Naval training center, did you already reset?

[Jvd2000]

First day of the new year. With all the discussions going on regarding subs, cv rework, PR grind i am just interested how the NTC is actually working ( working = players actually using) So a small poll.

 

I just reset my second line to get the double bonus. Still at tier 9 and tier 7 so progress  is slow even when i FXP up to tier 6.

[DFens_666]

So far im not impressed with this whole thing.

Ohio and Colbert both ships i dont want/need so thats that.

I dont like them putting LMs in there either, but it might something id use it for (depending what ships get LM with the change / how they change LMs for existing ships). But the price is important aswell. If LMs require more than 1 grind, then its off for me.

[KillStealBoss]

I did reset 14 lines in... One month. Yes. It was a challenge so I did it. My clanmates said I won't make it and I did. 

3x IJN CV line

3x IJN gunboat

3x IJN torpboat

2x USN CV 

1x USN DD line

1x USSR both lines (Khaba + Grozo) 

I have Ohio, Colbert and 32k RB points spare (will use some of them to convert into free exp if Hayate will be released).

[Verblonde]

Question 2: should the upper bound for the points earned not be 50K (which is where I think I am).

 

My feeling is that it's worth doing on lines where there is a live bonus, but not otherwise; I've done the IJN torp DD line twice now - it was fun to come back to, as I wasn't playing them much otherwise, plus they now almost all have improved captains which makes playing them more comfortable/fun.

 

The 'no bonus' points return isn't enough to make me grind though - I can live with three regrinds to get one T10 ship, but more than that doesn't do it for me (and I'm not short of time, at the moment).

[BlackFish__]

I refuse to regrind any of my hard-earned ship lines.

When NTC becomes a necessity to be competitive is the END of my patience. WG promised to extend the deadline of the legendary missions till the end of 2020 yet their end date is set to March. Somebody from WG can you confirm the end of the year deadline and provide an ETA for the correction, or did you just blatantly lie again?

WOW!

[zedeIeyici]

I did 5 times. Two time reset Shima line, Daring, Yueyang and Henry. I got Colbert. Still have 23000 NTC points...  And was it worth the effort? I am not sure!!

The question is how many credits and camos I had.

So I used:

390 type 59

85 mosaics

45 Asian Lantern

30 Spring Sky

95 stars and stripes

250 anniversary camo (used it on T6-7)

700 equal speed Charlie London

500 Red dragons

200 Leviathan, Basylisc and Hydra

180 Scylla

150 uroboros

And on top of that 

500k free exp - was on my account before the regrind (I used them to get into T6 not to play on low tiers - except Hosho )

350 mln credits that were on my account evaporated.

No

No

Maybe in the future if they do it in another way. I don't mind the way it's done now, but it's not for me. I doubt they'd be able to come up with a reward that would interest me and the whole 're-grind' concept has to much 'work feeling' in it. I can do some directives, at times, that seem reachable, but why would I delete a line that I've sort of worked for to grind earlier? I've got other lines to do the first time, if I feel inclined.

 

It may be a concept that is good for some, but the work-like grind that WG is approaching should probably be kept for those that have done it all and want some more and are okay with fluff rewards. If WG make the rewards of a more competitive nature, I can see some backlash coming again. Not from me, because I don't really care about it, but some do...

[lovelacebeer]

I re did the British and Japanese cruiser lines just to see if it was something that would entertain me. Wasnt especially hard and was mildly interesting to replay ships and see if I appreciated them more a second time around.

 

However I cannot see any reason to do it again the NTC just doesn't offer anything that interests me

[Peffers]

re-grind is boring, and looks like it may forced on players to "win".   Smacks of running out of decent ideas to generate income.

Is this about the legendary uppgrade for tier X?

Yes.

[Uglesett]

If there's one thing that's going to murder my enthusiasm for this game, it's content being gated behind regrinding lines I've already played through.

 

The NTC was a bad idea that should never have been thought up let alone implemented in the first place.

What the hell what’s the problem with leaving those missions which already are started, permanently? 

[BlackFish__]

WG hope to extort more money from the players by making them buy free XP to skip the NTC alias Research Bureau grind.

WG announced it around 2 weeks ago. And they seem not bothered about it, same as they did with Puerto Rico.

My guess is that it's the next crap-storm (unless WG come up with something worse in the meantime)...

 

[Peffers]

I understand from reddit you now have to the end of 2020, but for me it isn't the length of the warning but the fact that it is happening in the first place.

[Ronchabale]

I just dont have the time, I could possibly regrind one line in a few monthes, but not several, so, no.. I am better off at work making money.

Hopefully they will make legendary modules and other upgrades available though other channels. 

[Ze_Reckless]

I did reset both RU DD lines because I never really played them after the line split. Reset both IJN DD lines and couldn't be arsed after a couple of games, free xped to Colbert and will never look at RB again.

[Aragathor]

I'm looking into replaying the IJN and KM cruisers. Just for fun and points.

[Otowi]

No. I just managed to get the Yamato, and that took me some amount of time as a casual player. Not interested in doing that again for a legendary module that I may not even use. TBF I see no point in the NTC at all, just a total waste of space.
