>Only 3 hard mode attemps now
Is this going to be permanent?

Yep. CN's had it since forever.

They’re only had it for like what, two months?

It only really changes 2 things.
>less time and oil needing to be wasted doing your hard mode runs each day since the reason you're doing them in the first place, the blueprints, are rolled twice per clear, so you still get 6 a day
>Akashi's quest still requires 6 clears for each part of her questline so you need another 5 days to unlock her (doesn't matter if you already have her)
All in all a net gain. If the hard mode maps you're farming has something else good on them you can always just farm them on normal mode without any gay restrictions and requirements and at less oil cost.

Wow really? Feels like it's been forever since it was first implemented over there.

Attached: cola.png (267x224, 95K)

Did they adjust the amount of core data points we get per run as well?

No? We never had core data before this point.
CN might have gotten twice as much core data for quite some time until they implemented the same 3 runs a day limit, but that doesn't really matter anymore.

Yeah just noticed the double blueprint drop, which dispelled my fear of a more difficult BP grind. Guess I will use that oil for the x mines or the 10h expeditions.

With the event over, it's time for me to go back to the Mayamines. Give me some mining tunes.

>the devs are actually asking you to grind a daily mission just to raise the level cap so you can do more grinding to get your boats to higher levels so you can do more grinding on world 11+
I can't wait to get to raise the level cap of ONE of my boats once every week and a half.
I swear to god if levels aren't automatically capped down in PvP to 100 I will marry Graf and permanently keep her as my secretary just so we can hate everything together.

It's pretty obvious this was coming, seeing how they'd lock out a huge portion of people from clearing World 11+ if they didn't.
Hopefully 100>101 doesn't take as much EXP as 99>100 did.

I want Sheffield to shit in my mouth!

Don't have a level 98 lying around, just a 97 and 99, but since the required XP to go from 97 to 98 is ~50k and 99 to 100 is ~150k, unless they change the XP required for the current last 3 levels, it should go roughly [last lvl required XP x 1.25], so

Too generous. Jump from 98-99 to 99-100 is more than twice.
101 will need 300k, 102 600k, 103 1m, 104 2m, 105 5m.

I guess this is why we have the Auditorium now.
Up next: 1 extra skill level every 10 levels.

I'm afraid I'll have to wait, my friend. My duty as the Maya user cannot resume until I've gotten some oil back as I had legitimately ran myself to 0 farming some final coins last night.

My wife, E-chan, a cute.

This will make AL unironically like all other mobage
Fuck I hope this isn't happening

Just enjoy it while it lasts user. The game will go to shit once they start adding guild content.

Ignore and report the literal shitposters. Don't let them force another meme upon this general.

I think they've learned their lesson after they've made QE. They've only been releasing weaker versions of her skill like Graf and Mikasa.

I would care if PvP had some more significant meaning in the game other than getting points. It doesn't.

Power creep happens in any online game regardless of what platform it's on. It's a simple way to keep players actively chasing after a carrot on a stick.

>I think they've learned their lesson after they've made QE
Clearly they haven't since they KEEP FUCKING ADDING BRIT SHIPS THAT FUCK YOU UP IN SOME WAY

It's legit concern, though. Just because it's so common in other games doesn't mean you can't talk about it.

The only brit ships that really are a headache are those invulnerable skill botes, like Eldridge.

The scoring in PvP itself needs a fucking overhaul too, so it's less about being able to put autism everyone else and more.

Eldridge is burger though

I wasn't talking about the game.

How would the scoring system work? If they removed the additional autism points for waiting hours between each fight just to get an extra fucking point then everyone would be sitting at the same point total and ranking since all left is extremely easy to achieve.

PVP is shit anyways. All I care about is PVE.

Eldridge isn't a brit ship and you're completely missing the point
The bongs are going to remain the most meta relevant for a long time if they never nerf QE, never give other nations a relevant/competitive bonus, and keep giving them ships that fuck you up in some way
>Duke of York is not only a bong, she also outclasses Warspite
>Aurora doesn't outclass or replace anyone but she's a bong and has a skill that significantly worsens the evasion rate of almost every viable frontline boat
Not only are they not really throwing a bone to any other nation, they're outright making the bong meta even stronger by giving bongs more options
If anything that can compete ever does arise it will be an uphill battle for them even if they don't add any more bong boats for months

Yeah sure, now just wait for when they add some real incentives or game modes that require you play PvP in some form, i.e. guilds or what have you

I, for one, welcome our bong overlords.

>Yeah sure, now just wait for when they add some real incentives or game modes that require you play PvP in some form, i.e. guilds or what have you

Yeah keep doomposting. What's the next story?

>doomposting
I'm angry that bongs are the only viable thing in PvP, stop reading into things that aren't there

Yeah I fucked up with Eldridge. Aurora is just a one trick pony, her anti evasion skill is decent but her damage stats are pretty garbage. You will lose quite some damage for some anti-evasion.
Agreed about the DoY though, that is completely a upgrade to the already strong Warspite and may be the best BB in the game now.

I do agree with your overall point, the other factions really need some love in the synergy department.

>DoY outclass Warspite
Not when how her skill target the furthest bote.

And as I said PVP is a joke anyway. You can even just quit the match whenever you're about to lose without any repercussion.

>Aurora is just a one trick pony, her anti evasion skill is decent but her damage stats are pretty garbage.
Not entirely, yeah her gun efficiency is definitely not great but she also does deal 20% more damage against destroyers, and when Eldridge/Cygnet/Fortune/Javelin find their way into fleets all over that's pretty useful
Also her evasion skill doesn't decrease the evasion stat, it decreases evasion RATE, which is far better
tl;dr: if an enemy destroyer has let's say 65% evasion rate that means they will dodge 65% of all shots, and Aurora cuts that down to 45%, a pretty huge increase in damage they will take
>You will lose quite some damage for some anti-evasion.
It applies for everyone in your frontline so you lose a moderate amount of damage on her but your frontline's damage (and any potential shots your BBs may decide to aim at them) will more than compensate

Brilliant point, might as well just make a 6/6 bong team a literal autowin, no fight needed since the game mode is meant to be a fun little distraction and nothing more
Who cares if you don't care about PvP, a lot of people do and even if they don't bongs are ridiculously strong in both game modes and there's nothing being done about it

You're right about the PVP system being a joke, but there's nothing else to do once you finish everything PVE, it's an important aspect in the game

What the smoking user? Britbong backlines were never main problem. It's the evade all incoming attacks for X seconds DDs and Juneau.

Any tips for easy 9-4 grind?
