Tako finally hitting the EU server

[eliastion]

Well, I'm sending a ticket. Maybe they'll notice something's not right (or that it's a f*cking joke) if they get flooded with tickets.

[1MajorKoenig]

Sorry Late to the party.

 

What's the deal about Takao? It is just this cartoon stuff, right?

 

And is it the same ship as Atago just free and with cartoonish camo? Or is she any better?

No extra xp etc, no camo bonus but apart from that same ship I think.

[HMS_Antelope]

Am I the only one who is glad the ship is limited to T9/10.  Can you imagine T6 level players in T8/9/10 for the first time, some who are very good will be ok but the rest! It would lead to very salty games/chat if the higher tiers were populated with very inexperienced players.

 

I don't care about the premium argument but there are enough players in higher tier that struggle without flooding it with more.

[Fino_93]

Missions:

Tier 8+ Deal 2mil dmg - Ashigara +6lvl captain

Tier 8+ Destroy 20IJN/RU/Ger/USN ships - Nachi + 6lvl captain

Tier 7+ Damage 100 modules - Haguro +6lvl captain

Tier 7+ 500hits with secondaries - Myoko +6lvl captain

Tier 6+ 25 wins - Haruna +6lvl captain

Tier 6+ 200 torpedo hits - Kirishima +6lvl captain

Tier 5+ 2000 main battery hits - Hiei +6lvl captain

Tier 5+ 1mil dmg - Kongo +6lvl captain

Tier 9+ win 50 battles - Takao + 10lvl captain

 

 

 

 

MissionS? So it's not a multiple stage mission? I can go directly to t9 and take the takao?

I'm not "happy" with this BS.

T6 is too low (althoug every other server had it that way).

But it's a T8 ship, so you should be able to get it with T8 ships.

Yes.

 

Also, you will be doing all the other missions at the same time, because you are using T9+

For me I'll be doing all the missions kinda simultanously except for the tier 6+ 200 torpedohits, as my t9+ don't have torpedoes.

Since you seem to have missed my point, I'll write it down for you again in a bigger font:

 

 

I just found out that NA just requires tier 6

 

 

So what's the problem with that?

WG EU wants more ppl in high tier ships ( cause you know, new camos coming for tier X, start opening your wallets allready ). Plus it's a tier VIII premium, the least you can do for it is get out of the seal clubbing modes and go play with the big ships? And, for those who don't have a tier IX yet: these missions should give you plenty of time to grind to one ( or alternatively: open your wallets and spend some money on doubloons for free xp ).

 

There is no way this could possibly go wrong, right :p ?

[krazypenguin]

I don't have any tier 9 or 10 ships and my only two regular tier 8s are both completely stock and unplayed - even if I grind for a tier 9, I don't think I will do it in time.

[eliastion]

 

They don't have opportunity to catch ships they've missed as well.

 

That's irrelevant (although, "fun" fact: one of the "missed" ships is one that couldn't have been won on EU in the first place - and now it's 20 kills of each nation, save the UK, with a ship also higher tier than what you get).

 

Either way. If someone had a favorite, he most likely didn't miss on that, especially since the missions were always so much easier to complete in high tier ships if you had these. Also, even just having one Kongo-class and Myoko-class ARP would kinda be enough since the ships are functionally the same and the rest is up to individual preference.

However, this is one and only Takao that can be acquired. On other servers you need 100k EXP on your favourite ships of mid-to-high tiers. This is a mission every active player can accomplish without changing the way he usually plays the game. The EU variant requires you to have a t IX ship AND to actually play it whether you like it much or not. Compared to other servers' requirements these are prohibitive. Not because they are hard but because some people can't complete the mission with their ships while others need to significantly change their behavior and play ships they don't really like.

Well, if you put your back to it then it's doable - you need well over 200 XP to grind through one of these ships (compare 100k to get Takao with t6 on other servers)... but you have until new year for this. And once you're there, you can just enter the battle, yolo through the middle of the map to score some irrelevant damage in the process, die, go play some other ship. That's probably what WG want, after all - more AFKers/suiciders in t9. This way you can pretty quickly accumulate 50 victories since in a 12v12 format you should still win about 1/3 of the time or more even if you just go AFK or die without doing anything of value to the team.

