Update 12.4: European Destroyers

[The_EURL_Guy]

Brand-new ships in Early Access; the return of Convoy; repeated battle entry with the same ship; and much more!

AP shells for the new destroyers when? That is really all that concerns me about this new patch. I am generally interested in the new DDs (at least up to t8, since real ships till there), but without AP, they are missing so much in utility.

[bigdoguk]

Nerfing the wrong things 500 free xp if you have a ship that drops is terrible. 

[ColonelPete]

A collection of bad ideas:

• weaker Supercontainers
• DD without AP, since too challenging for the playerbase
• DD with smoke AND Radar, as if the skill gap in the game was not already big enough

This seems to be normal now as with last two battle passes, I shall give it a miss this time around.

Utterly pointless line since you *STILL* haven't listened and reinstated their access to AP.

Tokachi was, while challenging to play, worth it, as were, arguably, the RB points. But yeah, while grinding out the 3rd line with the Colorado was a right pain in the behind, I do not see why I should invest doubloons into a techtree ship.

As regards the other developments:

When asked about my opinion in a survey after playing PTS, I pointed out that immediate rejoining of battles with a ship that was "in battle" rewarded bad gameplay, Obviously, this was ignored.

I also pointed out that the new results messages covered important content (like container buttons) because they were too large. Obviously, this was ignored.

The fact that you can no longer get 5000 doubloons from SCs is sad, although I never was this lucky (I know of two guys that got 5000 doubloons), as is the reduced drop rate for premium ships.

I fail to see the appeal of the CLR ships, just as I fail to see the appeal of any shape of camouflage, be it permanent or consumable.

The two game balance changes are minor, as I hardly play CVs.

2 positives: I would not mind a Popeye captain and I find the new coal prices for the FXP ships fair.

Anybody who intends to buy the Hayate for FXP before she is withdrawn for FXP and becomes available for coal either needs their head examined or a VERY good reason to do so. I will probably buy the Azuma for FXP, since I have enough of that lying around and keep the Hayate for later, if at all.

GAME BALANCE CHANGES

*some meaningless t6 CV detection shenanigans

*One commander skill buffed

Wow, the game is in such perfect condition, billion new things added and this is the whole balance fixing section, just amazing and I mean A M A Z I N G effort by Wargaming to make sure we players are treated as well as possible. Also all the devblogs, such a bright future awaits us with the upcoming content additions, and Wargaming already perfectly balances them before their introduction to live server, just look how they nailed the Soviet Submarines changes, exactly 10% improvement in overall effectiveness and you better bet it won't be single percent less. I can already see player numbers soaring up high across all servers, like they did with release of first submarines in the game!

 

On unrelated note, I wonder how the new bots AI looks like in action, not gonna lie I see a very, very bright future for this addition as well...

Me.

With a couple million FXP, it does not hurt and is still cheaper than Research Bureau.

And me, although it was *long* before they announced the change to her being for coal :P

new early access ships 
european destroyers will this be a new tech tree or am I seeing this wrong  

 

then the next the end reward is the split t8 which is in the tech tree and you can get it for free or am I wrong? 
no end reward but a normal techtree ship 

[DisasterOfAll]

Updated the game (12.4) when I try to play now, during login i get an error. It says your client is an older version then the server version.

Anybody else faced this problem ?

Can't play now...

• Try repair
• Wait for patchday
• and if that does not work for you and you have to play the game, reinstall

ok, ty.

[lovelacebeer]

Well I’m glad to see convoy return at least. 

 

Still rather uninteresting battle pass final reward, yet again just an early access tech tree ship.

[Marblehead_1]

European destroyers - cool, getting Grom for free is even more fun,

Convoy - ok, probably will play,

Battle Pass - seems weak,

Re-entering the battle with the same ship - I sense a power increase in game toxicity and pathology, if I don't like the draw I do 3*W and immediately have a new chance (I hope I'm wrong),

Improved messages - well, that's what we needed, normally until my panties fell off,

 

Gato - neither cools nor warms me, camo looks strange and I don't recognize it. Still, it's still not Harder's meme camo. Silent Hunter IV has the best Gato, as do quite a few other submarines from other countries thanks to mods. By the way, it's a pity thats Gato and not, for example, Hoe  Because I think Whale could be only for dolans/rubloons?

Popeye - nice,

Rework of super containers into sihtconteers - what a crap.

[buccaneer_invader]

Still no sIgn of HMS COLOSSUL. 

 

When was Hms Alliance up fpr sale never seen her either.

 

 

Am I MISSING SOME UPDATES????.

Tech tree free XP ships only for coal??? Shame you didnt tell us before the exchange event was over, thumbs down. I ve been saving it ffro Azumo and now my 700k FE is basically useless, could have at least use it to buy the Tashkent thing with it. Give me a break really...

They said months ago for they will moving the last free xp ships to armory in 12.4 and changing the cost from free xp to coal, only the coal value wasnt know exactly, but i waited worst number for hayate, 238k is not much (waited +260k)
