WoWS: Planned Updates

An overview of what has been done and what is planned to be done.

Captains!

It has been two months since we published an important message for the community, which you can find here. Today, it’s time to share our progress on our commitments and the plans for the foreseeable future.

Monetization

  • An important change has been the disclosure of drop rates for items: from November 2021, all new containers and random bundles that go on sale will also be provided with the complete drop rates. Initially, we promised a much less precise deadline (basically somewhere in 2022). There were a lot of open questions and we were not certain that we will manage to get all the details and descriptions clear in time. The upcoming Black Friday and New Year monetization activities will also be affected by this change as well as all new activities involving containers from now on. You can read more about this change here and here.
  • Subsequently, after these publications, there was another frequent question: how will New Year containers work? They will work in a similar way to our current WH40k containers, with different categories of drops and all content within a category having the same chances.
  • On top of this, we also have two more initiatives that we also promised to implement—warning about the nature of randomness and additional protection for children. This year, for all containers and random bundles sold for real money or Doubloons:
    • We will add a warning about the nature of randomness and the need to approach the purchase reasonably.
    • We will add the requirement for a user to confirm the age of 18+ to make such a purchase.

WoWS ST 0.10.11, New ships (First Spanish Cruiser)

PS: I have many unpublished leftover WoWS articles. Should I take the time to post them all again, even if very late, or should I just continue by posting just the new ones? Vote here.

U.S. Tier X Destroyer Forrest Sherman, Soviet Tier X Cruiser Sevastopol, Spanish Tier VI Cruiser Canarias, and British Tier VI Cruiser Dido have been added to the game for testing, along with Soviet Tier VIII Submarine C-189.

 

U.S. Tier X Destroyer Forrest Sherman

The lead ship of the class she gives name to, this destroyer was built after World War II, taking into account the lessons learned during the conflict. The ship’s armament was primarily designed to counter aircraft and submarines.

DDoS Attack on WG Servers – Update

UPDATE: There are server lags in the game again, and RU6 is under DDoS attack.

“Decepticons” attacked Wargaming sites and services again today

The WoT forums, WoTReplays, WG Mods and the WoWP portal were affected.

By the way, the WoWP portal and the WoWS portal also were down, and the first one could not load at all until the morning (too old).
