I can't argue with that.  I didn't realise it was so much the difference between possible and impossible.  It is hard for me to see as I have auto completed week 1 and 2 (running premium) so I don't actually know what the max EXP I have earned in the week is.  Does look rather p2earn (diamonds).

 

Yes right now the XP is messed up It have got like 2220 for on kill but two single caps then I get 5 kill with 70K damage and get like 1500 now does that work out?

If you remember my example a few pages back you'll see that if you focus on what actually awards XP, you can get monster scores very easily.

 

Sorry for being a scrub and not knowing, but what actually gives xp in which manner? Cap over kills over damage or something?

My apologies for not trying to find it myself, but you seem to know your stuff and I would know where to start to dig that info up.

Any information that these flags give a bonus like the alpha tester flag or something?

 

This is actually the only information I'm waiting for...

I'm guessing the flags will have some benefits. The lesser flag likely only one, say 5% captain XP, while the greater flag will have at least two. Considering the commemorative flag NA got recently, I would be rather surprised if our flags are just flat out worth nothing extra. After all, they don't exactly look very cool. Yeah sure, the greater flag does have some nice things on it, but it's coloration is pretty bland. Compare it to the Hawaii or Kure flags, which were easily obtained, why would I pick these flags?

 

Arguably the reverse argument also applies. If they grant a bonus or two, why would I ever use the other flags? Because these were greater investments of time and effort? And the Jolly Rogers are obviously more about capability (though the fact that some people managed to get one with a less than 50% WR does speak against that).

I'm not sure if you know it, but base XP gains aren't linear. The more you gain in a battle, the higher the requirements become for the following XP. 2000 base XP is reasonably common, but the jump to 2500 is quite high bu comparison. This is what makes the premium advantage so infuriating, as it isn't really a 50% advantange, it an ever increasing benefit the higher the base XP requirements become.

Take note of the total gained base XP in games where the winning team is reasonably even, and where there was one or two guys doing everything. 

 

Let me put it this way. 2000 base XP is a reasonably good game. 3000 base XP is a hard carry, and a game where your team likely would have lost without you. Hard carries require that the player in question be good and lucky for himself, but he also needs the enemy to be good enough to be better than his own team, but not so good that they stomp all over them. This is to me at least, an unfair requirement of said player to get.

I did not know it but my point was that its not like i carried in that game i just did my job as a BB. Nobody forces you to buy Premium for the event i already had a month of it running  The purpose of premium time is to give you more xp and cash in general its not a premium ship that gives you a clear advantage in battle and its cheap as chips if anything its nice of wargaming to let premium affect it too , makes doing mission easier for players who support the game. IF you choose not to pay its your choice noone said freetoplay was going to be easy. Also we had 3 days of premium after patch and just now a quest finished that gave everyone who done it free to play or not 24 hours to do this mission.

Damn, now I'm so sad I couldn't play more when I had the 1 day premium. My best xp (including premium) was 2717, so just short of this week's mission.

I am now waiting for those 2750+ screens (1 per day will do) since they are done very easily, as that Fletcher game demonstrates ;)

 

 

Here is one for today.

€: You know what, no p2w premium ships just for fun, too. :trollface:
 

 

disqualified. :P

 

So I can expect 2 such games tomorrow to make up for today? :trollface: ;)

This does count, for today. (and this week, pray that they dont raise the bar to 3k next week or you have to carry harder. :trollface: )

 

 

So guys, where are the other screens? A lot of good players here, 7 days into the event already ..... and only one player to "carry" you? :P

Why is the 2750 XP mission completed already? I haven't played a game so far

 

Even stranger for me - started playing today before 12:00 GMT/CET or whenever the weekly mission update was supposed to happen. Did maybe five battles or so.. when I checked a bit after the mission update was done, ALL week two missions were complete. And I got the Diamonds for it - Tachibana in my harbour now :playing:

Edit: just saw the explanation given a couple pages before - so it's all kosher

Why should I make a screenshot from something happening so often (even when playing only T5/T6 ships)?

 

A good T5 battle with 5 kills, around 100k damage and a capped cap or two (or defending caps) should get you the 2.75k exp needed :P

Well 4 lone caps + 1 devastating strike got me a little more then 3k Xp in Premium. That is certainly not very common.  (Sadly last week I was 48 Xp short)

Pray they don't alter the deal any further. ;)

 

On completely unrelated notes: Did any famous streamer already cover the event box ships ?
