But for what? Do you expect every culture to get their own specials on their own holidays? Like I said, there is no EU culture unlike in the USA. Name me a couple of holidays you would like specials on and I will find you countries in which that holiday doesn't mean jack but who have other important holidays which aren't shared with their neighbouring EU countries at all. If it is just about the number of specials, yes I agree that should be roughly comparable ( just to make the community feel as appreciated on each server, but some differences can exist ). But we shouldn't make a riot for each single holiday on which we don't get something, the argument is flawed when you bring it up only at those times and only with that comment. So yes I agree, we want/should have decent specials, comparable to other servers in both amount and makeup. But please people, don't make these topics for 'Black friday'. Make them for 'equal or comparable treatment, always'

Look, you win less than average, this means you're a burden to the other players in your team. I am not sure what tier you're playing, not looking at your stats ( other then you posting them in your signature ), but you're doing awful damage as well ( to be expected with that bad WR ). Why should other people be happy with you playing how you want, when you're performing so bad everyone in your team has a higher chance to lose just because MM put you in their team. Some people don't care about you feeling pleasant while playing, not if it means they will lose (another) star because of it. Still, the one who said "shut up noob" made an error. He should have said: "shut up noob, you lose to many games to be giving advice to anyone on how to play". If you're happy with failing, fine, don't expect others to be happy about you causing them to fail. edit: Also I find it very hard to grasp that someone would not want to improve himself if he is performing so badly at something especially if this failing causes affects other people? edit2: This might read harsh, but it's meant to make you doubt yourself. I am certain that you can improve yourself if you decide you want to,

I am also not keen on wanting to have specials here for holidays no one even cares about in any way shape or form. And the only reason it's being pushed in some western countries is because of commerce. I wouldn't want WG to be pushed into doing specials because some companies are investing in changing general public attitude that that particular day is a good day to do shopping. No, as a Dutchy I would like it to be on Sinterklaas, you know that old white guy with a beard with colored people as helpers who gives presents to kids ( ow and if you're a bad kid, the colored people will put you in their big bags and take you with them to Spain ). ---- Just some nonsense to indicate there are no real EU holidays. EU is not one culture unlike ( most of the ) USA.

I am sorry but no, I don't have time in game to be polite all the time. I am polite at battle start, I will wish everyone gl and have fun. "Turn left!" in game is the EXACT same as "Dear Sir, I am sorry to bother you but those torps on my right are going to hurt a lot and I can't evade because you're sadly blocking me. Would you please be so kind to move your rudder to full left so we both have a chance of not dying?"

You will never hear official things from ST first, ST can only give opinions and is not allowed to make disclosures about anything before WG has made an initial announcement

Black Friday isn't an EU thing anyway, unlike Halloween which has it's roots here and not in the USA. What would you expect on a day like 'black friday' then? Discounts? LOL

@OP I commented on your video...

You're flaming, because you were called out as a douchebag with proof in another thread and I was thrilled about it. Really, I love seeing trolls getting caught. You don't like getting caught, so you followed me to this thread and try to turn this: Into 'Flaming' It's pathetic, sad, and generally suits you perfectly. Consider yourself reported.

Well I will give you that you do have more experience in playing them, I will assume you do actually know better then me. The thing I fear is that maybe you're taking a design weakness ( less frontal armor resulting in head on citadel hits pretty often ) and making it 'bigger' then it is. ( ps I am not even sure it's intentional, but I do know I can kill GE CA's with frontal head on AP penetrations really quickly ). The statistics don't show a problem with performance, so they don't need to 'fix the armor' unless they also 'fix' some of it's strong points ( eg, buff to armor would mean nerf to other characteristics, are you willing to name a few points which can be nerved to compensate for 'fixing' the armor? ). Also, even if they 'fixed' the armor, and nerved rof/dmg ( aka dpm ), in the end we would end up with a couple of different line's which are still basically carbon copies of eachother with slightly tweaked properties. I am not saying German cruisers should blow up every time some BB sneezes at it's bow or stern, but having a nation specific weakness which doesn't cause imbalance in performance overall is exactly which creates diverse gameplay. I do admit these weaknesses should be preferably be something you can actively 'disguise' in battle ( IJN has big citadels but you can angle and you don't take frontal citadel damage that easily ). Having a weakness for others to exploit which you can't do anything about ( you can't hide your stern and bow without giving up something even tastier ), well let's just say I can imagine the frustration that brings with it.

I told you the EXACT same things two posts higher

You still a liar, you didn't end up on top of xp. mmmbeer can you please post the replay I want to see it with my own eyes.

What a load of crap, seems you think German CA's are the only one's who occasionally 'melt' or 'evaporate' from BB shells

Says who? Just because it's not here yet, doesn't mean competitive play isn't coming.

