umikaze -> same as above

langley -> just play normaly

Oh i thought you had the missions restricted to tier 4 and higher. The only destroyer i got is sims and i gave up trying to finish kill mission with CVs because it was so boring.

As did I... oh well, good to know if I need to crunch some specific missions in the end.

poor younstars there :/ sealclubbing only :/

[Xerkics]

I think i might actually buy a tier 2 dd and hemelin because i almost finished BB mission by playing normally anyway.

[Gojuadorai]

well the motivation was  to do a large part of the 500 grind at the start.

main argument was the time games take 10 minutes at most.

 

now all i have to do is play normaly rest of the month to get 3x 100k xp and some of the weeklys that dont auto complete

 

[edit]

btw the patch did not add the flag 

so i guess we need to wait till end of the event....

[karsun]

Do the diamonds assigned (erm.. collected) almost automatically during week 2. are added to the main pool, too?

 Yes. They are added.

 

can you comment if our (and by "our" I mean mine as well as some others as obviously not everybody shares my opinion) feedback about that aggravatingly unfair p2w XP mission has reached home?

(as well as play 500 games ........ afk or using bots basically, if most team you get and run into are a measurement)

 

It could potentially be seen as unfair. That's true. But for the purpose of this event, we let you collect diamonds, to buy premium time for diamonds and even up your game on that field. You can buy a total of 11 days of premium time in this event for 50+100+150 diamonds, which is, even if you bought all 11 days less than 1/3 of the total you can earn. And that's not taking into account all the activities held by the community team in which you can earn more.

 

And regarding AFKers / botters and cheaters.

 

The first group (afkers / non-actives) is being punished regularly (first round of bans went out last month). We do not brag about, we don't make huge news articles about it, but it's in the works. And we'll continue doing this.

 

The second group, people using aimbots and other cheats... I can just promise you we're devoting our time and resources into developing a solution. However, as said already before in various places - we cannot disclose anything before we actually execute the sanctions on said cheaters. And those will be harsh. If we reveled any information to you guys right now, we'd give a head's up what to look out for to the developers of said cheats, thus sorry, that's all the information we can disclose at the moment. 

 

And now - go get those diamonds!

then you should reconsider it, imho its purelly WG EU call, since in RU they are naming and shaming w/o remorse exactly as it should be

You can lose nothing, but gain a lot, think about it please

Hey guys!

 

Just wanted to let you know, that we've credited the winners of the 1st week of contributor activities with their diamonds. There were 108 winners altogether and we gave out 14,600 diamonds. If you want to participate in next week's CC activities, head over to the contest section of the forums! Remember, these prizes are on top of the maximum achievable amount of diamonds in the Grand Naval Battles

[Crooq_Lionfang]

Karsun, I can understand you not publishing lists of players, that got banned. What I don't understand however, is that you don't publish a statistic like:

In timeframe from x-y we punished:

XXX players with permanent bans

YYY players with temporary bans

ZZZ players with chat bans

 

Or alternatively: we punished 

xxx players for botting

yyy players for usage of unfair client modifications

zzz players for toxic and/or unsportsmanlike behavior in chat

 

or something like that. Something that shows the players that something is happening instead of letting us guess and rely on information like yours just now in this thread, which seems very rare to see

My team won against the dream team twice and we were told by MrConway that we would get 100 diamonds for EACH win, yet I've only received 100. So I'm wondering, will I get the rest of the diamonds or were we told wrong?

Pardon me, but advice means spending 50+100+150 diamonds to access 2*40+2*20 diamonds (100k XP and the "more than X in one match" missions) for possibly two consecutive weeks...

[El_Pollo_Locooo]

You should, so that we will know that something is being done.

Which is a horrible deal. You spend up to 300 diamonds to earn not even half that much again? That is not a compensation in any way. You could just as well reduce the number of achievable diamonds directly for the non-premium players.

 

I will go for the 7 days premium time, but not to achieve the horrible "gain X amount of XP" battles, but to better train my captains and to gain a few more silver for future ships purchases.

