Not Receiving All Bonus Rewards (ie; Ship Count)

[AdmiralThunder]

According to WG 600+ ships receives 7 bonus rewards once you accumulate 1000 BXP. I only got 6. Now, I have exactly 600 ships. Going to grab another T1 to make it 601 and see if that adds the 7th. It SHOULD be 7 for 600 but trust WG to muck it up, mess it up, and/or be misleading. Will post back.

UPDATE: Adding the additional T1 to jump me to 601 ships triggered the 7th bonus reward. Man you got to love WG.

When you tripped 1000 BXP, was it with a ship that still had its “anniversary flake,” or had you already deflowered that ship?

The issue was you tried to use normal math to figure out how many ships/rewards you had. You should have used WeeGee math instead.

Moving forward, I shall use that word whenever there are events such as this one. LOL

The bonus rewards aren't tied to the regular rewards. They trigger separately by getting 1000 BXP cumulatively. I have done so 4X now since bumping my ship count to 601 and each time it has given 7. So 600 is not triggering it as it should but 601 will. At least for me.

I guess this will speed up snowflaking tremendously, sounds nice when we are now seeing it in practice.

It is super fast. I have played 14 games so far. 2 at T9 (Los Andes - wanted to try it and knocked the flake off which took a 2nd game) and 12 at T5. I have already triggered the bonus rewards 5X. Just in Co-op.

Note - I am starting low tier and working up. Although the changes to bonuses is great they also changed base bonus requirements. It is no longer 300 BXP or a win but varies by tier for BXP. Low tier is really low BXP (just 200 at T5) and very easy to do in 1 game. Higher tiers are as high as 600 BXP so "for Co-op" that is a lot harder. So rather than start high and use bonuses on low tier I am doing the opposite as it is faster overall. This "should be" the fastest flake event ever.

I'm actually wondering about that strategy myself. Since I expect the majority of flakes to be cleared from the 1000 BXP counter for large fleets like my own (about 470 ships) and higher tier ships get more BXP in (coop) battle on average, I'm wondering, if it isn't worth it to just play higher tiers. I'm sure there's an optimal tier, but I doubt that it's tier 5 or 6.

But of course if you don't mind playing tier 5 and 6, have fun with it! As for myself, I don't particularly enjoy them, so perhaps I'm just fishing for an excuse to not have to play them.

until they fix the bug nerfing BXP in OPs it may be best to be in co-op

[Taylor3006]

I went ahead and bought a bunch of tier 2 destroyers & cruisers to bring me up to 401 (already had the tier 1s in port). I wish I had done it earlier in the day when I started playing but oh well. One thing I did do was get a couple of low tier DDs that you need to finish a mission in the Epochs campaign so I can farm some flags later down the road. I couldn't justify the expense of low tier BBs for a set of flags though.

You will clear flakes off the T5 (200 BXP) and T6 (250 BXP) ships in 1 game unless you basically never leave spawn. So it's 1 and done for those ship about 99.99999% of the time guaranteed. It is only taking me 2-3 games to reach the cumulative 1000 BXP (4 has been absolute max and only once) even at T5 (took me 2 at T9 when I played Los Andes to try it earlier and knock it's 500 BXP flake off). 

I would much rather play high tier vs T5 and T6. But from a knock it out as fast as I can perspective "in Co-op" this seems to be the way to go. T8 (400 BXP), T9 (500 BXP), T10 (600 BXP), and SuperShips (600 BXP) are most likely going to take 2 games in Co-op to just clear their flake. Also, more people, and better players, are doing this at high tiers which makes it harder to do well vs at lower tiers where it is a cake walk.   

Being able to pretty much guarantee 1 game per ship at T5/T6 (T7 at 300 BXP should be about a 95%+ 1 game guarantee) and only needing 2-3 games to reach 1000 BXP it is going crazy fast. With 600 ships in port I want this to go as fast as it can. I don't think high tier play will do that. This is one of those rare instances where playing lower tiers seems to make it go faster.

I can handle the low tiers but if you can't then just play where it's fun. As said I would much rather be doing this the other way around but when it was announced I thought about it and kind of figured this would be quicker. With how fast it is going I think I was right. Plus it gives me a chance to play some ships I almost never do like Krasny Krym. Low tiers can be fun too.

I had to play Exeter 3 games before I managed a 250 BXP.  I hate Standard battle....  But yeah Thunder is right, play those low tier ships first. I have been blowing thru them quickly and managed to use the rewards to blow off flakes from all my subs, carriers, and a nice hunk of my tier 10 tech tree BBs and DDs.

