I want the option to dismiss all the ARP Crap

This is the topping on the cake (read it as the fly on the [edited]).

It really isn't asking a lot I don't even want anything for it just let me delete the damn things! What I can't understand is the whole reserve spots why in the world would anyone buy any if they can be filled up with ARP Captains that you're not going to use!

Disable the Yokosuka port (as in - choose any other port).

Done.

Was that so hard?

The problem is, that some like this port and do not want to have these ships. The other problem is, that some of these ships are double from missions and you get these captains double. This means, that the double captains go to reserve and you have no choice, it blocks one reserve slot and if you need more you have to buy more slots because you can not delete these captains. This is clearly not intended and WG already confirmed that they are looking into it to find a solution.

Was that so hard to comprehend? ;)

afaik arp captn's don't occupy your slots, but kinda bring their own ;).... annoying, aye. but nothing that would require anymore than convenience action imo.

[Beaverous]

Actually the ARP captains do use your captain reserve. I have the original 4 slots + extra 4 which I bought. When I check the Yokosuka port, it shows the max amount correctly at 8 slots, but it's showing 6 in other ports. Right now I do have those two extra Hiei captains using up the reserve slots. So in other words those two Hiei captains use up my slots. Also I really don't understand why I'm forced to keep those extra captains, which are completely useless, and even problematic due to wasted space.

 

Also one of my friend actually lost one of his captains (12 points) due to those ARP captains. If you're not in Yokosuka port, they don't show up in your captain reserve in any way. If you don't realize your reserve is actually full by noticing the numbers, you risk disbanding your captain due to no room. When you get new ARP captains before their ships arrive, the captains automatically go to reserve and stay there even when you get the ship. So your reserve is swamped with those captains, and might end up selling a ship without having any room for it's captain. If you don't notice what's happening within the 5 min disband period, you can say bye bye to your captain. Support's response was "sucks to be you" not in those exact words though

You can keep them, I want the option to dismiss them. Problem? And yes, they use the reserve, but some people are to retarded to count.

[MrWastee]

hmm... got 5 captns on reserve (non-arp) and it shows 1/6 slots free. in yokosuka it shows 1 of 8 free slots, so it doesn't seem any of my slots are occupied ^^.same was shown before the 3rd hiei i got yesterday, been with one free slot since i got the caps from april-fools event. so, seems all fine with me regarding reserve slots.

[BlueMoon51]

This is what I don't get people that like ARP get all defensive, most people are not saying stop that whole line(although personally, I think they could spend their time more productively as a company). All we are asking is the option to not have ARP impact "normal gameplay" just let those of us who don't want to take part in it delete anything ARP related from our ports.  

As for them taking up spots last time I checked maybe June if I removed one from a ship it reduced my free spots within the "normal game" by one

Have you bought any extra captain slots? Because they come in packs of 4. Your maximum amount of reserve space is that 8 slots, but two ARP captains are taking slots 7 & 8, while the 1-6 are left for your normal captains. That's the reason why it's showing maximum of 6 slots in other ports, as the ARP captains use the other two.

[mtm78]

All this crying about nothing. If you 'like the port', tough luck you're stuck with the ships. If you don't select the port the ONLY thing which would 'bother' you are the ARP related missions in the darn mission overview, ow god jesus how could you possibly survive that?

 

edit: they should however not occupy reserve space if you select another port, that's kinda silly

[LeonardoBlue]

Honestly I don't get it why it is so frustrating to have these Captains... 

 

They don't cost more credits, you don't need to do anything for them. And they don't take space either. They are just there and having tea while waiting in case you need them. What is the point of dismissing them? Is that your sense of perfection or what is talking there? 

 

I'm personally a big fan of the Arpeggio Series and in my Opinion, even if it feels strange to have 3 Hiei Captains now (Guess there was enough nano-material) I really appreciate the collab and it is the main reason why I started the game at all. 

 

So please calm down about Captain thing, in the end you're just spending energy on it and it doesn't make your day brighter I guess. Just have your fun in the game.

check, gotta step back. seems i'm wrong on this and gotta agree. not nizzzze :/.....

 

(did send kirishima to reserve= 0/8 slots in yokosuka, switched port and got 0/5 slots shown ^^....)

sry, been damn sure i had 1 slot before yesterady alltime.

But they are taking reserve space. That's the point for me.

 

If you want to check it yourself, go to any non-Yokosuka port. Check your captains, and take note of how many free captain slots you have and the maximum number. Go to Yokosuka port and move one of your ARP captains to reserve. Then go back to non-Yokosuka port and check the free captain slots and max again. Did they drop by one? If yes, then ARP captains are taking up your reserve slots.

