lolwut? How does one even use this system? it's completely incoherent

[SodaBubbles]

Here is what I see in my armory: a load of bonuses that are unrelated to previous bonuses I knew and understood. 

 

Ok, never mind that issue. There does not appear to be any way to apply them to a ship. When I open up my waifu Azuma, I see this:

What does that even mean? Do I have to pay? What if I want to use some other bonus? Opening up Yug, a tech tree ship, I get this: 

What does this even mean? How do I select bonuses from the armory?

Is there a guide somewhere? 

Also, is the 4% dispersion bonus dead? 

 

Hahahahaha. Every ship is completely different. Yug its 350% FXP bonus with 142 available. Incomparable, 150% with no sign of what that means.

Also tis the same as normal. But these cards take the place of flags and camoflage bonuses. You can buy new eco cards with the hoodini currency. And you can run out of eco cards.

 

 

 

yes

Thanks for the email reminder.

 

This is ridiculous. So instead of 100 bonuses at 100% FXP, I have two shots at 7300%. But if some griefer in a CV sinks me or I eat five citadels from a Krem at maximum range and am devstruck, I lose the 7300% instead of the tiny 100% which is no big deal. There's no way to break that back into 70 100% bonuses?

 

So wait... the Incomparable bonuses are a permanent package? Thats what the yellow box on the left hand side seems to say.

[Panocek]

Bonus coming from permanent camo, be it on tech tree or premium should be on that "golden" tab on the left.

 

And IIRC WG stated somewhere you could split bonuses somewhere?

Just click on one of the 4 bonus types and you will see the other available "levels" of bonuses, there are 4 for each currency type. 7200% is the highest for Free XP, but there are lower ones if you don't like the risk.

Ah, now I see. Thanks. Was afraid to click, had no idea what I'd do.

 Jesus but that's stupid. Wouldn't it have been better to have the list displayed instead of a single bonus?

You can use this guide from NA (I re-posted it before):

Well yea if you get clapped, thats 7000% down the drain. Same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was.

 

 

 These permanent yea.

Sheesh, after playing Pommern in coop, I see I wasted a bunch of bonuses. This is what they are counting on, of course. 

If they are in brown like this, they are mounted. If they are outlined in dashed lines, then they are not mounted. 

*sigh*

Aye, if you're going through a bunch of ships quickly, lower-level bonuses look very similar to no bonuses mounted.

 

On my NA account, I went through everything and clicked the demount all option; partly, it's to audit what I've really got later, and partly to avoid using them accidentally. Trouble is, I have far more ships on EU, so I'm not sure if I can be bothered doing the same thing there.

 

Apart from a few niggles like that (and no pretty dresses for T5s), the basic layout for the new system seems okay. As has been said elsewhere though, the crucial thing will probably be availability of new higher level bonuses; besides that, by changing everything, it'll be harder to compare before and after when assessing things like value on loot crates etc. (presumably, very deliberately).

I am demounting everything now.

Agreed, actually. It makes more sense now.

Wait... You are saying there are things mounted on every frikkin ship? On all x hundred? WTF is this BS? Is this a joke?

This won't be necessary anymore, the new system already shows the total amount of bonuses you have, including those equipped in ships. Same for combat signals and camos.

Not every one. But I was surprised to find that many of my ships that I hadn't played in ages had bonuses mounted on them.

I haven't checked this myself yet, but aren't they just equivalent bonuses to the signals you had equipped on those ships?

You probably still had flags and signals on them - which were converted into these bonuses.

div with a CV player who is willing to bottom tier himself hard, otherwise yes, the red CV may "choose you" as the ship who goes back to port early while you have the 7300% bonus active.

[Tordenskjold23]

You can split a bonus in the inventory

[KillStealBoss]

It was discussed before, many times, Flamu and others went to PTS to showcase it, PTS was available 3 times during 3 weekends. Yet people are still "surprised".

Yes This has to be said much more often.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit still the selection process it seems to be a one way ticket......

[JohnMac79]

An option to demount all flags on all ships would have been nice...

To be honest I'm waiting for the changes to hit the live server before looking at them and trying to work out what they do.  Given WG's past record I'd expect a last minute 'balance' change or after a week or two of absolute chaos.

I think that is/was available but it may be part of a mod that I'm using.
