The Ohio is still very much stated as a WIP ship and undergoing balance.

The Colbert recently received nerfs.

We have no interest in developing and releasing OP ships, while ships may be OP/UP during their testing phase, this is why we have a testing phase, so that we can improved their balance and interaction within the game.

I believe these missions will remain in your personal assignments and will not expire / lose no progress.

Please remember, the RB, is a completely OPTIONAL system within the game.

No player will be forced to reset any line if they do no want to.

If the rewards are not of interested to you, if you do not have interest in regrinding lines - you do not have to.

A major concern with the original NTC that offered buffs for regrinding was that it forced players to engage with it in order to keep a level playing field with other players. This new system does not. You will not be at a disadvantage if you decide to not use the system. If the available reward ships are not of interest to you - then no worries. The reward ships, as with all ships in the game, intend to be well balanced upon their release. While yes, a player could push through the RB using FXP/ETC, that does not remove the fact that the system is available to all players, and DOES NOT REQUIRE monetary commitment to receive the rewards.

Heyo.

Please be aware, the staff get tagged in many posts on a daily basis, once in awhile we miss a post when going through them. If you ever feel like we've missed something don't hesitate to DM us and prompt us for a reply if we've heavily missed something.

Many of your previously tagged individuals do not reside on the NA forums in an interaction capacity.

Onto the meat and potatoes of your ask:

For majority of your data points: none of this information has been provided for other seasons, and while Season 12 was the first to experience rentals, there is no ground to provide it for this season. While the inclusion of rentals for ranked was a controversial decision, I can confirm from the data sets that the season experienced similar numbers, interaction as previous seasons, and met...

No, all research is undone and those ship upgrades are sold and un-researched.

Special upgrades and regular upgrades are demounted and placed in the inventory. Researchable ship modules are sold at 50.

The first season will last 3 months.

The benefit of a season is the first line reset will receive a 2x bonus to obtainable research points (up to 20,000 instead of 10,000)

There is no limit on how many lines you can reset within a season.

The marks will stay on the ships for you to knock off at your leisure, it does not have to be completed within the season.

You can reset as many lines as you like at once.

We will continue to develop ships for all other currency types.

As we have in the recent past, if a ship is being retired from being available, we will give you ample notice on this.

(Trying to get to as many questions as possible, please humor me)...

I'm a little curious how you came to this conclusion, nothing within this system has a monetized aspect.

It revolves around giving motivation and purpose to players who have reached content cap to continue experiencing the game, by OFFERING again, not forcing them to enjoy the lines of tech tree ships again, with a valuable reward at the end.

Fem,

Ships when being sold back have always been returned at half price. Upgrade modules will be sold at half their purchase price too.

The original idea saw outcry about the rewards/benefits that would come it (that is buff to ships). This has been completely removed for the new Research Bureau.

Your research points will remain between seasons and not expire.

Phraseology issue, fixing :)

The TL:DR is meant to provide the bare bone instructions and explanations to make the information less confronting but provide the bare necessities on upcoming info.

But yes the 10,000 kick off for the first reset is still there.

I've updated the link :)

Research Bureau Too Long? Didn't Read?
The TL:DR series aims to give you all the info you need in a fraction of the time!

What?

A system in which you can reset fully researched ship lines, with the purpose of re-playing and re-researching them to gain Research Points to gain additional rewards such as ships, free exp, and signals.

Why?

Many late game players have progressed through all or majority of the available ship lines, this systems gives an established player reason to re-engage with lower tier content of their favorite lines while earning rewards.

When?

The Research Bureau will be introduced to the game in update 0.8.7.0 in August 2019

How does it work?

The Research Bureau is available to players who have reached Tier X on 5 separate lines.


When a player has reached their fifth Tier X, they will see an option to restart ...

ST, ranked sprints, sound and visual improvements, new camouflages

Ranked Sprint:

There will be 2 ranked sprints in the 0.8.8 update. The 8th sprint will feature battles between tier VII ships in the 6 vs 6 format, and the 9th sprint will have teams of 7 ships at tier VIII.

Sound and Visual Improvements:

We continue to improve sound and graphics of the game:

The sound system was updated: the mechanism for sounds of guns and engines was improved;


Ocean, Big Race, North, Fault Line, Polar and Islands maps and the Philippines port were updated for the new lighting model. They also feature the changed sky due to improved technology;


Towns are added on the Crash Zone Alpha.

New Camouflages:

Bismarck, Cossack and Ark Royal had something in common: one of the most famous cats of WWII "served" on them - Unsinkable Sam. Each of these ships...

ST, California & Marceau

American battleship California, tier VII

California takes the role of an American battleship with a large number of low-caliber guns. Due to the citadel under the waterline and large torpedo bulges, the ships boasts good survivability. The ship is similar to New Mexico and inherits the drawback of American low-tier battleships - low speed.

Hit points – 58300. Plating - 25 mm.

Main battery - 4x3 356 mm. Firing range - 17.0 km. Maximum HE shell damage – 5000. Chance to cause fire – 30%. HE initial velocity - 861 m/s. Maximum AP shell damage - 10500. AP initial velocity - 823 m/s. Reload time - 30.0 s. 180 degree turn time - 60.0 s. Maximum dispersion - 230 м. Sigma – 1.70.

Secondary Armament: 8x2 127.0 mm, range - 5.0 km. Maximum HE shell damage – 1800. Chance to cause fire – 5%. HE initial velocity - 792 m/s
AA defense: 41x2 20.0 mm, 8x2 127.0 mm, 14x4 40....

How do you know this definitively?

There will definitely be some changes to how the game will be played, but we believe there will be a place for them.

Again, I would encourage you to wait until there is more information released about their game-play etc before racing to hasty, uninformed conclusions.

Fem,

At this stage, to be included and undergo final balance in a special mode on live server.

We have not announced whether eventually they will make it into Randoms, but neither ruled it out.

It is too soon to say on that.

Fem,

Heyo Captains,

Thanks for the great and constructive discussion so far.

While I can definitely understand the concern coming in from how the CV rework was introduced and worked through, we are hoping that the issues that came with this will not be repeated.

That is why we are introducing submarines initially into ONLY a special mode so there is ample room to balance and tweak them as needed, while protecting Random/Clans/Ranked/Etc from major live balancing (which was a major mistake we admit from the CV Rework).

I would encourage you all to keep an open mind and an open eye on the Dev Blog over the next little while as we bring more details about how this class will fit into the World of Warships.

You may also want to keep an eye on some upcoming streams too!

Fem,

25th is the last day for Public Visits.

Since this is an event, it falls outside "Public" - we have checked and confirmed and the event is going ahead on October 26th before her move.

Fem,
