    What rank are you?

    17 gave up after going back three stars in one session. Sometimes you get a great team who makes plans and actually sticks to them, more often or not you get a team that makes plans then has players go different ways. Or teams that are completely silent until they lose and then start whining about other people. It was a nice way to get flags but quite dull over the same maps with the same ships.

    Drop from 60 to 15 FPS

    It happens occasionally for me, usually for one map rotation and everyone else experiences it. Essentially your framerate gets capped at 15FPS. I suspect, since its usually only lasts for one map its caused server side and also restarting the client and rejoining the match doesn't fix it. It's not a new problem had it for some time now.

    Some interesting info around the world

    Thanks for the updates, would be nice to see this information posted by WG staff on the main page and game launcher but I understand how difficult it is for WG EU to, you know, actually do some work.
  4. Quoting out of context there MTM78, I was referring to Wave's post about mixing up people with low win rates and high win rates. I've gone through this on WoT before with the XVM muppets, those who complain their team is full of low win rate players then rush off and die like scrubs and spend the next 10 minutes whining in chat. Meanwhile the team wins despite supposedly having worse players than the other team. So yeah, in grand scheme of things win rate means very little when it comes to balancing matches. It's more important getting the ship balance correct. Also I didn't say you stat pad but your high win rate didn't help us win the other night when our team went full on lemming train (Herring train maybe?) and left us on the flank alone.
  5. The fuss about invert mouse is some of us have been using it for nigh on 25 years. The problem with not having it is when you go into a game it takes a little bit of time for your brain to adapt to it. When you leave WoWs to play, I don't know, pretty much any other game you have the same disorientation going into that game. Considering how easy it is to implement into the game, the fact it is in their other games it should be a no-brainer. Then again people need to remember that WoWs technically isn't the same developer as the rest of WG games, it's done by a tiny almost unknown developer.
  6. Should do, then again they may want to sell some port slots in a bundle before release!

    Sigh

    That's kinda what he means by ethical, removing an item from sale and then bundling it with another item to up the price is not ethical. Ethics is a case of right or wrong conduct at its most simplest. WG are practising price gouging, which is agreed to be unethical. Generally you don't pay for unlimited calls or texts these days on phone contracts, most of the money from your contract goes into paying for the phone and in the event you don't want unlimited minutes there are a fairly large number of options from multiple companies offering this. As for the 3 for 2, bulk buying is always cheaper, not entirely sure what the issue is there. Bringing capitalism into this is irrelevant and the recent people on low incomes don't get credit is because they can't pay it back. It's not "rich" people its your working middle class who are the people who essentially pay for most government services who use credit. "Rich" people don't need credit, because, duh, they are rich. But again, irrelevant to the conversation. I will not buy a package, I don't need a package. I have a premium account already. I have doubloons I can't use, doubloons I purchased on the basis there would actually be able to purchase ships in game. Most people don't really give a crap about bundles, they want the ship to be sold individually and also to be sold in game. In this particular case they removed the ship from sale, in order to promote their bundle. It's not good for the game in the long run when everyone thinks your company is run by a bunch of [edited].

    The truth behind WG sales

    Quoted out of context there I think. WG says bundles are for new players or aimed at new players. I say it's more likely people already playing are more likely to invest in the game by buying ships. I doubt very much a new player is going to play a few matches on the Erie then fork out £40 AAA money for a ship. If you look at the huge price difference in ships versus tanks WoWS pricing is bordering on the ridiculous. Shame you can't give away Premium tanks, I have a garage full of things and never play anymore.

    The truth behind WG sales

    The fact they removed the ship and added a bundle pisses me off to be honest. It just underhand, sort of something you would get from a used car salesman called Tony. (PS I bought the ship by itself). Not to mention it completely disregards community opinion. Even WG's beloved contributors are saying it is a crap thing to do. It's fairly bloody obvious what you should do. There is nothing wrong with selling them as a bundle (although I doubt very many new players will be buying high priced introductory bundles). You should be able to buy them: Ship and port slot alone Ship only from ingame. Currently I have doubloons and I have only four choices ingame to spend the doubloons on. The current "its a rare and magical thing" is bollocks, removing them from sale to gouge more sales is bollocks. In fact there is more bollocks coming from WG these days than a Kangaroo coin purse factory.

    The Colorado... seriously?

    Think I originally posted the Colorado sucked, but with the recent buff and upgrades she is performing quite well. The fact she was able to knock out two squadrons of IJN torpedo bombers out of the sky before they could drop torps makes me love her even more, in fact that match I killed 30 planes which was almost the entire complement of the enemy carrier.

    Worst Ship Fuso

    Fuso is great, even stock and despite lacking in range in speed she is a great ship. In fact stock she has a better dispersion than when upgraded meaning more hits on target.

    Possible Free ship for the EU

    I emailed them again this morning so will see. Other option is to ask one of us here in the UK to get the magazine for you and PM the codes. Don't think the magazine is particularly cheap though, on the plus side the ship is one of the better premiums.
  13. LMN118

    Fed up of noobs and Afkers

    More pointless whining, I mean it's like you have never played an online game before and I am betting you are one of those toxic people who starts whining right at the start of the match and then doesn't stop. Much like the muppet earlier on this morning, where 50% of the team dies within the first few minutes, all our cruisers and destroyers and then the cruisers spend the rest of the match whining at the battleships being terrible.

    Duel purpose as AA?

