The Dockyard: Build Anchorage

One of the new features of Update 0.9.8 is the Dockyard, where you'll be able to construct Anchorage.

VIII Anchorage is a multipurpose heavy cruiser that performs best when fighting at short and medium ranges. The ship is armed with twelve 203 mm guns mounted in four triple turrets, making her capable of unleashing a weighty salvo. Anchorage's AP shells have enhanced ricochet angles like those of the researchable American heavy cruisers. The Hydroacoustic Search consumable and torpedo armament she carries enable Anchorage to perform effectively in close quarters combat, while her Smoke Generator—a feature not typically found on American heavy cruisers—will help her escape situations where she finds herself under concentrated enemy fire.

Rules of the Event ● Directives ● Rewards

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]




[h2]Rules of the Event[/h2]
The rules of the new Dockyard are similar to those of the Hamburg Dockyard:
  • The shipbuilding process is divided into 20 phases.
  • These phases can be completed by progressing through Directives of the event, purchasing discounted Starter Packs, or exchanging 1,750 doubloons for each phase.
  • The Directives will span two updates—0.9.8 and 0.9.9, and the Dockyard itself will remain in your Ports until the end of Update 0.9.10.
  • In total, you can complete 18 out of 20 shipbuilding phases by progressing through Directives. Two of the 20 phases must be completed by spending doubloons.
  • VIII Anchorage and her National camouflage, along with a 10-skill Commander, Port slot, and commemorative flag, await you upon completion of the 20th phase.


[h2]Directives[/h2]
The new game event has 48 missions spread across six Directives. The first Directive will become available with the release of Update 0.9.8, while those that follow will be unlocked each week.

Completing each Directive will progress you through three shipbuilding phases:
  • Two shipbuilding phases are completed by accomplishing specific missions that form part of the Directive.
  • One shipbuilding phase is completed by finishing the entire Directive.
    Detailed information about the Directives is available in the game client.

[h2]Rewards[/h2]
By progressing through missions of the Directives, you can complete 18 out of 20 shipbuilding phases and obtain the corresponding rewards at the Dockyard.

By accomplishing the first two Directives, you can complete up to six shipbuilding phases and obtain the following rewards:
  • 7,500 Coal
  • 1 day of Warships Premium Account
  • 2x Gift containers, holding five special signals each
  • 10x Stars'n'Stripes camouflages

Completing four out of the six Directives will progress you through up to twelve shipbuilding phases and grant you even more valuable rewards:
  • 100,000 Free XP
  • 7,500 Coal
  • 4 days of Warships Premium Account
  • 10x signals of each of the following types: Wyvern, Dragon, and Scylla
  • 2x Gift containers
  • 15x Stars'n'Stripes camouflages

Accomplishing all Directives of the event will progress you through 18 shipbuilding phases and grant you all the available rewards:
  • 100,000 Free XP
  • 7,500 Coal
  • 4 days of Warships Premium Account
  • 10x signals of each of the following types: Hydra, Basilisk, Scylla, Leviathan, Dragon, Red Dragon, Ouroboros, and Wyvern
  • 7x Gift containers
  • 15x Stars'n'Stripes camouflages

In order to complete the 19th and 20th phases, in addition to progressing through all the Directives, you'll need to spend doubloons to pass through any two shipbuilding phases.
  • Reward for completing phase 19: 10,000 Coal
  • Final reward: VIII Anchorage in the National camouflage, a Commander with 10 skill points, Port slot, and a commemorative flag

If you would rather not wait, you can complete all the shipbuilding phases in exchange for doubloons and thus obtain all the available rewards immediately. If you decide to complete construction of the ship at the Dockyard by using doubloons, you can still progress through the Directives. In that case, you'll get 600 Research Points for each completed phase instead of the standard rewards. Thus, you can earn up to 10,800 Research Points in total. If you haven't yet accessed the Research Bureau, you'll gain access to it immediately with the first Research Points you earn. At the same time, you'll receive 10,000 Research Points as a one-time reward and unlock the possibility to earn Research Points by completing Daily Missions.

If you want to complete shipbuilding phases at a discount, you can purchase two Starter Packs:
  • Two shipbuilding phases for 3,000 doubloons
  • Eight shipbuilding phases for 8,000 doubloons
    Please note: you can purchase the Starter Packs only before you complete the first four shipbuilding phases by progressing through Directives of the event.

[h2]World of Warships Anniversary[/h2]


With Update 0.9.8, World of Warships is celebrating its Fifth Anniversary! The festive Update offers a bunch of gifts and in-game activities: a permanent Campaign titled "Five Epochs of the Navy," plus a collection of the same name; fresh first-win bonuses, a revamped Designer's Table Port, and a new battle type—Asymmetric Battles.

