Latest 'Return to the Game' email

[Verblonde]

PSA: if anyone has a dormant alt account kicking around, it looks like WG are making their latest attempt too woo people back:

 

Also:

 

Incidentally, I'm not sure it's working - when I logged into my dormant alt, 'all' I got was a SC mission chain - no T5 ship container. Your mileage may vary.

 

A freebie T9 ship for 15 battles isn't bad - if the mission works for you...

Having Superships in the game, T9 is questionable. Welcome back as bottom tier...

[black_falcon120]

How often do these happen? Iirc it was about this time last year the last one happened?

 

also it’s for 15 wins not battles, so it’s a bit harder…

The amount of time I’ve been farming my T9 premiums for credits, more variety isn’t a bad thing.

Ended a roughly 2 month break this week, never received any e-mail or message in that time. 

 

I'm curious, any idea how long you're supposed to be inactive for you to qualify for anything?  

Or does it not work that way?

It’s 90 days to be counted as inactive usually. These emails go round I think once a year?

Not sure - I've not played a battle on mine for months, although I have logged in to pick up an occasional freebie (without playing)...

[Verblonde]

BTW the email doesn't include any small print, so either WG are deliberately lying, or the setup of the freebies is bugged this time around...

Yes T9 is bottom tier against T11. 

 

But T9-11 is the most balanced battle with different tiers. T8-10 is also fine. I prefer T9 vs T11 before T7 vs T8 every time.

Got this email today, too.

I quit the day before the very first time WG announced subs in randoms.

The premise of the game is fantastic and i've had a lot of fun moments with my clan mates whom i'm still in contact with.

Above all else I can't continue to support a company who do not care about their consumers, let alone everything else that they've done both in the past and in recent times. While it is a moot point coming from me since i've already spent my fair share of money on the game (so WG have already gotten what they wanted from me), no kind of reward is ever going to make me return.

WG would need listen, seriously, to the feedback that they get from community contributors and ST's. They would need to stop releasing snarky codes aimed at their CC's and not hire devs that literally blame the player base for their failings. Unfortunately as we all know the likelihood of this happening is pretty much 0 and much like feedback, this (my) post is just as pointless in the grand scheme of things.

It's at least 3 months and the account has to be inactive as in not logging in at all. If you login but don't play it doesn't count. A bit ago I had a 4-5 months break without playing at all but checked in 2-3 times a week to see if anything is going on in the clan and never received anything by mail or ingame. But what i've noticed is on my NA account. If i don't play there for several weeks and then play a game or two, it is almost guaranteed to get a SC from the daily container and in most cases i got premium time from the SC. I've mentioned this several times in the SC thread, that this happened to me multiple times over the course of the last few years. Same on EU, didn't play for some weeks, first container a SC with premium time. This is a bit too weird to be a coincidence IMO.

Also, if you didn't play for a couple of months you can get invited to their friends program thingy by another player to receive more free stuff.

I skipped 3 moths in the winter after the snowflake event .... but the offer WG gave me to return was way less generous ( 7 days prem + a mission for SC) 

 

Also i dont seem to understand the PR team .. sure they can hand out stuff like in OPs screenshot... but if they actively harm the game with updates hated by almost all the players ( Super ships, Subs), this will not really help, maybe , but maybe just listen to the players .. im no expert but trying it out once couldnt hurt :P

I think this is what I actually got, despite having received the email that I clipped some bits out of for the OP...

Does logging into this forum count?

No, only login through the game client.

Also got the email, downloaded game click the thinghy thing, no 200% exp or rewards, sad I am, Wargaming is making it easy to not return at all, promises where made, but broken.. Whelp

[159Hunter]

I was away for about 9 months iirc, and came back in december last year for a few months (only to leave again because of ... [make a pick]).

I believe I got a 90 days +200% XP bonus, and 14 days of premium.

 

Ideal for some extra grinding, but only worth it if you ca stomach the game?

I saw someone saying the same on Reddit, contact the support first with the email and a proof you finished the needed 15 matches. They should fix this, because there are rules about false advertisment and frauds in every country.

The same.

I'll just pick my daily drop SC in two days. Then I'm off to extended hibernation. Limiting my disappointment in WG to misleading "please come back" -rewards.

T8 is the new golden tier now. The highest tier that is not ruined by "Super-Ships". And hopefully the latter even pull most of the TX ships into their matches. 

 

Then again, it is also ruined by Subs.

[NicramDuel]

Seems it's a bit different for "baby accounts". WG apparently takes into account what fleet you have waiting for you. And you indeed must stay completely offline - not just not entering a battle. Out of my 3 multis, only 1 got such a message. Had 6 battles on it from 2021 or so. This is what I was eligible for:

 

 

 

Hopefully, the T6 will be a Perth - would be perfect to farm Aegis with. :) But no T9... 

 

...Oh, wait, nvm, found it!

 

 

 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

 

Imagine registering freshly into the game, and finding this on your first day. Your team will be so proud of you.

I think that Tier I is now the golden tier, but unfortunately it is not interesting enough to play for me: too many bots.

"come back to the suffering that made you uninstall.

we fixed none of the outmoded mechanics of the game that made you want to escape.

nor have we addressed the pay to win perk system or other power selling and unbalanced nonsense.

but we have added NEW barely functional hacked in nonsense"

 

yea nah. maybe il try again in august/sept time. maybe by that point the wunderwaffen ships will have dragged the tX nonsense far enough away from t6/7 that the mm in those tiers wont be completely borked any more even if there are still major failings in the base mechanics.
