He thinks Fuso is fat....? she is lean compared the the fat lady Nagato

Hi guys, I for one am getting a bit sore about the sheer number of people complaining about matchmaker... Rogdogde has closed yet another butt hurt thread, so as requested here is a nice thread about how MM isn't actually 'that' bad, all the time.... First some basics..... MM is based on a +/- 2 Tier spread, subject to the following amendments... So if you are in a Tier 4 Carrier or Battleship, with the exception of the Impregnator then you will see only a max of +1/-2 tier, this is complicated when you take a Tier 4 BB in with a Tier 4 Cruiser as this will then open up the said Tier 4 BB/CV to T6 MM as cruisers get +/-2..... So if you are going to play in a division with a T4 BB, best to take a T3 Cruiser or match ships as per the table above... If you still feel you are getting a hard run of MM then here is an easy solution... get a pad, and each game mark down your tier out of max tier... ie 4/5 etc.... After 10 games or so you will begin to see that MM is NOT in fact against you, but we are inherently programmed to remember the bad things that happen to us, and not so much the good.... Just remember that MM cannot always be bad for everyone all the time....so chins up guys, feel free to post your 'good' MM screens here.....

Just noticed signature... Friendly torps aren't... should be permanently thrust up on screen every time a Cruiser/ DD player presses battle button ;)

I would have hoped that the vast majority of the really great guys from this group would shame the 'minority' into better behaviour, unfortunately the vocal minority will always out voice the silent majority... takes a few bad eggs to cause major ruptions and many more reasonable voices to remedy it...

Sorry to offend your sensibilities MTM... but I am stating 'facts' here, ALL the 'people' who have trolled forum and me in game 'HAVE' been from one Nation only,and I have blocked everybody who has caused grief to me, so gradually I see less and less....simple really..... Have bolded your pertinent points, and TBH MTM I couldn't really care less if you 'gave' me the benefit of your doubt... who empowered you with forgiveness? Have I mentioned a Nation? Nope just stated a fact that 100% of the problems I am facing are incoming from individuals, within ONE particular national group of players... simple... What I posted was a straight forward explanations as to why I snubbed a very friendly guy in game, not a soapbox for YOU MTM to get involved in something that is WAY more serious than your limited knowlege would allow you to understand.... When a group of 'people' take a 'game' so seriously that they will resort to hunting down a player, in unrelated forums.... those meant to act as a support for sufferers of a quite nasty disease, and state that they hope that I die slowly and painfully from it, and having had THAT organisation BAN the offender.... there is a real problem of 'reality going on here....

Hey buddy, sorry I was a bit blunt, but as BW said above been having some 'issues' with in game and on forum trolling... your VERY friendly hiya cherry was the next battle directly after I had to add another 3 people from a 'certain' nation onto my in game chat blacklist, now it's up to 55 people all funnily enough same nationality... so very very sorry bro.... say hi next time and will be very very friendly to ya !

It is sheer hell at the moment

Same issues, same GFX card.... AMD were aware of an issue with early Crimson drivers mis reporting temps and fan speed etc... hotfix has solved my problems this end... hope it helps OP. http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMD-Radeon-Software-Crimson-Edition-16.1-Hotfix-Release-Notes.aspx Also what brand of 390X... only reason is that my MSI Gaming 8G had zero TIM on the chip... read ZERO from the factory.... used some of this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Antec-Nano-Diamond-Thermal-Compound-Formula/dp/B004AGXHDC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1459081548&sr=8-3&keywords=diamond+thermal+compound and temps were down by 30 degrees in all uses..... seems certain 'quality' brands, are not such great QC at all, after all.... Another thing that we noticed when using later Radeon GFX on WoWs is that the DX9 performance on 'newer, cards is not as great as earlier dedicated DX9 chips..... seems to hit the GPU quite hard on WoWs.... found that using Afterburner http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/msi-afterburner-beta-download.html and making several changes (after the 16.1 hotfix)Like this -----> Upping the Power limit, by 5% seems to give the DX9 portions enough extra headroom to stop the small glitches and issues that were going on before... card only accesses the extra power if it needs it so no damage done.... also look at your fan profiles as the stock ones don't really kick in until relatively high temps are already in force, these are no louder than stock (well not noticable anyway) this setting seems an ideal balance of noise / performance -----> Hope some of this helps you out OP

Dasha is soon to be our mascot

Fantastic idea... Dasha is kinda... ummm... desirable? that the right word? Nice idea for uniform ... maybe?

Well it is nice to hear someone talking about something positive.... glad you like the NC more now and good luck sailing in her !

Troll got Trolled

anchor (n.) Old English ancor, borrowed 9c. from Latin ancora "anchor," from or cognate with Greek ankyra "anchor, hook" (see ankle). A very early borrowing and said to be the only Latin nautical term used in the Germanic languages.

funny that Hanze.... just played 1st 2 games... engine taken out 9 times in course of 2 battles by Bogatir's and Kumas...... would work better as a static fort by the looks of it....

Funny that as most of the people I see happy with the status quo are like me, not 60% 10xp avg players but mid range players with around 1000 avg xp... Think your level of butt hurt at being carried by the likes of us are patently over powered.... Learn to play the game before demanding massive changes to the way it is set out.....

Or crapping itself in anticipation of the swarm that will be Russian Cruisers........

Says it all really.....

Ummmm... no thanks here ..... this one is a lost cause IMO

That problem is NOT MM, it's the fact that Shamakaze is easy (relatively) to get to and easy to play.... so loads of people have it, all want to play it so most of high tier DD in Queue are Shimas.... until WG batter Shima with Nerf Bat there aint nothing that MM can do to counter the Shima plague....

OK Roberto, lets follow your logic to the end of its' line... MM is based on skill, so a great player takes a tier 5 DD is he always to be bottom tier in every game against Tier 7's? This is fine up to the point where his levels roll back to lower amounts then he is always seeing 6's, then 5's..... and the cycle repeats.... OR everyone gets to the 'theoretical balance point' ie 50%.... then all players are matched in the same pot and then you have similar situation to where we are now... aka random MM.... OR Terrible players will be waiting inordinate lengths of time for a battle, due to not enough players at their level to make a game... Excellent players will be waiting inordinate lengths of time for a battle, due to not enough players at their level to make a game... Terribles and Excellents will become bored/ disillusioned and leave the game, then all the medians, will be in one pot and then you have similar situation to where we are now... aka random MM.... AND All players playing against same level of skill will never learn to get better, unless of course you live in one of those utopian societies where there are no winners or losers .... just taking part is enough..... MM is fine as it stands, players can be morons, but MM is fine !

As it stood during CBT and early open etc... Cleveland would have needed to be moved to T7 or even 8... Shell arc is now just the only weakness in a very very capable ship... Citadel is still tiny in comparison with other cruisers, the RoF and fire chance are still huge at its tier... If you can't play a Cleveland effectively then you really will struggle with any other ship in game...

Forget the turret losses, had a game late last night in my Nagato, being hounded by a Mahan firing HE from max range.... had Rudder on Nagato knocked out 6 times in the course of one battle..... all from DD HE..... so would have happily taken a turret loss just to be able to use repair for fixing the fire damage.........

pop into the new TS details are at the top.... see you soon !

So having played a few this is by far the way ships whould be played, so I wondered if anyone else had slight 'issues' with the short daily duration of the mode?

Which in WoT actually proved good fun... Especially if the teams were well matched...
