Also keep in mind that it is rare for a tier 7 ship to have access to a level 5 skill. Most people grinding up a line will not get a 5th skill until tier 8.

Week 1 with a lot of the 1-time missions and weekly missions got us to 3 mil. Week 2 with some 1-time missions and the weekly mission pearls netted us a further 2 mil. And now you think that somehow, even though most 1 time missions are complete for most people, that we will net 5 million in week 3 i.e. the same amount that we earned in the first 2 weeks. I just don't see it myself - where are all of these pearls coming from? Remember the total jumps most on Monday, then less and Tuesday and slowly declines throughout the week because on Monday the missions have reset and everyone can earn the new pearls. As JapLance says you cannot opt out of gaining pearls every week unless you simply don't login. Those people invested enough to earn 260 pearls are not the kind of people who will then not play after that so they will keep pushing their pearl count up particularly since the weekly missions are insanely easy.

CV wins were easy. I'm struggling with CA wins (currently 16 out of 25). Last night I played something like 6 CA games for 1 win. And on the losses I was top of the team for 3 of the wins. I'm not a great cruiser player and I struggle to carry in them... but it seems even when I do more than I should it doesn't matter. Maybe I should do some clubbing in my St Louis.

Grow up.

Well, then you could argue that they should have just made all missions repeatable from the start so you could have earned 260 in the first 3 days... if you didn't work. I think it makes sense to stagger it. For people who play less it does make them come back more often and it also enables a wider range of gamers to get the 260 pearls as opposed to just the hardcore element who have huge amounts of time to play

I was just about to make a similar post. He is very sharing with whatever trollish thought happens to be in his head

No. Week 1 started on Monday 18th January. It then rolled onto week 2 on Monday 25th January. It has now started week 3 today, Monday 1st February.

Says you have made 4 posts to me. Anyway... you should perhaps have kept it at one post.

There does seem to be some crazy matchmaking sometimes. I had a game yesterday where 3 tier IX BBs vs 1 tier IX + 2 tier VIII and then it gives team one 3 kageros and a hatsuhari vs 2 fubukis on the other team. Then apparently it evens it all out with some cruisers. And you look at that from the team 2 perspective and just think 'well at best this will be a lot of work'. I think I had 4 games with that kind of balance yesterday.. 3 times I was on the 'weaker' team and 2 of them were losses. So it is not an ideal set up at all... but that doesn't mean I'm going to accept it as a loss...

I was in a division yesterday in my Myoko (division mate was in his Sims) and having fired some torps at us we were aware of a DD near us. So we chased him down. My mate was further south cutting off his retreat so he tried to get past me but ran out of map and I lit him up. He smoked up and sat still so we both headed straight at the smoke. I started to take evasive manoeuvres and this by dumb luck as much as anything weaved between his torps and eventually spotted him 2-3 km not moving. He got 10 HE shells which left him on about 20 HP which my division mate relieved him of about 1 second later. Then comes the chat. And I am paraphrasing here (and removing the odd expletive) him: "myoko reported. illegal mod use" me: "lol" me: "what for?" I look at the scoreboard and he has XVM... I can see that because I have it... so he can see that I have it. This is the only mod he can know about. me: "do you mean xvm because we are both using it?" him: "you are using cheater mods" me: "do you mean the aim assist... because it really isn't hard to hit a DD not moving from 2km" At this point other people start weighing in... and luckily on my side sa they could see he was a bit of an idiot. People on both teams were asking him how exactly I might have cheated? His replies included: him: "just because we can all eat, doesn't mean everyone know" him: "why everyone mad - I just say he reported" He also got his division mate in the Independence to focus on me... that didn't work too well for his plane supply. In the end I did die but I had helped us claw our way to a well earned but hard fought win on points with me top of our team To be honest I found it a hugely entertaining game - games where you don't really know who might win until the final seconds are always nice but if there is one thing that beats it then it has to be salty players with ridiculous accusations.

Does one? I might make inconsistent use of it if it did exist but even if it made it onto someone's to-do list I really would hope it sat behind some more important changes/improvements.

