Campaign starts 4-5 hours later than stated (07.00 hours). 2. Bundles available in the shop 4-5 hours later than promised (07.00 hours). 3. EU bundles more expensive than wherever else. 4. Confusion about the content of the campaign containers available to buy in premium shop. 5. Almost 17.00 hours and sill no news about this weekend special. Do they deserve some spanking. lads?

Skyllon Players 2,588 posts Report post #14 Posted May 20, 2017 I think the problem iwth the EU side is that they have to do 7 languages. And that takes time. Although I don't really care if event starts 2 or 5 hours later (it spans over 3 weeks...), you cannot put blame on difficulty with translation... Firstly it is not done by 1 person (conflicting information in various languages) and secondly, if something takes time - you just start to do it earlier. If anything it is management problem (or as some say: cultural thing...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[UNICS] Nechrom Beta Tester 4,870 posts 10,112 battles Report post #15 Posted May 20, 2017 3. EU bundles more expensive than wherever else. At least we don't have to pay for premium time but instead get more doubloons and some extra consumables. 4350 extra doubloons and 3 x 50 consumables in the biggest bundle. (instead of 30 days of premiums time) 3350 extra doubloons and 3 x 35 consumables in the 2nd biggest bundle. (instead of 7 days of premiums time) I haven't calculated if this is technically worth the extra cost, but at least it's something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could argue the other way round - with England leaving EU there is no need to publish anything in English anymore.

It will make it all the more vexing, when the British service industry looses access to an obvious market and will make their eventual and inevitable relocation to the continent much smoother.

Actually, the consumables and the upgrades you can buy them in game with silver, no one (hopefully not even the weekend windowlickers ) buys them with gold or real money. Premium time you can buy only with gold or real money. Edited May 20, 2017 by 22cm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[WGB] iJoby Community Contributor 2,171 posts 30,925 battles Report post #24 Posted May 20, 2017 I will never understand the logic in how WG EU acts like a newly start-up company having teething problems, WG with it's world beating game WOT, should have experience by now on how to prepare, promote, sell all without any hiccups, but no, everything they do seems to have some problem or another, which is a shame, because WOWS is or was a fantastic game, and run correctly it could be or could have been as big as WOT.

Premium time you can buy only with gold or real money. But with the extra doubloons you could choose to buy the premium time if you wanted and still have doubloons to spare, especially with the 2nd bundle. I likewise don't care about things you can buy with credits, but it's better than nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