[h3]Permanent "Five Epochs of the Navy" Campaign[/h3]


The "Five Epochs of the Navy" Campaign comprises 50 tasks grouped into five missions, each of which is dedicated to a specific shipbuilding epoch. To finish the Campaign, you'll need to complete tasks playing ships of various tiers: starting from Tier II–IV ships for the first mission, and progressing to Tiers VIII–X for the final mission.
    Reward for finishing the Campaign: Epoch permanent camouflage for Tier IX ships.

https://steamcommunity.com/games/552990/announcements/detail/2846792783415563078

[h3]"Five Epochs of the Navy" Collection[/h3]


The "Five Epochs of the Navy" collection is made up of five sections, with six elements in each. Each section is dedicated to a specific period in the history of shipbuilding.

Only "Five Epochs of the Navy" containers drop collectibles.
    The reward for completing the entire collection: Epoch permanent camouflage for Tier IX ships.
    The Epoch permanent camouflage can be mounted on any Tier IX ship, except for IX AL Sov. Rossiya. Once mounted on a ship, the camouflage remains assigned to that ship. Another copy of the camouflage can be assigned to a different ship.

https://steamcommunity.com/games/552990/announcements/detail/2846792783415563078

[h3]Victory Bonuses[/h3]
During Update 0.9.8, you can expect a festive bonus for your first victories of the Update with certain ships. It can be secured on ships starting from Tier V:
  • Tiers V–VII: 2x World of Warships Anniversary camouflage patterns
  • Tier VIII: 1x Gift container
  • Tier IX: 2x Gift containers
  • Tier X: 1x supercontainer

[h2]Asymmetric Battles[/h2]
Starts: Thu. 03 Sep. 07:00 CEST (UTC+2) Ends: Thu. 17 Sep. 07:00 CEST (UTC+2)

  • In an Asymmetric Battle, a team of five to seven Tier VII–VIII ships will confront a team of nine to twelve ships of Tiers V–VI.
  • To enter battle with Tier VII–VIII ships, you'll need to spend a new temporary resource—Battle Tokens. The cost of entering a battle playing Tier VII–VIII ships is 500 Battle Tokens.
  • Battle Tokens can be earned in Asymmetric Battles:
    • Tier V: 250 Tokens per battle
    • Tier VI: 150 Tokens per battle
    • Tier VII: 200 Tokens per battle
    • Tier VIII: 25 Tokens per battle
    • You'll receive 1,000 Tokens each day upon logging in to the game.
    • Tokens are earned irrespective of the battle results, but players will not be awarded them if they are inactive.
    Please note: Battle Tokens are only used to participate in Asymmetric Battles. With the release of Update 0.9.9 all Battle Tokens will be converted into credits at a rate of 1:50. Asymmetric Battles become available after reaching Access Level 12.

https://steamcommunity.com/games/552990/announcements/detail/2846792783415563078

[h2]Dockyard[/h2]


Another new feature of Update 0.9.8 is the Dockyard, where you'll be able to construct VIII Anchorage. The rules of the new Dockyard are in many ways similar to those applied to the Hamburg Dockyard, but the list of rewards for completing the shipbuilding phases has changed. For example, completing phase 12 will bring you 100,000 Free XP.

  • The construction process of the Dockyard comprises 20 phases.
  • Each shipbuilding phase can be completed by finishing the Directives of the event, or by spending 1,750 doubloons per phase.
  • The Directives will span two updates—0.9.8 and 0.9.9, and the Dockyard itself will remain in your Ports until the end of Update 0.9.10.
  • You can complete 18 out of 20 shipbuilding phases by accomplishing Directives. In order to complete the 19th and 20th phases, in addition to completing all the Directives, you'll need to purchase any two shipbuilding phases by spending doubloons.
  • VIII Anchorage and her National camouflage, along with a 10-skill Commander, Port slot, and commemorative flag, await you upon completing the 20th phase.
    The full details will be published in a dedicated article.

In Update 0.9.8, the customary Daily Shipments will be replaced with free daily random bundles in the Armory:
  • You can only obtain one bundle per day.
  • A total of 15 bundles will be available during the period of three weeks, so you can skip up to 6 days and still be able to collect all the rewards.

  • 50 doubloons—1x bundle

[h2]Visual Improvements[/h2]


The visual display of fog in the game has been enhanced by adopting an updated spacial distribution system and adding a scattered sunlight effect. Apart from improving the visual component, this change will also provide a slight improvement in the game client's performance.

