Rogue Wave: Summing up the Event!

[The_EURL_Guy]

The post-apocalyptic in-game event is over, and it's time to sum up the results.

Read it on the portal

[DanSilverwing]

"The results of this event show a clear demand from players to have ships that can travel at 70 knots and torpedoes with 100+ knots in the game, and we are now developing this for an initial separate game mode before integrating them into Random Battles. Our spreadsheets are never wrong!"

[Tbear21]

i really like the last part with the containers earned.... feels like "see how we spoil you" 

[Shaka_D]

Stats like this are a total waste of time.......totally pointless. How about showing us how much money you made during the event WG? Come on, be transparent.

[Episparh]

25 battles average ... I played 3  ... so someone played 48 to give the balance for me ... f#$k off with that stupid mode already 

[FixCVs_Nautical_Metaphor]

On the one hand, the public is being asked to commiserate with gaming industry developers, some of which are being exploited to the point of burn-out.

 

On the other, the WG PR department is kept busy by churning out drivel like this news bulletin.

 

Two wildly different sources of outrage that at times feel difficult to reconcile.

Spreadsheets say's "Everyone Loved It!" 

[Benden]

did not like it but it was less worse than the sci-fi dd game thing.

But that's just me.

[rage1750]

I and a few of my clan mates enjoyed it, others not so. 

 

A mode that did not feel like a total grindfest and a bit of a laugh. 

Though I pitty the poor souls that played this game solo, Lord how they must have ground. 

 

For once WG, well done on this mode

[Amigo_Invisivel]

It was a grind fest.  I played allot of battles just to get as much tokens for the Benham and in the end i didnt get it becouse of 3 days working didnt give me enough dailly missions to earn the last tokens. So i hated, the experience wasnt fun, and im not doing this again.

 

But what impresse me its the 52 loosing streak. Do you think this is healthie game play,  I dont.

[Desperado3434]

I wonder how many of those battles were just to complete the soul-destroying Benham grind.

[Stronginthearms]

sum it up  BORING after a few games

[Afghanicus]

What are you spreadsheets saying about NTC/RB?

 

Awkward silence, huh?

[FixCVs_Nautical_Metaphor]

While there is time to write up useless stuff like this, which nobody cares about, the very game manual is four years out of date.

[Carramber1]

i can some it up for you....

it was naff, boring & over difficult

[BlackYeti]

Tedious, frustrating, unrewarding to play solo, unfitting to the spirit of a naval game (yes, I disliked torpedo beat as well). But a + for art style, just like with Halloween. Halloween as a fun event was miles better than this though...

[Hanse77SWE]

I played seven games just to get on with the Hill.

 

 

Lost all seven BTW.

 

Hated it.

[Der_Besieger]

Played it only for the Benham...And the grind towards Benham was excruciating! I felt burnt out and needed a break. And now I don't feel like playing as much as before.

[StaK_1980]

I liked these infos!

 

I'd love to see that 275 torps in one battle replay! Also that 221k damage in one battle!

 

I LOVED this game mode, was imho pretty good in it, managing to kill 7 enemies multiple times. 

Messer and Stealthnado were my favourite. Sea Devil a close third. The other lines I didn't have that much success. 

[Hugh_Ruka]

I am missing the important numbers ... how many players participated per server/region ?

 

Funny how certain numbers are omitted when inconvenient ... maybe ? I mean just looking at stats on maplesyrup the weekly battles are serveral times the total number of event battles ... fail maybe ?

[tsounts]

WG, I'm pretty confident those numbers would have been totally different if there wasn't any Benham grind involved around this event....

I played it solo - was tough - like herding cats. From the article - I pity the poor captain who lost 52 games in a row, which must have been sapping, and I can only hope he got his Benham in the end.

 

I did enjoy the event and WG clearly put a lot of effort into it - music, ship designs, captain designs etc. If I did have a criticism - and this might from me playing solo rather than in a division - it's that the event got "old" quite quickly. The recent Halloween and Space events had a different game each week, so those events didn't get too same-y, whereas 4 weeks of the same thing in Rogue Wave got a bit repetitive. A very minor quibble, that, though, and a fun event all in all!

I bet WG are both happy and mad they did not get e mention in that vid.

 

On a serious note though, should it make us think more when we slag off the companies that ruin these games, with their sometimes dumb ideas, take the CV rework, do we know that when it started the same people are actually seeing it through, if anything I would like to see an expose on WG itself as a company,, that for sure would be interesting.

 

Certainly would make me feel crap about all the money I have given to WG for this that and the other.

 

 

 

Back on topic, I never played the mode that much, never even got the Hill let alone the Benham, I hate grindfests like this anyway.

[ExplosivesDeliverySystem]

So what are the figures for players who played 1 or less games after looking at the ridiculous Benham grind?

[Fatal_Ramses]

Most popular ships! Lancet and Rumble at the bottom position.

If you played Carnal, you played the lancet and rumble. Weird line that did not get better, when advancing.
