I simply cant believe that after so many WG fails in WOT they r gonna keep failing here... Try to hire 5 monkeys in your marketing department and i bet that after one month everybody is going to be happy... Cause monkeys learn... You obviously do not. OR! Its some kind of messed up experiment...

Erm...

 

You should check your homepage:

http://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/premshop/special-wows-release/

 

Its not like the Adress of event itself is called: "special-wows-release"

 

You also write: "Hey, you - yes, you! There’s a party aboard this ship to celebrate the glorious launch of World of Warships and you are invited. You and everybody else!"

 

I mean... realy?

Guys, I'm going to give you a hint : look at what's NEVER on sale : 1 month premium time. That's the most profitable item.

 

Any promotion on premium time below 1 month is worthless and a waste of money.

Everything above is pure conjecture on your part. You don't know if you're going to be able to play for an entire year.

 

Line up the promotions that interest you with the cost of 1 month of premium, ie 2500 gold. Anything that's more advantageous without you making conjecture on the next 3 months, and you can take it. I can guarantee you that you won't find any deal with those conditions.

WG's bundles are utter crap, making you pay 3 useless things at the price of one good deal.

 

You're better off buying gold separately and getting what you want in-game with gold.

The price difference is due to the premium shop rounding. :hiding:

 

I'm sorry, but I don't quite see how rounding could have caused this... it's not as if 9.77€ was a very round number....

Are you guys surprised about this after WOT and World of Warplanes fail? WOW!

 

This is a free to milk game, that what free to play means for developers like these, milk the players with special "promotions" and special "items". They are maybe 3 or 5 games on the market that are actually free to play, where you can buy some aesthetic stuff, and minor improvements, like larger stash see Path of Exile, the rest are cash grabs from the start.

 

The picture was on the wall all the time.

 

1) Premium Accounts - that was the start (fine way to make profit)

2) Hey lets milk more - premium vehicles  (if did once or twice per year could be good)

3) Lets milk even more - gold ammo, xp transfer, camos (hehe..)

4) Lets milk this crap out for real - "special promotions", monthly overpowered or useless premium vehicles, or overpriced bundles. ( yeah :B $$$$)

 

Best launch ever? No, that was Mechwarrior Online and Heroes and Generals, both good examples on what these games will turn into.

Just to calm everyone down: This package is not intended to be a super special release package.

 

The only reason it is marked as special is the fact that it is time limited and the premium shop displays this automatically. It is put up as a starter kit with the most purchased items for a new player.

 

The price difference is due to the premium shop rounding. :hiding:

 

So are you Mr. Mann aka Carrol? ....the Premium Shop keeper???

I could make better deals in my sleep than that.....no creativity whatsoever i'm afraid.......:hiding:

No Green Rosetta here Mr. Conway.....Take a Big Tip from Joe....i did

So there will be a super special release package a little later, that's what you're saying, right?

 

If not then you have kinda failed with this so-called "launch" thing.

Well, this is just the "special-wows-release", so there is at least the possibility for the "super-special-wows-release"

I see a lot of people are angry about this. But to be honest you don't need these packs to play the game, right? 

So why the hate? Don't look in the store and play some WoWs!

 

The difference in price of the bundle and if you buy 2500 doubloons is not that great to be angry about it.

They are angry because they like to be angry about something.

True, but you can't buy most of the premium ships for gold, for example (which is next [edited]).

You are a bit late to the party.

 

And I dont think he lied, I think he truly believed his statement to be true.

 

It seems like the WG marketing department is not even talking with its community staff, thus resulting in even worse support.

 

 

But again, I dont think the Community staff is to blame for the crap that happened during the last months.

Is this suppose to be some sort of Joke ?

 

Mr conway this is totally out of order!

 

 

Why the [edited]are you now making crap up ?

 

Is there anyone at WG that knows what is going on ?

 

 

If you a some sort of unpaid volenteer then i suppose you could be forgiven....

 

But, if this is your actual job you need to be fired!

 

Its bad enough getting crap, but we don't have to buy it....

 

But to then LIE to customers who are actually questioning the logic is awful!

 

 

I have actually met double glazing salesmen with more class than this!

Well yes, i apparently was a bit too late, i didn't saw that mainpage announcement.

 

Ectar admitted once that community guys know what the marketing does (in one of the big Tirpitz release threads).

I don`t think he lied. He is not telling the truth, or all of it neither.

 

At this point he is in full PR mode, which is despicable, in my humble opinion. He is partially right in what he says about launch and how there isn`t any need or request for specials anyway - it would have been nice, but, ultimately, he is right in that regard, at least. It WOULD have gone a long way to give something nice, but it`s WG we`re talking about here - vultures, not businessmen.

 

Oh well, I bouight what I wanted and no more until 2016 so the world can burn for all I care.

New player bought this.

 

Not happy.

 

Very dodgy doing this in the EU.

Certainly not worth the risk, more likely someone messed up the exchange rate and needs to sort it out.