In collaboration with Hasbro and Takara Tomy, the following items have been added:
  • Freedom Fighter permanent camo for X Montana, Gold Bug permanent camo for X Gearing, Messenger of Oblivion permanent camo for X Großer Kurfürst, and the Crush’n’Destroy permanent camo for X Khabarovsk.

  • Chang’e with a specialization for Pan-Asian and Japanese ships
  • Hou Yi with a specialization for Pan-Asian ships
  • Kaguya with a specialization for Japanese ships


The Anniversary commemorative flag and the For Meritorious Service patch have been added into the game.
    Details on how to get these items will be published later.

To make the process of researching ships simpler, the following changes have been made to VIII Admiral Hipper's modules:
  • Hull A has been removed from the game.
  • Hulls B and C have been renamed "A" and "B," respectively.
  • If you have already researched Hull B, you'll receive compensation in the amount of 22,000 ship XP.
  • If you have already researched Hull C, the new Hull B will be mounted on your ship instead. In other cases Hull A will be mounted on the ship.
  • If you've already purchased one of the replacement hulls, you'll receive compensation in the amount of credits you paid for it.

The stock hull of V Königsberg has been replaced with a new one, created on the basis of the researchable hull with a changed composition for the AA and secondary guns.

English-language audio for Naval Legends has been added into the game client:
  • To listen to Naval Legends directly in battle, you need to enable the "Listen to your own music" option in the sound settings.
  • If you already use your own music as background sound, then Naval Legends will be added to your playlist.
  • In case you opt to remove Naval Legends from your playlist, you need to remove the respective audio files from the bin//res/userMusiс folder in the game client.

Ships VIII Belfast '43 and V Oklahoma have been added for testing by developers, volunteers, and community contributors.

[h2]Other Changes and Improvements[/h2]
  • Occurrence of a synchronization error has been reduced. This bug caused the incorrect display of ships' positions in battle.
  • Thunderstorm Front and Snowstorm are available in the game again.
  • Plus other improvements and changes. The full list is available from Player Support.

World of Warships Anniversary!

With the release of Update 0.9.8, World of Warships begins its Fifth Anniversary celebration!

The festive Update is inspired by the history of shipbuilding and will bring many new features to the game: the revamped Designer's Table Port, the “Five Epochs of the Navy” permanent Campaign and collection of the same name, a new battle type, and fresh first-victory bonuses.

Anniversary ● First-Victory Bonuses ● “Five Epochs of the Navy” Campaign ● "Five Epochs of the Navy" Collection ● Asymmetric Battles ● Marathon with Gifts and a Festive Stream

[h2]Anniversary[/h2] Starts: Thu. 03 Sep. 07:00 CEST (UTC+2) Ends: Wed. 30 Sep. 07:00 CEST (UTC+2)

As we cross the threshold of our fifth year, we're marking the occasion by offering you an array of gifts and fresh in-game activities.

Join the celebrations by entering the updated Designer’s Table Port, which has changed a lot over the past year and become even more festive—we've added a cake, postcards, confetti, and ribbons creatively scattered on the table. The collection of ship models has also been updated with new representatives!



[h2]First-Victory Bonuses[/h2]
Be sure to take a careful look at your ship carousel. Ships with a first-victory bonus applied will be marked with a special symbol. During Update 0.9.8, players will be able to receive a festive bonus for their first victories playing specific ships in Random, Co-op, Ranked, and Asymmetric Battles, as well as in Operations.



[h3]List of Rewards[/h3]
  • Tiers V–VII: 2x World of Warships Anniversary camouflages
  • Tier VIII: 1x Gift container
  • Tier IX: 2x Gift containers
  • Tier X: 1x supercontainer

A Gift container holds five special signals of the same type (Dragon, Red Dragon, Wyvern, Ouroboros, Hydra, Basilisk, Scylla, or Leviathan).
    You can receive the first-victory bonus for each ship only once during Update 0.9.8. The bonuses will also be applied to ships purchased, bought back, or dropped from containers during Update 0.9.8.

[h2]“Five Epochs of the Navy” Campaign[/h2]
The new permanent Campaign comprises 50 tasks grouped into five missions, each of which is dedicated to a specific shipbuilding epoch. To finish the Campaign, you'll need to complete tasks playing ships of various tiers: starting from Tier II–IV ships for the first mission, and progressing to Tiers VIII–X for the final mission. Most of the tasks must be completed playing certain ships related to the history of the navy. For example, some of the tasks of the first mission are inspired by the development of battleship building technologies and should be completed playing battleships of this era, such as III South Carolina, III Kawachi, IV Gangut, or III Dreadnought—all of which contributed to the adoption of the name given to this period of naval history.



