Take her! Torpedo spam is fun ;)

 

I would love to, but I have to keep my fingers crossed that I either win one of the kits or they put her on sale.

Regarding the missions for week 2 - don't worry, it is actually working as intended. However we'll take all the feedback into consideration for the next edition of the event in the future (if we will hold another one that is, can't confirm or deny anything). We'll also include such things in the future main announcements (if events requiring such announcements will take place). 

 

The 100.000 XP mission is RESET your progress , that's why it's a separate category (reset occurs every Monday). This means it's a really hard mission, which requires a ottal of 400.000 XP earned in 4 batches across 4 weeks. You cannot earn, let's say 200.000 in week 1 and score two completions of the mission.

 

The "week 1", "week 2" and so on missions feed off of one database of player progress. This was put in place to reward players who would spend a lot of time playing in 1 or 2 weeks and then if there is a week they don't take part in. Some variables change (tier, type of ship), but if someone was active on other fields than just the one mentioned in the weekly mission - then they get some additional points the following week. Generally, it feels to be a more comfortable solution, doesn't it?

 

We hope that this mechanic will be appreciated, especially by more casual players, and we'll be gathering your feedback on it. We'll compare tihs to previous project's mechanic of only missions that reset and we'll see what we'll do in the future based on that

 

And don't worry, nobody will get any diamonds taken away, especially if they got spent already. This would not be cool on our side.  

Then why is the 100k mission reset? If one player can do 400k xp in one week, why can`t said player do it, if EVERY OTHER mission follows this pattern anyway? 

 

What solution is this that the right hand steals what the left hand gives? How can you achieve this goal when you have to do the 100k anyway, ergo being forced to do weeks 3 and 4 regardless?

[Bammbuss]

my bset hope that devs will not give diamonds to afk players

seeng already familiar nicks, battle after battle all they do is just staying on green base 

probably usual tactic - battle-port-battle-repeat

This is only true if the only purpose of the event is to get 1000 diamonds.

Having different missions cater to different types of players makes a lot of sense since that enables almost anyone to get at least something out of the event.

The reason why you don't have every single mission count from the start of the event is the same reason why we have daily missions, to incentivize playing regularly.

Good News Everyone !  I was having a Pint yesterday and a bloke in the pub noticed me reading the forums on my ipad and he let me in on a secret! He told me that according to his mothers partner's ex boyfriend who works for Wargaming  that the 12 million diamonds super secret prize is the early release of Royal Navy! Who could have thunk! Dont tell anyone im sharing this secret like among friends dont wanna raise anyones expectations prematurely.

I understand what you`re saying, but he is telling us something else in his explanation. It is inferred that players can "grind harder" to finish earlier, which is supported by all missions except one, or he is ambiguous on purpose.

 

So, it is either:

 

1. Missions can be insta-finished so people can push hard, or;

2. Missions insta-finished are irrelevant, as you HAVE to grind 100k weekly anyway.

 

One excludes the other and his explanations are mutually exclusive (by having a mission that brings mandatory play in weeks 3 and 4). I am asking which one is which and if he is not being ambiguous, to change the 100k xp mission in cummulative, to bring it in line with the other weeklies.

I don't believe you.

No one would willingly talk to someone who is using an Apple product.

Except that's not even close to what he wrote.

He says that players who grind a lot at the start will be rewarded by this system, which they are. In no way can this be interpreted as him saying that all you have to do is grind a lot at the start to complete everything.

 

If the 100k XP missions was the bottle neck for full completion, then you might have a point. But I seriously doubt that you'll finish every other mission while just doing the weekly 100k XP missions.

The bottleneck will be the presumed 3250 xp in week 4, I think. To me, that is what he said, otherwise it makes no sense the "can not  take part in week 3 and 4" - at the very least he is being ambiguous. Oh well...we will agree to disagree, as I strongly believe he is saying what I think he is saying. Shouldn`t have different rules for the same batch of missions in the same competition.

[Sadzior]

Anyone have an idea how many diamonds will we be able to get in total?

1000 plus those from the community contributor contests

[Sake78]

Has anyone else not received the diamond reward for the weekly recurring mission?

 

Didnt get them either and already did at least one mission and logged at least some xp on the new one.

Thanx!

So no albany for me... im going for smith... or... maybe got albany and purchase essex model kit to get smith.. decisions decisions....

[Gojuadorai]

..... and purchase essex model kit to get smith

 

you got something wrong there....

[Sub_Eleven]

Siting on 380 diamonds now and I hope I can get 800 for the Grand Naval Battles Camouflage x50. The type 3 experience camo you get from 200 diamonds really helped alot so I'm hoping the GNB ones are awesome as well. Not sure if I can make it though, since I'll be skipping the battleship and carrier related stuff.

[__Themistocles__]

What if I just jump in tier 1 ships, rush in, die and repeat? Will that be bannable (since I will definitely not AFK) or not?

[NoirLotus]

Yeah do that please !!

 

You ruined enough of my games when you AFK with your Zuiho ...

[WestyII]

Absolutely not, I have a limited time window in play the game, (2-3 hours twice a week), and I am back at T1-4. You can easily get a couple of kills, have a blast, and be done in 2-8 minutes. GNB has made me go back to low tiers, it's the only way I can get close to the 300 battles without being AFK.

[__Themistocles__]

 

Yeah do that please !!

You must've mistaken me for somebody else, I don't afk in my games.

[NoirLotus]

I perfectly remember your nickname : you were in Zuiho on New Dawn, I was in Hosho, you launched 1 wave of planes on the 1st BB spotted, did almost no damage and then didn't do anything else until the end of the game ...

[Fred3n]
