[IFS] TheSoulCollector Players 21 posts 16,545 battles Report post #1 Posted August 16, 2015 So I am stuck at having 3 daily mission which need 3 - 4 torp hits in one battle. And I thought I could remove them or at least it would replace old ones every 24h as it does in Heartstone.Otherwise, the progress isn't going anywhere when I primarily plays BB and now also painfully grinding Phoenix and FUKUCRAPY which rarely gets in range for trops.Played some games with jap T2 DD with minimal sucess of getting torp hit since everyone dodges the torps and if I get closer bye-bye HP when everybody is shooting HE. Suck it up until I get lucky or recommend me a reasonably obtainable ship/tier so I can be done with these missions? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valkyrie_7 Beta Tester 131 posts 1,903 battles Report post #2 Posted August 16, 2015 Get any low tier DD, even tier 2, you will probably land on that map with lots of islands in the middle. Run to one of them (a bigger one) and wait for enemy ship (they should all be spotted) to try and go past said island. Islands more the the edges (top and bottom) of the map work best, since you got one flank covered by default. Then pump said ship's side with torps at minimum range. If you survive, try to repeat. Check your exact torpedo range before battle to know when you can fire so that they hit. The closer the enemy is, the better your chances of hitting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This daily system is total fail No it's not the system fault. You get a new mission each 24 hours, if you play DD's regulary you will neveer have 3 torp mission at the same time. If you haven't completed any missions within 72 hours, then it's entirely possible to have 3 torpedo mission at the same time. The solution is simple, play more destroyer matches.

jimonwye Players 57 posts 3,992 battles Report post #5 Posted August 16, 2015 OP, The torp missions roll on, you don't need to get all hits in one battle, and are pretty easy to get with so many clueless BB's wandering about solo. I whole heartily recommend the JIN DD's for the job, there's been several 500 xp bonus of late for torping, shame to lose out, when only need low tier DD.

Deathmaw Players 70 posts Report post #6 Posted August 16, 2015 The point is you shouldn't have to a play a class of ships you don't want to. There needs to be an option to at least clear the slot of a torp mission and resetting the timer on it so you can get something else. I dislike destroyers and find them boring to play. I currently have two Sniper missions where I need to get 4 torpedo hits in one game for each. This is impossible in a BB and hard in a cruiser unless I go out of my way to try and torp. All it needs is a system to cancel a mission and to have the system treat it as completed but give no reward. I've had my 3 torp dailies for nearly a week now and they are going to stay there effectively locking out that feature of the game. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimonwye Players 57 posts 3,992 battles Report post #8 Posted August 16, 2015 Maybe an "Activate Mission" option would be better, then un-activated missions could be replaced automatically after a set time. By not being able to clear unsuitable missions players are losing out between 20 and 50k or 500xp a day, I've had no problems myself, but I can see how annoying it must be for those who have. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[CMP] Hummus Weekend Tester 605 posts 5,346 battles Report post #9 Posted August 16, 2015 Get a Sampson (tier 2 US DD) for those missions. I did and I actually loved that little boat. The torps are 4.5 km range, so you'll need to use islands and smoke, but the ridiculously low reload time means you can throw a LOT of them around My record is 14 torps hits in a single game so far.

sisito0o Players 271 posts 3,399 battles Report post #10 Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) I am in the same situation, since i play only BB i can't complete torpedoes missions so i simply don't do missions and i was thinking some weeks ago to complain why missions don't change, but then there is a good reason for that (i don't know if it's on purpose or by chance) but this way it stimulates more people to play other classes than BBs which are too many even now Edited August 16, 2015 by sisito0o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you could replace torpedo missions for example, these players will never learn how to play in a destroyer.

Except plenty of people might already know how to play a Destroyer but don't want to due to them not finding them fun. I play a game to have fun not as a chore. If they want to lock people out of their daily mission system then so be it, but it isn't going to make people play a class they don't want to and nor should it. I know how to use a Destroyer, I'm up to tier 5 but I sold them as I find them mind numbingly boring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless they ofc faceroll those missions in CV... Lol difficulty of playing a DD? Maybe US certainly not IJN DDs. All it does is make the mission system unused and pointless for some players. Which is bad game design. You wan't people to use as many features as possible. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[CMP] Hummus Weekend Tester 605 posts 5,346 battles Report post #18 Posted August 16, 2015 The torp missions are pretty easy to complete though. It takes me 1-3 tries in a tier 2 destroyer to get them. The "clear the sky's" mission (destroy 8 planes in a single battle) stayed in my que until I had my Cleveland ..... Which ofc killed 23 planes in it's 2nd battle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No I see your point clearly it just doesn't have any merit. The people who whine about things being OP will continue to whine about them being OP after they have used them. Have you never played an online game before? Delusional people aren't going to be persuaded by facts. Tops aren't the problem with DDs the stealth is, but thats another debate. Frankly I want torps to be more powerful but harder to use. Either way it doesn't change my point that this wont force someone who doesn't want to play DDs to play them. It just forces them to ignore the daily mission feature of the game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[2NDPZ] FakeMessiah27 Beta Tester 43 posts 989 battles Report post #21 Posted August 16, 2015 I've had a similar problem, but with the ''shoot down x number of planes'' missions. I don't play BB's at all and only stick to DD's and eventually started playing cruisers as well. I had three missions to shoot down aircraft that carried over from the CBT, and I didn't complete any of them until I had the Omaha. Especially in the beginning I focussed entirely on DD's and therefore had no chance of completing my daily missions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

An even better DD would be the T2 Umikaze - 8km range on the torpedoes with a +-20 sec reload, however they are quite slow, but it shouldn't be a problem, at this tier there are very inexperienced players that can't dodge.
