Do we need to play ships of their respective navy or does the base XP of battles with any ship count? Edit: my bad... I was blind.

Why the inclusion of Co-op? It is almost impossible to even gain the 750 base XP for the US side. So why bother including it at all?

USA team is restricted to T4-T7 American Ships

IJN team is restricted to T4-T7 Japanese Ships

 

Very challenging for co-op players at those tiers. The weekend is about to be even more derpy :)

Yes, if you choose a side – let's say Japan – then you need to play with Japanese tier IV-VII ships if you want to get any points for your team (be it through Base XP milestones or through victories).

 

We included Co-op to give players who prefer that mode the chance to win the guaranteed prize. They don't necessarily need to reach any Base XP milestones, because they can also win points just by winning battles.

Thanks. Saw the ship restrictions now. Don't know why I missed them despite searching for that info.

 

At those tiers it is utterly impossible to get this base XP in co-op.

Thank you. That explains it.

Now it was me not reading things properly. You're right: co-op players are extremely unlikely to gain team points from the Main Objective, but each co-op win will meet the Secondary Objective and get 1 team point for the chosen side. Thanks :)

[Aotearas]

Bit of a shame it's only up to tier VII. Though the inclusion of tier IV once again is nice. A good excuse to dust off my Ishizuchi and Yubari again.

[Lootboxer]

Again all sheep will go for the first and easiest choice so USA already won. Made mistake by choosing ijn lured by promises of substantially better rewards, which seems to be 3 camos only.

the Japanese ships are Tier 9/8/7, the USA 8/7/6...

Common, who is going to win it without 10 grams of speed and sleepless marathon? Best way to spam coop after coop yoloing as quickly as possible.

With all the recent feedback regarding high tiers getting all the attention, we thought it would be nice to include some lower tiers. And what with Ranked Sprint coming up, consider this a warm-up

Slightly more camos and the tier 9 ship for the top player on IJN, compared to a tier 8 with the US. 

 

We are listening to all your feedback which will shape our upcoming opt-in events. Thanks! 

[Admiral_Bleiente]

I got this right:

 

• the 2 containers for 10 Teampoints are a one-time; (or may  we get 2 containers per 10 TP achieved?)
• IF (!!!!) our side wins we get another 2 containers? 

So max 4 containers in total (the Prem-Ships I do not count in, because they gonna go to the grindbots )? 

Can we look up somewhere how many TP we got, or do we have to keep tally?

@SeaSickOllie Here you have feedback:

• People were annoyed that the recent events were locked to TX / High-tier ships or way more effective at TX, now you went from one extreme to another and locked out high tier ships... applying common sense shouldn't be that hard.
• If you had this event for T4-10 most people wouldn't mind the T10s being included. If you want to do even better you can have different milestones per tiers so the low tiers are more forgiving.

• Well ship rewards only for top 3 scorers so only way to compete is to no-life or cheese (suicide in coop and hope your team wins to farm mass points...) so thanks for the 2-4 aviation containers i guess, next time maybe include more layers of prizes.

• For CCCP event you said you learned from "Sharks vs Eagles" so why is this event +- baiting for most people to go for one side (for double guaranteed rewards, since as stated above the top 3 aren't really possible for most people) ?

 

@Admiral_Bleiente While i am not WG employee fairly sure you get the 10 point reward only once - consider that a lot recent events you couldn't get the reward of the event without working on event + paying money (i.e the whole event does not provide enough tokens without forking over the cash -> Implacable for instance). As far as free obtaining of stuff WG is on the cheap side of F2P (if you consider Warframe and other systems for instance)

another no-life event

 

 naval aviation containers are enough for me 

[Zigiran]

So... which side do people think will win? So I can get 4 containers

[Kryostorm]

Does the Japanese side include ARP & Dragons ?

They were always counted as Japanese

The only problem is that those 1st 2nd and 3rd prizes will only go to bot accounts...

[llHEROll]

so where do we see the score so far?

[panos_abarth]

HOW TO SEE TEAM POINTS?

 

[CaptainWayne]

Cannot see Team points? I know leaderboard will not be available but atleast we should be able to see how much points we are at.I dont see any banner in game too. Is the event in progress yet?

@SeaSickOllie @Moon__Star or anyone else from WG Staff can confirm that?

Unfortunately we don't have that functionality for this event but all battles during the event timeframe are counted.

We'll publish the results after the event is done - this way the team choice won't be influenced by the current team score either

Well to get those containers you only have to get 10 points, so I think that's easily doable even with a packed RL weekend. For the top prizes, yes they are for those who invest extra time to fight for their team - but we'll consider adding some randomly distributed prizes for the next event.

Well, I guess however we do it, there will be someone who is unhappy with the setup of the event. This time we wanted to give you a reason and incentive to play mid-Tiers specifically and to focus on this aspect. We'll consider how to improve the reward structure for the future without making it too complicated.

 

While Sharks & Eagles might be similar as example, the design for this is different. Each side has a different setup - one is easier with less rewards, the other one is harder but with better rewards. We'll see how it goes - the better players will probably go for the harder side and offset amount of players with better scores. But I get your point about the incentives for each side, thanks for the inpit.

Yes, 2x containers once you reach the threshold of 10 teampoints, not per 10 teampoints and an additional 2x containers in case your team wins. You can't look up your teampoints but I'm sure it's easy for you to track your points with the set milestones of 750/1250XP and wins.
