Rembert82 Beta Tester 3 posts 4,911 battles Report post #2 Posted March 13, 2017 nah that's just the XP you need to earn to retrain your captain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[TOXIC] eliastion Players 4,795 posts 12,260 battles Report post #3 Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) It's not doublons (gold) - it's XP. And you can insta-halve it for 200k credits (silver). And skill reset is another thing entirely... Edited March 13, 2017 by eliastion 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ajb13 Beta Tester 663 posts 12,465 battles Report post #4 Posted March 13, 2017 Just select the ship you want him to be in and you have the option to transfer a captain from another ship. If the new ship is not a premium ship you will have to retrain him. A 19 skill captain will take 250000 exp to fully retrain - you can reduce that by half with credits, or fully train him immediately with doubloons. While he is not fully trained on the ship some of his skills will not work and others will have a reduced effect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SCRUB] Aotearas Players 8,460 posts 13,076 battles Report post #9 Posted March 13, 2017 First: That's not gold, that's the amount of captain XP you need in order to retrain it. You can boost that by half for 200.000 credits, or you can pay 500 doubloons (gold) to instant retrain the captain. Second: Why on the seven seas would you want that captain on the tier I Hashidate!?!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[UTW] ShinGetsu Weekend Tester, In AlfaTesters 8,985 posts 7,359 battles Report post #10 Posted March 13, 2017 Honestly I'm not even surprised. When I see the depressing amount of BB captains using Survivability Expert (the skill for more health) on tier 9 and 10 Battleships... I don't know, it's not like it is already hard to give up on some skills when I do a build for battleship, and there are idiots that pick the most useless tier 3 skill for a BB...

How about you guys answer it without the snarky elitism, and without stat-shaming? Ty. I fully agree with you mate. It´s always like this. People ask a question. Get mocked on by some selfproclaimed kings. That guy showed that as an EXAMPLE. But of course such good players can´t understand that. They are way much better than us deadly This forum is "owned" by some few "elite" players. I play for fun. Am a pretty ordinary player.

Albert_Poop_Decker Players 98 posts 2,555 battles Report post #18 Posted March 13, 2017 I play for fun and the guy is able to play the game as he likes. My agreement was with WG not the tea leaf readers who think they can ride over our contract. It is nothing to do with them. Play the game as you want to and sod the statistics. I don't think they are sound anyway and can change the wr on one by selecting another. Only by 1% but enough to take them with a pinch of salt anyway. The guy asked a question and I don't see the relevance of his stats to his question nor the tier level he wants to change his Captain to. If he's assigning inappropriate skills what's wrong with a bit of friendly advice instead of spite. If you don't like daft questiones, don't read them. Newbies unite, forget the flamers and pis* takers who think a noob is a dirty word and they never make a slip of course. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No we can certainly not. We don´t live in a perfect world. There will always be real experts here. Of the kind who knows everything. Hell, they know more than God himself. And they will always pick on people just because THEY think that they are idiots. They can´t help it because they are such a big players so they just have to tell everyone how good they are And tell the ones who aren´t so good how stupid they are. How useless they are. Instead of helping others so do they mog them. They really must have a great childhood(if they even have left it) To learn how to bully people. So yes Sir. We don´t all get what we want. Have a great day. And happy hunting 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Checked out a players stats the other day as he was being rather salty in chat, and was most amazed at what I found. Apart from a small dabble in the German cruiser and DD lines, no more than 30 games I think, he had played no games under Tier 7. He'd bought himself a Tirpitz and Scharnhorst and then used the free XP to get himself some T8 to T10 BB's. It goes without saying that his Stats were appalling, even after over 1000 games in them he still has little clue how the game works. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a videogame genre for that: it's called "singleplayer" ... If you however insist on playing however you feel like and damn the consequences for you and everyone else who's stuck on your team in a multiplayer game, then there's another word for that: "egomaniac".
