After a lot of testing and watching you play, I have made the changes necessary to provide a smooth and painless path to surf, boat rides, jets ski, and explore. I can't list the new improvements because I have over 8 pages of changes both big and small that have been made, mostly from advice by players and watching their areas of frustration and tweaking things to get players to the fun and advance painlessly.

The game should flow better and you should be on your way to surf good and to explore easier and know what to do if you want to, as well as, to explore any way you want, while still enjoying the play. Beginning surfing has been going well, with most players getting on and up on waves without issue.
I've got absolute beginners to surf well, and added improvements for them to get better fast.

Next step is to get competent surfers to surf even better at another level.
Next update after more testing will encompass more advanced adventuring and surfing.
So stay tuned.

Hotfix for a bug that caused the game progress to be blocked if you closed the game via crash or Alt+F4 right after completing a mission. This Hotfix should repair the corrupted save files.

New Maps!!

This is a short overview of the planned features for Update 13.8. If you want to participate in the Public Test for the coming update and read more about its features, visit the dedicated article on our website:

EU NA ASIA

IMPORTANT! Because the update is still being tested, the information in this article is tentative and reflects the state of game development at the time of its publication. Some changes and new features may be removed entirely or implemented differently by the time the update goes live.


Update 13.8 marks the 9th Anniversary of our game, so—as has become tradition—we're going all out with the celebration for our players!


Throughout the update, you'll be able to claim special Anniversary rewards by exchanging Festive Tokens (more on those a little further down) in the Armory. Among the rewards, you'll find:

• Rochester (U.S. Tier VIII Premium cruiser)
  
• The Stellar Pioneer permanent camouflage for Benson
  
• Supercontainers
  
• Battle of Paso de Patria containers
  
• And more!

The beloved Battle Performance Bonuses have returned for the Anniversary update! With this mechanic, all you have to do is achieve specific combat results playing your Tier V+ ships to earn Festive Tokens.

You can receive several rewards simultaneously without having to play each individual ship, and you'll now obtain Battle Performance Bonuses for your selected ship by earning cumulative Base XP.

You can also trigger additional Battle Performance Bonuses for different ships while playing the same ship multiple times. So you can play your favorite ship and activate Battle Performance Bonuses for as many other ships in your Port as you like.


Event Pass 13.8 incorporates UI improvements highlighting important rewards, as well as general visual improvements.

Among the rewards of the first progression line, you'll be able to obtain Festive Tokens, Battle of Paso de Patria containers, and Ipiranga (Pan-American Tier VIII battleship) as the final reward.


The second progression line, unlockable for Doubloons, will provide you with a Battle of Paso de Patria Premium container as a bonus level reward; a bonus package for Tier VIII ships; and various permanent camouflages, including the Ordem e Progresso permanent camouflage for Ipiranga as the final reward.




Our all-new in-game collection is themed around new Pan-American unique Commander Joaquim Marques Lisboa, who is the final reward for its completion.

We're also adding the new "Collection Token" system to in-game collections as a whole, which will streamline the use of duplicate collection items to complete collections.


With the release of Update 13.8, Operations Defense of Naval Station Newport, Raptor Rescue, "The Ultimate Frontier," Hermes, Aegis, and Cherry Blossom will have their tier requirements expanded, allowing Tier VI–X ships and superships to participate.

Operations enthusiasts rejoice!
