Re: World of Warships - Open Beta
So... the Tirpitz appeared in premiumshop... but honestly... 59.99€?
I bought my premium CBT package at the same prize...
They should sell it as the ship only and give the option for all the goodies...

Re: World of Warships - Open Beta
They won't. There's a massive number of people who will buy the package, just to get their hands on the ship (and people can always rationalise that all the goodies aren't 'useless', so they're worth the money). So, WG will feel vindicated and make a lot of money out of this.

Then, they'll pull the Tirpitz out of the shop, like they did with the Warspite, and only put it up (as a package), in the future, during e.g. holiday periods or similar.

After, say, 5 months of people in Tier 7-9 ships being rapid-fire sniped at or torped by Tirpitzes, there will be another massive number of people willing to buy it (because it's a good ship and clearly the fact that their WR is at 49% is due to the fact that they have only bad ships to play with, down in Tier 5).

TL;DR: I suspect the Tirpitz will only become available to buy on its own when the Kriegsmarine tech tree gets in the game, and people need a captain trainer ship. Until then, it's gonna be like the Warspite: always sold as part of a goodie package, to make the gods of WG some more money.

Which is all fine and dandy. They're a company. They're here to make money. If you don't like their methods, don't give them any money. If that means it's gonna take a year or so before you can play the Tirpitz, so be it. That's what I'm doing.

Frak the Tirpitz, I want the bloddy Bismark.

In other news, upgraded the Cleveland. Didn't like it. Sold it and bought back the Omaha.

Re: World of Warships - Open Beta
Rather uneventful, my team won and I didn't do a whole lot. I managed to score 6 hits on the Iowa in one salvo and dealt only 1000 damage to it.
One of our Tirpitz torp'd a destroyer. Talking about a role reversal.

Almost every game I played after that one had at least 4 Tirpitz in it.

Re: World of Warships - Open Beta
21 torp hits? Holy moly. Was the enemy team full of straight-driving BBs?

Re: World of Warships - Open Beta
It was pretty weird. The map was Big Race, I started north and went southwest into the corner of the map I lovingly call Destroyer Country. On approach, I saw an enemy DD light off his moke generator, so I fired a brace of torps into the cloud and turned away, earning me the first kill. Cruising around further, I got good angles on the Furry Taco and Clemson, so I torped them. And then, to my big surprise, I saw a Wyoming stuck inside one of those narrow channels, so torpedoing ensued.

Done with that, I exited Destroyer Country heading West, immediately spotting both enemy CVs. After those got torped, I got killed by a full-health Furry Taco which was racing back to defend his CVs, which was only fair.

TL;DR: Praise the Torp! Also, never ever drive BBs down narrow channels.

Re: World of Warships - Open Beta
So it seems they don't want me to play the game anymore...
A month ago I started having huge FPS drops all the time and generally low FPS. It looks like the game doesn't work well with mobile nvidia cards anymore. Even the nvidia control panel is bugged for WoWs, though it does use the nvidia card and not the intel one. I was able to get back to playable levels by modifying some stuff in engine_config.xml. Sadly it since last weekend I'm back to horrible FPS drops and I'm out of ideas how to fix it  :mad: :sigh: :(

Here goes scripting and copy paste coding

Re: World of Warships - Open Beta
These Tirpitz...
played North in my Cleveland and two Tirpitz asked to screen them, which I did.
End of the story, while I fended of a DD, one of them fired his torps, almost killing me and disabling the steering and engine, while the enemy DD launched his torps.

Several battles after this, I wondered about the name of a CV skipper, which was hunted by two DDs. I managed to shield the CV with the hull of my New York, earning several compliments.
Turned out the CV skipper was was the one who torped me with his Tirpitz :D

Re: World of Warships - Open Beta
Warships is scheduled to launch on September 17 (at least for NA). I would talk about how it's too early, but this isn't the first time they've done this. :doubt:

Re: World of Warships - Open Beta
Literally the only thing that will change is getting rid of the 'beta' label.
'Launch' means effectively nothing in this day and age for f2p games.

Re: World of Warships - Open Beta
Yeah, but you'd think Wargaming would be reluctant to drop the beta tag with all of the balancing issues and other problems the game currently has.

We moved to closed beta on what was regarded as one of the worst patches the game has ever put out.

Re: World of Warships - Open Beta
Oh yeah, I remember, I was an alpha tester too. That's why I'm not particularly surprised the game was rushed into OBT/Soft Release, and now they think it's polished enough to be in full release - when the game (at least in my experience) has only gotten worse since the alpha. I'll have to see what's new with this latest patch though.

What's in the latest patch, you ask?


Also some balance changes, mostly concerning visibility, carriers being balanced (against each-other at least), and some torpedo nerfing.

Sweet Jesus! When I was sitting there being burned to death by cruiser gunfire, I was just thinking "Man, those islands need some trees on them!" I am boarding the hype train now. (I'll probably play a little later though.)

Re: World of Warships - Open Beta
Well, lots of Boats have been nerfed, while others have been buffed.
Not sure if i like the buffs the IJN Cruisers did get, maybe it takes just time adjusting to flying Furutakas...
