Return of the Fleet of Fog: Last Chance!

[TWNWA]

Is there some interesting prize for completing the collection or is it just for ending up with 7 Myokos + 5 Kongos oxidating in our ports?

Manga crap...no thanks!

You shot yourself in the Foot there a bit.

 

If I have the Ships already. And Buy the Package I get Doubloons.

If I Buy the Package and only after that get the Ships from Missions I only get Credits.

 

Moreover. The amount of Doubloons I get is way higher than the amount of Credits Value I get.

Which basicly means that your  Forcing me to do the Missions First and then Buy the Package. But if I do the Missions First I have no Reason to buy the Big Pack anymore as I.ll be off much Cheaper just buying the Parts I am missing.

 

 

If not for this I would just have gotten the Big Package right now.

But this way getting it now feels like I am throwing away like 15k Doubloons if I just bought the Package.

Awww this is eating me from the Inside xD

I want the Stuff now. But not Grinding the Missions First feels like a waste.....

I will do the Missions anyways but it will take a Week.....

 

You really need to Pay Attention to such Synergy Stuff resulting from doing things in a certain Order......

 

 

This is valid feedback but unfortunately not such an easy issue to address after the fact. Due to the fact that the ships were previously available for missions we could not enable doubloon compensation for the missions.

Sure I can agree they are new in the shop, but they look just the same as before in which case they aren't new they are just old stuff made premium because Wargaming decided they should be premium so they can sell it at a later date. That doesn't make them new and what you said came off as well "Old stuff wasn't premium, new stuff is" Which is incorrect to be fair, the correct statement would be "Old stuff wasn't premium when they first came out, but were made so at a later date therefor it's premium now." Nothing new was made premium, the ARP they added to the shop now is old stuff added to the shop that are premium by default because of old changes. Faceplam all you want the only new thing about this is that they are in the shop that's it, and maybe a new camo for ARP Takao that doesn't make everything all of a sudden new.

 

It is actually new content for the majority of our player-base, as not everyone was playing back in 2016 and as such never had a chance to obtain any of these ships.

One does not simply disable Arpeggio content filter and have perfectly fine tier 5 and 7 premiums for, given recent events, little effort

[syfteland]

Gotta love the fact that you HAVE to buy ARP Takao to get access to the new camo, with no other options like buying it separatly or earning it through a mission. Thx wargaming, another thing I was hyped for ruined by your sales department being greedy. I would have been perfectly fine throwing out money for the camouflage alone, with no other stuff, but when I have to buy a ship I already have, one that I went to hell and back in order to get, it kinda seems like you're pissing on the effort all of us made back during that event.

Slap a new skin on ARP Takao and call it new content all you want, it's old content by any other standard well of course with the exception of that ARP Takao skin that one I will let you have. That's like saying the same old event is new because someone didn't get to try it first time around, unlike Halloween you get basically the same stuff. Using Halloween as an example because so far it's been different enough each time that you can call it new content 

 

Wait wait wait... for the majority of your player-base, wow that does not sound good at all. "Oh boy, someones lost their former player-base" says the "Old Guard". Anyhow, new or old content it's nice to see you bringing back old stuff for new players to enjoy and old ones that missed it the first time around. So any chances to get that ARP Nachi or is that stuck in the P-Shop for the foreseeable future? Not that I wouldn't contemplate buying it if I should feel the need or the itch, I just happen to be curious to know if it's going to be a thing.

You do realize that you're basically admitting that most of your player-base are new players which means that most of the older ones left the game for good?

 

I mean that's something that we can see but not something I'd expect WG to admit in public.

 

Good to know.

@MrConway, any chance of getting the new Takao camo by doubloons? The 2016 players didn't have the chance to get it and it seems a bit silly to buy the same ship again just for the new camo. 

 

And by the way, as now the submarines are going to be introduced, is it possible that the ARP I-401 comes out in the game?

That is literally the prize if you don't plan on using them. Also it's 1 Myoko and 4 Kongo at least from missions at the given time.

@MrConway makes sense, so when is the Missouri, Musashi and Kronstadt  coming back to the tech tree for free exp? I'm sure a lot of new people here weren't able to obtain them out side of lootboxes and special events made for this game's whales.

[Afghanicus]

That's A LOT of grind though.

 

I wish WG would make events more interesting instead of being the same crap all over again.

