the return of the Diana event

[Conte D. Catellani]

What about having again a Diana's event the next mom day?

[furyGer]

Yes pls

[CptEdwardKenway]

You didn't give enough good reviews so no it won't happen. De Ruyter already got officially canceled.

The game

[Conte D. Catellani]

well i think that is not so unusual to dont have suddently a ship...let's think at the Gremy in Wows, was just like a gift for beta tester and then after i think two years come out like premium ship or like gift in special occasion.

Using special days for events could be a way to keep live the game..we are also close to the first year of Na

[CptEdwardKenway]

The admin already said no to the De Ruyter because we dared to not give good reviews. No more gifted ships. We have been bad players and deserve to be punished.

[Cathal Brugha]

No pre content good reviews, no content. Besides, for reasons I posted elsewhere, the Diana event was a falure we don't need a repeat

WOWS is a free to play game that gets financed over Premium Ships/Time/Etc

ADMIN said that they release DLCs for people to buy so they can work on more content 2 DLC one Craftable ship so dar we have 6 DLC ships and one new  Craftable  (Implac) so yeah... 

The Event is BS lol PPL we're excited to see DE reuyter and PVP players were exited to farm Kills why risk your good ship to go cap a shitty Gray ship and get sunk for a shitty gray ship.......

Did he say no to De Ruyter? I think you are just dramaqueening.

De Ruyter is the "special event" ship and I don't see that has been changed.

Event was a success and when coming back, certainly will have "special event" ships as prizes.

I understood the concept. A ship only available over special events cannot be offered at the same time as standard buildable / (permit) lootable ship. Rareness is required.

Or else nobody cares. As they have permits in their warehouses. It's that simple.

--

What is possible is, one day, after another new "special event" ship would have been designed by devs, De Ruyter will become craftable and is going to be replaced by XXXX. And so forth. It's an efficient way to introduce ANY new ship model arriving in game.

Well nobody cares anyway, thats the problem. Diana event was very exciting and I grinded the hell out of it (I can imagine it was not so great on PvP server as you get ganked all the time coming weakened from fights with OP AI). Thats all fine and dandy until you realize your time was wasted effort - I have captured 11 Ruyters and not a single one can be considered decent. Even crafted 5th rates have bigger armor then blue bermuda ruyters (and even geting blue one was succes). 

I fell in love with Ruyter and wanted to use it as my primary ship. But with those crappy woods no way, I have bigger chance to survive even in endymion! People used it for a few days as a novelty and its beauty, but now we all shoveled it to dock as it cant be used in any kind of challenging (read as rewarding) fight.

I am sorry I can't confirm this.

My harvest from the event was 2 grey, one green and one blue De Ruyter. You would probably consider the blue one the best... if the others would not have quite strong port boni...

Now I tell you what happened recently. We did group mission with two of them De Ruyters, my blue one and partner used his grey I had given to him.

Unfortunately, I was struck by hardware failure and got disconnected; until I got back into the mission my De Ruyter was sunk by a group of NPC (I suspect the 'rescue option' devs have implemented for sometimes saving a ship of a player who got disconnected does not work in group battles, because here I never have seen it work like it does in solo fights). Mate decided to fight on in his GREY ship anyone here would consider inferior quality.

And he survived.

Killed 8 enemy ships in the process. With a grey one! If I remember right, caguairan/crewspace.

It's basically psychology. If you think you are inferior because your ship "is", then you already lost. If you treat your ship like it is a gold one in seasoned woods, it can perform like one. If even it is just... a grey one you can't boast with on global chat.

 

[Trawn]

Group kill mission for 3rd rates consist of 3x 3rd rate and 5x 5th rate. Depending on ship types spawned it is not that hard. But not that easy either, so good job. But even then caguiran/crew space Ryuter has more armor then mine has. My best one which I kept is blue teak/bermuda cedar (almost all of mine had bermuda planking or frame) with garbadge port boni and that thing can be penned from any angle with 42pds. I dont mind upgrade slots, but if you cant bounce shots, you cant outplay enemy other then sterncamping and that proves difficult when you fight more then one ship. Hell even elite 5th rate will pen you from every angle.

I mean, it is not useless per say, all odds can be overcame by tactics. But right now it feels like voluntarily hampering yourselft by not using crafted ship. Otherwise you are better off with blue crafted Wasa or even USS. Firepower is good, but you cant shoot if you are dead.

