I really want to play this now but money is tight.What's the cheapest way in I wonder? *with the Yubari or Gremyashchiy @ £14.46*

Jingles' latest ship test...



Screw it,I'm in.Bought the Yubari.Now I'm going to go shoot down some planes smile

Well that's weird. I'm positive I purchased the Yubari but I've just got the game installed and in my line-up is the Gremyashchiy?
The receipt doesn't say what package I bought,maybe I clicked on the wrong one?

*edit* Either way...I freakin' love this game!

A good video showing 2 guys who squad up and the tactics they use and against a numerically superior team in the 1st battle.

I would be very careful about putting money into these games, I purchased Tanks to play in Sim Battles and basically the events do not include the Tanks I own.

So all my premium time is being wasted, they also are handing out bonuses for logging in and I just notice they are expiring. So not only have I paid for Premium time that I cannot use and the bonuses are expiring that I cannot use.

Total waste....

This is not like War Thunder.Just like its land-based cousin,in World of Warships you can always play with any of your ships.

And yes,I don't usually put money into these games,I like to think that F2P is F2P but I wanted to get into the closed beta.

Well, I purchased the USS Sims yesterday (after reading some reviews of the 3 ships - looks like Sims will be my "credit generator" when I'm off the premium time) and the game is looking pretty fine for a closed beta (besides the ping - 210ms in Brazil, but in WoT their server sometimes - one week a month - do the same for me... then it gets back to 100ms).

This has the potential to be better than a 3d Navyfield (the original not the crap moneygrab that is NF2), hope they up the complexity in ship customization - it would be nice to change armor thickness as in NF, but it's too early to see if they'll implement this (half of the confirmed features isn't even there yet).

Playing with the I-II tiers made me want to purchase Jutland, had a good lot of fun in the demo, but their DRM and support sucks... looks like is counter-strike ships for me for now (having lots of fun in WoWS).

Hope to see you guys online!

Ok, purchased the Yubari.

Have been really looking forward to playing this game and 20€ seems like a fair price to get in now and have a premium cruiser on top.

See ya on the high seas!

I understand the BETA will be free soon?
I am curious to try it but think it will be too free and easy with history for my liking. Japanese alongside americans and so forth.

Yes, the game mixes nationalities in battles. It's quite possible that we'll see "historical battle" setups as in World if Tanks in the future though.

The Mighty Jingles reviews the first British ship,the grand old lady HMS Warspite. As usual you get a history lesson,game facts and then some action,where he puts the 'inferior' Warspite up against serious opposition,kicking ass and taking names in the process.

As much as I want this ship,7500 gold? I'll wait for the full tech tree.

Patch 0.3.1 is here,and so are the American BB's! There's lots of new content and ships,plus some excellent anti-griefing measures. As usual I'll leave it to The Mighty Jingles to explain all...

I have been playing for a week and I really like that game.

They seem to have learned from WOT and did not, so far, repeated the same mistakes.

It is a nice variation into the MMO world.

And as Evil flower mentioned it, it does recall views and dynamic encountered already in Battlestation Pacific.

Finally, those ships in action are beautiful.

(Info only from the Wargaming forum, as I can't access the HumbleBundle page from office...)

For the North American server there seems to be currently a special HumbleBundle package that also gives access to the currently ongoing Closed Beta Test:
E3 HumbleBundle WarGaming Package discussion on WG forum
NOTE: All codes are only usable on the World of Tanks and World of Warships North American server, but may be used by persons anywhere worldwide. Content is only accessible on the North American server.

Bonus content: Tier V Russian Cruiser Murmansk, 5 Port Slots, and 7 Days of Premium game time and when you play 50 battles during the closed beta phase (don't know how long that still goes), you also get the USS Arkansas as CBT reward.
And all that for 1$.

For a $? Nice deal,assuming the CBT lasts much longer.I think all CB players get the Arkansas as long as you have 50+ battles.

I've accumulated over 10,000,000 credits because I tend to play my favourite ships a lot rather than researching up the tech tree.I assume I will lose all that in the great stat wipe?

As said, I can't verify price and content of the bundle myself, but that's what is stated in the WG forum thread I linked (maybe someone could check and post it here directly?!).
And yes, every CB tester with 50+ battles gets the USS Arkansas; I also don't know how much time is left to play those 50+ battles, days, weeks, months?!

For an interested NA-based player, this is an easy buy - and there seems to be more in that bundle than just WG stuff.
For a EU player it could also be interesting for the gold, 1000 gold in WoT (as I understand it accounts are supposed to be merged and share the gold between WoT and WoWS), +2450 gold when you sell the Murmansk - if you could transfer the gold from a NA account to a EU account...

Yes, you will lose everthing accuired while playing with the wipe from closed beta test (CBT) to open beta test (OBT). That's also expected to be the last wipe (no wipe planned from OBT to final release).
After that wipe you will start with the items that you bought with real money (e.g. the stuff coming with the bundle listed above). On top CBT participants get the USS Arkansas (50+ battles), two captains with skill points (once you reach level 4 again), and a bunch of flags (based on the number of battles?!).
