I do like the smaller games as a variety so would play them for no reward. But oh god it's frustrating stuck at rank 22 unable to get two wins in a row.

Can't tell if sarcastic...

Chill. You need clan battles. As do we all. A way to chose your team mates. And they are in development.

Another easy mode premium maybe, but it was a good game. 100k damage in my tier V cruiser

I would be up for divisioning. I have to ask why you love the Hashidate so much though!

But even then doesn't XP increase with tier? Well mine certainly does. So wouldn't you still need to look at XP vs. average tier anyway.

The problem is I don't feel the MM is discriminating enough. But I can't see a way to fix it without making people queue forever. I'm rank 22 and stuck. I'm sure eventually I'll rank up to 20. That would be nice. Being deliberately team killed didn't help.

Not just premium. Base XP without the X1.5 or x3 we have this weekend. I generally play each ship till its first win. So my XP will be inflated.

It's good. But too many times my New Mexico has been abandoned by cruisers and the focussed by event cruisers. Cruiser players! We need your help!

Bad times! But I had some epic loss streaks. However then I won a lot so it will get better! My advice: division. It's more fun even when you lose! A problem shared... Play as well as you can for the team. You'll regularly start coming top loser - and XP can be well over 1k in a loss. And have faith you will win!

I was. Then someone in a dd shouted "Allahu Akbar" in chat then torpedoed me. Then the Fuso. Game over. Made a loss too as the compensation isn't enough WG!! Its a nice idea and if cruisers would stop running off we'd win more.

The ranked battles meta is fascinating. All classes have a roll to play and cruiser wolf packs are effective if a BB gets isolated. The best team play wins in this mode... Which is both rewarding and frustrating. You out get more chance to get first blood etc in 7v7 so that's good aswell. And you get rewards for getting to rank 20! My New Mexico is taking to them...

Just had two rather awesome games. First a ranked battle. New Mexico. 6000xp. 3 kills and a win to rank 22 (woo!) Then a quick money maker in Murmansk copying Aerroons style of play... It kinda works.

I saw one in my last game at his spawn point. Thing is people can just crash out

And ive come across none. I can't remember the last time I had an afk player.

There is a suggestion that team ranked is being looked at as a thing... So yes. Solo ranked is ok. I do not like the three cap version as much as the 2 cap though. Tiers of ship and balance are ok, with no class seemingly overly OP. Battleships seem to be overly popular but as ranked continues we will probably see different metas develop. It's very early on and I don't think people have realised the power of the cruiser wolf pack in 7v7 yet...

Actually it occurs that ranked battles were in fact new content for the release. I could have spun it much better

I'm still not sure it's worth getting your knickers in a twist over or predicting doom and gloom. I like playing the game. Ranked is new for this month. Apparently more shops are coming in October. That will keep me amused for quite a while. If they keep releasing content at that sort of rate (and you'd hope that with fewer bugs to fix they could spend more time adding new stuff) I'll be content. The release comms were rubbish, as is the website. The devs are up to lots of good stuff (see posts elsewhere) but there isn't anything like a "dev blog" updated each week to tease us and inform us. Game is good. Presentation and marketing I could do better. But I think some people are assuming a ridiculous amount from... Well nothing. And MM complaints are endless when the vast majority of games are pretty well matched. Anyway I'm off to actually play some ships.

This whole "release" thing is spurious. The game has been "released" in OBT. New content balancing and tweaking will go on for years (and that's good!). It's much better this way. I don't want the game to be "finished" and never developed. Saying its "not ready" for release is daft. It was released as soon as it was out of alpha in reality! Much fuss over a word. Can we just have a game which gets looked after?

The frustration is that "there will be no wipe" at the end of OBT has been said time and time again. In CBT it was made very clear there would be a wipe. Perhaps not saying their wouldn't be one in OBT clearly in game (rather than the forum) has led people to assume there would be one. In reality OBT was actually the release. This "release" is just a formality to allow it to be marketed etc. More tech trees and more content will come over time. This game has years of new content ahead of it. Thing is people are used to released games being "finished". That's not how things work anymore. They are always a work in progress... (Which makes the whole release thing daft anyway). Happy gaming!

But you said you will.

This is really good and positive. Just what I want! And it couldn't be translated and put on the news site because...? WG. You need a communications officer!!

Read your post. You are as bad as the people you're team killing. Your breaking the rules because you feel entitled to. You have no respect for the game.

It's the same in random when discussing win rate or how much they lose... Not just ranked
