Your winrate is yours and yours only. For no other reason than the fact that the only thing constant in a player's winrate across a sufficient number of battles is the player himself. Yes, game mechanics, teammates, enemies... do play a part of course so the winrate is never a 100% accurate indicator, nor predictor of outcome in a single match, but never forget that by far the main influence is how well you play on average. That is why I do not buy the logic that there are unlucky good players with bad winrates and lucky bad players with good winrates. To be more precise, you can be lucky or unlucky in say 10, 20, 50 or even a few hundred games. However, the more battles you play, less there is influence of luck on your winrate. To take you as example, since you have played more than 500 battles so far, the only thing I am 100% sure about () is that you are not a bad player who is very lucky. Your stats clearly show that you make a positive contribution on average to the victory of your team.

I personally believe that forum moderation is way too weak, and only occasionally do I believe that mods are doing their work as supposed. Too many useless repeat threads, too may insults and flaming posts being basically tolerated... A lot of what is going on here would never be tolerated in forums of some other titles. All in all, even when the actions are taken it is not that much a matter of "what" is being said but rather "how" it is being said.

Survivability is the most "overrated" stat in my opinion. Only very few players have high survivabilty which is well backed by other stats (winrate, dmg...) - you for example ;). Unfortunately I have seen too many players with good survivability which are just plain clueless campers. That's why I believe that KDR should not be in the first line of most important stats on the profile page. As we can see here on forums it just gives an excuse to selfish campers claiming being great players (because of KDR) which fail to win games because of: a. noob teammates b. WG matchmaking conspiracy (choose the favorite excuse )

First and foremost try to have fun as that is what games are for . Secondly as this is a team game, try to contribute to the team success as much as you can, and try not to play selfishly. Lastly, do not judge/blame others - try to learn from your own mistakes. If you can do the above, you are certain to be (or become) a very good player. If you are interested in specific stats (beyond the winrate), I would suggest to try: http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/14650-052-wowsstatinfo-extended-stat-info-for-official-wows-profile/ While being far from perfect due to limitations of available/accurate data, it does give some indication where you stand with respect to a rather large number of indicators. As an example, speaking only of winrates (without taking into account other indicators): <44.7% bad, 44.7-48.6% below average, 48.6-51.4% average, 51,4-55.9% good, 55.9-60% very good, >60% excellent

Fully agree. Despite some stupid marketing mistakes at the beginning, this is definitely in my opinion the best event in the game so far. Basically rewards everybody more or less depending on activity. Those who are ready to invest a rather small amount of time are even guaranteed a reward ship. Just weekly missions which can be easily finished in I guess about 2-3 hours, and give a total of 57 pearls per week. This basically means that even players say active on weekends only can get the top prizes. I really hope that this will become a permanent event with new ships and new rewards - it does't matter to me if its a re-skin or not. At least there are no balancing issues

Very nice! Good to see more community content. Keep up the good work

Do we really need this poll after so much discussion already about the R event??

That is some poor trolling mate. At least try to be more creative and inventive. Like this you just sound like an angry 10yr old kid. Though you probably are

Hahaha well said, I am glad that you know enough about stats not to really mean the pic you posted previously While seeming simple, stats tend to give a very wrong picture to those who do not understand how they work and how they are to be read (majority of population) - hence NO TO XVM!

Among other things, maybe because sometimes noob plays like a pro and pro plays like a noob? To be honest, I sometimes play like a brainless and skillless plankton, but so do you as well Hence your comments are besides being wrong imho also a bit hypocritical

Commendable effort MrConway

5th kind of players: Forum warriors - spend most of the time on forums while having a very small battle count. They tend to present themselves as "all knowing" and experts on WoWs, so they have to hide stats in order not to loose credibility.

Speaking of grinding pearls - if you even can call it "grinding" as you can get them in any case by normal playing - there is no point in stopping at 150 pearls, even if you could stop. At 250 pearls a player gets 1.000.000 credits reward so there is little sense in not getting the additional 100 pearls. Furthermore, as I understand the only way to fully stop getting them is to fully stop playing. Consequently the odds will be much much higher.

