The laughs keep coming:quote:With World of Warships going into Open Beta Test soon, it's going to be hottest thing on the high seas. We've prepared a boatload of special packages to replace the old CBT bundles. You've got first crack at them before they become publicly available!

I am not one to jump on the bandwagon of "Fraud!" and "This is illegal" but I am a bit salty. At least give us the things that came with the ship? e: Okay but from a viewpoint that I understand more, being management. In a matter of a few hours you: 1. Delay the important patch and wipe for hours on end. 2. Have your first level support tell people they don't get the HB reward 3. Make an annoucment that people actually get the reward 4. Make yet another annoucment that tells people that they won't get it 5. And to finish it all off, offer new packages that sell the reward for quite a bit of money. I am getting the feeling there the management just cannot keep their people working together because holy loving poo poo those are some bad decisions. e2: Wargaming posted:Edit: All transactions were handled directly through Humble Bundle storefront, and proceeds were given to charities in the amount that players specified their donations to be distributed. Wargaming did not profit from the sale of the E3 Digital Ticket Humble Bundles. That...doesn't seem right. I can't check anymore, but I am sure some money went to WG?

Who knows if it's illegal but it's pretty much the definition of false advertising, that said who gives a poo poo about a dollar that I didn't even give to wargaming. It's really loving stupid though, even more so than the dumb clan wars gimmicks and 200 hour missions to get a 30 dollar premium tank for 'free'. Also what about the garage slots that supposedly came with the bonus code?

Anything you got from the code is only valid for the CBT. Actually not even that. It is valid for the game before patch 0.4.0.

Well I can see that they feel like they didn't do a good enough job of angering people with World of Warplanes, so they've decided to step up their game for World of Warships. I'm just going to assume we aren't allowed to get anything the Russians didn't get first.

The code didn't even give me garage slots in closed beta, that was the point. They might have tried to excuse it because of the five slots from spaceboats, but they never mentioned that in the offer. I guess this has a benefit though, I wasted some time reading that official forum thread and the anime avatar sycophant brigade is hilarious  edit: Generalissimo posted:Well I can see that they feel like they didn't do a good enough job of angering people with World of Warplanes, so they've decided to step up their game for World of Warships.

They have a pretty favorable refund policy (if they will follow it), so I asked for all my money back. I am ashamed to admit how much, but I spent a lot of money on this game, and since everything was wiped anyways... https://na.wargaming.net/support/Knowledgebase/Article/View/156/21/can-i-get-a-refund-for-my-premium-shop-purchase

So after taking the last few weeks off from ships, I'm pretty bad at this game again. The queue is hilarious.  200 cruisers waiting for a game? gently caress you, have to have a battleship! Then after three minutes, it just makes an all cruiser game anyway (with maybe a couple DD's).

Elmnt80 posted:Depends on how much attention gets brought to the attention of the "gaming media" I'm sure there have been real stinkers of games in Humble Bundles in the past, but at least someone can say "that game sucks" before you buy it. Has there ever been a situation where something was offered and then the company/maker has gone "lol nope" in a Humble Bundle before? If this goes on for a few days, the Bundle people will probably have to issue some kind of statement, even if they just wash their hands of the controversy. A statement from Humble Bundle will hit the gaming sites, and that's going to make Wargaming look like one of my ships six minutes into a battle: riddles with bullet holes, going in circles, and sinking from a torpedo hit. I can't fathom why they haven't just given Bundle people the ship and the code just from a PR perspective, or at least said they're working on compensating the people affected.

Humble bundle is currently selling a 30 dollar video game for a dollar, the salient difference is that this one isn't a 48 hour demo key labeled "full game" Also the bundle key allegedly gives you the Murmansk/gold if you use an unused code on your open beta account?

Pretty sure they also said if you already had a Murmansk, you'd get the 1000g plus the Murmansk's gold in price. And someone seriously needs to keep a watch on Glassdoor for Gunlion's 'exit letter.'
