[albin322]

goodbye hightier gameplay you are now truly fucked! 

 

https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/game-updates/update-0912-new-year/

first they say this 

Starting from Update 0.10.1, the following ships will no longer be available to obtain: IX Georgia, IX Alaska, VIII Massachusetts, X Thunderer, and X Småland. Georgia, Alaska, and Massachusetts will also no longer be available to purchase in the Premium Shop.

The ships have been taken out of the game due to a combination of their popularity and combat efficiency. In order to maintain the proper level of diversity in teams in terms of the ships they are made up of, these ships will no longer be available to obtain for an indefinite period of time, but may return in future.

 

then this ...................

 

 

As a New Year's gift, we've added four single-use coupons that grant 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% discounts when obtaining ships in exchange for doubloons. The coupons will become available on December 25 and remain active until January 8.

The following ships will be available in the Armory in exchange for doubloons:

• VIII Siliwangi — for 10,300 doubloons.
• IX Z-44, IX Georgia, IX Pommern, IX Alaska, IX Ägir, IX Azuma, and IX Friesland — for 19,300 doubloons.

Should be used to it by now. 

I just wonder when Kutuzov and Belfast be back in store since WG has already reliesed things far worse than those two.

[Cirno9999]

probably they were to popular to play, you see a lot of thunderers and georgias lately so they try to put an end to them, doesnt really help. but wg is wg - stupid decisions one after another

[Captain_Singleton]

c'mon cut them a bit of slack, they need to recoup the money they gave back in christmas containers 

that, or they just want to push the super cruisers before they nerf them with the new skill rework...

The usual lies and excuses. "We made OP ships, and when the playerbase had their share of being bullied by them, we remove them and make them available by money or rigged gambling."

What are you on about.....  Maybe best to read the patch notes properly.. The ships are being added to be available with Dubloons in patch 0.9.12

 

and on patch 0.10.1

The ships will not be available by ANY means..  with Georgia, Massachusetts and Alaska being removed from the Prem shop as well as from the in game currency that they are available for at the moment.

 

Georgia/Alaska and Massachusetts are available in the Prem Shop for cash at the moment but not available in in the armoury for in game dubloons

[koliber_1984]

But hey, it's just another way of distribution for those ships before removing some of them, isn't it? Whales prepare

I wonder how they think they could counter "overpopulation" without an actual reduction of the population. It's not that those ships will decay after a year in port, as none of them is Russian.

Well it kinda makes sense i guess.

You can buy those ships with a discount now. If you buy them directly for money, you wont. Now you can buy doubloons and use a coupon to get it cheaper. 15k dubs is 50€, T9 premiums are sold for 63€ or something like that.

So i think they just hope to get more people to buy them, before the removal.

The option to get them for doubloons is being added in 0.9.12. They become completely unavailable to obtain in 0.10.1. In the interim you will be able to obtain them for doubloons as well as currencies they have been available for until now. This shouldn't be complicated, it's all explained if you read it carefully.

It's also the Japanese for "Angry Spider". You pays your money, you takes your choice...

[Karasu_Hidesuke]

Translation: 'popular' means WeeGee is losing sales as people are using too much in game currency instead of cash or doubloons on less 'popular' ships that are not available for any in game currency.

I would rather translate it into "the ratio of griefers vs. victims is beginning to break even, so we need to prevent griefers from becoming the majority and being forced to eat their own poison"...

An interesting point of view.
