WG needs to make it way more apparent that you need to have the regular ships to do the missions. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not wasted if you have the other ship. It's basically incentive for people who have the original ship to get this one too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WG needs to make it way more apparent that you need to have the regular ships to do the missions. Unlike last year though, OP actually stated in his original post he read the Mission required the normal JB. So based on that, he knew what was required to complete the mission. Last year people lost their minds about this (and its highly likely they will do so again) because they didn't read what the mission required. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I read the details of the purchase and understood it before I purchased it. The Jean Bart is obviously not the Jean Bart B and they didn't say the mission was for the Jean Bart B upfront. Common sense dictates that you should read the details of what you purchase, rather than making assumptions. Common sense would dictate that they'd want to sweeten the deal for the owners of the original variant by giving them an incentive to buy.

17 [FFG33] FirstDawnn Members 34 posts 1,963 battles Report post #18 Posted November 27, 2020 Ok One second here. If you read what it says, they make it sound like if you buy the B, you get the mission for the goodies. Why on earth would someone buy the same ship again? For the mission and a second copy? It's misleading. Read it once again ALONG WITH THE SHIPS,YOU'll GET A SPECIAL COMBAT MISSION. It does not say IF YOU OWN THE ORIGINAL Bart, nothing. The only way you can tell is if you you see the original Bart in the mission details. So, someone in the marketing dept needs to be slapped. World of Warships welcomes Black Friday! New black Premium ships have arrived in the game: IX Jean Bart B, VIII Cossack B, VIII Kaga B, and VII Atlanta B. They can be purchased in the Premium Shop and Armory with a big discount, or obtained from Black Friday 2020 containers. Along with the ships, you'll get a special combat mission that will reward you with doubloons. 13 minutes ago, Sventex said: I read the details of the purchase and understood it before I purchased it.

Why on earth would someone buy the same ship again? Because you can build your ship in 2 different ways. It cost money converting say an Jean Bart from a secondaries build to a tank built. If you mount and demount the equipment everyday, you'd have to spend about 200 doubloons each time. The B line of ships let you own a second version of that ship to do with what you will.

However, JB is not available. It's supposed to be compensation for those who already owned the non B versions. Im starting to think WG missed out on money. Seems enough people (at least on the forum) are willing to buy 2 mechanically identical ships. edit: (maybe it's by design. maybe we see all these ships on sale in January. And this entices players to buy the normal versions to finish the mission. and it spreads revenue across 2 fiscal quarters. takes off tin foil hat) Edited November 28, 2020 by Rollingonit 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The main text is basic “buy the ship, get the mission” not ”Buy the ship, must have regular version to do mission” They have to have known people were not going to click more details or scroll down. It makes no sense to separate the details. Just be upfront in the main pitch. Also, who the F that has a regular JB is going to buy this? Not many i suspect. Sorry but this was poorly done, it seems shady to me. Edited November 28, 2020 by FirstDawnn Typo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
