A tier VIII USN premium should have printed money for them from day one.but it didn’t. In the midst of the Cesare drama, WG released the Wichita. Where would it end? Who got to decide whether or not a premium was “too good?” And most importantly, what was to stop WG from engaging in bait and switch tactics, such as releasing a ship, nerfing it, and then releasing a new ship that largely cloned the old ship’s performance?įortunately, we never had to find out. Forgetting that the evergreen nature of premiums is part of their appeal, for the company to be so flippant about taking the hammer to a bunch of ships that people paid for was a bigger problem than just the fate of Giulio Cesare. Those concerns were almost immediately justified when a WG talking head popped up and said that there were several more premium nerfs coming. There was a real sense of “we’ll teach you a lesson!” with how the nerf was announced and executed.Ī practical nerf to almost every aspect of a premium ship, with a simple “well you can just ask for a doubloon refund if you don’t like it” was not good business, and immediately seemed to presage a troubling shift in the company’s marketing philosophy. From the start WG acted like it was our fault that they failed to balance Giulio Cesare. Some people may want broken ships, but with many others it isn’t that simple. Ok, this will be a long one, but I feel the need to get it off of my chest. They wanted a clearly broken ship to stay where she was, the way she was.