Your failure to answer my question and to provide an example on how the "hard way" approach improved the things here, just proves that it is by far the most failed approach in communicating with WGEU... But I do not expect you to understand that. You are too much invested in the "hard way".

Does it really? How can you honestly claim that taking into account the deteriorating situation?? As we have this "hard way" against WG staff here for months already, what is now better compared to before? After a certain point, harder you squeeze them more they blunder... simple as that (as in RL).

You almost nailed it. I do believe that WG EU is incredibly unprofessional and having very bad attitude to its playerbase - unlike for example WG RU who has quite close and overall helpful/friendly (with a few exceptions) relationship with playerbase on forums. In addition though, I believe that the playerbase in EU is not helping at all to solve the problem with the nature and tone of most popular and dominant posts. Taking into account the situation, the "who started it first and how" is a quite moot point now. The more we argue about things already said and done before, less likely anything will change. Speaking of "punishment", yes I believe that WGEU is doing it. Not directly or even consciously, but doing it nevertheless because of such a negative and insulting feedback. Lets be honest, I did it as well a few times in RL, as a human and normal reaction against insults when you can take it no more... Don't you all see how WGEU staff is less and less present here as they feel unwelcome? The solution is to bring back the dialogue and not to just escalate the problems.

As it even seems that one has to have now enough forum posts to have an opinion contrary to the so called "majority" on forums, I will express my 2 cents: 1. While no one likes servers being treated differently, its nothing new and I very much doubt that any type of "crapstorm" on forums will change that. We have so many "crapstormbringers" here spending more time on forums than playing a game with absolutely very little contribution (other than rage / whine / insults...) - hence in the end we as community are listened to less and less each day. 2. As usual, the way a lot of people are expressing their opinions here will not help raising awareness at all, just will give more arguments to some in WG to continue dismissing the feedback from "EU whiny little spoiled b*tches" - you are just supporting the position that no matter what rewards are given, EU will just whine and whine and rage and whine... 3. Most seem to forget that we are basically getting something in addition for just playing the game as usual (with a chance to even win a bigger prize in form of ship). Getting something is always better than getting nothing. In the end, this will be yet another thread where some good and constructive feedback (and criticism) is being drowned.

ZombieFX maybe you should do a bit more "research" before claiming something is "unrealistic". It would also help to use for research the ships and not cars To quote from http://blog.worldofwarships.com/full-speed-ahead/ ... World War II ships didn’t have active traverse thrust devices, and in fact could be operated only with the help of a common rudder, or blade. The force of this blade entirely depends on the water flow where the ship is moving. To cut a long story short, the rudder draws the mechanical trajectory and speed with which your ship will move along this trajectory and insignificantly affects the trajectory pattern. First of all, the rudder area, its position, hull lines and form all affect the values of tactical diameter — in other words, the 180-degree turning diameter of the ship relative to the initial heading. ...

Wow! The perfect combination of nickname, post content and being finally the fist post by user - For the most deserved -1 from me ever on these forums

Takeda, great work as usual with news from RU server! A lot of interesting info. Thanks a bunch mate and keep up the good work! +1

Nothing yet from WG, but I understand the community already has the option to change crew voices: http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/39798-sound-mod-creation-guide-052/

@Imply_tha_best April special last year with "space" ships

Well we had at one point the Enterprice in the game

By far the most "balanced" mission so far. Most importantly not promoting potentially negative playing style like some of the other missions. Well done indeed WG. We need more of such!

Please enlighten me, as I was many many times on test servers in both WoT and WoWs with EU tag and did not see more toxicity/TK compared to regular servers (there was even less tbh). Yes, there were always a few trolls from RU but there was also about the same amount of trolls from EU (or other servers). @OP +1 for the initiative my fellow Balkan dweller Please also stop with the political talk here on forums which are basically based mostly on the decades of brainwashing propaganda. This is not the place to discuss it on one side because its a game and on the other side because most of those having the high and mighty opinions are in fact completely clueless... Last but not least, the big "love" for the Russians is already more than enough felt with the contents and tone of thousands of insulting posts I had the chance to see here on forums directed against the devs - which would otherwise not be seen if the developer was from say US
