The "Victory" Competition: Time Is Running Out!

[The_EURL_Guy]

Participate in the second stage of the “Victory” competition, earn Provision Tokens, and obtain a unique Commander—Nikolay Kuznetsov.

Great! More gamble boxes and another time framed grind. 

 

That type of things makes the game very boring but very obsessive. 

 

P. S. The thing with obsessions though is that they are a two edged sword because people use to break with them once they realize that it interrupt their life balance or new greater obsession shows.

I'm impressed how little this interests me. I was never going to be bothered by the imaginary Communist ships (lets be honest, communists can't afford to build anything decent). But i'm suprised how bad the rest of the update is. Literally nothing of use to win/earn in this ''event'' other than a very average commander.

 

No way is that worth the time and stress i'd need to invest. Between unbalanced battles and potato teams, this is an event that isn't fun. Much like the game overall tbh...

 

I'll continue playing my games on Steam for now with a couple of WOWS battles a week. Maybe WG will actually pull their fingers out and introduce some interesting content.

 

Then again, i might miss the info if they do. Whenever i check WOWS news i just get crap about loot boxes and £100 premium ships so i close the page again without looking any further...

I might be stupid but could someone explain me something...

 

I have 1250 "allowance tokens" or whatever they are called. They can be used for another month (well, almost a month).

 

I was planning on getting Lazo by playing another 4-5 days.

 

Now with the new update there are no more "allowance tokens" but some "provision tokens" instead which I cannot use to get Lazo.

 

Hell, I even tried getting a container which was bringing 750 "allowance tokens" but now it bring "provision tokens" instead.

 

So basically you killed the way of getting Lazo now? What if I don't give a crap about the new tokens but want the old ones which are the only ones which Lazo can be bought with?

 

I'm not sure how well you planned this because obviously there was some change in the plans... It still says that "allowance tokens" can be obtained by playing "Victory Competition" but that is no longer the case.

 

That's very disappointing and I really can't understand the decision. Or am I missing something?

And you are sure that you bought the correct container and not one of the new ones?

[Afghanicus]

I'm pretty sure they were replaced.

 

I found them in the same place, for the same amount of doubloons...

 

But even if I missed them somehow... Lazo can be obtained by old tokens only. And by playing the competition you can get new tokens only.

 

Does that make sense to the developers or to anyone for that matter?

Gerade eben, Palubarac sagte:

but you can get also the old one (although not as bundles)...

but some people might have enough tokens to get the Lazo and want to spent them. And as usual tokens (and stuff to buy with them) are left in the Armory one more update than they can be earned...

Once WG removed tokens (and stuff) immediately after you couldn't earn them anymore, and there was a large sh*tstorm because of that...

[Afghanicus]

Well... their decisions seem rushed out and contradictory to everything they previously said about the competition and "free Lazo".

 

You cannot obtain it by just playing the competition. You have to pay real money for it.

 

That's BS to be honest.

I estimate that I can get approximately 325 tokens  (probably less, because this assumes that I'll be on the winning side 50% of the time) if I devote all the free time that I have left, after "Real Life in the Summer" has taken it's share of my time.

 

There is nothing in the rewards in part 2 that make me want to "push the boundaries" and get more tokens.

Spoiler

- Not interested in this particular special Soviet commander (the two that I already have suit my needs better)
- Already have the cruiser "Murmansk", and three of the ships that might drop in containers. The fourth, "Lenin" has no appeal for me.
 (And I don't want any $hitty credits in compensation. Make it gold and we'll talk)
- Already have loads of credits, camo, flags and Premium Time.
- Not bothered about being able to fly two flags, or mount pretty camo that gives no extra benefit - so the collection is deeply uninteresting as well. (But I know that this is important to a lot of players and I am not criticising their personal preference here)

I guess I'll give this a miss - maybe even take the whole game at a slower pace and take some time off while this event is running.

if you take the normal team every day and play only for the 500 points, you should end up with at least 572 tokens (26 x 18 for the 500 points, and 26 x (2+2) for being within the best 50%). And of course some days the normal team will win, so even a few more tokens...

You of course are correct if I have enough time to get the maximum number of points per day (500) by playing normal mode.

 

But I said in my post " if I devote all the free time that I have left, after "Real Life in the Summer" has taken it's share of my time. "

 

I don't have enough free time to play enough to get 500 points. I estimate that I will get 300 on average - which yields 10 tokens per day.

So, 25 days (the max that I personally can play) times 10 = 250 tokens. Add the two tokens per day for just playing = another 50. Then 12 or 13 days on the winning side would be 24 or 26 tokesn, average = 25

Add them together: 250 + 50 + 25 = 325.

Hopefully this makes my calculation clearer!  

 

P.S. If you are actively participating in Victory part 2 then "Good Luck, Captain!"

The good part of all this nonsense is that the commander will be available for coal... And since I am closing 400k coal mark...

We should be paid doubloons for having to listen/read this propoganda tripe

[CAP98100]

And other month, an other math example... GG

[MAD_3R_Marauder]

Um, guys?

Portal - Hard:

100 - 3

200 - 3

400 - 7

500 - 7

1500 - 7

 

In-Game - Hard:

100 - 3

200 - 3

500 - 7

1000 - 7

2000 - 7

 

Now, I'm pretty sure the in-game values are the correct ones, as the portal ones don't make sense (you'd get more tokens for 500 points on Hard than on Normal), but you might want to clear this up anyway.

[tsounts]

Somehow I seem not to be getting any provision tokens lately even though I play daily...

A man decided to learn English as a foreign language. He made very good progress, but felt that he needed to go to England to practice what he had learned.

So he booked a flight to London and landed on a typical June day - heavy rain was falling.

As he got off the plane he said to the Stewardess "Is this what you call 'Raining Cats and Dogs'?"  (Proud of his new-found knowledge of common English phrases).

"No Sir", replied the Steardess, "This is what we call 'summer'!"

Good luck on the High Seas Captain!

I am sure that there was a quote from a WG staff (might be even sub_octavian) that the captain will be available in the armory for coal in a coulpe of updates, although I cannot find the post anymore...

ah thanks, so it was even "more offical" than a forum post

thx all! I guess I just got lost in the long brief - some clearly have a better memory than me :) :) have a good one all!
