Why no DLCs for paints?

[Corona Lisa]

Whats the reason that we can buy a 5th rate who can enter shallow waters but no ingame paints?

We do not know yet if there will be more imported vessels. Lets give hercules and le requin a chance first. 
Paints definitely will happen though.

Dunno but I’d buy the shit out of paints or a custom flags type of thing

Cosmetic DLCs would be huge in this game. The ability to customize the look of your ship (not a free for all Priscilla Queen of the Desert thing, but within the historical context) and have custom pennants and ensigns would simply be freakin awesome!!! How about the ability to name your own ships as a DLC? In sort the Devs would double their revenue overnight and please the player-base no end. C'mon guys... you know you want to!!

Edit: And options for different figureheads!!! You know you want to!!!

Admin said DLC paints are coming for sure

Yep I missed that statement, my bad.

Still dont understand why they go the P2W route instead of doing cosmetic stuff. Especially since its proven to work for so many games. Maybe you can clarify why @admin ?

I wish I knew as well. I guess they got carried away when adding prolific forger.

DLCs are necesery if people buy them devs can buy new equipment faster and/or hire new developer its good for all players. If your P2W is adresed towards Premium ships yes they might be strong ships but in other hand people are not very likely too buy ship that underperforms for real money plus they create more PvP content

Maybe it is so, I don't know. Wargaming released some numbers on premium stuff a few years ago and those showed that cosmetics was the least lucrative. On top was premium time followed by premium vehicles.

I would probably buy a paint or two for the ships I like. But premium ships? I'll buy em all and ask for more as they allow me to partially bypass eco and that holds tremendous value to me.

Cmon jodgi, you can do better 😕

If you mean WoT and similar games, they are known to be pay2win and free2play....

So can you, please!

In clear conscience I can only give two examples of the worn out p2w argument in wot. And then that's limited to 1-4% boost to your winrate if you play those tanks exclusively. If you join the hypetrain without due diligence, then sure, all f2p games are p2w cesspools. If you look at the numbers combined with some gameplay knowledge the p2w propaganda gets harder to substantiate.
