Trying to sell it to us are you? Do supertesters ever say anything bad about anything WG related or is it a requirement to promote all things WG related as part of the 'job'? :P

 

It is a horrible ship, fires marshmallows for shells and its armour is more fragile than balsa wood. Only I am allowed to buy it :P

I hope it does take continously flooding damage with that forecastle (which was only shortly considered because: ) which would only worsen the extreme list of the bow ...

 

so yeah:

- extrem pos design, worthy successor of Borodino Class ("for the ocean bottom of the far east" :trollface:)

- never finished

- "career" of rusting for over a decade

 

 

bet its "fun" to play and op - its russian and it gets new german pos-cruisers to feed upon. :trollface:

Add loads of stuff most dont want and over charge for it.

 

Loved being apart of alpha with this game... beta new faces great times.... paid to play started to see cracks but still loving the game.

 

Now the game is released and WGing EU to me are doing there up most to make me not want to play. 

 

Keep adding "special" prem ships at stupid prices with lots of stuff i dont want, and more to the point in game gold is worthless nothing to spend it on other than free xp... but apart from a few upgrades i try to play a ship from start to next tier (is that not what the game is about!) Look at the latest insult tier 4 over 20 quid... no thanks WGing you can keep it... they seem to have a set lowest level of price they set for there special stuff and pile on loads of crud to get it to that.

 

The funnest thing all i wanted most from the game was a good special on port slots but thus far nothing.   I find my self playing this game less and less. As WGing are not holding my attention unless i spend lots of money of stuff i dont want. :(

This was my first Alpha/Beta experience and I remember a friend who told me "games are more fun when in Apha/Beta. After that is all downhill". He was right. Luckily for him he's allways been able to quickly go from one game to another but in my case, I get attached to a single one for a long time.

 

Damm, I envy my friend.

"We have been listening to you"

 

Add russian bias to the mix and ST aproved and we've got the full "take it from the as* EU" bundle.  No surprise no one on the EU staff coment on this since they can't do anything to stop WG greedy practices.

 

I fear the day Tone is released cause then I'm gonna have a mental breakdown.

New ships are never available outside a package, not in EU shop anyway. If you just want the ship for 11 euro ( same as other tier IV BB ) you will have to wait :(

 

Just to make sure you don't misunderstand, I'm waiting for the ship only deal as well :honoring:

Frigging really... just few days after Ectar said that not all ships would be in bundles. Yet he it is, another frigging crushing bundle.

Oh, and the server things:

EU sever - 128 PLN

RU server - 48 PLN

(PLN is polish złoty, i don't even want to calculate it to euro now)

EDIT: Mtm - how long? You could wait for all eternity, as we had nothing beside the bundles. Literally no proof or hope that anything will be ingame or merely not in bundle. NOTHING YET, despite game being out for months already. It's not funny anymore, never was, but now it's just insulting.

Jethro_Grey, are we now allowed to break out the pitchforkes and torches?

 

Just asking you know.

I still remember that day when Ishizuchi was released... with no bundle, I wonder if flags not being in the game had anything to do with it.

I wanted to Buy this Ship,and now this ...

You can buy it In the Russian Premium Shop for  11 euros,

Why do we Have to pay 30 Euro for something which is Going to get into Tier VI Battles and will suffer Greatly from Aircraft Carriers it only has Marginally Good Armour and Marginally Good Guns into return

The Price is not Justified i will ask the Russian Forums if i am Lucky some Moderator will care and atleast answer me cause i really wanted it but not For 30 Bucks.

Imperator Nicolai I is auto buy guys, but not for 30 euro. It's got nice pew pew's, and has a sloped inner belt protecting the citadel which is located pretty low in the ship ( gamesmodel3d has the ship, you can compare it with let's say Arkansas Beta ). And it's Russian, Russian stronk look at unsinkable RU DD's :hiding:

 

If you need doubloons btw, the package is not a bad bang for buck but if you like me just want the ship and a port slot...

^^ I do need doubloons to help skip the Izumo......makes the ship about £6 or so. Which kind of makes some sense to me.|

 

Random justification alert!

I don't think you're the only one seeing the connection there. 

 

WG's EU store history has always shown that introductions are done with bundles, and only later you will be able to buy the ships from the shop separately or even in game with gold through the tech tree. 

 

Does it make me feel we're being milked, yes it does. Does it make business sense, as long as the packages are sold enough, yes it does. Will it change, I think it depends on how community reacts to the bundles, if people buy them in high enough quantities no matter the complaints from others there is no incentive for WG to change the policy.

Whilst I agree as the consumer we should get the option to buy alone or in a bundle if you do need the Doubloons then it isn't badly priced. At around £6 or so for the ship.

 

Now I do need the Doubloons to skip the Izumo :trollface:

Dug this up on the Russian site:

 

https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fforum%2Eworldofwarships%2Eru%2Findex%2Ephp%3Fshowtopic%3D33134%26view%3Dfindpost%26p%3D1410030

 

Looks like they are selling it there with a port slot for 682 rubles, in real money this is around £6.99 or so. 

 

Fair enough that the Russians get a discount due to the crappy state of their economy, and fair enough that the EU have to pay for that discount.

 

But WHY ON EARTH do WG see the RU market as their most important then???? If the EU are paying for the Russians we should have a much bigger say!!!!

The Imperator Nicolai package isn't bad bang for buck IF you can use the doubloons. In the other thread it was calculated to be worth 6 euro after you deduct the doubloons, and the Isuzichu costs 11 euro for the ship and a port slot. 

 

I don't need the doubloons, I promised myself I wouldn't buy any package which forces doubloons on me, but I do want the ship.. badly :teethhappy:
