The lure of 'not being uptiered' is massive. This is gonna end up being what they should've originally kept for TX, in order to induce premium time/premium ship purchases lower in the tiers to feed supership play. They may not even have to buff the superships much beyond what they are if they're that popular already. Edited April 20, 2022 by MnemonScarlet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

110 DukeTestudo Beta Testers 168 posts 7,242 battles Report post #13 Posted April 20, 2022 Somebody somewhere underestimated how many people would want to start playing these things - they balanced against the steady state as opposed to initial launch rush, and the initial launch rush was so distorting they needed to do something. The "I wanna be Top Tier" problem is always a problem when you have tiers and you have matches where your hero/tank/ship/plane crosses tiers -- because people always forget, everybody can't be top tier. In order to be top tier, somebody else has to be bottom tier. But this goes back to the whole "what's the best way to get a matchmaker that's fair, fast, interesting and fun" question. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes? xp is meaningless, except as it relates to dailies and tasks, because it can’t go anywhere without doubloons to convert it. My understanding was that credits, or the draining thereof, were supposed to be the controlling factor that kept superships from swarming. Ask WG how that’s working out? Especially since they’re doing a hot patch. SBBs get more credits? I’m more surprised that they didn’t increase service costs and slash earnings across the board; which is what they need to do if the numbers of superships is so concerning.

846 [GGWP] Merc85 Beta Testers 2,414 posts 38,131 battles Report post #16 Posted April 20, 2022 Maybe waiting until the "overuse" of superships by players who just wanted to complete the 15k xp mission for a supercontainer might have been a better way to see what the real economy of these ships would be. Why jump the gun? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If “the sheep were not being drained fast enough” then this dev blog does a remarkably poor job of addressing that. Credit earnings were not reduced, so “the sheep” will continue to be drained at the same rate as before. The comment I was responding to, and your credulous agreement with it, are factless conspiracy nonsense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3 [-SSA-] DevilDoggGamer Beta Testers 23 posts 3,636 battles Report post #19 Posted April 20, 2022 Isn't this a little premature?? The statistics may be skewed by human behavior. Of course people want to try the new "Hero" class super ships, myself included. However without the white camo bonuses, I actually lost like 9000 silver in a 100k damage victory. So I already feel like I have to play premium ships to balance the drain from running super ships. Why don't you limit SS by class. Only allow one of each per team or something instead of an economy nerf. This change is bad for perception of a WG that is already slammed for RNG containers. BTW I spend thousands on this game so I am not one of those btw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Annapolis sunk close to half the red team, likely racked up an insane damage number and perhaps even some capture/assist ribbons to get a BXP number that high. As for the Co-Op sentence, I hardly call 3 or so examples of >1k BXP in the last couple weeks (one of which was in a Smolensk, not even a supership) "a lot".

Sure, getting 5 kills will lead to a high-placing game. There's nothing wrong with being first. The Base XP looks about 20-30%ish too high, though. Our changes are addressing that and making the Base XP calculations more in line with the rest of how our game does that math. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
