Bellegar

Yay thank you sir

Yeah, the OP is asking for cheats (which is against the rules), but the posts bringing a bit of humor (which is not against the rules) are being edited Apparently the forums changed ownership. They're now owned by that dictator (sorry, no names as naming and shaming is not allowed here ) who kills people when they dare to have a laugh But then again, when were these forums ever properly moderated? It was at best decent during the BigBadVuk days of early CBT. Now let's see how long it takes them to edit this post.... place your bets ladies and gentlemen

Totally unrelated, but I hope the quote notifications gets your attention I have a question Can the French BB missions still drop from containers opened after the update? I already have Bretagne and Normandy missions completed, and I have not dropped the Lyon and Richelieu missions (yet )... is it still possible to get them after the update from both containers collected before and after the update?

Still won't use it. Probably still the most useless feature in the game. No matter how much they 'improve' it, I will never use the ramming assist

Haha thought something like that, when you only replied with 'wilco'

Just saw @Troublemaker_CRO in his Hindenburg on my team. He was a bit bullied by our Missouri, but he came third on the scoreboard so I guess he had a good game. I had a good game in the Kurfürst as well, enemy ships just seemed to evaporate once we spotted them. Unfortunately for my campaign progress, Troublemaker kept me from being third on the board Just kidding..... love you Just like last time it was a pleasure playing with you

It might have to be tweaked a little, but to be fair, every community event we get over here has a positive vote from me

I have to agree with the OP. Having a league system where apparently the leages don't matter is bad design. Yes, in regular matches you get more points for winning and lose hardly anything for losing, but does that still mean it's fun? Doubtable. But, as @eliastion, already said, this is not the case for the progression games. You already need a 60% winrate over those 5 games to progress, it shouldn't be made any harder by throwing in a clan 2 leagues higher than you. If this happens, the league system is flawed. This MM should not be defended, especially for the progression games. I agree, there's much you can learn from going up against a better clan, but that should only happen in regular battles, where you're not punished for the expected loss. Fighting a clan 2 leagues higher in sometig as important as a progression match just proves the league system is badly implemented. Why have a league system if anybody can face anybody anyways? I know, I know.... "it's rare so it's okay". No it's not. World Wars are also rare. Does that make them okay too?

Well in the past, they were hiding it a bit better. This time, they literally said this as they release a sister ship.

Probably yes. The upcoming Campaign also rewards containers on the PTS, so if that carries over to live, there's plenty of those containers to collect.

So now that we're testing faster shell splashes on the PTS, I thought it would be interesting to see how many of us forumites want the new or old splashes. WG seems to think a change is necessary due to negative feedback on the present splashes, but a lot of people in the PTS section are saying they prefer the old ones. So a poll, to see what's actually the general opinion on this. Share your reasoning below

There are indeed a bit less BBs in games today (I had a game with only 1 BB per side ) due to the torp mission I guess. But I'm definately seeing more and more one sided landslide games lately

I'll start by voting for the current splashes. The new ones feel too much sped up, like the game's playing on 1.25x speed. And I don't see the problem with the current splashes. Yes, view sometimes gets blocked, well then hold your fire for a second. It's not like your dpm will drop that much. Besides, if a target gets focussed down this much, I don't mind it having this teeny tiny advantage. With that magnitude of incoming fire, it deserves it.

Yeah this was a very stupid part. I was struck with awe at what they were actually admitting. I mean WTF. You might as well scrap the concept of silver ships and make us pay for every ship we want to play if you keep the 'proper' ships for premiums. I also liked how defensive Evin got in chat when someone (I think it was @IsamuKondera) pointed out that there was a huge Imperial German Flag hanging on the wall, yet they can't seem to put it in game. "We don't care that Dice is having no legal trouble with the flag, we make our own decision yadda yadda yadda"

Oh yeah that's right. I also love the new wave foam

I really like the effects of the thunderstorm. This is exactly what Cyclones should look like. I don't like the 'nerfed' water splashes from shells. It was perfect the way it was. It looks really stupid now, all sped up. If they're in the way, just wait a sec before you shoot long reloading guns. Really, I don't see the need for change here. If anything, it gave a nice albeit very small advantage to a highly focussed down ship. What's wrong with that?

Yes, if this is not a bug it's highly unwanted and needs to go, and it should be in the patch notes WG. If it is a bug, please fix it before live, it's very annoying, especially with fast moving planes

It's not only for AA, also for secondaries. Very annoying. Not sure if this is a but or an unwanted feature, but it needs to go asap. If you insist on keeping it, at least make it a toggle in the options (single or double click).

Fully agree with the OP. Looks amazing, and if there's so much fire incoming on a target, then it's only fair for focussed down ships to have that slight bit of advantage. People should start to be patient. "you can't always get what you want"

I can do that. I won't understand a word they're saying, so it wouldn't really bother me Besides, I quite like the French narcissism stereotype (perhaps nationalist is a better word). That together with my love for all things shiny make me love that camo so much. I think it fits the stereotype really nice, without being offensive.

OMG that thing is so over the top That thing is so amazing, I would practically do anything to get that

She really said that? Please, anybody who knows about this, share some background information. I sense popcorn incoming

Aww okay. Looking forward to the announcement regardless (and to that flag feature!)

I also like these kind of conversations. That's why I bothered to write all those long posts in the first place. Serious and constructive discussions are such a rare thing on these forums Well, to be completely honest with you, I was done with that discussion, and the thread moved on. But Mr_Tayto responded to me, so I deemed it only fair to give him a fair response as well. No, I'm not. As to the how and why, see below. Please remember that the post you quoted initially, was a response to justadude as clarification on a few arguments I made in my first big post (the one that's been recommended by dasCKD). I do not blame the quality of gameplay on age related cognitive decline (thank you justadude btw, that was the term I was looking for with my "decline in brain power" ), all I initially did was use two examles (one being an older inexperienced guy) to describe why I thought this mission set was a bad idea. Justadude then commented on me using the age thing in my example (I admit that may have been a bad move) which resulted in me clarifying what I meant. That post was in no way an argument or even reason for the low quality of gameplay we experience. All it was was clarification on an example I used to underline why I think this event/mission set/whatever is a bad idea. I used the age thing primarily to emphasize the broad variety of people that play this game (both of my examples are very plausible). Seeing the discussions it brought forth, I admit I may have failed miserably in that regard And did I really say seniors? Well that wasn't a very polite way to put it was it. That sounds way harsher than it was meant. I blame writing after midnight Well I may be young and sort of healthy, but trust me, I am NOT fit, agile or flexible. In fact I use to joke how science should hurry up with those head transplantations so they can put my brain on a normal functioning body. My best friend always disagrees. He says there's no hope left and my body is just a walking corpse So no, this definately is not it Unfortunately yes, yes I did......

Hehehe, they can, but they realise BB gameplay is too boring so they play DDs and CAs More serious though: I do. I'm younger than 27 (just), lots of gaming experience, strong brains (well..... at least I think so. As a teacher and aircraft engineer *some* people seem to depend on my brain ) and I mostly play BBs. Not a fantastic player, but with a winrate of 55% I think I'm slightly above average. In the end it will all average out of course. Some young experienced gamers will fail horribly, some old guys that never played games before might become unicums. Doesn't change the facts about averages and 'in general's. And don't be depressed, nobody is average. The average person would have somewhere between 1 and 2 legs, eyes, arms, lungs and whatnot, as well as one tit and half a p€nis
