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!
从下个礼拜中到月底我们将对所有科技树内T8~T10非金币船的修理费用下降20%
"这不是愚人节玩笑" "我们很认真的"
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!
这个测试会从RU sever先开始，不过其他玩家也不用担心爽不到。
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!
我们会看这次测试的结果来决定是不是让这变成常态。
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!
这只是个测试，因为我们需要数据来考虑这些永久性改变。
Now for the Saipan news, from NA CC NikoPower:
赛班的新闻
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.
赛班即将要登场，已经接近最后阶段而且准备好要让玩家爽了。
我们要确保买了的玩家能爽，所以要请大家稍等一下。
但是赛班真的Coming soon，这新闻只是要让你们知道我们会ASAP推出赛班打油。

他也说了
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.
好消息是这次不是soon™
而且会让玩家很简单的就能入手一台

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最后发过了，IJN cv coming soon™，2016会上许多有名的美国船。
-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.
我们觉得海雾舰很有趣，基于合作关系，有些地方所以也释出了其他活动消息。
We decided to deffer it for later, when there will be more content available
for publishing at once.
我们决定将他延期，当我们有更多内容我们才会一次把他推出。
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.
另外一点是为了让玩家避免被这些活动卡死，完全不能作其他事情。
％编按: ASIA那个kuso kirishima game你们看到了吗？
-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.
太多东西要搞了，新版本、赛班平衡、迷彩还有愚人节活动加上未来的计画。
But I talked with RU Wiki Manager and now it’s clear for me what to do next.
不过我和毛子那边的人谈过了，所以我现在知道接下来我要干嘛了。
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.
讲了一堆，简单的来说，他们要找志愿者去编EN版的wiki就是了，会有奖励。
