Greetings! We've received some questions about whose game it is. Let's make it clear and not leave any room for wild guesses🙂 The game is developed within Wargaming Saint-Petersburg, the studio which gave birth to World of Warships PC and some older titles before, back when it was known as Lesta Studio. The Legends team core was created long time ago (when the project was internally approved in Wargaming) with several key World of Warships PC developers and several newly hired console specialists. Since then the team has grown independently. It's still very compact compared to WoWS PC, because we can safely steal...uh...borrow...uh...share a lot of 3D assets from the PC game. As for the community relations, the key responsible figures are Sub_Octavian (me), Philigula (by the way we're both Phils and we're based in St. Pete studio as well - but we're not brothers) and a couple of great guys based in WoWS PC EU and NA teams. They will join us a bit later with community growth to ensure quality sustained communications in major languages and time zones. I was working on WoWS PC since Alpha, and many players know me very well. I made many mistakes and learned even more lessons, but overall, I hope I did manage to create a friendly, open and appealing dev-player interaction there, which in turn has helped a lot of player-driven changes to happen. Now I am intending to use all of my experience and efforts to make this community the best place for you guys. Philigula joined my team around a year ago. He's super fluent English speaker, energetic, and he actually likes Legends more than PC version. He also used to troll the rest of my team too much. Hence, he was appointed to do all the work while I relax and write PSAs like this 😛 Both of us are in tight contact with key developers, so rest assured, we won't be just "talking heads" - instead we will be pushing your questions, concerns and argument to the team, and vice versa - so that the game thrives. Of course there will be more people involved, but it will mostly be on service level, and will depend on work load. To sum up, the team is compact, experienced, tightly connected, and is willing to provide many great moments for you guys. I am counting on you as well, because very soon we will start building the base for the future game community together. How would we treat newcomers? Will we be able to foster friendly and interesting discussion? What would people say about Legends "playerbase"? It's all on us. We're excited about this challenge. By the way, we're going through your Alpha Test applications and there's a lot, no, A LOT of them. This level of engagement from you makes us smile! (Okay, it makes me smile as happily as I can, and probably makes Philigula work overnight and cry, but on average, we're smiling). Thank you! We will be telling you more about our progress, team and other interesting stuff in the days to come. Follow the news. And if you're interested in such blog-style updates, let us know in the comments and maybe hint at what are you interested in. Cheers!

Yeah my interestwould be less than zero if WGCB had anything to do with this games development. Lets hope for a better port this time around.

I 100% agree with the sentiment of many here. I would have absolutely zero interest in his game if it was being handled by WGCB. I have much more faith in WGSP, even if this team is only a sub-division of them.

That's not very nice. Can we all agree to keep a fresh, positive start to this new community? Please? This is a new game with a new team being supported by a fantastic studio! I hope we can all shake off whatever we're jaded about from Tenks and give the WoWSL folks a fair shake! Besides.... there's no way they'd drag Rai away from being Community Manager over there!

Hmmm....

Hardly recognised you without a grey name

This is quite a commendable initiative, gentlemen! A lot of onboarding is understanding whether you mix in with the player well, and here's hoping we can be as friendly and inviting as possible

Arrrrr dogs My eyes!! Quick need to wash my eyes out with some cats Cats will rule the sea

My Xbox is ready!

I am the other Phil and I approve of this message.

Общий привет, други! Ну что, дождались? Ура! Свистать всех наверх!

Captains! We're happy to announce that World of Warships: Legends, the tactical combat action for consoles developed by Wargaming Saint-Petersburg, is entering the closed alpha stage! If you've left us your credentials we're going to start some communications with you very soon and you'll get a chance to be among the first to try out the game! Meanwhile, feel free to browse around the forum and meet your fellow gamepad commanders, but please follow the Rules. Also, feel free to check out official community Discord! Stay tuned for more legendary news and prepare to Turn the Tide!

Seeing a few familiar names already but if you are coming here from WoT console drop a post in this thread so we can see who's joining the WoWs community. For those that dont know I'm Brick on the WoTC forums. Looking forward to sinking some battleships in the near future.

Since the WoT forum have been taken over and held hostage by the felines, I've decided to state my claim, and try and bring the good boy's and girl's to the forefront here. For too long, us pupper loving humans have been cast aside and silenced by the cat overlords, but no more shall we be silent, no more shall we bow down to their purrsecution. I am no longer afraid to admit it... My name's Boab, and I'm a dog person!!!

Well, since many of them come from WoTC, WoT, WoWsB or elsewhere, I've thought, why not introduce them to the fabulous world of warships and how to do it; easy, with a guide that is constantly updated, besides having reliable sources such as articles published by the developers, by members of the Wiki, as well as guides that can be found in the PC game forum. And well, I ask that if there's a problem, suggestion or something in the topic that needs a change, please quote what's wrong with editing it (since you can't edit it like Wikipedia T. T).

