Exact Q&A, with RU source? Because if what you say is what was translated, I think the numbers might be wrong there

It's worth a shot

Source I know plenty of people who don't 'play' PVE at all. That includes me. Yes you can point to the battles I done in PVE, but that is not playing the game. That was 'learning' the game/new ship/carrier manual drop/getting rid of pink status. And I don't think there would be a group as large as 30% which only plays PVE.

This is the problem, different people have different opinions. As I said I would like a clean news thread, but there are some discussions about the news items I also like reading and which add to the news. On the other hand, there are many more which I don't think should be held in the news thread ( aka GE BB gun options, since that is already being discussed elsewhere ). Splitting off all off topic is not feasible to do for the moderators, the thread is to active and I don't want the moderators to be overburdened. The option of giving only Cartozenet and perhaps a few others who speak RU and who are doing translations, write access has crossed my mind more then once. But I don't think this is possible with current forum user management. Community contributors don't have special forum rights, and for almost all of them having those wouldn't give any benefits at all. If WG could give our community translators a special forum group ( doesn't even have to be visible, can be a hidden group ) and make a new 'News' section where they can post their translations and separate discussion topics in the regular forum which are linked from the news items.. Maybe I'm overthinking it though

You're constantly trying to pick ONE thing of what I said and twist that to not have to respond to the actual important parts. Historicity is not the goal of WoWs, not when it intervenes with the tier progression or game design. A WG staff member already hinted to maybe have historically accurate reenactments in PVE mode, where it doesn't mess with the overall game design as is. But please continue, I hope you expand a tremendous amount of effort into getting what you want thinking you might get it

It is against EULA to share accounts, letting your son play WoT on your account structurally would probably be considered as account sharing. And changing email doesn't work, because the login is based on your username. edit: what you could do is contact a community manager and talk with him about it. Maybe they will oblige in splitting the accounts, but I don't think a public thread will get you far in that regard.

The low tier BB's are also balanced to feel 'more demanding', WG has said this was intended to teach people that BB's are not the easy mode ships people might think. CA/CL's are meant to be the entry class, easy to learn and get decent results in, but hard to reach the skill ceiling. I see there are things which could make it more appealing for people to use stock hulls, but if that doesn't fit in the game progression it would do more harm trying to shoehorn it in. So, in order to satisfy your ( and mine! ) wish for historical battle reenactments to be possible in this game, I would sooner see it in a PvE mode where the AI is balanced against the ships as they were in those battles. I am worried about the rebalancing of low tier ( armored ) cruisers, I am worried about 'era specific tiering' not being feasible to balance in game correctly ( Myoko / Mogami in CBT should ring a bell ). In short: the changes needed to realize your wish for dreadnaught's to be viable in PvP battles ( oriented to those dreadnaughts ) make me very worried about the entire game. Not in the least because it means rather big changes, which can almost not be made in steps. It's like WoT, you would need a WoWs sandbox server to test changes this big, to get meaningful data on how those changes affect the gameplay. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe you can propose it in a manner where it would be feasible, but I don't think you've done this so far

The tier progression is per design, your proposal means changing it. A game which is already launched will never go through changes like you're proposing. You seem to want a game called 'Age of Dreadnoughts' not World Of Warships. The lower tier's might feel artificial, and for the German hull's there already is a discussion where it's explained why they have certain fictional upgrades ( just as we have 'paper' ships in lines to fill holes ). This is NOT a historical simulator, it is an arcade game. As such, there is more attention to in game balance and logical tier progression, then there is to historical accuracy. And that is a good thing, if you like WoWs, but maybe not if you actually want another game entirely. I understand you're not going to change your mind, I won't comment further on this as there is no point, I hope you won't be to disappointed in the end. They are competitive, because they already meet other stock ships alongside with upgraded ships but this is the same for each player. Luckily, any decent player will soon be able to upgrade to a more competitive configuration because on low tiers progression is really fast. The fact that you approach this game from a 'per ship' basis instead off a 'per player' basis, makes you think it's not fair, but it is. ps. For someone claiming others can use a lot of words but not say much, I would say you're making an accurate description of yourself.

Can you describe your play style? Which ships do you own and like, which don't you like? There can be no discussion about which is more fun for you when we don't know anything about you. Same applies with Silver income. I got Molotov, bought it on a whim, I'm not a bad player but I can't really get her to work for me. So I am not making the credits in her I know some other players are making. Also, you're watching picked Atago replays, the average credit income for Atago is way less. Don't forget even the best players have bad games. 800k is an exceptionally good game ( for almost everyone ). Only the top 1% of the server might get close to getting that credit income on average and even that is probably overestimating things.