And yet, I often see carriers on top off a team's XP list. XP would need to be tweaked, but this whole 'random team MM influence' is keeping me from playing ranked battles. I know myself, it's better if I do not expose myself to the frustration of actually playing for a competitive goal and seeing it gone to ruin by others, and yes I surely will ruin it for others as well and I would hate that just as much. If we had a system which could reward individual player contribution instead of rewarding the MM's combination of random players, I would be fine with it. Call it XP 2.0 or something, idk It's probably not going to happen, so instead I'll patiently ( since nothing else would have any effect anyway.. ) await team battles / cw / sh type additions to the game

Lowering in game settings lowers vram usage so you will likely be able to play longer before encountering the crash. Please make a ticket with support ( link on top of the page ) and include your dxdiag.log ( http://wizards.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1271 ) and your python.log from your profile folder where you installed WoWs. Lowering graphics settings might let you play, getting the issue fixed is just as important

To be fair, I do expect more from CC then keeping those CCT's around, I am looking forward to when the game get's a stable training room option so tournaments can be organized for instance ( but as I said, it's not CC fault that there isn't such an option right now ). That doesn't mean we should all bring the salt in the same quantities as been handed down by some participants in this discussion, and I agree it would be better if there were more constructive parts then 'dismissive' parts in their reasoning but everyone has a right to be salty. Just how much salt, is up to WG to decide. ps. I mentioned CC and CCT, and not anyone personally as imho all this forum outrage is already misplaced only because no one posting here has ANY real insight in the work description, workload and results of those people. And with that I don't mind people showing their grudges, but don't make it personal.

The lead indicator was allowed at first, because WG wanted to judge the impact. After the community fallout over it, it didn't take them that long to remove python access to kill that mod. Another mod was made, this one used actionscript. It again took a while for WG to kill it but they did ( I did a happy dance in my chair! ). Looking at this chain, it's safe to say WG does not condone these kinds of mods. But, Aslain's modpack is allowed in the sense that WG allows it to be redistributed through this forum ( unlike the lead indicator ), and there are some mods which outside of being cosmetic, also give gameplay advantages. My minimap with ship names and last known location is mostly the one I am thinking about, without it I would surely miss last spotted locations and my situational awareness would suffer ( though if you're used to not having it, you can train yourself and compensate accordingly ). In WoT, it took WG a long time but eventually added it to the vanilla game. I hope mods like these will make it into vanilla WoWs in the same manner, just as multiple cross hairs and otm customization ( which are far more cosmetic than the minimap mod ). Just to be clear, yes I think minimap mod gives an in game advantage, but I'm not going as far as calling it a cheat. It's the same kind of advantage as 'enable extended battle interface' is an advantage, with the exception that you need a 3rd party installer to make use of the option.

Thanks, going to try the HP bar's, I hope they don't lag edit: don't like the new download option, had to disable addblock to get the addfly link working normally and had to refresh filedropper twice to get the page to show up normally. I trust there is a good reason to use filedropper, but ease of use isn't one of them I think ps: you do know that I would sit through five commercials to download the pack if you and every mod author in your pack had an agreement that any revenue outside of hosting would be shared between everyone

The same can be said about WoT right, but they experimented there with giving victory bonus to top 3 of losing team ( iirc, been a while ) and you can certainly earn the same victory bonus in the losing team by farming epic medals ( HC, Confederate ). I am against using epic medals in ranked because it would deter from team play element ( as you predict would happen and I fully agree with that ). But for randoms it would make this game a lot less frustrating. In honesty, there isn't one measurement which really resolves only about skill. Or, it would be win rate. But win rate is only based on skill given enough random MM and big enough sample size, both of which don't exist in ranked ( imo ). The concept is flawed imo, and I got no suggestions to 'fix' it other then keeping the 7v7 format but letting people choose a team ( with some reserve players but without clan restrictions ) and make season's like tournament ladders

Huh Gremlin has 4 shells and 4 citadel penetrations from gremmy won't instagib an Omaha, you have 8 citadel penetrations which means two salvo's in a row but how did you get devastating strike if you needed more than one salvo? Nice work, not dismissing, just surprised.

I prefer carbon based problems, kind of fits all usually

In wot, every time the subject was brought up with developers, it was veto'd ( or so it seems to us outside observers ) by Serb himself as he stated multiple times that friends should be able to platoon together, and that MM is designed to balance teams hence troll platoon's weren't 'that bad'. If I had anything to say about it, I would just make divisions unable to press start if a +2 tier gap exists, period. Want to mix tiers, fine, +-1 and no more. Sure, I seen ( and played... ) Umikaze in high tier matches ( and did very well ), but those exceptions don't make the concept of mismatched divisions any more valid. Sadly, I don't have anything to say about it other than giving suggestions.
