What is your "exit strategy" with the free Captain respec ending in less than 2 days away?

[Leo_Apollo11]

Hi all,

 

What is your "exit strategy" with the free Captain respec ending in less than 2 days away?

 

I did reset all my captains using the WG's "Mega Reset Button" immediately when new patch arrived (IIRC on 21.01.2021.) ...

 

During the patch I tried various setups for my captains and I think I have reasonable setups for my DDs, BBs and CVs (not so much so for CAs/CLs).

 

I bookmarked all my decisions using the "WoWs Fitting Tool" WWW site for quick reference (i.e. for each and every Tier X and/or "Special"  / "Premium" ship owned I have created bookmark using "WoWs Fitting Tool").

 

In game I, again - this time manually, reset all my captains to 0 and only kept setups for following captains:

 

• Tier X DDs
• Tier X BBs
• CVs
• DDs that I am still grinding (my reset and/or forgotten lines) <- Tier VIII & IX
• BBs that I am still grinding (my reset and/or forgotten lines) <- Tier VIII ("Kansas")
• CAs/CLs that I am still grinding (my reset and/or forgotten lines) <- Tier VIII & IX (but I used only "skeleton" = 10 points)

 

 

So... what are your thoughts and ideas regarding this?

P.S.

With each and every captain now having the possibility of "serving" all 4 classes (with your "Special"  / "Premium" ships) we now have to manually check and double-check all tabs in "All Skills" in order to be sure everything is OK... quite a tedious job without any visual GUI clues whatsoever by WG...

I reset manually all my captains last week, paying attetion to the ones I used on different classes to be sure that I forgot none.

 

I use som builds found on reddit, I bookmarked the google doc to get the builds I need if necessary. But to be honest, I think I will mainly use my legendary and special captains, for the few times that I will play the game, as my interest in it is rather low right now ...

Reset all, and demount all, maybe except 2-3 ships.

[ColonelPete]

I reset many of my high point captains yesterday.

Around 90% of my captains do not have their points distributed.

[RAHJAILARI]

I have rest all and re-skilled only the 21 pointers and a few others I plan to play on weekly basis, so of my 172 commanders perhaps 20 are skilled now, the rest I will do whenever I get to it. No hurry.

[DFens_666]

Basicly resetted everything which is a highpoint captain. Had some 10-11 pointers skilled on midtier ships, which i leave be. 10 pt builds always start the same anyway, and there is hardly any reason to deviate from that. So even if WG would nerf/buff skills, it probably wouldnt matter on those captains.

But for the 19pointers, i wanna be on the safe side.

Same here Cap'n. Hope we haven't missed one!

[meuhbat]

I settled on what build to use for my captains so I will reset only those I don't use. I don't have many lines, and won't take deadeye on US bbs so I don't fear a nerf. 

[Bindolaf_Werebane]

I don't have many captains, but you can be sure I reset them all. Forgot to demount modules, though, might do that today. Thanks for the reminder.

[Yedwy]

Most caps are reset and w8ll remain as such until actually needed...

[Puffin_]

I fear the upcoming Dead Eye NERF. So I reset all Captains with Dead Eye.

[Maris_Piper]

I reset all my Commanders ang I'm just using my highest ranked one in each nation for now, I don't have many tech tree ships anymore (Just keeping a few Favourites) as I sold off many I don't play, I would imagine WG will be ing about with these skills for the near future so I'll see what happens. TBH this  was one WG Brain Fart to many after a continuing stream of Dumb A$$ idea's, And the Flint thing Really P!ssed Me Off probably beyond reason but everyone has a breaking point lol

[hellhound666]

what remains to be asked is - where the fck is a captain management tool.

of course, being that developer doesnt play their game then it is no surprise that it is missing

Is this official? 

[hgbn_dk]

Going to reset all commanders not being on 21 points. Have used the reset all button once so most is already reset. Just have to do it manually for the ones I tested various builds on.

My plan is to use the 6 21 points commanders from 6 different nations I got, on my premium/special ships and the 6 silver ships they occupy. which is 126 ships and leave the rest unspecified until I really need them or until everything about the rework is settled.

 

Still considering demounting upgrades on all ships and the value vs time to go through 393 ships manually.

[Uglesett]

Reset all, going to demount a bunch of at least the more expensive modules if I have time and then... play Civ VI, I guess.

[Smeggo]

Respecced them all. Issue is - when I look at a ship in port and think about having to assign and spec a captain for it, my motivation to play is gone instantly. 

[HystericalAccuracy]

I´ve reset all captains. For now I play only some mid-tier ships which I am comfy with, plus ofc the line which is on re-grind. I do the basic skills like WD40, PM and concealment, many points stay unspent and will be distributed later. Rest of the fleet is mothballed.

 

Dazzle seem to be useless (DDs), DeadEye doesn´t do it for me (BBs) and cruiser-skills generally look like they are made by someone who doesn´t like cruisers.

[Dutchy_2019]

I will reset all captains, and probably for a little while work with a base 10pt set-up for these captains.

 

Might use one 21 pt captain for Ranked, though. Not sure which ship I will use him or her on.

[Camperdown]

Generally I think we have not had enough time to fully evaluate the new system. Myself, I think I have only half discovered what are the right choices. So much depends on your personal play style and preferences that I have not been able to fully grasp what to do for a number of skills and ship types 

[G01ngToxicCommand0]

I have more than 200 ships and captains. Simply can't be bothered with respeccing anything but the most played.

[Shagulon]

There are some WG sceptics out there :)

 

Good thinking guys, I'll follow suit. 

 

Incidentally, I just checked the reset all capts news article and the link to reset all capts has disappeared. Anyone confirm? I hope I don't have to do this myself manually, it is a big old task when you have 250 ships in port.

The link can only be used once, if you used it at the release of 0.10.0, you can't use it anymore ...

[JG4_sKylon]

I´ll reset all captains and then wait until WG made their final decision.

 

Btw, the amount of distrust towards WG should make them think....nah what am i thinking.

[Nauseica]

I reset all commanders to zero with the magic button and they will stay at this condition until the dust of this reeework settle down.

 

Probably il slack at coop when i want to play  with my virtual ships or possible il try to learn to play CV's and have fun at other people when they dodge my attacks.
