Big ranked battles compilation thread so we dont have multiple other threads discussing the same thing.
daki replied to txtspeak's topic in General Discussion
Reached 5 today, played one battle and was in queue for 2:45 mins - not too bad. So I guess you can play now -

To add, MM also takes into account that you are T6, i.e. it does not assume that you are T7 so the most probable pairing is with at least 1 T6 on enemy team. -

From 15 to 12 you need 12 stars (and you are even getting some bonus ones). With enough persistence and quite a bit of luck, average or below player can reach 12 as last irrevocable rank. That is why occasionally you can see them in that rank. Of course, from rank 12 things get much "tougher" for such players. With lucky winning streaks and being carried by teammates, they may reach rank 10 and stay there shortly (another 8 stars). But not more than that (excluding extreme luck) - they hence spend most of the time at rank 12 (so beware when you see players at that rank ). For them, psychologically, being at rank 12 (or even reaching 10 at best), represents a validation of personal view "I am a great player but bad teams and RNG f**k me up". So they tend to be bossy -
Yubari and Sims back on sale in Premium Shop
daki replied to OldGrandad's topic in General Discussion
Sims is not that bad Granted, it is not a great ship, especially for randoms,but it performs quite decently in ranked. It is a good cash machine and captain trainer. When I have good games in ranked, it can get 600-700k credits in a match. Compared to Mahan: + about 2k more HP (that is a big plus) + better maneuverability (speed, rudder shift, turning circle) + 600m lower detection range - 1 gun less (which is basically 20% less guns, but about 17% better ROF for Sims so more or less it balances out) - weaker and slower torps (the biggest minus): 49kn vs 55kn and 8,5k vs 11,6k dmg. In addition maybe the biggest difference torp wise is 2x4 launchers for Sims vs 3x4 for Mahan All in all, it is a premium ship with clear trade-offs vs. its silver counterpart. Also you will never see in chat comments like "P2W noob" or "Sims OP" I agree that Blyska is overall better in ranked, but in "knife fights" with it Sims can do very well. My tactic is to try to close the distance as much as possible in order to use better mobility and significantly better turret turn time (5,3 sec vs 18 sec for Blyska) to negate the gun advantage. Also most Blyskas do not expect to be rushed by Sims ('cause who will dare rush the best destroyer currently in ranked ) so there is often a nice element of surprise. -

Only met them twice so far, though they made very little impact. Nevertheless I would expect that well used radar charges can be an extremely potent tool for ranked taking into account the high DD population. -
I do not think that this "phenomena" requires a topic of its own. We already have a topic dedicated to ranked, and nothing you wrote here would suggest that there is a need to have a new thread besides the old one. The "phenomena" you describe is rather simple. If you do not win enough, you will not progress further. Some people reach their limit and get stuck in say rank 18, some on 15, some on 10.... and a selected few manage to reach rank 1. As simple as that. In other words, what you find "simple" some players might find difficult and vice-versa what you find "difficult" some players may find simple & easy. Hence you will not really get any meaningful answers because basically every player has its "phenomena" in ranked. I for example can say that it took me more time to go from rank 18 to 15 than from 10 to 7. Is my "phenomena" significant or helpful for anyone besides myself? No. Does it hence warrant a new thread? Definitely not.

Does WG spend any effort on PvE missions and Coop?
daki replied to tacomaco's topic in General Discussion
The point of PvE is game introduction and for some testing, having relaxed games where you can turn off Brain Mk 1 module... I do not see it as any type of "end content" or "stand alone mode" like in AW for example, and it should not be imho. Devs should keep most effort on PvP. Speaking of competition, WT is still stuck at the joke level. When they will launch it (if at all)? In like 3 years? If they stick with the concept of like 18th century ships I predict a very low demand and playerbase. -
Seems like a reasonable approach. I will have to try it on high tier BBs. Thanks for the tip Currently I tried it on Sims which I use for ranked, since it already has a great rudder shift time. I found it very useful in dodging walls of torps launched at me when I am in smoke. Previously I would usually leave the smoke when expecting incoming torps. Being now very quick in reaching 1/4 speed or reverse from stationary, gives me much better dodging opportunity without leaving the smoke.