However, you can complete the Campaign, collect all the containers of the new collection, and obtain the final reward by completing the first three tasks of each mission playing any ships of the relevant tiers.

The reward for completing the Campaign is an Epoch permanent camouflage, which can be mounted on any one Tier IX ship, except for IX AL Sov. Rossiya.


The first mission will become available with the release of Update 0.9.8, while those that follow will be unlocked each week.
    Please note: you can complete tasks of each mission multiple times. This will allow you to continue earning Stars with each completion, but you'll receive the reward for completing the task for the first time only.

[h2]"Five Epochs of the Navy" Collection[/h2]
Update 0.9.8 ushers in the "Five Epochs of the Navy" collection, which comprises five sections with six elements in each. Each section is dedicated to a specific period in the naval history of the first half of the 20th century—from ships of the dreadnought era to those of World War II and the post-war years. Having completed the entire collection, you'll have learned about the construction history, design features, and fates of prominent representatives of each shipbuilding epoch.

    The reward for completing each section is 1 day of Warships Premium Account. The reward for completing the entire collection is an Epoch permanent camouflage.

Elements of the collection can only be obtained from the containers of the same name. The exchange rate for duplicate elements is 1:1. To exchange duplicates, you need to select a vacant slot in a collection section and confirm that you want to exchange your duplicates for the missing item in the window that appears.

You can obtain 30 "Five Epochs of the Navy" containers by completing tasks of the same-name Campaign. You can also obtain containers for participating in the official World of Warships streams! To do so, activate bonus codes given during the streams and then complete special combat missions.

[h3]A "Five Epochs of the Navy" container includes:[/h3]
  • One element of the "Five Epochs of the Navy" collection.
  • 1x World of Warships Anniversary camouflage.
  • One of the following items: 2x signals of the same type (Zulu, Papa Papa, Equal Speed Charlie London or India Bravo Terrathree); or 500 Free XP; or 50,000 credits.

[h2]Asymmetric Battles[/h2] Start: Wed. 02 Sep. 07:00 CEST (UTC+2) End: Wed. 16 Sep. 07:00 CEST (UTC+2)

We invite you to take part in Asymmetric Battles—a new temporary battle type with teams of different sizes and tiers.

The new battle type is inspired by actual historical battles, which usually took place with an unequal number of ships on each side.

[h3]Asymmetric Battles Rules[/h3]
  • A team of 5–7 Tier VII–VIII ships will fight against a team of 9–12 Tier V–VI ships in Domination mode. The types and numbers of ships are matched in such a way that the forces of both teams in battle are as equal as possible.
  • Battles will be fought on the following maps: Ultimate Frontier, Naval Station Newport, and Killer Whale.


  • To enter battle playing Tier VII–VIII ships, you'll need 500 Battle Tokens—a new temporary resource.
  • The Tokens are earned in Asymmetric Battles, regardless of the battle results. However, you won't receive the Tokens if you are inactive in battle.
    • Tier V: 250 Tokens per battle
    • Tier VI: 150 Tokens per battle
    • Tier VII: 200 Tokens per battle
    • Tier VIII: 25 Tokens per battle
    • You'll receive 1,000 Tokens each day upon logging in to the game.
  • If the waiting time spent by the first player in the queue exceeds 3 minutes, the teams in Asymmetric Battle can be complemented with bots.
  • You cannot form Divisions in Asymmetric Battles.
  • There will be no battle achievements in Asymmetric Battles.
    Please note: Battle Tokens are only used to participate in Asymmetric Battles.

A special combat mission is available for Tier V–VI ships. Completing the mission will reward you with four Gift containers. You'll find the details in the game client.

[h2]Marathon with Gifts and a Festive Stream[/h2]
We invite you to watch the best episodes of the Naval Legends series and enjoy some gifts in the process!

Be on the lookout for bonus codes shown in each episode of the historical marathon. As with the in-game Daily Shipments, all gifts are revealed in advance! Each bonus code will unlock a chain of combat missions. Complete all of them to get four containers of the new "Five Epochs of the Navy" collection and 1,000,000 credits!

Want even more gifts? If we manage to get the indicated number of new subscribers by the time each video is published, the reward of credits will be replaced with Сoal. If we get the specified number of subscribers on all episodes, completing the combat missions will bring you 10,000 Coal in total!

The first episode goes live on September 7—be sure to watch it! We'll publish all the conditions of the cinemarathon and gifts in a dedicated article on September 5!
    Join our festive stream in honor of the project’s Fifth Anniversary on September 17! Let’s celebrate this special event together! Many gifts, interesting guests, and an ocean of positivity await you! We look forward to seeing you out on our virtual seas!
