The highest tier I have is 6, but just from reading posts from the community, the high tier costs get pretty insane. Would missions be a way to, if not solve, perhaps alleviate this a little bit? For example, right now I have three missions, two of them with rewards of 50k and one 35k credits. That's all well and good, and not an insignificant amount, but what if these rewards scaled along with your tier level? This might be difficult to implement, but 135k to a tier 4 player means a lot more than to a tier 8+ player. If those missions offered in the neighborhood of 100-200k each instead of their current values, would that do anything to help the credit crunch at the higher tiers? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24 [AK] Rabbican Beta Testers 252 posts 14,896 battles Report post #2 Posted July 27, 2015 The economy is stifling at the higher tiers even with premium, often I'll unlock a new ship t7 and above everything gets very expensive and now credits are more limiting than experience. You have a choice grind or convert I am weak but my wallet is stongk. Would I like to see things cheaper sure, but I don't believe it is unreasonable this game needs to make some money so I can keep playing it. Premium time is worth it especially a months worth and the only premium ship I reccomend is the Murmansk (very fun and OP) it prints credits faster than a tier x CV.

119 kmanweiss Beta Testers 248 posts 381 battles Report post #3 Posted July 27, 2015 Just like WOT, as you go up, the grinds get longer and the vehicles and equipment get more expensive. Use premium time or premium vehicles to reduce the credit grind. Play some mid tier stuff that makes money win or lose and save up. The game is not designed to allow someone to easily skate up to T10. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
145 [KFL] darien22 Alpha Tester 1,307 posts 6,006 battles Report post #4 Posted July 27, 2015 The best solution for the credit cruch is to either buy a premium ship preferably tier or 7 or take a normal good tier 6 ship like the cleveland and use that to earn credits tbh. I think thats the way it was meant to work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

873 [SCCC] Peregrinas Members 3,181 posts 17,746 battles Report post #7 Posted July 27, 2015 Credit rewards do need to be increased. One of the mission rewards is 500 free xp, which is equal to 5-10 games worth of playing. But the 35k and 50k rewards are worth between 1/4 and 1/2 of a game. An increase to 350k and 500k should make them equivalent in terms of how many games they are worth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

189 [RENB2] Hualalai Beta Testers 941 posts 8,614 battles Report post #10 Posted July 27, 2015 I have about 8 million credits at the moment, really piling up while I wait for enough xp to get the next ship. I need xp, but credits are easy. It is a lot easier for me to get over 100k credit in a single match, than in WOT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I need xp, but credits are easy. It is a lot easier for me to get over 100k credit in a single match, than in WOT. I had 12 million credits before I bought my first T8 cruiser, had 10 million before I bought my second one. Now I am down to <68,000. 8 million credits evaporates very fast in T8+ when ships themselves cost more than 8 million and each upgrade is more than 1 million. @OP, I agree the credit reward for daily mission should have one more 0, currently they are between 20-50K credits(which don't even cover single game repair cost for T7+ships), should really be 200-500K credits.

123 [BOTES] Abrach Beta Testers 127 posts 14,155 battles Report post #13 Posted July 27, 2015 Except, this is not a problem for WG. Actually, it's working as intended. Makes people buy premium. And perhaps, even buy into the whole gold-to-credits conversion thing. I'm 30k away from Amagi, but took a break from playing Nagato to level up American cruisers up to the Omaha. Making some neat credits in the time. Since I don't intend to sell Nagato, I'm gonna need about 17 million or so to buy the ship, upgrades and equipment. Currently at 11 million. But then I'll also have to buy the Cleveland soon, and Hiryuu in the near future. I'm hoping the next weekend, corresponding with the WG anniversary, will put an end to the event embargo we currently have (due to the Murmansk thing). Would be nice to have at least T6's on discount. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
