Question about RESEARCH POINTS?

[LJNJ]

Hello,

 

In order to earn some research points do I need to reset the whole T10 line and then grind it AGAIN from the beginning just to get 20k- ish research points??

Are you F***** kidding me?

I just reset two T10 lines in order to hope il get research points IMMEDIATELY after reset, not AFTER FUC**** GOING THROUGH whole grind from the BEGINNING AGAIN???

 

Did I overlook something or that is how it works?

Well, yeah. That's how it works. You need one win in every ship after T5 to get the associated research points.

Happy grind.

[ollonborre]

That is how it works. Better get those grinding pants on or stockpile free XP. Oh and don't forget you need a win in each ship above tier 5 in order to get the full bonus.

Nope that's exactly how it works. One small piece of good mews for you though, you can   get 1200 RP every month if you can manage to do 75 daily missions.

That's about the size of it, although how hideous an experience it is can vary dramatically. FWIW I take the following approach:

• Try and only regrind lines where I can get the x2 bonus (unless there is a pressing time-related reason to get RP as quickly as possible), to maximise return on my time - I don't believe the RP you get for a 'standard' regrind justify the effort.
• Have a decent captain for every ship you actually need to play (so probably T5+, and certainly those ships higher up that you'll probably have to play repeatedly).
• Regrind the same line multiple times, rather than lots of different ones; the reason for this is that you can pick a cheaper line (in my case it's the second cheapest - the IJN Shima line), and it's easier to maintain a decent captain for each ship you need to play (T5+).
• Use Free XP, but pick your spots; personally, I free xp (and don't buy) up to T4, ditto T5 (and buy the ship), and from T5, I free xp modules. If you want to be profligate, you can use free xp a lot more than that, but by actually playing ships, you save free xp that might be needed elsewhere (bloody 21 point captains for instance).
• Save up your best cammo and signals: things go a lot faster if you stack things like dragon flags and Asian cammo (this matters more as you go up the tiers, of course).
• On a related note, keep an eye on missions that are happening; you're going to generate a lot of all types of xp whilst doing this (assuming signal/cammo stacking), and it's nice if you can be maximising the usefulness of these earnings at the same time.

Luckily, there isn't really anything that's 'essential' in the RB (at least not yet, and this was the key source of the uproar over the original proposal in ye olde times - the first version would have made regrinds essential for competitive players), so you can generally take your time and/or ignore the thing entirely.

Or.......... just do not bother grinding for it and play the ships you like.

ps. I spend 5 million fxp on Colbert.

All of these plus play a line you enjoy and/or are good at, no point in regrinding the IJN DD lines if it is a chore and you can't make them work.

This. All manner of this!

 

(Thanks for the reminder - I should have included this in my earlier post.)

You could have read the description on your screen.

That is usually a good idea when you do something significant like deleting part of your progress.

"research points" are soooo 2020.

In 2021 we are now hating Dead Eye.

I think I will perform decent at any line, BB's only line I don't play (exception is Missouri for credits and fun ships as bismarck/tirpitz).

CV's I stopped playing even thought I was super unicum in them before rework.

Now, CV's are just cancer and I refuse to play them.

What I do want however is to grind all fun ships that are there, and Yolo Emilio is one of them, but path to Yolo Emilio is, what I learn now from your feedback, very painful.

Yes, that could work!!! But too bad is that I already deleted two T10 lines.

Now, my brain is in pain.

You're reading too much into what I wrote then.

Regrind lines that you are comfortable with, simply because it will be easier and more enjoyable to move up the line up to tier X again. Make use of FreeXP, special camos and flags and RP seasons (next one should start in a few days)

I've found it anything but painful, but if it sounds like that to you, then don't do it. Simples.

Can understand that but not surprised tho, there always seems to be a bit of "lost in translation" going on in this game, completely unintentional of course 

How it actually works doesn´t come across as clear as could be expected. 

 

WG clearly says that resetting will bring x2 battle performance  bonuses (?) with research points

"battle performance  bonuses" ???

Nothing about having to regrind

 

 

No info about regrind  hiding behind the "details" tab either

New players might not know how it works and perhaps WG should be a bit more clear on what actually is happening

 

 

 

EDIT: it actually does have the info...

By decyphering this box you get the info

"by entering a battle with a ship of a reset branch" and of course to enter battle u need to have researched and bought the ship

I didn't read it as I should.

I YOLO'ed into reset as trying to YOLO for YOLO Emilio. I was willingly wanted to give away two T10 ships juts to get one fun ship as YE is.

 

I was blinded by thought that BBs will see smoke moving towards them as fast as 55+ knots.

Such a fun thought, can only imagine how fun ship  is actually to play.

 

So if I understand correctly does "x2 battle performance  bonuses" means I will grind twice as faster?

No, it means that you'll get 20k RB points instead of 10k for the line that has the double bonus on it.

Instead of x1 multiplier you get x2, so 10k research points vs 20k. You could multiply this by spending free exp.

 I am sure many others did too

No.. it means you get 20k research points total when you have re grinded and won a battle in every ship above tier 5 

When you are done it will only have a 10k research points total (if you wanna go again right away) until the next doubler occurs 6 months ? not quite sure

Pretty sure it's 3 months

[LJNJ]

Captains, thank you for clarification.

Seems like I will just grind to Hindenburg again and will get 20k for it + 12.6k I already have makes it total of around 32k, So I will need 12k more for YE and I think il regrind one of DD lines again, since that is easiest for me (outside CV's I don't play anymore).

 

Wont bother to regrind Kremlin line since in my hands ship is crap.

Bonus will be renewed in three or four days (beware of WG's timining). So if you wait with the rest, you can get the bonus again.

15 November 2020 was last reset moment for 2x multiplier, meaning 15 February 2021 the next multiplier (x2) will become available. Indeed every 3 months you have a multiplier x2 IF you finished the previous reset within the mentioned time frame, otherwise you will be facing only a normal reset!

Are you sure? I did reset my first line like 2 weeks ago, and I'm still on tier V as I thought I can take time and get another line for x2 multiplier... No way I can grind to Nevski in 3 days...