 

This will become a real problem in the future as WG seems to be giving out some of the same ARP ships that we've already been given. You don't get duplicate ships, but you'll get the captains. Just look at the Hiei-captains. In the end you don't have any captain reserve left because you can't dismiss those captains, and you don't have enough ships to put them. In the end the only solution is to buy more captain slots with doubloons.

Hi guys!

 

We are aware of the issue with the ARP captains and understand that it causes frustration to some of you. The developers are already working on a fix for this. We don't have an ETA on when it will come, but we will let you know as soon as we have more info. 

[BabyAdmiral]

...just let those of us who don't want to take part in it delete anything ARP related from our ports.  

 

Agreed. That has to be one of the easiest, most hassle-free implementation that could be done to a game.

 

Instead, we get these numerous and pointless threads where people are debating whether it's right or wrong to be bothered by having unwanted stuff in your port. I don't get why people are having so much issues with other people not wanting to have these "vanity items" in their game. isn't that a personal and subjective matter? I could understand it if we were asking for something that would draw resources from the development team and cost a lot of time and money to implement. But this? I just don't get it.

When the captains came with the ship (kongo) it wasn't a problem - the ship an captain appeared in a port you don't use, didnt prevent you doing anything, everything is fine.

 

The problem came when you started giving out the captains separately. In the last event I acquired 2 captains and 1 ship. So I can swap to the ARP port and dump one captain into the empty ship. But the other fills up my reserve.

 

I can't choose not to receive the captain, nor can I choose not to partake in the mission.

 

Therefore my only options are;

-continue like I am, and have my reserves fill up with captains I can't get rid of/put anywhere (annoying)

-buy more reserves to make enough space for the captains I don't want

-play more to get the ship I don't want and will never use so I have somewhere to put the captain I don't want or will ever use

-not play at all so that I don't unlock the captain

 

I'm perfectly happy for the ARP content to exist, and know many that enjoy it. I had it on for a while when it was new and novel, but have subsequently turned it off. The captains filling the reserves though is irritating.

We hear that since Day one of the second Hiei Captain

 

Do you really work on this or is it only some PR Speaking? I can even forward you to a PN which you guys sent me when the second ARP Hiei captain already arrive with 16 points... (around March) quite sad that you guys need several months to fix this

[BabyAdmiral]

They don't cost more credits, you don't need to do anything for them. And they don't take space either. They are just there and having tea while waiting in case you need them. What is the point of dismissing them? 

 

Honestly, I don't get why people are so hung up about other people's preferences that they have to go on the forums to say "hey, I feel different than you about the issue, you should change your stance".

 

If we get to choose whether we want anything ARP related in our game or not, everyone will be catered for.

1.) People who love Japanese schoolgirls and pink ships can play with them all they want.

2.) People who don't care for ARP, but have no issues with the stuff being hidden somewhere in their port (invisible outside the Yokosuka port) can play the game happily as they please - with or without superfluous ships and captains.

3.) People who don't care for ARP, and don't like having unused novelty items laying around in their games somewhere, can remove anything that is not related to their core gaming experience and play the game knowing that they have a clean and tidy game client.

 

For some people (me included), it's an integral part of life to be able to, and allowed to, remove superfluous stuff. I don't want it. Sure, the gum paper in my car's ashtray doesn't do any "harm" to me, but I still don't want it in there - it doesn't do anything useful either. I prefer it not being there. I don't see why some people would have issues with that?

but I just want to ditch the superfluous Hiei captains.. There's no use having 3 of them

It seems like they actually do..

Solution = Just let those of us that want to delete the item, that has to be a game mechanic because you can do it with anything else.

I think the issue is that some of the people that play and enjoy ARP think it's an attack on the right to play it and miss the point that there is some middle ground there are people that would like the ability to remove the stuff and don't care others want to spend their time there playing those ships.

[AnotherDuck]

Personally, I don't really have a problem with it. I like the ARP ships, and use them on occasion. It's a bit of a shame that they're covering captain reserve slots, but to me that's a minor issue. I just don't like having duplicates. I got one free reserve slot this mission, since I had all reserve slots filled, and the new Hiei captain came with her own slot. Previously I've gotten three extra slots with the second Hiei and the four 3-point captains we got a while back. But on the whole, I don't really need a lot of reserve slots, since I very rarely keep more captains than I have ships. On occasion I've sold a ship, and kept the captain for the eventual next ship in the line that I didn't buy immediately, but that's about it.

[Smeggo]

I like these missions and the rewards you get from some of them.

But I don't like these Anime-girls and ships and I would be happy if I could sell or remove them to free up my captain's reserve.
