Review of the Updates to Combat Missions

The combat mission system is one of the oldest components in our game.

Combat missions themselves have significantly changed since they first appeared in the game: we introduced Daily Challenges and Directives, added mission requirements for new battle types and ship branches, and made many other changes.

For Update 0.9.5, we've reworked the "Combat Missions" interface in order to synchronize it with all the current game features. The updated interface will make it easier to navigate through combat missions, their requirements, and rewards.


[h2]Summary of Changes[/h2]

• Access to the list of combat missions, their requirements, and rewards will now be more intuitive and user-friendly. The new interface allows us to display more combat missions on the screen, thus facilitating section navigation.
  
• The detailed descriptions of mission requirements and the available rewards has also been improved. You no longer need to hover the cursor over different interface elements to see the rewards and requirements of a chain of combat missions.
  
• The distribution of missions by tabs is now more simple and clear.
  
• Directives have been moved to a separate tab in the "Combat Missions" section.
  
• The post-battle statistics screen now displays additional information that will make it easier for you to track your progress in combat missions.
  
• We've added an "or" condition that will allow us to create combat missions that are equally interesting to all players.

[h2]Updated Interface[/h2]
The new interface for the "Combat Missions" tab provides access to the list of available combat missions and detailed information about their requirements, and will make it easier to track your progress.

Missions are now distributed across tabs. For example, Daily Missions, missions and Directives of the currently active event.



Under each tab, you'll see a list of the current combat missions, their requirements, your progress, and the rewards you can expect for completing them:

• 1. Combat mission type. Shows whether the current mission is a chain, a recurring mission, a Directive, contains an "or" condition, or is a parent mission that requires the completion of other combat missions in order to finish it.
  
• 2. Mission requirements and current progress.
  
• 3. Icon with the main reward for the mission.
  
• 4. Notification about the approaching expiration of the mission.

Pop-up tooltips will appear when you hover the mouse cursor over interface elements.

Clicking on a mission from the list will show the detailed requirements of this mission, your current progress, the remaining time in which to complete it, and the available rewards.



For Directives and combat mission chains, all the missions of this Directive/chain will be displayed, including a detailed description of their completion requirements.



[h2]Post-battle Statistics Screen[/h2]
The statistics screen now shows the icons of rewards and indicates current progress.



When hovering the mouse cursor over a mission, a tooltip will pop up displaying the available rewards, mission requirements, and current progress.

The main new feature of the update is a tab containing detailed descriptions of the current combat missions that you can open by clicking on a button in the right part of the "Combat missions" section.

The interface allows you to view detailed information about any combat missions you've completed within a battle, without having to return to the Port.

[h2]"Or" Condition[/h2]


To complete missions with an "or" condition, you need to complete only one of the two given requirements. For example, you can either earn 10,000 Base XP OR destroy 10 enemy ships. By completing either one of the two requirements, you'll satisfy the criteria of the combat mission and obtain the rewards for finishing it.

Note: it's not only the requirements of a combat mission that can be different—differing restrictions on battle type or ship tiers and types are also possible. For example, you could be tasked with either scoring 30 torpedo hits playing a Japanese destroyer, OR delivering 10 citadel hits playing a U.S. battleship.

This means that the choice is yours about which of the requirements you prefer to satisfy, and then complete the mission playing the most suitable ships.

[h3]Rewards[/h3]
Want even more bonuses? From now on, to obtain Daily Challenge rewards, it’s completing individual combat missions that counts, as opposed to accomplishing entire chains as it was previously. For completing Daily Missions, starting from the date when Update 0.9.5 goes live until June 30, and also from July 1 until July 31, you’ll obtain the following rewards:

Please note: the new system is still being tested, so the rewards may differ in the future. We’ll closely monitor players' results and feedback, and, based on the outcomes, we'll decide on the further development of the Daily Challenges.

• Each day, you can complete a chain of six missions.
  
• You must earn a certain amount of base XP to complete a mission within the chain.
  
• It's required that you earn 250 base XP in a single battle in order to accomplish the first mission.
  
• The second mission requires you to earn 500 base XP across several battles.
  
• To accomplish the third mission, you need to earn 1,000 base XP in victorious battles.
  
• For missions 4, 5, and 6: you need to earn 1,100; 1,200; and 1,300 base XP in victorious battles, respectively.
  
• All missions within a chain must be completed in successive order playing Tier V–X ships in Operations, Random, Co-op, or Ranked Battles. Daily Missions can also be completed in Submarine Battles while this battle type is available.
  
• You'll receive any due rewards in your Port having completed the conditions of the missions.
  
• After completing the entire chain, you'll obtain the final reward.
