Folks,

MANY of you are derailing this post. STOP.

If you are chat banned and you don't know why, or you are curious why, put a CS ticket in and ask.

Chat bans don't occur directly after a match necessarily, so it could have been something said in the past that was actioned on as sometimes staff actually surfs chat logs.

The best way to deal with toxicity you see in chat, report them and move on, DO NOT respond. There is no point.

That being said, EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT to play whatever class they want and use the game mechanics as they were intended. This DOES NOT (simply because it is your opinion) mean they are being toxic or harassing anyone.

Continued personal attacks and toxicity towards other community members will NOT be allowed. Cut it out.

Changes in Asymmetric Battle

Commanders!

We have increased the number of battle tokens required to go into the Asymmetric battle on tier VII-VIII ships. Now the required amount of tokens will be 450.
We have also reduced the number of battle tokens you get daily upon first login from 1000 to 800.

This will reduce the excessive efficiency of teams with tier VII-VIII ships, as well as reduce the number of bots in teams with tier V-VI ships

Good luck in battles!

Combat missions, a new Campaign, and victory bonuses await you! Read it on the portal

The thing that many of you do not understand is that we have global implications to think about when we produce content. NOT just regional.

So case in point, the ensign for the JMSDF, yes it is currently being used, but is banned in certain parts of the world, so we chose to not utilize that image. There are mods that add it in, and the individual can chose to load that.

As a Japanese American I can understand those sensitivities and it is in our right to chose to also be sensitive to them. Like certain imagery of other Navy's might be banned in certain parts of the world.

It has NOTHING to do with "cherry picking" it often has legal ramifications so often to avoid this, we chose to do artist renditions.

MANY games do this, though some may not chose to do so. This is what we do.

We continue to give support to the USS Texas foundation and we have more plans in the future, so this is not far from...

Aloha,

Okay, so normally I wouldn't post this, but a funny work chat convo got me thinking.

We're gonna start a meme thread.

This is, however, not without rules!

1: Your meme's MUST have some kind of connection to World of Warships

2: NO personal attacking meme's (there is a difference between humor and attacks)

3: Try to keep the regular conversations to a minimum and work that Meme magic!

4: Certain forum rules will be waved for this as listed below (it's good to be the lord of the forums)

Yes this isn't necessarily on topic, that is okay for this thread

Other than that, I will start, LET'S GO!

Credit for this meme goes to @foodprinter as most meme credits go!

Aloha,

As stated just send a CS ticket in and ask why, they can come back with an explanation. Or if it was incorrectly applied, remove it.

Mahalo,

Yeah, but the problem is, I usually send out the gifts before posting who won, it is just honestly easier for me just give the dubs.

That being said @Ensign_Cthulhu you can still participate, and if you don't want the grand prize I can try to remember this and re-roll like you suggested.

Mahalo,

-Hapa

Also,

That much Tking would result in a shift to Orange status and or game banning automatically.

-Hapa

We are aware of the issue with submitting tickets right now and are working on it to get the system back up.

Just because you can't submit a ticket right now doesn't mean you won't be able to. Just save the replay and submit when the system comes back up.

-Hapa

So, interesting story, when I gift out the grand prize ships, I actually set it up, so if you have the ship, you get the doubloon value.

-Hapa

100% This^^^ Also, I have given away A LOT of free stuff since I started the forum contests in February, just sayin :)

That being said, you do have to play for these often.

I am sorry, but you often have snide remarks, that aren't really related to the OP at all when I clarify things that are being said that aren't true and ARE related to the OP. And I don't particularly appreciate it.

Considering the comments in this thread, yes it was necessary to point out what I did.

Why do I clarify things? Because when I read through an entire thread and see something is not clear, it is needed. I have read every single response in this thread and the OP obviously thinks that you HAVE to things and you HAVE to pay to play this game. Which is 100% NOT correct.

I am not "obfuscating" I am reiterating the truth.

You want me to literally list what is free? Because I could do that but that will be an EXTREMELY long list.

I recently started an alt account on both EU and NA because I had players challenge that you can't do A or B without paying and I am currently up to tier VIII on multiple ...

Thank you so much for the kind words! And, furthermore, thank you so much for the feedback on being able to use the premiums in the future!

I am at the moment copy and pasting this to our team so they can get eyes on this! We have seen the comments in the past asking for lower tier missions etc, so it is great to know that you're enjoying it

Also, thank you for the tag

Okay,

So this topic is wondering a bit much, at the end of the day, you can CHOOSE to spend money or you can CHOOSE to not.

I have been playing since Alpha testing and TBH, there is A LOT of free in game items you can earn especially right now.

Trying to connect a CONCEPT however, like something that is right now just a concept (the new commander skills tree changes) and any kind of cost, seems a bit of a reach, as we haven't even tested this yet however.

At the end of the day, if you don't want to spend the money, don't like what we have to offer, don't spend your money or engage in the content..... Obviously the top end content is not going to have a "nothing for something" connection however, you WILL have to either play or pay (OPTIONAL).

If you do a search case in point for posts on these forums, A LOT of people got Odin, considering you can just play across the couple months the directives are live...
