I screwed up and fell for the RESET hype

[DavyJonesFR]

Okay I have been away for 2 years and when I restarted last week, I fell for the "reset and get all this good stuff" line.

So I reset my American and Japanese destroyer lines that were filled out up through level 10.

Wow! That was a really stupid mistake, because I ended up getting no benefit from it at all.

Now I'm playing my Russian and German DDs, but will never restart the Japanese and American DD lines after all the time and expense I put into them.

I am very disappointed and wish I could undo my stupid decision to "reset".

Well, back to the game....see you all later. 

[Purnylla]

Could try to contact support and ask them to restore your account to the state it was in prior to the reset. 

 

Might work, might not work, but probably worth a shot. 

[Onsterfelijke]

You should get research points for that and half of the money if you didn't contact support to reverse this or fixed it!

 

P.s. reseting lines you do when you finished all lines and like to grind lines to get those extra stuff.

You could have just read the explanation of the procedure and prevent that.

I am always surprised that people decide something signficant, like removing their progress, without knowing what they are doing.

 

And yes, you can get good stuff, but resetting is only a small part of the procedure.

The rewards are research points but you have to play the ships in the reseted line again. If you had the 2x bonus then for the 2 lines you can get 30k points. Plus 10k points that WG gave for free - you have 40k . Few months of playing (daily missions that will give you 1200 points a month) and you can get a Paulo Emilio. Which is fun T9.

Hi Captain, 

As Purnylla mentioned to you. Try to hope a ticket about that with our Customer Support, and ask to restore your account, they might be able to help you. 😊

The IJN gunboat DD line is actually the one where you need the least XP to get the ships back, one way or the other. Akizuki is a total pain in the butt of course, because of the CV plague, but it is smart to at least reset that one once every quarter or so (whenever the 2x reset bonus comes on). Especially if you have an excess in Free XP. Then you can maybe Free-XP the low tiers and about half of Akizuki, suffer a bit and then calmly go through Kita again which only gets some 30% carrier plague battles. That way, you slowly but steadily accumulate RB points with minimal pain, just in case they drop some really OP idiocy again for which you need some.

It'd be a shame if that were to happen and you had no RB points at all and would need to really scramble madly for them then. Like, I dunno, some insanely stealthy hyper AA DD with guided SAMs or something. A man can dream.

No, good line for reset is the one you have permacamos for several mid-high tier ships and enjoy playing that line.

as far i know that this line is cheapest for use the free xp to buffer this up

[GarrusBrutus]

Lol. 

*Resets line*

Omg! It's actually reset to zero! 

*surprised face*

I'm talking about resetting and actually playing the line. Not wasting free xp which can be used for premium ships (1-2 mln)

Resetting with free xp grants RB points which can also be used for premium ships....

What I realized is that if someone does not have many free xp ships, the most efficient way is to spend free for free xp ships and just reset lines every 3 months and regrind them.

What I realized is that if someone does not have many free xp or all lines at TX, they shouldn't reset lines.

Of course, this why I'm rushing to 5 tier 10 and resetting instantly after

[Sir_Grzegorz]

Actually I liked the mission chain that required playing german ships. 

I reset and regring the german CA line getting the mission along the way (so two in one). 

But that does happened so far once, and reset just to regrind does not more appeal to me (I have RB points, but can't decide if I want to spend them).

Heck, even after reading everything I could find on the subject, months after it was implemented, I still hesitated the first time I hit the reset button.

You probably should regrind those lines, to get the RP, but do so judiciously, and possibly make use of some free xp here and there. You'll have probably worked out much of this already, but the following might be of slight help (and all IMO, of course):

• A bit late, but you don't have to do regrinds; at the moment, there is nothing 'must have' gated behind RP.
• Generally speaking, the only things worth spending RP on are ships; for everything else, the reward doesn't justify the effort.
• If you aren't impatient, ideally only reset a line when you get the x2 bonus; again, the effort-reward calculus is poor most of the time. The x2 resets periodically; you can see when the next one is via your tech tree (I think the next one is of the order of a couple of weeks away).
• Generally, you want to reset the same line over and over, rather than lots of different ones; the main reason for this is that it allows you to keep a decent captain available for every ship that you'll actually play more easily (I think I have at least a 19 pointer for everything from T6-9 on my main regrind line for instance); this avoids wasting resources on retraining captains etc.
• Pick your lines to regrind carefully: you're after a balance between efficiency and fun (assuming you aren't just going to free xp everything; if you do that, just pick the IJN dakka DD line, as it's the cheapest); if you're going to play at least some of the ships, you want them to be ones you enjoy, whilst still being mindful of the effort (some lines require substantially more xp to finish than others). This site can be helpful for working out xp costs: https://wowsft.com/research
• Use free xp, but be smart: my approach is to save my free xp for modules, and try to unlock the next ship in the line by playing as much as possible (sometimes patience fails me).
• Save your signals (dragons especially), and top-end cammo for when you really need them; personally, I tend to use Type 59 cammo lower down the tree, and switch to Asian (if I have them) around T8.
• A *potential* exception to the 'only one line at once' rule can be where a line splits (the IJN DDs, for example); if you reset both branches at the same time, you can save some resources with the lowest tiers before the split. Personally, I don't usually do this, as the resources saved don't make up for the 'loss' of the double bonus for one of the two branches (you only get the x2 on the first branch reset).
• Be mindful that you'll be without the ships in the line(s) that you reset for as long as it takes you to regrind them; this is most pertinent when there are snowflakes in the offing, but can sometimes be relevant for more prosaic missions.
• Keep an eye on your silver reserves; when you reset a line, you only get half the silver cost back (although upgrades etc. are demounted for free), so you'll need extra to rebuy things as you progress back up the line, and not everyone earns enough as they go (especially if f2p and/or making heavy use of free xp).

So, messing with regrinds and the RB can be worthwhile, but it's worth taking a bit of time to maximise the return on your efforts/resources. To repeat though, while it can be worthwhile (and, for me, it has very much been so), you don't *have* to regrind if you don't want to.

Good points made by Verblonde.

However I feel that the RB is meant as end game content for seasoned players who need to be kept busy regrinding after having reached all silver tier tens. Yet nowadays i see people with RB-ships who have played just over 2000 games. Then i think to myself: Either the RB content is that good that it justifies spending money on, or it makes people blind for all other silver lines by merit of being "speshul ships".

There are better single use camos giving much better XP bonuses then parmacamos, fully agree on enjoy playing part.

For people with relatively low battle counts, it could be as simple as the improved economy that these things have as well - this is another way of getting a T9 premium or T10 'special' with permaflage, either of which will be much more profitable than a silver ship of the same tier.

 

If you're still actively researching new lines, RB ships are a straightforward way to generate the necessary silver...?

 

(Says he who - currently - has one RB ship and almost never plays it.)

[Karasu_Browarszky]

I'd restart on the Japanese DD line if I were you.

Granted, it is not as much fun the second time (due to reasons...), but I did it so it is relatively doable without going incredibly insane. In the current meta, actually, it makes more sense to reset DD lines than BB lines, not to mention cruiser lines but individual perceptions may vary.it.)
