Fun with missions: Design your own!

[Tuccy]

Captains, 

As a follow-up to a rather lengthy post in the old questions and Answers thread, let's see your creativity. The task is simple:

Design a mission or mission chain and try to include:

• Time frame
• Basic requirements
• Reward proposal
• Guess how many players would be able to finish it in the given time frame.

 

For advanced contenders, you may even try to think about a set of missions combining reach and depth (so "popular" and "hardcore" segment.

 

If you have an idea about a different duration, feel free to shoot. Please do not discuss the individual proposals! 

 

You have one week - until next thursday, after that we'll go through the thread.

 

Action Stations!

[Vanhal]

I would get your usual weekly missions, then:

 

- Remove the "in single battle" requirement.

- Replace all the achievment requirements like the Kraken on more grindy but less RNG-y requirements, like instead of 5 frags in one battle, make this 15 in any number of battles, and so on.

- No more specific nation kills requirement, and the damage nation requirement only applicable to nations with all 3 lines: BB, CA and DD.

- In the case of missions designed for specific class or nation, reduce the minimum tier to 4+.

- For the above requirements, current rewards like in the Battle of Savo are ok.

 

Weekends. Look at NA. Something like this.

 

Irregular missions - look at RU.

 

PS. I may have not understand the thread topic entirely (and on purpose), but it's really, really, REALLY time to finally do something about totally lackluster EU events and missions. Good first step would be October Revolution event like on RU.

[avenger121]

What about simply copying missions from your far more successfull big brother WG RU? After all EU players dont want to get spoiled too much from EU missions, EU players would do fine with the basic RU missions.

[dusan1001]

Would you ever consider giving 2 weekly missions regularly

One noob friendly with lesser requirements and less rewarding and 1 challenging with bigger reward that way the whole player base will be happy

For example

Noob friendly mission:

1.Get 5k base XP Reward - 1 signals container

2.Deal 100k dmg to crusers-2 random containers

3.Deal 150k dmg to BBs - 3 random containers

4.Deal 20k dmg with fires in single game 1mil credits

5.Deal 80k dmg in single game 3 bismark flags each

 

Challenging mission

1.Get 1800 base xp in single game 5 kraken flags

2.Get 200 ribbons win game and be in top3 xp earner 5 type6 camos

3.Get high caliber achievenet  5 dragon flags

4.Get High caliber and confederate in single game 5 bismark flags each

5.Get 2500 base xp in single game 20 restless fire camos

[LordFjord]

Ahoy,

now I usually do not frequent the forums (rather hang out on reddit), but this was a topic that was repeatedly discussed and I have written some suggestions some while ago here (reddit).

 

Copy/pasta with a few edits to here (note that I wrote this before this week's mission changes, which I actially like):

Suggestion:

• split the weekly event. One frequent critic of these missions was: "I will neverever complete it cause its so friggin hard/RNG/whatever", that people ignored them. Designate the first 3 missions as "basic weekly mission", sum up the others in a "advanced weekly mission" - and a new one: "weekly challenge mission". Give the basic weekly mission a small reward after completion. This way people have a sense of accomplishment from easy and relaxed gameplay.
• advanced mission: just a single one. Let it run parallel to the basic ones. It is infuriating to finish a 3k base XP match but not being able to complete the mission cause it happened while you were on the 1st basic mission. The more if requirements are very hard or RNG related. In exchange, before anyone calls that we want more free stuff, adjust the rewards. We had plenty of weekly missions so far, by now you should have some data of what worked good and what didn't.
• weekly challenge: challenging missions that are not "in a single battle": We know you can count achievments, how about "get X Confederate" or "get Y Kraken" or "get Z High Caliber" during the week? Devestating strikes, first bloods and whatnot, plenty to choose from. Finish all of the weekly challenges for some extra goodies. Without this being gated from other missions. Stuff for your 1%. Without too much RNG.

To sum it up, you have:

• something to do for casual players: 3 basic missions, similar to the current ones with similar rewards. Stuff achievable by most players and they have an easy goal to aim for. I'd expect maybe a third to half the playerbase to complete these.
• a single hard mission for the good players (advanced mission). Mission difficulty like weekly #4 or #5. Reward 1M credits or things like 10 camos, a pack of flags and so on. Maybe 10% completion rate.
• something to do for the hardcore crowd (weekly challenges). Stuff that isn't easy and stuff that does not rely that much on RNG as much as the advanced mission. No "in a single battle" stuff. For example: get a Kraken or 5 Confederate or 10 first blood achievements within the week. Or get 10k base XP, but only matches with >2k base XP count. Just no clear sky before it is fixed/reworked. But mostly achievement based stuff. Things that keep good players playing. Reward wise, similar to the advanced missions. ~10% completion rate as well.

