If the task is too hard, remember you can always redo tasks to get pins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4,679 [O_O] desmo_2 Members 7,991 posts 23,082 battles Report post #16 Posted August 14, 2017 I can't blame the OP for reading comprehension on this one. Sure, there is a cruiser icon, but the mission says "Complete the task in Random battles with Tier IX-X ships." Typically the tasks state in the text if there is a class restriction, as well. The mission description really needs that simple change for clarity. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

31 [-WTP-] Acaibaero Members 69 posts 7,925 battles Report post #19 Posted August 14, 2017 They are not consistent in their descriptions. Sometimes they say cruiser, other times they show a picture of a cruiser. Kind of like the descriptions used for modules. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
822 Wowzery Members 4,637 posts Report post #20 Posted August 14, 2017 The text does need to be changed in that one as its too easy to make this mistake. I did it as well, until I looked closer and saw the cruiser icon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3,198 [WOLF5] AJTP89 Supertester 5,240 posts 4,603 battles Report post #21 Posted August 14, 2017 I'm sorry, that's unclear. If you read the text, it leads one to assume that and T9 and 10 ships are OK for the task. Yes, if you look down, and decipher the symbols, along with the grayed out bit, it's clear that cruisers are meant. But is it that hard to switch "cruisers" for "ships?" Would be much clearer. That said, 1.5mil potential damage in a BB isn't that much, so the task would seem a bit easy unless it was a CA. But still, fix the text. In this case, if you read, you make the wrong assumption. You need to be familiar with WG logic to actually get the true idea. And I know that most of use aren't fluent in that language. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
273 [AAYC] Siegewolf Beta Testers 791 posts 18,725 battles Report post #22 Posted August 14, 2017 Did the same thing last night in the last part of the British Battleship mission.

1,835 CylonRed Members 7,004 posts 15,432 battles Report post #24 Posted August 15, 2017 I had to look at it long as well - when the of the plates state what ship to play and this one or 2 have an icon. The player then look for the one item to find out what ship to play - easy to miss the icon then. Poor design of the missions imho as a QA guy. It should be consistent on the screens - one or the other bu not both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
