The flags did not come in the usual "crate", did they ?

It may not satisfy you, but: because it's done that way in every game and real life sports. This was a testing season, and chances are good rewards will be better than just some silver and signals once it really starts, thus hopefully attracting more players.

But in all fairness, not all 30k want to participate. During the event times, I see around 180-200 people in the IV queue range, which surely is more than at other times of the day or a week ago. Some don't care, others don't know. In my witch game, there were people that had no clue what was going on and just panicked at the sight of 10 vs 14. I estimate the numbers of witch chasers at only a few thousand.

Started hunting the witch on thursday. 5 games @ IV, no luck. And today, there was one in the first match at 7 PM - on the other team. She is NOT unbeatable, most of the match, it was pretty much a 1 vs 1 with me. She got me in the end (HE spam is real), but I managed to shoot one more turret on my Arkansas aaaand... citadel (my 3rd on her) took the final 8k hp. The rest of my team had dealt with the other ships very well, and so victory was ours a few minutes later. I guess I could have even survived it by switching to HE, I had some pretty bad bounces off her bow. And luckily for the WG employee, there is a "no shaming" rule on the forums, so no naming.

I just had my first match of the day with a confederate medal, aka 10 exp signals. I did not get the crate icon after the match, and I am pretty sure I did not receive them either (well, I don't know how many signals I had before TBH). Maybe it is related. Edit: no chat on ptr as well

Not if a Salem Witch is on your side.

There is one in every other game, and they can just ruin it for the whole team without any penalty ? I know you are going to stop them from getting a star in case they win against all odds, but seriously, how often does that happen ?

So aa is nerfed, i.e. carriers buffed. And Midway is still op as always ? Great Scott.

Take your Colorado.Get into a ranked match. Do 170k damage. Add another 28k. Kill 3 ships. And watch how 6 idiots still lose the match.

Well all know this. Climbing up ranks is going smoothly with win streaks of 10 and more. And then, out of a sudden, a higher power decides it is going too well. You start getting into teams with no dd vs 2, or you have a VI cv vs a VII. Players behave like it is their first damn game. And even games where you do 198k damage and kill 3 ships are miraculously lost. And at the end of the day, you can be damn happy if you held your rank. It happened to me at 13 and now at stupid 5. And I do not see any logical reason for this. It is not like I got into a new bracket which is unsuited for me. And I am doing as good or as bad as always. Except for quite a few unbalanced setup, that is. So what is your experience ? Am I just imagining things ? Or did anyone manage a walk through in less than 100 games ?

I am shocked how often people end up (dead) with less than 100 points, and it happens at all tiers from I to X. Yes, even at 10. It is a disgrace, and you let your team down big time. Heck, I once had a ranked battle with 3 players below 100 in the end. 3 damn people out of 7. (Ofc the round was lost.) IMO there is no excuse for that. 100 does not require that much action. Except for not yolo-ing right into the enemy fleet perhaps. (And even then, nothing keeps you from firing.) Not getting that minimal contribution clearly shows you need some more practise, preferably against bots where your win chance is higher and you don't freak out human beings. "Oh, but I have been one shot by a bb/ammo wrecked right at the start." Guess what, there is a counter to being citadelled to death within 2 minutes: DON'T SHOW BROADSIDE. Problem solved.

Why do you get nuked so early ? Because you do not go with the blop (aka solo) and ignore planes until they have dropped. Most likely: no. But at least I will not see those players in the next match. In the current state, they just keep playing and playing, and perhaps even winning some. Maybe a few hate lines in chat, but people will only know for sure who screwed up until after the match. And we all know reporting them for "playing badly" is just a ruse. Reports do nothing. This way, the game tells them they are very sub-par. And maybe, just maybe, some will realize how bad they are actually playing. What is the chance of that happening ? Last time I did the math, I had 700 games and 70 detonation flags. So 1%. But fine, if you get the flag, you have immunity. Don't the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few ? So you would give one player the freedom to ruin it for 11 others ?? And do not get me started on ranked, where even 1 slacker is too much. Uhmm. No. Because I started this thread BECAUSE of ranked. 3 players below 100 in the top mm bracket.

