@DaWyrm You may be pleased with this particular snippet from the 0.5.1 patch notes; MatchMaker: For Random & Ranked Battles Carriers now will be strongly symmetrical in terms of their tiers regardless of waiting time

Hi tacticalpr0lap5e, Admittedly content has been slow in arriving, but I guess with more complex models to create, those will take considerably longer to make and to be readied for use. We are on the eve of the largest update we have had so maybe best to reconsider making critique until after it is released. Like you, I can find a lot still that I would like to see addressed but I know what is coming and that takes away some of my concerns.

Hi Fi, All I can say is wow! As most will know I an not an accomplished DD sailor and prefer CA's but this little beauty suits me just fine. Had the best result of them all yesterday in a tier 8 battle where I managed to get all six torps hit a North Cal at 7km, sunk in one! This was whilst having a run of wins before I started to lose and then coffee beckoned..........

I am going to stop you there. I was part of this event volunteering to give up a lot of my free time to engage players on the server, and hopefully reward as many players as I could. I went into this with the ethos that I would not 'dominate' but to try to balance the battle to ensure the best team won. I was sunk many times by the enemy team whilst in the 'Witch' and they rightfully won and only one time did I 'dominate' a battle, and that was only because I was the last one of my team alive facing 6 enemy ships (yes, I did this time sink them all). There were some I fear, that took the event as seriously as you describe but going forwards, there will be strict guidelines to follow instead of going in 'gung ho'. Please remember, this was an event thrust upon the EU community at a very late date, with which I will apologise on behalf of those involved. With the knowledge garnered from this event and the organising of it I know in future we can do it better.

@scouser - No disrespect, that was a facepalm decision of yours to relinquish premium ships that you paid with hard earned (I am presuming) cash for in game currency. I can recall a few posts/threads in the past stating that only 1 ship can be reinstated but for the like of me why not grind your premiums to earn the necessary cash? A good friend managed to grind 6 million in only a few days with a premium DD in order to purchase a high tier DD. Ok, what you bought was (again I am presuming) significantly more expensive and yes, it would have taken longer but at least at the end you would still have your premium as well as the necessary credits to purchase your desired ship. Sorry, but this deserves.......

I have a simple rule, 2 strikes and I am out. Why? I know I put the same effort into every battle, and as much as I will accept my losing team did not pull their weight after one loss, when it happens immediately again I give it a break. Again why? One poster said it was just stats and figures, that is only partially correct., (I will only quote for myself here), I am passionate about wanting to win and when I have like minded team members that are seemingly on the same wavelength, that is when you have that great battle. But, on the polar opposite, a team that are just seemingly clueless as to what to do frustrates me, but I do accept this happens, so go into battle again. When it happens yet again, frustration builds so as not to let myself make any daft decision whilst being frustrated I stop for a good old coffee, and another, and another..............

Try putting more effort into it and you will find you get more out of it.

Yup

Stab in the dark but I will put my money on DirectX. Get your friend to reinstall the latest DirectX for his very old rig. get him to respond with results.

*Places garlic in all 4 corners of post. Am currently on the Gnevny and am having fun with it. Using it primarily as a DD hunter and then a scavenger, hunting for the maimed and vulnerable. *Takes the garlic down and leaves............

@Antony1953 - If your nick is giving your age away have no fear about it, there are many of a similar age (I am only a few years younger!) playing this game. If you want more advice feel free to ask, even by PM. @TheCommunity. This thread shows that when needed you can all pull together and help someone who needs a little help. Well done to you all.

I go on the NA server from time to time and the ping holds steady around 100 and for me the gameplay is smooth, For the rest, I tried to be the voice of reason but that has not helped. This thread has spiralled into a pit of spiteful venom and the only thing you all are doing is dividing this community. For those that are holding up their placards complaining about bundles need to take them into battle with them, not wave them here before a very small crowd. A sad day when a WG decision to do what they do leads to such insults and hate.

