weekend specials spoiling us too much?

[ammattimies]

Now, I sure like to be spoiled with the amazing 2x exp for first win on weekends, instead of the already amazing 1,5x usually. But when we don't get even that on weekends, is there any point in playing against the weekend sailors? Is this a new even stronkerer business strategy or Igor just forget to post weekend special activation to server?

You have often as now another boost instead like Cpt XP or FreeXP.

Yeah, in my opinion some of those boosts are worth more than the +100%xp for the first win.

This weekend I'm grinding the Colorado and fXP. Hitting 3 citadels in a battle add +20% XP when playing a BB. With the right flags I get 5k fXP per battle. Also silver USN BBs are discounted for the weekend.

That's a lot of extra bang for my buck.

I like when it is variety, sometimes you want to grind a particular captain sometimes it is wide grinding on several ship, for me that has almost all lines to T10 I like the capt XP on weekends where I have time to play same ship (cpts)

I like when there's some special reward for putting up with weekend *edited*. You did not only state the obvious, but did nothing to answer the actual question. *edited*

You mean people like you, who come here to complain that they aren't getting enough free stuff for playing?

 

[wilkatis_LV]

Oh no! We get free stuff! Lets all now complain that it isn't enough free stuff!

One doesn't simply Latvia into thinkings! The point that eludes you is why bother with weekend *edited* when you can have the same benefits outside of weekends.

Why post when you choose not to understand the topic? Stop putting your [edited] logic into my mouth, please.

But it's all good; no need to play any weekend battles when you can get *edited* from the forum without ruining your stats! 

[dCK_Ad_Hominem]

Those hidden stats sure must be overwhelming. ....

Golden hyper-unicum at least.

 

Hey @ammattimies here's a tip, don't play on the weekends and don't come here to complain. You'll stay 100% *edited*

I'd tend to consider this more a complaint vs the weekend warriors and even though I agree that sometimes the missions are just not very tactially thought out (so to say), most are quite fun and not too hard with the reward being that mere mortals like me can get some nice camo's and free XP and other rewards.

 

The rewards are very useful and without them, I'd have less incentive to bother with these weekend warriors.

It's not just the performance (now I understand where all the complaining of BBs hugging borders comes from..and in a tier 8 battle at that) but to me it's more the verbal abuse of these players.

 

I think it requires a different approach as it's pretty much useless for a nimble average dude like me to try and push the rest into victory. But I haven't discovered this approach yet, and so I suffer the wrath of the weekend warriors.

It is generally that World of Warships players are second class customers compared to World of Tanks. How else to explain that WoWs doesn't get an Advent Calendar?

It's free stuff, take it or leave it, noone is forcing you

Do you know what the WoT calendar is? A way to pressure people into buying stuff with 24h limited time offers.

What do we get? There are two upcoming campaigns for Christmas which will offer free ingame stuff, with several premium camos handed out for playing the game.

I'd rather have that, than a limited time offer on a premium ship.

How very useful of you! Still avoiding what I really am asking here: why not give weekend rewards to compensate for increased *edited* of the weekend? Yet, you must keep posting...

You know the details of these campaigns with loads of "free" stuff? Don't you think WOT won't get a large Christmas campaign and missions?

Do you remember the Christmas convoy? I think many people do because they could finally spend more time with their families.

The Duke of York campaign will reward special "Arctic" premium skins to Scharnhorst and DoY owners. Whether Belfast owners will get anything is still open. Finishing tasks will provide the players with rewards, if similar to the Bismarck campaign it will be containers with special flags and parts of the DoY collection.

The New Years 2018 campaign will reward "Snow Clad" premium skins to several T6 ships like the New Mexico, La Galissonniere, Ernst Gaede, Queen Elizabeth and Fu Shun.

The Christmas Convoy fiasco won't happen again, because if you haven't noticed the events between EU, USA, and ASIA, have been unified. Everyone is getting the same events, same mission rewards, only the shop items still differ.

And if you don't believe me, you can ask @MrFingers.

Well let's see then. Probably they will "tweak" the campaigns just before release, typical WG style.

And the moment they do this someone will call them out. These 2 campaigns will go through the supertest soon, when they go live people will be looking extra hard to spot discrepancies.

Besides what reason would WG have now to change a campaign, on purpose, for one server? Just to screw with us? They ain't the Grinch.

With the stuff they are pulling out of their a*** sometimes, it kind of makes you think they are just screwing with us and are having a laugh at our expense. E.g. the Graf Zeppelin desaster is just mind boggling. Afaik that ship still hasn't been released in final state despite it having been on sale months ago.

Gamescon in germany, was it not? And they had the gall to first say it was the player base that could not make it work, and quickly after the ship was removed from the store and blanket refunds offered in hopes no one would take them and beta test the ship for "free".

The answer seems to be very simple to me. If for whatever reason you feel that it's not worth your while to play during any particular week-end - eg because there's not an enticing enough special on - then don't play.

 

Playing the game is not obligatory. Play only if you are happy to do so.

 

And this week-end you could always have played the new PVE mission if you didn't fancy PVP.

[159Hunter]

Free stuff = free stuff.

You want more free stuff and you're not getting it?

a) stop playing till more free stuff arrives

b) play anyways and deal with it, it is after all still free stuff

 

As for the "I need more free stuff to compensate for the weekend warriors", newsflash: you get those so called "weekend warriors" on normal weekdays as well.
