  1. Sorry WG is doing you a favour! Making you spend time in the REAL world not with on screen pixels Just trotting out the WG line from the Xmas debacle. Been gone from the game since February and seen nothing that inspires me to return. But if RN BB's are going to pander to the BBabies simply make my absence permanant.

    The ways EU community has been treated differently

    I would also add lack or inappropriate moderation of this forum contributing to the "wild west" feel of the place and allowing the community to descend ever downwards. I have exiled myself form this game as sick to death of the arrogance of WG and typical of the EU office, what do I see that RogDog has closed the RL/RPF not game breaking thread cause it was a spamming topic cause it was breaking rules because topic was being spammed. Oh good grief where the f**k were you the last few weeks when there were plenty of topics about RPF leading up to and immediately after 6.0 was released? Just fail after fail after fail.

  4. Signed. Even though I have uninstalled all WG products now. Total boycott. How about introducing something similar to WoT? Bet the devs KNOW HOW BAD an idea that would be so WTF apply it to WoWs? There has been times when you are the last man standing in a mobile tank and can outwit and outfight 2/3 heavies? That is no different scenario when the last DD vs 2/3 BBs. I remember doing that in the pre-nerfed Hellcat against 3 T8 HTs. Fire and relocate, repeat and rinse. OK doing it in a TD now is nigh on impossible with the nerf to spotting and loss of penetration over distance but high tier MTs can still do it.

    Listen to your player Base!

    All WG products now uninstalled. Just done with them. Played 5 games in DDs this evening and all the "fun" just gone. Equipped my DDs with RPF. Either constantly spotted or could easily avoid ambushes or enemy could avoid your ambush. The WTF moment when you get caught out in an ambush is gone or laugh like a maniac pulling off one an opponent - just gone. Might stick around these forums to see if WG "might" change their ways....better chance of winning the lottery. Enjoy the high seas fellow captains....this one is going to the beach.
  6. Had a run on seeing formuties. Last night it was GrOpah then next game was Donhoolio and just now Verdius, unfortunately losses on all 3.

    Patch 0.6.0 Patch Notes - RPF is still a thing

    I did the PTS survey on the 13th and was totally against having it in game plus provided feedback. They just slap us in the face with a limp sausage by "graciously" extending PTS without modifying or re-thinking RPF. [edited] Though the idea of seal clubbing low tiers has some appeal, like MTM I will be out of here too. 11 pages and climbing and the usual cowardice from WG is evident.

    New weapons poll

    Premium ammo....for credits. If you have ever played WoT, nuff said.
  9. Gojuadaroi and his fellow reds owned me and TobyJug last night. As usual lack of a cohesive support or BBs moving to the front to engage.

  11. Got the Graf Spee last night. Hope to start Convoy missions to day and maybe get to the Budy. As currently not spending any cash for this, going to use left over gold in WoT to get week of premium.
  12. Just had Nechrom on my team and creamgravy on the other side. Our performances are not or the highlight reels. Cream took out his Trashcan by mistake and insta blotted within 2 minutes. I (Scharnhorst) did not much better trying to follow Nechrom in his Bismarck. Mid-game thought he had an Aoba & Omaha as easy meat, then a Gaede turned up followed by a Derpitz. Though at the time he was around 1/4 health. Pity it was not more of an epic struggle.

    Public Test 0.6.0 - Changes for Test 2

    Your last sentence absolutely sticks in my craw. WG YOU ARE SO ABSOLUTELY EFFING ARROGANT!! RPF has received plenty of negative feedback from various sources since it 1st appeared yet you are too arrogant to even modify or rethink it for the 2nd PTS. Happy to modify 4/5 of the others which attracted far less attention but oh no...RPF WG knows best, "plays know s**t", it needs no changes. Show us the evidence, show where the requirement comes from or even the assumptions you have based this on then maybe we would shut up but your arrogance prevents you from sharing or communicating. And sticking with WG's arrogance, your refusal to learn from bad decisions/mistakes that have hit your other titles WoT & WoWp is just being perpetuated here hence this continuing "bad blood" built up with your playerbase. Wanted to give you a chance but the continual failure of how WG approaches things has used up all my goodwill so will be off within a day or 2 once RPF is introduced (just ot see how "bad" it will get).
  14. B4zza in his CV helped his team easily overcame my team a couple of nights back. Then last night RobS80 in his division easily overwhelmed TobyJug & I trying to fight it out on the front line in T7 DDs while all the BBabies camoed out in a corner. In some ways glad that RPF gives me an excuse to quit.

    Public Test 0.6.0 Feedback - New Skill System

    Thanks WG for the "fun" while it lasted. RPF is the final straw that breaks this camel's back. FFS they saw how they kept "breaking" various tank classes & game mechanics in WoT and only now through the sandbox they are re-discovering "better" ways or re-balancing things, yet they are REPEATING the same pattern here..... WG never ever learn.....that is the most disappointing thing.

    Where are the Christmas convoy missions?

