BlueMoon51 Beta Tester 951 posts Report post #6 Posted July 30, 2015 Sometimes I am not the biggest fan of WG and some of the things they do at a corporate level, but the one think I have always been impressed with have been their generosity in regards events and gifts. Given that this is their first(unless I'm mistaken)since OBT started and is most welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orree Beta Tester 145 posts Report post #7 Posted July 30, 2015 17 years is a pretty nice milestone for a game developer, I think. The "special" seems a little sparse, but it's something for nothing, I guess. I really wish they'd start doing some weekend specials the way they do regularly in WoT. I know this is technically Open Beta, but it's not like WoT's Open Beta. It's a soft release, sort of. It would be cool to have some discounts on stuff the way the did even in Closed Beta. I just want some more port slots but don't wanna pay 300 gold for them...heheh. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrFingers Beta Tester, Players, In AlfaTesters 3,242 posts Report post #8 Posted July 30, 2015 I guess it's cummulative, so 1.5x, and a double on the base experience, which turns out in 2.67x... Not too shoddy, but I'd rather see that in specials they give you the opportunity to use your doubler once, on a match you decide. It could perfectly be that you totally get wrecked in the first minutes of the game, and the team wins, so you get 2.67 times virtually nothing, which is... still virtually nothing. anyway, it's better than nothing, and HB!

No, Tuccy wrote it is a straight x2 instead of x1.5 ... the 2.67 is the multiplier in comparison to WoT. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

N00b32 Beta Tester 847 posts Report post #13 Posted July 30, 2015 More XP, just what the doctor ordered for my poor mutsuki.... I still don`t get what's wrong with this ship. Please could someone explain it. Yes, the torps are not op, yes, it has low hp, bad guns and okish torps, but it has great features like: -speed -camo -fear factor (witness how entire enemy battle groups turn in just to avoid you once you are spotted) Yes, I kill more in my Minekaze and prob do more damage. But, the Mutsuki is great for winnig games. Not drawing them. Winning them. Alone. Because your team gets the hunting fever once more. Or the die quick fever. Or the "we don't know what to do, let's drive circles" fever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vanhal Alpha Tester 5,609 posts 5,569 battles Report post #20 Posted July 30, 2015 It is customary that the person celebrating any kind of anniversary gathers his or her friends and throws a party for good measure. And that´s precisely what we decided to do, bearing gifts as well! From this Friday to next Monday, you will be able to reap the benefits of having a X2 modifier on the XP bonus for your first win. So make the first battle count and cheers to us and to you for helping us bring you great experiences, hopefully for many years to come! These offers apply from 31 July at 7:10 until 3 August at 07:00 CEST (UTC+2). 1. I know we shouldn't [edited] and whine about gifts, but in many cultures some gifts that are misplaced, out of meaning, out of context or grossly inadequate are often treated as insults. 2. "These offers" suggest two things at least? 3. WoWs is already being treated as cash grab, with F2P factor somwhat diminished comparing to WoT and WoWp (credits gain, modules and components price, gold value, premium ship prices). This isn't helping, it's basically old Scrooge giving Cratchit his day off in Cristmas... 4. There were much better events in CBT, and those were still way below anything in WoT. WoWp had really good events, offers and promos in OBT. It's like you perhaps don't want to lure new players in this way. Every known online game publisher come often with various schemes for both new and old players. Heck, even YOU do, as the WZ-111 quest in WoT gave me lots of fun (even though i don't like that tank and i earn more credits on Tog ). Not in WoWs though. Is there some particular reason for this? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[DDLS] Naskoni Players 674 posts 1,234 battles Report post #21 Posted July 30, 2015 I am in awe over the "generosity" of that event! I mean if that is the best they could do on WG's anniversary (and they obviously don't give a turd about WG given the size of their bonus) I cannot wait to see what stuff we will get on ordinary weekend events. That is - if we get anything at all. If the trend keeps up we might see a 5% discount on port slots for New Year. If we are lucky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
