Hi all,

 

[Poll] It has been 1 year since the last "Commander Skill reconstruction" (and switch from MAX 19 -> 21) - how many 21-point captains do you have now?

 

 

Here is what I have:

• 21 = 6
• 20 = 6
• 19 = 9
• 18 = 3
• 17 = 3
• 16 = 7
• 15 = 2
• 14 = 3
• 13 = 5
• 12 = 4
• 11 = 5
• 10 = 45
• 9 = 1
• 8 = 5
• 7 = 4
• 6 = 58
• 5 = 1
• 4 = 3
• 3 = 6
• 2 = 0
• 1 = 0

P.S.

I also have around 5M "Elite Captain XP" - spending it wisely and on occasion...

[Azalgor]

0. I didnt even bother putting any comander points since then at all after i reset them. Palying naked comanders. Some are random chance, some got changed, most are useless.

[Piratenmaedchen]

One. Except for 0 point placeholders, he's my only commander.

Why does it even matter? It's a wg set up to force players play much more games or spend money to increase their cmdr skills to max. along with removing the achievement signals. Though, achievements are still there meaninglessly, without any reward. Such threads only contribute to the greedy wg policies.

[rinkula_go]

I think unique commanders at least 20 pts and most of them 21 pts.

Also lines that I reset those high tier commanders are 21 pts.

[Phyrefli]

3, with enough elite commander XP to bring up a 4th to 21.

 

They're all on cruisers that I use for CBs though.

 

IIRC I had 4x19 pointer captains when they did the rework. 

[cracktrackflak]

I had about 250 captains in the 10-19 point range at the time of the change.

 

I wasn't prepared to pay money, hand over all my credits, fxp and cxp, throw away hundreds of hours of cxp grinding or spend hours reconfiguring captains for multiple ships - so I abandoned most forms of competitive gameplay and continue on with my captains as they were pre-rework.

 

If WG had been a bit less greedy and allowed players a better rate of cxp recycling, then I might have continued to take the game seriously and support their pvp modes.

 

 

[Aethervoxx]

As I have a dedicated Cpt on all my ships it will be quite some time before I even have one 21 pt Cpt. My best is currently at 19.

Since the Cpt pt increase was nothing but another barf from WG to scam players, I'm not supporting, in any way, butt licking of WG's butt .

[Aragathor]

I have 3, plus 2 20p that are close.

[Charley_Nasca]

Here is what I have:

• 21 = 19
• 20 = 2
• 19 = 20
• 18 = 3
• 17 = 2
• 16 =5
• 15 = 2
• 14 = 3
• 13 = 3
• 12 = 9
• 11 = 13
• 10 = 15
• 9 = 1
• 7 = 6
• 6 = 16
• 4 = 2
• 3 = 6
• 2 = 3
• 1 = 3
• 0 = 22

 

[Khaba_Gandalf]

15 right now, with 6 more commanders on their way from lv20 to 21.

 

And while I do have a ton of spare 19pt captains (~30) from the old pre-rework days (when ECXP were "easy" to get and thus 19pt commanders easy to "print"), I think only a minority will reach max level. Reason being that 19pt is more often than not "good enough" (outside of CB ships) and with how commanders and premium ships interact nowadays, there is only a finite numbers of 21pt commanders you need to cover all your bases.

 

Let's take the US techtree as an example: I already have Halsey (DM) at max level, I want Ovechkin (Gearing) at some point hitting lv 21. Beyond that there is no real need for me to also raise both my Doe twins (Montana & Vermont) to 21 or any of the non-special commanders. I don't regrind US lines, I don't play Montana and Vermont enough to justify raising those brothers and between Halsey and Ovechkin I cover most high tier US premiums and at mid/low-tier either a dedicated 19pt commander or a not fully optimized 21 dude is more than enough. 

 

So my plan for the intermediate future is to have two 21 commanders for all the big nations (and one for the smaller ones)..should be doable. Anything beyond that is way too far into the future, that I would seriously care about it.

To be fair, I really didn't give a fk after that shameful grab. I found the 2 extra points to be hardly worth an exessive grind or trade in. Also, I played random mostly, 19 points is enough for stable builds there. I stopped playing twice last year, and am still inactive ever since.