Seems a good change to me. It isn't rigid mirroring a la forcing an equal number of CVs per side, but if circumstances allow better balance MM will do it.

I hope they do something worthwhile here.

This is only my expectation... but I expect you can ctrl+click like you can now... you just don't get the bonus.

Maybe but say it is 1k HP per tier. 10k hp additional to a Shima is far more valuable than 10k onto a Yamato i.e. a much higher percentage increase.

I maybe should have phrased it better but I think that fits into the comfortably completing it section i.e. we will definitely complete it and you don't need to be staying up at midnight on Sunday to get the final pearls in time. The whole panic as to whether we would get 260 pearls before we hit 10 mil pearls stemmed from the worry that there would be enough of an influx of players to keep us making over 3 mil per week and as such never seeing week 4. But, the stats for week 2 don't really support this theory. My expectation is that 3mil for week 1 reflects a lot of 1 time only missions. 2 mil for week 2 reflects mainly weekly misssions but also the remaining 1 time missions for those who hadn't collected them all in the first week. I actually think week 3 will earn a bit less than week 2 but time will tell I guess - but I personally don't think there are that many new sign-ups coming through all of the time.

I know what the point is. I'm just sick of seeing a new thread every time they get 3x and we get 2x. And then if Ectar posts on a thread about MM chances are he will get hunted down there and hounded about this subject... again. and then people wonder why there is little appetite for them to post. Mr Fingers should just put that quote by AlsoRobots into his signature to save him having to grab it every other day. I don't like the inequality, but I am still yet to see anyone from the EU saying we won't get a chance to get this ship. I also understand that there are reasons for differences but there is a clique on this forum who won't be happy unless there is exact mirroring. And it won't happen. So call me an apologist if you wish but just so as you know... I'm not. I'm just bored of the same old thing being dragged up weekly.

Have they said we have been refused it? I have lost count of how many threads you have started on the same subject... or the number of replies that you have posted in other threads on the same subject.

Cleveland is great for it... haven't played the Pensa so I don't know. I have about 200-220 fires so far and only perhaps 60 are from Cleveland playing specifically to get fires. The rest are from things like my Hiryu, Myoko (only playing for daily 1.5x), Hatsuhari and secondaries on BBs... it might only be a perhaps 1 or 2 per game on average but it adds up... and there is a month left. If you do use the Pensa then you really need to stick with other ships and make them more of an attractive target than you. Stage 3 is 1 mil damage but that is EASY (particularly with BBs) so you don't need to worry about stage 3 so much.

Ah don't tell me this - I don't want to spend my money Things is I already have Tirpitz and Atago at tier 8 and then Gremyayaschy for a DD. I've actually recently made a concerted effort to play my Gremy more and learn gunboat DD play with some success. ...but it does look fun!

Or a Gremyayaschy

The moderators are not here to comment on burning issues.

Got to agree with this although you are severely handicapped by ship choices i.e. you have the Cleveland and it appears only the Cleveland. That doesn't make the mission [edited]. But if you are getting Fault Line then go where the DDs go i.e. C. Sure they split up and it might depend on where they spawn (look where your team's DD spawn to get an idea where the enemy ones might have spawned) but you can go to predictable DD locations. And the Cleveland can be perfectly capable of dealing with DDs if you can get to a suitable range... it is just a bit dangerous. I once took out 3 DDs in 5-6 salvoes in rapid succession. The long shell flight time can be problematic at long ranges but get closer. I actually picked up most of my DD kills with BBs. I'm currently on the fires section (perhaps got 200-220) but I'm not worried about them... picked up 6 fires in my Hiryu this morning. If I get bored enough I take my Cleveland out and yesterday I got 22 (or was it 26?) fires in a game. And 1 million damage is pathetic target really... can do that in my sleep.

Apparently he does. There are a lot of people on the forum who get their favourite gripe and then push it into every single thread to derail them.

No. He isn't. Back on topic - I haven't begun the USN DD line and it is unbundled so I'm awfully tempted. A tier 8 premium at that price is nice to behold. I gave up on ranked because I only really have BBs as an option and this would certainly help. But, on the other hand I already have too many premiums... and I know I'm going to be a sucker for any more RN premiums :/