[Z_OnkelE]

I think LordFjord mentioned many important aspects for mission guidelines. Generally I think the weekly missions should less be about gating players than simply an appeal to play more. For me personally it's not a bad thing if a broad audience completes many of the missions.

 

I would like to add that there are currently no missions that count the team play statistics such as

• damage upon your spotting
• potential damage
• capture points

which I want very much to be included in the future, for example a mission "Collect 300 capture points." (over any number of battles of course). With those units collected over any number of games RNG-elements are levelled out. Such a mission also points the player towards more teamplay oriented aspects of the game (in contrast to "get X kills of Y", which awards a rather selfish style).

 

For me it looks also appealing to combine daily challenges, similar to those we have gotten with the Dunkirk event ("Gain 2000 Base-XP"), as part of a combined mission with 5 parts (first two easy, repeatable challenges "X damage/XP" or "Y ribbons") as a "complete challenge 1 at least once" with a bit more challenging missions. Due to this combination this final mission itself is obviously more challenging.

@Tuccy wouldn't this be a nice thread to test out the new voting options? Or is that for a latter stage?

[Commander_Cornflakes]

Road to Shinano:

 

A mission chain for CVs with the Shinano waiting as the final price. (Or maybe another new special CV.) Should be available for at least 2 months because lot of grinding at the beginning.

 

Part 1

• Shoot down 50 planes over any number of matches.
• For CVs tier 4 or higher
• Reward: 20 flags November Echo Setteseven

Part 2

• Hit 20 bombs and 20 airplane torpedos over any number of matches.
• For CVs tier 4 or higher
• Reward: Flight Control Modification 1 and Air Groups Modification 1

Part 3

• Deal 100 000 damage with flooding or fire over any number of matches.
• For CVs tier 5 or higher
• Reward: 20 flags Juliet Whiskey Unaone and 20 flags Victor Lima

Part 4

• Sink 20 enemy ships over any number of matches.
• For CVs tier 5 or higher
• Reward: 30 camouflages (no idea which, just some good camos ^^)

(Now the grinding is over)

 

Part 5

• Reach 150 000 spotting damage in one match.
• For CVs tier 6 or higher
• Reward: A Captain with 12 skill points for Hosho

Part 6

• Hit 10 bombs, 10 airplane torpedos and shoot down 10 planes in one match.

• Reward: 30 flags each Juliet Whiskey Unaone, Victor Lima and India X-Ray

Part 7

Part 8

• Get Kraken. Get High Calibre. Get Confederate. (Not necessarily in one match)
• For CVs tier 8 or higher
• Reward: Shinano

 

I know there are many flag rewards but I'm not creative enough for other rewards :D

 

Since it's CV only, I guess that less than 20% of all players will finish it completely in time. (But that's the point, a hightier premium CV should not be given to everyone ^^)

[Verdius]

Over any number of battles: cap 5 points. Must be done in a battleship.

 

At least they wont be camping the mapborder then.

P.S. Yes, i know this will require a small improvement of mission system. I will write mission tasks without it next time.

 

 

 

[Valinrista]

I would, for weekly missions, cut in two parts.

One part with a 5 Missions Chain

A second part with a single mission with two requirements being

First : Complete the mission chain

Second : Specific Type/Nation skill requiring mission.

 

So, Chain mission (Tier IV to X):

First : Kill 5 Ships (In any number of battles) Reward : Credit Container*2

Second : Deal 50000 Damage (In any number of battles) Reward : Consumable container*2

Third : Be the first to spot 2 ships & Get 20000 spotting damage (In any number of battles) Reward :Flag Container*2

Fourth : Hit 100 Main Battery shells & 15 Torpedoes Aerial or Ship (In any number of battles) Reward : One of each container

Last  : In a single battle earn an heroic achievement and join the top 6 of your team. Reward : 5 Random containers and a "special upgrade"

 

The parrarel "hard" mission (T VIII to X) :

- Finish all 5 stage of the chain

- In a single battle Win with a Britsh Light Cruiser, dealing over 125k damage and being first of your team.

Reward : 24h Premium, 10 Containers (From which you can chose the type, thus having a SuperContainer chance), A special upgrade (different from the chain).

 

 

The idea with this, is to have a chain that everybody will be able finish, easy to get with not so bad rewards but not great either, that's a total of 14 Containers and a "special upgrade".

 

In parrarel a much more difficult mission, requiring the player to have the necessary ship type but giving much more important reward. This would allow everybody to get most of the rewards, players able to only do the chain would not feel spoiled by not being able to do that extra hard mission because it is tagged has a hard mission made for long time players with lots of ships and because the rewards are close to what they got already in the chain.

