Hey Captains! Natali here.
The autumn brings a fresh wave of news to World of Warships,
and I’m here to help you surf it. Are you ready?
Sit back and relax—we're setting sail!
The main thing happening this September is the release of Update 0.11.8.
In this update, we're going to celebrate the 7th anniversary of the game together!
Prizes, gifts, and good vibes guaranteed!
A couple of words about the gifts.
The battle performance bonuses— also known as "Snowflakes" by some players—
are back in the game!
As it was before, in order to get a reward,
you need to either win a battle or earn 300 Base XP
without taking the battle outcome into account.
What do you get after fulfilling this simple requirement?
Let me tell you: playing Tier V–VII ships,
you'll get a container that drops economic bonuses.
When the conditions are met playing Tier VIII and IX ships,
you'll earn two containers holding economic bonuses.
Finally, your successful actions playing Tier X ships and superships
will add an oh-so-desirable Supercontainer to your stock.
But that's not all! Now you can get several bonuses within a single battle.
You can find the information on how it works
in a dedicated article on our website.
Make sure to try out our take on a classic naval board game,
that we’re calling Warship Strike.
Sink enemy ships on the grid and try to beat your AI opponent.
The reward for a successful outcome is Festive Tokens.
These Tokens can be then exchanged for permanent camouflages,
bonus packages, economic bonuses, and containers holding signals and resources.
And how can an anniversary lack a festive collection?
Complete special combat missions, claim free bundles from the Armory,
and acquire the Seven Seas collection containers.
The collection tells the story of the historical ports
featured in World of Warships.
It comprises four sections with four elements in each.
For completing an entire section, you'll get a day of Warships Premium Account.
And for completing the entire collection,
you'll receive a bonus package for a Tier VII ship.
Another upcoming new feature is an update of Operations.
From now on, you can helm a larger number of your favorite
Tier VI–VIII ships when participating in this battle type.
We've also reworked a principle of obtaining rewards in this battle type.
Now, instead of getting Stars and one-time rewards,
you can complete combat missions for Operations
and get Community Tokens and a Supercontainer for doing so!
The scope of your reward at the outcome of a battle
will be additionally affected by secondary tasks you've completed.
By popular demand, we've brought the "Ultimate Frontier,"
"Hermes," and "Cherry Blossom" Operations back to the game.
Just to mention, playing in Operations with your friends and Clanmates
doubles the fun! So don't forget to form a Division before a battle!
As always, let me remind you that you can also receive pleasant rewards
for entering the game daily.
Now that the game news is done, let's proceed with the website news.
There is a lot of interesting stuff!
The week kicked off with a huge article about Update 0.11.8.
From reading it, you'll learn about all the improvements
introduced in the latest update.
Highly recommended reading!
An article about the updated Operations was published the following day.
You'll surely find exhaustive information about the changes
to this battle type in this article.
In the middle of the week, we published an Armada episode
dedicated to Spanish destroyer Álvaro de Bazán.
And there's one more article that will shed light
on all the activities related to the celebrations
of World of Warships’ anniversary.
In addition, we've prepared a real treasure map
that will guide you to rewards and gifts in World of Warships,
as well a chance to win a seven-day real-life cruise for two!
Today marks the start for collecting your replays
for another Sea Smackdown episode.
We're collecting your replays playing Tier IX U.S. battleship Iowa.
How can you send your replay so it has a chance
of being featured in our new episode?
You can find such guidelines in the dedicated article.
Read it carefully before heading into battle helming Iowa.
Today, a new issue of the Ship's Log has been released.
It contains all up-to-date information about the events,
discounts, and combat missions in World of Warships.
It's mandatory reading for all Captains!
And tomorrow will greet you with an article
on the rules and rewards of the new Brawls.
The first stage will be the most unusual and interesting—
3v3 playing Tier VIII aircraft carriers. Should be fun!
That was the last of the news for this week!
Natali was with you on top of the news wave!
See you in a week, Captains! Bye!
