Commander skills reset only works once! - UPDATE - Apparently now fixed.

Welp, guess I won't touch my captains till they fix it.

Usually I do the manual resets on captains I'm interested in changing during the event, and then right at the end I reset them all with the button.

I typically reset them all at the beginning, then experiment with the relevant ships and reset commanders manually after that. That way I don’t forget to take advantage of the mass reset before the end of the event.

I still have a lot of commanders with no skill points assigned from the last time we got a free reset.

I pushed the button to participate without knowing it resets every single commander on every single ship when all I wanted to do is reset my Napoli.

The reset button in the event article has always been a global reset.

What does "The button has been updated with additional functionality" mean?

I think it means that the author doesn't have English as a first language! Common theme with WG comms. They have changed the wording to make it a little clearer (above) though.

yep.

 

BTW IT WORKS ONLY FOR DUBS!!!

Very poor quality control on the part of WG. That, or they continue their crusade of draining in-game resources whenever possible.

The button in the news item is a global reset i.e. it resets all captains.

If you want to target an individual captain, go into the reset option for the individual captain and it should let you do it for nowt.

Check that you have doubloons selected though - in my hapless DD captain example, you'll note that (theoretically anyway) it can still charge you for xp, if you pick that option. I should note that I haven't tested that.

Don't. The usual sign of discount is not there. Only at the Dubs.

The button still resets all, but you should be able to choose any commander in the game that you want to reset and do so for free. Look at Verblonde's post.

Confirm that NA appears to be fixed; here's my hapless DD commander from the earlier example, as of a few moments ago:

I always reset everything and then respec what I end up using.

The whole no grace period for trying out builds thing would be really bad though.

So, I did just that, and... it charged me in dubs. So it didn't work.

If you only want to reset 3 or 4 commanders, you need to reset them individually in-game, where the cost has been set to 0 doubloons (it was erroneously set to full price initially).

It’s the same system that has been in place for the last few changes to commander skills.

Wait.. Do you mean, if I click on this:

image.png.4bf09a5e14cc644de7f2a10f738bde8b.png

it'll reset all my Commander skills for all ships?

I mean, I don't get to choose ships I want to reset?

Surely, that cannot be?

That's exactly what it is. I already did it D4250899-7637-4DB1-9393-24C11B63FACC.gif. I'm soo frakkin mad I see red now...

Apparently when WG "fixed it" to allow individual resets they screwed it up the other way and we can no longer due a global reset. I clicked the button wanting to reset all my Capt's but it didn't reset them.

Have you logged out of the game, and back in again, since the fix was applied?

My individual captain reset wasn't working earlier, and they applied the fix while I was logged out doing something else. When I logged back in afterwards, to see if the fix was there, it was. This is my NA account of course (EU still shows the previous patch).

Just found this (see below) on Reddit from NA CM Ahskance. Looks like no global reset now on purpose. So you have to do all Capt's individually. What a massive CF this is. I have over 500 Capt's. I prefer the global reset as I can reset them and then reassign skills at my leisure. Now I have to go through all of them and do this in a rush. Just a typical WG mess.

Looks like they've been rather emphatically visited by Mister Cock-Up! I assume there is a good reason why they couldn't just repeat whatever it was they did last time around...?

Actually I don't really care about this as it turns out. Looked closer at the new skills and the only ones I really care about are the ones that are for secondary Cruisers. I did those and the rest I don't care about. I am good with my BB's and DD's the way they are. Thankfully I don't have to do hundreds of Capt's after all. I will just glance at them and if I see one I might like to make a small change on I can take advantage of the free reset. But overall this isn't the big deal I thought it was at first for me.

The new Cruiser secondary skills will be interesting with 10.5-12km ranges LOL.

I have reset a few Capt's so far and it has not cost.

This is getting interesting. When I logged in to the game this morning, I hit the button in the news article and reset all my captains (including those in the reserve). However, I had no option to reset individual captains for free. When I check the game now, I can reset any captain for 0 doubloons. I have no idea what I'll see the next time I visit my port, but I suspect the WoWS powers-that-be are still scrambling to sort this out.

Agreed, the only interesting skill seems to be one that increases the secondary range of cruisers, will definitely try it on Schröder and Napoli, or am i missing something?

For me Puerto Rico, Schill, Agir, Siegfried, Schroder, Hindenburg, Clausewitz, Napoli, Napoli B, Carnot, and Marseille.

Note that it also increases the hitting power of torpedoes. This could be a useful skill on many cruisers.

It's basically the old skill that did that anyway and they just added the secondary range to it
