12-16 November: Night Battles off Guadalcanal - in-game missions, etc disappointing

[Sanjuro_UK]

I loaded up World of Warships this morning given that today marks the first special on the calendar that should introduce the new in-game missions.

 

I found three, one for battleships, destroyers and cruisers, which each gives 10 premium in-game consumables. Which isn't bad. Not exciting, but not bad. However, there are still no events or challenges. Furthermore, it's clear that missions are only coming through when there's an event on the calendar that shows "battle missions".

 

This is really disappointing. I had hoped for more from Wargaming. Although I don't expect lots of stuff happening at the same time, it seems weird to introduce this new "fun" element if it's not working most of the time. Can we please get some confirmation as to when this system is going to be expanded? The hype from Wargaming for patch 5.1 was that there'd be lots of cool stuff to do. What was the point of bringing in missions, events and challenges if it was largely just a placeholder?

Screenshots pls?

[Sanjuro_UK]

There you go.

[ShockPirat]

Haha, good luck everyone completing the battleship one given how many battleships sail around these days

 

[OVanBruce]

I'm more concerned about those poor BB captains since they are gonna get focused much more.

[Johnny_Phate]

There you go.

 

Thanks, especially for missions and challenges!

No challenges or events yet, which I think is rather crummy. It's not like it takes any programming time/money to do it. I know the challenges system has been implemented because the SEA server had one as part of their first special event. 

 

Plus I really think that we should have some missions available generally and not linked to a calendar. if we're to grow the community we need to keep the game fun and interesting. For the EU server at least the "peak" player numbers seems to stay stubbornly around the same figure.

[_VOXX_]

The rewards: 1. Repair party consumable II x10,  2. Smoke generator II x10 3. Hydroacoustic II x10... meh would rather get the silver ...

because pictures say more than words. Let's hope the reward for the three missions will be of a noticeable and adequate kind.

 

[Vanhal]

Well, we were so starved for any ingame event that even breadcrumbs would seem a feast. But there are only breadcrumbs afterall.

[Purple_Alert]

Finally some decent missions. Thumbs up for once.

[Admiral_noodle]

Well they are ok. I am going round setting fires to compete one mission and actually considering taking a destroyer out for another.

BB mission would be totally worth it if it was possible... 10 premium heals is really nice.

[Cronos]

i do understand that they cant give out free premium days and port slots every week...

 

....but the 'rewards' for the missions are so low, i personally dont care if i complete them or not. 

 

And i dont like the 'Kill [number] of [ship type]'  missions.

 

[IamTroublemaker]

I am not fully disappointed, but I'm not really happy either. I am happy about the premium repair party if nothing else.

 

Oh well, Pearl Harbor anniversary is around the corner, hopefully we will get something big (and SAME as the NA server)

Considering that there are barely any BBs in the games ( due to the AP thingy ), i'd say you're right. ^^

Specially taking into account that with this buggy damage model only true BB enthusiast would be playing then frequently and having each one of your matches being the a shell magnet, much more than usual at least,  won't be nice.

[Querulous]

More BB out tomorrow after patch maybe

#HOPE Miam miam come to my DDs that have been starving these past few days...

[JapLance]

Tonight  November 11th, 75 years ago, an event that changed the history of naval warfare happened.

 

Not even a comment in a game with carriers.

[Dai2]

Oh sh*t i just remembered that the battle for jutland will be at its 100th anniversary next year!

Lets hope WG does something nice, with good events and the traditional [insert premium ship name that has participated in jutland here] + 350000 signal flags bundle!

These rewards are a joke! At least you could sell them for silver... This is waaay too disappointing, especially for a cruiser - hydroacoustic?? It is completely useless as you can spot enemy dd from like 5-8km anyway depending on tier, and the hydroacoustic spotting range is ~3.5km? Wargaming is just trolling their players with these kind of rewards.

you can't spot it from any further than 2km if its sitting in smoke screen.... also hydroacoustic increases range of spotting torps that are having your name on it....

Taranto, I believe? 

Well I suppose as the Regia Marina and the Royal Navy aren't in game they thought they could skip it... -.-

If you're going to spot dd in a smoke screen from 2 or 3 km in a cruiser, you might better just press "exit to port" instead....

[Admiral_H_Nelson]

German hydroacoustic devices have a range of almost 5km, I believe.

Shame that you are almost obliged to take the AA option instead, because the AA is so weak compared to their rivals (until Hindenburg)
