Simple as that - money.

You can't monetise missions - but you certainly can monetise lootboxes to get Cunningham (faster)

Or why do you think they move Leg-Mods to the NTC?

That is a fact.

 

However, I'm afraid WG is losing the balance between their profits and the enjoyment of the player-base. And someone should remind them that those two things are more related than they think or their spreadsheets are saying.

They can set missions that require gathering some x amount of free xp/xp/commander xp or x number of floods/fires and so on and ppl that want to do them faster can always buy more signals with doubloons.
It's not difficult to make it less blatant that they just want our money...

Just another pointless grind, wonder who got to use the collective brain cell in WG to think this one up?

Look - I understand that you might not be a fan of the main reward of the directives - but the point to these directives is getting London as main prize and a bunch of other. You still get a lot of other rewards, plus rewards you can trade in for by using the Royal Tokens - and you pick what you want. You can pick Premium time, dubloons, camouflages, signal flags, etc. - all things that help you do the main thing in our game. Play the game, unlock new ships, have fun your way. If you want to play in your own time, there are dozens of things to do and earn - a lot of tech-trees, a fully loaded Armory with reward ships, commanders, upgrades, camos, signal-flags, patches and so on.

Agreed

 

Being soon one week on vacation means there's little chance I'll get the commander. And there's no way I'm going to spend valuable coal or doubloons on a commander.

Making everything time-gated these days really adds a lot of frustration to the game. Fun and frustration mix together as well as oil and water.

I understand that being on vacation can be an obstacle for any event or game when there are time-limited events. We're trying to offer another way to still obtain them later on by adding them to the Armory for coal, maybe we'll be able to address your concerns with future improvements.

What and where are/is the daily shipments?

I am so confused. Please make things simple!

Daily Shipments are very simple. Every day when you log in during the timeframe of February 13 and 27, you can claim one daily shipment - it pops up right after login. Even if you don't click on collect, it will be automatically claimed at the end of the day. There are 10 in total to claim, so you can skip 4 days and still get all shipments.

Uh, what?

Daily shipment ≠ daily container

The problem is that WG is pushing more and more time-limited events. Especially with legendary commanders which used to be obtained completing interesting campaign missions and now require you to grind every day because if you fail to complete X missions/directives/whatever... you have no chance of getting that commander and you will have to wait months until it's available to be purchased by an insane amount of coal (usually close to 180,000 which is way overpriced).

Afaik it works like that also for daily shipments - MrConway is the min-maxer of our team and he's doing it that way :D

It would be nice if that would be communicated to the general public as well. I can't remember any patch notes or developer update mentioning this ever. But the first time it was implemented was also a long time ago, so I might be wrong.

 

I will test it with the new patch.

Hold on... am I missing something here?

 

You (as in WG all the time in every announcement, event description etc.) says that we need to log in every day in order to collect the rewards from the daily shipments.

 

You're now saying that even if we don't collect them, they will automatically be added to our account, including the 50 Royal tokens?

 

Some clarification would be nice.

 

 

EDIT: Nevermind, I see the confusion now.

 

You do need to log in every day in order to collect the daily shipment rewards. Since the daily shipments are going for 14 days and there are 10 of them, you can skip (not log in) 4 days out of those 2 weeks and still get all daily shipment rewards.

 

@Crysantos was saying that even if you don't click on "collect", you'll get that daily reward, provided that you did in fact log into the game.

 

And I can confirm that's true. No need to actually collect it, as long as you log in you'll get the reward at the end of the day.

 

I found out this when I intentionally didn't want to collect the 24-hour premium reward and was planning to collect it the next day. But when I opened the game in the morning, the reward was collected automatically (I logged in that day obviously) and premium time started.

 

All clear to me now.

Agreed, i was lucky that i managed to complete the Sansonetti collection and actually get him, but i'm really disappointed about how they are handling the Legendary ('cause i call Unique the ones that don't have special perks, like John Doe or Jack Dunkirk, that have only enhanced skills).

 

Seriously guys, @MrConway @Crysantos why don't you give us more Campaigns? Or, are you just done with them? If i remember correctly, the last campaing that we ever got was well over a year ago with the P.E.F. event (2 campaings actually, the Steel Monsters and the event one) and then we got nothing for an entier year.

Yes, that is what he said.

[wot_2016_gunner]

Btw guys, about the Test ships (Ägir, Yashima, Arashi and Orkan), don't expect anything from Flamu as WG chatbanned him for like 90 days and they excluded him from getting the test ships.

So.... do we have to buy this ship or not? I read the webpage and it seems to suggest we get the London for completing all 4 stages of the event but that clearly isn't it because I would have got it days ago. The rest seems to be walls of unclear text about this and that, I couldn't follow where they were going with this.

The event has not even started, you have to do 40+ new missions.^^

It's similar to the "Gorizia system" (not the same though)

 

If you buy a ship you have the possibility to obtain more tokens.

 

That being said, you can finish all directives and obtain the 1000 tokens even without buying London.

 

You'll just need to finish all directives, most daily missions during the whole event and collect all daily shipments.

Ok thanks.

 

I'm sure there's lots of nice free stuff to bag anyway, even if I don't have the time to get all the daily stuff for the ship plus I already got that Devonshire recently even if I don't get the London... and I was also lucky enough to get the T5 Hawkins for free too, so all good my end.

Well, I'll be off for vacation for 4 days so I think my chances are slim to none.

 

WG simply expects everyone to stick to their game every single day.

 

That's why so many players are getting burnout.

That's what concerns me: if the grind is going to demand significantly more effort than the ARP ships just gone, I'm out; I have too many other calls on my time, and I don't want to get to the point where I feel like I'm only playing for the grind (my T4 and below tech tree progressions have all been rather put on hold of late as it is). For me at least, this event is only going to be as good as those directives, whatever they turn out to be.

Harder than ARP event? I can assure you it will be significantly harder than that.

 

For starters.. there will be a lot more missions and based on WG's sneaky language in that event description... the missions won't be easy and will require plenty of ships in port.

[Hugh_Ruka]

oh another event I can safely ignore as there's little chance I can complete it. well at least I have time to grind credits for Yugumo ... oh wait, Narai will be gone as well so that's harder now ... thank you WG .... improving the game every single patch ...

We are currently using the directive system instead of the campaigns for the events as it is a lot more user friendly, requires far fewer clicking and navigating the client and also means you don't have to specifically activate each mission.

 

I do hope that we will have more campaigns with long-term goals like Halsey and Yamamoto, but that remains to be seen.

Correct, daily rewards are always granted as long as you log in, you do not need to click the claim button.

 

I know this as I am really allergic to clicking things and have never collected a daily reward by clicking it

Oh c'mon really? I never ever heard that there an issue with "extensive clicking"... 

I'll vote for some "user friendly" Kitakaze that spams the hell out of the enemy with no clicking

Seriously!? It's a lot more user friendly? How so? Do the spreadsheets say so?

 

You guys are hilarious (I mean the ones you're working for and passing their decisions wrapped in gibberish language).

 

Everybody enjoyed (and still enjoy) campaigns and nobody ever said it required "too much clicking and navigating". At least I never heard that nonsense before.

 

As opposed to the time-limited event for getting the new captains which a lot of players hate.

 

Are we talking facts here or everything coming from WG must be Soviet advertising material?
