In the WoT test server they added a mechanic where same tier division get's XP bonus, +-1 tier division ( iirc, could be +-2 ) get's less and fail division get's 50% XP malus. While this does discriminate against solo players ( who will never be eligable for the bonus ) it's a step in the right direction if not only because it shows it's not something WG deems 'fine as is' or they wouldn't experiment with ways to change it.

There are no competitive multiplayer games without statistics, how else would one judge others to be worse then themselves in all circumstances, how else would people find excuses to blame 'the teams' for their shortcomings. And how else does once judge their own performance, does one judge his improvement over time? Fun? What is that, can you use it to measure how successful one is in an online game? Really? Are you sure?

It would speak in his favour if he wouldn't post and run but actually stayed around and get involved in the ensuing discussion.

I seen so many fail division with CV's being pulled into higher tier matchmaking where they were useless I can't even begin to imagine what you're trying to tell me? edit2: Ok so I read the edit: match CV rule > division matchmaking and that would prevent instances where a single enemy CV is pulled in to match the CV in your division?

True imo.

That Langley can also end up in a tier 8 battle because of the Cleveland.... edit: See above -> the 'proof' Langley in division with a Cleveland is supposed to show this is an exploit, but it's not because the Langley in that screenshot is just lucky the Cleveland didn't pull him into a tier 8 battle where he would be out of planes after 2-3 attacks.

You just made ev1n laugh, and I saw him move the RN introduction date back another month...

Not really. It's dependent on the thread topic, the video content, the intent of why the video is posted, and most importantly the alignment of Jupiter with Mars and Venus in relation to the spin of the Pegasus galaxy's massive black hole

Now now,

No, the entire division counts as the highest tier, the only thing this would do is pull in an enemy carrier of low tier ( which will be rightfully pissed off at the fail division which pulled him in ).

Look for minimap.xml, iirc there are color options as well as visibility toggles.

All fine and dandy, but I decide when I close the distance to which ships/objective, and I'm quite capable of making those decisions without muppets thinking they have to decide for me because 'they know better' ;)

Why does it matter how many games one has? If I said the same thing: your torps, your responsibility PERIOD, would you try to dismiss it because there are two m's in my name with a t in between them and everyone knows that can't be good? Good, so you follow the rules? You know, the rule which says you can't grieve players works FOR pinkies as well as against them, this isn't WoT where WG allows player wielded retribution if you're flagged as team killer.

That is only true if you're looking in a mirror right? I am to scared to try anyway...

Ye already done that just now, also changed font size to 5 and x offset to -5, looks good to me ( might look better at -8 for longer names though, need a 'center on icon' function Thanks for the link!

If it has last spotted position it would be even better, does it?

Mod author didn't want to sign developer agreement from WG so his mod isn't being signed. From what I saw in one of the RU video's WG was working on minimap extensions for the vanilla client, in the background it was visible that ships had detection circles around them and they talked about making it optional which circles would be visible or something. I only hope they won't forget something as simple as names This is the only mod I really miss atm, the extended minimap gives such a clearer overview it just aids with tactical decision making (and as such I am happy it will be included in vanilla client, as it should be) imho.

People don't like appearing pink for some reason, I <3 the pink color instead of a blue one for instance. If it proofs not to be enough, ship locking doesn't sound that bad to me, for those people who can't help getting pink more then once in X interval, as intermediate step between a full account suspension and 'being pink'. Grammatica in English is 'grammar', surprised your spellchecker didn't catch that one. I use chrome with built in spell checker and it saved me from embarrassment a couple of times ( like just now, when I misspelled embarrassment ). Either way, forums are not school, you might get a 'spelling cop' comment like mine ( tongue in cheek though ), but it's almost impossible to not be understood unless you're using google translate from CN-ENG or something ). So don't worry, just go with it, sometimes you'll make mistakes but unlike mistakes like 'not pulling out in time' the consequences of these mistakes are rather minor ;) edit: All praise Lord Hamsterius! The new TK system is surely a step in the right direction imo..

Your post ( the one I quoted before ) read like: Don't be surprised if people don't like that mindset.

Ahah, one of those..

Doesn't Murica have tier VI team battles? Don't see the big appeal, emphasis would just shift to Cleveland's, Fuso's/New Mexico's and so on. Biggest change needed atm for team battles is in the rewards department, it burns through flags since you can't earn any

I don't think it's that much set in stone, though I haven't played in weeks really untill today and I am not sure ST team will be running this sunday and if so in which composition. And ST team isn't even that good imo ( mostly because of lack of training ). during team battles we ran into some teams which I deem very likely to be able to beat the 'dream team'.

I think it is more a case of simple numbers of people who will play it, apparently server population at tier IX is lower, lower enough compared with tier VIII to think there will be less interest. That and/or increased economic costs of running tier IX and X

I think it is time for ST team to get some more practise or we won't win this one I sank jiblegs

I asked Tuccy but it seems like it is not going to happen unless the other threads or proven to be offensive or maybe purposely made to grieve ( by making it hard to find the proper channel ). Sorry, did my best Also, iirc, channels will 'expire' if no one is active in them but I don't know how long this takes ( and I'm not 100% sure on it but it would be surprising if it didn't ).
