Aethervox Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 (edited) A hard pass from me here. I wonder who Wedgie is targeting with all these 'fluff' additions/alterations? Not me, that's for sure. The 'Beach Party Flag' is 'funny'. Perhaps, fly it on some ship with a horrible turning circle that could go aground? Intentionally go aground while flying it? Aww, Dasha is leaving .... Wedgie cash registers dinging ... from the rush of the 'juvies' to buy an unhistorical female Captain image 😒 As WoWS gets more & more bent, stapled & otherwise mutilated, I will simply play more low to mid tiers (where Wedgie 😒 doesn't wreck things too much).

Ensign Cthulhu Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 20 minutes ago, Aethervox said: to buy an unhistorical female Captain image At least she looks more 1940s than the Spanish and Pan-Am swimsuit captains. Dasha was (and still is) beloved by many in the WOWS community, and offering Dasha-themed commanders served a perceived (and it turns out very real) desire on the part of the playerbase. That's capitalism, tovarishch. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meatgrindr Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 I don't care for all that silly fluff either, and am certainly not going to pay for it. These passes have taken a nose-dive, so I am bailing out on them... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to see here. 🤦♂️ I blame my mobile screen and the heading text in the article obscuring the banner. Very interesting that the two collabs are so different, but WoWs’ collabs do have a tendency to stray towards older properties.

Aragathor Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 This update is an example of a hard pass. Nothing exciting, nothing interesting, just some cash grabs. And if anyone is wondering, the 3 kingdoms stuff we've been getting is a trickle down from RU. They had a 3 kingdoms event with free ships etc. earlier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a 3 kingdoms event with free ships etc. earlier. Is anyone surprised? If the content was WIP when the split happened there would be no reason for either company to abandon the effort, as there isn’t any liscensing or copyright to worry about on such an old work. It’s also content tailored towards the quite large Chinese market, so it’s pretty much a no-brainer. WoWs inherited a much more stable market/customer base from the split than MK, so being more “stingy” with their version of this event is disappointing, but not surprising. I am mildly interested in a PA Iowa clone (being able to run ASM1 opens up the option for reload mod in slot 6), but not enough to open my wallet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevermore135 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 48 minutes ago, Gaelic_knight said: independence day ??????? rewind back canada day before independence day boggsy you hipocrit more sellable stars and strips camo Lots of countries get smaller events (weekend mission chains with rewards, usually), and Canada is no exception. We’ve also had premium ship releases around Canada day in the past (both Haida and Yukon IIRC). The reason US Independence Day is a recurring big event every year is simply because the US population and market is so much larger than that of Canada and WG is chasing the money. The same reasoning applies to why there is a big recurring Lunar New Year event every year. It’s also the reason we have so many German premium ships. It’s nothing personal, it’s just the reality of running a global game like WoWs. If you are limited in how much content you can put out, you tailor it towards your larger markets as much as possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they’re doing another FOMO on that to push people to buy the Dasha variants and make a quick buck. Cause it doesn’t seem like they have a conflict of interest in terms of using her likeness or a reason to remove the captain beyond that.

The Star Trek stuff might be interesting depending on what it is. But I’m not rushing to get anything. Everything else I either already have or don’t care about. also, looks like no captain for the free track of the battle pass anymore. The battle pass doesn’t look like it’s worth grinding generally(again). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
