Not sure what kind of parallel reality you live in. Most people who would go to a police station to file a complaint for... being insulted... would get politely escorted out the door. Perhaps you have an account and the benefits that go with the 'Gorgeous' service there?

Sounds like someone had a lovely time in Glasgow.

Like what? Stocks and rotten cabbage thrown at the infringers?

That's a dangerous bit of information there.

Perhaps you forgot to watch and learn?

Punishment for insults? Sure if you go into a pub and start throwing insults around.

Yes but hate speech and insults are very far apart in legal terms.

Part of the problem is people go coop for very different reasons. Either they believe it's a more time efficient way of grinding xp, giving more consistent returns for time spent as opposed to the randoms. Many use coop for particular missions. Then some may hope it's a kind of ersatz random battle mode, where you can have random battles but hopefully with better gameplay than what the randoms have. These expectations tend to be mutually exclusive.

Hope to see it back, the current setup's been extremely annoying.

I can only think of words like id and Idaho and I can't imagine those would warrant a chat ban.. I dunno, I can't figure this out maybe I'm just ....

Since this is WG we all know and.. love (?), dare I suggest we call instead call it GS as in genuine stupidity?

Makes you wonder where we'd be if WG hadn't been constantly doing these improvements.

Some elaboration is required.

Could it be that Coop AI is designed to mimic player behavior?

The best way was the old mission chains, haven't played that much lately to have any idea if it's the same with the battlepass or if they've made port slots harder to get for free.

That works for a while, but at some point you start bleeding credits because of this. Fine, if you never intend to play those ships, of course. Nonetheless, it's better in that case to unlock all modules and potential branches before selling the ship. I've bought some slots, mostly a long long time ago, especially at that 75 doubloon price which was available at one time only. Probably 2015/16 holiday season.

Well OP wanted port slots, he didn't mention anything about wanting ships too...

Port slots?

You must not be new here.

I'd really be interested to hear the answer too. Not that I think much of how they implemented the subs, nor do I want to see them anywhere in my randoms, but I was mildly interested in playing in them in the operations because that's where they sort of belong (even though the WG implementation is particularly lacklustre).

Not interested in random operations... or are you *gasp*... a sub player?

Uhm... yes. But in coop you got the same numbers. So, why do the bots need the advantage? Is it because they can't create 'competitive' AI or because they won't? I understand operations are different, because otherwise they would become entirely overwhelming if you had ships balanced but the bots would have a huge numerical advantage over the team.

A couple of days ago, I was in coop and 3 bot cruisers and 1 DD got stuck on the same island.

Yes, when it comes to MMORPG's, they also tend to use separate gear for PvP and PvE. Why though? If the reason is that the AI/bots in PvE are clearly weaker than the players in PvP, there has to be a reason why they make them so.

Well, mostly why the balancing for PvP and PvE is different. Logically speaking, it shouldn't IMO be so.
