You can acquire mission for legendary module until 0.9.1. If you manage to do that, you should have entire 2020 year to complete the mission.

 

And whole "bureau" is supposedly aimed at "veteran players having nothing to do in game"... or those willing to throw wallet repeatedly at the screen to convert Free Exp to get the goodies.

Yes, so I have about 4 weeks to unlock my 2nd T10 ship and play 1 battle in it. Then I get the legendary module mission (and I can complete that within 11 months, that is no problem).

If I fail to unlock my 2nd T10 within 4 weeks, I can get my legendary module from the Research Bureau in a few years.

 

WG does not like casual players?

Looking at their borderline fetish towards "grind-your-[edited]-to-oblivion" events in last year... They want casuals to splash the cash

Wth is that Bajie ship for China? Is that the different Izumo? If so, why is it under Chinese control?

It's a "what if China bought the/an Izumo if Japan would have built the Izumo in the first place".

What the hell, thats the most unlikely thing to ever happen. They couldn't even afford to properly maintain their cruisers, let alone battleships...

You don't need to maintain it, just have it is enough... cfr: Arkhangelsk aka HMS Royal Sovereign aka "infinite turret traverse time because the hand of Stalin will guide our shells"

Yeeeah, again, you'd need funds to buy it. Which they don't have. Hell not even a harbor for it.

If you haven't completed the missions for the legendary upgrades by the end of the year 2020.............what happens to all the progress you have made? Compensation?

 

[DanSilverwing]

Just a heads-up that Directives 2,3,4 and all contain a "Lunar Warriors" mission that can only be completed with either Wukong (8), Bajie (9), or Siliwangi (8).

On EU the 2nd Directive will be available from Tuesday 21 January.

The Lunar New Year is on Saturday 25 January.

The ships are not yet released in the NA shop (think they'll be out on the Asia server first?)

 

They were only released for testing in 0.8.11.

 

No indication of their costs yet. Bajie is a Tier 9 Battleship, it would be unprecedented (but not wholly unexpected) for her to be sold in the Premium shop exclusively. Possibly another Coal purchase? (as Hayate is announced for fxp)

Last statement in that regard: They don't know yet.

[Hugh_Ruka]

So where's the Lunar New Year article ? The 0.9.0 patch article and Dasha in the video clearly mention it ... not yet existing ?

This seems to be a new low in information publishing for WG ... talking about something that there's no information available and asking as to check dedicated articles ...

 

Looks like I can start ignoring the main website for news about the game ...

 

EDIT: oh yeah the first information about Ranked was "no class restrictions", looks like at least SOME feedback got through ... now if you change the tier to 7 or so it'd be golden ....

Somehow I don't feel any excitement at all with these patches...

I agree, as soon as the patch was done, I went into the game... took one look at the directives... felt sick and left.

 

Another HARD (but I admit, not PR IMPOSSIBLE) grind.... BUT... if you buy a ship you can get easier directives .... that DOES smell like the Pay-To Rico....

 

as I said, felt unwell.... backed out of the game and... not planning on going back for a month or so.

Can you fix the MM? iam so tierd of matches being decided after 5 min cuz my team are so garbage they don't even understand what ammo to shoot.

It happens so often my or enemy team collapses instantly....

Especially DD players always seems to die as soon they press W

Yea, this bothers me aswell. Its 5 mins in game and im in close fight against 3 - 4 ships. Adrenaline is rushing, Im thinking what and how to do and sudenly game freezes and its over, its a win... Fck nooooo, let us fight!!! 

[Rolesz81]

Hey guys!

 

Do I have to collect the reward from the Drydock where PR is? I still have 3 days of premium time which I really don't wanna get right now, only if I must :)

One more thing: the x-mas containers will give the same things even if I open them after the new patch?

1. No, the Dockyard will stay as is until 0.9.1.

2. Yes, the contents are established when the containers are collected.

On my very first draw I 'got" the Hawkins...I "only" have to grind for it now.... (grind)

[LovelyBerta]

Directives are definitely doable, not Puerto Rico-like =D

Thanks! =)

[Zuxx]

So glad i stopped playing wows, unfortunately, I'm not in that 1% of dedicated players wargaming care so much.

[Afghanicus]

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.

[Captain_Newman]

Lol, infinite bundles. WG, you just can't help yourselves at this point, can you.. just off the deep end...

[MrFingers]

This bundles thing apparently has been done as well to bypass the Belgian "lootbox-ban", since those bundles for doubloons are available for me to buy.

 

Scummy.

Yeah, they are no longer boxed and you know the content of the next in line upfront.

 

They are still lootboxes by any other means. They are random luck of the draw content and they cost money.

The appropriate organisations are notified of this bypass operation.