 

At the same time the long time player with all ship line grinded can get a weekly 24h premium and goodies to reward him for being a long time player with many ships in his port. Of couse rewards can be tweaked and changed weekly, I used containers cause I feel it's a good way to balance things without giving it too much thoughts, but the most important is the idea of it, having an easy chain for everyone and a parrarel hard mission for the hardcore players.

 

[robihr]

i really dont mind current weekly missions if you changed only 2 things in them. remove nations criteria and remove mission chain. so instead of current format where you have 5 stages mission you simultaneously run all 5 stages as 5 separate missions(maybe even 6th that has criteria of finishing all 5 missions ). i get mostly stuck in grindy part of the stage so i usually dont finish 4th and 5th stages even though i get their requirements often while doing the grindy part.

 

weekly mission structure:

• no brainer (play 3 battles/win 1 battle/kill 1 ship)
• little skill (sink 2 ships in 1 battle/do 50k damage in 1 battle/deal 20k fire damage in 1 battle or smth similarly easy)
• grindy mission (hit 50 ship torps/ set 50 fires/kill 30 ships)
• skilled mission (do 100k damage in 1 battle/ get 60k scouting damage in one battle/tank 1.5 million damage)
• heroic battle mission (earn kraken/high caliber/confederate)
• complete them all mission (finish 5 previous mission)

mission rewards can be same as before.

[marq]

What I want to propose:
For a good start, sets of missions for 3 classes [battleships, cruisers and destroyers, for carriers I would have to think (and play) more]. They have both popular and more hardcore parts, promote specific gameplay and teamplay. They are also more skill-based, better commanders will complete them a bit faster, while they are still doable for mediocre players (though more time will be needed). I tried to skip most irritating parts from current format, i.e. RNG based requirements, "in-one-battle" tasks, necessity of playing/killing one nationality and class.

Constant progress, no "choke points".

Here I'm not quite sure with achievement-based missions. Someone suggested me to put "Regenerate X number of HP" instead, but I'm not sure it's tracked in-game. I mean, there is no such a position in post-battle report.

But ofc I would prefer option with HP regeneration.

Chained missions that become progressively more difficult, but which encourage players to play their ship type's role and play to that type's strengths, benefiting their team the most.

You can easily do the same for the other three ship types, create missions that are chained, tie rewards to things that not only suit the ship type, but also aid their team, while helping the player to play even better, by granting rewards that help the player to play that class.

For cruisers, rewards should be tied to damaging destroyers and cruisers, for battleships, to sinking cruisers and battleships, for CVs it should be for scouting, shooting down planes, and doing tons of damage.

Depending on the time limit, anyone with the appropriate ships should easily be able to complete at least one of these chains, even if they don't play that much.

A week or two seems fair to me, but something like this would be excellent for permanent missions (once per 2 weeks or once per month maybe?), as it encourages each player to play their appropriate role, in support of the other classes.

With appropriate and desirable rewards, it will further encourage people to focus their efforts on a class they play well, help them to continue to be their best.

 

I would also suggest rewards/missions based on other metrics, even more specific, such as a cruiser defending a friendly destroyer, a BB that doesn't stay on the map edge, that sort of thing, but I doubt that something like that can be done in the current state of the game. I'd encourage metrics like that to be made available, so you can try a stick-and-carrot approach: reward people for playing their role, supporting their team, giving people who don't benefit their team as much fewer rewards, something like that.

Just playing around with concepts:

 

Weekly nation specific grind type missions in addition to existing weekly missions. Something like this:

 

USN/IJN/RN/VMF....

Stage 1:

         Win 10 Battles

         Earn 10K base experience

         Restriction:  T IV ship of that nation

         Prize 5 X Consumable

Stage 2:

         Win 10 Battles

         Earn 15K base experience

         Restriction: T V ship of that nation

         Prize 10 X good basic flag 

Stage 3:

         Win 10 Battles

         Earn 20K base experience

         Restriction: T VI ship of that nation

         Prize 10 X Special flag (Dragon etc)

Stage 4:

         Win 10 Battles

         Earn 25K base experience

         Restriction: T VII ship of that nation

        Prize 5 X Special Camo

Stage 5:

         Win 10 Battles

         Earn 30K base experience

         Restriction: T VIII ship of that nation

         Prize 1 X Supercontainer

 

Grand prize for the completion: a premium T II - T III ship of that nation (Tachibana, Smith, Diana, Campbeltown, ....).

In addition, link each week to a special offer (30%) on higher tier premium ships of that nation and discounts on normal tech tree ships...

Mission ideas: stop killing the game. 

