Maybe, just maybe, someday... you know..

30% which plays both, not 30% which plays PVE only But even then you're right

You forgot Marblehead

If you're a not so competent player it is harder to get a good economic result. Just as in real life, if you don't do that well at school, you shouldn't expect to land a fortune-500 kind of salary. Don't really see the issue there, Also, this isn't pay2progress, it's pay2progress_FASTER. And that's intentional and perfectly fine. If you don't want to fork out some cash for premium time / ship. fine you can still play and get ALL in game content ( except premium ships ofc ) you just need to play more. Panocek, on 13 July 2016 - 12:30 PM, said: Without something forcing players to play midtiers, everyone would play their Yamatos and whatnot, therefore MM would struggle to pull up a match for newer players making their way in game. The same applies in WoT. Nah, I don't like tier X gameplay, doesn't involve economy at all it's the static gameplay. I know I'm not alone in this.

Ace_Rimmer01, on 13 July 2016 - 01:57 PM, said: I think the only time it is likely to materialise is when WG looses a substantial number of players who only play PvE and have gotten tired of the same old treatment, if I remember correctly all the recent events we have had are PvP only. I get that WG want to steer players to PvP but the fact is a good number just aren't interested and if WG want's to keep these people then they need to begin catering for them. Some PvE content would definitely help WG retain a decent proportion of players. 30% plays PVE or a mix of PVE and PVP, don't overestimate their numbers or importance. And if WG says they are working on things, I would like people to assume they are not lying.

Adapt your playstyle to the team rosters, even -2 CA can kill enemy DD or CA ( with support ), and burn BB's. Don't be the 'front' guy, don't pay attention to those who seem to think that -2 ships are to be used as 'scouts' for the rest ( even though you will be in trouble if your team is full off stupids which all snipe at their max range, as -2 you will lack range to be effective in those engagements ). There is absolutely nothing wrong with +-2. infact it adds tactical depth to the game, it pays off to have situational awareness more if there are different 'threat levels' in play.

QQ much? +-2 MM is fine.

My most glorious moment was killing a Fuso with a St Louis ( yes, I was in a +-1 division ). He just ignored me, until I started to get more and more fires going on him and eventually he just had no heal or repair available and I got an arsonist ribbon. Feels good beating the odds Off course, that doesn't mean I would think St Louis should go 1v1 Fuso's whenever they meet them, but this +-2 MM spread is not the problem.

I hope you won't have to do that long, as you're probably accumulating plenty of AFK/BOT reports and will soon be banned

Zao is the best CA in the game, but Moskva is a close second. The Ibuki is not as good as Dimitry Donsky if you'd ask me, and Chapayev is Kutuzov's smaller sibling. I would give the tier 8+9 to VMF and tier X to IJN. And chosing between the premiums, don't get me wrong, is an odd question. Both have their merits, but it would be senseless to buy Atago when you're only going to grind VMF or Kutuzov when you will only grind the IJN ( though, these premiums do have very specific roles, Atago is the best tier 8 CA for randoms, great stealth ( it can stealth torp if you fully upgrade her and put a captain with CE on her ) and plenty of punch, but not so good AAA. Kutuzov would shine in an escort role in organized battles ( TB's/RB's ) since it has ludicrous AAA but worse concealment and punch.

USN CA's poor AP? Lol USN AP has gotten a massive normalization buff and are much better capable of penetrating angled armor then IJN AP.

Team battles are restricted in time because of the special MM which is aimed at preventing any chance of rigging ( you should not meet the same enemy team during the same session ). If you wouldn't restrict them in time, enforcing this MM rule would be very very hard ( edit: if not impossible.. most likely impossible ). You're right on the rest though which is why I said it doesn't take away from the playerbase, Bastion is 'random' and random queue is random queue

