  • Bonus exp in blitz

I have noticed that most players under level 60 are entering Great Battles instead of playing blitz.
In which case these players and their lower level ships are destroyed by BB and CV's
If NF would add a bonus exp for lower level players from level 1 - 60 for playing in blitz it would encourage more people
to play in blitz.
Seems a bit frustrating that to level we must enter GB over and over to get a decent amount of xp and just sit there
And shoot down planes / try and survive.
Think about it please :)

the resson people get the low lvl ships in GB's
is that the blitz are almost all hobbit war map that won't last for 5 min to get premium
the torps there are on even the bb's let alone stand anny kita's in the room
there for even getting shot in a GB seems alot better then a belly full of torps befor u even start to move
plus most of the old players that start a 2nd or 3rd ship line don't like to go in a blitz
a blitz is for new players in some peoples minds

now i'm for a exp boost for low lvl players in blitz
but is it realy that hard to get thru the first 60 lvl
for the last copple of lvl to get to 120 u need more exp then u need to do the first 60
now thats a grind and not the first 60 some do those in 2 weeks time

There are three playstyle options for lower-level crews in Blitz who are not effective "line" ships:
- Torpedo whoring
- HH rushing
- Rushing & countering rushers

When you go to GBs, the options change:
- ASW via depth charges, HH or torpedoes
- AA escort
- Rushing & countering rushers
- Torpedo and HH whoring (though to a lesser effect in GBs)


Most of the options for success in a blitzkrieg (if your guns and gunners aren't up to par) are looked down on by established players. So not only is there a matter of less XP in blitzkriegs, but you're also going to be right in the middle of all the behaviours that are looked down on.


I do have to ask, though. Why is it a problem to have escort-class ships in GBs? Players in DDs and CLs are a good thing for GBs. ASW and AA are valuable to BB lines.

First, a lot of people already have problems buying their ships (even CL or CA) and more exp will just mean their credit count will fall behind.

Second, we are trying to encourage people to NOT play blitz, especially once they hit CL/CA levels. Trying to teach them not to rush and TW.

No recc

Blitz is a game mode to learn and play with similar level ships. I'm against hobbit map, but you can always change it.

With blitz, you gain less exp, but way more credits than in GB.
As KingCong said before, people playing GB are leveling faster than they are able to gain credits. What happens in the end is that they reach a new ship and aren't able to buy it. If you increase the exp gain in Blitz, you create this problem.

Also, if people started playing normal maps in Blitz, they would find it a very good learning field for manual aiming. Being able to run in a CL/CA and use their range to gain advantage is very good for overall skill. People don't get one-shooted and are able to make mistakes and correct them.

I leveled my first crew all the way to lvl60 in Blitz and it was a great experience.

This. Every crew I started after my initial crew I played Blitz only the first 20-25 levels, because then you can level faster. Well that was when playing GB2 meant waiting for ages to get rooms started. Players who already know how to play and who also know their options in low level ships in GB and who already have enough points and credits don't like to play Blitz indeed. At least I don't.

Blitz is good as it is for newbies. Maybe change standard map to something else than Hobbit wars. A boost in XP is not needed as KingCong pointed out.

Well ok, so no exp increase then, but some other sort of encouragement, Its ok when your CV or BB in a GB, you can use your ship to move into and out of other ships range more effectively for your cannons. But for a little CA or CL in a GB it becomes a very boring task to just sit there and shoot planes or just cruise around behind a BB as your most likely to get one shotted. Then you spend the next 5 mins waiting for your premium.
I remember about 2-3 years ago everyone played in blitz through their levels 1 - 60, using premium as their boost and gaining better exp / credits for doing more dammage etc.
But no one is playing blitz which means great fun for BB's and CV to one shot the little ships that are forced to play GB.
Not much fun for us who simply have to wait and perserver for our first BB to be able to shoot something.
Perhaps you guys can think of another way that people would be more interested in playing Blitz other than the simple excuse of being more skilled and not wanting to be rushed (thats what keeping your distance is for and changing the map from hobit)

easy: STAY BEHIND THE FRONT LINE, wait for incoming dd,cl,ca while doing aa or if you can see a enemy bb that is busy shooting your team bb, you could take a chance to hit it (already sunk a dunky and a l1 with this tactic in my hipper)

i wonder how my at level scharnhorst today can survive in gb rofl, oh wait let see, stay behind the front line, support bbs, if enemy is blind rush in and rush out, shoot down planes, shooting incoming dd,cl,ca and be sunk by ss rofl...
as a bb1 you are just to support your higher level bb, not by going 1 on 1 vs bb3,4,5 or 6 and don't rush (the way new player that has just cap out from blitz they still get their rushing instinct from the result of hobbit map)

The solution is not more exp in blitz. It is less exp in gb2, giving the illusion of more exp in blitz. Not so much of a reduction that all the 1-60 players go to blitz, but enough that people don't level out of ships they still haven't learned to play fully and can't afford the next.

Oh, and remove hobbit wars. It was a stupid idea. Fun as hell when combined with an event dropping thousands of PHH. But a stupid idea nonetheless.

I don't know that many people that really enjoy shooting smalls ships in GB. Generally speaking the smaller ships get shot when they get to be a nusance or cause a threat (aa ships infront of BBs, kitas, or small ships near yourself scouting for the other team).

Want a good way to get players <60 back in blitz, could always go back to the days where gunners didn't get xp unless you got attack. That would put people back in blitz maps lol.
