Dear Wargaming please stop with the kills missions

[Vanhal]

As in topic.

Don't get me wrong, i'm all happy that we finally do have some nice missions.

But the kills requirement is simply wrong and unfun. Especially the specific class kill requirements.

[txtspeak]

yeah, trying to get kongou with my minekaze. seriously? I am encountering clevelands and I am supposed to defeat THEM in jap DDs.

I'm assuming that's said sarcastically as I killed 13 CAs in my minekaze in the first day.

 

To OP, I am just going to carry on playing as best as I can in my Minekaze/Fujin. Although I will complete the first mission there is no way I can do the second one unless I play a CV with fighter loadout and concentrate on killing aircraft (and not winning the game). Haven't played CVs so wouldn't inflict myself on any team lol.

People will just have to be patient whilst others are trying to achieve their missions. Especially as I've had a few occassions where having torped a CA and started to fire guns (as he was hunting me) I had someone else rob the kill. Yes love for your fellow man will be needed in the next couple of months.

For me it's actually not that but the Tier restrictions.

 

Shoot down 100 planes in Tier 5-7: Yeah good luck with that if you only have DDs in that Tierspread 

[txtspeak]

Im not very good at DD and clevelands [edited] you to death the instand you're spotted (and because I'm not very good at DD I get spotted a lot by other DDs

[Niaro]

Yes change it to damage done next time please..

Already seeing people suicide rush and teamkill just to maybe sink one of the required things.

Damage [edited] is just as easy and annoying as kill [edited] 

[Babykim]

I need advice on what to stealkill with at tiers 7+ for the last stage of the Happy New Year's Mission. Ideas?

Well yes but chances are that you wont see ppl suicide for a last hit or torp you because you came to close to "their" target..

[LilJumpa]

I just considered burning some free XP to get the Bogue to finish those 100 Plane kills.

 

[waxx25]

@OK. How about no? 

 

[Deckeru_Maiku]

Well, at least the ARP missions are relatively easy to do (if one has a nice assortement of different classes of ships in his harbour) compared to the New Year mission... four kills and ending up among the top 3 scores in one game can take a while... at least then the only ships I have available for that right now are Sims, Mahan and Hiryu... and that for measely 500k credits...

Don't we all?

Blyskawica or Kiev. Excellent fire rate which really helps getting the last hit in and they are good against CAs + DDs, which you need for the ARP missions.

Well, you also need 150 plane kills for the Kongo mission, so the Bogue may not be a bad investment.

Its not like WG doesn't try to monetize from event by "suggesting" players they should have every type of a ship in most tiers...

[LilJumpa]

And why shouldn't they? You still have the choice to do the missions and if they where too easy to achieve I bet there would be threads whining about that too.

 

If you thought I was dead serious with my posts, think again 

[SkollUlfr]

id just like to know where im supposed to get the time of day to reach t7 in 2 days when iv have only just hit t5, which was enough to start doing the HNY missions.

 

this doesnt come across to me as encouragement to either pay or play to get a wide veriety of ships, just a sign that the devs in wows are fine with bait and switch.

since the side effect of having a wide veriety of ships is that grinding tiers takes longer proportional to the number of ships, which is counter productive.

[Vanhal]

DD KS'ing reached absolute horrendous leghts now. No point in even continuing till the crap is done by most people.

DD kill stealing! I torpedoed a CA then engaged with him in my Minekaze when he was hunting me. My health was going south asked for help, nothing, wittled him down to 700ish and another CA killed him.

 

 

My message: 'I guess your doing the 30 CA mission?'' His reply: 'Yep! '. (With txt smiley face).

 

 

Guess you get those kind of captains in every ship.

[Vanhal]

Yup, difference is i got those 30 cruisers without paying even slight attention.

 

And i haven't killed any DD for like 15 battles now, despite them always being in battle and purposefully hunting them. Reason is always the same: KS.

Those mission should say "sunk 30 ships" or maybe at least "sunk 30 ships playing DD". But specific hunt for one class is not fun at all and too much depending on both team and enemy.

[Prollydrunk]

I charged into the passage on two brothers today because I knew there were two DDs. I had backup from a Tirpitz and a Cleveland.

DDs come in side so I start shooting and dodging torps. I realize the Tirpitz and the Cleveland doing exactly nothing.

When the first DDs had about 10% they started firing and the lucky Tirpitz got the kill. AGAIN.

 

I gave up and changed my playstyle.

When the last DD on the enemy team gets killed I leave to port.

When I can choose between capping and winning or chasing that DD... I choose to drag 11 people into the loss.

When I started earlier on the most eastern position and realized the enemy DDs are in the west... I left the CV to die.

When I see people havin a hard time I wait for the DD to lose more hp. If there is no DD I do not care.

 

Thank you Wargaming. I cared about my team until before this [edited]mission came in. Now I really do not care anymore. Having no fun while playing is a minor sideeffect...

[anonym_XGuN6pHmfiJ9]

That's why everybody wanted me dead. Every ship (even the CV) was gunning for me. He parked his fighters on top of me and his bombers. Maybe next time do it in combination with shooting down  airplanes. I would win like crazy that way. 

 

[Deckeru_Maiku]

It helps extremely to not concentrate on playing only one type/nation of ships...

All the guys playing only BBs will find hunting DDs and planes quite problematic - so what? You won't grow sick from playing a CV to T6 and do the airplane mission with it. And hunting DDs is easier in a DD or Cruiser. Also not so much of a problem to get one of those to T6

 

And remember: as a BB/CV only captain you don't give others the chance to complete their missions by sinking you. So it's only fair that it isn't easy for you

[Admiral_H_Nelson]

....You won't grow sick from playing a CV to T6 and do the airplane mission with it. 

 

I'm afraid I would. It would do my head in. (seriously) 

 

Some people enjoy playing CVs. Great.

I'm glad that they have fun in the game playing the ships that they like, in the same way that I have fun playing the ships that I want. We are both happy. It's a WIN-WIN situation.

 

I have no interest in playing CVs and am relaxed about taking the consequences. If that means not being able to complete a mission - then so be it. It's my choice and I can't complain about it.
