Okay, two new things this time around.  One: I hope to have seriously improved the quality and clarity of my voice-overs with a new Steelseries gaming headset courtesy of the Freelance Influencer program from WG.  Thanks, guys!

Secondly, I wanted to get ahead of the Skies of Albion event to explain how confrontations work to our newest pilots.  This will be the third or fourth one I've done, and all my knowledge on how to come out ahead in these events is shared in my dialogue.

 

Good hunting!

ill watch this in a bit then appreciate it. But is the event a duration based thing where its accessible for X time then on cooldown for Y time?

That's correct.  It lasts for three hours, then 21 hours off.

 

Special missions and blueprints you get from the crates must be completed during the off time before the next day's confrontation or they expire and you lose the chance to get whatever plane they offered.

had a moment to watch the video, very informative. thanks!
Will these blueprints be reasonable to complete for a newer player?

I have an important question: are they complex, time-consuming, arduous mission chains or simple, easy enough singular missions? If the former, screw me. I'll have to wait until the end of this event to get the new bombers, and I'll get almost nothing from this event. If the latter,  yay, nothing(or almost nothing) to worry about, and these new planes should be easily attained.

I do, but all at a maximum of Tier III, not Tier IV, which is the minimum tier required to take part in the event.

This is a problem WG had in tanks with Clan Wars; and ships with Clan battles...

 

I am West Coast. It's over before I get home from work. How do I participate?

 

Probably the most irritating thing in the game to me.

[Legion_of_Boom25]

Thanks for the info MagusGerhardt. Very informative and i learned more from your follow-up as well.

Also, have a good time on your vacation 

 

Hurry and get to T4 Zhoyzu...Get in the mix

No; nothing you do in between Confrontation Battle times counts for anything event related.  Fly whatever you want, but when the battle begins...pick a side and stick with it to the bitter end!

Getting to tier IV from III shouldn't take long; buckle down, do it and get involved in the event.  The awards are very worthwhile for a new player.

Yeah; this event is beginning earlier in the day than in the past.  I don't know if they're figuring on people being off for vacation?  But still, bad timing in my book.  "Hey, we know you're busy as heck with the holidays and your family, but we have a special event for you to participate in as well."  I share in your frustration; I'm only going to get to play this session and won't be able to so much as log in until middle of next week.  Oh, and I'm glad you found the video helpful!

I was lucky enough to get the ME 109TL in my loot. Problem is, I can't complete the first mission to claim it.  The missions states

"1. Invincible

Awarded for assisting in destroying at least 12 aerial targets in a single battle."

Of course you have to use a tier IV-X plane to accomplish the missions.
I used a tier IV fighter and shot down 15 targets and got 5 assist points, nothing

I thought maybe only assists count, so I flew a battle and got 13 assist points, nothing

I tried two other planes in different tiers and nothing.

This is my first time participating in one of these events and I'd love to be able to accomplish the missions and get a free plane, but this just isn't working for me.  Am I missing something?

 

Thanks for the thread and videos.

Well, I have it better. Still the only thing in WoWP I can do is bot. No, seriously. Every time I try to play a battle, my plane loads in successfully but I do not, and WoWP crashes and will crash upon log-in until that battle is over.

 

Rinse, repeat. It's very boring and doesn't do much for me. Besides, I have new planes I want to play, but right now I can't play them because I can't get into a battle in control of my plane to save my life right now.

There seems to be an issue with the missions:

The guide was very helpful, thanks Magus. Love the other youtube videos as well.

 

As far as the event, I think tonight is the last night of for me. Had a lot of fun, but I've been beaten into submission. Just can't hang with the hotshots yet. With more time, and practice, I'll get there. Just not now.

[trikke]

i have yet to fly in a confrontation, due to family constraints 

 

but it does look like fun!

 

ty, Magus      always classy!
