Marliac ∞ Players 21 posts 26,064 battles Report post #1 Posted August 10, 2020 Suggestion: 2500 doubloons for 24 hours to Remap all commanders skills I believe it would be great. Many people complaining about missing the days of free remaps. Question: 2500 is too little? maybe more? Extra note: Maybe also something like that but more expensive to include retraining.

[NWP] Ubertron_X [NWP] Beta Tester 2,657 posts 25,768 battles Report post #8 Posted August 10, 2020 The problem is that different game modes usually require different skill sets (random, ranked, clan wars) which also very much dependend on the rules set for the different modes (e.g. CV allowed or not). And speaking from personal experiece at least I can not be bothered to either have multiple captains for one and the same ship or use doubloons, elite xp or free xp to respecc my captains every time a new ranked or CW season starts. Which means that I usually spec for the most common game mode (random) and have to live with the fact that I will fight ranked or clans wars with a suboptimal captain. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[BRITS] Origin47 Beta Tester 434 posts 10,686 battles Report post #9 Posted August 10, 2020 I think free captain respec should be available for 4 to 7 days at the beginning and at the end of each ranked/clan wars season. Also, individual cost should be lowered to 100 doubloons from 500. @Yedwy I remember. It used to be free for the duration of the entire season, however Weegee's goodwill dried up. :) I also stayed away from wows since summer 2018 till the "current global event". 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We had that befiee but it went away as cvs came, it would be nice if we had one every 3 or 4 months but we dont seem to get that either, IIRC last free respec was what february? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I think you needed to apply for it. Since wows is a free game we need to find ways so they make some money in order to keep improving this game. A full 24h resmap I think it could be popular and they make some money from it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Padds01 Players 855 posts 7,546 battles Report post #12 Posted August 10, 2020 i did no research when picking commander skills, i missed that ifhe free do over window, i didnt know the rules of moving captains to and from premium/special ships. i dont specialise in any articular line and play a fairly wide range of ships on a rotation. i dont think i have a single commaner with his points in where i would like them id have to re take out a mortgage to correct this so i just live with it. kinda sucks 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[R7S] lovelacebeer Players 4,158 posts 25,228 battles Report post #15 Posted August 10, 2020 Of course the idea of free respec or doing it for silver would be wonderful however I cannot see WG being that generous, we don't even get free respec's as a matter of course for clan wars anymore. The idea of buying a fleet wide respec would be interesting but 24 hours is a bit of a tight window to test things out, especially if you have a lot of ships. To motivate people to spend that kind of doubloons in one go I would think 48 or 72 hours would make it a more tempting proposition. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I seriously doubt the fairly marginal income they get from people resetting commanders outweighs the general user annoyance at having to pay for it. And making it free will also make it easier to implement changes to the skill tree without pissing off users more than necessary. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[OGHF] Cyclops_ Players 2,108 posts 36,216 battles Report post #21 Posted August 10, 2020 How about being able to convert a ships stored XP once you have researched the next ship in the tech tree line?? Proviso is that the Ships XP can only be converted to Captain Skill Points of the same country as the Ship? This can be a straight swop or something like 100 ship XP to 1 Captains Skill point?? And if you want to reset a captains Skills, say 1 Million ship XP?? What do you think @Excavatus ? Just a thought.

waxx25 Players 1,296 posts 11,488 battles Report post #25 Posted August 10, 2020 Idk, it might be a problem for people who don't have a lot of 19 point captains. And a free reset once achieving 19 points is not a bad idea. Personally I dont care, most of my ships are already 19 pointers and I grind elite commander XP so fast that I never worry about retraining or getting a new 19 point captain. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
