PSA: Recent community incidents and our actions

[YabbaCoe]

Hello everyone, 

 

We are awfully sorry that AprilWhiteMouse and other CCs are no longer a part of our Community Contributors Program, and we’d like them to know they will be missed. We respect their decision and want to thank them for their contributions, devotion, and passion for the game and program over several years. We wish all of them best of luck and hope that they will stay in touch with us nevertheless, we will always be here to talk. 

 

We understand that there are several causes that have led us to this situation and that we have upset and disappointed many of our CCs and players. While some of these causes are self-explanatory, and our commitment to fix them remains, there are a few specific points we’d like to comment on: 

 

• We appreciate the community feedback about Missouri being obtainable via Random Bundles exclusively in 0.10.7. We've been discussing this since last week and decided to add an alternative way to purchase the ship. We will provide details on our Devblog soon.
• On the topic of Missouri, we know that there is an open question whether her earnings are on par with the pre-update version, especially considering signal flags and camouflage bonuses. We're carefully analyzing her adjusted earnings following the update, and will share our decision whether any adjustments to the mission are to be made.
• Regardless of AprilWhiteMouse's CC membership status, we will stay true to our commitment to release HMCS Huron in 2022. She’s been added to our production plans and is scheduled to arrive around late Summer 2022.  

 

Best regards, 

WoWS Team

And this statement took you several days? Hello?

[ImperialAdmiral]

This is it???

 

LMAO

[Milda9]

Zero apology. What a surprise... Žabáku bacha na zrcadla, mohl by ses do jednoho náhodou kouknout.

[xReunited]

You needed 2 Days for this? Wow. That's impressive. And tbh we don't care anymore about empty promisses and several excuses, without any actions afterward. We saw how commited you are in fixing self caused problems during the recent months. I'm done with this bs.

[ShuggieHamster]

you needed an extra 24 hours to create that? seriously, what a joke!

And the rest remains unanswered?

 

And I cannot find an apology at all in those words above? Will there be one or is that all we got?

[Captain_Glue_Bottle]

Classic statement from the Politburo.

[PhantomSailor]

I mean..... HOW is this statement different from any of your other ¨incidents¨?
And calling this CC exodus an incident... that's quite the insult. 

[Miscommunication]

Seems to have been a bit of a miscommunication here. How'd it take you several days to write a couple of paragraphs?

With regards to your points:

• An improvement - you will be able to purchase this for dubloons? I don't understand why there's still a "need" to have it in random bundles if you can buy it.
• Yes, it's wrong - LWM demonstrated that. Please fix it.
• You STILL aren't prepared to add the Sackville camo for Yukon? Insane

 

Where's the apology for how you treated April?

Understandable and it is an appropriate statement. Thanks WG for clearing things out.

 

Moving on is always better and most productive o7. Some critics don't know how departmental investigation work and it takes time to make a judgment or analysis.

 

XD

[WGPlsBuffEnterprise]

No real apology. No owning up to any responsibility whatsoever. Its pretty pathetic honestly. 

[0tteN]

what a joke of a statement is this. omegalul well done!

IMO it's good that they took their time (also, weekend). Hastily scribbling together a poor response would only made things worse. Not that this response is in anyway comprehensive enough though.

[Alesandro]

Wtf? Realy?

A simple damage and most efficient control is to make it available for an amount of doubloons just to calm the s&*&^storm.

Instead you are making things more complexed and makes us the clients to hmmmmm...

 

AND I ASK YOU, WARGAMING. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO TRUST YOU AGAIN AND SPEND MY MONEY IN YOUR GAME. MONEY DON'T GROW ON TREES YOU KNOW...

You mean the changes and adjustments you literally already made without even saying a word?

Is this a out of season April fools joke?

 

[Schlangotron]

That is such a lame statement,and that took you 2 days?

This so called statement does not even scratch the surface. It utterly disgusts me that such a large company can't come up with something decent. I wonder why I even expected some sort of decency from them...

You made very clear in the last years that you don't give a flying f*** about the feedback they gave, and a lot of other things too. You only cared about them as long as they gave you reach and new players. Now that the damage is done and they HAD to do this last possible option to show you what you did you start to rethink SOME of your newest horrible missteps. As always, this is just a damage control move and even in this one you fail to be honest. *slow clap*

How is it an "open question" whether signal bonuses can be applied to new Missouri combat bonus mission or not? It was proven that signals do not apply to combat mission, thus earnings are not on par with old Missouri. Please explain this, because this makes no sense whatsoever. The whole point is to stack percentage bonuses. Altering a constant variable does not solve this.

Investigation always take time and jumping to conclusions abrupt is not very healthy.

And now you will understand why i left CC program on friday ^^

[PantherSdkfz171]

Do you guys at Wargaming have no shame at all? How can you even look at yourself in the mirror? No apology and no proper explanation about anything, disgusting is the right word.
