Summer Sale!

[CruleD]

Another event, another scam!

"Sorry for the miscommunication" for the millionth time, your apologies are worth less than dog crap. There was not a single time in years now where you didn't have a "miscommunication" and the lie about "we will not do it again".

In the ARMORY there are for Summer Sales bundles (Distant Voyages, Super Container, 2 Distant Voyages, premium IX Ship Container).

For the 1st there was a mision. What about the rest three of them (the Summer Sales include more bundles out of that chain in Armory) ? Will there any misions for them or we will have to biy the tokens?

 

You can get 300 tokens doing the wonky summer mission chain, the rest of the 12425 tokens you need to get the T9 premium container you have to buy doubloons to get. As far as I've understood, that means you have to buy 125000 doubloons, which costs, well, in NOK it's 3167.64.

 

Now, you will get more than that in value, I don't have the marcopolo, so that's 19k doubloons "saved" just there.. Then I have all the T7 boats you can get in the T7 premium container, that's 8500 doubloons just there. But I have all the Black Friday ships from the 2018 container, so thats low value. 

 

So, do you get lots of half decent crap? sure, but the amount of money you have to pay to get this (remember, doubloons costs as much with the tokens as without) is just insane and absolutely not worth it unless you have to get 125000 for whatever reason (buy 6 T9 premiums?  or 25 T10 premium camos)... dubs aren't that much worth anymore..

Our translations are based on our EN version, so if a mistake is in there it will spread to all related translations unfortunately :(

Okay; heres an easy fix for you. Give every player 3 of those containers for free, except with a loot table such that they do in fact drop camos.

Permacamos on tier 5, 6, 7 and 8 are useless anyway, and arguably on tier X too, only tier 9 is really valuable

So noone got suspicious about that? Are your translators that far removed from the game, that "Getting a Prem camo per container" isn't suspicious to them?

Afaik translators are quite knowledgeable about the game and well they translate what they receive to be translated. Just imagine how many lines and word they have to translate with all articles we have and also all stuff being added to the game, Armory etc. 

 

EDIT: Well, after the discussion with my colleagues I found out, that there are sometimes some mistakes made by German or Polish translators. So I would like to apologize for my statement. For example, I never had a problem with Czech translators, so my reply was based on that.

Just more lame [edited]excuses. How are these translation errors always for you benefit and never the players'? Convenient don't you think. And when you sell something with "translation error" how is that called?

There's literally 0 reason to trust your over 9000th "translation error" excuse. Even if it was an error, it mean nobody is verifying the translations! So, YOUR fault again!

WG has over 5500 employees in more than 20 offices (official info from WG's website), including several offices in English speaking countries such as USA, UK or Australia.

Is there really not a single native English speaker in any of those offices? Is that what your post mean?

Instead of using any native English speaker (given, obviously, nobody else speaks English in whole WG world), or even any English speaking CC, why do you use some random Leonid for such an important job?

[Fatal_Ramses]

1st week of summer sale is behind us. I cant log in to the game from where I am, but are there any missions to get more summer tokens?

Or was the 300 tokens it?

Those employees have different positions and also different tasks they work on. Also btw we have several games they work on.

We do have dedicated people who are translators and are translating all those stuff to different languages. Also for translators there is a big demand - they have to know perfectly atleast 2 languages and obviously one of those is Russian, as our games are developed in russian speaking countries. So first somebody have to translate that to EN and after that it is being translated to other languages. We also have native English speakers, who are doing the proofread of that translated stuff

So unfortunately changes were made to patchnotes after the version was sent to translators and therefore it wasn't translated.

you made the same mistake in german. so same mistake in multiple languages isn't fraud but still a "misscommunication" or "translation error"? 
i do not feel appreciated as customer, more like "give us as much money as you can before you wake up to our schemes"

This. Having the same "mistake" done in all languages is no longer a mistake. This is outright false advertising. If you had a small business doing this you'd get a fine (at the very least) in no time.

Really...

 

So let me get this straight. ALL your communication is based on what ONE person translates from RU to EN?

 

That's straight up stupid and frankly I really doubt a Product Manager would allow this. And if usually I try not to attribute shady stuff to malice when stupidity can easily explain it, given your history the sensible thing is to assume you just tried AGAIN to scam people.

 

Which you will again in the future, betting on this would not be gambling. I give you 2 months until you again try this.

I know that ofc. My point was that while WG is global company and is present on many different markets, it also has access (and employs) many people with different sets of skills. If there's a frickin cook in those 5500 employees that speaks both Russian and English, WG may use such a person to do a translation once in a while, or offer him a new contract.

I understand that not all of those 5500 people work on WoWs, obviously, but tell me, is it really impossible, or does it even matter, if a random George Keen translates "A container may drop a camo" from one language to another for WoT, WoWs or Pagan? Russian is Russian, English is English. Same English is spoken in all those games.

The point is, as resourcesfull WG is, they hand a crucial translation - from RU to EN - to someone, who doesn't speak English properly? You base your offer to 16 different counties/languages on that!

At first it was said by one "TheWarJaC" that it was "a mistake in the translation", now you say (by your last sentence) that the translation was correct, but the very original text was bad? Is this some kind of miscommunication?

[TheWarJaC]

Captains, there is an important update regarding the refund for the Distant Voyages Containers. The time limit of the 16th of August is now no longer valid. Now, you can ask for a refund for the containers bought until Monday, 9th of August 23:59 UTC without any time limit.
