Missions in WOT Blitz started with update 1.8 in 2015, to allow players to primarily gain some extra xp and credits; but also free xp, crew xp and sometimes premium time; by completing missions in a defined tier and/or tank type. At that time we saw the daily resets reduced from three times a day to twice a day. A move that certainly limited the extra amount of bonus xp a very active player could grind per day on his/her project tanks and gave a nudge to completing missions for xp; with the benefits of some credits and other perks.
While many people chose to more or less ignore missions due to the tier or tanks that the mission algorithm picks (combined with the single free skip per day and gold cost for other ones); since then missions have become more of necessity because of the credit crunch in tier ix and x; and are now required for participating in grind events, earning tournament entry tickets and with the next update missions with also be used for the unlocking of equipment slots.
The way missions are implemented right now (based on broad feedback and daily - weekly forum threads) and their rewards (which have changed over time to include many small kinds of tokens, boosters and partial beneficial things) seems to lead to a lot of frustrations.
There are a lot of complaints about the reset times (which are a global reset for all servers decided by the RU server time), grind events where both sets must be completed daily, some really difficult missions, platoon missions, supremacy missions, lack of supremacy games in some tiers, the fact that any number of battle may or may not reset the mission tier, the tier level gets reset by buying a tank (which may be beneficial to many but also a struggle if it is your first tank in a certain tier and/or you don’t have the credits yet for crew and equipment), etc., etc.
After you complete the poll, please take a brief moment to reply about what you personally like / don’t like about the current system, what you wish would be improved and how you would fix missions if it were up to you.
One brilliant recent suggestion (I forgot to screenshot who posted it) was to scrap reset times altogether and just have one sheet of 6 missions per day.
What other ideas do you have that we may be able to feature in a followup poll and/or do a mockup with and present to wargaming?
