Heyo Captains,

While there is still some time before the event, we wanted to give you fair warning that as it stands, there are only 30 tickets remaining for the Saturday (31st) event. If you've been thinking about attending this event make sure you get your tickets ASAP as we fully anticipate these events to sell out. Get your tickets here: Friday / Saturday.

We have also had a slight staffing change to this event; the attending Warships staff will be: @KARMAT1KA, @Gneisenau013, @_irony_ and myself. We will also be joined by NA CC @iChase!

Fem,

Thank You Captains!

Hey Captains,

We want to thank everyone for coming out to the USS Yorktown and braving the humidity and heat of Charleston in July.

We really appreciate you and your families coming out and making the first stop on the Anchors Away Tour on a Carrier! We also want to thank the ship for allowing us to put on the event. We also want to thank our CCs @Angry_Nerd and @ASHLEYakaASHLEY for coming out, as well as our Supertester volunteers @Skraeling, @Hadron_Collide, @Goose21891 and Cloudeye_Fang who helped the staff with various tasks.

Heyo,

I apologize that you do not feel like the process is clear, I have tried to refine this process and be clear on how it works, it is documented as the process proceeds. As another overview:

1 - Initial sign-ups are conducted via the survey which usually stays open for 2-3 days. At the end of the survey it does state if you are selected you will be contacted via forum PM and asks you to check that they are turned on

2 - Survey closes, from the applicants (usually around 4000), I will remove anyone who invalidates themselves; a few things can cause this:

Refusal to use Discord text communications


Refusal to abide by the rules

3 - When I clean out invalid applicants (usually around 1000 get disqualified) I will put the remaining names into a random name picker, and pull out ~350 usernames which form the first wave of invites.

It is not possible to invite everyone,...

Alright Captains!

Thanks for the 2nd round of interest.

Account checks will be completed and invites sent out by EOD today until all accounts are filled.

Fem,

Unfortunately I don't, luckily community members have helped. Unfortunately, Sea_You decided to move onto new opportunities so I'm the stand in for the time being trying to help and engage where I can :D

Fem,

Heyo Yamato,

While we have publicly announced that some things did not go as planned for the rework, ultimately the goals we went into the rework with were mostly met.

As part of the CC Summit we gave a presentation on the CV rework, several CCs have presented media on this, you can check them out here:

@Kelorn and @Vanessaira with Warships Podcast: https://thewarshipspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/episode-137-the-world-is-ending-again-naval-training-center?t=31:08 @Lord_Zath also was kind enough to upload the raw presentation:

Some of the slides for more context and information:

Mistakes were made, yes, but from the data that you can have in fu...

Heyo Captains,

There are limited situations in which a BB can do major damage to you if you are playing while while keeping these following general factors in mind and using them in your game play:

Avoid Broadsiding:

Broadsiding refers to showing the flat side of your ship to another ship.


This gives the enemy easy shots onto the citadel of your ship which can do high damage.


When attacking another ship, you want to keep your ship angled against the enemy to prevent access to this high damage potential area.
While armor values do play a factor in determining the optimal angle for each ship, a good angle to start with is about 30%.

OP mentioned they were taking large damage while being nose in; this is where effective armoring and over match mechanics come into play and is a slightly more advance mechanic.


Keeping slightly angled in thi...

Approximately 4000 people sign up each event, when I do the initial round of selections, I use a random name picker and pick out 300-400 names, which then go through the verification process and invites sent out.

Just because you successfully applied via the survey does not guarantee you a spot in the event as an event account.

This is why I do second chances after the initial invite wave.

Fem,

Remember Captains,

Make sure your forum PMs are turned on as that is how I will be inviting you.

To check it; Go to: https://forum.worldofwarships.com/messenger/ and make sure it does not say disabled.

Fem,

*Head tilt* This couldn't be further from the truth. Our numbers are stable and within our expected range for the time of the year and the life of the product. Furthermore, active users on the forums is a microscopic percentage of the users who actively play the game. This is the case for almost every game.

As I confirmed a few weeks ago when this was previously brought up. It has to do with that particular plug-in and its interaction with the version our forum is currently running on. The forum system was updated a few weeks ago, and so was the plug in. Unfortunately at the time, our forum engineer was on vacation and couldn't begin the work on testing and implementing this update. As of this morning, I saw that this was in fact being worked on (the upgrade to the new version), and hopefully that feature will be restored soon.

I'll be keeping an eye on it and keeping in contact with the forum dev in case the issue persists after the update.

¡Saludos, amigos!
¡Tenemos una sorpresa muy especial para ustedes! Recientemente conocieron a Magui Sunshine en nuestro nuevo canal de YouTube en español, y como un evento especial, ¡va a jugar EN VIVO en nuestro canal de Twitch!

Heyo Captains!

I have released the first wave of commanders; while over 4000 people applied, from the 344 people that were RANDOMLY SELECTED unfortunately I've had less replies than I anticipated from the first wave of selections, from this list:

55 people did not pass account checks.


14 people did not have PMs available.


275 invites sent out

Given this, I am offering a second chance for those active here in the forums to secure an event account; please reply to this thread before Thursday 12 am to be considered within this 2nd chance wave!

(Why am I not pulling more people from this original survey? Since there is very limited turn around time for getting invites and accounts distributed, I need to increase my chance of people on the forums seeing and accepting the invites, if I do not get enough people I will continue to draw from the survey. Accou...

Heyo Captains,

From the article from around the original release of the rework:

Source: https://worldofwarships.com/en/news/game-updates/cv8-how-to-tune/

At the moment we have no information about when the rescinded CVs will make it back into the game but please keep an eye on the dev blog articles for the latest upcoming game information.

Fem,

Not yet;

July 17th, after sign ups close, I have to randomly select people, the we need to verify that they have no (recent/major) account infringements before offering them accounts to play.

This process can take a little time which is why the list is released slightly later.

Heyo Feclez,

I'm very sorry this occurred, I'm going to PM you for some more information on this so we can address it internally.

Fem,

Heyo Captains,

If you haven't caught the Dev Blog announcement this morning, You may be happy to hear that while the Siegfried is not included, we did announce the currency for other other High Tier upcoming ships,

Fem,
