  1. And I usually dont get above 10 fires in a freaking Zao ........ but yeah, cruiser and HE so OP, plz nerf. I actually discovered what I call "the potato buff to cruisers": (Non-RN) BBs are now firing HE again ....... (not all of them ofc) ...... which naturally has a lot of advantages: You can spot the noobs and the "dangerous" players immediately. Also MM will the idiots watching porn on their second screen not give the random citadels they are so used too (well if they arent playing a RN BB ofc - those are almost potato proof). Speaking of watching porn: because playing a BB is like ....... "haaaaaaaaaaard" in a (naturally ) T 7 game. Damn, if I would actually know how to play BBs (take a look at how many games this year) and aim again, I probably could take of both hands from mouse and keyboards and still citadel shitty cruisers.
  2. Bigger question is why Aboo is not. Anyway ...... from today. I simply had to check my gut-feeling against hard facts ...... 50 % WR, seems legit. Naturally that 90 k Zao game was the easiest of them all. Naturally cruiser have absolutely no carry potential and play a minimal role at best in terms whether you win or not .......... well at least Hindenburg seems to be alright. Its a huge huge upgrade over that god awful Ruin.

    Hopefully being able to actually play today ........ I have so far missed out on everything. Also I haven watched this weeks episode (yet ), but I can say I am already looking forward to it: anyway, for the mosts parts it has been: ..... would have needed at least another day off. But hey, there is always icecream I suppose:
  4. A journey that began in the early 80s, took off in the late 90s, arrived mid of the first decade of the new millennia came today to an end. Roughly 2 p.m. MESZ we got the very last signal after roughly 1,5 hours earlier the probe broke apart and its debris fell deeper into Saturns atmosphere and was shining its last light. Just as a true Division player, Cassini worked for the green teams effort to the very end: Doing all the importing spotting, fighting to keep its main turret pointed in the right direction for the very last salvo; before ultimately ramming itself on purpose into that noob that is camping roughly around 8 to 11 AU away from the (blue-)mainbase! Lets give our last salute to a project that spanned over several decades, a probe that worked for2 decades after being launched (something that cant be said about this game after 2 years ) and the effort of everyone involved on earth. And if thats to much text for ya ......... €: @T0byJug Philiae, Rosetta, Huygens, etc ......... and even Schiaparelli ( ) did the grounding before it was cool! Cassini is just a copycat. (Also Schiaparelli had bigger explosions! )

    Manual drop done on a capital class ......

    How I imagine things under Scrub-influence there. (posted this in our thread, dunno if you saw it, but now it fits even better ) Most definitely there are worse occupations. Usually I really [edited] only at lost chances which you have no clue when or if at all there going to be a next one ...... like Phobus Grunt. An ambitions project lost and the next Mars Moon exploration is when? Its not even on ANY map yet; and well, of all the people around I probably dont have to tell you how long it takes for a project from the conceptual phase to actually being there and gathering data. I have been on the edge on the Rosetta fly by ..... on the wakeup again. Same with New Horizon for example. And even looking at historical missions: Remember when Venera evaluated the composition of its camera lens cap/cover rather then the surface of Venus. .... I bet recordings of the ensuing "Suka" and "Blyat" would be probably scientiffically valuable to linguists.

    Original CDs are lost in time and space, but I do still have a original of the GotY-edition (remember the mutators? ) ....... somewhere. I havent used them since I moved to my new place ........ tough I remember UT ran on my old dualcore pc on windows 7 ......... or was that xp even (dual boot, I dont remember)? Hell I listen from time to time to the old main theme - its pure audio porn for me. I do have friends that are not ........... very much into videogames ...... and all I have to do is start with "In 2291, in an attempt to ........." - and they will finish with every word correct and even the right emphasis. Also I sucked hard in UT 99 - I mostly enjoyed it in bot matches. ........... ah "CTF-Facing Worlds" ......... endless headshots. ^^ ........... and ofc the "Redeemer". To sum it up: Anyway couldn't really play even though they were handing out nice stuff, to give you an idea what kept me busy so far this weekend: ...... and I was laughing like a mad man when this actually won as the song voted into the play list of this concert.

