I don't know how you say "no" in Dutch, so... No.

With the plethora of permutations of his account name, you might just looked up the wrong reroll.

really? Who was he before? :cap_popcorn:

 

 

On topic: no, not intentionally. I'll gladly take all reward I get when playing the game normally (I do plan on doing the missions for the commander if they're reasonable), but I won't go out of my way for dockyard shiet, and I'll definitely not give WG any money.

Dunno yet; I'll probably call it when I actually see the mission details etc.

 

Because there aren't any T8 Operations any more, I probably won't get a huge amount of use from the thing, although another healing T8 cruiser would be nice to have for when I *have* to play that sort of ship for missions etc. although I do have things like Atago, Tone, and Eugen which are all probably better ships as far as I can tell (and two are nerf-resistant, which the new premiums aren't). Plus, there's always snowflakes...

 

So, I could be described as not brimming with enthusiasm, but if I'm going to play enough to get close enough to venture a few doubloons, maybe.

 

The thing I'm mindful of is that - to judge from the latest early access thing - WG are rather in a period of seeing what they can get away with before people's spending drops, so I'm expecting much of the upcoming dockyard event to be a bit lacklustre on the rewards front...

I will get the cheaper starter pack as it for once was a real ship, 2 it is cheap for a T8 Cruiser, and lastly despite it having squishy armour it is a bloody pain to hit with that speed boost.

Unique mechanics being crap guns, crap pen, crap damage etc all for the unique crap airdrop? :Smile_veryhappy:

I am not sure about that in De Zeven since she is a CL and not a Supercruiser that is the Dutch Line starting at T8.

 

She does have crappy armor, really crappy armor but I am unsure about the guns that are 4x2 152mm with 16.1 km range, 7 seconds reload,  144m dispersion and 2.0 sigma that compared with Chappy guns arent that far off (more range, similar dispersion, 50m/s slow and minus 50/300 HE/AP damage), what pisses me off is that she got stuck with a shitty destroyer speed booster that as far I am concerned, its useless and her superheal got nerfed into a regular heal with no other utility consumables, not even defensive fire and quite frankly, unless that was a 6 seconds reload there is no reason to have such lack of utility, the guns arent bad but arent amazing either.

 

And yes, apparently is because of her shitty airdrop but you know, anything with planes make certain people lose their God damn minds over it ...

I don't know, really. I love the modern design and historic nature of the ship, but I'm not sure if I can deal with something as squishy as an Albemarle any more. That Airstrike will have to be a flight of B-52s to make it a must-have.

Because planes are so fkn boring and badly implemented in this looter. It's pathetic. I love planes and areal combat. Hate anything WG published in that regard. These :etc_swear: cant model areal combat if it hit them in the face ^^

...was the basic question, so I answer that:

Nope.

Didn't give a flying eff about the dockyard events before and don't give one about this one.

Guess I looked with me arse. Fkn weird, it didn't show any the first two times I checked. Well, I stand corrected on that point :Smile_smile:

Maybe a typo when putting the name in? Like missing a 1 and ending up with gwynbliedd1 instead shill11?

Easy answer - no

Complicated answer - well, if I get a feeling of wanting more frustration in my life I might play a few games and I might make some progress, but no dubloons will be used so in reality I wont be getting the ship anyway.

@MementoMori_6030, @Europizza, @Bellegar and @Prophecy82:

 

"The Witcher" Computer game:

Main Character: Geralt of Rivia. "Because of his pale skin and white hair, he is also known in the Elder Speech as "Gwynbleidd" (close to the Welsh translation "Blaidd Gwyn"), the White Wolf."

So having so many (or better: numbered?) Gwynbleidds in this game only means there's a shipload of players with either limited ability to think of an original accountname or with the deep-inside wish to be as heroic/powerful/insert whatever make that (fictious) hero (from a different computer game, a novel, a movie whatever...) your hero, leading to a shipload of (insert really important figure from nerd universe here and add a number to distinguish you from all the other nerds) populating the game.

Nope, my 9 minor accounts have totally different names. I don't suffer from dementia, I can memorize a lot of names. :Smile_smile:

Ah. I see.

Sorry that I Agincourt'ed your alter ego's Emerald yesterday, by the way. My team was sh*t, so we lost nevertheless. :Smile_honoring:

The dutch ships are not very strong right now. If the dockyard ship plays like the rest of them right now, then no, i will not paricipate in the event.

I'll pick the small starter pack and do the missions. For me the starter pack will be a real freebie due to lucky SC drops with dubs and some dubs from ranked.

 

I don't care if the ship is good, I want it due to the fact it's a real ship that served under the Dutch flag.

I know. I like the Witcher. 

 

This makes Gwynblyat the "White Biatsch", right?

Probably not? What's the sell on it? Does it get radar or smth?

It gets speed boost, heal, and 3 flights of bombers.