I brought nothing new, but I posted a comment where I elaborate -> paradoxical isn't it Also, where did I say PVE historical battles wouldn't work? Seems to me you're not reading or understanding what I actually said, at all. I never said: give up. I said, considering the facts, it would be prudent to put your resources somewhere where they are most likely to pay off. Which would be thinking along the lines of historical PVE battles where you can use ships in era compliance configurations to play certain scenario's / historical battles. At least, that is what I would be doing, for reasons I explained already. The proposal to change the entire tier progression system has imho zero chance of being implemented. If a WG staff member posts he would rather think along the lines of XYZ, isn't it clear that the best bet you have to getting anything like original dreadnaught battles in the game is to follow up on his notion? You can't seriously expect WG to change the entire backbone ( tier progression ) of the game at this stage.

The guy above you has gotten the offer while already on premium time, so it seems to be possible to get it in both situations. I don't know the criteria used for the offers ( a good think I think, if that was public it would be exploited I fear ). I would assume it makes sense to 'bait' people who never used premium time by giving it for free, they notice the impact it has on their XP and credit gain, and they would be more likely to buy premium time in the future. But that's just an assumption, it's pulled from my ##### ;)

Thanks for confirming you should be ignored not tried to reason with.

No, Historical battles where PvP, which is why it failed because of the reason I explained above. Maybe respond to the entire post and not just one line? Would help to put things in perspective

Yubari is a large DD, put last stand on the captain to deal with knocked out modules ( yes, I use my IJN DD captains on her, not my CA captains ). With last stand it's playable, and frankly if I'm against a Phoenix or a Kuma I can knock their engine's out to ( especially with the new Nippon lasers ). I like this proposal because it would indeed return Yubari to the place where it can perform the role it was advertised for ( sky sweeper, I am pretty sure that was the 'catch phrase' used to sell her to the masses ). But the option to trade the current mediocre AAA for more guns is also appealing, a faster, more nimble Kuma with Nippon lasers would be a joy to play. Don't think it will happen though, so the addition of extra AAA consumables is probably the most feasible method.

But he is. I understand your drive, I would like some game mode where I can reenact actual historical battles, doesn't really matter if it's PvP or PVE to me ( but more likely PVE as most historical engagements were not 'a fair fight' and I would like to point out the failure of historical battles in WoT. No one wanted to play the 'bad' side, no one queued up in 'undertiered' tanks, everyone wanted to be the Jagdtiger or the TigerII, no one wanted to be T34. I don't want that repeated with WoWs, it would be a waste of resources. That being said, I feel you're better off thinking along the same line and making suggestion which are more readily applicable given the above post indicating another direction opposed to a complete tech tree overhaul / tier progression change. Just my

<offtopic> Why hide your account name? It's the same as on the forums, unless you're playing with an alt-account. </offtopic>

A tier 1 in a tier 6 battle is a fail division, don't compare me with that. Even St Louis shouldn't meet tier VI but I was in a division with a Phoenix/Kuma. Orlan has protected matchmaking, don't division the tier I training ships with ships from higher tiers please. Lower tiers the difference isn't as big, but from tier 8 up especially cruiser suddenly become more dangerous. Tier 9 and 10 cruisers also have a heal for instance. So yes, playing tier 8 can be a risk. I normally only play that tier if I think there are enough people online.

I agree, also, it's a user request ( which has been made before ) so everyone is free to ignore it A 'clean' Q&A thread would be very nice to have though, coupled with a discussion thread where everyone can talk about the last news items. I also go off topic, don't get me wrong, I'm not pretending to be a saint, but I also agree that this is one of the first threads I read when I log into the forums and that it is not always a positive experience because instead of new info I just see the same discussions as are being held in the other threads. Like all this talk about the gun options, it's also in many threads including one dedicated to the upcoming German BB's. I also seem to remember the moderators once already stating that there is no need for a separate thread if people can stick mostly on topic. The problem there is that 'mostly on topic' is a loose definition, and some people have lower thresholds for 'off topic-ness' than others. And, some of the discussions about the news items are actually at least as informative as the Q&A on it's own. But, a lot of the off topic is also constantly between the same people ( me included this time at least ). Might be better than to put the off topic's in a spoiler or something as to not clutter the thread, if one doesn't want to use a separate thread for it?

So you read Ev1n's post here and decided to ignore it

I sense you had one too many teams today with blue line huggers

I hope the mods clean this OFF TOPIC soonish, thread will be much cleaner..

So, all those good CV captains I know are actually playing a different game? One where they can still carry, not always, but often enough. And yes, I am talking about someone who thinks tier 8 is low tier /thread

I would say 2550 most likely

Ev1n already said he would rather just add an PVE mode so you can play your stock hulls there.

No, personalized offers from WG, including for some 7d free premium time or discounts on slots and the list goes on. Sadly, it seems the one's getting the free premium offer are mostly those who never used a premium account before ( so I am out, haven't gotten the offer ).
