Stage one of the Public Test will be running from 25 May at 18:30 CEST until 29 May at 15:00 CEST (UTC+2). Keep in mind that this is a testing environment, and unannounced maintenance and patch deployments can happen at any time during the Public Test phase.

Because the version update is still being tested, the information in this Bulletin is tentative and reflects the state of game development at the time of publication. Certain changes and new features may be stripped or implemented in a different way by the time the final version of this update goes live. Screenshots, specific values of certain characteristics, and details of in-game mechanics will not necessarily be relevant after the update is released.

WoWS: Update 0.6.5.1

Source: Portal

The update happens on May 25; preparation begins at 07:00 CEST until 08:30 CEST (UTC +2).

Patchnotes

  • Fixed an issue that caused ships to be sold together with the camouflage mounted on them. Now it is dismounted and placed in the Inventory
  • Fixed issue where the message for choosing an incorrect ship and battle type to fulfil campaign tasks was displayed in Russian
  • In the final task reward for mission #3 in the Hunt for Bismarck campaign, the Secondary Battery Modification 1 upgrade is credited, which cannot be mounted on any ship.

Important: With Update 0.6.5.1, the reward in this task will be changed to Auxiliary Armaments Modification 1, and we will remove the incorrect upgrade from all players who have already received this reward and credit them with the correct one. To avoid a loss in credits, we are asking players not to sell the incorrect upgrade and wait for the release of version 0.6.5.1 to have it changed to the right one. Players who have sold the Secondary Battery Modification 1 will not get it exchanged.

  • Fixed an issue that caused Aircraft Carriers’ cameras to switch to the tracking camera when several navigation points are set via the Shift key when the “Switch off Shift on aircraft carriers” option is turned off.

WoWS Q&A – 23rd May 2017

Thanks to Babykim, EU

The second Clash of the Servers tournament should be announced this week. The previous time EU won agaist RU, and was fun to watch, at least for me.

This info is from RU forum: http://forum.worldof…77#entry3528977

Recap by getfun from a recent meeting with the developers in Samara:

1. Version 0.6.5 got balanced by nations reworked. Have you noticed?

2. Carrier controls will be reworked in the future. Players suggested a unified attack mode instead of an automatic or a manual drop, but one that leave a role for player’s skill.

3. Manual control of the secondaries will stay as is.

4. Kiev and Tashkent are correctly tiered.

5. The mini-map will get the radius of the radar and that of the AA aura.

6. Personal offers will include elements of a tutorial. A first version of this is already in game and available to some beginners.

7. The medium term (next few patches) we see some PvE missions for clans.

8. A tournament functionality is coming in winter, possible with an Attack and Defence type of scenarios.

9. Version 0.6.6 may see a buff of Hydroacoustic Search for Lo Yang, Yugumo may get Shimakaze’s torpedoes, Nürnberg may get 360 degree rotation of the rear turret, and all German cruisers get a buff on penetration with HE.

10. No changes are planned for Grozovoi, her performance is being watched.

11. On average, twice as many battles where played during the Clash of the Elements event than before.

12. Official training room and replay functionalities are not immediately forthcoming. The people are busy developing other things.

13. In the summer will see changes to Quick Commands in chat.

14. The split of the US cruiser tree will definitely not occur this year.

15. The Russian/Soviet battleships are definitely not coming this year.

16. Smoke, shot and splinter/parts tearing off visual effects are being reworked.

17. Many players have purchased the top Hood bundle. Perhaps in the future, all bundles containing the same ship will be sold simultaneously.

18. The AA rockets of Hood are not the new type of weapon announced last year. This new type of weapon in being tested on the super test.

19. The next rank season will probably be on tier 6.

P.S: The new RU forum has been launched today. Will we see similar changes on other clusters?

Various Reactions to WG and #FreeFoch

There have been loads of reactions from various large news outlets and YouTubers. All we can say for certain is that will have a very negative PR effect on WG. Someone at WG is definitely getting fired.

Jim Sterling recently posted a video chastising WG for the incident. He also states that he will make a “Jimquisition” on the matter where he will do some more research and perhaps chastise them further.

The popular TotalBiscuit tweeted out a small synopsis of the situation. Link