I stopped playing because of the fire vs water campaign. The only thing that interested me would have been the Kamikaze. 

Then people mathed out how much wins & gametime that would take to get, vs the event duration. 

 

Until I get a a valid campaign/system to get a Kamikaze(/clone/sister ) ship, I'm not coming back to play; that was the last straw in a series of crap EU shitty player shaftings. 

And yes, the weekly missions did their part to contribute. 

I think a look at ranked gives a good look at relative player size, wasn't last season something like 8.000 US players in ranked, and 27k in EU? 

You're really gonna continue shafting the biggest server? 

 

-------------------------------------------- 

 

Here are absolute, non-negotiable 'NO-GO' 's for these weekly missions: 

* the 'tiered' system: some-one can complete 'part 4', but it won't count because he's at 'part 2'. Extremely frustrating if it is one of the more 'unicorn' requirements. 

* hostile nation specific requirements. IMO, it is perfectly valid to hold a 'British ships' week; weekly missions for British ships. (just have to vary things, obviously!) What is absolutely not fine: 'deal X damage/sink Y British (insert any nation) ships. Likewise, I'd give strong preference to missions 'use a DD' rather than 'sink the enemy DD'. Any missions that encourage poor tactical gameplay are crap.   

* "in a single battle". NO. (for the most part) 

* strong dislike: deal X flooding damage. GRAAAHHH. 

 

 

Reworked mission examples: 

over the week: (DD week)   

A) Silent hunter, hidden fisher.  deal X ship-based torpedo+flooding damage. 

B) Counter-strike: deal 300% damage to enemy DD's (as opposed to sinking; this allows it to work reasonably well for all tiers etc). 

C) Earn X base XP.  

D) Insert main battery requirement. Deal Y% fire and direct damage? 

E) Take Z enemy cap points/spawns. Gather XY XP capping & contesting spawns? 

F) 'spotting' contribution. 

 

Mission payout: each part, A-F is running at the same time this week, each gives a small reward (flags most likely). As you complete 2, (any 2), you get the reward for 2. And so on. 

 

 

 

-----------------------------------------  

 

IF you want to keep things like 'get 5 kills in a match', I also have an approach to make that semi-grindable: Alternative completion options: 

Get 5 kills in a match.

OR: in 2 matches, get 4 kills each, 

OR, in 4 matches, get 3 kills each,

OR, in 8 matches, get 2 kills each.

Getting 4 kills in a match would also count as a '2-kill' and '3-kill' match.

Ok... My first draft for a mission chain. It may look a bit confusing because the names are simply "Mission 1, 2..." but I hope I can provide a clear presentation with the use of the forum formatting. Note that there are some mission linked together with or and others are linked with and. Also, I tried to give them some sort of historical flavour but obviously it is completely made up.

 

 

Operation: Brian-Spartacus  (9th Aug 2017 - 16th Aug 2017)

With this operation the famous People's Front of Europe overcame the European People's Front and managed to finally freed the prisoners on the battleship Crucifixion near Ostia.

Some remarks: I have picked up the reward types currently used for the weekly missions (1st step small amount of Credits, 2nd some consumables/flags, 3rd flags/consumables/camouflages, 4th 1M Credits, 5th step bigger reward+finial reward). Also I picked up the more recent development to include the container system here and there, which provides a bit individual variation while not being totally crazy random. Finally: all of the individual steps can be completed parallel instead of stepwise. The last two parts are the only gated parts with a) excluding Co-Op and Operations (because there are no achievements either) and b) tier VI instead of tier IV.

 

Once again, this may look a bit confusing but this is only because the names are not perfect and I assumed this structure is necessary if the missions work gated (or as a "tree").

[Juanx]

You mean you want more ignorable feedback, and if anything good pops up, save some dev money?

Nah, most of us have jobs, maybe an intern would do a better job than you WG guys do...

[Silentraz]

My idea:

-First missions should be not a problem. Last - near impossible. Needed a lot of luck and skill. No CV is needed (playing, destroying, removing planes).

No ranked and coop. Random battles only.

 

Time: 28 days

There will be 25 missions. Player will unlock four lowest possible numbers.

[AlwaysBadLuckWithTeams]

As a general thought, maybe you can make the missions more flexible. I was thinking of a "Kraken light": in 2 consecutive matches, get at least 5 kills combined. (But please, keep it civil and don't overdo it. ;-) )

 

Or perhaps you could cater the missions to the individual skill level. Let's say you have mission A1 "5 ship torp hits in one battle" for 10 signals, and mission A2 "10 ship torp hits in one battle" for 15 signals. People can now pick the quest they feel up to in advance, but they can only finish the mission they did pick, and the alternative is gone once the chosen one is completed.
