AlwaysBadLuckWithTeams Weekend Tester 1,469 posts 37,910 battles Report post #1 Posted March 9, 2016 First of all, could we have a neutral discussion please and refrain from comments like l2p, aim better, dump your family and play more ?! Thank you. I know some here can afford to play quite a lot each day, who will probably laugh about this thread. And I also realize I don't have to to the missions. Yet there they are. 4 missions with 4 different ship classes and 25 kills each, a total of 100 ships in one week. My personal current schedule is pretty much daily doubles with the ships I am grinding, which can take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours, and that's pretty much my daily allowance. This enabled me to do the previous weeklies in 5-6 days. In the ARP mission with 100 kills, I am currently at 84, although it requires tier 7+. So 100 kills with tier 4+ in one week wouldn't be a problem. But the weeklies want you to drive a certain ship and killing a certain class with it. Which I am not so sure about will be achievable in time for everyone. Apart from taking the fun out for many by reducing the overall goal, maybe you could make those missions multi stage in the future, i.e. 5 stages with 5 kills for 2 items each. So am I the only being a bit "worried" about this week's goal ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[SPUDS] Unintentional_submarine [SPUDS] Beta Tester 4,052 posts 8,765 battles Report post #2 Posted March 9, 2016 I wouldn't say I'm worried as such, but yes, I do find the requirements to be quite a bit beyond what is reasonable for the time allotted and the rewards given. Basically, I'm not going to worry about doing any of them, as they aren't worth that effort. I might get one or two of them, but that will be purely down to coincidence. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This /\ Have now stopped being concerned with trying to complete missions, if in regular playing I attain a mission prize then that will be a nice little bonus, nothing else. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phroco Beta Tester 78 posts 5,771 battles Report post #4 Posted March 9, 2016 The missions are only one stage but the rewards are pretty rubbish. I think they are ones where if you happen to do them in the week then it's a nice bonus but otherwise ignore them. For me at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[T-N-T] Toivia Players 4,019 posts 23,935 battles Report post #5 Posted March 9, 2016 Same as for Unintentional_submarine. I probably won't try to complete either of them. If I'm lucky, I still might. But I definitely won't aim for it, that'd throw all the fun of the game out the window, along with my sanity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robihr Players 3,168 posts 9,352 battles Report post #6 Posted March 9, 2016 well it really isnt too much... it would be too much if they were mission in stages.. this way i can play normally, grind all ships and still do mission... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good thing rewards aren't much. Just how are USN DDs and Soviet DDs players expected to sink BBs when they're best at anti-DD? And they're unfairly excluding DDs from hunting cruisers. Why should cruiser showing its side to be excluded from DD's "kill list"? Just killed one foolish Nürnberg with 20+ k of AP damage (seven citadel hits) from smoke when it sailed straight and slow with side so nicely visible.

[S0F] xeransa Beta Tester 169 posts 11,719 battles Report post #8 Posted March 9, 2016 I took one look at the weeklies and thought 'no way forget it' and now have them on ignore it's just too frustrating chasing specific kills in this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Domin1c Players 232 posts 13,295 battles Report post #9 Posted March 10, 2016 The rewards are absolute crap. I'll just carry on with my game as normal, if I get one or two, fine, if not: Who cares? Underwhelming, but I don't mind it as we have the ARP Missions to do (still need that 16 point captain!). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[ENUF] Ze_Reckless [ENUF] Players 2,532 posts 23,427 battles Report post #10 Posted March 10, 2016 Too small rewards for the effort, But on the plus side, this week cruisers will at least try to shoot at DDs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gr0pah Players 1,168 posts 9,822 battles Report post #11 Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) I looked at them and laughed. Captain Extraction have a 2 month timer (I know you also have to do 10M damage afterwards, but the point stands), and the first stage is 100 kills. The current weeklies also have a 100 kills requirement if you want them all, and of those 25 has to be a DD, BB, CA respectively. Oh, and you must kill them in a specific type ship too. It's beyond silly. Edited March 10, 2016 by gr0pah 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LilJumpa Beta Tester 4,603 posts 7,488 battles Report post #13 Posted March 10, 2016 To be fair. These are the first missions where the effort/reward ratio is really bad because the rewards are next to nothing. 225000 Credits worth - you can actually get that in one good game and it doesn't even have to be a prem-ship. Don't worry about it. I certainly don't The Boot-Camp Missions before that where really good and worth doing them, since they didn't require a certain ship/class and the reward was better.

They are a throwback to the first missions we got. They were equally silly. 5 flags etc. But those were at least somewhat more reasonable to manage in a week.

[FIFO] ilhilh [FIFO] Beta Tester 2,451 posts 7,514 battles Report post #16 Posted March 10, 2016 The CV one is easy to do (providing you have a CV) as they are not class specific but I expect that will be the only one I complete.

[DUDS] Crooq_Lionfang Beta Tester 1,999 posts 6,434 battles Report post #18 Posted March 10, 2016 Some of those missions are probably doable, if you play a certain class pretty much exclusively. I like to play all classes (except CVs), so for me they aren't doable. But for those rewards I don't have the feeling I miss out on anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So am I the only being a bit "worried" about this week's goal ? As others have also said, the rewards are rather crap, so I could not personally care less about completing them. TBH the only missions I "cared" about completing was the Project R and that was extremely easy with very little time invested (if one started from the first week). I just play ships/tiers I feel like playing. If in the process I get some additional small rewards then nice, if not it does not matter to me at all, as I do not have a feeling of loosing out anything important in case I do not complete the missions.

[TEAM_] Dampfboot Players 1,367 posts 11,386 battles Report post #23 Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) Especially the last weekly was quite nice, thanks for that. This week it is totally **** though. The CV one is ok but the rest. So much effort and such meager rewards. Not sure what they thought when creating these. Please, we need less "kill" and more damage, assist, hits, whatever missions. Do 100k Fire damage, 50k flood damage (insert appropriate amount) and get Arsonist, Liquidator flags? Edited March 10, 2016 by Dampfboot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlwaysBadLuckWithTeams Weekend Tester 1,469 posts 37,910 battles Report post #25 Posted March 12, 2016 I won't fret if I don't get them. As I said, thus far, I did them on the fly, without caring much. This week however, it is work. The CV one is easy to do (providing you have a CV) as they are not class specific but I expect that will be the only one I complete. I'm not making any real effort to complete them but if it looks like I'm close next week I might change my mind I find this pretty symbolic. Rock, paper, scissors, nuke. Every class is the counter to another one. Except carriers, they can kill them all easily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
