[WG] Commander_Cornflakes WG Staff, WoWs Wiki Team 3,711 posts 15,727 battles Report post #2 Posted April 9, 2018 Roma is currently not available in the premium shop. Premium ships there circulate, so it's normal that there are times you can't buy certain ships. But she will be back, you just need patience Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have April now and we haven't seen any of this circulation since the shop and tech tree was purged of offers. 33 minutes ago, _DeathWing_ said: First get more battles under your belt and experience, get to tier VIII BB and up with normal/credit ships by researching them/grind, then think about buying a premium tier VIII BB. Here's a piece you might not like to hear. Since there is no guarantee that a ship will be available when you want it, buying one when it's in the shop, is better than not buying one and waiting ages to see it on sale. WG's artificial scarcity screws over players who want to get better and spend money when they are ready. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise you won't have a *edited* clue how to play your shiny tier 8's. Also, the short term for battleship is BB, bs is something else entirely. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

High tier gameplay really isn't that difficult compared to low tier. It might be a crash course but a fast learner can cope. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder how would you react to the OP when on your team and does minimal support (due to not fully understanding the game/lacking experience) for winning the game cuz of such dire results in those shiny tier VIII BBs he bought.

So what exactly gives your enjoyment priority over theirs? Besides, it's just as likely (in fact slightly more likely) that an inexperienced player will be on the enemy team and you can farm them. Or there is one on each team and they balance. If they don't care how well they do and enjoy the game anyway, what right does anyone have to tell them what ships to play and how to play them? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he wants to take it good, if he doesn't... good again. It's up to WG to make that choice to force someone to get regular tier before buying premium one or not.

Sorry, but your stats are just proof that starting with high tier ships has no use, as you never learn how to propperly play this way.

But yea, if you want, keep spending money, wont improve your stats, quite the opposite; as premiums are usually the same or weaker compared to equal tier ships.

VC381 Players 2,928 posts 6,549 battles Report post #24 Posted April 11, 2018 This is all assuming that getting great stats is the only reason anyone plays this game. Some people just want to play specific ships, I can completely sympathise with not wanting to grind whole lines and follow the forced progression if the only ships that interest you happen to be high tier. Believe it or not but some people play this game mainly due to the historical connection and playing a specific ship because it's "that ship" is where the fun is, doesn't matter what the tier or gameplay is or how well they do.

Good. So that means you wouldn't mind if your stats drop like 3-5 % if you had this kind of players most of the time on your team (not possible but taking it as e.g.). Good to know that.
