Starting mid-week of next week and running through the end of the month, we’
ll be testing a discount on repair costs of high tier ships. All tech tree
(non-Premium) ships Tier VIII – X will have their repair costs discounted by
approximately 20%. Nope, it’s not an April Fool’s joke – we’re serious!
從下個禮拜中到月底我們將對所有科技樹內T8~T10非金幣船的修理費用下降20%
"這不是愚人節玩笑" "我們很認真的"
This test has begun on the RU server, but we wanted to let everyone know that
you’ll be included as part of the test as well!
這個測試會從RU sever先開始，不過其他玩家也不用擔心爽不到。
We’ll be looking at the data generated for the month, in order to determine
potential changes for the future. We also would love to hear your feedback
once you start to actually see the discount in game!
我們會看這次測試的結果來決定是不是讓這變成常態。
Please remember this is only a test, and we’ll need to analyze a month’s
worth of data before we consider any potential permanent changes!
這只是個測試，因為我們需要數據來考慮這些永久性改變。
Now for the Saipan news, from NA CC NikoPower:
賽班的新聞
In a short answer, it is coming very soon. It is in the finishing stages of
being balanced and ready for your maximum enjoyment. We want to make sure
that those who choose to use her will enjoy every minute of battle. It did
take a bit longer than expected and for that, we apologize. We definitely don
’t want to put the Saipan out there broken. When it is ready, very soon, we
will be sure to let you know about it ASAP.
賽班即將要登場，已經接近最後階段而且準備好要讓玩家爽了。
我們要確保買了的玩家能爽，所以要請大家稍等一下。
但是賽班真的Coming soon，這新聞只是要讓你們知道我們會ASAP推出賽班打油。

他也說了
Good news is, soon doesn’t mean soon™ this time.
I will say though that it will be easy for you to get your hands on one.
好消息是這次不是soon™
而且會讓玩家很簡單的就能入手一台

This time coming from Boyarsky, NA WoWS dev.
-yes, I can see premium IJN CV in the development pipeline. But it will take
time, can’t confirm it for nearest future. Also, depending on Saipan’s
feedback it may be re-prioritized.
-in 2016 there will be more famous american warships released following
Saipan. We are working on a promotional campaign around them, so I don’t
want to spoil it too soon.
4/1最後發過了，IJN cv coming soon™，2016會上許多有名的美國船。
-we like ARP stuff and there will be more interesting content and events
based on this partnership. Some other clusters have already released the
portions of new content.
我們覺得海霧艦很有趣，基於合作關係，有些地方所以也釋出了其他活動消息。
We decided to deffer it for later, when there will be more content available
for publishing at once.
我們決定將他延期，當我們有更多內容我們才會一次把他推出。
Another point is to avoid too much overlap between different major events so
that players can’t choose what to work on in the game.
另外一點是為了讓玩家避免被這些活動卡死，完全不能作其他事情。
％編按: ASIA那個kuso kirishima game你們看到了嗎？
-Hey guys, sorry for the silence. Too many things going on – new patch
release, Saipan balancing stuff, Camo Madness, now April Fools mode… plus
all future planning.
太多東西要搞了，新版本、賽班平衡、迷彩還有愚人節活動加上未來的計畫。
But I talked with RU Wiki Manager and now it’s clear for me what to do next.
不過我和毛子那邊的人談過了，所以我現在知道接下來我要幹嘛了。
First, we need to localize the existing templates and widgets for in-game
ships, so that they pull all ship stats properly. This will require some time
and tech work.
Second, I’ll grab our content and militaria guys to come up with a good
structure for historical articles.
Third, we will prioritize them and make a calendar schedule. Also we need to
translate the guidelines for participants from RU + a list of recommended and
trustworthy sources.
Then we will start running writing contests here with help of Niko. Our
content guy and militaria specialist (few volunteers too) will review the
submissions and evaluate them on 1-5 scale.
Another score is based on a % of original content (we will use a software
tool to check for copy-paste). There will be an incentive system with good
rewards too, but I need to check with legal guys on that first. Maybe the way
it works in Russia will require adjustments here in US. How they operate –
they distribute bonus points (somewhat equal to doubloons in value) among
top 3-5 winners and then the contributors redeem those points in a special
wiki-store with exclusive offers not available for general public. Top
contributors also receive a special commemorative flag.
Of course there will be an opportunity to contribute outside of contests.
In addition to the historical articles and the articles on in-game ships
there will be a possibility to organize player guides, tutorials, strategies
etc.
So that the content you guys create gains more visibility for newcomers and
lives longer.
In future we might hire someone to manage all the activities around EN wiki.
That’s the plan at the moment. Thanks for your support and enthusiasm! Stay
tuned for future announcements.
講了一堆，簡單的來說，他們要找志願者去編EN版的wiki就是了，會有獎勵。
