Karkong_the_Impaler

Also, using artificially bloated stats to impress someone does only work if they don't double check. Solo, tier 10, minimum 100 games - that's telling. 90% win rate in your hermelin? not.

It's just like the "black hole" port to reduce the cryptomining going on in the background. It's as if it is hard to implement.

Nah, a forward observer - someone who allows artillery to be fired over the horizon - is a dedicated job, nothing you casually do while dogfighting. I believe having them slowly update positions on the minimap isn't anything but realistic. Yeah, arcade game, yadda yadda, but you've got it the wrong way around what is immersion breaking and counter-intuitive.

Not much.

I don't get what you are trying to say. PR consists of: rDmg = actualDmg/expectedDmg rWins = actualWins/expectedWins rFrags = actualFrags/expectedFrags I see no influence from: exp gained percentage based damage different tiers direct influence of in game actions such as capping - indirectly it's included via the rWins value

Well, we don't know the contract, right? Maybe it has a clause that allows them to do so? Yes, it's crap and look what happened: outrage, to everyones surprise! No one could have guessed. Can't say why anyone would rather have this than just give out a few dubs and be done with it - they can literally give everyone one billion dubs and it would cost them exactly nothing, because it's an entirely artificial economy, designed to make morons believe buying a "ship" is worth a hundred €. But all this frothing for this non issue... there are way more important reasons to do so in my opinion. (PS: Not saying you shouldn't buy anything from WG, they have to keep the server up and pay for the guy who invented supershit CVs - just always understand you're being milked. And don't spend money you don't have)

You understand that PR is a worthless stat, then you ignore it and play to win and suddenly PR increases, too. For example Yamato and Shikishima. If you play shiki, you have to deal more damage because - on average - the Shiki players are more competent and deal more than the - again average - yamato players. Even though it's basically the same ship. So similar that people recommend against getting shiki because of that. (I feel there are a lot of differences, but I disgress) Or compare radar Mino which kills DDs and wins the game to a smoke camping Mino. Who does more damage and thus has a higher PR? Also, why do you need a high PR? A high win rate I can understand, who doesn't want to win - to increase that stat, you just have to go sealclubbing with a tryhard division. And last but not least, no one cares about pseudo stats anyway. If you want to see competence, check the player, check his tier 10 games, filter for at least 100 games played (if available) and when in doubt check for solo games. Unfortunately wows-numbers doesn't filter for age of the data, but that bit of research is a much better indicator for competence than anything else available at the moment.

So, someone tries to make a deal but doesn't go through with it at the last possible moment, for more or less valid or even absurd reasons. I take it that no one involved is an employer and also never tried to sell something on ebay. Yeah, sucks. So what?

Well, to the contrary, I believe this is very much fitting. WG gacha department just tries to abuse the fact that Greece has a history of overspending on their navy... On a more serious note, national pride is not to be underestimated in this game, surely some whales which can afford - or some skinny dolphins, which can't - will go for it. I don't mind the whales going for their annual grindarap, it's the poor and the stupid which I pity.

Are you aware of the fact that anyone can see your stats and how they are derrived? And even if it weren't seal clubbing in a tryhard division - it still does not give you the right nor the moral high ground to insult other players. Even less so when your own competence is questionable.

Actually I'm so saturated with supershits, submarines and CVs, I'd pay for a "super premium" account where I don't meet these. I wonder why whe can't, that would be true to the old adage - create a problem, monetize the solution.

Some people need a team to carry them, some don't realize they can turn off the chat completely and some only play coop for.. fun? Whatever floats your boat man. Just saying I couldn't do this. Last thing I leveled was Vermont. I just put on the best exp flags and tried to play to the best of my ability and I don't think this took too much time - because I had fun playing Minnie, so I didn't have to manage my time in the first place. I also refuse to do bovine excrement just because there is some carrot dangling. I don't grind RB points, I just use free exp, I only do brawls when they're fun and if something is not enjoyable, I stop doing it. I once asked clan mates to div up only to get answered that they'd rather play the seal clubbing tiers because they positively have RB points grind, even if it's atrocious. And for what? Just to have another Tier 10 ship they either don't play or they suck with, because they don't play it? Also playing a new tree is slowly bringing you up to speed on how the ships play and random teach you, at least partially, what works and what doesn't. Coop only promotes stupid play, there is very little to learn here, nothing useful when you take your soon to be port queen for the first time out in the wild. Unless your game is just to have these ships in your port - I'm not judging, but I can't understand why anyone would do this.

For the love of gods, please stop playing supershit CVs. You're going to get them buffed! Also it's despicable.

It's probably cheaper, too.

Ah well, can't see what this thing is bringing to the table - and with supershits, T9 is the new T8. So sad I'll have to continue playing the superior Colbert while having endless fun hosing down everyone with the golden shower of love and casually deleting DDs. Damn, I just wish I had a worse ship to play where I also would have to spend dubs on.

Nah man, CVs were obnoxious the very second they were introduced and still are. Also, all the issues on your list were relevant issues, no matter how bad the playerbase was/is. Just look at Kamikaze now - all japanese DDs were like that! Remember tier 10 battles in the early days with the sheer amount of migraine sticks in the water. Or RTS CVs cross dropping and murdering people with even more impunity than today. HE spamming cruisers - you think Smolensk wasn't an issue? The Commander skill rework harnessed that a bit The compaints always add up to 100%. If there is no issue, people would complain about the weather. That just doesn't mean the complaints aren't justified. The weather can be bad, even if it's a potato on the forum who says so.

We've noticed.

It's for coal later on?

Even if they would triple the exp, that atrocious snorefest would melt my brain in short order. I cannot understand how anyone can repeatedly suffer this. In operations, bots at least do things differently than run at you bow in.

Literally the last three random matches. That's also a way to balance CVs - at a certain competence level you are barred from playing them. They flew around, weren't really effective, once in a while you got to dodge some bombs or shoot down some planes, all in all not much of a hasle. The Haku tried putting interceptors down which was nice, if ineffective and some CVs I never even noticed on my flank. This is what CVs are balanced for.

@Seraphice Care to comment?

Fixed it for you No seriously - thanks. This CV... entertainment has gone on long enough. Removing the spotting will be so much of a relief, the other issues will be ignored for... at least a month.
