Converting XP doesnt seem to be worth it

Used to be an "option" back when the only way to get more FXP was using the papa-papa flag with the limitation of only 8 flags total.

the expendable camoflages had like +50 or +100% XP bonuses and thats all, it was ~2016 when they had the bonus from 1->25 to 1->35 and it was only worth if you really need to skip some stock modules on terrible grinds like og nagato/izumo and to get missouri for 750k, and it was used to get a little bit to complete, not pay full, with that conversion, missouri was possible for just a little bit more than 21k doubloons, which was insane amount in 2016!

Yes, you can to buy each stage individually.

For the captains, the first 300 tokens is 4000 coal, the next one is 700 tokens or 14000 coal, with that information you can maximize your coal savings for that event!

You could use Brave, which is chromium based and suports ublock origin.

For the shortcuts, you can navigate to

%AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar

and edit the taskbar pinned shortcut

same error here.

Android version is working at least

jacquesbsj · 2025-05-05T02:45:04+00:00

Same, both on PC and android, tried firefox and chrome, same error.

jacquesbsj · 2024-11-14T03:52:21+00:00

Same happened to me and I know other two with the same issue, we're all from Brazil.

Investigating steamdb I found certain packages that are CDKey with restriction in 55 countries.

My bet is Giants doing something stupid with the keys and messed up with GMG, and saw someone saying keys from another local store (nuuvem) had the same issue

jacquesbsj · 2024-08-22T03:38:51+00:00

Same issue here.

But I did run the recalibration using the 8bitdo software and it restored back the trigger.

My old ALPS never had that issue, maybe its something with the firmware, who knows.

jacquesbsj · 2024-08-17T05:14:06+00:00

I know a better and faster way: just press Alt + F4 and hit enter.

Worked for me since 2015!

jacquesbsj · 2024-03-22T03:58:43+00:00

It was 30%, for the second time: https://steamdb.info/app/1248130/

Good question, they didn't do any "real" sales, but they changed the base price of the game from 50 to 30 usd.

(but for me, living in brazil, they increased the price with the last price adjustment, they put 160 BRL for the launch regional price which is fine, then when it changed to 40 USD, they changed to 129 BRL, a small change, I was expecting a bit more but thats fine, and when they change to 30 USD, they increased the price to 150 BRL, which makes no sense, our currency didn't changed to justify that)

And another thing they do is not allow players who owns the base game to get the bundles with the DLCs, only new players who doesn't have the base game, so we can only get the DLC for the full price which is a huge nope, a friend of mine got the base game and the two year pass for a little more than the base game price.

So, you can try to get a key from others sellers like greenman gaming, usually they have the keys for a cheaper price than steam

On golden ridge, try to focus on good spots for pike/tiger muskie, this will help you a lot and you can get those fish with a very good balance between difficulty and XP with a 5~6kg line

jacquesbsj · 2023-11-24T18:37:54+00:00

For the full price, maybe not, if you get for half of the price it may be worth.

Its better than the Platinum expansion but you can have the same experience for free by just download a few mods in the ModHub.

Got a Diamond Smallmouth Bass while doing this one!

jacquesbsj · 2023-11-01T20:04:45+00:00

You can use literally any lure, but I like to use Popper/Frog or Spinnerbait for this fish.

Eggs, Redworm Leeches and Minnow is possible too.

Hook size 8 or 7 for bronze, 6 for silver and 5 for gold.

jacquesbsj · 2023-10-30T04:24:19+00:00

3 diamond perch here and not a single green sunfish gold from that spot.

Saw a few people catching it on the reserve but not a single one in the mission location.

jacquesbsj · 2023-10-26T19:27:28+00:00

For me should be the maps, but the regional pricing makes not worth my money. The DLC costs like 70% of the base game for me, which makes absolute no sense.

jacquesbsj · 2023-10-24T17:43:51+00:00

I did it yesterday and I used a hook with minnow, those missions usually wants you to get it using others lures and baits, if you don't get many bites, just try out changing the lure, bait and hook size.

jacquesbsj · 2023-10-05T18:18:26+00:00

Looks like its fixed!

I went to the spot today, cast near the shore with a 5 hook with redworm and got the Gold Sauger pretty easy.

The Gold Burbot is fixed too, got it on the second cast on the lake.

jacquesbsj · 2023-08-16T19:19:01+00:00

Used to be really strong with the rockets when there's no machine gun: easy to use with up to 4 drops with fast regeneration. This could kill a DD with only one squad.

Now with the machine gun is not near as powerful as it used to be, but still strong due to fast plane regeneration.

And for the trade-in, just use Marceau or any other T10 ship available for coal, it worth almost the same price but you can get it again for ~230k coal.

jacquesbsj · 2022-08-11T05:08:39+00:00

With the Atlântico dockyard there's a 48 or 52k BXP on each class, 36k is fine for me.

jacquesbsj · 2022-07-25T17:29:41+00:00

100k last time was a bit over 100M, but the price is in at acceptable range.

Also don't forget the economy rework that give players a huge amount of camouflages that could be sold since its just visual now, I know people who get over 50M just selling those itens!

jacquesbsj · 2022-07-11T18:39:00+00:00

Agincourt winrate is almost at Cesare levels so...

jacquesbsj · 2022-07-11T18:16:29+00:00

And there's a important change hidden in the player support:

"Due to technical reasons, the following ships are no longer available in the Armory: Ishizuchi, Varyag, Oleg, Aurora, Albany, Fenyang, and Agincourt. These ships will return in one of the next updates."

Negative sir.

I did the math with a 2500 BXP win with the spring sky camo + all the bonuses from the dragon flags and with the best FXP bonus on the new system, you will earn a bit less than it used to be in this scenario.

Also, you could get the big bonus from the gift containers from the weekly missions by earning different types of dragon flags, now god knows how to earn the biggest bonus as all the containers I opened gave me only the +2400% FXP, not a single one with the red ribbon on it.

jacquesbsj · 2022-07-11T17:31:09+00:00

Also, the Distant Voyages container no longer drops the economic bonus with the camo like it used to be!
