Have you actually read the instructions?

 

Your company wants the players to grind missions that unlock periodically over the day and only stay active for 2h for 4 weeks straight. No human can do this, especially not the ones with family, friends or a job.

 

The only thing capable of even remotely pulling off what your company asks for in this event are bots.

you see players only as cash cows, nothing more

The graphic shows the captain of HMS Agincourt as a German.

 

If the British royal family weren't Germans at the time this would be an affront to humanity.

 

The event itself looks a bit demanding but if I can get a dog flag I will be happy.

Sorry for this mistake. It was probably some mistake during creating this artwork. We know about this and we will try to avoid this kind of mistakes in future.

Maybe not the right place but nevertheless; any plans to add an option to fly a third (or fourth for that matter) flag now you're tossing em' out like madmen? xD

 

Edit: Only for the vanity, ikr....

Not currently.. Not all the nations still have the possibility to mount two flags at the same time. 

You can always mount the flag you prefer the most, based on the style and doesn't necessarily needs to be of that ship or nation.

That is why I have Czechoslovakian flag on all ships

Relax.  

The event is not for you, it is designed for the disabled and unemployed.

 

WG can you livestream a member of your staff completing these missions?

 

**Puerto Rico memories intensifies**

Screaches of "But its Christmas and we have jobs!" noises coming from the WG staff room 

[CruisingForMermaids]

That seems like a hell of a lot of grinding for some very minor prize (permanent camo on a very poor T8 DD, big deal).

Ok so I guess for me , those 70 tokens containers are more atractive , as you can "win" a ship , chance is tiny but always , and collection ... I will only play T8 Ger DD do grind T9 Ger dd , and I will be useing 100% camos , and I have no plan what so ever to play any of those ships for "fun" , so that camo is useless for me.

I understood that reference!

 

So far the TL:DR version of this event for me is: (And PLEASE correct me if I am wrong, because that crap is complicated)

 

- Every 40 minutes a "task" activates

- The "task" is active for 2h

- You have to do the task within 2h or it will just disappear, giving you less points as a result

- There can be up to 3 "tasks" active at the same time

- A "task" gives up to 80 points for its completion

- You need 1500 points per week

- All of this over 4 weeks

 

- You also need to be in a good team

- You do not have any way of actually helping your team given the amount of players

- Your team needs to be in top 2 every week

 

So if you do the math, you get 80 points after the first 2h and then 80 points every 40 minutes. So ... 80 points after 2h and then you will have to do 18 tasks within those 40 minutes to get the remaining 1420. That is 2 + 12h ... or 14h in total ... AT BEST!!!! ... PER WEEK!!!!!

 

That is Puerto Rico levels of crap event design for ... NOTHING!

 

The commanders have no unique voice overs (not even the pointless grunts of the ape), the premium ships are tier 3 and 5, with the tier 5 most likely having garbage droprates, and the perma camo is for literally the 2nd worst DD for its tier in the game, a ship anyone should avoid at any cost.

Dont worry.

Youre feedback is very important to WarGaming.

I understand that there was discussion (in my head at least) on adding the following question to the player survey:

 

"We understand that many of you work and have a family.  Have you considered asking them to help you? 

Spreadsheet says that a family of 4 could easily complete tasks by taking it in shifts to grind turns to play. 

Fun Spreadsheet Fact:  Did you know that a 4 person household can easily play for 6 hours and have 18 hours to themselves with the use of efficient scheduling?"

PhD in nuclear physics required to understand the mechanic how this works...

...not so high requirements when it comes to understanding the rewards we "may be able" to get.

Hard pass

[BrotherOrion]

Excuse my english but that looks like a really s*** event to me.

[Cheeky_chappie]

Yep, because allowing us to buy the monumental amount of 6 Jutland containers with our hard earned tokens would be too much...  Nope! Only 2 comrade! And if you are unlucky enough to pull a camo for a ship you will never have from them, well you know where the premium shop is! Buy some mOAr!

I really hope Agincourt is not locked behind the boxes and will be in open sale too, it is a ship i would like to buy, but i'm not spending cash on WG's casino for it!

Quote

Battles that end after a mission expires are counted towards the next mission.

So it makes no sense starting a battle with less than 20 minutes before mission expires. So that means basically -20 minutes on mission timer. Somebody did something wrong at your distillery ?

 

Oh and I hope there's an opt-out button so I won't be bothered with the team selection screen on each login when I have no interest in the event ....

[SPIDERBAIT]

This event is in a fine state

[defender128]

You are all so preoccupied with how to, that you didn't stop and think you don't have to.

 

It's not like the rewards are worth anything anyway.

 

Skip for me. Ain't nobody got time for that

[Maris_Piper]

Do we get an Choice to Opt In or Out of this event at all?

[Potemkinb]

Let's all join to Lindwurm and show them a forum POWER!

No master of PhD degree is needed to understand these rules.

Simply try it out... you choose one team, in Battle of Beasts tab you can see part Mission... progressing through the missions parts  will give you points. For example, one of those missions were to score 800 000 damage to ships. I made a battle, had 115k damage, so I reached the first gap in this mission, so I got 20 points. Those points are visible in first tab of Battle of beast, where you can see the progress until the first reward of Beast tokens, personal one and also the team one.

But if you don't want to pay much attention to this, just choose a team and play as usual and you will slowly get some of those points for the selected team and after that you can get those Beast tokens, which you can exchange in Armory for some rewards.
