WGNA when will be the mikasa be released?

[Mr_Alex]

I was wondering when will the Mikasa be released?

[Cas86]

Soon^TM

 

[Mlwestman]

There's a possibility it won't be. Don't ask me to cite references, please, but I seem to remember seeing someone say that it was doing so poorly on the server(s) that had it, that it wasn't deemed saleable. Might show up as a freebie captain trainer?

[Misato]

If it's that bad give it away.  I'll take a Mikasa code.  God knows a few other people here would really love one too.

The way they ignore their player base in their own forums is getting ridiculous. They announced an Auroa code give away on reddit but not on their own forum. Worse, then they limit it pretty severely that within an hour it's already ended. I know of several friends that are pretty salty over this and possibly the last straw and frankly I'm not sure WG can keep doing this to their own player base. We all know there are several other premium ships readily available on the other servers but WGNA seems to want to play a different sort of game with their customers.  

[Cpt_Kill_Jack]

They dont wanr to. And they wont on RU says the devs. Its a bad ship and it was recoeved baddly on the EU server.

 

That said i still want to buy it.

[Francois424]

As usual, count me into the crowd that wants one.

 

It's a nice PvE ship until/if it ever gets fixed.

That's probably because they don't want 14/15 players having an Aurora. It's bad for business. Maybe instead of accusing WG you should be more considerate.

same here, I'd love to have that ship in my port. the history within that ship alone, makes her a prize to any admiral's collection!

[Rubberlegs623]

I'd take it as well just for the looks. p.s it looks like the Titanic pissed off after hitting the iceberg

But that'd screw over the EU customers, having that said if the WG NA community managers convince RU and EU to refund Mikasa in doubloons then it would most likely be given away.

The subreddit community is severely smaller than the forum community, giving away a ship like that is far less damaging to the business model and game balance than if they did it on the forum. If you think you see a lot of Tirpii now, just imagine something significantly worse but with an Aurora, because that would've been the case if the giveaway was on the forums. That is the reason Diana was limited to 200 people.

Well they gave away many more Murmansk's and you don't see mid tier matches inundated with them and it's a far better ship. 

[Crocmeister]

If the Mikasa remains in its current condition it most likely will never be sold on either the RU or NA servers. The ship plays so poorly that WG just doesn't want to sell it.

 

But that's what irritates me. Instead of actually putting in an iota of effort and just buffing the Mikasa either through hard buffs or even just soft stats to make it better. WG just decides to give up on it and move on.

Come on WG, think outside of that box you seem to live in sometimes. I know it won't be easy, but there has to be a way to make the Mikasa fun to play, and therefore fit for sale to all of us who want it on this server.

It's a T2 battleship, balancing that is hard especially since low tier tends to be kind of all the same.

[Yasenpoi]

T2 is kind of a joke.  They also pretty much get matched  up against T3 all the time, so they should just make a T3 BB at worse.  Besides even if you get put in a T1-2 game all the ships are pretty small and balancing dispersion would be a nightmare in terms of game balance.

My Idea to balance it... 6km base range secondaries.

Or 5.5km but with 4 equipment slots like the warspite.

Still way worse than a St-Louis, but good enough to be a T2, just an unusual one.

 

 

That said I'd still buy her in her current state, and it's really annoying that they just don't care.

AlsoRobot said he was going to check and come back to us last Friday I think.  still waiting.

I also asked NyxWGA since many ppl said to do it... she read the post around the 29th of September but I guess had nothing to tell us.

 

 

*sigh*

So you want to give a T2 BB better secondary range than the Tier 3 BBs? The secondary range on the Kawachi and South Carolina is 3k, you're suggesting the T2 BB get double the range? No.

 

So many people want this ship for some reason I just can't understand. Sure if you want it just to be a completionist and have every ship then knock yourself out but don't expect it to be worth a damn.

And so, people come to realize it's almost impossible to properly balance T2 battleships out.

Does it occur to you mikasa fought at the battle if tsushima?

I'd prefer they make secondaries not worthless across the board.

The Mikasa is a beautiful and sexy looking ship, and would be the only tier II BB in this game yet. Its special, has a fairly interesting history, is pre-WWII, and is fairly unique for a ship. Those are the reasons I want her at least. Hell, I couldn't care less whether or not they buff anything on her. I have an Albany and people have said that she sucks and is terrible, but I love her and some of my best low tier games are with my Albany. Its all about how you play the ship, the stats just help you learn how to play it to its strengths.

 

The Mikasa is also the only IJN ship I have any interest in what so ever, so WG has a guaranteed purchase out of me.  

[Seraphil]

If the Russians can have Aurora, why can't Japan have Mikasa?

[Sathari3l]

That's probably because they don't want 14/15 players having an Aurora. It's bad for business. Maybe instead of accusing WG you should be more considerate.

Yea, I was the kind soul who announced the giveaway on the forums. I also have 30 spare aurora codes I put in a word doc from that.

Didn't end after an hour, I just anounced it on the forums late cuz I didn't know about it till an hour before I posted the link.

This ^^^^.

 

Trying to put a BB in the protected 'kiddie-pool' of t1/2 has to be an impossible job. Having 2x2 12" guns when nothing else in the protected pool has over 6" guns is always going to be a problem. The only way too keep it from being the ultimate seal-clubber is to make the dispersion so bad the ship is virtually unplayable. 

 

Its no wonder WG isn't in a hurry to bring it here.
