Is there any way to get free xp quickly?

 

I bought the Nelson a short while back and while I've managed to save 160k free xp I don't think I can get 600k in 2 month :(

• Use XP booster and Free XP Booster together
• Use high Tier ships with first victory bonus
• Add premium
• Add XP Booster missions from bought high Tier premiums

Get 6 to 20k Free XP per win.

Now the Yueyang is worser than Chung mu ....... +33% RELOAD GUNS, +50% RELOAD TORPS .......... please think your thoughts to an END when you nerf ships. I see your view of advantages for the yueyang but such a GIANT NERF is TO MUCH ,  sorry

Yeah that'll happen - I agree totally.

 

What now is the point of Free XP other than shortcutting research time on ships (which you might not have credits to buy) its dog useless. I will be very unhappy in the future to open containers with Free, Useless experience. IT will be like finding a Bag of Francs in France or Dmarks in Germany . seemingly valuable  but in reality only good for wiping your arse!

Like finding a bag of D-Marks (not sure about Francs but I guess it might be similar) will allow you to change them into Euros (indefinitely), you can still use your FXP as captain XP - it just lost a lot of its former value to inflation. On the other hand, there might be new FXP ships coming? It's not like the need to create FXP dumps has gone away, I think. Especially since people exchanging large amounts of elite ship XP for FXP is probably a decent source of revenue for WG.

Rather disappointing update overall.

And who the hell asked for thunderstorms ??!

Look im not saying free xp is going useless. I got the missouri and kronshtadt using free. Module/ship research is a waste imo, but okay. 

 

Comm training is fine too. 

 

But i am only saying im a bit surprised theyll be pulling the musashi out so quickly, without us having a proper chance to get it (... Unless you didnt get kron or you play insanely much). In itself again thats fine, but there was basically a 100% hint in the CV rework articles that you could make this happen- but that turns out to be too late. 

 

Im excited to see what new options there will be. Musashi seemed nice, but not that intriguing, so i can imagine there will be a better alternative (i read something about a tier 9 USSR DD ;) )

[Randomhato]

Lost fps in a big way since this mornings patch, usually don't drop below 75 as that is fixed to my monitor, getting drops down to 30 this morning. Anyone else experiencing similar?

Can i get a refund for the premium camo i bought for the Yueyang? Because even with 3s reload an equally skilled player with a Gearing will easily win a gunfight (Gearing's 21mm armor is more valuable than sitting lower in the water in a DD vs DD fight with 127mm guns).

If the radar is a problem, just remove it and don't kill the whole ship for random battles!

A question from a few of my clan,
Whilst we get the want/need to rotate the ships out (musashi/Kron)
Will they and the missouri be making a reappearance in the future for Free XP again?

 

I can't say yet, it is certainly possible - if unlikely.

The new performance based emblems are avaible only for performance counted from now is not an old-player respecting step.

 

If we did go this route, a lot of the players that this is aimed at would already just get the maximum rank. We prefer to give everyone the same incentive in this case.

 

We went the same route with the other emblems, requiring you to play the games and not basing it on past performances.

So as WG are removing a large significant part of what I can spend free experience on, and as I am unlikely to accumulate a further 600000 free exp in 2 months, can I hope that the tendency to award now worthless free experience in containers will also be removed? Thought Not!

There will be new free XP ships added in future to replace the ones that are being removed.

Unfortunately not. We don't want to make the ship uncompetitive or un-fun to play, if we notice that the nerfs are an issue we will revisit the ship.

Has anyone pointed out that the flag is upside-down, yet?

Money is getting way to important in this game. Fix your crap like concelment and MM. Stop with your stupid campains for tier 8 to 10 cause it makes playing with T8 suck. AND TO ALL THE PLAYER KEEP YOUR WALLETS CLOSED EVERYHING THEY COME UP WITH IS PULLING MONEY OUR YOUR POCKET. GIVE US SHIPS FOR OUT FREE XP'S

[sin099]

As a new player i might lack perspective but games usually want to attract new players so i guess i will leave my feedback as it is at least a partially valid:

moving a ship behind several layers of RNG into loot boxes (which +- feels like baring every new player from ever having it) because it is commonly used / popular, instead of looking at balance etc. sure feels like a very poor and new player unfriendly decision.

