Miessa3 Beta Tester 1,650 posts 8,204 battles Report post #2 Posted January 13, 2018 It depends on the playerbase i guess. Asia server just doesn't have enough players so they aren't as afraid to get bombarded by restoration requests like in the EU i guess. Just don't ever sell Premiumships if there is a slight chance you want to keep it. Problem solved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EU is the harshest regarding such stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Credits and a port slot are handy if you're starting out, don't want to buy doubloons until you're sure you want to continue playing and you're sure you'll never want to play that tier 2 ship you got with an invite code. Or the ship you sold gets buffed and you realise it's now quite strong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How was I supposed to know ARP missions would give me more slots than I could ever fill in my lifetime? Not that I explicitly want to restore her right now because I wouldn't play her anyway, but still, perhaps they should implement it so that you can rebuy a premium ship you previously owned for a higher credit price.

Yeah, when did Tirpitz receive a nerf? All I can think of what they did to her was buffing the secondary gun range... And why would you sell a Warspite and two (which means you sold one before you got the other?) Gallants? If you had kept the first Gallant, wouldn't have received the amount of dubloons instead? Not to mention that it is handy to keep such ships just for missions like we currently have. You know, the "Make so and so many torpedoe hits with RN ships" ones.

Credits are easily earned - imo not a valid reason to sell a Premium ship. And about the port slots, you can even get them in containers. And as a ftp-game is prone to changes, it's usually a good reason to keep things like Premium ships. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed, but regardless, there are no reasons as to why you shouldn't be able to rebuy premium ships you have previously owned with cash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True - if you sell something you should pay something to get it back again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This has been available in WoT for at least the last couple of patches. Any special or reward premium tank can be recovered at any time for the credits you received + 10% IIRC. It doesn't go back beyond (I think) patch 0.9.15 so you'd still be scunnered if you wanted to recover a tank you sold a couple of years ago but at least the option is there now.

Would like to see your face when by some black magic you get a super container that has a ship inside and its Warspite. Keeping it would eliminate that 0.0000006 chance.

I understand that you're frustrated we won't restore these, but the entire point of our ship restoration policy is to let you recover a ship you accidentally sold. You consciously took a decision to sell a ship in game knowing that once it is sold you have to re-purchase it. There is always a chance that we will implement a similar automatic recovery system like World of Tanks has it, but that takes development time that we would prefer to spend on more interesting features. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing is stopping you from buying it again? .. and still .. wtf? You sold a T8 Premium ship? T2/T3s or Anime ships I could maybe understand a little .. but T6+ Premium ships??? And what good are 27 free port slots anyway? I have 12 and I still think it's too much - if you're lucky you can even get free port slots in normal containers (got 1 last week).