Meh yeah you did reply normally, but that still doesn't make it a conversation. The request you're making is just not feasible and pursuing this topic further will just convince me you were not serious from the start. Because if you were/are, you would actually pay more attention to the counterarguments presented to you. The current Karma system is NOT suitable for basing access to game modes on. There is no discussion possible beyond that point, unless it is about 'fixing' the Karma system. And good luck with fixing the Karma system, it is intrinsically flawed when it relies on player input. Play well, citadel some poor bloke who doesn't know not to broadside to a BB -> bye karma points! Not only because enemy will give negative ( becus he citadelled me and he was cheating !!!!!oneoneeleven!!! ), but also because those on your team who died hopelessly and were pinging you on the map saying you should have done this or that ( and generally these are sub 53% players I will NOT take tactical or strategic gameplay advice from as a rule, there are exceptions but generally I tend to 'know better' myself ), those people who SHOULD all give you a 'plays well' compliment giving you + Karma for carrying them to a victory, they don't. People who reguraly win matches for the other players in their team should have TONS of Karma from all the compliments. But they don't. Instead, people who talk a lot and are seemingly 'popular' will get massive Karma. Even I once had a quite high one, until I found I was being boosted by friends who in each battle they saw me gave me their Karma points. I don't want Karma that way, but I also can't take Karma seriously when 'plays well' gives + Karma but isn't given when it should, and all the 'plays poorly' reports I make don't give negative Karma. The Karma system has a use, it allows me to report someone and vent some steam in a manner which doesn't bother anyone. But that's it, sadly

So you feel the OP ... ow wait.. you're the topic starter...

People say it's bad, it's performing below the other tier 8's afaik but the difference isn't that big at all. But if you ask me, yes I will say it's terrible. Why you ask? Well because I played 155 with the old captain skills ofc, and back then it was really really good. Too good probably. So, compared with that, yes it's currently 'terrible'. But you should be able to get through her nonetheless Since you indicate you're willing to buy a T8 prem, IJN CA line is also looking good because Atago is very strong itself, makes a lot of credits and allows you to (re)train your captains. As for the DD line, the only ship which got hit hard is the Shima ( yes, people CAN get good games, but I judge it by average server stats ) and in a lesser extent the Kagero. Fubuki and everything below is as potent as they ever were. Another line you could consider is the VMF CA line. tier 5 is ackward for most but from there on they are all good ships, and there is the Kutuzov as premium tier 8 which will give the same benefits as Atago would for IJN. Adding to that, if you want to play something semi-close to the 'old Mogami', Kutuzov comes pretty close

I normally don't comment on hidden profiles whining about the game, but I'll make an exception. +-2 is perfectly fine, this isn't WoT..

Personalized offers are done by WG based on your profile. Seems you got 'lucky' with 7 days of free premium, I haven't gotten an personal offer yet So far, more people who got the free premium time are people who don't run premium account normally, at least that is my observation.

New modes ( like Bastion ) do not take away from the existing playerbase, since they are all taken from the same battle queue.

1. Make sure you download the game from the EU portal, or you will need to mod the game to play on EU server ( and frankly, it's troublesome afaik around patch day if you run it like that ). LINK 2. Use the same account details in the client as you're using on the forums, your account is EU because otherwise you wouldn't be posting. This should work, it's not that hard

But even then, 210mm belt is not in line with the offensive performance, it will be a pain to make Alaska feel balanced ( aka FUN when playing and not UP or OP against her peers ). edit: Personally I rather have two good lines which are from the start as balanced and problem free, then them trying to rush out content which eventually might lead to something we had with the captain skill changes ( BIG change, lots of uproar, lots up people upset some way or another ). ^^ basically this.

"THE NEXT FEW UPDATES".... Since when would that be one new line of ships.....

Every time someone whines about it, it's delayed with another week. Considering the amount of whines I expect RN in 2029 edit: Also, Alaska is imho NOT directly comparable with Moskva, the gun's on Alaska are MUCH bigger, and the armor protection is I think comparable. Which puts Alaska much more in the problem corner, the guns indicate it's a BB ( could work as low tier BB... no one would like it though.. but it can't be high tier because the protection is so bad you will take way to much damage from cruisers ) but the armor puts it has a high tier cruiser ( where it meets high tier BB's ).
