Takao mission - Q&A

[Raziel_Walker]

Thank you for lowering the Takao mission requirement to T8 ships. 

Now ARP Nachi is the only one that I might struggle to complete, all the others should be pretty easy doable as we have 2 months total to complete the mission set.

[ShortySunderland]

A step in the right direction, but still:

 

• Tier 8 =/= Tier 6
• 50 victorious battles roughly means 100 battles fought. 100.000XP on 100 battles, is 1000 base XP per battle (which is roughly what you get from Tier 6 onwards for a decent but not solid performance). 

 

Even with this readjustment, NA has it way easier and a way larger procentual population that can participate in this. Fair? Not at all. And this isn't the first time the EU gets the shorter end of the stick if I look around.

Has the person who came up with the original requirements been sacked or at least sanctioned? As he/she brought some seriously bad PR upon the European office, whose reputation isn't good to begin with.

[Yankmyplank]

Buy a tier 8 premium, be on the winning team 50 times, and get a tier 8 premium free!!

 

WG wtf are you thinking? this will simply lead to people who, refuse to invest time and effort into learning how to play a team game, into tier X battles without a clue what to do.

 

So for the sake of whining childish behavior, you have slapped in the face players that have ground their way to the top level, tier X monsters. Who now can have the battle of their life and end up with a huge repair bill and a loss, simply because you gave away a tier 8 premium, to players with no interest in developing the game or player base.

 

I currently only have tier 7 ships from the tech tree, I also have tier 8 premium but was looking forward to the challenge and hoping to get to a better playing standard. that opportunity has now gone. I thank you not.

Well [edited]you seriously all you have done is now made it so we will get a new wave of people buying tier 8 premium ships flooding the games with no experience on how to use them.

 

You expect a lot of people to “buy” tier VIII just so they can get tier VIII premium ship for free? Can’t they just… buy Atago if that’s the case?

Tier IX was dumb requirement. There is no reason to put requirement higher than reward. If you play tier VIII you have experience in tier VIII, simple as that. Not to mention tier IX is the ones that a lot of people simply don’t like and economy is just one of the problems for that tier. WG wanted to force people to play tier IX and X as most likely they got orders from ruskies to make biggest server gather more data on the new economy and high tier balance. So excuse me that I am not fond of being screwed over, especially when I compare our missions with the ones from the other servers.

Thank you WG for reconsidering that requirement. I honestly think that Nachi mission is still all kinds of retarded, but let’s be honest that Takao is most prominent and most important ship in this event.

[Msiiek]

The lowered tier requirement and there is still bunch of noobs complaining  

 

Noobs, noobs everywhere!

[SteDorff]

Thanks I really apreciate the lowering down to 8 and boy I am glad I waited before unlocking a tier 9 from tier 7 that saved me buying 15000 doubloons. Now I can patiently look around if there are nice end years ships, bundels, specials to spend some money on.

It's a unique ship now WG might as well just give it away as Kandly said when you take into account weekend specials halloween skins and free xp etc getting a tier 9 is easy it would also give people a challenge, that's kind f the point here it is meant to be a challenge. 

Also as far as the 'economy' goes do you even know how to read? they have been fixing the economy but people will only realise that if they play those tiers. But I guess for some people that's too much effort, absolutely pathetic

[MrEff]

Nice! Is there any chance we can get the Nachi mission changed to something a bit more palatable? It's getting difficult to sink Soviet ships when no one's playing them.

If you look at the USA server and what they had to do to complete the mission, and the EU still had it easy prior to this dumb change.

 

You name me a mmo where you do not have to grind to play end game content?  Your argument is flawed, WG have not forced anyone to do anything, for those that do not want to achieve anything other than playing for half an hour here and there. They can quite easly get the tier 5-7 FREE premium ships.

 

All people need to learn to walk before they run. How do you think these players will cope when they travel in a straight line on zoom mode, only to be hit by a Yamato. I know, they will be straight on the forum whining that the Yamoto is too OP they cannot kill it. 

