"Essentially, the cyclone is designed to reduce the reconnaissance potential of aircraft carriers in Clan Battles. The option to add a maximum of two battleships or replace one of them with one carrier will make team lineups and battle tactics in the upcoming Season more diverse. For example, it's possible that destroyers might prove to be a popular choice."

 

I have a feeling this wont age well during the clanbattle season. 

 

Edit: Wow and they really introduce mercenaries in a system that can be used for RMT. Congratulations WG.

 

Indeed, you listen and monitor our feedback closely. :fish_happy:

Paolo Emilio for research points will be a fail just like Neustrashimy was for steel.

 

That pricing is totaly absurd. One more reset with bonus and one can grab Ohio/Slava.

150 ship branches that you have reset - surely dudes (or dudettes) are living in some weird drug-induced dream ...

 

PS! same applies to emilio price tag ...

- The gold and white eagle 3D camo design looks like it came straight out of King Tuts tomb lol.

- Making sun glare more realistic is not actually a good thing since tbh the glare of the sun off water into your eyes is blinding and annoying as F. Thumbs up for realism but a thumbs down for it's eye wincing consequences.

- I haven't seen the stats for these long range hard hitting U.S. BB's but wouldn't that feature effectively remove any reasons to grind or play the Jap BB's?

- Even more powerful CV's? Not sure that's good for gameplay but you know better so... good luck with that.

This research will also require a random reference group, which is why certain players will unfortunately not have access to Daily Shipments during this Update.

Completely random discriminatory punishment of players in the name of testing.

 

And there's no compensation. Slow clap.

Way to go WG. I just looked at the devblog beta and saw that you've allready nerft the new us. bb:s  since they weren't bad enough from beginning. Then FDR. you offering that to one tenth of the playerbase yet we must face the CV in random. I thought that FDR and Florida would come together in an admiral pack but no. I don't know for how long you gonna push that reserch bureu. you can't force the players on the stuff in there . I guess that Paulo Emilio will be next years problem. I'm waiting for next doubble bonus to get Siegfried. And those new achievments, you can stick them somewhere. if you cant add the resetting that we have done since the beginning of RB. But I can prommise I will never buy an unique upgrade in there they are not worth that prizetag and I just have a few left with the combat mission. Just a wonder, what are we going to do with all the coal. I have almost 700 000 and no ships for coal in the armory to buy.

When we pass New year I will have steel to buy Stalingrad or bourgogne but do I dare to do that or will they become coalships some time in the future as you said last time.

Don't yell too loud woith the coal we all know how it ended up when Smolensk was avadible for coal and when there is a certain japanese cruiser still in testing and we just got a steel and Rp ship i wonder where that ends up ...

I was about to bring this up myself
Its fairly easily overlooked in the article as well.

I would not be impressed if I were one of the "test group"

Nice to see that the change where damage to your turrets does direct HP damage to the ship is coming this patch.

They will never offer Kitakami for coal. if the see would be full of torps Myguess is that she will be the next reserchship I think most players prefers Slava and Siegfried before Kitakami so it won't be a Smolensk syndrome

Unfortunately, I can't give you feedback on this. It would result in a perma forum ban.

 

As someone that got his hands on every available German cv container (and I really mean every, e.g. 2*3 from CC bonus codes, 2 for PTS,...) for exactly zero damn carriers, I have a feeling how this is gonna end.

And don't make this about greed. It is about justice.

Yes, let's put some random (or not, who can really say?) players at a disadvantage for no apparent reason other than to see how much [edited] people will put up with and continue to pay you.

 

From a scientific and sociological standpoint certainly somewhat interesting. From a marketing POV... are you bloody serious? It is free stuff people are a) used to getting that b) does not cost you anything as there is no real world cost involved.

You do not need to wait and see how people will react, as that really is basic psychology/sociology. Just pick up any introduction to the topic. Resentment towards those who keep them from that little bit of positive reinforcement as well as towards those not affected by the same arbitrariness. In case you haven't noticed - even the announcement evokes discontent unproportional to the actual impact of the measure.

 

Between this, the early concepts of the research bureau and other decisions... please hand the people responsible some literature on reactions and group dynamics in the face of percieved and actual unfair treatment, will you? It might save yourselves and the community a bunch of headaches in the future.

So quick question being somewhat new to the whole earning steel concept, is that 11'000 per battle won (that goes into the clan) or just from the season? Cause I have no idea.

I don't want to be rude, but I like to inspire people to think for themselves. What does your gut tell you? Can you earn a Shikishima with 3 easy wins in CB?

 

Spoiler

11k is for winning 30 matches in the highest league. Here is a rough idea how it is split:

Sometimes it is better to ask the question, than make an incorrect assumption.

For a nation that has produced some of the most gifted scientific minds in history, we now know that NONE of them was, is or ever will be employed by WG.

 

Just to give you a quick example - Flamu ran a poll on CVs:

68% of respondents rated their effect on game as very bad, further 15% a slightly bad.

So to translate it for devs since they seem to be quite incapable of adding two-digit numbers - that's 83% of people want sky cancer removed altogether.

Cue the music...

... FDR

Put them together with subs in separate game mode

What was the number of respondants and more importantly what percentage of the player base do they make up? Also "slightly bad" doesn't equal wanting CV's completely removed from the game and in regard to the 68% you are probably looking at some wanting a rebalance rather than complete removal.

 

Basically you've added 2 and 2 together and got 5.

Alas I missed this.  

 

 

WG.........  oh WG    :Smile_facepalm:

 

You dont see these people kicking off on the forums or all over social media?

You had the foresight to mention this coming change in your log and yet not mention any compensation for those affected?  I hope that mention of compensation was an accidental omission. 

 

Please ensure that you compensate those affected for their troubles further down the line when you have got the data you need, if this route is unavoidable. 

You should know how many games etc that they have played when you are gathering the data you require

You dont need to shower those affected with riches. 

Please ensure that when you have finished getting what data you need after using your playerbase as guineapigs that those affected at the very minimum, come out of the ordeal whole and receive what they would otherwise have received; try to treat them like their peers.

I feel sorry for you guys, but as explained, the popularity of macOS was really low and it had a negative impact on the game development. It was really difficult decision, but it has to be done sooner or later.

We will cease the support with Update 0.10.0, which will be early next year. That is why we are announcing this now, to give you some time to possibly prepare for that.

You have few options how to probably solve it. More info in this article: https://eu.wargaming.net/support/en/products/wows/article/15628/