 

I don't mind hard but hard in a sense of specific requirements, not just grind and grind mindlessly to the point you don't wish to play at all.

[Zigiran]

Thank you WG for allowing me to get some nice premium ships.

 

Also, please ignore the old grandpa's complaining that "back in the old days...".

Although, I do have to say, you guys sound hilarious.

Everybody who was not there 4 years ago gets a chance to get these ships (very nice) and all you can do is complain "I already have these ships"

How entitled are you people? Oh no, an event where you do not get new ships but all the new people do... how horrible for you old people.

Did you expect that the playerbase would stay the same for 4 years? Some people leave, some people join. In 4 years, yeah, that means a lot of new players who do not have the ARP ships.

Yeah, they are pretty nasty for just 2 weeks. I think that with some luck i'll at least be able to get Hiei.

How terrible of us players who have shovelled money into the game for so many years supporting WG, for hoping that they would finally do an event that the entire playerbase can participate in. How entitled of us 

[samyboy25]

Does anyone know if they are planning to sell the red skin for Takao separately?
€45 is just a bit much if you just want the skin -_-

There are no details we can share about that. Right now your only option is to buy the bundle. It may or may not be available on its own in future, but that also depends on contractual details and only time will tell.

To be fair I wasn't complaining about the ships that I already have, I even said it's nice that they do it and I am one of the "old grandpa's". I was more upset that they hadn't given us the other ships to obtain via missions as well when they already added them in the P-shop. It might be that they are going to add them via missions at a later date, which I am hoping it is something they would or at least something that they will think about extensively.

 

Also speaking for myself I've already invested money into the game, so yeah I may be entitled but at least I've earned being that. It's not like I write or "complain" a lot on the Forums that can be seen on my "posts" count. I do believe those of us that have spent money on the game, we are allowed to be entitled and voice our discontent with something. Can't speak for the F2P player-base though. It's more about having the ability to gain some of the ships us old players may have missed or haven't been able to obtain because of missions such as "Destroy XX amount of Soviet Ships", just around the time USSR were being released. Which meant chances of getting one were very slim compared to a US or JPN

Don't act dumb, please.

 

The keyword is "MAJORITY" in that post I quoted so that's the focus. Nobody said the player-base is the same or can stay the same.

 

But saying that the majority of players were not around when the "first batch" of ARP ships were introduced is a whole other story. A story linked to the fact that many players are leaving and WG is kinda hoping new players stick around. However, seems like they do everything they can to scare them away and not keep them playing. But yeah, a story for another topic. Not that WG gives a crap about it... or maybe they do but have no idea what to do about it.

3+ years is a long time in a F2P game.

Many AA titles do not keep their players that long.

[ChatBanForSayingTruth]

Do you really sell Takao for £50 as a full price? Are you retarded? We ain't that stupid to see how tier 8 ships used to and still do cost.

"Discount" price - £39.78

 

Atago - which is copy paste exact ship - £30.95

 

Wargaming either retarded or they think we are. I'm sure i'm not retarded so it leaves me with one option.

 

Didn't read rest of the comments but i think they should be similar.

Alternatively you could have just written nothing and we'd have as much info.

Here's something WG have still not learned, overpricing things and then pretending they don't know what their own offers are just means I'm not buying the ship, as in future you could offer the skin, so if you don't offer the skin you get no money. Alternatively you could say 'No the skin won't be available' and people can then debate whether paying that much for a recolour that is already (for many years) available in the modpack, for a ship they already own one or two (Atago) of is worth it. 

WG is constantly told by the playerbase things that they want that WG could actually make money from but it never happens. If business was the school you were attending the bus you would ride would be the very short one.

[syfteland]

Btw, what is up with the blue spots on the rangefinders on the red Takao camo, clearly visible on the screenshots? Will those be there in game, will they be fixed or is it just a visual bug? Imagine paying for a ship, in most cases just to get the new camo, only that camo is incomplete. the only examples I've seen that are more dissapointing are some of the Halloween skins like Varg for Bismarck, where most of the ships armour remains pristine, unlike Rasputin, Octopus and Leviathan that have more rust than iron.

with 3%/4% -10% cost and +50% xp bonus? Like 95% of cammos are better than those.

That's standard Tier II --> VIII premium camo stats; They are perfectly fine
