I haven't been super active on wows forums or other related sites, but quick google search just got me some old info from before release, saying gold unite will happen "after release". Anything more recent on this? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheCinC Quality Poster 1,695 posts 9,500 battles Report post #2 Posted January 12, 2016 I think I've seen something a bit more recently, that it was not going to happen. I am no longer counting on it anyway, why else would they call gold in WoW doubloons instead of using the same name everywhere? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrFingers Beta Tester, Players, In AlfaTesters 3,242 posts Report post #3 Posted January 12, 2016 It was scheduled to happen at the launch of the game, but for reasons (as they call it, we call it "gree...reasons"), it didn't. Coincidentally, on Reddit, people are getting upset by it as well. When it will happen: no-one knows. But what everyone can see, is that it has a negative impact on player satisfaction, and the reputation of WG (especially since they still advert with "the unified account"-experience).

ajappat Weekend Tester 477 posts 6,353 battles Report post #4 Posted January 12, 2016 That's the thing, I think WG was pretty clearly promising it. Only reason I bought the preorder bundle, was that even if I don't end up playing a lot, I will have the gold in wot. Haven't spent money after that and will not before unified accounts happen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's fun to wait and play like you don't have to really do it, but you do, because you promised! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some for sure do, but enough to have impact wows (ingame) economy in any way? Wouldn't be so sure about that. Even if, I don't really see what kind of negative impact they would have, since there's absolutely no player to player economy actions ingame. Only possible negative impact, would be to WG's income and even then, I think many people already are just holding back with their money because of this.

[PRT] it3llig3nc3 Beta Tester 668 posts 8,031 battles Report post #8 Posted January 12, 2016 I join the part of the community who demands that the common economy, namely the GOLD and FreeXP sharing to happen as soon as possible. It is a fact that WG advertises this but does not make it happen. From my point of view when inquired about it at Customer Service I was told it will come someday, but they experience technical problems. That answer I know is not true as anybody with basic programming skills can recognize that making it happen is no big issue at all - especially that the system works between World of Tanks and World of Warplanes. We can speculate that WG is afraid of revenue loss as WoT has the Clan Wars / Global Map feature that can "generate" no real money purchased gold. However it is only looking at one side of the balance, the bad news. By joining the economies and integrating World of Warships into the Clan Wars feature (i.e. landing battles could be fought on the high seas) would increase the interest in the game that would increase the player community that would increase the accuracy of the MatchMaking and eventually game experience quality and most probably would draw more paying customers to buy prem ships and GOLD or flags, etc... WG does not seem to understand this aspect so they look at the half empty battle and try to squeeze the most out of the current WoWs fans as long as they can... practically they keep collecting the small coins and ignore the high value paper bills... Ultimately what WG misses - in my opinion - is that people in general have a given amount of time in their life balance to spend on entertainment and there is a more or less fixed part of that they willing to spend on Wargaming titles. Therefore unless they can expand the community or convince more part of the community to become a paying customer they will not go anywhere... I'm sure development cost of WoWs was high - after all they worked on it for at least 4 years - but they may be a bit better off with a longer lifespan and a big return on investment, rather than a quick squeeze and let the product die in 2 years - as the player number trend is already VERY BAD (dropping week by week) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My main choice would be converting WOT Elite unit XP to FreeXP that can be used in WoWs. I stacked up significant amount of XP on Elite WOT units in anticipation of a kick start in WoWs that is now wasted. Why. What is the only thing you can not buy for money in the Wargaming games? Answer is. BASE XP. You have to play to earn it, so it means BASE XP is your "payout" for your TIME invested. Normally this is good for both you and WG. You develop your units, WG gets your playtime that results in populated servers so others can enjoy the playing too. The problem is WG made me believe that the FreeXP will be interchangeable between their PC titles --> as it was advertised and still is. It seems that they misinformed the community. So my stacked up WOT XP (approx 570,000) is wasted, DESPITE the fact that I have invested my time and 2000+ battles to earn it. I feel cheated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The amount of bundles in WOWs and the lack of in game content has ment many of us have built up a large amount of Gold in ships but nothing to spend it on. More Gold in WOWS will not rely make much difference to the game as there is very little in game to spend it on. Its also annoying to those that maybe have 6 or 7K gold in each game could spend it on a High tier prem in ships or tanks if they were combined. As Dubloon/gold cost exactly the same amount in terms of real money there realy is no reason for WG not to combine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I Fancy some more Dinnger Teammatches I think free XP cant be combined as the XP rewards in ships tend to be higher than tanks. So using Ships to farm free xp for tanks could become a problem. Also I find the need to use free XP in ships is a lot lower than it is in tanks. In most cases a stock Ship is still more than capable of performing when bottom tier when a tank can in WOT will struggle and or use gold when bottom tier in order to perform. Point of case i have 17.5k games in tanks i have 186k free CP 2162 games in Ships I have 146K free XP Just seems easer to stack up free XP in ships and still perform Ok Edited January 22, 2016 by T0byJug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doesn't affect this economy in any way (though the usual idiots would claim the sky is falling). It's just I'm close to the end of my FreeXP requiremnt in WoT as I'm closing on Tier Xs for the US lines and I'd like to do something with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However the Project R seems to make it worth getting the ships out of the dock a bit. May also endure tonking during daytime hours but WoWs is primary game atm. Project R is worth it for the easy rewards initially for flags and stuff and Toby & I will be happy to div with you to achieve them. And having pimped out ships & captains at low tiers is a tad unfair but will make it easy for you to get the rewards (wins/frags, XP etc).
