Then what's the point ? :)

The only destroyers that are permanent additions to the shop are Tier 2 and Tier 3 so ummm ... yeah, I appreciate the thought but ...

The point is that ALL DDs will be cheaper, which means the actual ships you should be focusing on will be cheaper.

Nice! I have the Mahan researched, but not the credits to buy it.

 

Until this weekend it seems :)

WG's shop policy is completely incomprehensible from a business point of view.

 

Yes, I'd like to buy a Blysk, as is available in all of the other server shops except EU. Its not a type 59, or a pre-launch pack ship, or a special event ship, or an OP mistake ship, or anything else that warrants its non-availability. Fine, WG, if you don't want to sell me the Blysk, I'll just go and direct my buyer impulse somewhere else - maybe a nice premium on AW, or a whole top tier game from Steam.

 

WG needs to recognises that people - if they are to commit to investing money in a game - want to have the flexibility and availability of game items so that they can plan and budget for their game. They don't want stop-start availability and weak attempts at shil selling..

Buying regular ships when they are on sale also means that you get less for your lower Tier ship when you sell it in order to free up a port slot. So you're loosing money too unless you actually have a surplus of empty port slots or buy one for 300 gold (price not reduced :D )

If you don't happen to have a ship researched right now then a sale weekend like that isn't really that exciting without premium ships to pick up.

Was looking forward to see if the Blyskawica would be sold again, at best even at a discount.

 

Currently have 70€ sitting on my gaming budget. Would've even bought a bundle if it came with a sizeable amount ESCL and ZH signal flags (plus the usual doubloons) if it didn't exceed 30€ because I would be looking to train up that captain.

 

The other part of the budget is currently reserved to see how the Dunkerque will be priced. But with no Blyskawica for sale, that's a flat 30€ that WG isn't getting. I'm not paying anything for a tier III premium ship and I already have the Tachibana from the GNB event.

Incidentionally, the current 2K Humble Bundle is looking mighty juicy and I suddenly have 30€ free to spend.

If you're playing high tiers, it's actually pretty common to have researched ships well before you have credits to buy them. I have 30mill credits worth of high tier DDs to buy, and I've been there for several months (as I've used the other prior weekend rebates to buy either by nation, or by some other ship type to save credits on these purchases). Also, if you're in those tiers, then you're far less likely to be within xp distances where you can quickly grind it anyways.

 

So to answer your question again, the point is that you can get ships for far less cost in time spent grinding credits.

I'd say Anshan is the one that has been out of the shop for the longest time.

Especially after you could get the Tachibana for essentially free during the still rather recent GNB event. And I'm pretty sure all the collectors and RN fans who needed their British shot already got the Campbeltown anyway.

My question is this....is it good business to sell a product in one region, but not another?? Well let me answer my own question....like F**K it is.

Surely it cannot have anything to do with unbalancing ranked, the NA have it as does many many  EU players already. Seems to me to be a class one clusterf**k!!

Completely illogical, just don't get it. Confused.

Blyska is going to be in the tree permanently but I don't see why ppl want to play a ship with stock commander in ranked.

If you play it outside of ranked you can have a good captain.
