Battleship Competition - Tiers V and VII US only?

Anything for EU or we going to miss out once again?

[inAbag]

Of course we won't be getting a contest like this! According to the brilliant minds at WG EU this game is actually in beta therefore it is forbidden to do such fun things as giving discounts or holding fun events!

 

Nah just kidding, WG EU will do the same competition but for CVs instead of BBs 

 

[Maj_Havoc]

The community teams for EU ad NA are separate and they have separate budgets, and while WOT and WOWS may have separate teams (I honestly have no idea), the EU community team have been lacklustre since World of tanks left closed beta and they really dont seem to care. They even managed to miss Victory in Japan day, how the hell can they miss that when there are only two full country trees in the game and both were participants in the pacific theatre.

 

Why do they suck, who knows, internal politics, poor management, no imagination; in the end it really doesn't matter, the EU customer base get the short end of the stick as far as events are concerned.

You do realize that was a rhetorical question, right?

Damn is it September already?. I must live in a different calendar...

VJ day was the 15th of Aug, a formal surrender ceremony was held on 2nd Sept. However, it is the 15th of August that is celebrated as the cessation of war and has been for the last 70 years.

[Ammboz]

I do not care anymore. I am firmly believing they do the same in regards to news. Basically I can get more information if I use shipcomrade and the basic googletranslate service than if I use the EU website.

Only thing that puts me into nerdragemode are events or missed events. Seriously, not knowing if and when something is worse than knowing that nothing will happen.

Again, as has been explained several times, Ectar explained that the EU team consists of 4 staff. 2 Staff left for other jobs, 1 was off sick and that basically left Ectar working alone. He has apologised and explained that new staff should be up and working at the end of the month. Also Gamescom took up lots of time.

 

The man has been working pretty much alone for a month now, give him a break.

How is this our problem? We missed out on the last competition too. EU side of WG should get their house in order as they are looking quite pathetic compared to US and Russian sites. It doesn't help things when EU has twice the number of players that the US do and we are still treated like 2nd class customers.

That's always been the case in every MMO I've played. Doesn't matter if it was WoW or SWToR or what have you. EU has always been treated like the redheaded stepchild no one wants to take responsibility of.

And which competition is that exactly? The competition on another server that wouldn't have been on our server anyway because, well,  it's not on our server?

 

It is the responsibility of the regional teams to organise regional competitions, so a regional competition on the NA server isn't going to be on this server anyway. So complaining you are not having this comp or the last one is nonsense, there is no last comp on this server because one hasn't happened yet!

 

So in actual fact what you should be complaining about is a total lack of any competitions on this server, and that's your right to do so, however as the guy has already explained why this is the case and has apologised for it and furthermore stated that as soon as WGEU (English) "Has got it's house in order" (see what I did there) running a comp will be a priority.

 

2 staff leave and 1 guy gets ill and you think replacements can be found in a week? Couple of days? Getting the sick guy better and hiring new staff would seem to be the way to "get their house in order" (see, I did it again, some one stop me). I'm quite sure if you have any other solutions Ectar will be all ears.

Amusingly if you go read the NA forums they complain about the EU being treated like royalty, while the NA "gets nothing and is treated the worst"

They're funny them 'muricans. Still, every MMO or other game I've played that has different servers NA/EU/Asia and so on, the forums have always had more developers/community managers/MvP's post on the NA boards. So you're always forced to go there to look for information. One particular company stands out *coughBlizzardcough*

There is a thread on the NA forums right now where people are VERY unhappy about not getting the Mikasa, they are already quite unhappy about the Diana and Tachibana codes not working on NA and to top it off apparently Tirpitz is not going to be released for "several weeks" on NA apparently.

 

So, good to be on EU huh?

In other words they are missing on all of the completely useless crap offers while we miss on everything else?

[Pawndemonium]

Care to explain what everything else is for you? If you mean crap contests for spoiled brats I don't know why I'm even posting here.

[DreadArchangel]

To be honest I would welcome this competition, not being a BB driver myself, it might show some bb drivers how they can rack up credits and xp by being aggressive, instead of being a passive player . 

[Hesp]

Well, I will not give my Merkelcoins without any offer.

In your opinion. I was very happy to get Mikasa and will be equally happy when my Diana arrives on Friday.

So you are happy we can buy stuff here and don't like ingame contests?

 

Fine.

 

There are others who would like to have some WoWs ingame contests though, including me.

 

You also fail to see that WG can create ingame contests which will earn them money.....

 

"tier V - VII DD / CA / BB / CV contest - win price xy"

 

Many players who don't have the ships for those contest spend MONEY to get them (premium account to grind faster, convert free ship exp, etc.), same priciple applies to ingame contests in WoT.

Multi-Million-Dollar WG can't afford to pay more than 4 guys for EU community staff or what?

 

Pretty silly.

they did start with 4 people.. now are 2 left and 1 is sick.. so... don´t take on that poor guy who is working his [edited]off..

I blame WG, not the one guy.

 

Should be pretty clear.

[Origin47]

You have to understand that promotions are made, ultimately, so as to make people to spend more money. Since Europe is their top earner, there is no need for as many promotions as on the US server, in this case.

 

Usually, when you see lot's and lot's of promos in one area, it means that that area is not doing/earning as the company wishes it to.

Where exactly did I say I don't like comps? Don't be putting words into my mouth sunshine.

 

I was answering a comment that stated that EU is treated worse the the other servers, I made a point that this is not always the case, I didn't say anything about not liking comps thank you.

 

I fail to see that bla bla bla, what exactly do I fail to see??????? I didn't even mention it. If you want to argue about stuff I've said then fine but don't be making sh&t up.

How hard would it be to simply move the English speaking part of the EU server to the NA one that way it reduces the number of people the Paris has to deal with.
