? ?

What do you mean for "talent-tree"?

[JackCleggRMLI]

For those who have reset branches of ships, will it be the same deal as last time during the anniversary? i.e. we receive the rewards for reset ships automatically & can re-earn the rewards if you regain the reset ships during the time period?

[wot_2016_gunner]

Besides; @Crysantos @MrConway

I just remembered that there is one thing missing from the Dockyard... 

 

A good old bottle of champagne ; It's the baptism ceremony for all ships and i just remembered that it's missing. Better to take note for the next time you plan on using the Dockyard.
