I think it's a vast improvement over the previous rewards for the early stages of the mission. Especially since you get on average more for your efforts.

Sure the end reward is rather small being 10x camos (plus the stage V DCSM 2), but the requirements for all the stages look tailored for the average gamer and not the unicum player.

I'm pretty happy with what I got from stages 1-3 and if this is the future of the weekly mission then I'm happy with the change, especially compared to last weeks requirements where you needed to sacrifice a baby goat to RNGesus to even have a shot at stage 4.

does anyone knows if those containers have a chance for SC?

So that's why all those wild containers appeared.

Well... no. They are fixed to be what you can read in those notes about the weekly mission. First one is a credit container, second one signals and third one consumables. They won't be anything else.

Be careful guys, once again the website says for the final stage 5 "Any Tier VI+ ship", but ingame it says "Japanese ships of Tier VI or higher".

 

Last week it was exactly the same, website said "Any Tier VI+ ship", but ingame it was "German Battleships Tier VI or higher".

 

And people were already cheering for slightly easier requirements this week.

 

Is it really so difficult to create newsposts that match the actual content in the game? @Tuccy @MrConway

So the last mission suddenly became much harder, as most japanese ships struggle with 200 ribbons in a single battle because of their relativly low rate of fire?

Wow, just wow. Same mistake twice in a row... Next week again?

Does it really surprise you?

"We screw up on a weekly basis and increase the amount of fail with every event" is the company motto.

If you haven't actually progressed to the final stage yet, the in-game mission description doesn't mention Japanese ships either.

It does as soon as you reach stage 5 (screenshot taken from reddit post by Yuzorah).

 

It was exactly the same last week.

[Aragathor]

And here I was, praising WG, silly me. No week without a screw up or a lie miscommunication.

To finish the mission you'd need a lucky Akizuki game or a good BB game with many secondary hits. And for what? A measly upgrade worth 1mio. silver and 10 camos...

Hey WGEU do you really hate the people that pay your wages so much that you can't stop pissing on them?

[AlwaysBadLuckWithTeams]

Mogami, maybe Myoko, bb secondaries (esp. Nagato & Yamato), AKIZUKI.

Checked, yes, the Japanese condition is correct. We will fix it on the portal ASAP tomorrow morning.

 

(As for easy / not easy there are several separate workflows involved, so we will have to find where along the way the error popped up).

 

Sorry for the inconvenience.  I kinda hoped we fixed this already after last week.

Maybe that's where the problem lies in the first place? Your structures are way to complex and need to be streamlined to massivly reduce the potential points of error?

I wonder why that workflow was not analyzed last week then after the first time this mistake happend.

[Unintentional_submarine]

LOL... so Akizuki or Izumo/Yamato with manual secs. Yeah, since the latter is unlikely I have to go for the former, which is not going to be fun with 40k damage to cruisers. I mean it can absolutely be done, but it will be a pain since I only have one realistic candidate for it and I still have to do enough damage to other ships to get third place in damage. It's not as if Akizuki is a great damage outlier, she is a good consistent damage ship, so pain indeed.

 

Excellent mission structure once more.

[Jethro_Grey]

I'll try my luck with the Harekaze, she's Japanese after all. Tho these 10 camos (weren't there previously 20 as a reward in the final stage) are hardly worth the effort. 

[MBrandis]

So how is having as insane requirements for the final mission stage as the week before while paying out only half the camos as before "making it easier" on rewards? 

This is just another nerf to rewards.

Mogami 155 can also do the mission, or Zao with a really good game. But yeah, the national requirement makes the 5th stage the usual difficulty for half the reward...

Try Akizuki if you have one, i completed stage 3 with that ship.

[RUSSIANBlAS]

Yes but sorry WG I know we shouldn't complain about free stuff but this is getting beyond a joke.

 

Is there any reason why you are giving away 10 camos for the 5th mission rather than 20 in many previous missions?

 

Maybe stats show that too many are completing the missions?

 

Maybe some of us have accumulated too many camos? Like how you nerfed flag containers from 5 flags to 4?

 

Or maybe you want to laugh at the EU server again?

Here we go again. Nothing is really free. The mission rewards aren't "free" because to get them you have to play, sacrifice your time and energy that you could be spending elsewhere.

And since time is worth more than money we are actively "paying" for those rewards.

 

WG needs to entice people to play their game, since we can all do something else instead. They "try" by offering us mission rewards.

This level of ongoing incompetence, ignorance and the lack of learning aptitude is insulting.

Why should they learn? We are after all just customers paying their wages...
