I've been looking forward to this for quite a while. Its a bit more slow and tactical than tanks/ warplanes and looks like good fun. I heard that they are doing more closed beta invites soon. I don't know any more details than that atm, but will update if I find any info

So is anybody on here in the CBT for World Of Warships?

Having some great games, but also some real horror shows as it's a real crap shoot when you're in a pub game by yourself as you can never tell whether you're going to have back up or not.

If you're in the CBT and do want someone to form a Division with then if I'm on I'd only be too happy to team up, currently my best ship is a T7 Nagato everything else is either T5 or 6...but yeah anyway if you want to team up joe_scummer is my moniker in WoW or indeed WOT.

Cheers

Joe

I had the same issue, sadly wargaming wasn't really helpfull, claiming my key was bought off the internets. Eventho i enclosed the mail they sent the code in.
Been arguing with them the last two weeks over it.

I'm still embedded in WoT instead, but I'll probably try this when it is out of beta.

Well I'm having a blast at the moment though I still need to get the hang of destroyers, I either have an awesome game or a die in a massive fireball within a few minutes, I think the good games are more down to the skill of the players on the other team though rather than any amount of skill on my part.

There is a test of version 4.0 this weekend though you have to have been part of the closed beta to enter but it would appear that open beta is not that far away so I look forward to seeing a few of you on there.

Note: Keys are only applicable to the North American (NA) server.

Could it be something related to that note?
Title: World of warships
Post by: albert on June 19, 2015, 12:19:45 PM
Perhaps but I was careful to register as being located in North America and even tried registering through a US VPN. So I would think the code is just invalid. The error is "Invalid Code" not wrong region etc. plus I know a number of other people playing this in Europe and Australia.

Update: It seems their servers create a specific account for a region rather than a Global account. So I originally had an EU account which I changed to state I was located in the US. That wasn't good enough, they want a specific NA account and the two accounts are not linked in any way.

So I registered a new account on worldofwarships.com  (not eu.) tried to activate the code again, it worked!

Kreg, I suggest choosing a new account for the beta compare to your existing WoT account. Maybe do it through http://worldofwarships.com via a US proxy.

World Of Warships is slated to go into Open Beta on the 26th June, so if you haven't already played it then your chance to see what this game is all about is hopefully only a day away

I would if it wasn't for Naval Action. Both float my boat but NA is so much more community based and the crew I'm playing with are awesome.

It only seems to be a 4.5GB download though.  Not sure if that then needs further patching, but at least it does not seem to be a 19.5GB download!

3 to be precise.   Like all WG games you're locked to 3 for your group gaming at the moment.

Clans carry over though, so dMw is still there.

So i started this yesterday, thought it might be very much like battle stations midway..it is in some way, but is a lot better. I like the fact that games can last quite a while even against higher level opponents. For example, last night i was in a battle where there was cruisers and battleships. Now I was a destroyer, and had to keep moving fast to stop getting hit. I speed round an island and come face to face with the enemy battleship. It did look a little bit worse for wear but I couldnt get away so i fired from 1.5 km range. He did as well but he was using ap rounds so they just went through my ship and did minimal damage. But he must have been low on health as I  put 10 salvos into him and he put 4 into me(if he had have use HE I would have lasted 2), when he suddenly blew up, about 5 seconds later so did I (one of the cruisers fully broadsided me with everything). I sat back and thought WOW...then got a text from the Battleship guy..."Well played mate, thought i was safe behind here"

Sent back thanks..didnt tell him i didnt know he was there!

Really starting to like this!

Download might not be more then 4.5GB, but it decompresses to roughly 15.5, still not a lot compared to other games these days.

I found this - linky (http://forum.worldofwarships.asia/index.php?/topic/4295-mod04-aslains-wows-modpack-installer/)

A collection of mods for WoWs, a few of them are pretty crappy but some add a bit more things into the game that those that have played WoT would be used too, you can pick which you want & don't, take a look, might be useful.

+ in game name is RizZy28 should anyone wanna add me, dunno what tier I'm upto - whichever the battleships unlock.

From the looks of what's in the modpack it's nothing different to what you can use in WoT + the guy that does it does the same thing for WoT, so I'm guessing the mods should be fine, probably, maybe..... hopefully.

It was great fun, it just showed how much 3 coordinated ships can do compared to the normal random of monkeys charging around for the killshot.

What's this game like? I have played world of tanks so know of the world and the guys who make these games but want to know what it's like, when I played world of tanks it was very hard to start with I know I had starting tanks but it seems a bit unfair how I was put up against some strong ass tigers who armour wasn't effective by my shots and wanted to know is this game the same or not ?
Title: World of warships
Post by: RizZy on December 13, 2015, 04:35:07 PM
It's a very similar set up to WoT really, 10 tiers of ships, 4 different types - Battleship/Cruiser/Destroyer/Carrier, battles are usually a kill everything/capture the flag/1st team to 1000 points deal. It can be a bit slow, but I quite enjoy it & after 14k battles in WoT it makes for a nice change.

When you're starting out there is a game mode vs bots only which eases you into it a bit, but it's still basically upto you to learn the full ins & outs of it like angling your ship & using the right ammo at the right time etc.
