Poll: Is anyone considering pouring money into the captain rework?

[Ocsimano18]

Will you spend money or doubloons to upgrade your captains? The claimed motivation of WG is to make money on it.

[Yedwy]

No, I will speedgrind the few caps I really need to be maxed out in respective major nations and ships for CB use, the rest will either be upgraded in due time or never...

[cherry2blost]

Will spend Silver to recover 25% on unused Captains, but my wallet is firmly closed on this. Yamamoto, Kuznetzov and Halsey will be ranked to 21 then used on all Premium Ships to farm Elite XP to begin the Upgrade path on all my other 19 pointers.

Hell no! 

I worry that I might have to spend dubloons on retraining tho,,,,

You sir are one of the reasons why WG is going crazy on the increase of needed XP to get to level 21 

[Fatal_Ramses]

I have never used dubloons to convert cmdr exp or free-exp and I wont now.

I have saved up little over 2,4mil. of cmdr exp. That should get me going.

[RenamedUser_92906789]

I got it all planned out.

Shelf the mf!

[Karasu_Browarszky]

Not one penny kopek.

[MementoMori_6030]

 No way. I will hurry to reach the dockyard stage 15 before the update, and then observe the situation for a while.

 

Edit: Looks quite easy so far. I will finish the rest tomorrow. 

[Migantium_Mashum]

Real money?

 

Not a 'Snowflakes' chance in HELL...

----------

Using Dubs?

 

I rather slide naked down a razor blade...

----------

WG over the last 2 years has progressively closed my wallet ever tighter...

---------

I have 2.1 millions elite commander XP and over 1.1 million free XP with 14 level 19 Commanders on IJN, KM, US and Pan Asia... so I'll just stick with them with no great change to my game.

 

[Steel_duck_1]

Absolutely no!

[K82J]

I need like 350k captain xp to get a 21 pointer. I only have 2 19 pointers, one is a German, so i probably get in Narai with my Scharnhorst.

 

This rework was the thing that pissed me off so much that against my original plans i asked for a Santa crate refund.

[FatherTorque]

Hell no. I totaly reorganized my port just for this captain rework. 4 nations main: IJN, KM, US and UK. 1 or 2 tech tree from each nation, the rest all (mostly free) premiums and special ships. Already have John Doe, just unlocked Yamamoto, still grinding Halsey and will buy Lutjens. Already have like 2.7 mil free captain xp points and 4 level 19 captains, will spend captain xp and credits to level up Yamamoto and Halsey to 21. I'll use them to train Lutjens and Doe. From now on i'll spend money on premium ships only, but only with discount coupons and gift doubloons from crates. No money for captains from me and will use my main 4 captains on almost all my ships.

[Camperdown]

Hell no for me too.

Have you tried Narai during this week? Even with all the flags and mosaic camo, XP gains feel lower than usual. Some months ago pulling 50k commander exp with Atlanta or Boise was easy but, now its harder to breakt that 2k base-exp limit.

 

Have they lowered the base-exp on that? 1200  to 1400 base-exp seems to be quite normal this past week.

[Itwastuesday]

No? What build even needs 21 points other than secondary battleship which will be a joke anyway?

A lot of "standard" 19 pt builds today will have their equivalents cost 21 pts post rework, since the skills have increased in cost.

 

E.g. BB survivability build today:

1 pt skill of choice (PT, PM or EL usually)

EM: 2 pts

AR: 2 pts

BoS: 3 pts

SI: 3 pts

CE: 4 pts

FP: 4 pts

Total: 19 pts

 

Equivalent post-rework build:

1 pt skill of choice (Most of them are a bit meh, I guess maintenance specialist or loader make most sense)

Gunner: 2 pts

Survivability expert: 3 pts

Adrenaline Rush: 3 pts

Emergency repair expert: 4 pts

Fire prevention: 4 pts

Concealment expert: 4 pts

Total: 21 pts

 

If I want all the equivalent skills on Yamamoto as I have now, I need 23 skill points...

 

 

[Logan_MountStuart]

Absolutely no reason to spend cash or excess Dubs on the rework, but, yet again, there will be some who are so desperate to gain what they see as an advantage who spend money on minimal skill differences.

People often forget the changes affect everyone, and while there is definitely the possibility it makes some game play worse, it's the same for everyone.

Some say, if u move your captain now from one silver ship to another, and let it untrained, after the patch, he will be fully trained on the new ship for free. I switch one and let it untrained just to test this.

Also if i understood correctly, the retraining will  have cost reduced 90% , so will cost 50 dobloons. Plus each player with the account higher than level 8 will receive 500 dobloons and will be some missions to win aditional gold. So in total everybody will get 1100 dobloons.

[Cammo1962]

No way in hell.
