[2019] PSA: A Message from Sub_Octavian regarding PR

Hello commanders,

Following yesterday’s global release of the update, we wanted to say a few words about our New Year activities. We know that some of you are upset and don’t like the Puerto Rico event.

In hindsight, it is clear that our communication about this event was not great and as a result we created an expectation that the ship was going to be more accessible to the general player base – we own that. Only hardcore players with a fair number of special signals and camouflages can be expected to obtain Puerto Rico entirely for free.

Of course, this affects many of you. Please accept our sincerest apologies: we failed to communicate the degree of dedication required and as a result, for some of you, ruined the Christmas spirit of this event.

This is a very ‘grindy’ event and only a small number of players will likely get Puerto Rico for free. We know this; there is no denying the fact that this part of our NY update is centered around highly active captains. This is the reason why this New Year we decided to offer not one, but two premium ships to cater to players with different degrees of dedication: Puerto Rico and Gorizia. But again, we failed to make it clear from the start, which raised people's expectations.

Puerto Rico directives aside, we still believe that this event offers fun and opportunities for players of all stripes to collect many different bonuses and items: a tier VII premium ship, four researchable tier VI ships, Premium time, Coal, Steel and Santa's Gift containers for Snowflakes, Directives, Shipyard stages and Daily Shipments as well as Clan Brawls and Ranked Sprint rewards.

We have seen that some of you made calculations for this Puerto Rico event to better understand and assess its requirements. We really appreciate your efforts to help the wider community. But due to some rounded numbers in our client they are not entirely accurate, so we want to share our own calculations on how to get Puerto Rico:

If you decide to get Puerto Rico for free, you should follow the following guidelines:

The first directive should be completed before building commences;


Directives 2 – 5 should be completed within 3 days of the directive’s opening;


The sixth directive should be completed within four days of the directive’s opening;


The final directive should be completed at the latest 24 hours before the overall event ends;


You must finish 20 Daily Missions and collect all rewards from Daily Shipments;


And spend your tokens as soon as possible.

If you are planning to buy one premium booster:

The first directive should be completed before building commences;


Directives 2 – 4 should be completed within 3 days of the directive’s opening;


Directive 5 should be completed within 6 days of the directive’s opening;


You should finish the first 15 Daily Missions and collect all rewards from Daily Shipments;


And spend your tokens as soon as possible.

If you are planning to buy two premium boosters:

The first directive should be completed within 5 days after the directive’s start;


Directives 2 - 3 should be completed within 6 days of finishing the previous one;


The fourth directive should be completed within 12 days of finishing the previous one;


You should finish the first 13 Daily Missions and collect all rewards from Daily Shipments;


And spend your tokens as soon as possible.

If you are planning to buy three premium boosters:

The first directive should be completed within 7 days after the directive’s start;


The second directive should be completed within 7 days of finishing the previous one;


The third directive should be completed within 14 days of finishing the previous one;


You should collect all rewards from Daily Shipments;


You don’t need tokens from Daily Missions at all (they will only give you an additional boost);


And spend your tokens as soon as possible.

You can find a table with numbers on all 4 scenarios here: shorturl.at/jwLPZ. We hope that this helps clarify things and that you will still have a lot of fun during our Christmas event.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to chime in on this thread for a moment and ask everyone to remain civil.

We understand what everyone is saying here, and, while the reaction to this is not what we hoped for, it is what it is.

Sharing your feedback, and opinions are completely fine, and despite feeling, appreciated.

That said, please do not attack other people for their opinion, attack, berate, or defame any other users, WG staff, players, contributors, or otherwise.

Keep it civil.

Thanks!

Please don't confuse me asking people to remain civil with me asking people not to share their opinions on the event.

I cannot say anything more than has already been said on this event, but I do need people to remain civil, and not shame, attack, or flame someone from their view, opinion, or otherwise.

I understand where you're coming from WanderingGhost. I am not speaking to the subject, or the opinions. People have the right to feel how they feel, I am not asking anyone to not feel how they do, that is not at all part of my reason behind posting.

I am asking people NOT to attack other people, be rude, or be uncivil in your response. You can have your opinion, your feelings, your thoughts, your position on this topic. I encourage it, please tell us how you feel about it.

But don't do it at the expense of someone else.

Thanks for the response, Doombeagle. I understand people are upset, but people can be upset, and still be civil about it. I am not telling people to stop sharing their thoughts or feelings, but I am telling people that attacking individuals is not something that I am okay with.

These forums are designed as a place for players to communicate, and share their views, it is not a place people should fear coming to because they may get attacked for their opinion.

No one is editing any feedback or opinions, we are simply removing attacks against other players, WG staff, excessive language, etc.

Please feel free to review the current forum guidelines regarding this topic.
