Hello everyone, I noticed a bug related to the launch of Planes from Ships / CV's some time ago, I assumed it was already well know, but as it a disadvantage for CVs and not yet fixed, ill post this here ;) Issue: On the launch of planes from a CV, the mini map shows the exact location of the CV by displaying the Plane icon for < 0.5s on its position, even if no ships or other planes are nearby. In the replay attached you can see at 8:30-8:20 time remaining the plane icon flickering up once, giving the position of the CV away, giving me the advantage to directly go towards it to kill it. The screenshot (from the replay at 8:25 remaining) shows the situation where the Fighter squad, appears not only on the mini map on A7, but also in the 3D marker in the screen. I noticed the problem many times already, sometimes over distances of over 20km, you can easly take advantage of that problem, especially as a destroyer or enemy CV. Additional note: You can only see the plane icon when your radius of vision reaches far enough (Field of View), also the problem seems to appear randomly. Attached a screenshot showing the situation where the bug is happening. As the Topic does not allow me to attach replays (You aren't permitted to upload this kind of file): https://www.dropbox.com/s/bfbg7mnhy5sc0f2/bug_20151129_124555_PGSC105-Konigsberg_13_OC_new_dawn.wowsreplay?dl=0 Also attached the Python.log (shows no evidence to the problem) python.log

Hallo alle zusammen, Leider muss ich mitteilen das sich der Clan "TRS_ - Trolling Stones " http://eu.wargaming.net/clans/500066888/ von der League zurück zeihen wird. Aufgrund einer internen Spaltung haben wir nicht genug Spieler um weiter daran teilzunehmen. Einige von uns sind nicht mit der Situation von Tier 8 Matches einverstanden, weiter sind auch einige mit der aktuellen Situation des Wargaming Management in der EU nicht ganz glücklich. Trotzdem nochmal einen großen dank an die DeutschMarine für die Organisation der League, Ich hoffen wir werden uns in der Zukunft nochmal auf dem Schlachtfeld treffen. Wir treten heute nicht gegen die [KLM] Kaiserliche Marine an.

Hier ist mein versuch: Sollten 31p sein

I guess the reason of this tropic is done for (R.I.P) "...have zero social media presence, your concerns would never be passed on, off line events such as Firstlook in Utrecht, Denmark's Springeren Museum, Sweden's Arsenalen Tank Museum, Tankfest and Gamescom wouldn't happen. " Wait, What kind of management is WG using? They do not have a separate department in their company, for advertising/ public relations / Event Management and Forum Management? "I'm really sorry we can't offer you that level of presence on the forums you expect" Ectar in your opinion Community Management can only be done by being active in Forum Post? "when we're actually adding nothing to the topic" I can understand its hard to add anything productive, but it is literary your job to do so. Instead you are being picky about a Quote of mine, that was not even directed against you or anyone else. Were you not supposed to pick up the topic or say anything against or towards the Main Post? Instead you are guiding the topic more and more off topic. So the community management officially does nothing else than moderate and censor posts? Oh I forgot you also started the Event in these Museums right. A Communty Manager usually does this: Build relationships within the community Create value for members who participate in the community Be the liaison between the community and the company behind it all An acknowledgment of shared fate or purpose Moderating conversation and encouraging specific topics Running regular programming/content/events <--- (6-8 Events this year so far gj) Planning and developing strategies for increasing engagement and conversion Channeling input and response from community into other organizational processes What you are doing is usually Social media and not Community (translation mistake maybe? Social Media Manager and not Community Manager?) Even if your are somehow offended by this post it would be your job to let it be and bring in something productive, to bring the Thread back on track.

Why are you Quoting me if I never said that? I only agreed to Ectar that there are better games, such as Fallout. Anyway better not get to far offtopic.

Good, I was worried some people would over see the difference in season 1 and 2

"so now the person have a right only to play one game for whole life?" Every person has the right to play a game for his hole life, what are you even talking about? I never denied that. Its the same right you can use to quit a game as soon as you start it. I only said that games with a proper community are more enjoy able. So you got offended by that fact that better games are better games?

