Battlepass

[PaP_Mentoles]

Another another disguising grab money tactic from WeeGreedy. Nobody claims that a company shouldn't gain profits, but this is pure greed.

I got two thumbs up from @Dark_Meta_ Did I turn into a WG shill? What is going on?

So this is basically premium time reinvented?

Next BP will be without me. Not enough time to complete all the levels - at least for my liking.

 

Feel free to question my dedication to this game but I don't want to feel under pressure what games I should play so I can still reach enough rewards and/or the top rewards to make a BP worth the investment. Most other games battlepasses also allow you to earn back a large amount of the price you paid or even the whole. So it's a waste of dubloons for me personally

Wh- why would anyone expect you to have dedication to this game or question that dedication?

 

If anything, you're breaking a habit. Good for you.

Post stage 50 rewards seem nice tho.....

For me it's simple, my favorite division buddy works overtime in December, so we won't play that often.

I might also give Schröder a pass, as it is just a worse Aegir at this point.

Plus, Darktide will be fully out, and I'm already having too much fun playing it.

 

There's just no incentive to play a lot this year during Christmas season.

You make it sound like work. I play because I have fun playing and if I don't I (usually - don't ask) stop. Same with stupid regrinds for RB points or collecting bears asses, playing supershits, T7 ranked and whatnot - I just don't if it's not fun.

 

Now to something completely different - is the new call of duty any good?

[quickr]

Final reward is here. Tier 9, 13km gun range? No matter, guns go brrrrrrrr

 

 

 

For the next BP final reward, can we get better teammates?

Usual nerve overstimulation but the campaign is okay, which should be expected for a 300 million USD budget.

 

Multiplayer is toxic garbage with kids in VC, so basically WoWs randoms.

Finished yesterday. Did not try out the new T7 yet. Main gain was in the form of an unexpected drop from the 5 regular Black Friday container that droppped Kaga B.  And will get me 2500D back. Which paid for the Battle pass in a sort of way. 
 

In total; gained a T7 and a copy T8 and some extra resources. But had to discipline ( and even force) myself to play all days to get the 6 phases. In hindsight, with 1,5 (?) week left I could easily have taken some days as a break. As long as you get the weekly chain completed.
 

And as for both premiums. What is their true value. A copy of a ship I never played much plus another T7 that ( if I compare with Dido/Atlanta/Flint/ PA regular cruiser) will also hardly play. Not complaining about the 2500d cashback. It is a nice surprise. And the extra goodies helps to battle my silver shortage. Still have to buy 3 T10 CV and 2 T10 subs ( all fxp’ed) for next Xmas snowflakes.

She's pretty good for a co-op main like myself.

360° turrets and the TRB were a nice surprise.

It is not bad in operations, but also nothing you can't do in some other ship. Fast loading torps are quite nice. I like it.

I am a bit disappointed with slow reload speed of main battery guns with such low caliber though...

Played 3 random battles in it so far, and as a Myoko/S.Dragon fanboi I must say I kinda like the Tokachi! Best match so far, with normal bonus cards, top tier. Clawed back a loss for victory fighting 3 cruisers in the end battle killing them all and the sub.

Yes I have found that the light cruisers in general are excellent coop/mission ships the PA cruiser line f.e.. I played one random game in the T9 PA by mistake, had such a fine game so I know I will destroy the stats by playing more....

 

Now with the IJN I probably mix, doing a slow grind as this is just fantasy ships with limited appeal.

Premium battlepass is great if you are tinkering with different builds. No charge for demounting upgrades and 50% off retraining or reseting commander skills.

You must be tinkering A LOT if thats appealing to you for 3750 Dubloons.

This is just a side bonus. Think all the other stuff I got for it are well worth it, and yes I do have a tendency to move commanders and train them for other ships. I could use free commander XP to do it but I value my time more.

If I have already passed stage 50, will i get the Tokachi if I pay for the battlepass now? May be useful to remove it from the Santa containers drops.

yes you get it and the previous rewards.

Personally I'm most in disagreement with the "Win matches and earn..." requirement and the mechanic that the completion of the dailies rewards much more than just doing a few of them. I guess we all know these frustrating evenings where match after match you face loss after loss as the hours just pass by wasted.

 

Without this mechanic/requirement the battle pass would be much more attractive to me but contrary to the former system where I couldn't care less if I complete the dailies or not the battlepass adds some extra pressure to actually complete the dailies or risk not completing the BP. Combined with the fact that you are expected to pay for the BP it's a weird decision to increase the pressure on players.

 

Of course it's in WGs interest that people play more.. but pushing the button a bit too hard usually result in negative effects like people feeling a game starts to begin feeling like work.

 

I guess we can all agree that weekly missions are much more attractive as they are much more humane. But with roughly 40 days to complete the BP the weeklies aren't enough to complete the BP - even if you complete all of them.
