Is Graf Spee mission impossible?

[Finnkax]

Is Graf Spee mission impossible? Where I can see details of those tasks?

 

For example - "Earn XX points with CV tier 6 or higher" is plain impossible for me. I do not have any tier 5 CV:s. 

Or - "play oine batle with yier X ship."- 

 

Where I can see mission details?

[Compassghost]

You can click on them. All of them just require XP.

just checked.

Hopely no changes.

Go on the campaign screen, click the first set of missions and hold your cursor over a mission.

Only thing I see as a possible issue is nine days to earn 52K XP. Thank goodness that's not FREE XP. Phew. 

But at the worst play level... say 800xp per battle... that's 65 battles required. Which is 7.2 battles per day for nine days.

Or, just about 2 1/2 hours of battle time per day for nine days. 

 

Has anyone but me noticed the days are kinda messed up on the missions? 

• First mission can be completed AFTER 12.28.2016
• Second mission BEGINS 12.27.2016 can be completed AFTER 1.2.2017
• Third mission BEGINS 1.1.2017 can be completed AFTER 1.9.2017
• Fourth mission BEGINS 1.8.2017 can be completed BEFORE 1.18.17

 

You cannot start the third mission on 1.1.2017 because you cannot complete the prior mission until 1.2.2017.

You cannot start the fourth mission on 1.8.2017 because you cannot complete the prior (third) mission until 1.9.2017.

 

And why the mission for today does not unlock until this evening? Kinda dumb actually - as a lot of us play mornings. 

 

See what they did there?

The good news is that you can work on Task 1 (32K XP w/ multipliers) & Task 2 (20K base XP) simultaneously, the bad news is that you will need to complete one of those tasks twice (which for me will be the 32K XP (which is slightly less than it requires to get 3 containers in one day, so I hope to complete this in a weekend at most).

well you need 3 pins so it will prob be 64k normal xp and 20k base xp

So can we re-do one of the first task missions since we need three pins to unlock the second task? 

[SeaRaptor]

From the wiki page for campaigns:

 

"Any individual task is repeatable, and players earn pins each time it's completed."

You should see if you can do them now.  I was able to complete both tasks and already have the 3 pins needed for the Final Task (which doesn't unlock for me until 1900hrs EST it seems)  but you should be able to complete the 3 pins needed before hand.  Might save you some time anyway.

[SluggerJackson]

I finished the three pins for Task 1 the weekend it came out.  Not that difficult.  Especially the XP with modifiers.  So many Camos, and Flags to boost your XP earnings.  These missions are so easy they should have just given us the ship for Christmas.  The most irritating part is that I have to wait a week to complete the task.  Plus they take up a campaign slot, and I'm working on the tier 8 campaign right now.  I'll have to make sure I have a couple of extra slots ready.

They set it up this way to get you to buy the Graf Spee. The missions to win the GS only give you, at best, 9 days to play for the special camo (Convoy Mission). Those missions require exceedingly larger amounts of XP for each stage. Most people who want the camo - and other ships with special camo - will likely purchase the GS on the 2nd when it is cheapest. Then play the Convoy mission for all those goodies.

Absolutely...I think I did Mission 3 Task 3 twice and Mission 3 Task 7 3 times

[Ghostdog1355]

I noticed the dates kind of looked messed up also.

I mainly want the Graf Spee and will then take whatever I can earn from the Convoy campaign as gravy on top of my mashed potatoes 

[Ghostdog1355]

I also don't see where any of the tasks require a CV just getting larger amounts of XP.

Not really, I seen it and was confused too, today when it wasn't available,  But it is available on the 27th, (today) at 7pm EST, so you still can complete it in 1 day.

Absolutely - you can complete each Graf Spee mission in probably one day. But you have to wait a week for the next mission to open. All the while the convoy mission continues to run and you can't participate due to the lock-step structure of the Graf Spee mission. The only way to participate in the convoy mission at the start is to buy the Graf Spee. I intend to do like Captain_Dilbert - win the Graf Spee and get what I can from the convoy mission after that.

Exactly, with 9/10 days depending on when you get the final done,  It will be tight for a lot of people. but if you are on vacation and have no life like me.. I can get both missions done and enjoy another great Freebie.     

 

Love WG or hate them,  they put out a ton of freebies for everyone to get.

[SandraSmiles]

You can click on them. All of them just require XP.

 

Do I keep running the missions over and over till the Dec28th start date?  My screen says I have 3/3 pins..

so would repeating the missions help any?

No.  Once you have earned three pins on Mission 1, you need to wait until 12/28 then complete the FInal Task on Mission 1, this will then unlock Mission 2....lather, rinse, repeat...

Thx....I guess it must be a server clock thing- got up early am today and I can't unlock the 3rd mission.

All Graf Spee missions unlock at 16:01 PST.  Just like the first one.