    With the new weekly mission Operation Excess is going to be a "success" with many of us achieving the missions......[sarcasm]....Ho HO fecking HO, mission 2 in T4 Cvs. Happy to get 50k credits and have to stop, as I do not play CV's. It is these types of missions they used as "evidence" for NOT originally giving us the Chrtistmas convoy..WGEU it is 2017 and you have a long list of New Years resolution's that you need to put into plce and Mr Schill it is your neck on the line with this community.

    Where are the Christmas convoy missions?

    Thanks for fixing THIS issue following very vociferous outcry by the playerbase and CM's give yourselves a part pat on the back. It is far from "coming up roses". As CM's (bar Tuccy - napalm dropping 1st post) you did the damage control as best you could with what you had. What you did badly was either not anticipating that this response was going to happen and did little to forestall it or you did see this happening and did NOT push back extremely hard to the higher ups. As for Mr Schill, poor show completely. If this issue never came up you would prefer to remain in the shadows. Yours is the ultimately repsonsibility for WG EU and frankly you fecked up. I am assuming here but if as a GM you are NOT doing the following being given the title as a GM is not what you are: 1. Listen to the CM's or if you are unsure look at the forums/social media yourself and get a feeling yourself. Getting information 2nd or 3rd hand is not effective and will lead to bad decisions. 2. If people working for you are performing poorly, give them the training or if that fails they need to be moved on or out. 3. Fight your corner harder against superiors/Head office (I accept you will not always win), utilise what you get from point 1. 4. Communicate with your playerbase. CEO in their annual accounts always give out a statement of some sort and the better ones give a "vision" of where they want to take the business, they usually face shareholders at the AGM. Not asking you for a week by week missive maybe 3/4 times a year. 5. Did not protect the integrity/respect/trust of WG or be honest with the community. All the above contributed massively to this failure. Trust takes time to build and gain, to lose it takes but one instance. As a community, you have been given such leniency but this episode well and truly shattered it. 6. Really apply lesons learned, do not give us false platitudes and no tangible action. The list could go on.... I understand you cannot give out sensitive commercial information but your general thought processes, how you plan events etc should be parts of any communication to the players. Give us the "perception" that WG is a professionally run business not the "clown" outfit we have seen all too often. This would be a small step in regaining the community's trust and respect. I am afraid still not going to renew my premium, need to see the outcome of the new captain skills. I left WoT more or less because of what you did there and came over to WoWs but you seem to want to tread the same path so leaving me with the sad option to leave depsite my love for warships.

    Public Test 0.6.0 Feedback - New Skill System

    Rather pointless in having Smoke Screen Expert as the RPF negates its usefulness. Without RPF, the smoke screen would be too much. Plus too many players ignore a smoke screen when you lay it down for them. Makes it far too easy and a "must" have now for DD's to clear out caps and hunt other DDs. As an IJN DD captain, CE was the the target for a level 5 skill (now 4) but RPF negates taking that skill now. I want stealthy tactics to be feasible, it is already hard enough with radar & hydrophones.

    Public Test 0.6.0 - General Feedback

    And going to post in new skills too. Absolutely pointless increasing smoke area by 20% when the radio skill negates it.

    Public Test 0.6.0 - General Feedback

    It is like Star Trek when a Klingon/Romulan starship cloaks/decloaks. Was tracking a Neptune behind an island and expected to see the bow then gradually rest of ship whenit clears the edge of island but it just "appears". Thought it was my eyes playing tricks. Converting free XP for captain skills IMO is going to really widen the gap between players as those who can "afford" to increase their captain skills at a much faster rate especially those who have lots of free XP accumulated.

    Where are the Christmas convoy missions?

    OK shooting the messenger is not fair but Ph3lan/Tuccy/MrConway all have voices and THEY should have kicked up a hell of fuss in the office before it got this far. Should have strongly escalated to head office and been persistent until at least somebody noticed. From the complete shambles this has become, blame can be applied to ALL those involved at WG.

    Why do I suck with the Benson so hard?

    Get Survival Expert rather than AFT or HE fire increase, the extra 3200HP makes a big difference in surviving a knife fight or if you do get tagged by a CA/BB, slink away then come back in again. About 900 metres of invisfiring without smoke is workable.
  24. If you did not see this from the "intersting info from RU" thread. Thanks to Takru for the translation. Takru, on 28 December 2016 - 05:24 PM, said: http://forum.worldof...mmander-skills/ Quote The stuff in bold red. Just face palm....as a DD player this is going to be really useful as a fecking chocolate teapot.
  25. WTF....."There will be specific skills, around which interesting tactics can be built. For example, Radio Position Finding will let destroyers and cruisers effectively specialize in fighting for points and hunting destroyers". Typical WG PR trying to pull the "wool over our eyes", it is going BUFF BB babies, it going to be extremely hard for a remaining DD to carry a match at the end. As a someone who likes predominantly likes playing a DD, this WAS NOT one of the skills that I need to help me nor in a million years thought of to enhance my play. Map and basic ship knowledge is what I use and would rather spend the captain points on others mechanics . Doubt that WG would provide any stats/number of DD/CA players who wanted this. Proably less than 1%, all made up by devleoipers who do not appear to play the game much....
