Special Features of the Test

For the purpose of testing the new mechanics, the cost of building structures and the duration of ship construction in the Dockyard will be reduced. However, please note that any shipbuilding progress will be reset when Round 2 of the Public Test begins. For this reason, you can obtain the reward for building a ship twice on the live server.

Opinion on the New Year Event and Logbook

I was legitimately impressed by what Wargaming baked us for this year.

The whole event around building the Puerto Rico is simply fantastic with the possibility to watch all the steps for the construction of the ship. It is… surprisingly satisfying to watch with the different sections of armor being mounted, the engines being installed, the guns being fitted on the turrets, etc. It is quite amazing to watch the progress of the construction.

The only sad part is that you can only see that once while it would have been nice to see, once we complete it, a timelapse of the construction that we can rewatch as much as we want while having control of the camera.

I also hope that it won’t end up being a massive grind fest because it would be a waste that only a few players can the ship and by such go through the whole construction.

For the logbook, it is actually a pretty cool addition for the people who are really focused on collecting the different patches, ships, camouflages or commanders.
