Your developers also thought that "deadeye" is an excellent idea, or allowing 2x Ryujo on T8-T10 CB maps with T6 ships... I could go on... Testing is nice and dandy but shouldnt player-data/feedback decide if a mode is successfull or not? But yea, I definitly would be interested how your decision-making-process works. I know. Fair enough. Well, I dont have hopes at all. But tnx for forwarding it.

It's a tricky situation with new modes - they're new and shiny when we introduce them for the first time. But they can get old quite quickly and we want to have variety in game. Maybe some of them will be successful enough and fit the game well enough to establish themselves next to the other permanent modes. If you implement them as events, they naturally wear off quite fast, since you play in events always the same mode. So how will you / how do you measure "successful"? IMHO you can only get a biased measurement (statistically) from event-gamemodes. While your talking about "getting quite old": We have no new maps since... 19 Months? We have no new game-modes (in random) since... actually I dont know... 3 years maybe? So what is actually stopping you from implementing f.e. "arms race" for ~5% of the time into random... its definitly better than having Islands of Ice thrice in a row!

The problem with all the game modes is, that nothing of it ever makes it in the core game. Just another event... While Im all in to test new modes.... its just time limited and never seen again. Why not have an arms race all 20 Battles or so?

Is this exploit working?

Is this an answer or an add?

Less Moo-ing, more paying! Off to your stable!

Boring. Dont get me wrong, I dont like Lootboxes and that stuff.... But on the other hand I think the game has bigger problems than lootboxes... but thats me, not paying WG a cent since Moskva Gate.

Agreed. After that vigilance isnt bad f.e. if you have trouble with ´pedos. I dont think the turret rotation Skill is worth it on GER BBs. Personally I enjoy SiS on my ITA-BBs

Here an Idea for a standard tanky GER 14Pt captain... you could build upon it.

That doesnt mean you cant get more out of a 17pt captain with a respecc. Just do it. If you dont like it you can respecc again. Im doing the Same with my ITA-BB-Captain and Yolo-Captain... now is a good time to try stuff. You dont need a 21Pt Captain. I played last CB-Season with a 16 Pt. Monty Captain... was good enough for Typhoon. You can demount Mods for free, too atm.

Agreed. So far I only met 2 Sub-players that cheesed (or were able to) the living shi+ out of that class. The rest of them were rather useless.

Gebt dem Druck von Idioten nicht nach, auch wenn sie euch beschimpfen (hab ich oft genug gemacht und es immer bereut). Ägir (links von mir) will, dass ich in B pushe... spitzen Idee!

I tested them. 1. I agree, I learned the basic mechanics/contols in Coop, but thats really all you can learn there. 2. I know, but it just dont work. Imho it would have been better to give a coupon for a rent time of 24hrs which refreshes half a week, maybe? So you can decide when you want to use them. Having only 24 hrs stopps them from cloggin the MM queue too much on weekends. 3. Smaller Maps? Its the same maps as usual and in bronze its fine, but in silver its already islands of ice ´nuff said. 4. Ah, you stayed in bronze? I went up to silver and I could use them at R10 - 8 and R6 - 7 all other Ranks would be just gimping myself. ( I like winning a lot) Atm Im in qualification for Gold. I can test them for 24 hrs but getting Matches takes forever... sadly.

No win, but a funny foto-story. Read the Chat: (The Ägir to the left wants me to go into B) Sure, why not push in a Brindisi, Riga, Ägir and an unknown DD! Perfect plan! An other player is chippin in the hate Train. Well, I never got an apology, first time for everything... (its from the second player).

The whole Idea of getting Subs in lootboxes for rent is idiotic: 1. How am I supposed to learn Subs in Coop? There is nothing to learn. 2. Why cant I decide when I want to play Subs? 3. Why would I play a class I am yet learning in a "semi/pseudo-competitive" environment? 4. Why would I play them in any match other than on a safe rank? I.E. Why risk loosing a star while playing a sub, while you could safe /win the game in any other class. So personally I hope that I get subs at the start of a sprint or derp-around in qualification. As a result Im not testing subs at all.

Why do you take no concealment at all? No wonder you have a hard time to disengage when you are visible from the moon.... Running no-conceal builds is extremely hard in this meta, wouldnt recommend. What is your plan with this build anyway... obviously its not secondaries. Maybe respecc the captain, its free right now. Especially get rid of all those 1-pt skills and invest into smth more useful. Free up 4 points there and then take concealment both in Skills as in 5th module slot. This should help you in beeing more survivable.

Wenn das ganze Team auf den roten DD wartet und er tatsächlich um die Ecke kommt....

Hauptgrund: Ich glaub 26 Siege in Gold einfahren ist leichter als Silber R1 zu machen.

Tashkent carry... even if dmg doesnt look that much.... solo-killed 2 DDs tho..

You are right! Bayern is an excellent sealclubber. Forgot about it...

Ich hab bisher vielleicht 2-3 Subs gesehen die wirklich gut waren und die Mechaniken ohne Ende abusen wie z.B. point blank Torps auf DDs. Der Rest ist harmlos und noch am lernen. Das Problem ist die Mietdauer/Mietzeitpunkt: Wenn ich nicht gerade auf einem sicheren Rang bin, nehm ich doch keine Klasse von der ich kaum Ahnung habe und dadurch nicht viel zum Sieg beitragen kann oder sicher den Stern verliere. Das allermindeste was getan werden muss, ist den Subs eine Scharfschalt-distanz wie allen anderen Torps zu geben. WG hat das wahrscheinlich nur nicht gemacht, weil sie keinen Plan haben wie sie das auf Tiefe 3 darstellen sollen. Nebenbei: Wo sind eigentlich die "Goldjungs"? Ich bin in der Quali aber es dauert ja ewig ein Gefecht zu finden.

Hindenburg, Mainz, Schultz are great, too. Siegfried is still a great ship... just wait until you one-shot your first Sinop. You´ll love it. It still holds my furthest one-shot of all cruisers (unsurprisingly): A Charles Martell at 21km (spotter-plane-shot).

The only real lie in ranked is: "Timely limited for better Matchmaker performance!" MM is the same as always and if PPL had the opportunity to play ranked in the morning, they would.

It just shows how desperate WoWs needs ingame (forced) tutorials....
