Hello, commanders. A few clarifications here on the recent announcement.

  1. The list provided is only a part of plans, so if something isn’t there, it may be coming anyways. We just had to pick stuff. For example CV improvement is 100% in the 2017 roadmap. But on WGF we concentrated on new features, for the sake of interesting presentation.

  2. Yes, VMF DD sub-branch. Other lines will come too, including more splits. Don’t worry – we did German BBs, we did RN cruisers, alternative IJN DDs, now we’re doing German DDs..it’s not like we’re doing only Soviet ships here. But they are important for us and I don’t see why they shouldn’t be. We respect history, including our naval heritage.

  3. Yes, “intuition” perk. We adjusted it after supertest. It will be weaker, it will be countered, and it is 4 points now. We are fully aware of your concerns – no, it is not going to kill anything. Let’s not draw inaccurate conclusions and wait for public test. We believe it will work, and contribute to the game in a good way. If not, well, we know how to cancel bad stuff. But honestly, after all thought, I don’t think that is the case.

  4. No, unique commanders won’t be OP, but they will be worthy. Getting something cool and collectible to the game is good. As well as rewarding experience for active players.

And kindly let me say big thanks to all of you – 2016 was fantastic for the project, and it is not even over yet. That wouldn’t be possible without your support and dedication. We will celebrate this together soon, so stay tuned for more news. Cheers!

question

Hello Sub_Octavian, I just wanted to say thank you for interacting with the community on development related questions. I appreciate it.

answer

The pleasure is mine. Really, guys, we are happy you are with us.

question

The next year’s teasers looks great and I can’t wait for 2017!

Oh and…Dasha captain please 😉

answer

What would be her special ability then?

question

Are Royal Navy BB’s coming in 2017?

answer

I cannot make such announcements, sorry. But I am sure we all understand this line is long-awaited, and should be in game:)

question

I always say regarding stuff like the “intuition” perk: I will wait until i see it and then i start complaining. We don’t know anything about it yet, what got changed and so on… so yeah… take your time and do the things properly and don’t rush it…

answer

Thank you for understanding! This is exactly why we cancelled the initial update and moved perks to 2017.

question

Will there be any more changes to matchmaking? It mostly works well, but in Soviet cruisers or destroyers it can be harsh to be uptiered from T5 to T7 or T7 to T9.

I also wonder how far you guys can predict the outcome of a match based on the metrics and results of matchmaking?

answer

  1. I believe the things you are talking about should be resolved by ship specs balancing, not matchmaking.

  2. What would be the purpose of such inquiry?

question

Developers for Special Captain! 😉

Anyway, Is f the most famous and controversial tech tree. Another one is the split-line of USN cruisers, which is also a great change of tech tree and can brought many new features. So why they both of them are missed?

Anyway, thanks to the hardworking of Dev team on 2016, as you have provide a great experience in the game.

answer

Because production of different ships takes different amount of time. Soviets are getting ready for gameplay testing, while RN BBs are in 3D dept. We announced not the stuff you are most hyped about, we announced the stuff that is closest to completion. Nothing is “missed”, but you cannot get everything at once.

question

Is there a feature that you are looking forward to seeing

answer

Yes. I want challenging PVE. Grab some friends and take on some insane mission with a lot of teamwork against overwhelming enemy – this is what may happen, and I will be absolutely happy if it will. I also updated my PC recently, so I am hoping to see visual improvements.

question

No news about team battles, or possibility of bigger divisions? It’s frustrating if your division of 3 takes out 60% of the opposing team but your potatoes out potatoes theirs by a fair margin and you still lose by points before you can find the rest of their team…..

Escorts sounds awesome, thanks for the effort in expanding on the changes here for us.

answer

Team battles are currently postponed as we decided to focus on clan development and ranked improvements.

question

none

answer

Currently T5-6 MM is not to be changed. System works as intended. Sorry that my answer doesn’t meet your expectations, but that’s the truth.
