[NMA] Prophecy82 Players 3,362 posts 26,028 battles Report post #2 Posted October 21, 2021 Played a few matches this morning and credit where credit is due: Razorblade is quite refreshing to play (it has a "sharks"-vibe). Everything else around is either lackluster (like the rewards) or same old (like the mode). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[RN-PO] gms763 Players 60 posts 13,721 battles Report post #5 Posted October 21, 2021 Played it on the PT server and it seems to be a quick and dirty revamp of last year's Halloween hunt which now just seems to be sink anything that moves. I seem to remember Wargambling's excuse last year for a poor offering was the impact of the Covid lockdown. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[ALONE] Smeggo Modder 2,485 posts 15,344 battles Report post #7 Posted October 21, 2021 Still no penalty for leaving. So start battle - sink two monsters - leave battle. Repeat 3 times, 3 daily missions done in 2 minutes. PS: The mode itself is not bad, but as we don't even get XP for daily-containers, there is not much point. I miss the Halloween-DD-battle-royale and the Halloween-submarines-operation, these were really fun (and rewarding) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Divisions are allowed in this mode. Basically, if you are in a division you will be in the same battle, you just have to find each other there (usually spawns are quite close from each other) 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If not otherwise specified the XP received from events, mission, etc. is transferred to T1 Russian Cruiser Orlan. I think the internal system has to allocate the XP somehow to the player for it to count. So the XP goes first on the event ship, then onto Orlan. My Orlan has almost 900k XP on it, and I don't play that ship at all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[-S3I-] Peroidas Players 238 posts 5,772 battles Report post #16 Posted October 21, 2021 Haven't played it much last two times it happened (managed to get one of unique commanders though) so I find the mode quite entertaining, testing ships and weapon configs. But... Either I do not understand sth or the rewards are just crap this time? Battle Points are only counted towards missions with lackluster rewards? And if I wanted the camo or commanders I have to spend 4500-5000 dubloons? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Basically, if you are in a division you will be in the same battle, you just have to find each other there (usually spawns are quite close from each other) Oh really? Are you even aware that some "toxic" dudes are abusing the possibility to team up by leaving the division and killing you at point blank range? No offense but judging by the time I saw you play this mode I seriously doubt that. But hey, maybe I`m wrong. Witnessed this "fun experience" yesterday. 3 guy-division. I have made the mistake to park myself next to those "players" (in a Whirlwind). One leaves the division, opens fire, pops his Damage reduction consumable and kills me on the spot. Joins the division afterwards again imho. And I have absolutely no idea why. Terrific implementation Weegee, as always. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[OGHF2] Hugh_Ruka Players 4,054 posts 5,647 battles Report post #19 Posted October 22, 2021 So ... We get captains that have no skills and don't generate ECXP. We don't get any FreeXP. This battle mode does not count towards ANY missions other than the Hunt specific ones. No credits gain, nothing. The only reward is from the missions. Erm ... and there are submarines in this mode as well (Fangblade and co) ... Why bother ? EDIT: Oh and the description of the ships and their features is a total catastrophe ... One of the DDs has ridiculously high arming distance on the torpedoes but that is nowhere described. Also Artillery section contains something that is basically secondaries but it is not described as such etc ... I played like 5 games and I had no clue what was doing what simply because of the missing description of basically everything ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So the best way would be to take your friends, form a division and go to the battle together. Though you won't be in division from the beginning, but your spawns will be next to each other, so you can very fast form a division, to also avoid those "toxic" dudes. But the thing is, how would you restrict someone from not doing that? 32 minutes ago, Hugh_Ruka said: So ... We get captains that have no skills and don't generate ECXP. We don't get any FreeXP.

Fangblade can hide underwater, but can't fight there. So basically it is not a submarine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
