Public Test of Update 0.8.9: Round 2

[The_EURL_Guy]

Commanders, welcome to the Public Test of Update 0.8.9!

Read it on the portal

[Admiral_H_Nelson]

" Cause 150,000 damage playing aircraft carriers. "

 

That's a deal breaker right there.

[radius77]

Missions of the Autumn Season

Compete the missions of the Directive by playing in Random or Co-op Battles.

Earn 12,000 base XP.

Cause 150,000 damage playing aircraft carriers.

Ensure that 120,000 damage is dealt due to your spotting of enemy ships.

Cause 500,000 damage playing destroyers, cruisers, and battleships.

 

Do we have to complete once those missions during one ST or three times during all "autumn ST season" ?

I am sure that you are right.

 

Please allow me to clarify my point. I have tried tier 4 & 6 CVs in a training room. In fact I spent about 20 hours trying them out.

 

Funny thing is that in real life, my naval book library is dominated by aircaft carriers.

I just hate hate flying planes around in the WoWS arcade game, that's all.

 

I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than do it....so that is why the mission is a deal breaker.

Got the error message "The data obtained from the update service is incorrect" from the PTS launcher, which in turn refused to launch the PTS client.

same issue off the latest update pull

[DanSilverwing]

I didn't bother trying Ranked Sprint in the 0.8.8 PTS because of the long queue times, and that time it was linked to special flags. This time it's linked to the WG container rewards.

 

I know these are much (much) shorter than regular versions, but I can't see the details, and I'm trying to work out how much of my time I can give to this. I'm interested in the Premium ship container at the end of the season (because I was absent for the first two of the summer season) but I don't know if the incentives are there.

 

I'm never really interested in the Halloween scenarios either. I'll give it a go though.

 

Edit: 5 GB update, wow.

the ingame the requirements are totally insane...when should anyone test the Halloween mission with such an hard autumn mission to do...

[XDMeloniXD]

The new halloween event seems cool so far, when do we get to know what we can do with the "filth"? I hope that we can get the ship skins and captains from 2016 and -17 with it. So far it seems interesting, although I don't prefer this less story-based version of the halloween event, it's still pretty fun. The design on the halloween event ships feel like a downgrade as well, it has more of the post apocalyptic, not the steampunk feel to it and the tier 9 ships are just.... come on, could have done better with them. But that's a matter of opinion ofcourse. I personally wanted to get more ships in the style of the good duys, but what are ya gonna do, ya know? GJ nonetheless-

 

PS. The armory didn't work, is it intentional or a bug of some sort?

ok, it seems many haven't noticed the different requirements for the autumn mission, so there are many CVs to farm the 150k damage...

Yeah, there are plenty of CVs about at the moment,
Trying to clear the mission before they realise :P

[black_falcon120]

What's the easiest way of doing it? 

 

I think it's probably playing a CV then suiciding TBs into the enemy one?

[black_falcon120]

Oh nice, they've hotfixed it, it's now 500k damage to all ships, i suppose they hjust merged the 2 missions.

 

Edit: they sadly appear to have reset curretn progres...

 

[UltraRos]

Well I already completed the mission before I got a new one, did it count?

Any tips for doing damage?

 

I copied some advice in game and tried ramboing the ram with a french bb in fandoms and got an average of 13k/game...

 

i also cant seem to make my carriers work, and I was only hitting 60k with the shokaku, which took ages, as it’s planes seemed to fall out of the sky.

[AndyHill]

I used exclusively T10 carriers to make sure I got at least one on the red team every time. They did quite a lot of damage even if I spent a lot of effort sniping.

[Admiraal_Broekhuizen]

hi guys im new to this how do i get those rewards on my normal acc or is this all for my PT acc they have the same email.
