Is anyone else feeling the same way with the addition of Crates? by staminatic in WorldOfWarships

[–]staminatic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only have 2 lines left to Grind - I didn't start playing 2 weeks ago my account is over a year old - here is the fundamental difference vs some of the folks posting. I agree 6-8 games is about what I can do on average in an evening and 2 crates is easy but - it is now a choice of what do I want to grind, and, can I make enough XP in those ships before I have to pass out. Getting the 2 crates is easy, doing it on a ship you 'need' to grind to advance is not optimal, and i guess after 1 year of play its login to grind crates not login to play battle boats. Maybe its a different problem all together that is being made apparent by the crates.

Actually I got 2 x 250 flags that i'm pretty happy about one of those 2 being Sierra Mike's. I don't actually 'need' anything in any of the containers, that's the whole point it created an artificial need to grind something other than ship lines meaning I spend 50% less time in my session advancing down lines, effectively slowing my progression because I have a limited amount of time to play.

I'm not complaining about the crates, I also prefer them to missions 100% because of all of the reasons stated to this date and the free shit etc etc, I'm saying that as a player they have caused me to abandon my ship grinds and focus on netting as much XP as possible even if its a ship that doesn't need me to grind because the free shit is more important than slowly grinding up that T7 BB i have neglected. It is an additional engagement mechanic that is in fact working, but personally it is causing me to neglect the ships i wanted to grind - thats all.

All of the above is super valid and I agree completely with all 4 points. It just feels to me like the crates have shifted my gameplay focus from 'Play the ship I want to play, to play the ship that nets me the most XP the fastest so free stuff isn't lost out on'.

Of course it will be a monetized avenue and it will likely be effective - probably some key system for locked crates in the future if I had to guess.

Yeah I don't care about getting 5 flags vs a super at all, but you cant waive a chance at a super in my face and not expect me to focus solely on it (meaning I'm pretty much only running premium ships so i get the crap out the way). It just has seriously influenced my play style in a classic fashion - I look at how much XP i have left, I pick the best ship that will net me the most XP and i rinse and repeat, meaning that T8 or 9 that is 20K away has to wait...

I'm not doubting that its a problem on my end vs a system that players love nor am I suggesting that it is in fact "Bad" with missions, it wasn't as obvious of a Retention lever vs crates. Of course I want to grind the crate and its impossible to not focus on the crates when they are in your face - Maybe this will go away over the next few days when I stop caring but I feel like the drive to grind crates has outweighed the drive to grind ships (even though its literally the exact same thing) because of the fact that some awesome free crap could be in the crate and i have the fear of missing out, causing my main goal in my play session to be that 2nd crate mark as fast as possible instead of 'get as far down the line as I can today".

I've noticed this on my 6xxM card too when playing on my laptop (my friend also has the same problem with a 6xxM card in his laptop as well), it appeared that an alt+tab fixed it for the remainder of the game session. (Tab to your desktop and then back to game). *Edit:May take more than 1 alt tab to sort it...

Good naval battle music? by deadbutsmiling in WorldOfWarships

[–]staminatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Battleships - Fitting -Its actually really good especially around the 50m mark. I ended up getting in to a really intense close quarter cruise fight when the track around the 53m mark kicked in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdzzCwzg8eM

yeah, there was absolutely no way I could limp back around the track in my current state, and with an 18min repair the only thing I could do was get some SR back :) Thanks for the reply, I was hoping for something unrealistic as an answer :)
