Capt_Kremenski Posted March 23 Posted March 23 How do you get that mission for the rental of Mainz?? I've seen this asked on Discord, on Reddit, but no one ever answers. Is it a case of standing on a 40th floor window sill with your right trouser leg rolled up and shaking hands with some hooded guy, or slaughtering your first born with a silver dagger under a full moon?? What am I missing? 1
Andrewbassg Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Must be some RNGeysus thingy.....couple of days ago got a Hornet rental. Yikes...... 3
SunkCostFallacy Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Yesterday I noticed that I have that mission. The thing is, I have NO idea where it came from. When I read the news I actually pay attention and I have no recollection whatsoever of clicking on anything that gave a rental ship. It's really weird.

Snargfargle Posted March 24 Posted March 24 I haven't even played the game for a month, other than to go into the Training Room to investigate a couple of technical issues, much less read the WOWS News to hit any button. However, I have the Mainz mission.

desmo_2 Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Sometimes these rental ship missions are randomly awarded to a select number of players. I found a CV rental on my account the other day (Hornet, maybe?). I haven't seen the Mainz rental mission.
Yedwy Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Anyway I took the box and Yubari dropped out of it, not bad... 4

I found a CV rental on my account the other day (Hornet, maybe?). I haven't seen the Mainz rental mission. I had the Hornet rental, too. A few weeks ago. I think the rental period was for 3 days or 5 battles, whichever happens first. For me, the battles happened first. I don't mind sailing a "rental". It's a nice way to get a "free sample" and "try before you buy". For me, the Hornet was an interesting variation of CV play. She's now on my "wish list". In the past I've had the Yamato and the Kaga as "rentals", too. 1

What am I missing? I've been playing Star Trek Online the past few days. But this morning, Sunday March 24th. 2024, I logged-in to World of Warships. And. "lo and behold", the "Mainz rental or a Junior Recruiting Station Container" mission was there waiting for me. Now all I have to do is earn 9,000 BaseXP. 😉

pepe_trueno Posted March 24 Posted March 24 considering they have been doing some aggressive moves to encourage people to bring new players like those recruiting station missions and group play missions it would not surprise me if this mission was given to those who haven't used the recruit station or played in groups.

I'm not sure if they awarded the mission or not. That's all I can guess, at the moment. Otherwise it was simply WG/WOWs RNG? I don't know. 2
Admiral_Karasu Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Perhaps it's some code related thing? Or Twitch, as you say. 2

SunkCostFallacy Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Well ... I certainly haven't watched any Twitch streams, so I don't know if it's that.
DDG44_Vet Posted March 25 Posted March 25 It showed up in my combat mission list and I haven’t watched any Twitch streams either. 1 1
Capt_Kremenski Posted March 25 Author Posted March 25 I'm now fairly certain it's RNG. I read all news and click all buttons, I watch the official WoW stream every week plus a few others like Lord_Zath, MalteseKnight. No one on Reddit or Discord has given an answer so it seems it's just luck of the draw. Having MainzB I wasn't interested in the rental but I did want the container. Oh well......... 2 1
Admiral_Karasu Posted March 25 Posted March 25 It even showed up for me, but I think only on EU, not on ASIA. The only code I've used is the Romanian captain one. 1
Admiral_Karasu Posted March 25 Posted March 25 6 minutes ago, Capt_Kremenski said: Which code was that? TEODORESCU From this thread Gives a string of missions for a captain. I don't know if there's ANY connection between those two missions. 1
Capt_Kremenski Posted March 25 Author Posted March 25 Sadly not that. Already used that code and completed mission. 1
Admiral_Karasu Posted March 25 Posted March 25 The speculation seems to be that it is indeed random, and there's neither any confirmation nor denial by WG as far as I can tell. Whether something triggers it or not, I don't know. I would have thought that it might have been playing a German cruiser, but I have this on EU, and I've only, IIRC, been playing Japanese or Spanish ships on EU lately. 2
