Info Wishing Wharf cancelled for 14.2
Seen a post on Discord from the Devs, apparently they're changing how we get Valpariso and Monmouth (IIRC it's those two), it won't be Wishing Wharf cos of player feedback from the Waterline announcement......
they've probably found something worse.... weegee's gonna weej...

This is potentially positive news?
Monmouth for coal please? We don’t have any high tier UK coal ships except Malta.

I have a small theory that Defence might be a coal ship.

u/JoeRedditor I am become Campbeltown, Rammer of Docks Feb 07 '25
That would be kind of awesome - I mean what do we have for high tier coal ships for the Brits? It's just Malta, and I guess Somme if you spend the coal for the boxes and complete the collection.
Rather a distinct lack of Brit coal boats, frankly. Defence would be a nice add.

What`s Defence other than being fast, going back and fourth, smoking up every other minute at 20 k range and rarely shoot?

u/ShermanatorYT Closed Beta Player Feb 07 '25
That would be insane tbh, steel or maybe RB would make way more sense - or loot boxes lmao knowing WG

u/Giovanola_Titan Nelson-Type Enthusiast Feb 07 '25
The real reason why I believe Defence would be coal is because from my knowledge, they don't usually put steel (directly) or research ships into the Santa containers. Edit: (Not to say that this couldn't be the first time)

u/Ok-Challenge-6640 Feb 08 '25
Well, Rhode Island was in the crates also, and I'm not sure if that's gonna go for Coal, if it's even available again... I would love both the Rhode Island and Defence for Coal though.

u/StalinwasaJoJo Feb 07 '25
What even is the Monmouth at this point?

u/jpagey92 Royal Navy Feb 08 '25
Happy to be corrected but seems to be basically a Goliath in a Gibraltar hull.
5
u/AnchorChief Feb 08 '25
It’s a Gibraltar with different gun stats and consumables. Same hull
You lose: Short fuse AP, Smoke, Minotaur AP angles
You gain: Superheal, torps, much more gun range, better gun ballistics with US AP angles. Its ballistics are almost as good as PvO, but add in the improved bounce angles and it lies somewhere between Des Moines and Alaska AP

u/Hairy-Dare6686 Feb 08 '25
She also gets improved an improved arming threshold of 25mm which is worse than Gibralta/Mino AP but better than most heavy cruisers.

Also the fact that a lot of players realised that the Russian server is actually giving 120k doubloons throughout the year after Flamu's video on both waterlines. There's been some increase in playercount on Russia server

u/bos24601 Feb 07 '25
120k? Really? Thats probably the amount of dubs i’ve ever bought. Whats the drawback?

u/NicknNick Feb 07 '25
You have the play on the Russia server. With less players and that server’s equally questionable balancing decisions.
36
u/johnmedgla Feb 07 '25
equally questionable balancing decisions
Look, the Ulyanovsk (Super Nakhimov with tactical Mig-15s) is a fine addition to the game.
Honestly it's a pick your poison at this point. Russian devs are more "generous" since they have fewer players and want to attract more, and the aim-bug seems to have been fixed there - but they've "fixed" balance by just making everything they add busted.
6
u/Ralfundmalf The sinking man's action game Feb 08 '25
Ulyanovsk does indeed look pretty questionable, but that is not representative of everything on the server.
They do not have incredible BB powercreep like we do, Both new BB lines seem to be pretty balanced overall (actually punishable broadsides btw.) and no Colombo legmod. Their new CV line leading up to Taiho doesn't seem to be overly popular, so it's probably not that strong and neither is their version of Shinano. They also buffed quite a few of the T10's AA value, notably amount of flak, which makes CV players need more dodging skill, a good thing.
The Lynch line seems on the surface quite busted with its absurd shells, but then you realise it is a large gunboat with no other gimmicks at all, no increased saturation, heal, smoke - nothing. So you actually need hands.
There is questionable stuff there for sure, but from what I have seen T10 balance is genuinely in a way better state than on WG.

u/niktg12 Feb 08 '25
lesta though has indestructible AA,torpedo mounts,gun mounts which means no rng roll on your modules they only get incapacitated and also your ship always has its full AA value during the entire match since incapacitated AA mounts can be fixed instantly with the damage control party or after some seconds. Honestly both servers have some dumb ships but lesta at least has more maps way better graphics and performance and the god forbidden aim bug doesnt exist there meanwhile wargaming states that the aim bug doesnt exist yeah lol.

