Capra76 Players 5,001 posts 7,787 battles Report post #1 Posted March 29, 2018 Can't say that I'm overly impressed, just some re-skinned T10 ships moved down to T7, rewards are pretty meh too. Also, this new skin for the forum, yuck!. Finally, April 1st is Sunday, why release it today? What does everyone else think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You need to win one game in co-op/random to get the ships, BB for the BB etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[THROW] wilkatis_LV [THROW] Players 5,061 posts 10,702 battles Report post #5 Posted March 29, 2018 It's fun because it's different, but I can see it becoming annoying after a short while. Aiming is generally off (aiming too low) for everyone as you also see the underwater part of the ship and it takes some getting used to, torps can be hard to spot and tell where they are going, islands are so dark they just blend with the background so unless you are steering your ship by the minimap you're bound to run into them even if you are looking in their direction.... Not even speaking of the difficulty to visually recognize range (everything seems closer than it is) or enemy speed (literally no reference points behind them, if you are locked on them - it's just a ship on a black background) Oh, yeah, the sound. SO LOUD. Like why can't it be normal loudness god damnit. And everything has a new special sound effect so you have literally no idea which beep means what. So... Fun for a short while, probably for the first few days. Well, at least in a division. But yeah, probably will quickly get annoying 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[NECRO] Deckeru_Maiku Beta Tester 6,636 posts 24,864 battles Report post #8 Posted March 29, 2018 The smaller teams are quite nice. Too bad, there's still too many BaBBies in those battles. But at least one get's in a battle instantly in a DD and with very low queue time in a cruiser. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[BYOB] Aragathor Players 7,047 posts 32,333 battles Report post #10 Posted March 29, 2018 (edited) Visually it's a EDIT fiesta, it's hard to spot torps, aiming is bad. The sound is all over the place. And don't start me on giving people T10 ships. Edited March 30, 2018 by Kampa1987 Vulgarism Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[TOXIC] Strapps [TOXIC] Players 1,135 posts 5,968 battles Report post #12 Posted March 29, 2018 It's a bit of fun, I'm grateful for the opportunity to grind up elite commander xp as I don't have any 19-point captains of my own and I'm enjoying playing the tier 10 ships of a few lines I'm currently part-way through grinding. Overall it gets a thumbs-up from me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mostly it's just the elite captain XP from the 19 pt captains, for every 2 games you win you also get 3 x space camoflage (usual +100% XP). 1 hour ago, Hades_warrior said: Maybe because this event have nothing to do with April Fools.

My guess is that they're linking this to their April Fools content, a bit like they did with halloween last year, bring back an old special mode and use that to lead in to something new.

Impossible to get any WR at all. Weird that, since the chance of a draw is practically nil, one team wins so I don't understand your comment. I've played 5 won 3. True there's a fair bit of potatoing, but since the cruisers and DD's are spacey versions of ships I already have it's fairly familiar and decent fun, at least to me.