    I reckon it sprang over from AOs PC ....... that what you get when you dont wash your hands! (Oh god after the recent turn of events, plz let it only be "hands" ) How about a Pony drenched wet dropping soap in a bathroom? We hadnt that one yet, now did we? Quite cute, isnt it? Also for fellow Scrubs that might be interested in the final Cassini drop of today : (facts and dankness - what could you possibly ask more for? ) also previous posts compell me to post this: (Still even tough its short, already way better than that abysmally bad Street Fighter Movie)

    Manual drop done on a capital class ......

    Not yet discovered, comrade! Why else would huge sums be released to fund future missions. Take Juice for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JUICE_(spacecraft) Hard to believe it actually started nearly exactly 60 years ago (aka "4. OKTRBPR" which should appease even WG) with a simple apparatus: This is also what started "the grounding"-fad way ahead before it was considered en vogue as it as now by all the "cool kid"-probes. ^^ Well theres always a next mission, and I hope the best for the S.E.T.A-Program (Search for Extratequestrial Anons) ....... although success of such a program would bring "other dangers". Enough silliness (for now), I might close with some actual facts that some might find interesting: One of the "interesting Moons" is Iapetus or the "Walnut Moon" ..... for obvious reasons: Its bulge-like elevation that forms an equatorial ridge and travels around the moon and gives it a distinctive wallnut-like appearance. It also gives the phrase "Join the Dark Side" a new meaning, as its hemispheres are made up of a brighter and way darker one - to give you a idea: ........ and if you still not convinced to join the Dark Side: and if havent had enough of Star Wars just yet, you are in luck! How about the Death Star? Yep, thats Mimas another Moon ......pardon.... Space Station of Saturn. €: One last edit done ........... I might have to be careful now, I reached critical levels of dank meme-ing here.

    Obligatory MM/BB overpopulation complaint

    and while we are at it, lets add a massage to the insatiable buff craving BBabies in general and on this forum in particular - which still cry about anything even remotely scratching their paint: http://z0r.de/215

    [SCRUB] The Scrubs - Recruitment thingy

    Harvesting enough tears for that will probably take a while. Anyway, I actually pulled that one out for the achievement thread, but I thought my fellow Scrubs would enjoy the dankness in it as well. Basically Scub-Division-Gameplay in a nutshell ..........
  11. Just play with me, I get Sky Cancer way to often ....... (includes free bitching about that) Anyway I deeply appreciated the Algerie too - good manoeuvrability (that means the whole package and the tactics to employ and not just rudder shift and turning circle). Its like a ...... different Pensa: Armor that doesnt completely getting loled by even DDs, but not as good offensively. HE is delivered through the mail, and AP while very potent pen has only good but not those god given angles. Martel should then be (apart from the trash-chute that is the funnel) be a very good ship. More guns, faster firing ....... whats not to like about that? The Algerie already has more fire-power than the Hipper ...... slightly less than the Roon so this ship will feel like T 9 already. Speaking about the Ruin: I was able to sell that god forsaking POS! Unleash the Party Cannon! Thankfully I dont hate the Hindenburg nearly as much. I can play it like the Shores (pun intended) and its (maybe/hopefully - time will tell) a decent light cruiser - with shitty AP ofc. Fun fact: Was very tired and frustrated yesterday (probably shouldnt have played that tired anyway) and tried to figure out the built I wanted to play. So I played 1 game, 100 k damage - 2 mill potential - lost naturally (team), and then the above one today ........... without the concealment module and yesterday with a retraining captain even on top. Second game I played today - I even complimented our CV ....... a rare occurrence but I do compliment a CV that is not Sky Cancer which MM decided to throw on my side. Anyway about that game: Extreme tryhard division spotted! Kaga and Atlante would be fine in my eyes ..... but Flint on top? Really? Its basically WG endorsed cheating so naturally ........ - mode engaged! We had one of those idiotic teams that went a+b on Neighbours ....... so naturally all sat in A. Thankfully our Division and the reinforcement by the Viking Clan (the CV that got the compliment) made the difference. Not a huge results, but a huge carry from the division (+ the honorary 4th member): Ofc this shitty game isnt complete without this: Naturally 2 citadels - after basically 700 potential damage with most of the hp intact. Honestly what else do you expect? WG and their god forsaking BBias ...... Anyway we were able to halt them _outside_ B so the A-campers were both save and gained momentum as the enemy lost more and more ships ......... and they just couldnt loose anymore. Re-Enactment (and unholy dankness!): (@aboomination -> Yo dawg, I heard you like dank?! )

