Welcome to the inaugural World of Warships Division Newsletter!
We will look to make this a monthly posting that helps you keep up with what's going on in the division and the game.
We will build this out overtime. Is there something you would like to see added to this? Let us know. In the meantime, read below for an update
on changes coming in the upcoming patches, a sneak peak from our crack-shot events team, and learn you can get involved in Clan Battles.
THE MONTHLY BRIEFING
For those of you that missed the monthly division meeting or who have not listened to the recording
Here, this is what you missed:
Captain changes and what you NEED TO KNOW with patch 0.9.11:
- New skills were added and some of the old ones were changed
- Now each class will have a separate section with unique skills
- Maximum skill points number increased from 19 to 21
- New way to get elite commander experience: dismiss unused commanders
- The amount of experience required to retrain a commander to another researchable ship reduced by half.
Read more Here.
Gameplay changes in the works for future patches:
- Cruisers that launch squadrons of planes. (If you hate carriers, wait until you see these beauties.)
- Skip bombs (barrel bombs that skip across the water into the side of your ship to wreck your day.)
MARK YOUR CALENDARS
Cpl_Torak, Tr_Trzy and Tr_Warhound are the new events coordinators (Congrats guys!). They are working on populating a calendar of dedicated events (They were doing that as I wrote this up).
Things to watch for:
- Movie nights
- Friday fun nights
- Drop-synch nights
- Operation nights
- Directive nights (Need help grinding the Oklahoma or those other ships? This is for you.)
If you have ideas for events you want to see, reach out to Cpl_Torak, Tr_Trzy and Tr_Warhound. They want your insight! To quote Torak:
"We're going to throw some shit at the wall, see if it sticks. If it doesn't stick, we will try to throw something else up there and see if it sticks."
CLAN BATTLES AND YOU
We have gotten a lot of questions on clan battles, and who is doing them. Well, Sgt_Styrgis (AKA 'Dad') went and made it crystal clear here.
TL;DR (AKA: Didn't click on my link])
Here's Who is Doing Clan Battles:
- Port_A (Arixmethesis) is currently participating in CBs because the Task Force Commander is organizing it. Clan Battles are optional.
- Port_B (Baku) is not particpating in CBs. Someone from Port_B needs to step up and organize it. I understand ChemputerScience is currently doing so. Clan Battles are optional.
- Port_C (Chimera) is not participating in CBs. Someone from Port_C needs to step up and organize it. Clan Battles are optional.
- Port_D (Dragons) is participating in CBs because for port_D it is mandatory.
- Valkyries (EU) is participating in CBs because the NCOs there have organized it. Clan Battles are currently optional unless they form a dedicated team.
Here Is What You Need To Participate In Clan Battles (CBs):
- Seven people in your port (or six + a mercenary, which is a random person you know.)
- Tier X ships (Or have played a game in a Tier VIII to get the rentals)
- A button pusher (The person who hits the big red button. These are your port officers. They are often the ones organizing the clan battle.)
- Show up on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays from 7:30-11:30 p.m. EST. You do not have to show up every day.
- Fun. Bring lots of this. You can never have too much. Hell, bring some to share as well.
