[2021] New Year Fleet - more lies from WG

They are unlocked and available to be completed now. Unlike a Dockyard event, or the Novorossiysk event which had a time-delay lock between stages.

A player mathed out that you would have 6 days after attaining the Repulse in a free-to-play manner to work your way through all the tasks. That's... not a small ask from what I'm seeing. It's doable, but it doesn't look very fun.

That being said, if a player purchased some stages so they could grind out the Marlborough, then the Repulse unlocks faster and the time allotted is around 15 days, which is a significant difference.

They are all available and not Time Locked in a strict sense.

They are locked behind the Repulse. While that's a timed access ship for a Free-to-Play style, it's available early for those who wish to spend Doubloons on the Dockyard.

The descriptions read accurately, but I can understand the annoyance on the "technicalities" of the situation

Thanks for the ping. Hope I helped clear things up~

I'm going to do the grind as a challenge over the weekend and see how long it takes me to do it on stream as a test.

Also, I realized the biggest thing I missed earlier... the Attachable Permacamo which is the highest value is the FIRST REWARD. For some reason, my mind processed as you got it after the entire chain was done. Nope. First reward :\

The totally changes the urgency of the grind as the other rewards are easily obtainable Tier 5 Tech Tree ships. Having permacamos for them is nice, but definitely drops those missions resolutely into the optional catagory. I wish I'd realized that on first read through.

You have seen what Time Gating looks like in the Dockyard missions that are on your screen but are locked.

These missions are not "locked" behind a time wall where a player MUST wait a week. They are able to finished as soon as someone plays the Repulse for 1,000 Base XP. While the Repulse IS the Time Gate for players that don't want to spend money, it must be restated that The missions are available to do whenever someone can meet their conditions.

This is a Free-to-Play game, and Delayed interaction/grind is not a new thing.

I can confirm it is indeed enough time!

I just did a Co-Op Mode Only stream to complete the entire mission chain. I used no special flags or camos.

It took 5 hours and 15 minutes.