What rescue option? If you get disconnected, ship gone.

Yes they did. They certainly did. No De Ruyter because we didn't give a positive review on the Implaceable note we got gifted after alot of players lost their ship after capsizing due to a bug.

The devs wrote the De Ruyter will be added in February. Which month do we have? No word about it's just a "special event" ship. The literally wrote it will be added to the game. Later they wrote no because for above reasons.

And where was the event a success? I can't see a peak of players nor of reviews. Instead the playerbase is constantly decreasing.

And no they said "De Ruyter permit/note (don't know exactly)" in February. Not "special event ship". Now they say no De Ruyter at all. There is a "slightly" difference. Not replaced by ship xy or anything. They just hold it back because we, the bad bad players, didn't give good reviews on the Implaceable note which, again, we only got gifted after several players lost their ships due to a bug.

And that "special De Ruyter event ship" was a ship you had to capture which was only possible for admirals and then it was some useless grey/green ship with bermudar cedar/mahogany woods. What a "special" ship indeed. You know the "Whoa, this is worthless" meme?

No. I had it sometimes rescued, saved to OW that is, after having computer issues.

Just not in group battles. That is why I suspect it's not working there.

Maybe it's in the eye of the beholder, what's useless here? Or Captain's skills?

I had a lot of fun in green and even grey De Ruyters.

And I am sick of people constantly claiming life begins for them only when they sit on a seasoned woods 5 slot - all port boni - wonderbra.

[Conte D. Catellani]

The Wonderbra makes miracles, I saw so nice cleavage in the past

No it's not in the eye of the beholder, it's in the eye of the devs. How many De Ruyters are still around? Haven't seen any lately. Probably because they literally got sunk while fighting Wo (s) Lo (s) ships.

A lot of skilled players said "Well it's good for hunting traders". Whoa, a heavily armed 3rd rate for hunting traders? Seriously?

It's not about skills, your skill is useless when you don't have the right tools. You can't send a "blindfolded" professional boxer in the ring vs an amateur and expect him to win. Of course he might have a chance. But it's more likely that he will be carried out of the ring by two people.

 

And I am sick of people who think we, the players, are too stupid to play.

No I don't need an (s) ship with 5 slots. You didn't get the point here. It's about 1 twisting words and promises around without obviously knowing the facts and 2 making content reasonable.

The devs promised us a De Ruyter note/permit that's a straight fact. Don't come with some "special event" stuff when it wasn't special at all.

And don't say it was a success when the player numbers are dropping. What is your excuse about it? Corona? While all other games have increasing numbers in NA they aren't like this. Seriously now, what's your explaination and excuse for that?

On Steam the Diana's event had 125 thumbs up that looks like a good review for me, is like a like on Fb or more than 3 star on Google review if we compare it to a restaurant or a pub. So don't understand all that stuff about good review to make.

I don't know, ask GameLabs. Their statement is: no good reviews on Implaceable note (which was a reparation), no De Ruyter.

And to be honest 125 thmubs up are not really that good. We had 1700 players that time. That's slightly above 7%. I assume that 93% didn't think it was such a great thing.

I think I just let you blow off your frustrations and ignore them. No use further replying to something which reads like delirium tremens.

Of course it was a success. I have seen for a week the south coastline of Hispaniola buzzing with excited people trying to find De Ruyters, Dianas and Cecilias, on global chat directions given where some have been sighted. Was a frenzy. Some dellusional people meantime just have to talk themselves into believing it wasn't, for parading around here, pounding the floor with their boots and claiming things which are not true.

Did you even read my comment? IT. IS. NOT. ABOUT. (s). SHIPS. Helloooooo!!!!

Don't just pull something out of context to fill your agenda here. Or are you just trolling here?

Talking about issues here is like talking to flat earthers. 🙄

A PvP players arguing with a PVE player over the importance of ship woods and port bonuses...
 

You guys will never understand each other. Give it up. 
 

If ship wood, port bonuses and upgrades don’t matter, why was 17OM reals offered by top PvP players for a LO (s) WO (s) gold bucentaure with 55 points worth of port bonuses? (And special guns 😉)

Tell it this forum troll who pulls stuff out of context 🙄

But my point was not about woods, it was about reasonable reward and that devs said no to De Ruyter because reasons. An Implaceable reparation note which got no good reviews. I don't know what is so hard to understand about this for him. Seriously someone throw me a bone here. Need the info.
