Andrewbassg Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Seems to be a mashup, between various past special modes. In essence is convoy, spiced with special consumables in a brawl. The actual Pinata (so far) is a CV ( why oh why Wedgie, wazz the reasoning?? ) Tbh It seems fun, tho subs are allowed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral_Karasu Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Dude, seriously, I am the Pinata. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Potter Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 (edited) Nope. Edit: Not worth the time when all you can basically buy with the tokens is useless permanent camo. Now if they allowed us to sell the permanent camos for credits or something, then I might try a game or two. Like many things these days with the game... just not worth the time for such little rewards. Edited March 27 by Colonel Potter 7 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a252 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Probably not, reward is joke. I may give it a try just to see if grinding Kitakaze is ok there. But otherwise I am not bothered. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desmo_2 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 The big prize to be gotten with "Pinata tokens" seems to be hideous permanent camo. 🤮 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any tokens after that will sit unused, and hopefully will convert to silver once the event ends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevermore135 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Haven’t checked the in-game rewards, which is usually what drives my decisions regarding these types of temporary modes. At least this mode allows you to play (and grind) your existing ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been playing in the Pinata Hunt mode for a handful of battles, this morning. I was just on the same team with @Fool_of_a_Took in my last battle. We were victorious. Good game. 🙂 So far I've played my I-56 Submarine in a game and a one game each with my Kaga, Kaga-B and Shokaku.

Took Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I think the Big prize here actually is the credits you can crank out in premium ships... the games are pretty fast.. even losses pay fairly well.. at least with Benham. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frostbow Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 The colors are vibrant but they are a bit too much. The sound effects can be annoying. I just had my first game in it—I destroyed the Pinata (an Essex with a shield that comes and goes), and the resulting effects were extravagantly excessive, as can be seen here: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfswetpaws Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I just sank a Pinata. She was a Schleiffen in this particular game, while I was sailing my ARP Takao. The red-team defeated us, but it was a milestone moment for me, and a fun and friendly game overall. 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On to topic, I like 'pinatas', especially when it is a horrid reworked CV on the enemy team & we (especially, I) can fill it full of holes & sink it. A CV Pinata (in randoms) is the most enjoyable pinata to wack & wack & wack ... 😄 😄 😄 Edited March 27 by Aethervox 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Rawhide Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I've played a few games. As someone said, colors and effects are annoying. The game gets boring fairly quickly. Payout seems similar to Brawls with games lasting about the same. Considering that the 'big' payout is a really lame camo I think I'll stay with Brawls. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a fan of cartoony perma camos so I have little desire to participate in the event. I miss the old April Fools events like the ducks in the bathtub 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
