US site shows as beta closed.

EU site cycles between "sign up" and the login for your account - doing either just reloads the basic EU site with "sign up" again.

Piece of shit Russian coding...

Diragi Thu Mar 12, 2015 10:47 am

I'm guessing each region will be able to sign up in their own timezone. I'll post if I see anything... it is a "closed beta" but no NDA, etc.

I kicked off the new client download this morning before heading in. Hopefully it will work.

You sure our beta invites work for this next phase?

If you made it in for the WoWS beta weekends then you are in for the Closed Beta.

It might go up at 12 noon PDT because wg servers don't care about DST" -- god bless WG asia, they leak everything

And now the Kriegsmarine might be ahead of the Brits. I guess napkin vehicles are much faster to crank out than the real stuff.

"On EU the application was online from 10:57 to around 11:01. Not even 5 minutes. You guys have to be fast if you want a code. I havent even seen the application page. Cause I went on the page at around 11:03."

"Fourth: If you do not already have beta access, the application will be available to you on the portal at 11am PDT - per this WG post"

[T5 RU DD] or [T7 US DD] or [T4 IJN CA] or [all three !!111!!11!1!1!]

edit: no idea if these ships are useful or not.

lothlann Thu Apr 09, 2015 7:59 pm

pre-orders for a free to play game?

Matt Varnish Fri Apr 10, 2015 7:32 am

Ya its 2015.. where Pre Alpha is the new Open Beta Wink

They do say that regular folks can buy and get access to ships when they get access to the game. The ONLY Pay Ship I am interested in is the Jap Cruiser that removed ALL the guns and replaced with quad torpedo launchers.. so a broadside of 20 Torps on one side, quick turn around and then another 20... I'll pay money for that one for sure hahaah.

Diragi Fri Apr 10, 2015 1:40 pm

Basically people who are in CBT pre-order will get all of their ships and doubloons right now; when the game goes OBT/Live and everything is wiped you get the ships and doubloons again.

Though, as I'm not really sure what lines I will play on live, jumping at these seems like a great way to waste money Neutral

Matt Varnish Fri Apr 10, 2015 3:00 pm

Oh yeah for sure.. for sure... Just saying though.. that Torp Cruiser I will get Wink

Unrelated note but in the vein of paying for Pre Alphas, in ELITE Dangerous, I have wisely geared down my playing to wait for new ships/features and it looks like I wil be rewarded.. upcoming is a balance sweep, and with it is a buff to mining, in that you dont have to chase down each chunk of Ore as your mining laser chips it off the rocks.. you can buy/deploy Collector Drones to do it for you. So now I'll be able to semi afk mine, while painting, and all I would have to do is manage the Refinery Bins.. so much like EVE mining, just more clicking in between laser cycles. THe problem as always is finding good ore belts.. the good ones are far from human space, so to make it worthwhile you need a large ship.. which I dont yet have. I might go in a medium ship and see if the extra profits are worth the longer to-and-fro. Also, new ores in next patch lol.

Diragi Fri Apr 10, 2015 3:59 pm

The tier 8 Kitakami? I was considering the Atlanta but heard it was meh ...

Joyous_Oblivion Fri Apr 10, 2015 8:14 pm

This is tempting. I managed to start playing WoWS and am loving it once you get past the first few tiers. Having my ships little hud covered in guns is way too much fun lol

Matt Varnish Sat Apr 11, 2015 12:17 pm

Yeah its a fun little game

Diragi Mon Apr 20, 2015 3:00 pm

0.3.1 Patch info
note: eta for this is soon(tm)

+ USN Battleships (compared to IJN BBs better guns/better AA/slow as shit)
+ IJN Carriers (not sure but compared to USN more squadrons but less fighters??)

- AP shell damage
+ HE shell damage

+ Kitakami will gain a smoke generator (that's your T7 prem Den)

+ Battle trophies (pennants) can be added to ships for temporary boosts

~ Mods will be removed (apparently there was an aiming mod going around that would 'suggest' at firing arc for main guns just like the one for torpedoes)

Matt Varnish Mon Apr 20, 2015 8:51 pm

Cool..looking forward to it

Diragi Tue May 12, 2015 1:58 pm

FYI, for the next ~3 days for $1 you can get a beta invite key and a Murmansk (T5 RU cruiser)

Diragi Fri Jul 17, 2015 11:31 am

A few quick tips;

1 - to enable permanent ALT mode go into settings -> controls -> enable alternative mode.
2 - secondaries / AA act as DoTs. If you control-click an enemy ship / airplane squadron then you will do +50% damage against it. (Not sure if don't focus your fire if will damage every enemy or just one)

Diragi Fri Jul 31, 2015 4:51 pm

Not that anyone gives a shit but

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