    Or nothing happens because AA gun fire is completely random.
  15. It's your PC. Random crashes are usually down to heat. If you are 100% sure your PC is not heating up, then you have other issues most likely memory but it could easily be the CPU, GPU, PSU or mobo. Yes you guessed it pretty much anything. Nobody can help you because you will need to test each component out with a known working one. The fact you switched OS is probably nothing more than coincidence. I thought much the same when WoWs started crashing for me but it turned out to be the recent hot weather causing my northbridge and VRM's to overheat.

    Possible Free ship for the EU

    The first one I got was pretty much next day, been waiting a few days for my second one now, was going to stick it on the spare account with the Aurora. It is possible they ran out of codes, so a physical copy of the magazine may be needed.
  17. Storm damage anyone? Would beat the current clock time out. A storm is rolling in "X" minutes, when it hits all ships take damage over time until a team wins.

    Murmansk

    They changed the Lowe as well, in fact they have changed every other premium tank at some point or other sometimes with notification sometimes by stealth. As for software licensing, one can hope that will change in the near future. It is not very consumer friendly. It is the equivalent of buying a piece of art and having the artist coming around and changing it or taking it back because...reasons. Oh and the EULA, means absolutely nothing if it can be proved it tries to trump statutory law.
  19. LMN118

    What ships do you not want to see in future patches?

    Blueprint and pub designs to be honest. In fact if they absolutely have to be in the game then they should be added last after the other tech trees are in. Not a big fan of the tech tree for ships, would prefer it to be like the War Thunder tech tree where you unlock each type so rather than grinding out a different hull upgrade you would do the whole ship with that upgrade. Would hopefully eliminate going into a tier 8 battle with no AA.
  20. Think its too early to [edited] about the game failing. I have around 119 days left on Premium and I will decide then about leaving. I left WoT/WoWp for WT some time ago as generally its a better game (same backwards PR crap though). The game is lacking...lots even compared to early days WoT although obviously it does look a lot better. The main problems I find with WG is their development time table is incredibly slow for a fairly large developer. An example of this is not just content but bug squashing. They still haven't patched out bugs introduced with the last patch. They've also struck creative bankruptcy, the tech tree might have worked with WoT but doesn't gel for ships where there were such a large variety of ship classes. Your comparing a company such as WG which is a developer/publisher (or indie as some people say) with mainly publishers and you shouldn't expect companies to continually fronting services for products that are not selling anymore. BF4 had problems but it never BSOD my machine once or on the Xbone and in fact a lot of those issues were inflated by the playerbase. Weather effects would be nice. MM needs some work. Win rate is irrelevant and only relevant in game balancing terms to those who think its important and stat pad it. I don't see the point of customisation to be honest it would be fairly limited, about all you could do is have more choice with camouflage patterns and colours and maybe choose a country specific flag for yourself. They can play because of divisions and its the same problem in WoT and WT not yet checked out AW yet.
  21. 6 or 7 I think. I started a new account at the weekend for the Aurora and it was horrific. Weekend game play is just... Unfortunately WG games are often about frustration than fun. Like hunting through piles of feces to find treasure. Occasionally you find a gem but mostly you are just covered in crap. I find the Pensacola to be a good ship once you have the extra guns from the hull upgrade.
  22. If they can't handle criticism for doing a bad job then they are in the wrong job. They should try working in the real world if that is the case. By not making an attempt to do their jobs they are not exactly helping the situation. But sure I'll happily move to the NA, accounts are transferable right? So I can move all my premium tanks and ships right over?
  23. I've had this since the game went Open beta. I cannot use the control key for anything like mouse cursor, map ping, set targets. It occurred after setting key bindings. Will try the preferences delete. Nice to know they fixed this bug upon release Shouldn't really be too surprised since they haven't inverted the mouse yet, such a huge complication for them.
  24. Issues with the EU portal as far as I can see: Community news, patch notes are never or rarely up to date. Yet the Asian Region is, and is in English. Community events/specials are lackluster boring and their have been no news relating to specials (it was good of the staff to arrange them in the forum but without pushing them to the client or main page not many would have seen them). Premium shop is very poor for the EU, ships missing, ships only being sold with packages the majority of people don't want. No ships in the client so doubloons are a waste of money. Little in the way of community interaction from WG staff, and when you do see it, it's either I don't know, I'm too busy or just defensive. Suggestions for a better community service: Work harder. Work smarter. Understand we are customers and we really don't give two shits about excuses. Spending your time running around in a silly van for a tiny proportion of the gaming community doesn't justify ignoring the community as a whole. I do agree with Shepbur above, I hate these companies that use the player base to do their jobs for them (contributors, moderators, bitches). The job is on the WG staff and it is the one they are being paid to do. People complain because the service is poor, people complain because WG service in EU has consistently been poor since WoT was released. A few years ago? What are you talking about? Decades? It's about customer service, it's about showing the people who pay your salary that they and their time is important. That's their job, if they can't do it they made the wrong career choice. Then again looking at the number of vacancies WG has makes me wonder if quite a few employees have already done that. When they do their job well they will get respect. Respect is earned not something that should be expected because they have that job. The game was just released, but it had been in closed beta and Alpha before that. The problems persist, and it is not just limited to Warships. Doesn't work like that. You have X amount of players at any one time, regardless of the special those players will either choose to buy it or not. In fact you want players to buy early because more than likely they will leave in a week or a month so you need to get them to spend money ASAP. Unfortunately they are using Warships to fleece the player base you only need to look at the pricing and they way ships are being marketed. We, EU, had the Tirpitz package yet NA can buy just the ship. They brought back Warspite but again in a silly package.
  25. A number of which were left in a better state than when the British arrived. Sorry can't stand apologists who don't understand that world conquest was the norm, regardless of who did it and had been for thousands of years.
