Also, though it may not seem so, we are seeing all of your posts and feedback and taking them into account. Thank you for your continued engagement.

Aloha,

Year's of sarcasm training in the Navy brother LOL!

Honestly, I walked into this position with the understand that NO ONE IS PERFECT, no company is perfect, no video game is perfect, etc etc etc, and ANYONE that says they are or that their product is, well, they are wrong... It's how we learn from our mistakes, error's or whatever, that moves us forward! And the amazing community we have has to also realize this as well. I am not saying that we as a community MUST, but it is something to aim for. Also, just because we do not comment on something immediately or we don't answer a question or put a feature or something that the community wants immediately into the game, does not mean that the thoughts, ideas, concerns or failures aren't noticed or learned from.

I am a firm believer that as a community we can continue to grow and continue to prosper. Though I appreciate the comments and concern for my timing of joining the Wargaming ...

Thanks for the kind words brother!

Though it has been an interesting week, I have been playing World of Warships since the EARLY EARLY days of Alpha testing, have stuck with the game in the good and bad and ugly. And I assure you, this is not that bad. My job as a Community Manager (Much like it was as a Chief Petty Officer) is to be a filter, from the Dev's to you amazing people and from you amazing people to the Dev's. I joined this amazing team to because I wanted to grow the community, make it better, help to pass along the idea's and fixes the players have. We are all human (I know, hard to believe) and never has anyone ever created the PERFECT product. TBH, this has been a great learning experience, better to jump into the weeds and keep on trucking!

Aloha,

Congrats on Benham! She's a fun ship for sure!

Happy Holidays!

Okay, well. As I suspected doing some research, we wanted to release Lutjens, because, well, he was ready and we wanted all of you to have some more options in the armory. So Cheers!

Good Morning,

I just wanted to reply to this post to let you know I've seen it and so I can dig through the weeds and get you an educated answer. Bare with me, I WILL get back to you! Unless @Umbaretz beats me to it.

Folks,

I had that bug as well and we apologize for the inconvenience! Below is a link to the post that has a fix for said issue! It worked for me, if it does not for you, please put a ticket in and state that you attempted the fix.

This is the first instance I have heard of this happening, not to hijack this post, but please restart your client and try again and if it continues put a ticket in so our support folks can take a look!

Fair enough, I have always said, if you want to hide something really well, just put it out in plain sight :)

Shipmate,

Check the photo, I know it's not easy to find, to be honest I missed it the first time!

Folks,

You have 37 days to complete all directive stages of which you are only required to complete 5-6 individual missions per stage. Looking at the numbers in the directives, although difficult, they are doable, especially utilizing signals and camouflages. Half way through the directive stages you are rewarded the Tier VII Premium Gorizia (Upon completion of Directive 3). Everything after that is additional, helps with the PR build, or additional rewards (New Year Containers, Coal, Steel, etc).

Ultimately, Puerto Rico is an optional grind, she may not fit your play style or may not be of interest to you. Being a high value ship at Tier X, the effort needs to be worth the reward. While it will take more dedication and effort, there are means to complete the construction of PR by engaging in the game. The use of doubloons will simply allow the construction of PR expeditiously, or to assist those that may not necessarily have the time to complete all ...

I totally understand your frustration. TRUST ME, I have been there. But also trust that, just because you don't see exactly what you suggest, doesn't mean those suggestions and feedback aren't taken into account. And I sincerely mean that. Those of us that are the Community Managers read (OR TRY TO READ) every single forum post and we take note of trends, that being said, if something is not trending then we typically don't push that to the forefront, but they still are noted. I cannot speak for the past, but i know my goal as Community Manager is to continue to grow World of Warships and the involvement of players like you. But as a reminded that constructive criticism like yours is really good and welcome, you have an actual idea, not just "it's dumb." No apology necessary, just know that we DO see what you post. We just might not always reply.

No worries, I missed that button the first time I looked too LOL
