[WG] Makoniel WG Staff 2,824 posts 14,007 battles Report post #4 Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Yep, my bets are on a 50€ bundle. With 10 recon spot planes (she cannot use) and 13000 golds to buy... herm... Something in the game later, and a few flags. 50€ seems fair for a tier 4 premium, isn't it?

Tirpitz was on the Eu server first.. with this being a Russian ship it is purely there first because of that reason. It is a great ship though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tirpitz was on the Eu server first.. with this being a Russian ship it is purely there first because of that reason. It is a great ship though. Maybe, but why was the Mikasa offered here first, and will not be offered to RU server because it is so bad according to Devs "Mikasa turned out to be so bad that it won't be sold on RU at all"?

44smok Players 4,367 posts 16,858 battles Report post #13 Posted October 23, 2015 Would be nice of they throw in an option to buy it for all the doubloons we got from previous bundles. Would be nicer if there was another premium US ship coming instead soviets and Japanese. A retraining alternative to Atlanta is more needed than an alternative to Murmansk no matter how good the BB is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe it will be just 11 EUR for the ship, but WG EU has to keep up standards so it will probably include an "extra" charge of 29 EUR for the port slot...

Why the need to separate sales like this? Who cares where it was first / last / etc. Why not just the same time everywhere? WG really enjoy creating division between the server groups don't they?

Perrinu Weekend Tester, Players, In AlfaTesters 104 posts 3,921 battles Report post #17 Posted October 23, 2015 I was actually hoping that the first Russian premium Battleship would be HMS Royal Sovereign or Arkhangelsk. Which would play like Warspite with less speed and slightly better armour. Secondary batteries and AA might be either be the same or Russian like (aka better for balanced because dat slow speed). Reason hoped was because I am that desperate to get something even vaguely Royal Navy related right now. The story of her time in Russian might be fun to write up in the (dead) historical section. I hope this ship gets added to the tech tree as a premium and not as a bundle because like others. I don't want or need the premium time. I've got enough as it is.

Russians asked the same questions during the Tirpz sale on EU server. I agree with you and I bet many more do... WG shouldn't do this.. it is unfair.

You have had the chance to buy the Mikasa, so the fact it is not being released on the RU server whether it is bad or good isn't fair... maybe feel for the Collectors that wanted it anyway even if it was junk ;) The shop should only do the currency exchange rates for the different servers based on the average living conditions and wages.. I feel it is unfair as already mentioned to sell separate deals and bundles and ships for certain regions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Devs say it's too bad to offer to others, but do they do anything to improve it for those that do have it? The EU shop is now offering an Atago bundle, supposedly at 7% discount; which doesn't compute... The whole split server thing should not really apply to things external to the client like the shop - offers should be the same across all regions, however the prices will inevitably be different due to regional taxes, etcetera, but not extortionately so (ie, within exchange rate +/- any tax difference) For example; just the Atago and port slot (not the dodgy bundle) is currently GBP28.76 / EUR39.12 in EU shop, GBP28.43 / USD44.00 in RU shop, GBP31.00 / USD47.86 in NA shop) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LMN118 Players 243 posts Report post #22 Posted October 23, 2015 I believe the Russians get this for around £6.99, I would expect it will be much more in the Europe market. I suspect around about £8 since there will be tax to pay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But what you said about the gift agree. But remember that 44 dollars here in Russia is a lot due to the high bad exchange rate for the Ruble at the moment. I agree that like on the RU and NA server, players in EU should have the option to purchase the ship at the Gold price... not only for bundles.. that was a cash grab option... but since EU is the only server forcing Bundles... are you sure it is Head office doing this and not the Marketing Department in EU?

Yes it will be about that price, in Russia the BB is 682 rubles which with local wages would work out in the EU being about 8-9 pounds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
