How dare you!

[anonym_HuPD0cDRe20Y]

I was Mid Campaign about to finish the Very last Campain missions to recieve Graf Spee only to have the entire thing cancelled during progress .... Unlike other Players, i don't get the freedom of playing Every night due to myself working full time.... it was a painful grind given how much time i'm allowed to allocate to this.

 

This is outrageous... how dare you take away my change of being within Reaching distance of a Limited ship by cancelling the missions at the very last step. AND before the patch....

 

Truly unacceptable!

Same here, 2 more minutes and I would have had it...

Guys you can also buy the ship, if you didn't make it!  

[DreadArchangel]

I bought it, and then done the campaign.

LUL

Exactly, WG is a poor company who needs your investments in order to continue adding Royal Navy BBs and DDs, balanced Russian ships to the game!

[GreatWolf]

That's a pretty annoying business tactic... I wonder when will be the playerbase fed up with it.

[EdiJo]

Heh. I also thought the campaign will last until the new patch (so still a few hours more), but actually it was given exactly on the page:

The Convoy Campaign will start in Europe on 2 January (00:01 UTC) and will last until 18 January (23:59 UTC) synchronous with the other regions. 

 

 

[Zogash85]

^^ What he said. End time was clear from the get go.

[Tungstonid]

So what exactly is new? Missions always ended with the beginning of the day that was mentioned in the announcment and not at 23.59, haven't they? (edit: Thanks @ EdiJo for looking up the correct time frame.)

And if you haven't barely finished the mission, it is not finished. So there is no reward, end of the story.

And I can tell you what will happen once sleeping time is over: People will come here, tell you that they managed to finish the mission in time, even though some of them also work a full time job and have family and stuff, and that there is no reason to give WG responsibility for that.

If you can't invest the necessary time to finish the missions in the given time frame, you get no reward. No matter whether you have one or 100 missions left to do.

Yes, WG needs money like every other game company out there. Server costs, staff, developers, facilities, equipment, ... and last but not least profit e.g. for investing. It is not like they use 5 € to pay a single developer for sometimes quesitonable content and the rest is used as expensive cigarrete paper or as bath tub filling.

And I can't claim my Graf Spee Perma camo.

That's all fine and dandy but ingame it written 2 - 19 Jan, not 2-18.

Besides Maneuvers in the Atlantic is still going (which Campaign should have too until end of today, it AS WELL has 23.12-19.01 duration)

it was stated, so deal with it

[CruleD]

So Campaign and Challenge both have duration 23.12 -19.01 but Campaign ends at 18.01 23:59 while Challenge ends 19.01 23:59, much sense.

Maybe, ingame they messed up for different time zones? For me it was 19.1.2017 at 0.59 o'clock... But in case of doubt the homepage should be the way to go.

Regarding the "Manoeuvres in the Atlantic"... these challenges always end on the day mentioned but very early in the morning. The Cristmas Convoy and Hunt for Graf Spee were a special and time limited campaign. So you can't really compare them in this matter.

You're assuming i had time to also look at the page to see the end time as well as try my best to grind this out....

not just by looking at the End date ingame...

Now you're really grasping at straws mate... It takes half a minute to check the website. I do it for every mission I care about.

[Flarebright]

You are kidding right?

You do not have the time to check the website Oo thats a thing of not even 2 minutes, can be done on your mobile during transit to work or while having a lunch break.

Sorry man but thats a ridiculous excuse.

There is no fault on WG side, you have no right to complain. Take it as it is, you failed to check the times and well the outcome is clear, you didnt finish the missions.

So you should have learned for the next mission you care about, check the website ;)

To be Frank... i shouldn't need to check the website when the end time SHOULD BE IN THE GAME!

 

ALSO, would you not be pissed off if the battle you were in would give you a ship just after only to find the campaign ended before the battle!?

 

Stop trying to defend this.... If the game had waited 5 minutes, this thread wouldn't exist....

 

I'd also like to point out that even if i'd have seen the end time... you think i'd still be able to get this done even knowing it?

It took me this long at my fastest possible speed.

it's not going to change just by knowing the deadline!

So in the end your case breaks down to actually you being at fault, am I seeing that right?

You didn't take your time or didn't bother to inform yourself properly about the end time on the homepage, which IMHO everyone who is even remotely interested into this game should do for all major events.

You didn't take the time which would have been necessary for you to finish the mission. And please don't bring again your excuse of working full time. I, too, know people who either work full time or were busy over the last weeks for various reasons and they still got the Admiral Graf Spee.

The only things which one COULD reproach WG with is the "false" date ingame. But again: This varies for different regions. While people in France and GB had "only time until" the 18.1. at 23.59, people in Germany, Austria, Poland etc had time until the 19.1., 00:59. Maybe things got mixed up, I don't know. But the main repsonsibility for your "failure" still lies with you.

[anonym_HuPD0cDRe20Y]

let me make this clear... I WAS IN BATTLE as the campaign ended... 5 minutes more and i'd be a Graf Spee richer..... THAT WAS HOW CLOSE I COULD MAKE IT!

LIFE COMES FIRST! I tried my absolute best to finish intime... i was 5 MINUTES out.... and it ended before my mission... that is a little BS! it could've let me finish!

Clearly you know full timers that don't care enough about their job to want to work more to make the business accomplish it's goals.

No it could not, the event was set to a specific time and date, you simply did not manage to finish it in given time, well tough luck and nothing else.

If you cannot or do not want to invest the time required for an event, then you simply do not deserve to get the ship.

The 5 minutes are well bad but hey so it simply is.

As said before there is no justification why you should get 5 minutes more than anyone else.

If you wanted that ship so badly you would have invested the time needed before the deadline and not just as a last minute effort.

Ofc life comes first but then dont complain about it. Your priorities are your choice and no one else is at fault here except you.

 

Just as an addition, I work full time, I am currently on a business trip where playing is rather impossible due to latency (connecting from Australia to EU Servers aint fun) 

I got a family and a real life to take care of and still I managed to get the ship.

The game doesn't wait for anybody. It doesn't care about your progress or for anyone's progress for that matter.

This thread also wouldn't exist if you had started 5 minutes earlier today. Or if you had played one more battle yesterday or the day before or whenever you had time to play before today. so why didn't you? Because you had other priorities I guess. Work, family, other hobbies or whatever. I mean... I won't blame you for that because a lot of things are more important than online games.

But you can look at it from all sides, the responsibility is with you because you are the one who decides how much time you will spend for this mission.

[anonym_HuPD0cDRe20Y]

I'm not saying i should get 5 minutes more, you're not understanding me... i'm saying if you're in mission with the campaign active, it should allow you to FINISH said battle before modifying... would that not be a sensible algorithm?
