Is there anyone farming Halloween Camos?

Rather late to the party here but it finally occurred to me this might be a good idea.

 

However, this is rather soul destroying. The level of incompetence & insanity this mode seems to encourage makes your normal weekend randoms look like a MENSA convention. All but one game today has seen team kills & in a new low for the human race there was a border hugging BB in the last match.

 

There is no hope for humanity, we are doomed, doomed, I tell you!

I have seen this a couple of times as well   I am pretty sure it happens when the player noticed 3 new ships in his dock, picked a BB and joined the battle and being totally confused when he saw what was going on in the first 30 seconds, then went to the usual place on the map.

Strange that....virtually every battle I play not in a DD, it's the stupid DD's that sit in the circle straight from the start and leaving the BB's behind with the Igors struggling to get into the back of the circle. This causes the first catapults to aim at the DD's and the trans, while being out of range of the BB's. Then maybe a DD gets smashed by a fireball and abuses the BB's for camping . It's bloody hilarious. No wonder farming camo is the way to go. 

 

True stupidity is not limited to just the cruisers pilots. DDs can boost and shoot to draw the fire if they dont Transylvanian will take 10k+ damage or simply stay out of the circle until the BBs gets in range, but guess that require some thinking on there part. BBs can be stupid to i noticed some ignore the catapults because damage done to the catapult dosnt count.

 

Every now and then you get a team that actually works together mostly it seems like its players new to the gamemode and just follows the objective. But most battles have atleast 1 or 2 of the flag farmers that ruins it. Got 124 flags now playing the objective, mostly in BB.

I have been inadvertently farming them just trying for a win. There have been a few (a lot of) frustrating 'close but no cigar' games until winning some.

Although I have enjoyed this mode probably more than most that WG have done so far. Love the steam punk ships. Pity they're not staying.

[fodder89]

No. It is not worth it.

I think 2 camo farmers in a game are enough for a win.

I usually finish 150-200K damage with the CL and get all 3 camos + 200k credits. And it's a nice bonus if we win and get the 500 free xp.

 

Technically, St. Louis, as a protected cruiser, is a C or CA, not CL. The problem of multiple Igors is that they eat each others damage since the slots for fires on the Zikasas are limited. The credit farming is much needed now, since they made Takao need T9 ships to get, which puts a pressure on me to "upgrade" my precious Fubuki into a Kagero.

I collected about 30 camo and 10 left now. They are useful to unlock ships fast, I like them being free.

AFAIK It's still a CL due to low caliber guns.

Real farmers like pink.. alot..

 

Impressive

[Ebu34]

IMine so far...

 

I have been pink 7 times so far.

 

[T3ddyBear]

This mode is head banging....

 

It's been out almost a week and players have absolutely no clue.

 

Basically, every game we are 3-4 ships down before Rasputin spawns, it's then a simple damage farm for the 3 camo's and 200k credits.

 

It does show just how poor the player base is.

 

Maybe a simple "trials" mode, you have to do certain things before you get into random battles at all, basically, if you cannot complete what is a simple escort mission then no randoms for you matey.

 

Last game 250k damage 7 kills and still it was just me and an Igor at the end, the BB's had either yolo's or stayed to fight ships behind us and the DD's got nuked by catapalts as no one was firing at them.

 

A real head banging game mode...

 

Harrier.

I have gathered maybe 20 or 30 from a fun few hours the other night with a division of players marvelling at the inability of the average player to be able to follow basic instructions.

 

The lowest ships I have that I am grinding though are Fiji and Bismarck and I am really enjoying playing them so dont always feel I should be rushing through them with 100% XP camo's. Although it is nice on a decent game in them to get such a chunk of XP.

[PonyOnSteroids]

No. It is not worth it.

 

​Wow just wow, and I thought I was doing well with my 120'ish camo collection. I think I met you yesterday in game, didn't believe you were pink back then, but the name rings a bell. 

[svadilfari]

those camos are great. unfortunately i cant bring myself to play this tedious mode at all
