It is fine. If you play well enough. And WG can't really fix that problem with you...

Wow. I missed this thread for quite a while today... little did I know the chaos that was going on here! Whilst I don't approve of mismatching divisions like that and hultaji shouldn't have retaliated by firing I still feel it was the BAD players who are largely to blame here and the attempts at justification, fading towards an apology are quite hilarious to read. If there was the tiniest amount of baiting by saying 'you will all die from my isokaze' it is the most pathetic baiting I have seen - it is aimed at the enemy team and there is no reason for the friendlies to fly off the handle. Next comes the calls for reporting which is ok for fail div in my opinion from the fubuki. Then comes the escalation (#1) from the BAD platoon about torping the isokaze. At the same time the Yam comments that the fubuki is not the best player which is a bit inflammatory but he had hardly started flaming global about tomato players. The the shooting starts at the iso (escalation #2). I don't for a second buy the 'shooting over the nose' excuse. You just can't lock on to a friendly so it is harder to hit a DD at that kind of range. That sir is a miss not a warning shot. At that point you cannot be surprise that the Yamato is pointing his guns at the people firing. And he warns not to fire. And then only fires 1 shells. Less than cherry did. Then all hell breaks lose. Apparently it is ok for the BAD players to shoot at the Iso but as soon as there is retaliation the gloves are off. They have successfully bitten off their own nose to spite their face. No wonder there are shouts about closing this due to naming and shaming - because lets face it there is plenty to be ashamed of. And all of the talks of self-righteous stat obsession - it is deflection - what about the self righteous game policing by the BAD players? I'm glad it is here on video so that people can see how a bullying platoon can screw everything up. There will be no repercussions most times it happens.

The problem is that quite often I'll flag up a danger such as needing people to defend or asking people to head to the cap, or to help spot the DD about to smash up our CVs or something. So, after trying to entice someone to go and defend... and then losing because the enemy caps... yea I'm probably not going to be that polite. I understand that people might not be paying attention to the mini-map... hell I get tunnel vision. But when they get warned and they still carry on regardless it is just too frustrating. If you can stay polite then you are the bigger man but apart from the odd report I don't care about they are probably not much more likely to listen to your polite suggestions than my sharp criticisms - they certainly don't listen to instructions mid-game. I would also like to add here, before I sound like an obnoxious git, that I am actually quite friendly in games as a rule. I try not to order people around too much but I do point out things using the in game commands and mini-map. I congratulate both a good team effort or even local push on a flank. Also if someone goes out of their way to help, like the Ognevoi who covered my ships with smoke after it got disabled taking out both a Mahan and Cleveland - I'll say thanks in chat and I'll compliment in the reporting system.

The sounds annoy me. But I deleted them. And as much as I like my warships to look like warships I'm surprisingly ok with the colour schemes. The Myoko perhaps has a bit too much of it but the lines look cool. I certainly don't have some childish viewpoint that pink is for girls and as such it should be different. I got over that when I was about 15.

You can go into your game files and save the New York port over the Yokosuka port. Then you get the correct port but with the ARP ships showing

You mean dealing with the only competent players so that you then have a free run at the rest? I do play some low tiers - I have all tier ships from 2 up - but, I don't find find the really low tiers that much fun. Sure there is chaos, but you don't get punished for your mistakes as severely. Maybe sometimes it is nice to have a bit of a break... but recently my break ships has been my Gremy which is a mid tier ship.

Extra free XP sounds nice... but I have the Gremyayaschy so I don't think I need another. I did look long and hard at the Lo Yang... and then finally decided to buy it about 24 hours after it got removed from the store. Oops. Well, I guess I have saved that money

14+2-16? :p

Does anyone know/can anyone make up some horrible warship related pun that might be suitable for valentines day? The worse it is... the better. I've been trying to think of some but I'm just not very funny it seems...

Lol I love that page - the comments has people complaining about having to use 6+ ships... and then about it being harder than project R but 'only' nets them a tier 2 ship. And they are entirely missing that other regions don't even have it. People are never happy...

