World of Warships Dev Tracker

Heyo Anij,

We know that in 0.8.8.0 sounds were bad, it was not intentional but caused by a series of bugs with the new sound engine. Majority of issues were resolved with the Hotfix that was specific to the sound engine, details of it can be found:

We furthermore followed up with a PSA on adjusting sounds following on from the engine here:

Instead of unjustifiably calling for staff to lose their jobs, if you are still experiencing sound related bugs, help document them in the appropriate thread so that we can see to making work on getting them resolved.

Fem,

It was mentioned in another topic. The portal had a mistake, the time was incorrect. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Whoops!

That change completely slipped my mind. Amended.

As per the video updates, I'm sure in time they will be updated and addressed if/when major changes occur to mechanics.

Fem,

Heyo Skyfaller and everyone else,

First of all, thank you for the feedback on Sub mechanics so far, I'd like to take the opportunity to address some of your concerns.

Just a quick reminder that Sub mechanics and vital related numbers are WIP and subject to change and adjustment

Regarding the Ping Mechanic:

The ping mechanic is "game-y" because funnily enough, World of Warships is a game. While we do take historical circumstances into consideration during the design and development process, concessions do have to be made to ensure ships and classes are fun to play and have a role within the game. Landing pings while at close range (<5km) is relatively easy, but so is landing shells and torpedoes at similar range, but considerably harder the further the range increases - something even CCs attested to in the recent testing cycle. The "ping" system acts almost as a skill check, something that is considerably more interact...

Yes, during 0.8.9 PTS sessions those are additional missions for Autumn Season. They will be available during Round 2 as well.

Yes, exactly. To receive a container with a T6 Premium Ship you must complete all additional missions during 3 Public Test Updates. 0.8.9 is the first one.

Heyo!

Accidents happen, we've all done it before.

Just reach out to support and they can help you with getting it restored.

I will caution you that these restorations can only be done so many times for a player, please ensure you are being cautious in future when selling ships/etc :)

Fem,

Hey Everyone,

Things seem to be getting a little out of hand in this thread so lets try and stick to the facts and instead of demeaning each other work on helping out OP so they can understand better.

Firstly, as a few of the replies have already linked some great videos that explain some of the mechanics at play; namely these ones in my opinion are a good start:

The main mechanic it seems you are facing is to do with Damage Saturation, that is if you continue to fire at the same location on a ship, you will cease to do significant damage on that space. It is likely your first 2-3 shells performed as intended doing appropriate levels of damage and then your subsequent 3-4 shells were treated under the damage saturation guidelines which saw significantly reduced damage output.

Ships are divided into several sections or compartments, each with their ow...

After looking into problems with sounds we found out that Mods, even when uninstalled can affect sounds in game, so if you're having troubles with sounds even with after using this guide - please try launching the game in "Safe Mode".

Hi, the email should come immediately. Check your junk\spam section, make sure you've inputted the correct email, wait ~5min because sometimes there can be a delay. If everything is correct but there still no email, please DM me and I will try to help.

Nono, I edited the initial post and highlighted the edited string via comment so everyone could see it.

Sorry if I offended you in any way, I really didn't mean to.
Regarding the workweek it's true but I prefer to be caution, so if we plan to give compensation before Friday, I will say before Sunday so that way we have some time if there will be any delay or issue.

1. I wasn't inferring anything about your cognitive functions. It was about not reading the post.

2. Your letters are black, not white.

3. You said "Downloaded" not "Trying to download". So maybe my English is bad but I got it as if you already downloaded the update and the game won't launch.

3.1. Anyway, It's not an error or something since PTS server is not working atm so it can't tell your client what it needs to download and where.

Heyo everyone,

For a little insight onto why there is staggered release of invitations, the server we are using for these tests is not one of our primary servers and is typically used as an internal testing for smaller groups of players / staff. Due to this, we are cautious of its stability during larger scales of tests. We initially opened the client to staff, CCs and privateers, and with each day based on stability released additional invites to the player base at large across all regions. The order in which players applied to test does not matter, it is a random draw.

We are hopeful, as stated in the article, to eventually grant testing access to all interested players across all regions. It is important that the server remains stable otherwise no one will get the opportunity to test in a viable environment.

There will be more opportunities to be involved in testing as we intend (will be based on needs) to hold multiple sessions to...

Well, yes. It's said with big green letters that PTS starts 26th September, 9:30 AM PT.

On one hand yes... On the other hand... How else you would define it? Anyone who in theory could get affected? Or perhaps a player who entered a queue for 1 min then he got an urgent call and couldn't play all day should get compensation as well? So, IMO that's a pretty OK definition of "affected players"

It's listed in the 1st comment.
It's said "end of this week" so you can just check calendar ;)