As with all of Wargaming’s properties, I’m sure WoWSL will have Community Contributors. Community Contributors(for those who don’t know) are Youtubers, Streamers, and other content creators who help Developers and Players through their efforts. CC’s produce a range of content from reviews and guides, to map tactics, funny torpedobeat compilations, or just by making pretty pictures. I’m quite certain we’ll see many of the established WoWs CC’s begin making WoWSL content as soon as they are allowed. I’m also quite certain that we’ll see lots of brand new CC’s for WoWSL and I look forward to their contributions. When the time comes I’m sure they’ll issue a call to arms to recruit new CC’s. For those who may be completely new to Warships, or interested in learning more, here’s a small handful of current WoWs CC’s who I find helpful, informative, and entertaining: Notser Flamu Flambass The Mighty Jingles Panzerknacker(German language) NoZoup4You Perhaps when the time comes this thread can be used to introduce new CC’s and basically keep a running list of current content creators for WoWSL! ps... please add any other WoWs CC’s you follow or watch to this thread!

Gracias Peppa.

Same here! When i first heard of the wows beta for pc i dreamed of a chance to see it go to console. Well? Dream came true!

Im so excited, the hype is real. Ive been waiting for a chance to play world of warships on the console sense i heard about the beta. At the time i didnt have a pc and missed the beta. Now i have opportunity to help the development team bring this game to console!

I agree. New game, different people, and a fresh start for some people on this forum. Good time to ditch any baggage you may have.

Apologies for that! Try this one: https://discord.gg/ANu6gb8

Those cat pics were pointless, cringy and contributed nothing.

That’s fair. Let’s just try to keep things positive over here in the WoWSL forums! It’s a new day and a new chance for all of us to behave better.

It's not a copy-paste from the PC seven tiers. Ships get reshuffled 🙂

Seven tiers for the actual game.

There will be a CC program for sure, but no earlier than we have ourselves an open beta. Just FYI iChase is an active CC Program member 🙂

LittleWhiteMouse's premium ship reviews help our (mine anyway) decisions whether to buy a premium or not. Until we know how close the WoWS Legend ships to those in WoWS PC, we won't know whether we can use LWM old reviews in this game

Being this game on, hurry. Cheers to the two Phils.

Who keeps letting die Katzen in. We need a lock or something. Until then, more good boi:

That's what we hope to do, show the new players that they are just as welcome into the community as the veterans. Personally, I've dealt with too many toxic communities that just want to kick new people in the teeth because they aren't coming to the game already skilled and well-versed in its tactics and systems. Which is why I'm also glad to see @Peppa Chan starting his Beginner's Guide initiative. There are good people here and hopefully we can pass that good along.

Captain Cat is with you, XEboi 😼

Willkommen Tanknoob ^^ Wenn mal Fragen zu PC WoWs bestehen dann immer raus damit 🙂 Suistar und ich können euch so gut wie alles beantworten.

Thanks Phil and Phil.

Shh! Don't share this with anybody! http://wiki.wargaming.net/en/World_of_Warships

Phil, thank you for bringing us up to date on the team make up and how this is all coming together. Very much looking forward to working on this project.

I hope she does

K I T A K A M I

You posted the wrong pic... Lemme fix that for ya..

Blimey! Never heard of thee. Come to test the waters of console, I see. I wish you luck. The sea is angry and flows red.

I can’t wait!

Legends will be GREAT like his PC Sister ❤️ 🙂

Yep, I feel like a complete moron... Right at the bottom of question five "At the alpha stage you'll be able to try out the Japanese and American ships." I am taking it we're getting the 36-39 ships sans CVs from these two lines up to tier VII and playing with those. And for a what I am assuming will be a very limited time frame those ships will more than satisfy, and I am perfectly content with all this, but there is this one clawing thing I can't help but shake. A sluggish beast down in the pit of the lower tiers, something forged by nightmares and rage. It sings its discordant songs yet again. It knows we approach its furiously guarded gate for the first time in years and no Free XP will sidestep it this time. We must do battle with it...the beast hungers for our tears......

I have no life.... glad I’m not alone.... I’m glad to see so many Tankers sticking their noses out of the hatches to take in the salty air! I’ll have you all know that I sing Irish music and Sea Shanties professionally and I will gladly take up the post of Ship’s Minstrel or Shantyman. Oh the year was 1778....

Wargaming Chicago( world of tanks console) is not a very popular group amongst the veteran WOT console playerbase on the forums.

Fantastic. In that case, I'm going to try signing up for the beta.

Competitive Game Play and some emphasis on clans. Let's get the team work and strategies started right off the bat.

From the game support side, a good community manager like RaiBot01 from WoT console. As well as the interaction we get from Geoff and the other developers there.
