Stop posting everyone, this random guy says it is all going to be ok The fact is that now is the time to be shouting up if we want them to take our concerns seriously. I do actually expect that some people will have read this and related threads on the other server's forums and it will be shaping their plans so this thread will hopefully have a positive effect.

Aggression?

I got my email this morning. Go here: http://worldofwarships.eu/en/userbonus/

You should have asked this question at the weekend and bought it with the discount if you were going to go down that route. I own the Kagero (bought it a few months ago when discounted) but I haven't played a single game in her because she seems so... unappealing.

I got to 18 3 days ago (I think) and haven't moved from there since but I have no worries about completing it. I am still more concerned about the torp hits one. To the extent that today I yolo rushed a nearly dead Colorado in my Fletcher only for the fire I had set 40 seconds earlier to kill him about 1 seconds before the torps hit. D'oh. Can't remember where I am with that mission but best guess would be 70-80. I am on track I guess, but it is affecting my ship choice more than any of the other missions has.

No!. We like nice Skybuck - doing things like that will just get you banned and then the forum will be a darker place.

Yea, not sure why you would make 2 options for no that only serves to dilute the overwhelming reaction to the potential change.

It is broken and totally unnecessary.

Sorry have edited. I mean, that if the 830k gets you to a maxed out 19pt captain in the new setup then that is the equivalent of a 16.62 pt captain (if I have done the maths right) on the current levels There is no way that they can implement such a change without allowing us a free respec of our captains but I would assume any XP on a captain above the 830k will just get thrown into your convertible pool... which is ok for people who want to spend their dubloons on it, but for me it will be a waste as I won't be using it. For now I will make sure my dragon flag are only used on captains below the 16.62 level (tbh I only really use them to boost to 15). But, for anyone trying to boost to that 18th skill point, I would heartily recommend stopping right now.

830k means just under 17pt captain in the current setup. No point boosting a captain above that.

Indeed, Corvi is the Donald Trump of this forum.

I saw Spartan1963 this morning in his Gearing whilst I was in my Yamato. I tried to get some teamwork going focussing on 2 flags but everyone wanted to just let someone else go first. I pushed forwards and was taking quite a lot of superficial HE dmg but a smoke by Spartan helped me out and allowed me to get my heals going. In the end he died on B and I got 183k dmg but it was not enough to drag us to victory.

At the end of yesterday, so I think 7-8 days after the announcement, I had managed to increase my free XP by 75k (to 90k total). Obviously this was helped by the 3x weekend and I have burned through perhaps 1/3 of my Papa flags so I can't keep this up by any stretch, but it is good progress. My only problem is that with the new purchase of the Essex (needs about 40-42k) and upcoming purchase of the FdG, I would ideally use some free XP there.

Indeed. But, that is a translation, originally from the Chinese server, translated by someone on the SEA server (who potentially doesn't speak a Chinese language as their first language) who has translated to English, which again potentially isn't their first language - I don't think you need to get too caught up in the word they have used there as something may well have been lost in translation. I've drawn a picture: So, There is me in me boat. If we assume the arrow is an indicator that the nearest ship is heading the same direction as me then answer the following questions: Are they at A - in front of me and running away having just torped my path? Are they at B - behind me and closing in to kill me? Are they at C - parallel to me torping into my side? You don't know. You cannot know and will have no idea until they get spotted or smoke or you see torps (all of the indicators you have without the skill!). Also, in a DD it can change dramatically from second to second. As mtm says, their direction of travel is useless information.

Urg it makes me sad seeing people getting 4 SC in the same time I have gotten 2. Anyway, I did 60 TYL crates, but then this weekend I bought the Essex and the Gearing and as such I'm broke (just saving for the final 3 mil module for the Gearing!) and so I have moved to the credit containers. I'm not far from finishing the Bismarck and it is looking likely that when I get to it I won't have the funds to purchase it.

What is wrong with this picture? Why, your team looks like it didn't want to kill enemy ships.

I certainly don't read it as you get the closest player's direction of travel. I think it points you directly to where the enemy is.

Whilst keen intuition does seem to be IS a massive smack in the face to DDs, it looks to be an expensive perk and as such I don't see it being widely used when up against CE and other skills. The single biggest change is the move to only 4 levels of skills. I have to assume that will potentially also mean: Change in max skill points Change in the cost of each skill point it surely has to come with a full captain reset. p.s. on a side note, SEA-group has the slowest website on earth, and it would have been hellish useful if they split the skill descriptions by point cost to make it easier to distinguish costs as you read through.

Just linking back to the discussion thread: http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/56433-discussion-thread-for-some-interesting-info-from-ru/page__st__1720#topmost

I imagine it is pretty hard to play the game when it is uninstalled.

Effective at what? Please tell me that you use DB because I can see exactly how effective it has been for you.

I hope you include ranked games in the total because otherwise you have excluded yourself... But if you include ranked games do you then also include coop games? it would be easy to farm win rate in coop if you needed to bump yourself up to 55%

I think my WR ended the weekend where it started. I've seen some good games and some bad ones. I've had games where I have ended with shoulder ache from carrying so hard and then others where I have done something stupid and died (god dammit I cannot win in my Kiev any more!). I also have managed to boost my free XP significantly with the 3x XP event with games generating around 2500 per game. In the 1 week since they announced Missouri requiring free XP I have managed to generate about 75k free XP, and the 3x has also put me 1 game away from eliting my Fletcher and although I won't finish the Bismarck in time, I will be around 30k from the FdG after tonight's 3x win which is nice.. This weekend I will have bought the Essex and Gearing at a reduced price so all in all a pretty successful weekend for me

ARP ships should get a camouflage penalty for having neon colours all over their ships.
