Why does this wager exist?
Mission Maker is probably one of the hardest achievements to get so having a wager where you get 10 tries is a bit too hard to do they should either remove this wager or give you more tries to do it.
Do you agree?
Do you want it removed?
I never, ever, ever, ever even attempt to use that wager. 100% of every Mission Maker wager I get goes into the recycle bin. ALL of them. Before the recycle mechanic was added I had hundreds of those stupid things. They are all gone now, and when the SL crates happen, I burn each and every one of them as I get them.
It is absolutely without a doubt the most useless wager in the entire game. I would have no issue with it being completely removed.
There is no point in increasing the number of allowed failed attempts to complete it. They could give you 20 attempts and it would still be a 90% failure rate, or worse. It is pure random “luck”. There is 0 way to ensure that you get both the first strike and final blow. I get maybe 1 or 2 mission maker awards per month, if I am playing like 10+ matches a day. And that is with using my fastest light tanks to get to the battle ASAP try try and get the first strike.
Final Blow is much worse. You never know where the last enemies will be, if you are close enough, and who will get that very last shot, at the correct last second. Worse than playing the Lotto.
Then getting both in the same match? HA! 🤣
Furthermore, the Mission Maker daily and/or special tasks I always pay the SL’s to change. Absolutely pointless. They should remove those tasks as well as this Wager. Stupid on top of stupid.
It is easier to get and drop multiple nukes in Ground Realistic OR Ground Arcade than it is to get this stupid award/trophy one time. 3 TIMES for a wager, with only 3 failed attempts?! Absolutely stupid. Again, even with 6 failed attempts allowed, or even 20. Not happening.
I mostly play AB, and it is ridiculously difficult to do in that mode. I have heard others
say it is not too bad in RB, but I just do not know.
In over 70,000 finished missions(90+% in AB) this is how many Mission Maker Awards I have:
And I have a 68% arp in AB, so not like I am not out there trying most games
Just the chaotic nature of that mode makes it something that is 99% dumb luck
rather than anything skill based, so yeah . . . if not the other modes,
at least get rid of it for tasks(it’s an auto recycle wager as well) in AB
Just how it seems to me . . . may have been more relevant years ago,
but now . . not so much
My opinion is all
̶W̶a̶i̶t̶,̶ ̶b̶u̶t̶ ̶d̶o̶e̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶a̶c̶t̶u̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ ̶t̶r̶a̶c̶k̶ ̶m̶i̶s̶s̶i̶o̶n̶ ̶m̶a̶k̶e̶r̶ ̶a̶w̶a̶r̶d̶s̶?̶ ̶O̶r̶ ̶d̶o̶e̶s̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶t̶r̶a̶c̶k̶ ̶e̶a̶c̶h̶ ̶F̶i̶r̶s̶t̶ ̶S̶t̶r̶i̶k̶e̶!̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶F̶i̶n̶a̶l̶ ̶B̶l̶o̶w̶!̶ ̶c̶o̶m̶b̶i̶n̶e̶d̶?̶ It tracks both! I never knew there was a tracker for some awards lol. I’m going to see if there is a separate one just for First Strike now too 👍
Oh! There is!
Ok, so maybe I need to edit my post about how getting nukes is easier than Mission Maker 😂 I still feel that I would have better luck getting nukes deliberately than I would trying to get Mission Maker intentionally. Especially in Arcade like you mentioned. I also hardly play RB, so I don’t have as much of an opinion there.
Yes, they just call the same thing different names in game and in the Achievements section.
I don’t know why . … translation thing maybe . . .
Be nice if those things had a running total for each mode and were kept up with,
be interesting to see some of those numbers for various things.
Needs to be kept so I have something to trade-in for random orders and other items
I have never even gotten a single nuke, and doubt I ever will . … not my style.
I just use my bombers(in AB) whenever I get the chance to score better
and maybe help my team win . . I just wouldn’t use a nuke really
p.s. and every single Mission Maker Award(all 312) I have ever gotten was . . .
a complete surprise . . . . LOL
One of the big reasons I occasionally get nukes in Arcade is because I am almost always using light tanks, so the scouting helps push the CAS points higher lol. AND, I usually only get a nuke when I forget to use a bomber, or I am just doing so well/pushing into their side so hard that I’m better off not using CAS.
Nukes in Arcade are neat, but I agree using the bomber’s is almost always the better choice. For helping the team, giving you more points, letting the match go longer, all of the reasons.
Those damn things are useless!!! I HATE THEM and i recycle all of them
the wager is literally up to cosmic luck.
don’t remove it tho, I want free recycle fuel.
Meh, it’s worse because recycling is 2 to 1. You lose 50% of whatever you recycle, to get another chance. Having it in the possible drops just lowers your chances at everything else.
It would be better to remove this garbage wager and have a chance at something else that you want, or at the very least something tolerable. Even if you still want to recycle whatever else is possible, there would still be less 50% burning by removing this thing from the pool.
But this thing has absolutely no use or redeeming qualities. Remove it 😄!
OR! If they want to come up with a NEW wager that isn’t complete garbage, that way none of the other % odds for everything else would change. I would be fine or even happy with that. Any other concept for a wager would be better than Mission Maker.
HECK, even a “lazy” change to make it First Strike! OR Final Blow! would be “OK” with me. Still wouldn’t be my favorite wager, but it at least wouldn’t be nearly impossible. I still might recycle it, but I would assume a lot more people would be interested in using it. A lot of players really enjoy running face first into mid at the start of a match 😂 And/or pushing enemy spawn to try and get Final Blow! Fine by me.
