Ship Swap

[Soloun]

Is there anyway to swap the Musashi for the Krond? 

I prefer cruisers but allowed myself to be convinced the BB would be a better buy as it will be ages before they get rid of these ships....

Anyway I have 250k Free XP and climbing but won't get enough in time to buy the Krond so is there a way to swap them? 

Of the 2 I'd prefer to play the cruiser, I played one game in the Musashi and thought, yea that's right its a BB hehe. 

Anyways just a thought, it might make this easier to accept is all :) Or has their removal been revoked?

Nope

Never been able to exchange ship

Trying to send a request to WG? That's probably my first suggestion. I don't think you have much luck for that, because that isn't a doubloon ship.

 

A cruiser main buying a free xp BB? That's blasphemy

WG will reject your ticket and tell you to "be careful in the future"

They won't change fxp ship purchases. Normally.

you might have to bite the bullet and spend real money to convert your XP from other ships in your fleet to make up the difference of the free xp that you don't have....

It is a bit annoying, these ships have been available for, less than a year? And there are two of them available at once. How long was Missouri available for?

If WG is going to keep removing free xp ships for being “popular” they should just make them available for a set period, stated from the start. Like a year. Otherwise there are a lot of players like you who thought they had more time, and would have made a different choice had they known. To remove these ships because they are too popular suggests WG should not have released them in their current form, for the free xp method, in the first place.

That's a lie. By my estimation Missouri was available for over a year, from between patch 0.5.15 to before 0.7.2.1 (Dec 2016 to Jan 2018). Musashi's sale is also about a year (0.7.0 to before 0.8.0 - Jan 2018 to Jan 2019). They periodically switch free xp ships and said that they do it because some ships are "too popular". Only Musashi is "too popular" (T9 Yamato, go figure), Kronstadt isn't any popular than Neptune or Seattle or any other T9 cruisers.

I think Arsenal ships will be permanent and any and all ships that are available for free xp will be switched out periodically. Nelson is somewhat of an exception because she doesn't have a replacement (rebuilt West Virginia?), and 375k free xp isn't exactly a very big amount to hoard.

Kron is more like a battleship than a cruiser, with its high health pool and lack of torps.

Thanks for the replies, I haven't asked WGing as I figure they will say no and I don't have a huge issue with that, just a pity about them being removed.

I get that for Musashi, I don't think I had a game tonight without "some" in the lists, but Krond, naa saw 1 in all the games I played, it's not popular in my experience, I don't have WGing numbers though.

I figure it is a bit of a lame attempt to remove Musashi and say no its not just that we're removing Krond as well, honest... :) We didn't make a mistake with Musashi.. /em nods head while saying no :)

What’s a lie? I don’t think I’ve stated anything that wasn’t ‘my own opinion’, or ever said that it was truth or fact.

A lie by WG, not from you.
