Captain Seagull (Colorado): Anshan, why don't you do something? Me (Anshan): I am dead......

NA server updated already, notes as below; Started closed Beta testing for Clans! XP required to retrain Commander now shows properly Fixed bug with "unnatural-sounding" shots Shortened and lightened sounds of shells hitting water Improved wind sounds in surrounding environment Fixed occasional game crash after buying a ship through a personal offer Fixed an issue which stranded ships in battle Adjusted incorrect price of Premium ship Perth from 4,200 Doubloons to 4,800 (Premium Shop price is not affected.) (Note this for the NA server).

Firstly, the Phoenix did nothing wrong and all the blame lies with the dumb(my edit) OP. Can only see one penalty for this and that would be some sort of game ban. New players, watch this as this will show you how not to play doing nothing for 80% of the battle does not help your team let alone sinking someone who was trying to be pro-active. Final nail?

PvE does not need increased payments or reduced costs (depending on your angle) to match PvP but a different format to make it appealing and dare say it, more relaxing. Halloween was a good example of a PvE mode that could be employed, but one point I do not agree on is improved payments to anywhere near match PvP. Maybe increase credits earned but offset that by only 25% XP earned to ensure there is a need for PvP to actively grind ships with. Just no on so many different levels. I dislike the idea of players thinking they can sink money into a game so as to increase their chances of winning, they show themselves up as poor players (in attitude or skill).

Why not revert to the original title? Pfft......

Quite simply the dumbest comment in this entire thread. I would accept your point of view except it (DD) is the least played class for you and only 2 battles in a Mutsuki above tier 5. Any class is easy to play, to master them is a different thing.

Alas apostrophe, I knew him A full stop, a full stop, my kingdom for a full stop To comma, or not to comma: that is the question O Punctuation, Punctuation! wherefore art thou Punctuation In seriousness, this is another complaint about something that will never go away. How many battles have you witnessed BB players going backwards at the start? Forever snipe? I would never say most BB players play like the OP describes, it is just that those that do so, stick out the most. To be honest a lot of good DD players will want them to stay as they tend to be the easiest to sink!

2 days ago but was a great way to lighten the mood. Me (to all enemies) - Sell me your children, and your women (think scene from Blues Brothers in restaurant) and i won't torp you. Enemy 1 - have all mine Enemy 2 - My wife and my ex.... Enemy 3 - Do you take both as a package? it started a great chat dialogue between both teams and made it a fun experience (made a change from some of the hate filled comments I witnessed yesterday!).

Even during the day yesterday it was bad at T9/T10. Me and a bud in 2 cruisers, the rest of the team, 5 BB's and 5 DD's............

No it is not, PvE is an 'easy' mode to either train, test or simply relax in. You can lose money in PvP at high tiers so where is the problem? 5 kills in PvE is not exactly hard (I have killed all 8 for example) and earnings are set at 50% to reflect that. Yes, more likely a 'glitch' in the bots code, they do sometimes 'camp' at spawn points (making it even easier!) so you are better off raising that with support. Yes, team line ups could do with a more random MM including BB's and CV's. Personal opinion time: Co-op should be revamped. Done.

It does, you just do not torp correctly. A pound for every TK thread started like this, next year we will be millionaires........

Edited to suit. In all honesty Ocean is a breath of fresh air and I am glad to see it in the rotation now. Since grinding my Edinburrrrrr I have played on Ocean quite a bit and believe me, playing in a tinplate ship that attracts AP like a magnet it is quite the challenge. To say it is rare now (one T8 player asking if it was a new map) is an understatement and needs to be rolled out a little more often, more so for the lower tiers (5 to 7). Playing a Minekaze (or clone) with a 15 point captain is a blast on Ocean, learn to play to the maps strengths, not your weaknesses.

Will get it as my daughter is now in Oz, my excuse anyway!

VooDooZG, just a question regarding your nationality, I note some other players do have for instance, PL or HU at the end of their nicks relating to their country of origin, you have ZG, are you from the planet Zorg by any chance? But, the only means of proof and you refuse to show it? Ah, so you DO have this 'hack' then..........

You come here asking a question and you get politely answered. Then you go off on one (hissy fit) not understanding the fact that free XP is there to be used freely on any ship. The Missouri is a ship with history and proven gallantry, you though have proven yourself to be an ignorant [edited]

I have been solely taking out the Igor over the past couple of days and instead of helping BB's kill catapults, watching them ignore them 9 out of 10 I now go solo for damage and ship kills (256k/7 ships). Sometimes it results in a win, sometimes...........

From your ships I can only assume it is the Warspite that you have accrued that amount of ship XP. As answered above, good old Doubloons is the only way of converting it to free XP in order to use on any other ship. Captain XP will of course remain with the captain but could come in handy to use on another RN ship.

NA client updated and this spooky threesome appeared....... Blade Igor Jackal The background is the port.

Super Container

Apart from a minority (forum goers are a minority in the scheme of things) voicing their opinions on the Takao mission parameters, I believe the decision WG made must be based on higher tier population on the various servers hence the original tier 9/10 only choice. Lowering it to tier 8 for me was the right decision as (in my humble opinion) we should have missions for ships be available for equal tiers (example a mission for a tier 5 ship be able to be got played in a tier 5 ship), not for higher tiers. But then again, it was a good mission to reignite the top 2 tiers ship population on the server. WG do have it tough trying to balance fairness as well as offering a (relatively) difficult challenge, the old (adapted for use here) adage fits here, “You can please some of the players all of the time, you can please all of the players some of the time, but you can’t please all of the players all of the time”

With all the server issues over the past 2 days this is not surprising. I would bet it on returning soon so just sail off into the sunset with another ship until it arrives in port again.

I for one baulk at the cost of the (proposed) T10 special camo's and back Babykims stance on this, LilJumpa probably sums it up for me very well regarding costs and rewards though. The way I look at this game is cost per hour rather than irregular monetary outlays (premium time, ships etc), and for me it is cheaper to play than buying a AAA SP title that can be finished in a day. No matter the arguments, this is a free to play game as there are many that have not shed a single dime on this game, if you choose to buy something that is your prerogative.

You have to pay for ammo used in Training Rooms so going PvE is a better way of 'earning' whilst trying new things out. Of course the Training Room is ideal for scenarios and of course Clan battles.

The current reward system is fine. I never open any of my containers until I am done for the day, I am like an excited (read expectant) child opening presents and hoping for that elusive gift you want.....

People are strange* when you are a stranger and that is a fact, but a lot of WoWs players are plain lobotomised! Been in a division with 2 friends in this mode and still no matter our intentions the others just go YoLo, AWOL, AFK, IDFK** or doolally leading to a guaranteed loss (albeit with the odd camo and credits earned). Yet last night, doing one more attempt before the old man falls asleep, a mismatched team, a win! Nowt as strange as WoWs players that is for sure! * **I don't ferking know.
