See:

More details will be in the Patch notes closer to release.

I can't share those details just yet.

Fem,

Yes :)

Many many many weeks go into all 3D modeling.

Interesting topic we have here; here's my 2¢

Win rate, is very easy to influence by a variety of means:

Playing strong ships


Playing in divisions


Seal clubbing

A high win rate does not always equate to high skill from a player perspective. If you want to get better in the game focus on correcting areas you are going wrong in.

Getting dev struck often? Go look into angling and timing your turns.


Dying often? Check out your positioning and see if you're overextending.


Not doing meaningful damage? Look into the Damage saturation, armor modeling, and ballistics videos.

By improving the way you play, you will see your winrate shift upwards, while having more impact and enjoyment in game.

There is many resources available to help you in terms of improving your gameplay if you want to spend the time to get be...

Except, that is not the case. We have known of the player interest for the RM CA line for a long time, however we were held up in their production due to legal blockers. We had to wait until we were able to source the blueprints and have the legal clearance to use them. These things take time. From this point, once getting approval it takes 3-7 months to model the entire line before it goes to balancing.

Please also consider that there are different teams working on different elements of game development and production. Due to this, many functions and areas of content can be developed concurrently.

Fem,

We have spent plenty of time with these ships in testing with our various community programs to work and tweak their balance ahead of their release. We are confident we will be releasing them in a comfortable position were they will interact well with the other ships already in the game. It is never our intention to release ships that are not balanced as that only creates unrest within the community - something we do try to avoid.

Regarding "paper" ships, they do hold merit in terms of naval history. We have to consider the natural progression for ships and sometimes these designs make better fits for tech tree progression than others available. That doesn't mean that other ships and designs won't make it into the game in the future.

Crusiers are in a very healthy position at the moment within the game meta and balance. Yes, they do have the ability to get dev. struck, however this can easily be mitigated by proper positioning, timing movem...

You may have missed it, but we have a new selection of Camos coming out this year like we have had in previous years:

New Permanent Camos:

More information on how these will be available will come in articles closer to the release of the patch.

This article was more intended to educate players on how operations will be available for this halloween season.

Unfortunately no, permanent camos are tied to the ships they belong on.

Fem,

I believe we still have intentions for additional testing cycles in which more invitations will go out to players.

While I can understand where you are coming from, it does clearly indicate that invitations will go out in waves in the original sign up article:

Our intention is to offer invitations to all players that applied by the time that beta testing is completed.

Unfortunately we cannot simply offer every player an invitation at the beginning as it would almost guaranteed crash the server, meaning no one would be able to test.

Fem,

We've already presented the new branch of the British tech tree and its features, and today we want to share the parameters of these ships and of the cruiser London.

Moderators do not set out to hide threads or posts. They only do so as a last resort if a thread has gotten so off track or in breach of the rules. On a daily basis maybe 5 threads get shut down, from which maybe 1 is hidden.

As yes, there is opportunity; you PM the community team (myself atm) and we assess it, if moderation action needs to be undone, we undo it. Typically tho, we offer the thread a chance to get back on track before moderating it.

Players are welcome to free speech, however with this being a privately owned forum, we have the right to ensure our rules are being upheld. As I motioned in my previous reply, several threads on the same topic are still alive and well because they do conform to the rules.

Ultimately, I'm sorry you disagree with our processes, but the moderation guidelines help keep the community safe and toxicity low, and as a whole we are pleased with how that is working c...

Heyo,

I reviewed what I assumed the thread you're referring to was. It was deemed non-constructive and thus closed and locked.

We have absolutely no issue with players criticizing elements of the game, we do ask though that it is constructive in nature. As such, there are several active and unlocked threads on the very same topics of matchmaking; here's my list for the week on the topic:

If you don't like something, say why, explain how you would make it better. Going the route of that thread which was designed to incite unrest, is just not the way to go.

As someone who spends majority of their day compiling community feedback and concerns, I want to hear yours - I just need it to be constructive.

On the topic of rules, please be aware that discussing moderation issues in threads is not allowed, if you or anyone has issues with moderation actions, please drop me a DM and I will follow up with you.
...

Woah, calm down :P

Give us some time to analyze the feedback and data from test 2.

We may need to change and adjust some things before going into the third round.

Fem,

You never know what we'll add in next :)

There are several easter eggs in the game if you know where to look

Fem,

Correcto! Premium Containers for your first completion of stars 3/4/5 on the super hard mode.

Be wary tho, super hard is... super hard lol.

Fem,

While there may be weighing in history to support such a mechanic, for gameplay simplicity and balance reasons we have decided to not go down this route.

As you can see from the replies so far on this thread alone, a lot of factors would need to be considered to even get this function close to being viable.

Fem,

Heyo

Unfortunately if you didn't earn enough tokens during the event to purchase the Legendary commander, you will need to use your tokens on another purchase.

Good news is however, we do intend to make the commander available via other means in the armory at a future date.

Fem,

Ahaha! You got me then briefly.

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the recent birthday celebrations and directives.

AS with all content in the game, just remember it is completely optional to engage with.

You are always welcome to play the game and ships in the ways you want to.

Fem,

Heyo,

5 Containers and 1 Epic drop.

If you receive the 5 containers before the epic drop, you can still gain the epic drop by continuing to watch.

Fem,

Details will be available in the patch notes the day before the patch :)

Fem,

To clear confusion.

Our systems can see hidden stats.

Our systems do not use stats for any determination in game - hidden or not.

Fem,

Heyo!

The game will definitely have content around Halloween.

As others have mentioned a lot of it can be previewed in the PTS sessions in the lead up.

We also released some sneak peaks of the upcoming Halloween content in early September:

Fem,
