Update 0.9.3.1: Hayate for Free XP

[gabberworld]

you guys are funny tho, if you ask why ? because this ship is free,

its basically same like you play tech tree ships form tier 1 to tier 10

That's a rather unique way of adapting. I myself tend to use more signals on 100%-/200%-weekends, too and demount them after the first win. But that sort of behavior is not likely to drive Wargamings pricing calculus.

 

Also, I can't remember who made that point before, that FXP was the easier ressource since it was used for Freemium ships only, while coal was needed for so many things in the armory. I just looked at my current grinds and it seems I would need 500k FXP just to get the uprades for my stock ships. What you gotta say about that Wargaming. It's not that I got FXP lying around for no reason. I do so since I torture myself through your A-hull nightmare.

Wait, 100%/200% weekends still exist? Haven't seen those around in years!

 

Well, I do not use FreeXP where I can use ship XP. Only 2 exceptions in my time playing WoWs*: stock Fuso (back when it had 13,6km range, no pagoda masts and no armor) and stock Izumo (back when it was what we all remember it to be - I actually spent a fair sum there as even FreeXPing the B-hull proved not enough and went directly for the C-hull for at least some rudder shift and token AA - might have been like 90k FreeXP back then, large sum for me at te time).Fuso I learned to love when the upgraded hull was on, Izumo is still one of my most atrocious blemishes in stats... Might need to retry it some time, except... how could I possibly correct the hundreds of awful battles I had to play back then (you know, back when no special signals existed, basically no camos with appreciable bonuses either and when I certainly had no ways of even hoping for premium time)?

 

*Not counting the couple cases where after a long grind I found myself 150 xp short of the next ship, upgrade etc. and just couldn't stomach another battle for that token amount. Then I sure shell out the FreeXP here and there without losing much in the grand scheme of things.

No, this ship costs the same as 80000 doubloons. It's not FREE. Nothing is FREE. It costs TIME. TIME for me is much more valuable than money and yet the money amount I find outrageous. 750k for Missouri was WAY too expensive but I got it. WG gauged how many people are willing to either grind or PAY for a ship and it turns out they're still ok with pricing ships at such an absurd level. Probably because people keep paying for this crap, not because people can grind it. Don't worry, they'll ramp the prices even more in the future if the money keeps flowing.

And as for the second statement - that's just a blatant lie. You're nowhere near the 2 mil FXP value when grinding from T1 to T10. If it were regular, elite XP from a ship of your choice, it wouldn't be an issue but then WG wouldn't make money...

Stop shilling for this horrible, greedy company and their horrible, greedy practices.

so you have hurry to somewhere? game ends tomorrow so i need get that fast? i not even care about the free xp ships because i not even opened all my tech tree ships yet

 

i think you guys forget something, this is a game

[416taylor]

I have collected almost every ship reachable in the game and wanted to contineu with that but  I gonna give that up. it is not worth it. I meen  2.000.000 fxp for a destroyer 80.000 doublions, not far from 300 euro. just hold your horses WG. you must be on to heavier stuff than vodka.

Yes I can spend my hard earned fxp on them but I won't. I know that you want players to change doublions into fxp, but I won't. The RB didn't work now you try it this way but we not gonna buy that either. can't you see, there is a limit on how much things are worth

Yes … a DD!

 

CVs, numerous radar, spam 90 kph torps and coming soon to a cinema near you … submarines!

 

Anyone want to cough up 2M Free XP for a DD right now? No? How strange.

Yes. I do in fact. I have to hurry to have a life, take time with my family, do stuff around the house, play with my dog, (insert a thousand different things in here). The time you have in a day, in a month, in a life, is actually very limited. Maybe you'll get that at some point. This is the hidden leverage scum like WG use to incentivize spending ridiculous amount of money on pixel boats, tanks etc. As for the statement about this being a game, so what? When you're invested in something, when you like something, when you enjoy something, don't you care about it? If so, I truly envy you, but I can't approach this without emotion.

so why to you even complain if those thing more important for you ? i think you just waste your time for complain, read the forum, read this post and also enable the pc

[Asureas]

So hoarded 4 million fxp on the basis that I expected WG to chage either 1.5 or 2M for these two ships.

