I'm really disappointed that you're trying to push somethign through without proper testing and PTS isn't enough, and 

 

I (AND NOT JUST ME) DON'T WANT THE NEW SKILLS!

 

Which are copletely busted for CVs, they nerf cruisers to the ground, Secondary builds are not an option any more really and DDs, i don't even know what to say about it, not to mention the EM nerf for ships with a trevers speed lower than 3.5°/s.

 

Just don't WG.

 

For everyone, i've made my own version of the skills (link), let me know what you think about it: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15JTPjlBI7kXuJAZVRsLZce_hrxkk8qApoyoDlCDbzeM/edit?usp=sharing

[Galaxy011]

I hate this skill rework, it will make so many cruisers really really bad.

Rip secundary build Siegfried too

[Klopirat]

1.200.000 XP to get a 19 point captain to 21 points ...

[VulcanPyroman]

CV rework like mess incoming. Wargaming just doesn't learn. 

And this just sounds very bad for veteran players: money grab and significant grind increase. Taking away our max commanders we worked towards and having to restart that grind.

It's not just Siegfried. I, and others I know have quite a few 'Secondary' build ships. This untested and un asked for change removes this option. I (and many others) like the ability to focus secondary fire on specific targets, without it secondaries become just a gimmick.

[Setterus]

Even i with only 1000 battles don't like that rework. 

I hope it'll not kick my taste out of the game so early :/

[Major_Boobage_]

Come on wg please for once listen to your player base instead of doing your usual head in the sand thing. Also why buff atlanta and not flint? They're the same ship pretty much. 

[CastorTolagi]

Wait a moment:

 

Zitat

When dismissing a Commander, you can convert some of their Commander XP into Elite XP:

• Up to 25% of the Commander XP, at the cost of 10 credits for 1 XP.

And:

Zitat

Commander with 6 skill points: available for 900,000 credits.

 

So doesn't that essentally mean that we can now "buy" 9.250 Elite Commander XP for ~1M Cr.

[S_h_i_v_a]

No one asked for this. So why insisting in something shitty?

[Cheeky_chappie]

Phew, so my Atlanta was saved(range at least, it still loses some AA performance and RoF). Good thing this update comes before the Alaska removal so i can watch some new reviews before buying. If the FP changes kill the large cruisers i guess i will have to spend the 1mil free exp i'm grinding now on whatever replaces the Alaska... or the DAKKA DAKKA Dutch destroyer at tier 9.

[Yamashiro42]

Do the existing special commanders that are currently available in the Armory for 1500 doubloons get their price increased to match the price of random 10point commanders?

[ZeuSueZ1337]

"It will require 1,200,000 XP. Yes, it is a new stage of growth(...)"

- You think?!?

 

If you sail under premium conditions (pun) with all the whistles & bells on, you can crank out perhaps 25k cmd exp/game.

That translates roughly into 50 played (and good!) games. For each commander you want to level from 19 to 21. 

 

"In order to let you comfortably try out different builds during Update 0.10.0:

(...)

The cost of commander retraining will be lowered by 90% — from 500 to 50 doubloons."

- Sure. But almost free is not the same as free.

Say you hold 50 ships (probably not unreasonable) ~ 2500 doubloons.

Even with the 1100 you can grind *sigh* it' still 1400.

 

Looks like its time to join the "WG-bashing" bandwagon......

 

We're. No. Impressed. With. U. Lot.

 

 

[SirAmra]

Guessing the same players who cried for a CV rework are the same that wanted the captain rework?

i.e Noone asked for it.

It looks like you seem to think that veteran players have some bearing on this game, or WG has some interest in making the game for the players. I'm not sure how to let you down gently but they don't, and it's not. 

 

Wargaming have learned. If they make a confusing, high speed, quick turnover, unrealistic game with plenty of power-creep to keep new players spending quite astronomic sums on ships that look really nice - well, then they make a lot of money.

 

They have learned it so well from WOT that, by applying the same formula to WOWS, they will continue to make lots of money.

 

I know it's not what we want them to learn, but then we aren't keeping them in fur lined hats anyway.....

Can anybody tell me (or provide a link where I could look it up) the exact amount of commander XP for the 20^st and 21^st skillpoint level please ?

 

If those 1,2 Mio !! are correct, I think that could be the proverbial drop that makes the barrel overflow for me....... 35 x 1,2 Mio to get all my tier X captains with 19 skillpoints back to elite status..... that's like nullyfying and ridicule all efforts about elite captains made in regard of achieving top level commanders in the past.....

 

Not to speak about commanders that until 0.10.0 were trainined for DDs, but were also suitable to use on cruisers with small caliber main guns  (e.g. Atlanta, Krazny Krim, Flint, etc.) . It's like you are taking away commanders with Elite Status from all players who possess those ships !  Will we get compensated for this *devaluational fraud* by changing the rules in any way or are the 2,9 Mio (for each of those ships concerned!) commander XP required to train completely new commanders for those ships just part of your macchiavellic plan to urge ppl to spend real cash to be able to at least keep the *Status Quo* ???

 

What's next ?   Resetting all accounts, so everybody can start again from scratch and requesting a payment of $249.99 for the first 3 months ?

Fourth paragraph ("How much XP is needed to level up a commander from 19 to 21 skill points?")

[XenoMorphx]

Still no submarines, please Wargaming.

[Murphyum]

610 doubloons to get the 50% off ..... 

HAHAHAHA - I so knew -

 

No!

I don't have to play your game, and you guyz working hard, to convince us to quit.
I already stopped playing WOT because of the wheeled vehicles, and now you try to kill warships too.

[Venatos]

sweeeet! gimme these new skills! cant wait to play around with them to find my new improved and optimiced setup. ;)

Sod that subs will be fine if they work the same way as in Steel Ocean. CVs are far worse. WG logic 'we are making a game about big gun naval warfare, I know lets add the ship class that made big gun naval warfare obsolete'
