Probably a few months after they flush out the trees, so adding Japanese CVs and American BBs.

I betting 2-3 months till the OBT.  WG stated that we won't be stuck in the CBT for long, but that could also mean 6+ months but I'm an optimistic person by nature.

Alpha was 3 years? I wonder what they think "not for long" is.

More important question would be.... When is WG going to let more into closed Beta?

I'll say it will be 3-6 months.

 

The US Battleships, and Japanese carrier tech trees are available. They are working on 'fixing' the plan they will have for piasters.

 

The lack of piasters in the test is the biggest issue currently.

 

So I expect a wipe, add the US, and IJN tech trees, and piasters 'soon™' and then 3-6 months to see that they work enough to open it up.

I don't want to make non-testers feel bad, but the longer the better. It'll help the game a lot more in the long run

In the meantime, I'd like to immerse myself in the elusive lore of WoWS game mechanics. Others should do the same since said mechanics are going to be complicated, if WoT is anything to go by.

MMOs don't have CBT for 6 months so why would such a simple game content wise last even 3 months? F2P games need to get things kicked off at decent rate anyways every day they stay in CBT is wasted money so why you guys think this is beyond me.

You just lessened my hopes of getting into the closed beta. :(

Why is that so? I'm sure more opportunities will come, they just don't want to add everyone at once.

Personally with the way the game looks I expect the OBT within a month. The way WG seems to be handling the CBT seems to be more about advertisement than testing. Which is good however after a quite long alpha if they keep the CBT for too long they will slowly lose the hype they just made. I have a friend who plays who expected the CBT to be only 2 weeks or so as he does not see why the game needs a long CBT. But all we can do is wait and hope.

After many features are fixed with continued fleshing out of certain tech trees would help greatly.

I still think things are missing from the core mechanics of the game... just doesn't have any lasting appeal. But that's just me :P

Indeed, closed beta is no event, its a massive phase of game development as it slowly prepares for full release!

It has a solid base, and several good elements (Music, Graphics, Main gun noises for the most part) though other elements are very lacking, giving the game less depth.

Interesting, the tone on the EU forums suggests a move to open very shortly (which may be pure optimism) and the devs aren't committing  to any kind of time frame. The question is I suppose, are they going to add U.S BB's and stuff before open? If so I would expect a longer closed time but with further waves of keys released. Personally I would like to muck about with piasters for a bit (impoverished weekend tester pleb) especially to open up more slots.

Could be a good bet that the next major beta update either pushes it to open or allows a lot of us waiting somewhat patiently in. With more fleshed out tech trees they'll need more people around playing the new ships.