Hey... I am already thinking about doing that in my only unlocked T9 ship, the Kagero. Start a match, set engines to flank speed and then go watch a movie. Obviously that is what Wargaming wants me to do, because I otherwise refuse to play anything beyond T8 and we (at least some of us) repeatedly told wargaming EU that we do not want harder limitations on our missions then the rest of the world. If they don't play fair, why should I?

[Verdius]

Finally we get a chance to get Taco and Nacho's! 2 months time seems doable, although I only have a Kagerou as tier 9  (although I might get Ibuki soon)

[cro_pwr]

500 secondary battery hits?

Oh god, the brawling is real xD

[Bellegar]

 

Do i sense a little bit arrogance here? You make it sound like Tier 6 would be so much better for this mission. In fact, it is a lot worse, especially if you consider the whole month less time to grind the mission. As tier 6 you are uptiered all the time (you'd know this if you follow the forum and the reports about the broken MM for tier 5 and 6), this means you lose a lot more and you get way less XP, not to mention the frustration from being uptiered 85%+ of the time. Try to grind 100,000 base xp in a tier 6 within 30 days, then report back how it was for you. I'm pretty sure it's easier to win 50 games in a Tier 9/10 than grinding 100,000 base XP in a tier 6.

The problem is that some people do not have T9 ships. Some people do not enjoy high tier gameplay. Some people have real life obligations and cannot play as much as they would want. It's a T8 ship we're getting, you should be able to get it with T8 ships.

 

And PurpleSmurf, get off your high horse, T6 would indeed be better simply because more people could participate, and for the sake of server equality. If you want to use T9, go ahead, it's T6+

 

Wargaming, I'd like a statement why you think we want higher requirements for missions

[mikelight1805]

Will the mission requirements be displayed in port to track our progress? I have a few of the ARP ships from previous missions, but i didn't actively grind them, i just accumulated them by playing the game. This time around i will be paying a bit more attention!

They're displayed as missions usually are.

Don't give up. Their "we cater all different servers individually" answer is utter bullcrap and they know it. We just need to keep harassing them in the Q&A thread about it until they either give a proper answer why they do it this way, or until they finally give us the respect we deserve.

[Nagine]

Does anyone know a secret how to avoid duplicate ships/captains? E.g. I want Kongo, but not yet another Kirishima, which I can't sell/dismiss.

[Egoleter]

Well... if the trend for Wargaming EU continues to make the tier requirements harder and harder, we will soon reach the point where only T-X will be able to earn free ships.

It is a constant upward spiral that I have witnessed in my time here. There is only this one possible end result. Way to go to (not) include the community in your server events.

See my post in that thread. If we do not get a good answer this time I'm gone. If words can't transfer the message then actions have to. I'll write a mail to support to delete my account with the exact reason why I want it removed. I will never again advice any other gamer to try out games on the Wargaming EU server. I'll do the opposite. I've listened to that excuse for ten months. I'm fed.

[LilJumpa]

Same tears, same people and at the end you will all jump and do the mission because you want that free(!) T8 ship.

 

Never seen any of the haters actually leave the game. They are all still here.

 

 

 

 

[xeransa]

When I saw the other server requirements for this event I was actually looking forward to this now that I see we need to use t9 ships of which I have only 1, which I almost never play as I do not enjoy those tiers, 8 is almost manageable why not make it t8 I have nearly all the t8s in the game and it is after all for a t8 reward so why make it even more hard?!? -1 to WG for this

[Keoland]

I have a doubt: don't we need the yokosuka port selected to play the Arpeggio Missons?

 

Because right now I can't switch ports: seems game is stuck on the Halloween port, and my Arpeggio ships are all invisible.

 

Or is there a special way to choose the port?

You can play them with any port selected. You can change the port by clicking on the little anchor below your player name in the port.

Until now, you could do the missions with any port.
