Nice picture you draw there but you just could have said "having to go clothes shopping with the wive, holding her handbag".

Some players including myself criticized WG in the past for handing out too many boosters. We thought it will lead to new players ending up in the high tiers "too fast". Also it put the emphasis on rewards and away from actual gameplay. Naturally I welcome the reduction of handed out flag signals and camouflages.

Sounds like Fortnite could be a great game for you.

It is really not easy to win those games, especially as a newcomer. We really shouldn't make fun of him, he has a point. I played through a new account less than a year ago to see what it's like. I had to get Kraken, Confederate, and High Caliber in plenty of those battles to win - on tier 2. I think I finished a Chester game just short of 100k. Again, not easily done by newcomers. @EnacheV The bots are totally unreliable. Basically you need to get good enough to win battles independently from their performance. That takes some learning though. Maybe it makes things easier for you knowing that all bots are potentially crap.

The difference between us is that WoWs for me is a team game and that each team has an incentive to win. The game is designed this way and with hitting the battle button I agree to it. You seem to be more concerned with yourself and your personal gain. For me rewards are only the side dish and not the main course.

I wanted to add "it's up to you" in my first posting. Different people have different expectations of themselves.

Loosen the screw of how close ratings of players need to be and you might not lose variety. Anyway, this is all hypothetical for this game as WG doesn't want to go down that path. I just don't like it when SBMM is set equal to "I get only potatoes in the team".

I don't say that a game designing company shouldn't hire some smart people who can come up with a solution for this. BTW - Elo is a family name, not an abbreviation.

And just to counter this ill advised opinion: Skill based MM does not necessarily mean that each team in itself is averaged out. It does not mean that both teams have to have an average win rate of 50%. Are there any games doing that? It means that very good players should never encounter very bad players and vice versa. It means that the game will find 23 other people who are within your own skill region. How tight or loose this parameter is applied will effect the queue waiting times. Also win rate would become meaningless in such a system and would need to be succeeded by some form of Elo rating number.

Or you just play normally for a couple of battles instead of taking the douche-bag approach.

WG passed the era of micro transactions long time ago.

Der Satz war bestimmt anders gemeint...

Or they figured out that BB mains spend more money on the game on average compared to other player groups. Don't forget, we are all just milk cows to WG.

Because DDs require too much skill for BBob (or BB Kevin as we call them in German). I know you know this, I just post it for a general audience.

METTA is not even a word.

This IS the karma. Compliment = +1, report = -1. No other way to have karma changed.

Only if you take it serious. Otherwise it becomes an amusing source of entertainment. E.g. from time to time someone starts a thread on the forum about it and then you usually can have a good laugh at it and the follow-ups.

Installed it from Aslain - all working fine. Just to make sure: do you see no player panels at all? Then check the option in the settings.

If you look from your perspective you feel you were short changed. Others players might think: if I wanna have those good rewards, I have to play more cause you never know which period of time is important. A player like me just thinks: thank you for the fish.

There. You might have missed that.

Flak clouds will appear in the path you are taking. However, their shots are launched some time before the actual explosion. If you enter the zone and e.g. go full left for a bit, then change to full right the flak clouds will all appear to your far left. You can go slalom. If you get the timing right, the clouds appear harmlessly away from you. Also: You only take damage from them when they dissolve, not when they appear. Often you can fly straight through with boost.

I don't know how old your son is but if he has trouble dealing with this kind of situation he might not be mature enough (or developed enough or "ready", pick your word) to play this kind of computer game. Last what I heard is that this game attracts a rather old crowd, 35-40 years is thought to be the average. This is not a kids game.

If I understand @evcro correctly, he was in tier 2 when he met those "experienced" players. Maybe low-tier gets infested by experienced players the same way high tier got infested by noobs?

??? It is stated on WG site that the game will give you more missions with a higher reward if you participated more during the previous patches. Seems fair to me. If you play rather casually you don't get so much rewards but also don't have to play as much to get them. If you play a lot, the game presumes you will be able to play a lot for these missions as well. Much better then this RNG crap we had at other occasions.