Competitive Leagues and Tournaments for EU - WoWseLeagues.com
daki replied to WoWseLeagues's topic in General Discussion
Indeed, in this specific case you are a troll imho. Please note that this is an announcement thread where people/teams should show interest for participation and ask questions about the initiative, rules... The purpose of this thread is not to discuss if WoWs can be esports game or whatnot. If you really want to discuss if WoWs can be a viable Esports title or not, you (and anyone else) are more than free and welcome to open a new thread. -

daki replied to txtspeak's topic in General Discussion
Excellent point. Maybe WG could change XP modifiers for CAs only for ranked battles in order to promote them. A nice addition would be also higher modifiers for credits in Ranked battles. With more cruisers there would be less MM issues (related to class distribution) and hence much less whine and need for moderators to react on forums. -
Yeah, bad weather and camping do not mix well mate.

Maybe you are? The new TK system was not implemented long ago. Only now is this issue there, since in the past it was rather difficult to turn pink.

Which forum members have you seen in random battles?
daki replied to Cobra6's topic in General Discussion
Met Flamu in ranked (on my team). Quite a decisive victory which allowed me to reach rank 7. Always good to have a great player on your team when you need to advance to the next rank. -
If this is just an alt account and you are indeed an experienced TB player, then please advise what is the name of your team as I would expect it to be on the top of ladders next season with such insights... While I have no idea what good reason one would have to play different nations on different accounts, again its your free choice (though not really in line with WG rules). It just makes me question your statements and your seriousness even more.
-
Its because we have probably about 10-15 such threads in the first few pages of the forum. Its a topic which has been "discussed" ad nauseam since early beta. Last but not least, mentioning "krokodil" in the topic name definitely does not suggest that you wanted to have a "normal discussion" but rather to just troll, make fun...
-
Of course you have right to any opinion you wish. No one is disputing that. However the majority of people here consider that it is a bit embarrassing when you talk about something you know very little about, and try hard to "prove" how right you are. With 49 random battles and service record level 9 - which means you have 0 TB experience, very few will take your comments about the impact on TB seriously... Next time I suggest that you reformulate your post, so if you think such an option will have an impact, basically just ask players with experience what they think about it.
-
Step 1. Player screws up MM by having multi tier division Step 2. Player comes to forum to whine Just one of the countless threads with the same old boring whine. The only original thing I guess is that you used "krokodil" narcotics to describe the MM. However I neither find it funny, nor particularly witty.

Dear 4bombs, since you seem so concerned about its impact on TB, can you please explain how come we do not have already tons of rage threads about it? Let me remind you that the camera was already in the game for long time (ctrl+rshift+backspace). You could have used it even when alive... So yeah, its a bit embarrassing trying so hard to create a big issue out of something which is not really an issue.

daki replied to WoWseLeagues's topic in General Discussion
Well I would suggest that you re-read once again what he has written as your "common sense" has nothing to do with the discussion in question. Then again, calling WoWs a "bingo" game suggests that you have very little of either understanding of this game or common sense for that matter. Sorry for off-topic I would kindly ask mods to come for a spring cleaning in this thread as a very interesting topic and initiative is being derailed by various trolls. -
DDs here, DDs there, DDs everywhere! But wait, what is this (I am at rank 9)? So much about BB caps... Should I now open a whine thread about BBs in ranked? The only reason why DDs seem so "dominant" is due to the fact that majority of BB players are unable to adjust their playstyle to Ranked which does not tolerate the standard camping strategy from randoms. In that particular game, despite an advantage, thanks to some heavy camping on our team we managed to lose in the end quite decisevly.

There is a clear improvement in player quality in my experience, after reaching better brackets. For me, going from 18 to 15 was a painful and often frustrating experience due to too many players basically just testing ranked battles without even trying to win or support teamwork. That is why it seems so much as the lottery. After rank 15 the situation improved notably. And after rank 10 even more. Try to advance and then reassess.your opinion. While setting proper rules & mechanics seems simple, as you can see from several responses it is very far from that. It is very hard to set rules that on one side work universally, promote skill, and cannot be "exploited" by some players.

First German BB Leak - STOP THIS PAPER "WHAT-IF" UPGRADE IDIOCY!
daki replied to 1MajorKoenig's topic in Battleships
First of all, I understand that as a non German I am not able to understand the reason for such amount of rage. If my national tree was so close to being released (which will never happen since I am in a continental country ), I would be happy. No matter the visual/historical deficiencies which get sometimes fixed overtime (as in WoT). -
Why not also put choice for best map? Lets look at the glass sometimes as half full, not always half empty

I would say that the only explanation is that you die to quick/often. While I would say that your damage is decent, do not underestimate the psychological effect when you die too quickly. Usually when death occurs (especially early game), there is a noticeable drop in more of the team, making it more likely to lose. Try to survive a bit more, and lets see if thing improve.