Exactly, it points out that there are, indeed, better games. Games where you can wait for, games where you have a good community for over 10 years. Games that are not this one. "We are also see amount of time spent on work with community by WG employees. " Its its free time, but I agree, the work done here is not.... (I better dont say more, some Mods like to ban for everything)

And I know that Tier 8+ matches are only about scoring 1-2 kills and then wait to win by points, thats why dds are good when they win the 1vs1 dd fight and block the caps. My avrg dmg on a DD in Tier 8 was about 50k, of course ranked and random stats are a diffrent topic. DDs and BB are the only important ships in ranked atm so... I dont see your point, why do I need to defend my opinion? Do not be so aggressive, did I stepped into your private zone or anything to offend you? (Sorry I forgot people on the Internet are getting offended by everything) 1) Comparing season 1 and season 2 mm is stupid, you should know that. Also Nephilimer reached rank 1 first not due luck in mm (of course it was involed as well), but due enough skill and time/effort, same with Kluszkov . Also Note that in WOWS you can not determine "The best player", as Victory and Defeat are determine by at least 20% randomization (dmg, citadells....). Maybe if the same players are playing 1vs1 over 1000 Battles it would be possible, if they have similar skill, but thats not the point anyway. As Kluszkov said, its impossible to say, that somebody is "the best" player based on their skill. "Even if now you don't see him as really good player?" Of Course Kluszkov and Nephelimer are good players, but they are not the point here, are they? If you want to make a topic about flaming a player do so in private. If you want to share, what you think about Ranked games, it mechanics and how it can be improved. Feel free to post a reply, otherwise just do not post it. If somebody thinks Ranked games are bad based on his opinion, let him. Why do you want to change his opinion anyway? Do you think somebody who spent more time with Wargaming than most People here, has no reason to his opinion? “You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.” - Winston S. Churchill "I was on Twitch watching Nephilimer play and basically he raged after losing a few (mediocre) games, blaming his team. Later on his post appeared saying what a joke ranked battles are. Draw your own conclusions." -- NR107 So you are saying that the current mm situation is perfectly fine and there is nothing to complain about? Example mm I had: Rank 4: Map: Ocean: Amagi (me) vs Tirpitz Kitakami vs Tirpizt Atago vs Atago Myoko (pink name Teamkiller) vs Atago Fubuki vs Atago Fubuki vs Fubuki Blyzkawiza vs Blyzkawiza Kitamami and our Fubuki got 1 shotted. If I am going into a ranked game, I am expecting fair and even matches, where you can compete against each other, and not games where 1 side is almost always at disadvantage. Especially when you are on the side with the disadvantage about 10 times in a row. " bit more competitive than randoms", "coupled with good rewards" -- NR107 They should call it then: "Random with better rewards" In my language "Ranked" means "a position in an organisation, showing the importance of the person having it" or better "judgment of a person according to their abilities", which does not fit. " Is this such a big deal? Ok, not the best thing to bring to random battle but it’s not a criminal offense to try and grind a ship whilst playing ranked." -- NR107 So ruining a hole teams effort is no big deal? The Team, if they are not able to carry that guy, has to spend at least 40min to reach the same rank again. " I like this failsafe… If someone is determined enough and has put in the time to get to top 10 then why should they be kicked back down the ranks just because they aren’t good enough" -- NR107 So somebody who got lucky once should be allowed to call him the best? Why not directly make all ranks irrevocable? The best would probably be to limit the ranks to 1 out of 1 so everybody can play how he wants and still get the rewards "Calling people morons and idiots is counter-productive, please take this elitist attitude elsewhere..." -- NR107 I do not see why should not be allowed to call somebody a moron, (To clear up the definition, maybe its unclear for you: "An idiot actually is stupid, while a moron is just thought of as stupid."). It can be your opinion that somebody is, indeed a moron, or did I missed a change in the language that "moron" counts as an offending swear word now? If WG is tiring to censor every comment, they should start by doing so in the in game chat.

I don't see how Kluszkov is a "really good player" he took 67 Matches and got only an avrg dmg of 40k dmg. This just proofes, that does not matter the skill of a player you can reach rank 1 first just by playing game after game (I know what I'm talking about). The speed to reach rank 1 will defined by luck of the mm. My my first day, with my first 20 Matches I had 17 Wins and only 3 losses avrg dmg of 67k. 2 Days later i continued playing, ended up with almost 12 losses in a row, every time with a bb disadvantage 3vs2 or 2vs1 or even a Teamkiller in my team. Even rounds where I dealt over 100k dmg and secured a cap that way got lost to unlucky mm with Teammates. That was the point where I decided to give up on ranked games And Nephilimer does not name himself the best player, hes referring to the statement of WG on the main page: "list of the best players" and "Congratulations to the best of the best! It’s worth noting, that Nephilimer was able to reach Rank One already by..." If the game company names you as the best player, you can call yourself the best player imo.29 September

