Getting USS Missouri tier IX premium BB

Getting USS Missouri  

118 members have voted

  1. 1. My way to get this ship will be:

    • 1. My 800k free XP is ready from regular battles
    • 2. I have majority of free XP now, will buy doubloons for converting to 800k
    • 3. I have small part now, will buy doubloons for converting to 800k
    • 4. Im waiting for lucky free XP Supercontainers or will not invest real money for ship
    • 5. I dont like Iowa class BBs will not try to get
    • 6. I dont like concept of rare, expensive ships for rich people or hardcore players only
    • 7. I like to use my free XP only for regular tech tree ships
    • 8. I dont like tier IX premium because its hard to fight in tier X battles
    • 9.Dont have enough free XP on my ships to convert or converting is expensive/will not have enough free XP

I cannot even choose one answer.

 

I want the ship.

 

Am i willing to fork out £92 quid for the ship? Nope, not when i can buy 3 T8 ships for that price alone and then some.

 

I do have quite a few db doing nothing right now but do i really want to blow it all on free XP for a T9 ship? again not really.

 

Tirpitz is just under £40 right now, maybe £60-70 i could understand but even so the Missouri seems to have no consumbles that we know of and possibly will be a weaker Iowa which we can already get with premium camo for overall cheaper.

Wow. So many options in the poll and you missed the most important one:

 

"I'd like the ship, but I don't have enough free XP nor will I get enough free XP, so I will not get the ship."

I can write long story here and no one will read 30 mins options...

4 answers ''I will get'' and 4 answers ''will not get'' is fine to find yourself with 1 or 2 answers

That's exactly the honest answer I would chose if there was that option.  I chose that I don't like the concept of rare ships for hardcore or rich players only even though I can't blame that much about the "rich" ones having myself more than 10 premium ships. However there's no way I'll get 800000 free XP or that I'll pay that much money for the doubloons needed for just that one ship no matter how good it is. I'll completely pass on that one with those insane requirements. I wonder even for WG standards who thought that was a good idea.

There is not a single option, that states that you are ready to invest money into it, but not 800k xp.

 

Answer 2. or 3. can be closest?

Where is the "would rather grind for the silver Iowa instead" option? Unless it comes with something really awesome in terms of it's "gimmick" (if it even has one - could just be a simple reskin) I don't see the point in spending so much money in converting XP (I don't have hundreds of thousands of the stuff lying around!). Would rather get the awesome North Carolina and then move on to the Iowa. Just got my Bismacrk tonight which makes me a very happy camper, once that's upgraded I'll just play it for fun and return to the RN CL and IJN BB line to grind.

Are you even sure it's 800k? I've heard other, way lower, numbers.

 

800k is the numbers on the leak.

 

That said its a leak, it could be way less, they will want to sell it and turn a profit but China already crowdfunded it to begin with so the chinese paid for it already and the model is done.

 

Even then i do not want to pay more for a worse Iowa with premium camo just because it is T9.

easiest poll

 

will you get it?

 

yes  [   ]

no   [   ]

 

This will be most expensive premium ship in a game-not Tachibana or Diana easy investments... People will calculate a lot what to do 1)Yes 2)No 3)Maybe will  be pointless in this case

Updated answer 9. for Aerroon, SHDRKN4792 and others :)

 

Well, while that's another situation that new (or maybe not even that new) players can have "not having enough XP" to convert won't be tru in my case either, I have more than 2 million XP in my ships and I'm sure a lot of players have even a lot more. What I meant it's that I'm not investing all the money that would take the doubloons to convert 800000 XP to free XP even if it's an Iowa class BB. It's so much money for a single ship that it's not worth it in my opinion.

It will not be cheap, for sure (and 50% players to get without extra money)

"I won't get a port decoration for 800k, not bc t10 battles are too difficult, but bc i almost never play BBs"

 

I can pay up to 200k +/- 50k, if i have enough time to get that much free exp.

Anything above and I'd rather save it to skip some shitboats, or use it to get Yamato (will also be a port deco).

But that is not what I said. I did not say that I did not have enough convertible XP. I said that I do not have enough free XP and I will not get enough free XP by that time, because the doubloons conversion would be too expensive.

 

I have more than 6 million of convertible XP.

 

I have nothing against this way of doing it or against Iowa class battleships or against tier 9 battleships or anything like that. I just don't have the free XP and I will not have the doubloons to convert it.

I won't get it because I have no interest in playing it, but I do like the concept of rare ships. Maybe WG could add a counter for the ships you've sunk, or not sunk..? I'd like to have more 'white whale' moments.

800k is a lot of free xp (and money) for an Iowa.

 

I would consider it if the ship had a unique gimmick like radar or long range secondaries, but for a vanilla Iowa with a special skin it's way overpriced.

It seems the ship doesn't have premium status. The only premium feature is apparently the commander training. So you can swap him over without retraining.

I won't buy it as I already got the Iowa sitting in port. I will instead buy Graf Spee asap on her release date, as she will be an excellent ship to play.

to answer it without a poll:

No matter the price, it will probably be too expensive, so I won't get it.

Which will be a bit "dull" since its a crowdfunded ship.