I say some here should stop criticizing the bundles and the players who bought them. Start crticizing WG for not having a secondary option for buying the vanilla ship and slot. This is not about WG forcing bundles down your throat as you have to option to buy or not but what IS the problem is not having the option in the first place. With that last point I am behind you all the way, but please do not try and make me and others that have bought the bundle feel guilty, it just will not work. There has to be unity in a point of context agreed by the community as a whole, and that is we want choice and not just a singular option.

mtm, get it, it is so worth it! As for unification only Premium time was unified at the start of WoWp, XP was unified a month later (10/12/13), not too sure about currency? Me too, have a pot full in WoWP/WoT but unlikely to spend a great deal there, roll on!

Not exactly a boost but, in 0.5.1 the armor plating of Baltimore and Des Moines has been thickened by 2 mm. Hmm, Yamato is trembling..........

1. Not just the new maps, they have tweaked a few of the old maps as well. 2. MatchMaker: For Random & Ranked Battles Carriers now will be strongly symmetrical in terms of their tiers regardless of waiting time 3. WG have not changed their stance regarding 'friends' who want to play with each other (sounds so wrong!) in different tiered ships. I agree, it must have a tier difference limitation. 4. Absolutely no changes were made to the Midway, closest possible change is - Aircraft torpedoes' chance of causing a flooding has been reduced by approximately half. 5. Well, until more players arrive at tier 10 you will get more chance of unbalanced battles. Of course to suit you, WG could ensure that battles will remain totally symmetrical and battle start will not start until teams are 100% equal before commencing. Overall (*proposed) changes are very welcome. The one thing that stands out head and shoulders above the rest is the inclusion of Events, Challenges and Missions for players reaching level 10. Of course those German CA buffs have not come too soon, but even then I do not think they are quite enough. Intro Mission is laughable, it is so broken (yet again they never heed our advice) that it offers very little to a new player venturing into the game for the first time. For you guys to test it, you will need to create a new account then join the Public Test to see what I mean, would love to get non-testers to give feedback. But, to do it correctly, forget that you ever have played WoWs and only follow on screen instructions to the letter. At last got a decent carousel and filter, helps those that have already built up a large fleet. Overall, I will give it 7/10

Well, I tested her along with many other ST'ers and immediately I liked it. I do purchase Doubloons now and then so all in all it is a good deal so I went out and purchased it. 2 battles and 2 wins later and nearly 7k XP against her name I can say it was worth it. Oh the sound of those 12 guns going off in 1 salvo! But, I do understand those who want a 'vanilla' option and I agree they should offer both and not just a bundle, 'tis only fair.

For a chap of my age, and still using a quill pen, it is taking ages to write down up to 15 names a time with which some names are so bizarre it takes me up to a minute for each one to decipher

Hello Finnka, I have had graphical issues but lucky enough to post them in the Supertester forum but you are right, we need a public place to post bugs. As for your issue (and anyone else that suffers issues), as soon as you have an issue that makes you force close the game, before you restart the game zip up the python.log and attach it to a post along with your dxdiag report. How to acquire your dxdiag report Please give as much detail as to what you were doing up until the moment of the crash. Regards, Ducat

I am not, there must be an error then on my earnings, It is multiplied but not by the original amount, To give an example, prior to the 'patch' with the 40/60x multiplier I could immediately research the next ship and more, now I have to do 4 or 5 battles per ship to grind then research the next ship. Saying that, I am having other bugs with the test server client so I am not surprised!

This has happened a couple of times whilst I have sailed in the Witch. Last battle the enemy team had 6 more players and unfortunately 2 of them spawned in the cap (on Big Race) so were easy pickings. The event is over after tomorrow so I doubt this sort of bug will occur again.

Any mod that modifies 'consumer_main_scene_low.swf' will have this effect. Includes the Training Room enabler and....... aim assist

In one word, yes. It was easy with the 40x and 60x mulitpliers in the last PT patch but now it will be much harder to grind because earnings are much less.
