Update 0.10.7: Submarines in Ranked Battles

[Fesvil]

Boy was I disappointed, not because Mo came back, I have her and wish for fellow players to have that pile of smelly poo too, IOWA is better, in every way!. Anyway, that aside. Another steel boat, no free exp boat except the Groeningen which is not a new ship.. But ohh well something to spend the hard earned free exp on.. 

 

Dock yard event might be decent.. 2 CVs pr team in CB, now that's going to be AWESOME... or? 

 

Ranked with subs, sound like a bad sitcom from the 80s. Will try it of course.. 

 

So, quite a bit of meh this upgrade.. Can I reccomend this game to friends? Mehbe..

Bur yeah , I will recommend game to no of my buddies , I tried one last year , and he quit after few games in T6 .

Subs will be a big mistake, but I want to ask about the replace of the Friesland. If I can change her for the Gronigen, what will happen with the Friesland captain? Will be "orange" too, like the ship, or you need a new captain with nederland nationality?

 

Thanks.

 

P.D. Subs are boring. I'll never play them.

Your Friesland commander stays in the Pan European nation. Hence they made the copy/paste copy Gr'oningen for the Dutch tree

[Ruth_clifton]

I  WILL  NOT  PLAY  THEM

[WorstSeaLord]

They said no subs but that was clearly a "communication error"

 

[lmperial_Japanese_Navy]

WTF how long has this stupid mechanic been around ? So you don't need to aim for the hull because the funnel can richochet shells down to the citadel !? This is insanely stupid !!!! No wonder why i got so many citadel even they shot me from the rear !

 

This better be a bug because it needs to be fixed asap !

Spoiler

Ufff. Then, what should I do with my 20 friesland captain when i have captains in all my European ships? Will WG open soon the european cruiser tech?

 

In other sense, the Groningen will be usefull for train nederland cruiser captains. 

 

Dont know what to do, but one thing: I'll never play subs :)

 

Thanks for your answer

[Zanov]

THIS PATCH IS HORRIBLE!!!!

 

-Dockyard:  Tier VIII ship and the packs to make easy the grind are expensive, near 9k and 4k doubloons , the smallest is just 550 doubloons discount.

-Ranked:  With submarines?????

-Cooperative: With submarines?????

-Missouri: you did nothing to your starting announcement, you are deleting all suggestions made about it, you simply closed your eyes and ears, and we are going to meet a simply american tier IX premium ship, when YOU  promoted every year in christmas about the mega-rare ship to sell your crates.

 

Only one thing is good, the reset of commander skills.

Not in this coming patch, they said it on stream.

Maybe next one or they'll just call it a feature from now on.

Question: how many patches to fix a bug which is fundamental to the game?

Question: why could they not just revert to the previous coding which worked - what explains this duration of such an important bug?

Yes ... except it is only fixing a previous disaster caused by WG, and this time deliberately instead of accidentally. Doh! 

[Miscommunication]

Ugh, ignore the fact that you're adding subs - I'm sick of whining about these.

 

Missouri? I was tempted to get this (purely for historical reasons) after you announced you'd be re-adding it, abeit with a lower credit earning rate. However, why the heck have you locked it behind random bundles?

 

Your greed is unending. Honestly me playing this game often feels like an abusive relationship with an irrational, indecisive alcoholic.

The hull number on the Groningen looks like its almost invisible with this alternative camo. Would love to have the choice and also get it with the Friesland type camo, which looks nicer to be honest.

 

Besides, Groningen was promised to be an analogy to Friesland right? So the camo should also be an analogy, just with a different hull number (IMHO)

Exactly my thoughts. My question is why Groeningen camo looks like ship waiting for scrapyard. It's all bumped up, scratches all over the place, rust gushing in many places. On the other hand Friesland look very sleek and clean, how proper Premium should look like. I was so ready to switch Friesland to Groeningen in first second, but I'll not. Camo looks really like half-[edited]job.

 

I have two questions still:

 

1. If user has every T5 ship in the game will he/she get doubloons, credits , resources?  Zero explanation.

 

2. With regard to Constellation. It's so infuriating to play when most of the times only 4 forward guns can fire and you press and mash the LMB and nothing happens. Can we expect at least extension of the +200% exp mission because you released ship with fatal technical flaw and fix arrives a month later?

 

 

And of course no cure for pandemic disease which struck bots in Co-op.

[Wannna]

adding subs on the only last ok mode, I hate you WG, you are just so bad for your game.

 

Cow is almost dead now, stop milking and FU too BTW. You hate your players, you deserve all the hate you will get.

