Attention Captains!

I regret to inform you that we made the decision last night to cancel AAT stops at USS New Jersey and USS Turner Joy. I just want to say that this has been a very tough decision to make for the whole NA team, as we have grown to love working on these events and being able to meet you all face-to-face. For a lot of us, these player gatherings are the best parts of the job! However, due to the tighter restrictions that have been put in place across the country we wanted to air on the side of caution to keep you all safe, as well as our staff members.

We apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused, and we hope to be able to come to some kind of resolution to reschedule these events once the current situation has settled down.

All refunds have been issued as of last night for the canceled events. Thank you for understanding, and stay safe out there!

*checks to see if Easter Egg from London has been mentioned yet*

We have made the tough decision to postpone our Anchors Away tour stop at the USS North Carolina to a later date. The COVID-19 outbreak continues to spread, and with the guidance of local, state, and world health authorities this decision was made to reduce the risk for our community, as well as for our staff. Refunds for both days of this Anchors Away stop have been issued out. We'll update everyone on the new date for this event at a later time.

We apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused, and hope that you will understand given the current circumstances.

I have always been told that it was ctrl + prt sc but I just tested the prt sc, and that works too! I've updated the post accordingly.

(Thanks for making me realize I've been pressing extra buttons this whole time.)

Hmm.. I would reset the default file opener once again just to make sure you're linking it right.

Does it show this when you right-click the replay and select "open with" does it show this?

As you may already be familiar, I typically host a weekly #screenshotsaturday contest on our social media pages. In turn, I’ve seen a lot of amazing screenshots that have come in from our players, but also a number of questions about how to capture these types of screenshots. Therefore, I thought it would be a great opportunity to review how to watch your game replays, take screenshots, and use hotkeys for free cams so that you all can get the perfect game capture! Because who knows when you may need to use that epic torpedo soup drop for bragging rights

How to access replays and screenshots?

Replays are automatically saved in your game folder on your computer. You will first have to find the folder on your computer where you’ve saved the game. Once you’ve found this folder you should be able to open it up and find another file labeled “Replays” which automatically saves the last 15 gameplays you’ve played. The will be in the folder labe...

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Is it asking for player names for each ticket or just for the first initial ticket? From my understanding, you should be able to put just your own username in there without having to put names for all the other tickets. If this is not the case, you can just put n/a in the field for all other non-gamers.

The usernames don't actually have any effect on the event, it's just our way of seeing who came out to the events.

Yes, you would have to purchase additional tickets for both days. Each event is held independently from each other. The reason we split into two days was to allow more people to attend since these ships have a strict max capacity limit.

That being said, there won't be any differences between how the event is run, so if you choose to go on both days, you'll just be attending the same event twice but likely with a different crowd of players.

I'm going to hold you to bringing those dank memes. Don't disappoint me now

The event hasn't passed yet unless you are saying that you're unable to make it this time around. If that is the case, unfortunately, we do not have another tour stop scheduled at the Kidd for the remainder of this year, but that's not to say that we won't ever host another event in the future.

Also, at this point, there are less than 10 tickets left.

USS Turner Joy

USS Turner Joy is a Forrest Sherman-class destroyer commissioned in 1959. Most of her career consisted of patrols and goodwill cruises throughout the Pacific. Most notably, Turner Joy fought alongside USS Maddox during the Gulf of Tonkin incident and would serve repeatedly throughout the ensuing Vietnam War. After the war's end, the remainder of Turner Joy's career would be spent in training exercises or in port for upgrades. Her official retirement game in 1982, when she was brought up to Bremerton, Washington to her final retirement home.

Ticket Purchasing Information: Pro-Tip: Last year, both days were sold out the week of the event. Since limited capacity is available, we recommend purchasing tickets as soon as possible to ensure entry and swag.

Tic...

Just giving you guys a heads up!

At this point, there are only 45 tickets left. We are expecting this event to sell out, so if you're planning to attend, we recommend getting your tickets soon. :)

Happy to address this. When it comes to blocking people on our social media channels, I am very hesitant to do so and will only usually block people who are consistently violating what is typically found in our EULA or just those who are being aggressive and habitual trolls. Of course, I can't speak for my counterparts who were managing our social media platforms prior to myself being here, so I will ask, how long have you been blocked?

Join the World of Warships NA staff for the second stop of the 2020 Anchors Away Tour on April 18th

USS New Jersey

USS New Jersey was the most decorated vessel of the Iowa-class and was the only US battleship to fight in the Vietnam War. She was brought to her current berth of Camden, NJ in 2001, where she's enjoyed retirement as a museum ship ever since. On April 18th, we invite you to spend the day among World of Warships staff and CCs on this historical ship. There will be plenty of time to explore the ship, the opportunity to engage in a live feedback session, take part in a scavenger hunt for prizes, and other fun activities all while hanging out with fellow players.

Ticket Purchasing Information: Pro-Tip: Last year tickets sold out a week before the event. Since limited capacity is available, we recommend purchasing tickets as soon as possible to ensure entry and swag.

A swag bag ...

Thank you for sharing this with us! I'm ecstatic to hear that this was all due to our weekly social media screenshot contest. It was designed with intentions for players to admire the game from a perspective that is typically overlooked. In return, we have actually received a lot of really amazing captures from players that even we in the office have laughed at or found impressive, just like this impeccable parking job:

Don't ever feel discouraged from participating! The more people who participate, the longer we can run this weekly initiative

Also if you have any ideas for a topic of the week that you would like to see implemented in one of our future screenshot contest, please don't hesitate to reach out to me :)

Fair winds and following seas!

Thank you, Captains, for joining us this past weekend. We hope you had a blast while having the opportunity to explore some US history. If you took any pictures at the event, please feel free to share them with us here or upload them on Instagram and Twitter with the official hashtag #anchorsawaytour so that we can enjoy them and share them with our other players.

As promised, here are my pictures I took of the event. I hope to see you all soon on the digital seas.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Also, not part of the event but I just couldn't resist posting in case some of you didn't have the opportunity to her at night. The Lexington staff did such an incredible job with her lighting!

Thank you all for coming this past weekend and being such a great crowd. It's always an absolute pleasure meeting and chatting with you all in 3D! :)

I hope you had a great time, and that we'll be seeing you again in the near future. As promised here are some of the photos we took from the event.
