Which forum members have you seen in random battles?
OldGrandad replied to Cobra6's topic in General Discussion
Apparently it has been a recent purchase, otherwise he has played it little since buying it. He is infinitely better than some of my team mates tonight! -
Me too thought it would have been as it is/was on offer in game on the NA server.

3rd SC, 3rd time 5,000,000 credits. Can't complain at all, it is a great way of earning whilst playing..... Money goes toward the Edinburgh fund (yes I am a masochist!) -
I think you are missing the Op's tongue in cheek observation as to how easy RN cruisers 'melt' when anything remotely looking like a shell hits the ship! I feel the pain...... Even with flags etc that only lessens the chance and I lost the lottery twice last night.
-
Only one tier 10 ship at the moment (Khaba) but those that get to tier 10 are serious players, so I am sure they will accept paying a one off payment to lessen ongoing costs with their preferred T10 ship(s).
-
Pointless as like others have said the karma system is poorly implemented. Had more down votes due to enemy players not liking being sunk etc. PS. The OP had a hissy fit noting his edited first post. Just wait until BBV sees someone using his beloved red font colour......

We never see the ROFL stomp victory threads to counter the whining 'I was on the ROFL stomped team' threads, why? I empathise with IJ but suck it up as I know that it will balance out eventually. It only takes 30% of the team to be (in your terms 'potatoes') poor players to upset the balance if the opposing team are just average. Remember, you cannot have it all, all of the time........

OldGrandad replied to ThePurpleSmurf's topic in General Discussion
Are you mad? Gee, I am raking in more than I would with missions as sometimes they were ship bound so you had to use a certain type of ship and, you only could do them in random or ranked. I can now count in millions the amount of credits I have got and in hundreds for flags, for me I am keeping the containers. A random carp for you.... -
Tin foil cap time again....... As an Alpha tester you really need to know better. RNG deals you good and bad within a battle not in selected battles.

You could not have played them when they first appeared, they were so strong (remember the fast turret turn?). I flew through them prior to their nerf and if a ship was (at that time) poor was the Yorck with its then, BB turret turn time. Will agree that tiers 2 to 6 inclusive are 'tricky' to play, as soon as you get used to them. waxx is right, you are performing below what is needed in them so come bleating to the forum. If they do not suit you do not play them, that is simple enough for you? I am not very good in them, but because I know others are doing well in them, I know the failure is me and not the ship. Learn from that last line...........

I have to prepare my next months calendar at work well in advance, would be nice to get at least a basic monthly event calendar prepared here. You can always update on the fly.....

It is safe, you can always scan it after downloading prior to installing.

Sorry, I meant after you have downloaded it.

A friend I division with uses an old laptop, poor framerates, low textures etc and he has not complained about the last update. If you feel there are significant issues now, as Akula has said, raise a ticket and they may suggest some things to try, You did deserve the flak though as coming in and venting your anger..........

It works fine for me. Have you tried right-clicking on it and 'Run as Administrator'?

Super Container Loot Thread [ topics merged ]
OldGrandad replied to ThePurpleSmurf's topic in General Discussion
It is a bizarre pattern without a doubt as to how some of you got your SC's. For the first 10 or so containers all I ever received was 5 flags each (still was happy to receive something) but decided then to swap to choose the flag/camo container. Out of around 7 or 8 of those containers 2 were SC's yielding 2 x 5,000,000 credits. This is by far the best implementation of rewarding players whilst playing, and I want to personally thank WG for making me happier about earning whilst playing. Please accept my applause. -
But you haven't played a battle yet so what is your point you troll?
-
In as many battles not seen one as you describe so you must be unlucky. Most battles have been full of advice as to how the team wants to complete the challenge, many losses and one win but lots of communication from full teams.

Yes, was pleasantly surprised to see the lights go off and confirmation of my first SC yesterday - 5,000,000 credits with which I am very thankful for -
On the NA server.

Update, just played one battle with Igor and have to say this is really a team focussed event. You all have to play well together and focus on targets. I loved it as it really forced players to work together as otherwise you will lose. Yes I (we) did lose but still sailed away with a camo that gives 100% extra XP. You have a treat in store for Halloween as this in my eyes surpasses what they did last year. All the best to all of you during this event.

I just love karma, OP rants and names a player, said player then comes to the forum and highlights what a complete idiot the OP was and how it all happened. Pure karma........

?% chance for getting super-container
OldGrandad replied to Hades_warrior's topic in General Discussion
First 3 tries went for 'Try your luck' and just got 5 flags each time. Went for signals every time since and lucky enough to get 500 free XP in each container, I can live with that. Can someone do the math for me please? Patch on the 20th and 3 opportunities every day to get a container, that's 15 opportunities so far (up to yesterday), right? Just wondering why some here are stating 19 and 20 times they have tried....
