How many 21-Pts Captains do you have?

[Prophecy82]

Its about a year that WG (in their infinite wisdom) told us about the glorious Captain-Rework. 

Getting Captains to 21-Pts is (as expected) an insane grind. 

So, how many do you have today and how did you start in the rework? 

 

I was able to save up ~5M CXP when the Rework hit, which allowed me to get 5 Captains up to 21 Pts. 

Today I have 9 Captains... I wouldnt have one more if it werent for the CXP from the five initial 21-Pters. 

[quickr]

I have 10x 21p captains. All of them were "made" when cpt skill rework hit with all of my 20M or something cpt XP. They are mostly "special" captains on the ships i play the most.

I'm fairly sure I haven't been able to push any other captain from 19 to 21 in the past year.

[Mad_Dog_Dante]

Zero-zero. I had a buttload of 19 pnt captains, but the new skills are so bland and poorly designed that 19 points is enough to get crucial skills online and none of the new ones are actually able to compete with the old builds. (i dont play clanbattles mind you). The 2 extra points are fluff and absolutely not worth the bizarre and abusive grind. I've played normally and havent been able to get any 19 pointer to 21 before I quit. All the captain rework did for me was add to the feeling of being shat on by this poor excuse of a game developer. I've really never been part of a target audience that is treated so poorly lol. I don't understand why people put up with this kind of abuse ^^

[Captain_Breeze]

I had quit a bit of Cpt XP saved up, perhaps over 8 million.

 

I do agree with @Europizza on this though. Just another nail in the WoWS coffin as far as I'm concerned.

[Mad_Dog_Dante]

I forgot, but isn't the 19-21 grind equal to the 1-19 grind in XP needed?

Last time I checked that the midpoint was somewhere at around 18 skillpoints. Exact numbers are on wows wiki tho...

 

EDIT

Some exact numbers:

You need total 2.908 million xp to get from level 1 to level 21.

Half of that (1.454 million) will get you level 18 and 9% progress to level 19.

 

[Spezieh]

I was close to have my first lvl 19 captain when the rework came. So still no captain finished...

[BruceRKF]

I had enough captain xp lying around to get one captain to 21. It's still the only one. Of course it doesn't help that I like to constantly change which ships I play, not the same ones all the time. If the progression was roughly equal to what it is from 1 to 19, I might have some additional 21 pointers by now (or at least 20 pointers, only one made it from 19 to 20 so far). The grind is insane. I just don't bother aiming for it though.

[invicta2012]

It's greater. 1.7 million for Levels 1 - 19, 2.2 million for levels 19 - 21.

1.708 from 1 to 19

1.200 from 19 to 21

Yeah well....so was getting to 15 points for concealment at the start. Blame wg for introducing inflation in the first place, not for countering it.

[Yedwy]

Well I didnt have any when the rework hit I have several now prob more then 10

[1MajorKoenig]

I use mostly dedicated captains - a waste I know but a little luxury I want to have.

 

I did not spend any Free Captains XP on this idiocy. Most of of the 19pts captains are still that - 19 pts (or maybe 20 pts)

 

I have one that I played a bit more and which got to 21 pts but I can’t say I care about maxing out captains anymore after the captains rework. Too blatant of a devaluation.

Currently gathering elite commander exp for the 59th on Soviet CV and there was a mention of a special mission for Soviet commander coming up, not sure if he will have some aircraft skills, we'll see.

 

[AkerJack]

Almost all my T10 ships have 21 points captains but some of them share the same one like Halsey. Now, I've just got Italian ships and slowly slowly those capts will get there too...

[MoveZig]

Still none, used to have 3 19-point elite-XP farmers but that rework really  pulled the carpet out from under my feet. It got pretty desperate until I realized I could dismiss spare captains for elite-XP (albeit for creds).

Holy cow  - and 44k battles…

[NoirLotus]

Zero !! 

 

Yamamoto and Honoré are at 20 pts and nearly halfway to 21. But it is so freaking long to get them to 21 ...

[OldSchoolFrankie]

Mr. Conway might say, "I don't have 21 point commanders because I have a job."

 

Just a guess, of course!

20 battles a day on average (less in workdays more in weekends) for the last 5 years and 8 months. With only 2 breaks for 1 month. 

[Captain_Breeze]

At the age of 52, I'll probably be dead before I get anymore 21 pointers. 

[Jvd2000]

Only have Halsey as my first and only T21. And 2/3 of that was CXP boosted.

I had several 19 pointers ( like my 19 non special Zao cpt)  but they have been ignored. With the new rework I only play a limited number of a few ships that I want to grind ( that have regular 10-14 pnt captains) and more high tier premium ships. So that really promotes focused use of only my special captains. But even then I only have 4 other legendary/ special captains  ( Cunningham, Kuznetsov, Yamamoto and one of the French brothers) that have reached lvl 20 and are still far away from reaching 21. 
 

Also the fact that I kept all ships and their captains from T5 onwards did not help leveling much of them past 14 points or so.

Same. After the rework I've reset all my captains and only played the special ones. In the 7 months I kept playing none of the few captains I still used got to 21. Then again, I played less and less since everything about this game went down the pooper really fast. And still continues to.

2.2 million for levels 19 - 21

2.2? 

From 19 to 20 500k

From 20 to 21 700k.  So it's 1.2 mln. 

Imho it should be 

19 to 20 360k

20 to 21 440k. So 800k would be easy more fair than what we have now.

Hi all,

 

I currently have:

• 5x 21
• 4x 20
• 12x 19
• 3x 18
• 3x 17
• 7x 16
• 3x 15
• 3x 14
• 4x 13
• 4x 12
• 4x 11
• 40x 10

 

141x "Silver" ships

111x "Premium" ships

 

All my "Silver" ships have at least 10 point captain on - I don't have specialized captains for any "Premium"  / "Special" ships...

 

I have around 1.3M "Elite Captain XP" stored and will slowly bring all 20 and 19 point captains to 21 points... it is  long long long grind...