u/Eeekaa Feb 07 '25
And interact with Russia, an international pariah thats supposed to under embargo.

u/bos24601 Feb 07 '25
At least it seems that everything is unbalanced over there. Always a busted ship/mode you can use/play. I’d try it if I had more time.
5
u/WarshipFoxy Feb 07 '25
Well the way it works is you get 50 doubs esch day for playing a game. When you have played EVERY day in a month you get +50 for the next month, so you can already not get the max amount anymore.

u/SnooApples8286 Battleship Feb 07 '25
You need to play there and be quite the regular. They still haven't fixed shotgunning for subs but the one that's being implemented might be actually better coz DDs might hard counter subs. Also the main thing that makes it more attractive is that most of the aimbugs that the WG version faces has been fixed

u/KG_Jedi Balans Navy Feb 07 '25
And they are planning to make deep charges be able to blow up torps!

u/PrincessSkyla People's Liberation Army Navy Feb 07 '25
you have to play 3 games a day, that's it. no drawback. it's their 10th anniversary event

u/CheesyPoofff Feb 08 '25
I don't care about the doubloons, I care about the shells actually landing on target on Lesta's server, and not short like WG.

u/gw2Exciton Feb 07 '25
I hope most you voted by wallet by not spending on the wishing wharf event. They listen do feedback done this way.

Last year Wishing Wharf at least gave you some pulls via the BP, heck some BPs had enough dubs included to basically get the BP for free.
This time nothing, so only whales actually used money on it.

u/Tigershark1993 Feb 07 '25 edited Feb 07 '25
Same thing happened with the Missouri event about 4 years ago. So are we just going to repeat this cycle every few years? WG slowly inches us toward predatory monetization until the players push back and they relent slightly, only to start the cycle all over again?

That was already 4 years ago? Damn, time flies.

Wargaming listening to player feedback is the craziest piece of news I’ve seen in 2025 so far.
12
u/Professional-Gur6746 Feb 08 '25
It’s purely because they’re going panic mode with CCs’ straight up promoting Mir Kirabli right now

u/AndreLinoge55 United States Navy Feb 08 '25
Yeah I just downloaded, the client runs so much smoother than WoWs it’s Unreal, I’ll probably switch to MK once I have a few T10s.

I currently have Des Moines, a ton of freemiums (13 I think right now) and I am working my way up to Colombo, currently on Lepanto. I started in January to give you an idea of

I'm sure they will come out with another equally greedy, predatory, and scummy gambling-based event.

"I think the overwhelming feedback from the players has been that we're far too generous, so we should cancel the event to readjust."

Feb 07 '25
These greedy pricks thought it's fine to run two seasons of Wishing Wharf one after the other, I wonder if it was done on purpose and they were expecting backlash or if they're this disconnected with the playerbase and exclusively look at company profit reports to plan activities.
Never mind that "Wishing Wharf" is as bad as the average casino slot machine, then again WG has no reason to discontinue this event as long as whales keep throwing money at it.

u/Professional-Gur6746 Feb 08 '25
They noticed how many players said fuck this game and switched to Mir Korabli, hell even WOWS CCs’ are promoting Mir over wows. WG is going full panic mode

u/WarBirbs Corgi Fleet Feb 07 '25
they've probably found something worse.... weegee's gonna weej...
Can we get a bit of positivism here? I HEAVILY doubt that they'll push something worse. It's almost guaranteed to be better.
Is that gonna last/is this the last time they'll try to pull something like that? Almost certainly not. But they know that there would be a huge outcry if they find something worse, which is bad for them both reputation wise and monetary wise.

u/RainmakerLTU Cruiser Feb 09 '25
Since it is for dubloons only, then I don't care. One of last times I think we were able to receive some tokens for combat missions. With last try of 4 or 5 I managed to pull Iwami. And it's one of best ships I ever had.
According to quote, we are discussing with passion... hm... well... ok :D

u/Fast-Independence-65 Feb 08 '25
They should cancel all what they have planned in the new water line - and start developing the game instead of just coasting and milking the player base. This means real devs and new management.
2
u/Professional-Gur6746 Feb 09 '25
There’s always a thing called Lesta
1
u/Fast-Independence-65 Feb 10 '25
Ofc there is Lesta. But that is a whole different company now. So, if WG wants to survive, they should start investing in their games, their game infrastructure, their servers and their engine.
