Most likely Monday :) staff have just arrived back in Austin.
It is predominantly a random pick based on who signs up via the survey. If I was picking from the player base at large not everyone would would want to be a participant - that is why we have sign ups!
In regards to discord, voice coms are completely optional. It’s the text channels we use and need our participants to pay attention to.
Fem,
Event waves come and go, this year alone we’ve had the Fly Strike Win event that was CV based and Victory event that was BB based. Of course Rogue wave is optional content in which you do not have to partake in if you are not interested.
In regards to this event in particular; the discord is just for those that are randomly selected to use the event accounts and become the Marauders. We need an instantaneous method of talking to all event account participants at once for coordination and Discord allows the easiest way of doing this. You do not however need voice communications, all information is available on text.
Participants are predominantly selected randomly (CCs/Privateers/STs do have a small amount of priority, also qualified individuals who can act as volunteers also get slight favor), but typically over 250 accounts to the general player base. I put every qualified applicants name into a random picker, and start clicking. The team will then ...

Some events go for all modes, others for one mode, there will be other opportunities to get rewards if you a PvE player. If you haven’t previously, make sure you check out the weekly forum contests found: https://forum.worldofwarships.com/forum/315-contests-and-competitions/

Heyo.
Since this has made no progress, I have decided to lock this thread.
We take player issues very seriously and if there is a technical issue we want to work to resolve it.
If anyone has any further concerns or issues with the Game from a technical standpoint please post them in the Support section for quick attention.
Fem,
Heyo,
I'm taking this interaction as OP having a genuine issue that needs to be investigated. That is why I offered the instructions to OP as to what I need to investigate / explain what's happening. If OP doesn't come back with anything then that closes the case for me, if I get something back then I can provide an answer :)
Lets all calm down and give OP the opportunity to provide further information.
Fem,
Since this continues to be a hot topic here on the forum and I'm not sure if it has been brought up;
As part of the recent CC Summit in St. Petersburg, Russia, Live Producer Sub_Octavian and Balance Lead presented a overview of the CC rework and its impact on the game. This presentation has been released publicly and Flamu (an EU CC) uploaded it to YouTube for everyone's reference:
The video explains several why certain decisions were made and why, with the supporting data.
Fem,
Heyo Captains,
This is definitely not intentional. @Truxtun_35 would you please provide a replay file which showcases what you are experiencing so we can investigate what is going on. There could be a range of situations causing this that are intended gameplay mechanics but we would not be able to tell this without seeing the situation it occurred.
Replays are automatically enabled, to access them go to the directory in which your game is installed and to the reply file, for example mine is located: C:\Games\World_of_Warships_NA\replays
Find the associated replay where you experienced this, and then attach it to your reply (drag and drop should work).
From there we can investigate whats going on and offer a resolution.
Fem,
Who's to say we wont :)?
They aren't released, so there is still time if we decide to announce the means of obtaining them. We have previously announced some of the free exp/coal/steel before.
Fem,
Heyo Captains,
Information on new ships will first be announced on the Dev Blog which can be found in several locations including here on the forums!:
https://forum.worldofwarships.com/forum/303-developers-corner/
It should be noted tho, we typically don't announce ahead of time the exact date of ship releases due to the fact these dates can change last minute for a variety of reasons.
The Siegfried has not made it into live testing at this stage (CCs, STers, CST, and Staff are yet to test the ship on the live saver). That cycle is usually indicative that the ship will likely be released soon.
What about the Siegfried has caught your attention?

Heyo Captain,
As Cruiser_Noshiro mentioned, please complete a WGCheck and submit it through our ticketing system.
One of our Technical Devs will then be able to provide further assistance, for instructions on submitting a ticket please see:
Fem,
Heyo Captains!
As others have mentioned, the How-To spotting video is a great starting point for understanding how the spotting mechanic works. I would like to offer some further illustrated examples of this too!
Lets start simple; here is your Chapayev with its base concealment of 13.2 as found in the concealment panel:
In this scenario; if a ship (such as Enemy #1 is) is within of 13.2 KM of you, you will be detected:
However, if a ship is within your detection range, but has a smaller detection range than yours, you will not detect him but he will see you, such as this example destroyer who has a concealment of 6 KM,. The inverse is also true, if you are inside another ship's detection range, but he is not within yours, he will not see you :
What if a ship is outside your 13.2 KM Detection Range?
Here Enemy #2 is outside our 13.2 KM detection R...

I'm glad to see that you got a lot out of the first day of the Summit.
Looking forward to see your follow up videos!
Fem,
Heyo Captain,
It sounds like you may have a corrupted install that is causing issues. This is not a common or wide issue with the WGC.
Our recommendation would be to attempt a Check and Repair, if the issue persists do a complete refresh and install of the WGC and the game. This should replace the corrupted file and allow the WGC to perform as intended.
IF, on the off chance that this does not resolve the issue, please submit a ticket with an attached WGCheck which will help our technical devs determine the cause of the issue and provide further instructions for resolving the present issues. Instructions can be found:
Fem,
Heyo @umeweall
This seems like a peculiar situation, while its good it has resolved, if it occurs again could you provide a series of screenshots indicating your process and what is happening to see if there something we can see occuring?
It could have been a lag/delay with the server, or a range of other hiccups. If it happens again please let us know :)
Fem,
Heyo Captain,
This sounds like this may be a driver issue, as other have suggested, please ensure your drivers are up to date/updated.
If the issue persists after this, please submit a support ticket with a WGCheck attached, instructions for this can be found:
