​🚢 Return of Missouri (Developer's Bulletin 0.10.7)

[S0und_Theif]

Return of Missouri

Update 0.10.7 features an event that's dedicated to the end of World War II. During the event, IX Missouri will become available for purchase in exchange for Doubloons.

 

History:

IX Missouri was our first experience in creating a Tier IX Premium ship, and during her adjustment, the ship received excessively high Credit profitability compared to other Premium Tier IX ships. The existence of a large number of ships with such high profitability negatively affects the game economy.

Furthermore, it was often not the ship’s specifications and gameplay, but her excessive profitability that became the determining factor for players deciding which ship to take into battle. This resulted in some Captains playing IX Missouri more often than they planned.

At the same time, IX Missouri is one of the most famous historical ships, and we would like more players to have the opportunity to add the ship to their collections.

 

For New Purchase: (Update 0.10.7 onwards)

In the forthcoming update, IX Missouri's base economic capabilities will be brought into line with other Tier IX Premium ships.

 

For Veterans: (Who owned the ship prior to / before 0.10.7)

Players who already own the ship at the moment Update 0.10.7 goes live will, on average, earn the same number of Credits as before—a permanent combat mission that applies an economic bonus to all battles will maintain the ship’s economic value for everyone who owned Missouri prior to this change.

To whale or not to whale.

Dat iz de kwestiyon.

[Grygus_Triss]

Wonder how "permanent" that permanent bonus will be? Half surprised WG hasn't just said "yeah, you guys with Missy have had a good run, but we feel you've gotten value out of her over the years, but we're nerfing her credit earning potential now"

To be honest though If not for her earning potential, I would not play her often, as I really only use her these days for credit earning missions in a short space of time.

So I'm still glad we still get the bonus earning.

Spoiler

 

The return of the OG radar BB. It's not the ship herself that I don't like, it's the radar on a BB.

 

Fine whatever. Radar on BBs is not OP by any mean, but it's one of those "you can, but you shouldn't" things.

They try not to anger the old guard, but at the same time, try to whale as many newbies as they can.

My fear here is that, one day, they will pull out that permanent combat mission. Just like what they did to Legendary Upgrades.

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm afraid of as well. WG usually has its most success when they take small steps at a  time.

That, and they're just as likely to mess up missions and accidentally drop it anyway.

The ship itself is an Iowa. And I never say the radar as particularly bad. Very Useful in certain circumstances, but since it only had a 9.5km range, not exactly game breaking. Biggest problem was they could not balance the number of radars in the game, but they don't do that anyway.

[Manacetamol]

Radar BB is OP << no its false

Credits OP << damn its really

 

Prem Acc only no signal >>

Normal T9 Premium can earn 50% more than the Tech tree one >> 150%

Meanwhile Mighty Mo's rate was 100% >> 200%. After nerfed it rolled back to 150% << New owners shall get this without a "Permanent" Bonus mission;

and base on wad they said, probably a "Permanent" Bonus mission (+50% credits per battle) >> earning rate be back as before the nerf >> 200% << nothing change for the old owners.

When WG can find a way to balance her at T9.

then The Missouri Awaken

[UnderTheRadarAgain]

So, about that heal? Missouri missed out on the updated US BB repair party because it had already been removed from the game. Right now Missouri is a weaker Iowa with less battle sustain.

That does not really matter, as even b4 the heal upgrade it can survive fairly well. It can even defend itself against dd with radar, something unique among BB.
The heal is minor, you don't want to do static trade with her anyway. Why do bow in when like Iowa she get 33 knts and a freaking radar ?

[IJN_Katori]

@S0und_Theif I think Musashi needs her B hull (1944, the Yamato Old one) configuration, in case.

 

 

 

I think they have done this before, Musashi can have 2 Hulls like from HSF Harekaze.

[IJN_Katori]

Also don't be deceived!

Do not buy Missouri unless you wanted to!

 

 

Missouri bundle price would cost a kidney, 72,000 doubloons

 

As for the ship (single bundle ), it could be 45,000 doubloons (Depends on your Tax paycheck )

[SgtSullyNZ]

Going to take a while to get the doubloons what ever the price tag, at a weekend pass a week, and maybe a Monthly best deal every quarter if the budget holds

Glad I will get the chance to get this ship, outside a totally random chance in a container, yeah right!

 

[j0e90]

The devil is in the detail... This line concerns me

 

"on average, earn the same number of Credits as before"

Why say on average? It will either have the same credit bonus with the permanent combat mission, or not.

I smell weasel speak and the change for exisiting owners will be bigger than WG are stating.

[iDd_Sloth]

Even if it's a BB ... I'm not even going to bite this one.
$100 USD? No, thanks.

[Watboy]

"negatively affects the game economy"

What game economy? There isn't a social economy in this game. It negatively effects WG's economics/profts, not the game economy.

You clearly don't know how game economy works.

I have an economics degree, and economics is my passion, so I am happy to engage in discussion to learn what I don't know.

Does easy credit cause inflation, no as there's no social aspect to game economics. To me it just reduces the demand to buy credits with cash directly or indirectly (premium time, flags) from WG. What am I missing?

In truth, Allies lost the war and Axis (Soviets joined the Axis instead of allies ) won

For New Purchase: (Update 0.10.7 onwards)

In the forthcoming update, IX Missouri's base economic capabilities will be brought into line with other Tier IX Premium ships.

 

For Veterans: (Who owned the ship prior to / before 0.10.7)

Players who already own the ship at the moment Update 0.10.7 goes live will, on average, earn the same number of Credits as before

 

The legendary credit earnings is LITERALLY the ONLY reason to get it.

So, now there's LITERALLY NO REASON to get the ship.

No. It is to play a tankier Alaska.

[AdmiralYamamoto8]

I whaled santa crates to get a Missouri but came out empty handed. Now they are bringing it back without the credit modifier. As some mentioned, the credit modifier is the only reason to get it. Nah. It is a mediocre BB without the improved USN heal. Might as well stick to Georgia with its overmatch guns and fast reloading heal.