 

When people look a gift horse in the mouth to count it's teeth, I wished the horse closed it's mouth, lifted it's tail and gave then what they need, instead of what they want (for nothing).

[Ishiro32]

It's a unique ship now WG might as well just give it away

Oh, like they do on other servers?
Not to mention since when 50 games in span of two months is a challenge… anyone who have access to that tier can do this, even if he is garbage and has 20% winratio. Just being on high tier doesn’t mean that you know how to play nor does any mission up to this point really required you to be a good player.
There is no good logical argument for tier IX requirement, not for the tier VIII ship, the reaction of the community was justified. WG did well by lowering required tier.

[Fino_93]

THX wg for the lowered the mission to t8, i will enjoy it even if i am at almost half of it, and i enjoy even more reading the tears of who doesn't like the change cause of things...

 

 

Btw, for the nachi issue i think that extend/give better reward the russian weekend mission could be a solution, making more people sailing the soviet ships...

[bubbs90]

Hey guys,

 

The Takao mission requirement has been lowered to Tier VIII. All progress is kept and the ship can now be obtained by completing the mission with a Tier VIII ship or higher!

 

Best,

Kandly

 

Does this mean you'll reimburse my 70000 free xp I used to get a t9 ship in order to do this mission?

[IsamuKondera]

 

Hi guys (and girls). 

 

We reviewed the great amount of feedback you provided in regards to using a tier IX ship for the Takao mission. After doing so, we decided that it is actually a reasonable request, and changed the mission to include tiers 8-10, instead of 9-10. This is not something we'd usually do, but in this particular case we may have pushed the requirement a bit too far, especially considering this is the last run of ARP missions ever. We want everyone interested to have the 2 months to get the ships.

 

All progress should have been kept.

 

We hope you'll enjoy the change and now do your best to get the ship It's a lovely tier 8, we hope you'll enjoy it.

 

Keep on rowing,

 

 

It's nice that you guys lowered the takao requirement. But i would really like to know if it will be somehow possible to add some missions for the 3 remaining Captains? I have 3 Hieis that i will never use but i never gopt a chance to get Iona and the other 2 captains and I would gladly change the reserve hieis against Iona, Gunzou and the bear version from Kirishima. Since it is the last set of missions it would be a shame if EU won't be abel to get them.

Well congratulations you whining bunch of [edited]. High tiers finally get a challenge and you all piss and moan until it gets changed. Well [edited]you seriously all you have done is now made it so we will get a new wave of people buying tier 8 premium ships flooding the games with no experience on how to use them.

...50 wins in two months seems like a CHALLENGE for people playing 9+ tiers?

Damn. Seems like we have some seriously challenged top tier players.

Please oh please change some of the doubled captains with the 3 missing ones, if you can't make an event for them! Even with lvl 0. It really sux not being able to get them as well.

[viceadmiral123]

The Takao mission was change to "Ships tier VIII or above". Either way, 50 wins is rather easy for a t8 "regular" Atago+slot+captain.

And tier8 brings it down to Ranked-honed 18pt captains

Thank you very much! Much appreciated

[Sophia_Mus]

WG did listen to their player base fore the first time ever and as such deserve praise. THX!!! WG! smooth move indeed!

 

However the Nachi mission also need to be changed to sink 100 ships total instead of 80 in total, but with 20 from each nation less uk, as the 20 russian ships will make it

impossible. Keep the t8+ for her if you want, (should rightly be t7), but either remove the 20 russian ships and ad their numbers to the other tre nations, or make it a total of 100 sunk ships.

 

Kindly a paying customer whom demands both quality and fairness in the game.

 

Good luck on the high seas!

The second time actually, the first was when they started offering Premium vehicles without bundles.

​Ah that's true, so 2. time it is. Let's hope WG also does something about the Nachi mission.

And when they didn't make secondary battery modification upgrade disappear, and when give us the kamikaze R without the lottery.

You mean in the context of a foulmouthed temper tantrum that just categorically insults everyone who criticized the mission?

Or in the context of a post that seemingly doesn't know the definition of a "mission" and a "challenge"?