Well I'm in Amsterdam until quite late on Monday evening so if it rolls onto Monday then I won't be collecting any pearls until perhaps 10pm... but that is the only concession I 'give' them... once I'm home I'll be back playing! I honestly can't tell if it will make Monday. It kind of looks like it might... but weekend players may push it over. If it does make it to Monday then I think it will roll over 10m in the first half of the day.

Saw Namolis earlier. We were both in our Independence CVs and both with 1/1/1 layout. We largely did our own thing... particularly after he baited me into an ill-conceived barrage attack that left me fighting his fighters over 4 of their ships. Oops. But, despite that I kept my TBs/DBs busy and managed reasonable damage. We won on cap in the end with me 2nd on my team and him top of his team. p.s. didn't notice his name until someone in our team called him names and he replied in chat and by then the round was ending which is why I didn't say hi.

Mine was 0 for months. I figured it was broken... or more likely in the minus numbers but it didn't show that. Anyway.. it moved to 1 a few weeks back and then 2 the other night. Good times. It is never going to be crazy high for me because despite being an above average player and complimentary to people who have done well (I do this often) I can also less than complimentary to people who actively sabotage our chances to win. It's not big, it's not clever... but I don't seem able to stop myself.

I kind of know what you mean. Fortunately I still have plenty of lines left to head up but as a primarily BB player I do wonder if soon I'll really be itching for new BBs having just unlocked both tier 10 BBs. Luckily I still have plenty of other lines... and I didn't get to tier 10 to look at the BBs... but having a clear goal of ships to try and own is important to me and rate of introduction of new lines is fairly glacial currently.

I think I meant cheesy... but all could probably work :p

And now even people in a Umikaze can shrug off getting components of their DD destroyed and keep running rings around other ships or run away. It should stay as something available to people who have experience. Now it just pushes the skill requirement for DD players through the floor.

Excellent. We get the one with the best camo design. The green camo might end up being rarer but it simply doesn't look as good as the blue one.

Do we have pics of how the 2 look? On the Project-R announcement page the pics are all of 1 camo.

I find it it odd that they have decided to make last stand tier 2. It is not an inconsequential bonus - it is a big advantage to a destroyer and now easily obtainable. At 2 skills points I'll probably put that and turret traverse on my Gremy before saving for the higher tier skills.

It might be worded like that on there (from before the 260 pearl option existed) but when they announced the 260 guarantee they said that getting to that milestone excluded you from the lottery.

Sure, if you have 260 you can stop playing but my understanding is that is the only way to stop yourself completing them because they are so easy that you cannot fail to complete them. I for one am not going to do that because I want to play my game and if it means some people miss out on getting to 260 then it is kind of tough...

I probably average about 1 compliment or report per game but often I use 0 and other games I use a few. I would guess something in the region of 80% of them (both good and bad) are used on my team as I usually have more of an idea what their contributions were. Mine stayed on 0 for months after introduction but I happened to look again last night and I'm up to the mighty heights of 2!

Wasn't the speed boost? Or that's for DF on US?... If it's the smoke I tell you that the reduction has to be DRAMATIC for me to even think on equiping it... Smoke has far too many uses to go around without it. Maybe I misread it. *scrambles off to check* Edit: For fans of Japanese destroyers, which are famous for their long-range torpedo attacks, a new Consumable — Torpedo Reload Booster — will appear in Update 0.5.3. It will be available for the Hatsuharuand Kagero destroyers. Players will receive a one-time torpedo reload acceleration, which will allow an additional torpedo salvo to be launched sooner. However, you will have to abandon the Smoke Screen to equip this Consumable.

That and you have to think smoke is more useful more of the time.

quoted post removed If you are trying to make a point about someone being rude you probably should try not to be rude yourself. Also, how many games has hanszeehock played both in total and in tiers 9 and 10? You are very dismissive of him and yet his stats appear to be hidden.
