Ok, so you are a very, VERY good player and you get put into a team that have absolutely no clue what to do. Are you to say, because of your superior skill and knowledge you will carry a win on your own? Of course not, you will lose horribly. That is the luck of the game. Even with very good division members if the odds are against you, you lose as simply as that. Thankfully I am boringly average and I am far to shy to wave my ePeen™ out in public.......

Winrate has nothing to do with how good the individual player is. For those that are statistically minded would take that factor out of the equation and work around damage done by what ships in what tiers and create a formula from that. I have had some of my best games (damage and kill wise) in lost battles and I am sure many here have done so as well. Very eloquently put. Have fun first and foremost and the moment you are not having fun, quit, it helps!

Yellow, ah yes the chicken tag, goes along with our pink t'k'ers........

Go to whatever drive your game is installed to: Games\World_of_Warships\Updates and delete all files in the Updates folder and start the launcher again. Ah, you answered when I did! Ok, ensure that WoWs is not blocked by your security software/firewall that sometimes causes similar issues.

This +100 Going back to 2 Brothers, I really cannot recall a bad game on it win or lose, always action left, right and centre. Arguments against this map can be said against all the maps, it is the way play pans out that determines judgement of said map. I was in map building over 15 years ago and balance was always the first aspect to put into the design and 2 Brothers holds that balance. Anyway, this is only my own personal opinion and I would vote every day to keep this map.

There are those of us that have been engaged in testing this game for up to and well over a year now and none have received 'payment' other than thanks for aiding in the development. I am of the old school and am one who is most grateful when someone says thank you for something I have done for them, that is payment enough. You on the other hand have not been here long at all and are expecting some sort of payment? You should be grateful that those that have preceded you have helped to get the game to where it is now and open to players such as you, you need to thank them, not expect payment. Yes, the game is still in development as most games are and as it stands this games Beta tag emphasises that. Be grateful, not beg. Your statement is a bit of a misnomer. many players DO want to play this, and I quote you "this unpolished and very, very early-in the making game". It's no fun? With your seemingly poor views of this game why are you still here? If I was in your position and very unhappy with a game for whatever reason I would simply walk away and not put effort in trying to make others understand how I felt. Bottom line is; Shape up or ship out

Replays will work independent to dropping them onto the game executable. One question, are you using the NA client but wanting to play battles played on the EU server? Never thought to try and play battles played on a different server to the client, I see a test coming on.......

Just to lighten up this subject.....

You continue to label (or in your misguided words 'most') supertesters as the core miscreants. If those particular individuals have no morals it does not mean we all do not. For your information, other means of controlling the map borders are being investigated (I cannot say more as what we test is still covered by our NDA) but until then we have to 'bite the bullet' and hope those that are supposedly more responsible start playing in a more 'honourable' way. On a side note, yesterday whilst in my Myoko an enemy Cleveland was drifting along the border and firing upon me. I immediately voiced my concerns of the abuse of the map border and he immediately apologised and moved away. For me that was good enough and I would like to think more would/will take that players action when confronted.

One polite and pleasant player makes up for 100 obnoxious players. As for the game, we all know it still is a work in progress so getting upset over any particular reason is unfathomable. Too much to enjoy, try working long hours, now that is a reason to quit!

Ok, we all have our 'monkey on my back' ships and I will agree with the OP on this one, Furutaka was mine too. One poster said play it like it was a light weight battleship and that is what is frustrating, she does! She was classed as a heavy cruiser and is not as good as she ought to be in her position. Maybe in the future when we have more classes she will get moved to her respective line but until then, I still have my 'monkey on my back'!

I am not sure as to when you (the OP) joined us testing, but if you joined after the swap of the Myoko and the Mogami you should realise why these 2 ships were swapped. I recalled getting the Mogami after the Aoba and what a dream ship it was. It was not long before it was crowned the most OP ship class for class/tier for tier as with it's 155mm's equipped it was a fiery monster! Then came the low point getting the then tier 8 Myoko, it was really that bad a downgrade at the time I would have much rather played WoT (ok, I was joking there but you get my drift!). Thankfully the devs swapped them around and they now make sense game wise and historically (Myoko commissioned in 1929 and Mogami in 1935). I am still very early on in my Myoko's grinding and cannot wait until I get the Mogami!