    And while you at it form the new sister clan "Scrubettes" and put him in there. (actually I DO think thats a great name for the next expansion series IF necessary ) anyway, from Yesterday: Any idea what that crappy forum software is talking about? Clearly no such things going here but only very import clan-stuff.

    Tbh I kinda refuse to use Discord too. TS is working just fine, needs very little attention, is simple as f and best of all: I dont have to download, register, set up stuff just to be exactly where I am right now. Needs much more peer pressure right now to get me to switch (and good luck with that, I am still using a phone that can ONLY deal with calls and SMS, even tough I could have had a lot of free smartphones by now). Since I actually hat some chocolate(-ice rather, but hey who cares) just now: Also ....... Wolfs pillows are .......... surprisingly tame. At work I decided to better not klick those links.
  14. havaduck

    Amazing MM: 0-12, yes, it exists!

    What about her big sister? The cute clearly runs in the family Also this is on topic too, ( ) as it conveys perfectly how your mood changes when trying your best, but only getting hit by that "rolled up newspaper" of the potato-team-lottery over and over again. (at least mine ; I am sure everyone I played with on TS can vouch for that ). Seriously the things you see playing this game ........

    [SCRUB] The Scrubs - Recruitment thingy

    @Reaper_JackGBR Nice montage. I liked it. @Wolf ... well I lost it at "Bin Laden" - that pained look of the second girl combined with the incoherent bitching immediately afterwards got me. Anyway, since a few souls here will actually get this now:
  16. After starting the day like this ...... (seriously wtf. This was over before even half of the mission was done .... understanding the reward system, I did more than the rest combined) ...... and getting reminded why doing ops without a division is a complete and utter waste of time, later ofc I did enjoy said divisioning. Its truly amazing what one or two other guys can make for a difference! Sure you wont be able to 5 star everything (because the [edited] are still not able to follow simple orders like "go into the exit circle" in a fast ship like Dunkerque even tough such a hint shouldnt even be necessary since the objectives are clearly stated in the left upper corner and you cant because you are tanking the whole final north spawn ...... and your ship does like 21 knts. (that 191 k damage game is actually a 3 starer because of said Dunkerque ) and then ofc this one: "Forgive me father, for I have sinned ...." ....... I went to D-cap on north. After 10 minutes (roughly I think) and after putting some shots into a DD + cruiser but still ......... I feel the need to uninstall now as retribution for my sins. Also met Eclaire again today (and somebody else from WGP2L: At least the MM wasnt "rigged" to much otherwise , although I was VERY concerned when seeing those 2 Neptunes .......

    [SCRUB] The Scrubs - Recruitment thingy

    Yeah well, I suppose its another sort of endurance test: Only if you can stand the test of waifu- pony- and meme-spam, only then you are truly worthy and ready for the strains of being a true Scrub/Scrubette (or one of the sister clan variants). Anyway to appease the great wrath of one of our "evil Overlords™": Scrubs were able to help rebalance Eclaire from TTT and somebody else from WGP2L ...... ....... - even while carrying my lowly áss around in a shitty cruiser. ^^ Anyway on the recruitment situation: (in case you missed it previously ) Damn, sorry I actually just discovered this when thinking about the current page. Well at least I got something to watch when my food is ready. But we do rarely have problems with the bumping the thread back up, don we? - and ours are way more ........ "interesting" than just a sole bump.

