Make Platinum league 6 stars per rank, not 5.
Aw, too bad. I guess that means, no additional reward as implied, for season 2. :/
According to AlsoRobots on the US Forums, there\’ll be a reward ship for Season 2. There was some indirect confirmation on that matter.
Yes. There\’s also some vague hint at the end of the article for the half-time of the season:
http://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/common/ranked-battles-season2-update/
\”The ultimate reward for reaching Rank 1 is the Jolly Roger pirate flag – but there might be more…\”
Vague enough to not say anything, but specific enough for something. But since there are only 11 days left till the next season starts and christmas has passed already and there still not being a follow-up post on Season 2, it feels as if there\’s nothing going to happen.
If they gift something extra that\’d be greate, if not well… 10 million credits is great in itself. Also, if they continue to run ranked seasons so often per year, they\’ll run out of ships to gift to people rather soon. 1st season got Kitakami, how many more non-purchasable ships are there?
Iwaki Alpha 🙂
Now that would be silly. I wouldn\’t want anyone getting the Arkansas Beta either, because those ships had a very specific purpose and it would massively devaluate them, if they gave them out like that (as much as I\’d want one).
Yeah I don\’t mind not getting a ship either. I got the Jolly Roger, lots of flags and money, so I really have nothing to complain about. Plus, the supposed gift-ship was the Kamikaze and I actually have that one already, although its named Fujin, so there\’s not really a pressing reason to get one to begin with, My disappointment solely derives from them promissing *something* and so far not following up on it. I\’d be completely content with them saying \”Yeah, we kinda can\’t give you anything extra, because we\’d run out of prizes sooner or later and you\’d only be getting gold instead, at most, so please be happy with what you already got.\” (which I would absolutely be).
Oh and I forgot:
\”how many more non-purchasable ships are there?\”
As many as they want there to be 🙂