Hello, my last battle in a Kongo just ended in a draw but for me and my team that was a positive result. The reason behind the draw was my desire to retrieve a result from what should have been a resounding victory for the enemy. I was the sole survivor with 2 CV's, 2 BB's and a DD. The DD was in our cap with the timer ticking away after he killed my last team mate, I managed to get to the cap whilst under fire from BB's only then to be assaulted by 2 waves of torp bombers and the DD's torps. I held them off for a draw so a moral victory for me. That is why I agree with it. I played as hard as I could ever do and, if at the end was given a loss no matter that I had worked harder than the rest of the enemy, I would have been extremely bitter about it.

Again, your opinion can be seen as flawed. What if the fewer ships remaining had done considerably more damage than the greater enemy team? See, it is hard to balance so the current system works better than anything else. The only flaw would be team tactics, not the system. omgwtflolz, on 28 July 2015 - 04:57 PM, said: Thats a whole lot of crap in one post. You dont even understand your own game and whats wrong with the standard battle games and its draws. No, you are wrong it is the players who do not understand. As you are so vitriolic in your opinion of the game you must have a balanced, structured reasoning as to why it is failing in your eyes, please without bias explain?

I commented on your teams tactics. As you pointed out many times your team killed 2 enemy BB's in THEIR cap, why not occupy it when they were killed? For your information I despise those that abuse game mechanics but we have to live with it until there is a remedy. So, you, with your chip on your shoulder when it comes to Supertesters (and probably everyone in a degree of authority) need to understand we are players as well as testers. Oh, by the way, check my stats out, no I do not sail CV's so nothing to see here, pass on by.....

I would say well done to the enemy CV for outwitting and outplaying you. In all honesty how can you complain? And no one intervened in the meantime? I note 3 ships closing in on the enemy CV but were sailing away from the enemy cap, chasing the last kill? Really, it is a team fail for not calling out earlier to cap, leaving the ally CV's to keep the enemy CV occupied.

One thing to note, when updates happen they happen at different times in all the regions so if you have an NA client for example you will find that it will update if you use an NA account but will not if you choose EU at the log in screen. I suggest that if you have the NA client, download the EU client and modify the scripts_config.xml in that client (to use multiple accounts) and delete the NA client. I do that with my EU client and have accounts in all but the Asian region and it is fun seeing what is going on elsewhere!

Ensure the game is not running when writing to preferences.xml either. Can you post the area of the file where you placed the code for replays?

Really? You are complaining about this show of MM? Yesterday, I was in a division with 2 friends who needed to grind tier 4's, I was in the Myogi, one in a Wyoming and the other in a Kuma. Ok, press 'Battle'....... we were on TS together and collectively we all went 'what???' ended up on North against tier 7 ships, ship happens!

@Rybak1999, from the way that you have written your tale of woe without resorting to the same vitriol you suffered from some of the other players I would say I would rather have 1 of you on my team instead of 100 of those miscreants. Take a break and before you return ensure you have replays enabled as it will do you a lot of good in the long run. Take care, Ducat

@Mister_Greek, as you do not have replays enabled (a sin in itself!) can you recall any of your team mates names? Would be worth a pot of gold for a replay of that battle!

You will get this issue if you have Collision Avoidance switched on in settings. If, when near a land mass and Collision Avoidance kicks in it overrides direction keys so it leaves you to frantically stab at the keys to start going where you want and not the darned stupid AI! As for the other issues that is quite bizarre but knowing both of you have the same keyboard asks a question, is it really compatible with WoWs? If possible, try another keyboard, ensure your PC has been rebooted and try again to see if the issue remains.

The joy of dual accounts, logged onto the NA server whilst the hamster was fed in the EU

So, you would leave before the game is over and decided (well decided for you it seems!) and leave the remainder of your team struggling? With such a poor attitude as that I suggest that any team is better off without you.

That does not make you any different......
