This is, at a MINIMUM, the spending I would make if CHERRY BLOSSOM and HERMES operations are coming back, not counting all signals and nice containers I would buy to ameliorate my collections of signals or other paraphernalia. Not counting too the premium time I would pay, of course.
So, Wargaming, what say you ?

Do you want my money ? I know I am not alone in this case. I know many players waiting for those operations to come back to buy those ships that would be useful there.
Furthermore, I will not buy ANY submarines nor even play them in any way. So don’t expect profit from me in this field.
I will not buy ANY premium Cvs nor even play them in any way. So don’t expect profit from me in this field also.

 

Let’s hope they hear something this time.

I wish they would oblige you and us, but I fear not 

[iFax]

Well, they said "no" a long time back but, we do have "Convoy" mode coming so...

Convoy mode is not PvE operation and furthermore, it will be only temporary. It deserves to be tested, sure, but I will not buy ships for that.

[lovelacebeer]

Sadly I fear they will never come which is such a pity as they were fun.

[Cirno9999]

before new operations or maps come, there will be another cv rework , captain rework , sub rework , another skill rework, hell frozes over and then maybe we get them back /new things

Now at WG headquarters.:

Sasha feedback says that we can make some easy money by selling  lots of t8 ships if we bring operations back.

But those are broken...

That's good, we will withdraw those later because of it.

[BrusilovX]

Don't forget the Dunkirk based operation either.

[Spartan_Renegade]

The way WG is rolling out shiny new unbalanced premiums every month, they're doing nothing but flood high tiers with braindead n**bs who don't even understand the basic functionality of the ships they are up against. 

WG needs to be reminded why mid-tiers are even relevant in the first place - the operations! Cause it surely couldn't be the +2 or -2 tier gap in MM :/

Anyways, they won't be selling many premiums at those tiers if it weren't for Operations or Ranked. 

[Purnylla]

I've never been able to play any of these operations mentioned, but it's quite likely I'd buy a few premium ships to play them. I already purchased several ships to play operations, including Scharnhorst, Atlanta, Ark Royal and Prinz Eitel Friedrich. Would love to be given a chance to enjoy these operations, as they dissapeared before I started actively playing this game. 

[Karasu_Browarszky]

Yes.

 

(If you were asking me, that is. )

 

No.

 

(If you asking WG... or at least there's no indication of any other answer...)

Oh man! Cherry blossom had such a small pool of ships to pick. Adding it back would be great.

The problem is that operations and other PvE modes conflict with the core business concept of F2P games, which is grind to progress or pay to skip the grind, WG simply cannot tolerate a game mode that allows players to skip a substantial part of the grind, or worse still says don't bother grinding at all and just play this.

 

OPs were only ever there to market the game and get new players in, once they did that job they got removed or devalued one way or another and players were directed back to the random grind path (or pay to skip).

So much this. WG hated Operations, they were fun and popular.

What a shame that the gods gave us this great game, and then gave it to a company that so passionately hates its customers.

But playing the ships in OPS is also grinding them.... just not in randoms / ranked / coop ...

 

WG really has to accept, that some players just dont want to play PVP for various reasons. And coop is just boring and unrewarding aka = not a place to grind, but rather a place to test ships / builds etc.

...and that in Operations, you can form a division with a big group of buddies too. There is a social aspect to operations that doesnt exist in Randoms or Coop, which is what makes them so much fun.

This operation was a lot of fun and can even bring money for WG since there are a lot of T VI/VII premium DDs on the market, and the exclusive T VIII premium english DD you could play in it.

Of course I forgot the upcoming USS Congress that would be a LOAD of fun to play in CHERRY BLOSSOM...

[undutchable80]

+1 to more Ops scenarios!

[FooFaFie]

+1 for getting the operations back. And even get more operations.

 

It such a shame we lost them

I am sure it's not a big rework for the operations, they just hate them I guess.

They loooove money. ...Our money.

[NobleRipper]

Honestly, I don't believe Lesta have the right staff to make new Ops anymore. I'd love to see new ones, or even just the missing ones returned, but I can't help thinking it would be worse for Ops as a whole if it was done badly and put potential new Oppers off altogether. Sadly, my expectations of WoWs seem to have fallen as far as 'be careful what you wish for'...

If it's about the grind, how about adding some T10 operations? Some endgame PvE content can fit very nicely in a F2P model :)

[Cippalippus]

Why did they remove it?
