I seem to recall dockyards typically being running a bit longer (with stages available for purchase for a couple weeks after the missions end), but based on the news article it looks like this one will end at the beginning of 13.1 (next patch). There isn’t a new dockyard next patch, so it looks like we will indeed have a short break before the next one. We will probably see a new one in ~5 weeks time with 13.2, but WG still hasn’t produced a roadmap so what ship it will be is anyone’s guess.

They are milking the cow faster then it can produce milk. There are SO much events in the game that I need to spend half my salary just to get few... and that even before I can get my next salary haha. Serious, its getting out of hands.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ensign Cthulhu Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) 50 minutes ago, Nevermore135 said: I seem to recall dockyards typically being running a bit longer IIRC the missions would usually go on for another week, but that's because one of the late stages always involved a pair of pretty big base XP grinds, which they would allow a fortnight to get through. Then they would leave the dockyard available for buy-out for another patch, for anyone who missed it and wanted to buy it outright. This time around, they substituted ship and commander XP grinds which they reckoned people would power through with high-end boosters in the space of a week. It's notable that criticisms of previous dockyards in the current system include (a) the size of the base XP grinds and (b) people who wanted nothing to do with the dockyard (or had already finished it and claimed the ship) not wanting it hanging around in their port for another month after the missions were over. This Dockyard seems to have addressed both of those issues while simultaneously garnering howls of protest about the size of the ship and commander XP grinds, proving that WG is damned if it does and damned if it doesn't.

Serious, its getting out of hands.. I get by just ignoring what I don’t care about. This patch has actually been pretty low-key for me, with the end of the dockyard grind (the Mega containers being the end goal) being pretty easy and the US CV event being such a greedy cash-grab that it’s easy to ignore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be very interested in a Hybrid-BB derived from the Yamato's hull (or the Daisen's hull). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://translate.yandex.com/translator/Japanese-English Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total market value: 3580 dubs. Acquisition cost: 3000 dubs. You might almost call that value for money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahem. Well, @Jakob Knight, after reading the above and posting it on the "Announcements" bulletin-board in my Port's Administration Building, both of the Commanders named A.L. Yukikaze serving in my Fleet approached me and said the announcement was <bleeping, bleepity-bleeped, bleep-bleep!>. Thusly advised, I shall treat the announcement with some skepticism and remove it from my bulletin-board, pending verification from independent sources. 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could it be anything but authentic?? ((Edit: and yes, I did model the project on an actual event in another online game I play, so it's not as far out there as might be thought.))
