While the dev blog post is always preliminary and subject to change... I really believe that the date for completing the UU combat missions won't change ie. won't be shorter than announced. That would be really bad.

Date change now? No, not now that it has been included and enshrined in the update notes

Will the Cheshire be available to buy from Thursday? I have just got a 30% coupon for 3 years service but it is only valid for 3 days.

Great. So first, I am getting the short end of the stick in the pre-release lottery. And now, the very same luck bites me AGAIN because I did not get the Albermarle, which means I am left out of earning additional tokens with her. The whole system just freaks me out.

Well, I was wondering why the chances of a ship from during the current update were so low (lowest than ever before).

 

Now that we see those ships are needed in order to get more tokens... I kinda understand their system. Most of the players will have to buy a specific ship from the premium store in order to obtain those extra tokens and be able to play more relaxed. Gorizia style.

 

I just wished they were at least a bit more honest and straight forward instead of doing it sneaky like that. Oh well.

Btw guys, about the new test ships (Agir, Yashima, exc.) don't expect anything from Flamu as it has been chat-banned for like 90 days on EU and WG also excluded him from getting the new test ships. 

Clip of today talking about it (https://www.twitch.tv/flamuu/clip/GenerousWanderingSandwichTinyFace?filter=clips&range=24hr&sort=time)

 

and also, just to warn WG, he's beginning to think about leaving the CC program; he hasn't decided or prepered anything yet, but the thought is there.

That wouldn't be much of a shame, some of the big streamers are simply too toxic these days. Fight against them, go back and rewatch their stream just to find that they have been insulting you stupid/retarded etc to a horde of nodding viewers.

Are daily combat missions broken? I am not getting any progress on "Daily Mission: Operation Cerberus, 1-1".

Update: my third battle impressed the combat mission so much so it counted the 250 base xp

I think you are out of luck. On https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/game-updates/british-cruisers-london/ it says "You'll also be able to complete the Challenges on VIII Cheshire after she becomes available at the end of February", and by then your coupon will have expired.

About the workaround for in-game browser issues, in the support section it says: "Development Team is working on a permanent fix. We hope to have it ready for Update 0.9.1."

Didn't read anything about this in the changelog, will this still be fixed with update 9.1?

Use your fxp to grind albemarle and play with her. no need to buy the ships right away. buy it when you need doublions you will get compensated when you get her from the directive. don't spend more then absolutley nessesary.

The bundle is a joke nothing in it that you ashely need. you don't need the tokens from it. not from start anyway.

Around 300,000 freeXP, huh?

How is Narai broken again? Is it too easy?

anything but paying. lol

[panzerbetyar_h]

Can you stop taking out Operations? Perfect way to grind ships or have some fun instead of randoms sometimes...

 

Same operations again and again, now even less...so amazing.

 

Also give back Operation Cherry Blossom, that was a great operation...

[416taylor]

starting to like albemarle more and more. ones jingles is a 19 skill she'll be tough

It was RagingEngaging (RagingNoob in-game)?

You play too good? "Lucky c*nt not letting me play"

You play bad? "Stupid noob" and other bad words. He's toxic to everyone, hates the community and admits to that. 

I just couldn't watch it for more than 5 min it was too much for me. Flamu is nothing compared to him.

absolutely agree.

Imagine the queue if WG would give us a new T8-operation.

I mean, what should i currently queue-up for?

ANY new operation ... I stopped playing them completely except Narai from time to time and they are removing that ...

TBH I don't care, I pick the streamers I like and don't care about the rest. Flamuu is a special case. I don't watch his streams, as his style does rubs me the wrong way, but I do respect him as a player who knows the game (and I do follow him on the tube). So losing him from the CC community will be a net loss for WG.

Does anybody know when the Dockyard will vanish from the client ? There's nothing I can do there and it just wastes screen space now ...

The change of Kremlin is not enough and will not fix her overperformance. She needs a Sigma of 1.7.

Based on what? Your own "expertise"?

I'm not arguing she isn't overperforming.
I am asking where did you pull this magical number from?

Unfortunately we were not able to get the fix rolled out in this version, hopefully it will make it into the next release.

I think this is the third consecutive update with a nerf to Kremlin and we will keep making changes until she is at the point where we want her to be.

 

This approach lets us look at the live data and see the impact of the smaller changes on her balance from update to update.

That is the thing. Such a procedure is warranted when the current performance is close to the target value. I do not see that.

The bigger the difference, the bigger the changes you have to apply. All other RU BB started with 1.7 Sigma, even the Tier IX and the RU BB performed well, even too well with that. It is very unlikely that any value above 1.7 will lead to a ballanced performance.

 

Considering the more drastic changes applied to other ships for less overperformance, I am surprised about the procedure.