    It was back then when it was still the old info from ru thread. That time it was not only about DDs getting to much damage (in the sense of reg pen), but rather about the multiple pen problem (ie cit + reg pen + overpen on cruiser; or stuff like 2 reg pens from 1 shells on DDs), that naturally, affected cruisers and DD the most. There in the translation they admitted they were aware of the issue and working on a solution/new damage model. Naturally nothing has come out of the blot of hot air because we are still in the second decade of this millennia. Sadly I admit that I dont have the source ready and to be also honest: I would search for it but I have no clue how to narrow it down without getting hundreds of results; and the important part could be anywhere in that huge post containing multiple points and could be phrased "interestingly" on top: I remember GUN-shells being translated in a sense of CLAM-shell ....... at least sorta stuff like that (wasnt turret = tower?). I clearly remember the talk about a new/improved damage model; but then again I remember that WG said they wouldnt sell premium carriers until the whole mess there is fixed. It might be because I dont suffer from a stroke, and thus I can click faster than once every 10 seconds and do expect the shitty UI to process my commands accordingly, therefore: No nothing is fixed in that regard (not even scratching on the general balancing issues). Then again we (thats WG and me) use different languages. Sadly I dont speak noncredible búllshit fluently so when they said they would "do something about BB overpopulation" I thought of something different than nerfing everything else, BB oriented mission en mass, giving out free high tier BB to idiots parasites and bots, more and more op p2w premium BB with some gimmick that makes the retardedly op - like radar def fire or torps, buffing BBs constantly, creating a idiot proof BB line (for the second time even) + idiot proofing the other lines and last but not least bullshitting people when talking about high tier BB overpopulation with numbers that include T1 - a tier we know to contain only cruisers (ofc T2 which is the same for cruiser and DDs + the occasional rare Mikasa), now doesnt it - and are on top completely irrelevant because no one was even close to talking about anything that even included low tiers. I also remember that 1 drop in Gun calibre was the excuse to make Scharnhost premium, because people "couldnt or woulndt want" to cope with the change in gamestyle. This was ofc pure bullshít as well because right now the russian cruiser line does have way more drops (an ontop a captain al the way up is useless when switching from Donskoy to Moskva) and up on the guncalibre, the RN BB LIne also does have that drop at T7 and now they are even advertising the complete change of gameplay from RN T3-6 Armor Dreadnoughts to T7-10 actually working cruiser that ofc completely screw any and all existing cruisers in comparsion because the have better concealment, better guns than the T10 cruiserss on their T4 BB, working armor, heal, etc ...... To sum it up: When it comes to WG, I use my lucky mug and dont give a ratstail about what they are trying to búllshit people now with.

    2 Things here: They did that over a year ago. Now they are working on it "with high priority". So basically bullshitting people from doing something and then moving to bullshitting people they are actually working on it (we cant get proof about this, now can we?) took over a year. And they did throw those screens n stuff at WG for years. If WG wanted to see and notice that something is wrong, they could have dont that even before the game went into obt or at least release. Also until they saw?! Just play ....... lets be generous ...... 10 games of co-op and you can see how deeply broken things are. Getting proof as a dev - unlike as a user, who only has the mere tools in the shape of results screens, screenshots and the replay - is easy. So the phrase "until they saw" means we gotta make sure the the appropriate security measures are taken: Lets start by planting these signs all over the game: It would really help if those Noobs would play their damn game once in a while. Are you surprised? The same noobs took 3 years to lower Pensacolas concealment. Recently they dragged their as'ses to work to fix the bug with defensive fire not panicking planes; but only because BOTH a p2w-ship and a BB was concerned (Hood) - who cares about shitty cruisers anyway.

    Yeah well ...... guilty as charged. Who needs sleep anyway when there is coffee? It had to be done ........... and tbf I actually got one more about the lucky winners unboxing: ..........ok, now I am done. (or am I? ) €: An on that sudden outbreak of that Discord-Plague: "So take your Tyranny away!" - aka gtfo with this crap. ;)

    Was kind of interested in PA DDs

    Dont you threat, these torps will at least make it even more difficult for the remaining 2 or 3 idiots per game that still play cruisers! Those have no chance of avoiding and die to 2 or 3 ..... shells, torpedoes ....... It doesnt matter really. Anti-cruiser torps, clearly what this games really needs!

