Yeah, awesome, isn't it? Making only stage 1 accessible for Coop players, stage 4 is just ludicrously hard to do and stage 5 has Bismarck written all over it. And the rewards for achieving those two stages are just... uninteresting tbh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's nothing wrong with stage one, it's the fact that it's the only stage accessible for Coop players. Why can't they complete the other stages in Coop, too?

The_Great_SCH Players 374 posts 3,672 battles Report post #32 Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) The funny part is that YOU HAVE TO HAVE A GOOD GAME. So let's say you ram in one game, you come 2nd in the team, what then? Try again, fail again, fail better? And the ones who ram, are mostly BB's, but BB's do not come 1st in most games, especially in domination, where DD's tend to get most XP. As i said on the portal, Leningrad with speed boost and speed flag, watch out, i am running... but i wonder how many times will i have to do this sh*t over and over. WG, READ THIS! STOP INVENTING STUPID MISSIONS AND JUST MAKE US DO WHAT WORKS, GET XP HELP THE TEAM, CAP, DEFEND CAPS ETC... STOP SPOILING US!

If anything, this mission might be easiest in a DD - you can get a good game in a DD while remaining full hp and then at the end of the battle - full speed ahead, speedboost and ram into some remaining ship... you have the speed for that. BBs can survive longer (and deal so much more ramming damage) but they usually lack speed and nimbleness to ram someone who doesn't want to get rammed.

Sorry, i meant that the ones who ram most are BB's. And yes, that's why i wrote that i will get the Leningrad to do this mission, i hope i will be lucky enough to get to a ship and ram, until the secondaries end me. Also, there are not many games, where DD's doing their jobs right remain with full HP. Remember you gotta expose yourself and cap, defend cap, spot etc. to get most XP.

[BOTS] deadly_if_swallowed Players 1,678 posts 13,867 battles Report post #36 Posted January 11, 2017 I will drive BB all week long and give you something to launch your torps at Guess I will sail Yamato with "Die Hard"-flags, and just park at a remote area of the map so DDs can just ram me there by the end of the game. Guess Yamato should be able to tank up to 3 ramming DDs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skyllon Players 2,588 posts Report post #37 Posted January 11, 2017 Let me just say, I laughed hard after reading Mission 4 description. Thank you WG for making my day. Don't you ever change! Next iteration of missions should definitely develop around this idea. Maybe something like 'In one battle, ram 2 destroyers'? I cannot wait for all hilarity I'm going to witness over the next couple of days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[ESN] Damanta [ESN] Beta Tester 311 posts 8,960 battles Report post #40 Posted January 11, 2017 Wow, and I thought the ones we had the last few weeks were hilarious. I've been able to sink other ships by ramming 26 times in over 3k battles, not sure if I ever had unsuccesful rammings in the sense that I died and the enemy did not. I'm really curious to see how this will play out when people are trying to do that stage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Syrchalis Players 1,401 posts 3,820 battles Report post #43 Posted January 11, 2017 Next week will be CV Kraken, Top XP, 500k credits earning, Clear Sky and surviving My average CV game (save for the credits, GG economy). (I'm kidding by the way) In all seriousness, just don't bother. I didn't look at it, but the rewards can't possibly be worth it. There is only a few missions ever that were worth the reward, e.g. the Takao mission. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trad9 Players 41 posts 8,228 battles Report post #48 Posted January 12, 2017 Current big multistage missions concept is also ok if you will have non-retarded tasks there. But having in parallel small repetitive missions enforcing proper gameplay(like it was mentioned here before) with some small rewards can change the situation on server , as even potatoes will try to accomplish this tasks from battle to battle.
