my best hope they will not force to run 40 kills on 8 tier

i just dont have that tier also as no hope to have one after a week

Why not buy premium time using diamonds considering your match results will count for week 4 and 5 as well?

 

Using premium you will only have to earn 2334 base XP once to complete all remaining XP missions (3000/3250/3500), earning you 120 diamonds.

 

Already did that for the 24hr and 72hr. Afaik my current top base XP is 2300 (thus 3450 with premium). I'll see how it works out for next week and if they really go for 3500 XP and I haven't cleared it, I may go for the 1 week premium with diamonds.

Not really looking forward to much more from the treasures apart from the port slot and possibly the Tachibana (which I may just sell for another cheap portslot) and I'm holding on to the remaining diamonds to see if the secret requires some to unlock, otherwise I'll just dump the rest on the remaining premium ships.

Yep, new missions done as soon as they appeared

 

Means I can just focus on the missions still.  I assume next week will be tier 8 battles and 40 CA games?  I'm definitely a long way off the CA games as I have been trying to focus on getting the 100 DD/BB kills done first (CV done ages ago) but I can maybe give them some loving.  And tier 8 is always a good tier for progressing the missions.

hm couldnt play yesterday and today - so there is that 100 k mission gone for me already. I finished the last weeks one on the very last day, so no way without p2w.

 

 

Kinda curious if they really will raise the XP bar for the single XP mission even higher tomorrow. Anyway, my salt dispensers are ready - just in case.

 

Blimey Havaduck wiill you stop this pay2win comments. Its pay2reward there is a big difference. so you have to work harder to get 100K  XP if you dont have Prem and? I almost always have Prem know but that only started when  ships came out! when I just played Tanks I almost always Played non prem and almost all the events for free tanks were easer if you had Prem as they were almost always XP related. I never had an issue with this as the rewards for players supporting the game with money should be greater than those who dont.

 

And any way even if they do make it easer for prem players to gain the rewards. Whats wrong with that as its Prem players that give the money to wargaming that makes the company keep the game alive. The end (surprise goal) is not effected buy this Prem account at all. All Prem players get is the ability to get diamands to buy stuff for the game. and Maybe the 900 stone flag and the bragging rights that some think may go with it.

 

To be honest I think it would be a good idea if something like diamands was in game permanently with prem players getting a small quota per day of prem. said diamands being able to be used to buy Ships/Flags/Camo. I think there would not be a problem that if a prem player has 1 year of prem he maybe gets enough Diamonds for that year to buy a low tier Prem ship. And this may well encourage more people to play with Prem accounts so good for wargaming

[Xerkics]

Still need to finish tier 7 and DD missions.

[worlok]

If you focused on permanent missions for kills, you should aleady have all classes played sufficient enough for all missions to come.

get 100 kills in a CA and that will almost defiantly mean you have played the Requisite cruiser games.Unless you are some sort of Unicum that averages over 2.5 ship kills a a game..

 

Myself I have all the ship kills missions appart from BB and on that i have 44kills

 

Tier 7 kills i need 11.. Well Blys/Colarado and Nagato so should not be a problem by next Wednesday

I still need 41 more kills with a DD and 81 with cruisers. Very easy to achieve on my way to 300 battles for which I need 133 more matches to play.

 

The 10 kills I have to do with my Nagato in between... they hurt my plans for the other two classes but not that much.

 

It's the 40 kills with a tier VIII (and possibly 50 with tier IX) that worry me. I haven't touched my Fubuki, as my sole tier 8 ship, in almost 6 weeks and we had a patch that could change the way I have to play it. I do not have any tier IX ships and don't plan on ever owning one, so if that becomes a criteria for a mission I'll be unable to complete it. Well... not the only mission that remains incomplete probably.

I see your problem!! You must have a life outside work and Ships.....  for kills play tier 2-5 DD/CA. for XP missions play high tier.  Also low tier games tend not to last as long so helps you get to 300 games

 

I did not think the patch had a detrimental Effect on Fubuki at all! just gave some new options for torps.

