  1. A bit of a head scratching reply to the OP? Firstly, the OP was relating to 2 battles that happened to have uncoordinated teams in both battles, it happens. You though, interpret this as the end of the game (world)? Anyway, thank you for your very joyful post to start the week off with.

    Damage counter is still not working all the time. Some battles it works, others it does not. Old one was faultless so not sure what is wrong with the updated one.

    How to confiscate his Kitakami?

    Spamming the Battle button, nearly 4000 battles. I am starting to lose faith with WG as the T/K system is a proven failure. I have invested more into this game than most (time and effort with my role included), but I am starting to wane somewhat seeing these reports of constant and regular teamkillers. These reports are appearing more and more on these forums, showing how bad it really is as doing so, these posters are obviously showing their frustration with the obvious lack of action from WG. I know this thread will have to be locked and binned, but I hope the moderators will leave it up just long enough for decent and rule abiding players so that they can note this T/K'ers name down. T/K, I still ask why?

    Game lockups and bugs

    Am on Virgin as well but do not suffer what you describe. Maybe having some more details on your set up may help in pointing towards a possible solution?

    The damage counter either works, and your damage values that appear over ships do not appear or the damage counter does not work and the damage values DO appear over the ship.

    Crazy good AI aiming

    From 0.5.1 patch notes: AI ChangesImproved behavior for AI-controlled ships on maps. Now AI-controlled ships move in formations. Destroyers stay closer to islands, battleships keep away from islands and aircraft carriers move about in safer areas, instead of going straight to the center of the mapImproved behavior for AI-controlled ships, in the event of accidental collision with the landscape They have always been accurate, just plain stupid before. Now they have these changes you may very well be targeted by multiple AI ships.
  8. Simply quoting you to agree with a very balanced response. To put it simply, if I ever get a problem or have an issue regarding a product I contact the seller/manufacturer, I never go out into the streets and shout about it. I mean why? Apart from liking the sound of your own voice it hardly serves a purpose, does it? Many here state there is hardly any WG presence so all you are doing is complaining to the forum masses and not the people that your issues surround. Just come out of the game and the current server population sits at 21k, of course it is lower than release but to make some sort of conclusion within months is bizarre.

    Please help ( Client delay )

    Try doing a pingplotter report As stated previously, overclocking CPU's can cause issues with the game (my i5 is to 4.5ghz but do not suffer issues). Try reducing the clock in the BIOS (or by the GUI if it is available).

    Is this really worth almost 2000XP?

    Also, reasonable XP is rewarded to aiding a cap with which you got, yesterday I got 11k XP in my Lolorado which was aided by getting a cap all on my own (yes, in that old tug!) and denying the enemy capping another. DD's are the best recipients of these XP reward changes, as it was often noted previously, that a DD can cap for their team with little reward for doing so yet caps reward points for the team. A good change as it also promotes more aggressive play.

    Strange sh1t is certainly happening, for the first time today in a very long time I suffered very similar issues as the OP. I quit and rejoined much later and all was well.
  12. It is 'fixed', even the author says so. Or, are you the victim of someone that can aim well without artificial aids? Please have proof before claiming there are aim mods, no reason to stoke ashes that are nearly burnt out.

    Camouflage not working after update.

    I believe the camo does make a difference but it is not adjusted in the stats.

    Steel Ocean will not be a threat to WoWS

    Say no more.....

    Please can you put your dxdiag report into a spoiler. I noted immediately your graphics drivers are months out of date, I suggest updating the the newest driver and try again.

    Please help ( Client delay )

    What you are experiencing is graphical lag and I have to say I have never seen it as bad as those examples. It appears that your GFX card is drawing your ship many frames later than it should. Can you attach your dxdiag report to a reply? How to acquire your dxdiag report.
  17. This. Initial interest is always artificially high due to inquisitiveness, and once those that realise the game is not for them (after all the subject is in a small niche) they fade away or if from another WG game regress back to that. There will always be a solid core of players as the subject is dear to them and as displayed here there will be those that like the game but not enough to keep them here (for a variety of reasons). Debating the health of a game so early in its life is not really representative, you need to look at it after a full year and make a conclusion as to what direction it is taking then. Take WoWp for an example, another niche subject but at this time of its life was very healthy indeed. It was decisions made by their developers that drove many away without taking heed of the communities voices. As for WoWs, I know there is a lot coming, more than enough to maintain my interest so with that in mind I feel quite happy with the direction it is going.

    Zombie mode

    Admittedly I have..... just the once. Sorry, as much as I want to meet a lovely merbarmaid I will skip the idea.........

    Zombie mode

    No school today? Ok, I have a day off as well but I can tell you that nothing like that is going through my mind.......

    Why zone is a Fail?

    The community complained enough about the old standard game (that brought about many draws), the devs actually did something about it and gave us a points to win game. Zone, is not a lot better than the old game mode, every game I have had in Zone has resulted in a draw. But, the battles that I was part of in Zone were intense (many ships sunk unlike examples shown here) but it comes down to hunting down the last remaining few when the cap still has a couple of DD's that are very adept at avoiding being destroyed. I am not complaining about this but merely raising the point as it is 2 steps back rather than 1 step forward.

    Steel Ocean will not be a threat to WoWS

    You must be on something they give to horses I made the mistake of downloading it going through the laughable tutorial, trying to clean my glasses all the time but realising too late the visuals are that blurry..... Everything is just so wrong. Trying to put this game into perspective, dad plays WoWs whilst he lets his 5yr old son play Steel Plastic Ocean. Ship movement is laughable, much like Scalextrix cars on a track. I would have accepted this game in this state circa 2000 not 2015. I am reclaiming my HD space right now!
  22. Those are not offers that can relate to us here at the EU, for instance their 'offer' of 360 days premium at 82% off @ £63.61 is more expensive than our current standard price of £56.92. But, I know where you are coming from. I do understand some concerns but if I felt as passionate about the state of play as you do I would have packed my bags and left long ago. Unfortunately, the voices heard here on the EU are relatively small compared to the total players who sail on in the game and they pay quite happily. As much some aspects leave me displeased, this game really has not been around that long, more so in comparison with WoT. My investment in the game is large compared with a majority as I also put time into it away from the actual 'play' and the reason I do that is that I still have faith in it. If it 'cheats' on me (much like my ex-wife!) I will kick it into touch just as quickly and move on without a bye or leave. Horses for courses.

    Imperator Nikolai I, Tier IV Soviet Battleship

    Sailed well it will earn you a lot of credits and XP as it can deal out a lot of damage, and as you know damage equals XP and credits!

    New Supertesters.

    Hello, I am satisfied with what I do, what gets released has nothing to do with me nor my fellow testers. Whether I agree or disagree with what is released is nothing to do with the self satisfaction I gain from testing. Regarding the current unbalance damage models, the devs have already openly apologised for releasing untested changes, and already today I have been testing for a couple of hours the fixes to those changes. For obvious reasons I cannot discuss my findings but what I will say is that I am happy with the changes, but, no matter our findings (it took me 30 minutes to post results) we still have to bow down to what the devs want to release. I would appreciate that fellow players give us Supertesters a bit of slack now you understand what we have to do, and our limitations when it comes to updates, patches and bug fix releases from the development team. Regards, Ducat
