Captains! Due to a mistake Halland’s torpedo damage was increased from 10700 to 11467. It will not have a significant effect on the ship’s performance and will be brought to the initial value of 10700 in the upcoming update 0.11.7. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Thank you!

There are players whom have played for 7+ years. Some players have billions of Credits.

As to the "Pay to Win" stuff, early access does not translate into winning. It's just early access to new content. All of the ships in our game win and lose.

As you keep the Free XP you earn, there is no "loss of value". This combat mission is not an exchange of goods.

Finishing the intro mission unlocks the others which provide additional value while you go about playing the game normally.

We do have challenge missions in our game. They are challenging by design.

The 1830 is likely a reference to a historical easter egg related to the chain, but we consult internal data when creating Combat Missions. 1830 Free XP will be unlikely enough that it's a challenge, but not an insurmountable one. Certainly not over the several days the mission is available.

The Combat Mission includes Scenarios. That is a non-PvP way that can easily earn 1k+ XP at Tier 6. PvP matches will have an easier time reaching that bar as well. In both those situations the metric is challenging, but doable. For folks with Premium Time, it's VERY doable.

The premise of this thread is that this mission is uncomfortable for Co-Op and only Co-Op. So, I did the math to see if it is in a non-viable path. Math shows it is Co-Op Compatible. I have demonstrated how it is doable in the game mode of choice for a player through use of readily available Bon...

With Premium, 444 Bad Ask isn't a bad ask. 750 is doable, although certainly not a run-of-the-mill game.

-

Note, I mentioned above that first match of the day earns +500 Free XP that is added as a flat amount.

Assuming +500 XP Flat Gain:

Non-Premium Time

+600% Free XP Bonus (Tier 2)

1830 - 500 = 1330 = .7x

x = 1330/.7 = 1,900 Base XP -- Not Co-Op Compatible


2400% Free XP Bonus (Tier 3)

1830 - 500 = 1330 = 2.5x

x = 1330/2.5 = 532 Base XP -- Co-Op Compatible

Premium Time

+600% Fr...

Second Update:

Just finished by First Daily and received +500 Free XP that was included in the match total:


So, if this Combat Mission is attempted on the First Match of the Day, then you would need to earn 1,330 Free XP from your Base XP/Bonuses. This is a significant decrease in the requirement and makes it much more Co-Op friendly if you'd like to use that.

As you can see by your start date, your account is not new:

-

I was given 3 Days of Premium after a few Battles, an additional 7 after many battles, and recieved some from the Supercontainer that was given when I unlocked Containers (if I recall correctly).

I am holding onto the 7 Tactical containers as they each give 1 Day of Premium Time for when the current Premium runs out. Also, I have advanced to the final stage in the first Campaign which gives 7 more days when I choose to finish the mission and redeem it. Also, 2 more days of Premium from 5 starring 2 Scenarios (Defense at Naval Station Newport and Aegis).

Free XP formula is 10% of Base XP.

Without Premium:

[Free XP nPrem] = [B + 1](.1 x Base XP)

B stands for Bonuses

With Premium

[Free XP Prem] = 1.65[Free XP nPrem]

-

To achieve 1830 Free XP using only an Expendable Free XP Bonus in a single run, you would need:

Non-Premium Time

+600% Free XP Bonus (Tier 2)

1830 = .7x

x = 1830/.7 = 2,614 Base XP -- Not Co-Op Compatible (Note: Difficult)


2400% Free XP Bonus (Tier 3)

1830 = 2.5x

x = 1830/2.5 = 732 Base XP -- Co-Op Compatible (Note: Difficult)

Premium Time

+600% Free XP Bonuses (Tier 2)

1830/1.65 = 1109 = .7x

Lexington has slow strike planes, but her generally applicable kit allows her a lot of possibilities.

Hey guys,
I don't want to completely derail the OP's topic about how to play RN Battlecruisers, but I will try and explain a bit here.

I hear you on this - but please don't think I don't have a player's perspective just because I work for WG. I have 15k battles ranging from Coop to King of the Sea Round of 16 and many seasons of Hurricane level Clan Battles. I still play about 100 games every 21 days, so I am not removed from the player experience

There are actually a variety of methods we can use to investigate whether or not games are, on average, more lopsided than before.
We can look at average XP per battle, per tier; average number of ships destroyed per game on each side; average XP per game on the losing side vs winning; average length of battles.... we can even look at all of them together.

It's an excellent place to start. The most common criticism of the MM that I hear...

The Coal offering was removed as the 33k Steel converts to 330,000 Coal in value, so the higher value option was left in.

This amount will not be altered by Clan Bonuses. It is a direct "choice-of-compensation" that the player picks.

Ok, fair enough - you take issue with feeling that too many games are lopsided in terms of player skill.

This has been a thing for quite a while, but the data that we have about average battle length shows that this really isn't the case.

We're not quite sure why people feel like games are more lopsided these days, but this is not shown when we zoom out and look at thousands of games played over time.

Again - I don't know what you mean by "the matchmaker doesn't work".

It clearly works, because matches are made thousands of times a day.

You'll have to be more specific if you feel there is a problem with the match-maker.