WG should publish monthly perm and longtime ban list that say who gets banned and for what. There is no naming and shaming in this, as i imagine that rule was to prevent false accusations and slander, but official bans aren't that.

One could compare it to a football league were all players listed with their respective yellow and red cards. But at least some information on how many players and for what reasons would be a sign towards the community that something is done.

I can't see you being told wrong, MrConway explicitly promised you/us more diamonds for every win:

Hey Ph3lan, I'm 100 diamonds short. Could you please look into it mate?

 

I won against AAA, and also won a contest:

Week #1 (May 4th - 10th)  **Highest Damage Done**

Ships

• Tier IV American Battleship Wyoming - gr0pah

A life dream is real now... 100 doubloons from WG.

Thanks WG for your generosity!

The Information that something is happening at all, is way more than we had before. I can empathize and understand (esp. the part on non disclosure before hammer-fall) , but you also have take the user view into account:

 

- For now we only had the information that identified aim-mod users are actually not punished in anyway (It was in a RU translation from Carno, if my recollection doesnt fail me).

 

- I personally ran into a Teamkiller (no naming here) multiple times - and every time he TKed me or someone on our team. That guy had/has  (minus) - 150 "destroyed by other means" -> to much for "just" accidents. Reporting apparently didnt do anything as I looked that guy up periodically but he was still playing ... and TKing if I met him.

 

 

I understand that you recently  (and finally!) tackled the TKer problem with harsher repercussion, but you have to imagine the view you are creating on the boting/afking: With the above two paragraphs in mind, why would one think you would punish/ban someone if the aim-mod-users and TKers just walk free? Escpecially when game after game is filled with their presence? Thats a devastating picture ...

 

 

In the end I think it would really serve you and us as community well if we get some sort of information on this matter (and ofc others^^) more regularly. Even a simple table with the body count for sanctioned/banned accounts would be on the order of infinity magnitude better, simply as of yet we have zero.

 

 

If you would rather not communicate anything concerning aim-mod-ussage, fine, just leave it out and me it like this:

 

"We banned in the time frame of the last month 500 accounts and sanctioned a further 800 for violation of the Eula such as: excessive AFKing/boting, team killing, misbehaviour in chat, as well as other reasons."

 

 

Communication on EU is key, and it has gotten better, I acknowledge that! I mean, look at this event: We have actual Red-Shirt presence and feedback in the thread and everything just works out better as well as a nicer atmosphere! 

 

 

 

about that mission: thx for the official statement on that matter.

As I see it: I play just for fun and relax. And just for playing the game I get free diamods to get myself some premium time, that I can activate any time I want. For first week Premium 24h was given for competion of mission, and with that getting 2500 xp is very easy. Next 24h one can activate just before 2750 xp mission expires, and complete both that and next (I presume 3000 xp?) mission without much difficulty, right?

 

No one said anywhere we need to complete every mission anyway. It is supposed to be a challenge, right? And as it happens in every challenge, some people finish it and some don't. But in this case even if someone won't complete every mission, still gets a lot of free stuff (for which I'm very happy and can only thank WG for it, as well as entertainment they supply (all those ranting in chat players are so much fun!).

 

So I seriously don't see how it may appear unfair...

 

Just my 2 (Euro)cents.

Hi gr0pah!

 

I've looked into this and it seems we made an error in your case, sorry about that! You should have the additional 100 diamonds now. 

[Bitnisse]

You might feel that MM and even RNG works against you in battle. This might make you think you have a bad day...relax there is always someone with less luck that you.

 

 

Feel free to laugh - i did.

you know you will never achieve 1xp so suffer xD

About those 2500+ missions.

 

In tuesday i manage to get some 8 kill battle in Nicholas. 3606 xp with premium. That would be enough even if they gone insane and made the XP mission increment +250 each week.

But base without premium was 2404xp. Not enough even for first mission. The difference is THIS BIG.