Zitat aus einem Artikel der Gamestar zum Halloween Ereignis bei Fallout Shelter. Damit ist schon alles gesagt.

So that we know the game is lost before it has even started when your X carrier is PA, but theirs isnt.

Ok, und in USA und SEA ist Pearl Harbor ein größeres Ding als hier. Also macht Euch bloß keine Umstände in 6 Wochen, wir wollen hier nix. P.S.: Allerheiligen ist auch bei uns Feiertag, nur mal so nebenbei. Was heisst denn All Hallows' Eve ? Ob ich jetzt am Abend zuvor gedenke oder am Tag darauf oder wie ich es nenne.... Es ist halt die übliche Diskriminierung wegen der Herkunft. Edit: Ich bin auch gespannt nächstes Jahr, wenn die Russen wieder ihren Tag des Kosmonauten haben. Von dem ich im Gegensatz zu Halloween noch nie etwas gehört hatte. Ob wir alle da wieder ihre Weltall Mod kriegen ?

What do you think, how long would it take if there was a serious situation in WoW that threatens to destabilize the whole community (here: ranked, Warcraft: maybe a gold dupe) ? But hey, "only a a few player" are using it. And there is "no data in our logs that show this is a serious issue".

Well, I guess Yamato (and bb in general) players think differently. IIRC they will change the ramming mechanic (angle and speed as a damage factor). Thats when they will be more useful.

I have just noticed, we don't get a single HY signal along the way to rank 1. Not even at rank 1. Is there any reason other than "because reasons" ?

So THIS* is the crème de la crème of the server ? *shudder* People with no sense for the game, team work, their ship and the map. Wallet warriors with a tier 5 ship who are allowed in with an Atlanta, a ship even angels fear to steer. People driving all across the map, offering their broadside to anyone willing to shoot at it. People not doing their jobs. DDs not capping, cruisers not killing DDs. You either lead, you follow, or you gtfo of ranked. Seriously, there has to be better "gating". It seems to me you are handing out those top 10 ranks like candy on halloween. And if you dont get there in 100 games, heck, there are people with 500+ matches. You will get there eventually. 10 and better says nothing about a player in its current state. *most people currently in top mm bracket

DD can win a game and still end up with lowest score. Maybe this is the time to put those right-click reports to some use. If a player has a low score and say 4 reports for "plays badly" (...), there should be repercussions.

Just had a discussion ingame about best aa. So Montana can get to 100, but I bet so can the DM !?

It is ridiculous, if you think about it. Part of the tactic in Tanks is to select your ammo type and amount. And that you can actually run out of shells on some tanks if you just keep firing. Here, it is just spam and forget. And no, "it's a game" is not an excuse for such a blatant mechanism fail. With such an attitude, we could have flying ships that shoot lasers. But hey, I don't want to spoiler the Russian battleships to come....

Or carriers ? And what was their dud rate ? This is not about 100% realism, and I am not asking for a nerf. I merely ask for adding a tactical layer. I am not advocating the realistic "no reload", but how often do you see people torping right at the start or shooting at targets that are waaayyyy out of range. Just a more focused approach on using your torps instead of just "spamming when ready" on lower tiers or "mining" narrow passages on spec.

So they are going to introduce personal missions to 'ships in a few weeks, and I am just wondering what could be the equivalent to Tanks' infamous "set two tanks on fire in one round" quest. Damn, if this was in, people would probably start "fight clubs", huh ?

Unsinkable and fireproof ? Nah, not that rare, once you get to higher tier bb. Heck, I guess you could even somewhat farm those. Just let if burn/flood if the match is won anyway. And if all fails, you can heal it back. What is "anti torpedo" ? Sharana, on 07 October 2015 - 11:56 PM, said: Two times if I remember correctly. Found this one after quick search in the screenshots folder. Mmmhhh. Them carrier people again....
