2,750 [FOXEH] Kitsunelegend Beta Testers 6,103 posts 1,313 battles Report post #1 Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) Thank you WG! For offering not only the USS Texas, but also offering her in a non-bundled form! Allowing people with limited funds to also get a chance to get her, or people who simple JUST want the ship without all the extra fluff. =) (even though I bought the $30 fully loaded bundle... ) Also! Thank you post office for delivering my tax refund on time to be able to purchase her... But **** you work for making me not be able to play her until the weekend... *is silently sobbing* #justwannaplayTexas To be honest, I wasn't really looking to buy the Texas, mostly because she is technically only a re-skinned NY (with better AA of course) so she didn't really hold that much interest in me. I bought mainly because I wanted another USN premium BB. Something we haven't had since the ArkB was given out. I mean seriously, the ArkB, until now, was the ONLY USN battleship in the game. I seriously hope it doesn't take this long to add in other needed ships... *cough*Pennsylvania class BB*cough* Edited May 2, 2016 by Kitsunelegend 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

144 Questlove Beta Testers 737 posts 9,549 battles Report post #5 Posted May 2, 2016 TY WG for the flags but also you're making things difficult in the Premium Shop, as always. There are several flag packs that don't indicate the number of flags included (see FLAGS: MORE COMMANDER EXPERIENCE as an example). Also, why is there no shopping cart? I have to make 7 different purchases. I, personally, and many other people have asked for a multiple item buy option. When you offered flag sales last year there was a cart but then it vanished. This is 2016. Please get with the program. FLAGS: MORE COMMANDER EXPERIENCE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm actually looking forward to playing again, when time and work permit. Now if we can just get some work done on the PVE side of things, all will be great. +1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
57 The_Moe Members 612 posts 2,852 battles Report post #8 Posted May 2, 2016 Went ahead and grabbed her, now need to play the NY and then Texas and see what the real difference is before selling my NY. Either Noster or iChase had a fantastic review of the Texas, showing what really makes the difference between the two. Outside of the AA on the Texas, the gun arc of one of the rear turrets allows for better angling when shooting. I'm honestly wondering why I should keep my NY as well. Think I'll keep her for a month or so and see what happens, but I can't imagine playing her again at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PvE would be the perfect environment for a proper campaign mode, or at least some more immersive historical scenarios. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As a Texan is would be counter to every tradition I know and love not to buy her. And I love traditions (might have something do with with my college). But yes, I share all of your excitement Kitsune. At least you will get to play her sooner than me. I foresee much coffee and bacon in your future as you pull all nighters.

Without you, there is no us. Thank you Niko for passing on our wishes! The ability to buy just a ship is a real pull for me to buy ships. Bundles really turn me off cause I can rarely take advantage of the premium time that comes in the bundle, so it was just wasted money for me. Keep up the awesome work Niko!

627 [MAHAN] AdmiralPiett Beta Testers 1,605 posts 7,195 battles Report post #15 Posted May 2, 2016 I sincerely thank the WGNA team as well. Bundles put ships out of reach of many players, particularly those on the NA server that don't live in the US and are already paying a lot due to poor exchange rates between their native currency and the USD.

Not only by offering new ships, but also by offering both bundled and unbundled choices and offering flags! This is great progress, and I personally appreciate it!

Without you, there is no us. First let me say I am very happy that you are selling the ships just with a port slot and with several bundles I do really like that. But I have to ask about the base price. Why is the Texas $25 and the Murmansk $16 when they are both tier 5 ships. I get the Texas is a BB and they cost more but 50% more? Anyways just giving feedback. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyways just giving feedback. Because Texas is a BB and Murmansk is a CL. BB costs more pixels to build and therefore is more expensive. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BB costs more pixels to build and therefore is more expensive. Trust me I fully expected it to cost more, I just was surprised to see it cost 50% more. I was more expecting it to cost 20, with the Murmansk costing 16. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