As the second one to finish season 1, and the first one to reach rank 5 in season 2 (rank 4 now), I totally agree to point 1-4. The only thing that improved from last season is, less idiots in rank 5-1. As Nephilimer said, I will also consider to switch to RU or NA server, if I am going to continue at all. The hilarious responses and behavior of the Support Team, the bad player base, together with the current season are enough for me. As WG Staff Manager Ectar said: "I've been playing Fallout 4 loads myself (It's all I'm playing atm)" Qoute link: http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/37339-this-game-die-earlier-as-wowp/page__p__693609#entry693609 It's probably better to quit WOWS and continue with Fallout or any other, good games. - line moved from quote RogDodgeUK

I am just worried that such a system would put front line ships at a disadvantage while promoting long range snipers. Simple Example: bb1 leads the attack on a point, the enemy team focuses him, he is not taking much dmg as hes going in frontal, but at the same time bb1 can only fire his front guns. The rest of bb1 team uses the chance to focus fire (boradside) as the enemys are attacking bb1. bb1 damages some of their ships, and dies afterwards, his team, bb2 and ca1 managed to get 4 kills in that time. They secure the cap and win. In this senario, your system would not reward bb1 at all, as he did not dealt much dmg, nor did he capped a zone, but the movment / tatctic and sacrefice of bb1 lead the his team to victory. This is a common tactic in ranked games on close range engagments. As there is no way to determin the tactial use of a ship during a battle, I would be against such a system. On the other hand I would agree to give additional bonuses to MVP's.

Just saw this now, 35min left to fill it out

"In my opinion, the rank does not define fighting skill and high grades should not be associated with professionals." Google tranlate. I guess that sums it up, they don't need any feedback for the ranked games, they just want to know how balanced it is, they are taking stats over feedback anyway so.... Basically they are stating: We are just calling that game mode "Ranked" to give people a motivational goal, to keep on playing and putting money into the game. So I guess we can see ranked game as just a mode to fram Flags, xp and award ships, and not as a competition.

Didnt expected to see my name here ;) Other players on rank 1: APOLLZEUSODINO, Feld, MaciejoVietnam

@WehrmachtMirEssen #40 You must play a regular cruiser of Tier IV or higher (no premium ships)

My thoughs about ranked matches (reached rank 1 on 30. September, about 20h after Nephilimer did): Things that work great in rank 1-10: #Teamwork: At the time we got into the final group gameplay changed, from time to time we played over 10 matches in a row with the same people, we learned each others habbits, tactis, weaknesses and strenghts. It felt like a proper competion, once I won 3 matches in a row against Nephilimer, when he was missing 1 star to rank 1, and delayed his victory by 1 day, as the queue was empty afterwards (was to late in the night). #Matchmaking: MM wasnt its best in the beginning of the ranked, 1 round, I had a 7bb vs 6bb+1dd setup, its still play able, but I dont think it was intended to be like that. Also the mm decided the winner right from the start from time to time, as sometimes you get the guys that are like "go there or I [edited]teamkill you" (yes somebody said that, in the rank, he just stayed afk in the rounds to make his team lose, or teamkilled later on). Overall mm was more or less ok, more like acceptable. Also depending on the map, Light and Heavy crusiers felt miss placed, espeacilly once the 2bb limit got removed, they have no chance to go against a group of bb's properly. They have no chance to deal proper fire dmg or normal dmg, as the bbs are moving together. My thoughs about group 25-20: Its ok you can leave those ranks quickly behind you, so there is not much I can complain about. The "irrevoacable" stuff is maybe good for not "strong" players, so they dont feel that bad ^^. About group 20-10: In this group are alot of "special" people, they can make your life hard, but with abit skill you can get out of that group with a WR of 60-75% (I had 74% till rank 13, my WR dropper once I reached rank 1, was intended). Also in this group you will find the most afk / bot players, or they are just flaming or complaining. I met some people in this group: "I dont care about this game, I am just playing for fun" (not teamplaying, suiciding far off). Main problem: thanks to the free star system, those people got carried to the rank 10-11 and messed the game up for people on their way for rank 1, one of these people ruined my final star for rank 1 twice in a row, and extended my total battle count by 25. (I can provide replays if needed ^^) My thoughts about the ranking system: Its to much to call this ranking, the ranking it self has nothing to do with skill, maybe you can compare the stats on rank 1 but not more. The current ranking system is not more than a farming game of stars, you could, in theory even reach rank 1 with a WR of 49%, thanks to the free star every 2-5 games. That has in my oppinion nothing to do with ranking. I got all my ranked games saved as replays, if you are interesed. Ill add some more, and some suggestions, maybe later on. *All spelling mistakes were intended*