Definitely not the best player out there.

Smaland I've generally gotten to work and had some nice games with her.

Hayate I'm finding rather tricky - generally her manuverability seems to be the problem - it's very Shima like (not surprisingly) and limits her in a dd on dd fight her guns aren't good enough to be a full gun dd like the gunboat line, her concealment is 6km with all the buffs which isn't terrible but isn't great either.

Torps are good but shimas are better.

I've only played a few games in her at the moment but thinking she'll basically be a torp leaning hybrid, feels kind of gearing like but with shima's manouverability.

As for the fxp cost - it's a lot but they crossed the 1.5M barrier before at T9 so T10 was likely to be more, yes it's a lot but on the other hand fxp is free just for playing the game so....

 

Perhaps she'll grow on me - at the moment though if you have 2M fxp and another fxp ship you don't have I'd go for that first.

Don't worry, I'm using the time I'd be wasting by playing WoWs to post here.

Dont worry they are still forcing RB down our throat with lengendary upgrades in there even if nobody wants it and you still have to regrind like an insane to get them. And you wont get WG to admit the RB is a fiasko they have to much prestige in it.

Huh? Did I miss something here? Pray tell. All FreeXP ships at T9 were either 750k FreeXP (Missouri, Kronshtadt and Musashi) or 1 million FreeXP for the more recent ones (Alaska, Azuma, Friesland). That's why the sudden jump to double the amount was so jarring.

Somebody in WG needs to stop taking shrooms. Just say no

Not worth to spend 2M on ANY ship! It's a matter of principle, at least for me. I was dumb enough to not get Musashi at the time (got only Krohnstadt, than in my mirror popped-up a donkey!) so I rather spend FXP on Captain skils. All said, everyone is free to do whatever they want. 

[Wulf_Ace]

2 mil exp for a average or below average ship or instead researching 2 lines of tier 10 ships? hmm yes the second choice.

Guess this is only a option for people that have a lot of tier 10 ships.

I have all the uu and until first of januari to complete them. I have 6-7 ships that I will grind the uu for. I dont play with all my ships (366) and the uu  is not that good as it often takes out other qualities.

I noticed. One could argue though it's not a weekend event like they used to be (every weekend for 100% first win, select ones for more).

Oh well, my premium time is ending anyway and I'll be even more overloaded with work than the last awful month, so... just as well.

Love your profile pic your gorgeous :)

 

Missouri and Musashi were 750k, i'm pretty sure the krondstadt was first 1mill and about the right price, for a t10 I would have expected somewhere around the 1.25 mill mark. But to double it and make it a 2 million for a totally mediocre T10...just no...unless your swimming in FXP...just say no. They dump a lot of these on not too bright players then 2 mill becomes the norm...just don't do it people :)

 

That's almost 6 Nelson, almost 3 Missouri or a Freisland and Azuma. You could also grind the Kremlin and Grozovoi from T5 and have 12 new ships in port and be halfway to an Ohio.

 

The price hike to double the previous FXP vessels cost is just another way WG are reducing value and trying to drain away players accumulated in game wealth, same with Coal ships, Special commanders for almost 200k coal and crates for doubs in the armoury. Less flags and camo in crates, less gold, gold compensation for duplicates all reduced or removed. And Super containers, I think using those words is border line false advertising there is little in them these days. Yeah they are FREE and as such always welcome, but they are no longer in anyway super and another indicator of the WG concerted attempt to drain away accumulated in game wealth. They do this in the hope of forcing players into spending the huge sums this game can cost. So save your money and save your FXP and accumulated wealth till they put some value back into stuff again. I've stopped spending on this, my main account and my grandsons account, I started playing with 9 other family members and friends from WoT but I am the last one still playing and have now stopped spending. It's personal choice of course but you can play this reasonably well for FREE, or as I have found there are a ton of other games without the frustrating mechanics or money milking practices you find here. 

 

2 million fxp for Hayate...JUST DON'T lol

Yeah, the doubling in price was absurd indeed.

As for Kronshtadt, it was still 750k FreeXP. Alaska was the first million one.

2M FXP......  No thnx
