The Escort ship is the Ring and the Two towers is Mordor. Last, the boss ship is the Dark Lord himself. Our team is the fellowship of the Ring, if you know what I mean 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Extremely annoying, especially when I'm in the BB, trying to get Catapult. Other than that, it's pretty fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

3,862 RedSeaBear Members 5,455 posts 21,246 battles Report post #8 Posted October 26, 2016 I wasted an hour and 6 matches on this Bloody Escort Mission. Even did 270k damage on the last battle. But no success all defeats. Ships look cool, the Halloween port is spooky but this event...well I'm not impressed. Maybe if we could win with out, AFK ships, Team Kills, ships getting lost and people staying in the circle it would be fun. Sinksalot fleet rating for this event 2.5 stars out of 5. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the quality will improve as people get familiar with the event. ....i think its harder than some people expected after a couple days peeps will stop playing, Im guessing and the Team Work might improve. STAY IN THE CIRCLE! BB's and cruises can stay close to the Transylvania pretty easy while the DD's will end up going in and out as they need to kerp up a fair bit of speed, 3/4 throttle to have the maneuverability to avoid shots from the catapults and zombies.

1,343 [BKSHD] MidnightShamalan Members 2,274 posts 7,317 battles Report post #13 Posted October 26, 2016 what people don't seem to understand is that you get rewarded whether or not you win. do 100k damage and sink 2 ships. bam. profit. the only thing winning gives you is some extra free XP for the completed objectives. and that medal if you haven't got it yet.

478 Final_Spark Beta Testers 2,440 posts 8,653 battles Report post #24 Posted October 27, 2016 I was able to win it with a couple friends of mine. The only task we failed at was keeping the Trans moving at all times. That said, it did stop at an advantageous position before the last wave. Saying to stay in the circle at all times is decent beginning advice, but the event is challenging enough to require more. Catapults need to be AP'd and focused by the Jackals ASAP. Blades need to get forward and be the main source of damage. Igors AP cats and HE burninate everything else. The wave 2 back ships need to be ignored as you continue to stay in a loose formation for the last wave. If you go too fast your escort can get thinned out on the last wave with England's Zikasa in perfect position to ram the Trans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3,513 atPrick__ Members 16,315 posts 12,285 battles Report post #25 Posted October 27, 2016 Also... Noticed at the start. If you are in a DD smoke the Trans, directly from the start. That first catapult will target her and sometimes will knock a large bit off her HP, another option is with Cruisers and BBs to fire your guns to try and draw that first Catapults fire by being detected.... You have to tank for the Escort, at no point should it be taking hits for you, well maybe at the end if you have no other option, it makes a pretty good meatshield Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