More SC = better chance to get something good , I got few times 1000db , 7,14,30,90 day premium , a ton of those basic signals , but few times I got 100 hydra , some  50 & 25 special signals , and 100 gamescom + 50% credits and other camos I got few times ships from SC , but from Santas gifts including krasny krym and only T5 , but I NEVER got any ship from SC that you have luck to get from daily containers or anniversary SC :( , I started to grind lines to get SC & SG , I literally only play 2 times T10 , there is only few ships of those that i have played for fun ,  Shimakaze , Republique  , I am obsessed to grinding ships to T10 , cause ? ... I am hardcore gamer , every single player game that I play and love I , play 2theMAX , when I played TCM2004 , I literally have updated stats to that game until 2012 ... and wows is ultimate hardcore , finding in game exploits is just too much fun , I have spend only 20 kr (2€) on game , just to buy out Cossac ... that I dont play , game was difficult until I grind free xp to get Musashi , not only I grinded all lines available right now , but I also have made few regrinds ...   would I spend cash on game ? , yes,  before Christmas I have cash reserved on "myself" , but there is all ways something that hold me from doing so , 2019 Puerto Rico event , rigged 2020 santas gifts , 2021 ... seems that will be submarines , I honestly dont think I will play game full time as I do right now , I will become weekend player and I will only cashing anniversary and Christmas goodies , waiting for WG to fail and some other sane company buy WOWS from them.

[FixCVs_Nautical_Metaphor]

The game is a bloody, buggy, unfun mess. None of the bugs are getting fixed, except if they should threaten aircraft carriers.

 

 

Everything is broken, from balance to torps to even replays. None of these many major gamebreaking bugs get fixed, only useless cosmetic BS.

 

 

 

 

None of the recent "reworks" have served to make the game any better. All of them without exception served to make the gaming experience much, much worse.

 

The publisher is a greedy, lying bunch of borderline criminals who have been mentioned in connection with money laundering and illegal gambling, needless to say nobody trusts a single word they breathe any more. The only reason Wartgaming are getting away with this is because there is not a single competitor in sight.

 

The only thing I will do during this patch is reset all my captains. And tell everyone to stay the hell away from this PoS.

With the release of Update 0.10.8,  III Katori will no longer be available for Community Tokens. However, you will still be able to get the ship for Doubloons.

Well that did not take long…can’t believe this was removed due to excessive popularity. ..Or maybe replaced by..

Premium Ship II-IV containers have been added

 

[Crystal_Athena]

Wargaming said in the Developer Bulletin that Missouri would be available to buy with doubloons. Link to that:  https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/general-news/bulletin-0107/

Wargaming have made the scummy move of going back on that and made it so you MIGHT be able to WIN her from gambling. Is wargaming trying to upset people? What a disgusting move by wargaming.

[frosty_thilon]

This is why I hate you as a company, Wargaming. I missed Missouri when she first released, and every Christmas I buy containers hoping to get her. I am from the US, more specifically the state of Missouri. This ship holds a VERY special place in my heart. When I saw you announce you were bringing her back, I literally squealed with joy. Finally, I thought, I'd be able to get her. Even if you sold her for 30,000 Doubloons, even if you nerfed her to the ground, removed her radar and gave her the armor of a Fletcher, I wouldn't care, Missouri was GUARANTEED to be mine, no gambling with boxes, no random bundles, just buy and obtain, and I would finally be able to own the one ship in this game that means more to me than the rest of them combined. Flash forward to today's update article...

 

Congrats Wargaming. Congratulations, really. Your scummy tactics of bait-and-switch know no bounds, and you've really outdone yourself with this one.

 

I'm including screenshots of the article on July 21st, 2021 from the "Missouri Returns" bulletin, and the release from today, just so nobody can say I'm lying.

All i can say is this game is heading in to world of tanks/blitz  territory,  hybrid ships, airstrikes, submarines, gambling on crates that have about 3% chance of dropping a ship.  Don't get me wrong all good with space battles Halloween and the one with the subs in it as they are all separate from the main games,  THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE WG NOTICE IS TO STOP SPENDING MONEY

I have to say, this is probably the straw that will break my back, imperialis6. My premium is up for renewal in 5 days. If they don't change this and return it to what they said it would be previously, that's not getting renewed. I will not spend another dime on this game, not even another cent, and more than likely I'm going to take a hefty break from the game, if not a full retirement. I'm just tired of this crap, I really am. I'm taking this personally because they are preying on people just like me with this, people who want this ship because of deeply-rooted emotional reasons. The people who just wanted her for the credit income are already out, because this ship won't have it. The ones that remain, are just like me, so this feels like a personal attack, and I'm not over-exaggerating on that. This is literally a punch in the gut. It makes me physically sick.

[LonesomePolecat]

Regarding Friesland / Groningen swap: what going to happen to the accumulated ship XP on Friesland after the swap??

WG!??

[Ironballs57]

They promised no submarines ever - they lied.  No-one wants them, they will completely distort the game.  By all means make a separate game of it (World of Submarines ?) which offers a lot of scope and possibilities with subs v escorts, convoy ships, some air element etc.  It could make a really good standalone game but NOT mixed in with  with the existing wows game.  So to repeat -  keep subs out of wows, no-one wants them, no-one asked for them.  I have never posted a comment before which I hope illustrates how wrong I think this new ship type is.

[Hugh_Ruka]

Not even Dasha looking good in this patch ... whoever did the video for 0.10.6 should return ...

[S_h_i_v_a]

Submarines with Halland homing torps? And we are supposed to be happy about that?

 

WE NEED SEPARATE GAME MODE FOR SUBS!

 

And remeber: ignore us does not mean listen to us.
