No. Ranked has NOTHING to do with skill based MM. How can you even put those in the same sentence? Ranked is random with smaller teams, nothing more nothing less.

You keep promoting 203 on Mogami yet everyone I know who is competitive at this game agrees that 155 is the best setup. Also, did you just say optimal range is 10-11km? Sorry, but hell no. edit: and you wouldn't want to count the replays I can give you where BB's turn around at 18km because my Mogami is peppering them with HE..

Stop thinking of ranked as the 'better' game mode. You're not entitled to less noobs, less AFK, or generally less 'muppets' on your team just because you play ranked.

To each his/her own I'd say

I am quite sure you're right and that it would not negatively affect loading times ( on the contrary even ) but adding all possible asset combinations in separate packages will make the client require a lot more space to be installed ( which is what I said the first time, but maybe it got lost in transmission ;) ).

So that is why I know some very good clickers who will kill enemy DD before going after anything else..

Maybe that is because there is way more shared assets in WoWs ( textures and meshes ). If you have 5 different model lifeboats which can be put on any ship depending on their hull, adding those lifeboats to each ship 'package' would make those packages excessively big. So each asset has it's own file, if they didn't the client would be a lot bigger.

Yeah, no point arguing there, the loading times are problematic and it has an influence on gameplay as having multiple people afk for the first couple of minutes ( effectively, due to loading slow ) doesn't do good things for the enjoyment of the game. Strangely, the pata hdd isn't much slower then my normal sata hdd's in my second system. I do play lower graphics settings there so it's likely the drive has even less to do because it loads smaller textures. That makes me think it's not really about throughput.

Lol you posted 'devs ignore community' from an account with five posts, none of which had any relevant or valuable/tangible feedback for the developers, sorry for making fun of that ( but come on, I think most people are capable of seeing the irony there ). As to your 'claims'..

I said if it is a goal, I am not playing for confederate awards I am more prone to finishing off what I'm shooting at then switching targets if I done more than 20% of his HP. Trust me, Confederate is so much easier to farm then HC if you aim at farming them, or at least I feel they are.

The only reason I can think of causing this is having a very slow HDD ( 5400rpm ). Like in a laptop. There is a lot of disk IO when loading battles, but even on an old PATA 7200rpm drive I use for other WoWs clients I am usually loaded before ( if map + ships are already cached ) or around the start of a battle. I think I seen you post before you're playing on a laptop right?

If you read my previous posts on the subject, I don't care for the holiday, but I been saying from the start the focus of the thread shouldn't be on any particular holiday but on comparability between regions. That does mean that if one region get's something and we don't ( but others don't either ) I won't be vexed in any way shape or form. Now that multiple regions seem to get this special, I would be vexed if we don't get something comparable. If you find that hypocrisy, well be my guest

It is quite easy to farm Confederate's if that's one of your life goals. HC is harder already. If you would use epic medals for giving people on losing team a victory bonus, the medals need tweaking. And there might not been a thread Admiral_Noodle, but it's certainly not a new suggestion ;) Top 3 xp on losing team, no don't do that imo. People will play even less for the victory then. Epic medals, after some tweaking would be fine but I can already predict some people who would be doing nothing but back line sniping to get high dmg numbers ( which will get them in top 3 xp of team and let's them have a victory bonus for nothing but 'sniping' ). The last patch was a big change already where people actually get rewarded for capping ( teamwork, or at least not focusing on 'free for all dmg dealing' ). That we needed that change to reward someone's contribution to a victory better, that alone should indicate you should not use XP at this time.

Well now I am a bit vexed, at first I was like: stop crying over a holiday which most countries in EU don't even know about let alone care about. But if RU get's Black Friday specials, while I'm 99% sure Black Friday is a filthy capitalist holiday no one there cares about(??), I will agree EU needs to be treated the same.

Sounds so simplistic, it can't actually work can it

You must be crazy, people would just turn those off anyway because people would abuse them.

http://worldofwarships.eu/en/community/accounts/510277834-Hjalfnar_Feuerwolf/#tab=pvp/account-tab-overview-pvp little over 300 battles, 45% win rate and 33k avg damage. You will be sorely missed

Firstly, I feel he did say he is ok with failing. He even says he thinks people need to be polite in game for him to consider listening to them while... But...

A single incident is impossible to detect, and to harh to ban someone over, I would for see a new kind of trolling if you implemented this: I don't like you, because you're in a ( insert ship name ), so I will try to kill myself by ( running into your torps / ramming you on low hp / sit right in front so you will hit me when you shoot ) and you'll get banned. Other than that, I fully agree. Threshold where pink players can still inflict damage should be gone completely, and besides getting the damage returned if he keeps shooting allies, when he finally dies the game should show a popup: YOU'RE BANNED! don't shoot allies Your ban will be lifted in ( insert time period ). Using multiple account to work around bans can result in all accounts being sanctioned. Prolonged abuse will result in a permanent ban on all known present and future account.

I only partially agree, those bans should not be limited to ranked at all. What, you elite ranked players have a right to a less 'noob' ridden game environment compared to us random scrubs? No way, just ban those suckers for both game types thank you

I am on the fence, almost all most post have been in GD. But the new structure does look easier to navigate for everyone and we do see a lot of misplaced topics ( which leads to a heavy workload for the moderators moving topics ). The new structure hopefully will cause people to post more in the appropriate sections, leading to having more related topics in the same area - easier to find. I expect the change to be beneficial in the long run

My replies are NOT towards OP, they are towards SDGSteve

Because it is disruptive to the gaming environment of others ( especially in ranked ) when people play for results, and he is blatantly saying he doesn't care? edit: Didn't he have 1k games? That's enough to be above 45% 22k avg dmg.

edit: my remarks aren't @ OP but at SDGSteve..... Because they fit the definition. Noob is a descriptive term for someone who is not good at a game. He is not good. And no, I am not really good at dealing damage, and no I haven't been really lucky. I know how to play the game, I know when to engage and who to engage, who to avoid, where to go, what to do, how to respond. At least, partially I still noob out a lot myself. I am often called scrub by my peers ( or better players ) and why would I take offense to that? I am not belittling him, I belittle his attitude because I do not find it OK is people are ok at failing if their failing causes others to fail. That is not the right mindset to have. I would be more then happy to help him get better, if he would show the desire to improve. So far he has shown none. Also you can try to turn this into me bashing bad players, but that's totally off the mark. I was pointing out how he might be ok with his performance, other people are definitely not NOR can he expect them to be when it is affecting THEIR enjoyment of the game. Why you say that like the person I was replying to is actually capable of doing that, he is clearly not doing what you described or he would get better results? Noob is not an insult, if I call him 'a bad player' does it change our dispute then?
