Normal T7 BB does not come with permanent camo, increased rewards, and the ability to host any RN commander without re-specializing. We're not going to make it unobtainable, but 250k is too cheap. Anyways, we (and you) will know soon enough. My personal expectations are around 350k +/- 50 k, because this is all free XP I have, huh, gotta go grab some cookies and talk with eco team. That is also true for Iowa/Missouri, yet she features additional Gimmick AND earns T9 prem money and is only 40-50k above her value in gold... Just sayin...there are a bunch of awsome T7 Prems out there...if she sails in 300k+ ranges ill use it to skip, Izumo for sure lol.

How is that too cheap? If you compare those 250k cost with Missouri's 750k its equal slight uppriced compared to same tier ship of same class and same nation. I think (as many others here im sure) that 250k is more then fair price. If you set price to 300, or even 400k, dont expect from players to buy her. Like some people said, even 250k is a challenge to get for a normal players who dont spend doubloons. And speaking from my own perspective, Missouri is out for how long? Over 1 year? And im still far away from it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You do know 250.000 freepex requires 10.000 golds (okay, 7200 golds when there are reduction in XP conversion), and that's the price for a Saipan or any other tier 7 premium (DD excluded) ? Don't get too carried away with the price please, it doesn't justify being more expensive than any other tier 7. Actually, 350k freepex would be equivalent to 50€ of gold (14500 golds), and even an Alabama is cheaper than that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anymore than that I prefer to use on my first T10 too. Missouri only 45K more than her regular sister Iowa, got 2 sets of prem camo(that double the normal exp), prem status,radar,better armoured. Nelson in the other hand, worse sigma,worse 16-incher in her class. 350K? lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A T9 normal BB fully researched costs around 780K XP (Iowa), and Mo is around that cost. A T7 normal BB fully researched costs around 250K XP (Colorado), and Nelson SHOULD BE around that cost.

There are no price rules for free XP ships, we're most likely setting a precedent for future releases.

The point of free XP is that it can be earned without doubloon conversion, especially with some signals and smart planning. It is reality, as we see players earnings.

[UTW] ShinGetsu Weekend Tester, In AlfaTesters 8,985 posts 7,359 battles Report post #5533 Posted August 4, 2017 If you set it too high, you would have even less sales than if you set it as a "normal" premium tier 7 tho. 300k is reasonable, more is too much. Actually, even at 300k I'm sure as hell I won't buy it without a reduction in free XP conversion and a huge farm with my Harekaze. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[NED] piet11111 Players 2,225 posts 8,827 battles Report post #5534 Posted August 4, 2017 Around 350K considering you can earn the xp for free as Sub Octavian said does sound fair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im prety sure when I say this (for those 300k) is the opinion of many players - Tnx, but i'll pass. I wouldn't mind if that ship is really good for that tier so is worth that amount of free EXP, but I highly doubt it is. Yea, that EXP can be earned, BUT, it requires a lot of time, patience, and ofc flags (if you have over 100 of them), but not many players have that. No matter if he is first T7 premium for free EXP, the point is you want to overprice him too much, which you didn't do with Missouri. How come? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