[Max_Kammerer]

Leo_Apollo11's poll forced me to take an inventory of my captains, because after the rework I lost track of what I actually have :) - and finally I was surprised

 

• 21p - 14
• 20p - 2
• 19p - 40
• 17p - 1
• 16p - 4
• 15p - 3
• 14p - 4
• 13p - 5
• 12p - 7
• 11p - 16
• 10p - 99
• 9p - 2
• 8p - 5
• 7p - 6
• 6p - 73
• 5p - 2
• 4p - 27
• 3p - 114
• 1p - 3

 

 

 

[tocqueville8]

Yamato, Kitakaze, Ibuki, Yugumo

Gearing, Baltimore, Vermont, Iowa

Nevsky

Bismarck

conqueror

Mogador, République

Oland
Venezia

Gouden Leeuw

 

That's 16. Aaaaand I voted 15 by mistake (forgot the Baltimore) 

[NewHorizons_1]

3 of my commanders are now elite so two more than I had with the last poll.

I've also for a few 20point ones not far off elite as well.

One of them, my Bismarck commander, was my first 19pt elite before the reeeework.

He originally came with a rental Graf Spee shortly after I started WoWs a couple of years ago.... only 130k to go.

 

Edit: Took the time to trawl through my commanders, just for curiosity. Here's the distribution of ranks

 

• 21:  3
• 20:  3
• 19:  1
• 18:  3
• 17:  5
• 16:  3
• 15:  2
• 14:  2
• 13:  3
• 12:  3
• 11:  8
• 10:  14
• 9  :  2
• 8  :  6
• 7  :  6
• 6  :  27
• 5  :  3
• 4  :  0
• 3  :  4

 

Interesting that everyone still has spikes at 6pt & 10pt.

Anyone would think that ECXP is in short supply or something.

 

[Faceoff]

3 lvl 20 in 6 years ive been playing on and off. and one lvl 21.

 

Now you can buy a lvl 6 captain for 900000 silver, before that took a long time to get from non premium and none flag.

 

But i did some error during the captain revoke, sold off some * ones and deleted some others, terrible mistake at my part.

 

Bought Gunter yesterday, he should atleast come with 15pts. or even 17 for that price. Taking him on a journey on pommern now, he will live on GK once its a special ship.

That must be tedious to tally up.

It would be nice if WoWs had a "Personnel Roster" so that you could have an overview of all your commanders.

Kind of like Inventory, but for commanders.

You could sort/filter on nationality, rank, specialization, ship assignment or in reserve etc.

It would also be able to provide an overview of your (limited) reserve as well - functionality that got lost with the rework.

[ollonborre]

Got 9 for nations that I play the most, with another 3 20 pointers I think that are really close. And then more 19 and below pointers than I know what to do with. Honestly my 21 pointers see most action in CB or in ships I just play a lot (or in nations with lot's of special ships). For the rest 19 points often suffice, and if needed I got enough captain XP to get me about an 7-8 additional 21 pointers if the need arises.

[FatherTorque]

As i mostly play my freemium ships, i managed to get all my 5 special captains to level 21. Now i spend free captain xp points on secondary captains like dutch and french navies.

[bratisla_boy]

Got my first 19 point captain just before the commander rework. Given the stupid step increase, I didn't bother spend the few captain XP I had for that. Still keeping it to push my 6 points captain to 10 when I want to play a techtree ship in ffa. I won't certainly spend money for that 

[Andrewbassg]

12. I play ops.

[Gnirf]

When the rework was introduced I had 59 19 p , I have managed to bring 26 to 21, problem is that those below that are extremely far off so when I have raised the many of the 19s to 21 I am not sure how many that I will raise of those in newer lines where you start from 10 or so.

 

Have around 5 M Elite XP but it gains slowly as I try to get the newer lines T8 to at least 14. I have also used the credit method of producing elite XP.

See figure below yellow is 19 Green is 21. As you can guess many lines w lower captains than T10 on 21 have been reset a few times.

[Admiral_H_Nelson]

I managed to raise 6 of my 19-point captains to 21-points by grinding and use of Elite XP. I overwhelmingly play premiums (outside of lines that I am grinding)

 

One German captain to play Hindenburg + Premiums

One French captain to play Premiums

One Japanese Captain to play Zao + Premiums

One American captain to play premiums

One USSR captain to play Soviet premium cruisers

 

One Royal Navy captain just to complete the set, to watch all the others while sitting in port.

(The only RN ship in regular employment is the excellent Goliath with 17-point captain. He'll be the next one...in 2024 probably)