    Sideknot bathing ..... suit? Well thats a new thing. Oh god I love this so much, it cant be described! Believe it or not, I got 0 % of the game modded into Pony, but holy hell this would be instantly established as Battleflag on all of my ships! Speaking of which: Fell fast asleep yesterday ...... until my phone-alarm clock (forgot/hadnt had the chance to turn it off really) rang in the morning ..... shut it off -> More sleep. At least on Thursday I got reminded why I havent uninstalled the game yet when Wolf and Live shanghaied me a few games. Had some real fun*1, even though its probably hard to tell with all the bitching that comes naturally when playing the game. I even got stuck later in TS which is partly the reason I was then so tired after work on Friday. (*1 Not only about winning, but I felt like the division made a huge difference in 2 of those games .......... unlike just waiting 5-10 minutes see who has won the shitteamlottery). It that penguin stuff still running strong? I remember seeing all kinds of shenanigans years ago. On the clans: Lets see what WGs plans fevery nightmares transfer into. If something comes along for our competitive players that also want to play competitive, a lot of shifting around will be required anyway. I certainly lack both the skill and ships/captains, so I will make room for those that do. Anyway aside from just enhanced space, there was also talk about linked clans ........ so lets see how (bad) that turns out. Well maybe even all the branches of snubs can contribute resources and then share some of its benefits. Would be desperately needed as that sock wearing dress-code enforced by AO isnt cheap, you know? (ah screw it, well just make AO pay for it as usual )
  24. Bots are often tougher opponents than humans. Sure getting a 90is %-WR isnt hard, but lets try the other way around and try to consistently get results like this in co-op.You, a, need a shitteam, and b, be good enough to outplay multiple bots at once. @aboomination Long time no see! Welcome back in the boiling potato soup that is this game. Got to play 4 games on thursday in ... dunno 3 weeks. Best part of the first game was imho this: (...... as well as feeling of making an actual difference instead of just winning or loosing the shitteam lottery). See that one torpedo hit and its plume of water? It wasnt much, only 200 hp but ....... or a non pony version: *scnr* - laughter in TS was real. ;) btw: HE so op, plz nerf. 4 hole fires set? NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURF! Lost the next game because Sky Cancer - they had a T 7 CV in a mainly T 5 match - we didnt get a CV and it was running AS'S-Setup on top. Cleveland tried to protect us (pretty much the only ship with AA on our side), but Sky Cancer used sekret hacks of just keeping back for a few seconds, still lighting the Clev. up to be shot at and just waitied till it got deleted. Damn that CV got "hard countered" by a the AA-Cruiser. Staying on the topic of Sky Cancer, we managed to contribute to the team effort and eek a win out of a seemingly lost game again: Still the important part is that I popped my defensive fire on 2 strikes ........ and I shot down 4 planes. I know my AA was intact because I only got really hit once - by two sole shells going through the heavily angled belt armor via underwater hit - naturally - by that Nagato, who cant aim or play for shít but naturally WG BB-bias and dispersion doing the job for him. I know he got at least another shitty citadel on Live which he also didnt deserve in the least. #balancedboats So BB players need to be able to watch porn on their second screen and still get good results, while 2_!_ same tier cruiser cant shoot down more than 10 % of the hangar capacity of a same tier CV DURING the length of a whole game WITH defensive fire of a same tier CV that does 2 strikes on them PLUS the occasional fighter battles overhead when locked down by the friendly CV?! (Needless to say I needed premium defensive fire, and even then the CV was back again for more before the cool down had finished #balanced #cruisersmatter-asxppinatas ) Extra points for a lower tier BB getting more plane kills than 2 cruisers WITH defensive fire: Wait WG scumbaggery is not finished yet: We need this guy to "help Lesta improving their game".
  25. @Deckeru_Maiku and @WolfGewehr : I remember that game. Wolf got a shitton of xp and carried hard. Best part was still imho this: See that one torpedo hit and its plume of water? It wasnt much, only 200 hp but ....... or a non pony version: *scnr* - laughter in TS was real. ;)