[Damanta]

Hmm, 11 more kills using a T7.

I guess I'll be rebuying the Colorado or maybe even getting a premium T7 beside the Sims. Sims is bad at killstealing =[

 

Also need to play more T8's then, to make sure I have a good lead for the 40 kills in a T8 next week.

Currently 54 BB, 56 DD and...7 CA.  I am unsure if I have time to do all 3x100 kill missions so I have focussed on DD/BB because I am better at those.  If I now focus on CA kills I'll end up about half way on each rather than finished on some.  There is still plenty of time though I guess...

[AndyHill]

We just crossed the five million mark in total progress as many people got their weekly set of pre-earned diamonds. With the weeklies getting more difficult I would guesstimate that at this pace we'll never uncover the secret (which is probably a free premium Yamato for everyone) as long as that progress bar actually tracks the real progress. To get two million extra from the big missions by the end of the event would require 10000 people reaching both the 300 and 500 mission goals, which sounds like a lot to me.

You are correct. Real life is keeping me from investing more time into the game.

 

I am already playing low tier matches in the Tachibana and Umikaze for the DDs. If one is locked up in a battle where I am already sunk I'll use the other. I plan on doing something similar for the cruisers. I'm not worried about those kills, I'm sure I'll achieve them and the 300 battles this way.

 

The Fubuki is in so far a problem, as I have to get used to the new options. My old style of how I played it might have gotten a boost, but at the same time it has become more dangerous. Getting used to this will cost time, and there was this little real life issue...

We are 2 weeks in to a 5 week mission. Still looks ok to me. As many players still need to complete 100 kill mission but should manage in the next 3 weeks and Hardcore players have still to reach 300 and 500 games. We need to keep playing but no need ot panic quite yet

well im pretty sure they either extend it by a week or  reduce target .... just imagine the shitstorm.... they wont do that

Getting used to this will cost time, and there was this little real life issue...   I have my Fubuki configured as a gun boat with AFT and hit point bonus on a 16 point commander. I like the setup with great torps to boot (I use 10km ones)

Small correction. It is actually the Musashi, not the Yamato.

Personally don't think they should! its not like kamakazee where we get nothing (or not much) if we dont get to goal. We still get the Diamonds that we can get stuff with. I expect to make at least 800  stones so will have Smith and Katori in my port so even if we dont make it I have still gained 2 Prem ships. specia  Camo and a Bragging flag

 

We will just have to make sure we work harder next time. After all why bother trying if we know Wargaming will just extend it if they see we are not going to acheave the goal. where is the challenge in that

 

[RapscallionDK]

Only need to do 7 kills on T7 this week, i am loving the fact they let the Weekly missions run in the background for us "casuals"

 

Blyskawica are you ready my dear?

[XbodzioXplX]

Kamikaze R project ended sooner then 4 weeks as I remember. So I believe we will finish this event too.

With Blyskaica you will not even need to leave port to get those with 1 week to do them..

[Aotearas]

Maybe the final hurdle is called a secret because WG did the math and already knew we couldn't meet the target?

 

In which case I'd say: well played you cheeky bastards *raises glass*

Agreed. No matter what happens, all participants should have gained at least something if they played more then a handfull of matches (btw this was also true for the kamikaze R project, just for joining late I already got silver and a day of premium time). And with some of the bigger diamond rewards still open for a lot of players and two more sets of weekly missions in the future, I'm sure we'll at least get close to the final goal.

I think it all depends on whether the target is achievable or not.  They will have analysed player numbers, take up of the project r and other factors to come up with a target but it is stil la target set before they know how things will actually play out.  If we miss the target by 2 million you could reasonably argue that we had no chance of completing it and that would be most... upsetting.

I collected over 1k diamonds but still waiting for Grand Naval Battles Camouflage x50 & x100 : (

Hmmmm thought there was only 880 available to date?
