So we have 3 missions. Sink so many BB's, hit with so many torps and set so many ships on fire, whats the problem?

 

Well it would appear that WOW has learn't nothing from WOT.

 

I have to tell the game I'm playing a mission, I can only play one at a time as well.

 

So if I take out a DD and sink a BB, set 2 ships on fire and hit with 10 torps none of this will count unless I've told the game I'm playing the mission and only 1 of that lot would count anyway because I can only do 1 mission at a time because of the ship restrictions.

 

Another good idea made pointlessly complicated and badly implemented. GG WG.

I have no problem with ship restrictions... they are not great but I can live with it.

 

But what really is moronic is that KS BB mission.

 

Now I have to wait until my teammates nearly kill a BB in order to shoot a salvo at her to take those last 3k HP. They should fire that guy who thought this would not be retarded.

So how come I completed a 'sniper' mission (15 hits with torps) AND also had 2 aircraft shot down credited to another 'sky in flames' mission in THE SAME GAME recently? I have never specifically selected a mission, yet i've completed loads of them, pre and post patch.

it's not like the rewards for these were actually anything to write home about... so why not just play the game as normal and complete the mission naturally instead of using it as an excuse for killstealing (which, in a battleship, is just plain a stupid thing to do)?

What? No I'm sure that's not true. I've completed 16/20 ships on fire and didn't even realise or say I was playing the mission :)

Its not like Wg needs a defending hand but id like to correct your statement there first because is blatantly false and second because if we complain in the right way maybe well get more attention.

If you bother to read the mission description carefully you will notice that 1 you have to sink 2 BBs piloting another BB  2 tier 4 or higher

If you satisfy these conditions youll advance in your mission, end of story.

Played a ship and got fires and it didn't count, however I have played again and it did count, so that part of my statement is wrong, however I'll stick with the ship restrictions being a pain

OK :) I didn't read the restrictions and got all excited over St. Louis fires. Then I read the tier IV or higher :)

 

my only problem is what to do with the reward - hydro acoustic search. Meh :D

Well that's also an issue "How can we encourage all the cruiser players to play really badly for the next few days?" "Hang on, I've got an idea"

Yeah, why aren't DDs allowed to burn ships?

Sure USN DDs have some chances for torping without pure banzai charges, but Soviet DDs don't have such luxury with torps as purely short range secondary weapons.

Missions is a great idea it makes you play all kinds of ships not just your favorites but what i dont like is the rewards you get from finnishing them you still have to pay with credits or doubloons to use them like before so in that regard i will not focus on them.But for those who are using them like before need to focus more on these missions and still pay,so to me it doesnt feel like a reward at all.

Um I don't understand? If you get 10x superior heals you don't pay for them to use them if you "won" them via mission.

Yes, those I mentioned by name were BUT, I've just finished a game where I had NOT selected any missions, however, when I finished, it said I had apparently completed 10% of a new 'proper' mission (yes, the new ones, where you have to do a certain amount of burning damage and you win 10x hydrostatic thingys as a reward, expiry date 16th Nov) that I didnt even know was available!

 

So anyway, the point is, you DONT have to select one, well, not from where i'm sitting u dont anyway.

I am not liking it, now I have to take into account headless brainless mouthbreathing 'players' not even playing for 'fun' but also ignoring game objectives because of their 'mission'.

 

Which explains all the ffin CA's which keep HE-ing BB's despite DD's being spotted 5km closer. Which pisses me off!

well I think you really missed the half of the point

 

I assume t4 DD?

 

to push firing mission you need t4+ cruiser doing so (aka put ships on fire as a CRUISER of t4 or higher)

score 20 orpedo hits as a DD of tier 5 or higher

kill those BB's as BB tier 4 or higher

 

is that so hard to understand?

[i'm after today playing in like 3/4 of torpedo quest - would have already finished if not for a fact that it requires t5 DD and at some Int i switched to t4 DD to help a freind with leveling his IJN carrier line]

But you can set fire to dds as well! Oh the stupidity of people! Done my fire mission. Didn't even play for it. All the mission did was keep me firing as often as possible. Which actually made me better and get confederate and high caliber in the last game, 4 kills and carried the game. Missions make me a little more aggressive which makes me a better player as I'm naturally conservative. Sadly other people exist.

Don't mind the missions, but wish they changed the kill one to DMG done, make more sense and would make more sense for a team based game

I finished that mission doing 3 games with Cleveland :teethhappy: I admit I was playing for it, burning as many different sheeps as I could. Gladly, wool burns quite well ( unless it's wet ).

mouthbreathers, again... ffin mouthbreathers... 

 

If you're in a FFIN CA and a DD pops up, you shoot the FFIN DD, and not the FFIN BB. GET IT THROUGH YOUR FFIN SKULL.
