Blitz Pass
Get ready for the Blitz Pass, starting 1 October 2019! This special event will reward you with a TON of goodies, simply by playing the game!
- Play Random, Ranked, or Team Skirmish battles and gain XP to progress through the Blitz Pass.
- Go through the levels to win a variety of rewards, including camouflages, resources, and more!
- This very first Blitz Pass will contain exclusive Halloween content and a new Premium ship!
- Each Blitz Pass level requires the same amount of XP to progress.
- Campaigns and Battles vs A.I. do not count towards the Blitz Pass.
- On top of the free rewards, there is also a “Blitz Pass” track. These rewards unlock after purchasing the Blitz Pass IAP.
- You will be able to skip levels using Gold.
- After the Blitz Pass event has ended, you will have a couple of days to claim your rewards.
Stay tuned for more information, coming soon!
New Map: Haunted Sea
- Tier: VII - X
- Mode: Domination
- Haunted Sea has a very unique map layout, with point A and B being right next to each other but separated by a large island. C is bigger and more isolated from the other two points, but is in the perfect position to provide fire support to those contesting A and B.
- As the name suggests, this sea is unlike the others, with spooky new islands!
MVP Screen
- After the battle has ended, the MVP of the match will be shown for everyone to see.
- This information includes the player name, fleet tag, portrait, and ship info.
Premium Account: Revamp
We have merged Premium Account and Passes into one Premium account. Combining the best of both worlds, this change gives you more value for the same price.
- The Passes tab has been removed, now only “Premium Account” is available in the shop.
- The new Premium Account tab has combined the old Passes with Premium account into two new options: Weekly and Monthly Premium Subscriptions.
- These new subscriptions give you both the benefit of Passes and Premium Account, but at the same price as before!
- Upon purchasing, you will receive Gold immediately. Silver, Free XP, and Premium Account can be claimed daily.
- If you have a weekly and/or monthly pass active, the remaining days will be automatically transferred into the new system.
Level up Commanders using Gold
- As an alternative to Free XP, you can now also use Gold to level up your Commanders.
- Gold has been set to the default choice. Click on the arrow to switch to Free XP.
- The more XP your Commander has on his current level, the less the Gold cost to level up will be.
Other Improvements and Changes
- You can now find your ship XP in the Port, by tapping the ship details icon on the right side.
- Map name has been added back to the battle results screen, in the top left corner.
- To avoid ties, the Team Skirmish player leaderboard ranking has been changed to: Victories > Win Rate > Total damage.
- Three new common German commanders have been added: Konrad Richter, Adalbert Zimmer, and Heinrich Klein.
- New portraits have been added to the League, Seasonal, and Special tabs!
- The Daily Container button has been moved to the top of the Port, to make space for the Blitz Pass tracker.