 

New players seeing -> well cant get this, this and this because "well ship was popular so we decided new players can't have it" probably wont be all that happy. So if tech tree has no room - i suggest rotating in and out (look at how warframe does prime vault for instance).

 

PS: you might want to copy dev. blog etc. to the main page (don't think i saw it there only on facebook)

As ship drops in SC are rare it would be nice to see the Kron, Musashi and Missouri back as FXP ships at sometime in the future or even for a limited time or in the way that Jean Bart has gone with being in the Premium store for a limited time, if any of these did happen would you have an idea of how long it could be?

 

Cheers.

[gnist0s]

Still no possibility to hide ships you dont want or use (Haloween, Clanwar, ARP/DRAGON).

We had it before for some ships, so it can be done.

Just ask your programmers to make it work, or sack them!

What a load of bull with the dd v AP changes, why should a dd have virtual immunity from full health when rushing down a BB, no longer can a BB defend itself in a close in fight with a dd, it's often said that WG compared to other games dev's listen to us sometimes, well this time they didn't, all the CC's, youtubers and vast swathes of players say it's a bad idea to buff the already relatively OP dd's abilities against battleships and yet they didn't listen just forced through the change. There is a long term agenda here at WoW to turn the game into the 5 minute rofl stomp's that are the staple of WoT at the moment, Faster games boost's WG's stat's when competing in the Online game award's encouraging them to make the games much much faster.

 

The games in WoT are between 4-5 mins, here due to the speed of ships they will obviously be slower im guessing within 12 months 7 mins will be the norm. Little tactical play will be encouraged just a lemming train rofl stomp on new maps with minimal cover ( next patch all island sizes are being reduced ). New cv rework with multiple attack wings, numerous cv's in game with much faster deployment of bomber wings, the constant progression to HE spamming ships, torp spamming dd's with shorter and shorter reload times and faster machine gun style reloads means this game in a year or so will be a seaborne clone of WoT. Faster games, little tactics or skill, smaller maps, more air attacks and torp and HE spamming ships. It's not a good development in my view.

 

I also think a simple solution to MM would be +2 tier spread upto t7 and then a +1 at tiers 7-10. Nothing over complicated just a simple and effective use of the ships in game, i personally would be happy to wait an extra few seconds to get fairer MM.

WG state there is a problem with so many FREE xp and coal ships getting into t9 battles and it's increasing, i get this argument and for once agree with them, offering a small chance to pick one of these great ships up in a super container means less people will be collecting consumable crates for the coal and xp and will opt for that chance at a SC and a t9 premium ship. A simple and clever solution to the FREE xp and coal glut currently in WoW. If only all WG's solutions were as clever and simple as this one. Now it would be nice to know what new ships and what price point and options to purchase will be replacing the Musashi and Kronshtadt.

Did you get the special version of the game where BB do ZERO damage to DD?

That's just false. And I say so coming from a very torn position (I don't think the solution is good, yet I'm completely TIRED of eating BS AP volleys from Montanas sitting at 15km while I'm fighting a DD I just spotted in my Gearing).

I only follow Flamu (and recently a NA guy who has very few views, but seems extremely good with destroyers, Destroyer KuroshioKai), and of course I've seen every funtage by Yuro. Obviously Jingles (but him for entertaining content, not to get good information about the game mechanics).

All of them have mentioned several times in the past how absolutely absurd BB AP is against destroyers and that it was utterly ridiculous the ammount of damage it dealt against them.

I mean, again, I'm on the verge on this one and in fact I think the solution is far from optimal, even when SOMETHING had to be done about the consistent BS battleship AP was doing to some destroyers. But if you want to express your dissatisfaction with something, do it so, at least, while not lying.

Do you really think that people are THAT stupid?

How often do you get a SC, even if you go for the boxes with a bigger chance for a SC, if I may ask??
And even if you get a SC now and then - how big will be the chance of receiving one of those tier 9 ships? I tell you how big - a tiny bit more than 0%. Of course, some popular community contributor/youtuber may get such a ship "accidentally" while streaming during some Christmas event... But the other folks will have a bigger chance to win the lottery than receiving a tier 9 Missouri/Musashi from a SC.

All the SC I ever got had mostly crap inside. I had only 3 useful SC so far - 2 with 50 nice camos each and one with 14 days prem account. Thats it. I will keep collecting those ressource crates for sure and wont care about SC, and I'm sure most of the people will do the same.