Unless someone from the forums is in game and says thanks for the tip (not you) and then RNG says hey let's embarrass the heck out of AT and not let him hit anything no matter how well he aims. I had FOUR...FOUR...of 44 MB shells hit and only 91 BXP in a game with Konig. I mean I have had the game disconnect me on load in, not made it back in until almost the end, and done better. Only T5 game today where I didn't at least clear the flake and it had to be a game with someone from here.

I noticed that when you reach the 1k xp total, the ship you are in loses its snowflake.  I had 5 rewards and needed 85 xp for my next set.  I took out Moskva and I got 5 more plus the one that was on Moskva.  Is that how it's supposed to work.  6 total?

edit : I'm blind now.  Moskva did not lose her "snowflake".  So... 5.  5 for every 1k?  I could have sworn that when my Khaba cleared the last 1k hurdle, she lost her snowflake.  I am so confused.

Those must have been some dire games not to get 250bxp cumulative. I feel for you.

That's not the only weirdness going on. I've got a bunch of ships (as in more than half of them) not showing up on the Festive Rewards list, even though their flakes haven't been knocked off yet- for example, I have six T10s left with flakes, but only two of them appear on the list, and a heap of other ships from other tiers are also missing. Changing the sorting options (tier/nation/type) does not make them re-appear, and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to which ships are affected; I have both tech tree and premium ships missing from the list all the way down to T5.

There was once a bug where not all ships were visible in the carousel, but they reappeared after playing a game or on restart of the program. Maybe you could restart and report back?

That's disconcerting.  I never thought to look at that.... <checks list>  

Here's a thing.  I sorted the ships by tier and look what happened...

Note the 11 ships that show up after the tier 5 ships.  How odd.  They are not on the list twice either.  Hmmm, odd.

[Wrath_of_Deadguy]

Oh, WeeGee. Even when they do something right, they find a way to get it wrong. 🤦‍♂️

This is a great format for the event, honestly; it really cuts down on the time required to knock flakes off for folks with a lot of ships... but it definitely could have used another few days in the QA department before it went live.

*edit- Restarted the client; all the same ships which were missing before are still missing.

• If you play a ship to clear its snowflake you need to reach its tier base BXP level (it is cumulative and not in a single game anymore + the or win thing is gone I believe). So, for Khaba or Moskva that would be 600 BXP earned on it cumulatively by playing that ship.
  • T5 = 200 BXP
  • T6 = 250 BXP
  • T7 = 300 BXP
  • T8 = 400 BXP
  • T9 = 500 BXP
  • T10/SS - 600 BXP
• You get bonus flakes for reaching 1000 BXP cumulatively. Bonus flakes can be used on any ship that has one. You get a set # of bonuses based on your fleet size.
  • 0-24 Ships = 1
  • 25-49 Ships = 2
  • 50-99 = 3
  • 100-199 = 4
  • 200-399 = 5
  • 400-599 = 6
  • 600+ = 7

So for me with 601 ships if I play Moskva or Khaba and get 600+ BXP in a game I knock its flake off. If that BXP causes me to break the current cumulative 1000 BXP total I am working on it triggers the bonus flakes for me. So, it would be 1 base flake + 7 bonus flakes for 8 total (technically). The flake for Khaba or Moskva will come off and you get the little port notice as usual/it shows on the post battle screen and then the bonus flakes will show on the little scale thing in port to the left in the menu section (you don't get notified in the post battle screen of reaching 1000 BXP cumulative).

Make note if you have 600 ships exactly it only gives 6 not the 7 it is supposed to. You need to get to 601 for the 7 to start triggering. Hence why I started the thread because the 1st time I broke 1000 BXP it only gave me 6 bonuses with exactly 600 ships. I added a T1 to make it 601 and it has been 7 ever since.

Hope this helps explain it for you.

WG really needs to work on the filter. It is a mess. Let us filter by nation, ship type, and tier so we can narrow it down to the sub group we want to look in. Only being able to pick one option sucks and even more so because they jumble them all around and there is no order to it. I suggest this every single event where we get a survey.

This explains it exactly!  I have 215 ships so I get 5 and I've been getting 5.  Thanks for the explanation.

The rewards menu is sorting any primary ships separately from your non primary ships. And for whatever reason, is sorting them to the end of the list rather than at the beginning like the port carousel does.

They're marked as primary ships, so the rewards menu is sorting them separately. Why would you expect them to be anywhere else besides the end of the list? Where else would you put them?
