This isn't the first time that WG/WOWs has made things that require some cryptography effort to discern and reveal. The previous "designer's desk" port screens were examples of the creations with a lot of little touches that could be "decoded". Some of them had to be translated from russian, though.

However, in their infinite wisdom and desire to make every bloody thing we have to do so GD difficult, they have failed to tell us how to get the 🤬mission! My guess is you need to watch something (official stream maybe?) or get a code but it tells you NOTHING about how to get that mission that I can see anywhere. No one I have asked seems to know how either. I have watched all the streams (except official one as it is hasn't been on when I can as usual), applied all codes I can find, clicked every button in articles, and done every mission I have got so far and that 1st light is still grayed out so I haven't got what I need to start the mission. Any clues or tips would be appreciated. WHY must they make everything so convoluted and difficult. Just give us the the 🤬🤬🤬missions and stop making us play scavenger hunt all the time! I tried this dog and pony show last patch, or maybe it was the patch before that, and after going through each of those hoops the reward was just two of the old WeeGee containers. They renamed the old WeeGee containers to something stupid, but its the same rewards as the old WeeGee containers: one day of premium time and combat signals. AFAIK the rewards change for each patch, I think one patch had Air Supply or Dunkirk containers and since I have already completed those collections I didn't bother with this new circus that WeeGee created. @AdmiralThunder I bet you more than 95% of the global player base doesn't even know about this side mission from the Update News. Remember, reading is OP. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there's that, but I belong to the school of thought that everything you need to complete an event needs to be in the game client. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YES! WG needs to clearly and concisely explain the where, when, what, and how for these events and then it is on the players to take the initiative to do it or not. But these half hearted explanations WG gives, or even worse when they purposefully make us hunt it all down and figure it out on our own, are frankly asinine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only halfway paying attention and just happened to notice that the mural was clickable. WG does too much at one time with terrible explanations and communications. They needlessly complicate everything. It's no wonder we as players are always so confused and upset. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I detest it all myself. Just tells us what to do in a simple, straight forward, and COMPLETE manner in the news articles -OR- better yet just assign the missions automatically (and maybe give an opt out option in port for those who won't/don't want to do that mission to clear their UI). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFagan_1987 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Ok, is the "special anniversary mission" for the navigator lights the one from the Twitch stream that gives 2 supercontainers as a reward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. I got that one and finished it. That could come from any streamer with drops enabled. I believe the Anniversary mission for Light 1 only comes from the Official stream.

Admiral_Karasu Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Kaligula_Varyag informed me that it's this mission here. Should turn the light green once it's complete. I've started out, but the light has not turned red, but we will see... after 8,888 BXP's. https://worldofwarships.com/en/news/sales-and-events/wows-8th-anniversary/#parallel_words https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/sales-and-events/wows-8th-anniversary/#parallel_words https://worldofwarships.asia/en/news/sales-and-events/wows-8th-anniversary/#parallel_words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as all you guys - just 2nd light green. Tbh this thread is giving me a large amount of hilarity, we're getting close to conspiracy theories and hooded WG employees lurking in the shadows! Isn't it obvious to anyone yet?? THE MISSION HASN'T BEEN RELEASED YET!!! (Sorry for caps, but needs must 😛 ) Just because the 2nd light is green, doesn't mean the first light has to be available, I mean c'mon this is WeeGee we're talking about. If the mission had been released, even if it was hidden in the darkest alcoves of the Vatican archives, someone would have found it. *Edit due to above post* Nope that not it, I completed that 8,888 BXP mission and all you get is some crappy flag.

I'm working on that one but progress is slow as I'm mainly focusing on knocking off the tokens in coop rather than doing Ops as I normally would be doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NMA101 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 You know, this whole thing could have been avoided if WG bothered to do one simple thing: tell us the date the mission is active! But no, no, no, transparency is bad and will hurt profits apparently... Just a small example: Brawls have been around for years, but only since a few months ago has WG been publishing the details in advance in the official update news: tiers, size of teams, the week of the update (1-4) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact light 1 is unlit means it's not available yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt_Kremenski Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 (edited) I gotta admit this method is beyond stupid. They've had a few of these navigator light things before and there was 1 that by the time I got all lights lit and claimed I got a chain of missions to complete in ONE day! Not possible. I've worked them out now, just click the box below the light and it jumps to what you need to do - Clicking under the first box jumps to this (as we all know) To earn even more Festive Tokens and light up your first signal light on the Update Navigator, complete a special anniversary combat mission. All we gotta do is wait for a mission that has festive tokens as rewards. (And of course the light will turn red when this happens).
