Economy [edited] up again?

[Aurelios_zer0]

Can someone pls explain why is the economy broken for the last few days? is it the new patch or?

T9 and t10 games are impossible to play.. a very good game in my Zao today( as seen on the SS) , 160k dmg and only 156k credits earned and -113k total repair bill? for real?

Hi all,

 

Ouch...

 

Please note that we have 25% reduction in Repair Bill since 3 days ago...

P.S.

I just started with my brand new "North Carolina" and she is bleeding Credits (30.000 - 50.000 each game - but with 2 "Premium Consumables" = "Premium repair" + "Premium Heal" because fighting Tier X without those is futile).

[Vanhal]

Maybe rewards for damage were nerfed again? XP for capping is enormous, but if you don't cap, even tons of damage are rewarded very poorly.

[General_Kunde]

WG giveth (-25% repair costs),

WG taketh silently (-20% income)!

 

Seriously:

No idea, but looks strange.

[ColonelPete]

Most of your victims are lower tier.

T10 is a joke, the repair cost are killing the game at that level. i rarely play that level anymore

[LilJumpa]

1763 Base XP is not really that much, because you did most of your damage to BBs (percentage of ships HP counts), had no Decap points etc.

 

just took a screenshot of today because I wanted to see the reduced repaircosts:

 

Just have that one screenshot of that game.

I did 110k damage , so a lot less, but shot at Cruisers and DDs a lot 

approx. same income and XP, difference I didn't die but had 25k HP left:

Edit. You don't even bother to take the -repaircost Signal with you, go figure

That is good news, thank you

[Aurelios_zer0]

had a 100k game in a t6 budyonny and had over 200k credits from that game, so something is really fucked up ..

[Ferry_25]

Hm. Guess I'll keep my Yamato and Montana in port for a while. I really don't know what to do in order to make it a bit profitable. As I see the screens of OP I'm at a loss. A victory, decent damage (even considering "easy" targets) and still a huge loss?? Even with premium he would have had no profit. My point is I'm not afraid to have something at stake or making a loss if I screw up ingame. But being sure that no matter what I'll do, it's going to have a negative outcome and the only way to keep that in check is to sit back, camp and let the reds cap out is not my idea of a fun game.

What ship, what tier...bit pointless

F2P player loses money at tier 10 shocker.

 

p.s. also read what LilJumpa said about targets damaged.

you are a F2P player aswell, so shut up..

EVEN with premium that would be +50% credits, adn that would still make me at a loss of -70k credits in repairs

[von_chom]

but the difference is that one is crying and the other one not....

[ColonelPete]

So what?

Better luck next time. Go for DDs, they give more money.

[Egoleter]

I see no problem with the OPs screenshots. Numbers seem to add up to what I would expect.

[Aurelios_zer0]

but the difference is that one is crying and the other one not....

 

look at my profile and see how many games i played in my Zao(with and without premium), this low amount of credits is like playing a t4-t5 game and not at a t10 victory with this much dmg.. 

[ilhilh]

1) No I'm not.

1.1) It wouldn't matter if I was as I wouldn't whine about losing credits at tier 10 if I was a F2P player.

2) I won't shut up (work on your manners).

3) Your maths sucks.  I did 0 maths and can tell you that 70k loss is wrong.  I just looked at your screenshot and you would have lost 35k with premium.

​I'm a noob and no where near the top tiers yet.

But isn't what you are saying WG's strategy anyway? They don't want everyone playing at the top tiers all the time. Eventually the game would just get top heavy, and there would be no experienced players at the lower levels to show us noobs how much we still have to learn.

By 'fixing' the economy, you can only take out your top tier ships every few battles, because you have to fund them from the profits you make at lower tiers.

I know that sounds unfair, after all you've worked hard to get to T9-10 and when you get there you cant afford to take them out all the time.

Not trying to take sides, just saying.

1. Losing credits at T10 is a very big thing, since getting a t10 is the goal of getting that one ship you love and wanna play with, only to get it and realise that you need to make 200k dmg per game to not LOSE too much credits..

2. If you don't have any useful information about the topic and you are here just to flame and make fun of  people who got no premium time, don't comment anything.

3. math wise, the loss would be 38K, which brings me to the point of this topic. If you lose so much credits per game, even with premium and so much dmg at a t10 match, why would you even wanna play it? Why bother spending a lot of time and effort to grind your way to a t10 only to leave it at port?

[LilJumpa]

So this is actually a pure whine thread then. The answer was already given by some people but you don't want to hear it I guess.

basically what you told us is that 10k damage on a BB gives you less money then 10k dmg on a DD..

If that would be true, why would anyone bother to shoot  CA or BB?

[LilJumpa]

This is WGs business  and game model ito:

- earn money

- keep all tiers populated

 

And yes it is true that your base XP is low in that game, while you had a reasonable amount of damage, because:

 

- shooting lots of BBs

- shooting BBs that were lower tier

- no cap/decap

It is true. The percentage of damage you have done to a ship is what matters. You get the same XP for a TX DD kill as you'll get for a TX BB one.

 

Having high tier players come down to the nether regions to earn the money for the high tiers, as well as to keep the lower tiers alive and well played, is not bad game design.
