No, Enterprise at Warp 8

So, in summary: it is as bad as people expected or worse. I withheld judgement until I could see for myself, but boy, what a disappointment

Initial feedback subs after 2 coop games: boring

Got 300 free coal Played 2 coop games in DD: boring

Stoopid teammates are a given in half the matches. So I assess my team at game start and adjust my tactics accordingly. My survival rate was lower when I did not yet do that However, I will hunt enemy DDs as much as I can. And at least provide the service to my team of having red DDs accounted for on my flank. Whether they use that service wisely is up to them

Don't agree with your assessment of DDs. My main goal in DD is finding and destroying enemy DDs. Best games are if I kill dem all . Ofc that does not mean suiciding or equal trades but making sure you have as much unfair advantage as you can

I am worried, but will see for myself. I haven't played against subs yet, so I will let you know in a week's time.

No can do m8. If I have to play dead, the game is dead to me.

For now it may be. In 3-6 months subs will be in randoms and our choices are kill them all or uninstall.

Yes there will be.

It's not training as in getting better, it is training as in being conditioned into acceptance. Like lab rats, which seems to be the dominant way WG looks at its player base.

So, in my recent poll we have seen an overwhelming lack of trust in WG from the members of this forum. Ofc that is no scientific result, but 300 out of 350 responders voting 1 to 3 is pretty bad by any standard. A lot of gripes could be ameliorated and a lot of goodwill created by WG being just a bit more responsive to veteran player requests. It does not have to be a complete CV rework V2, but some small steps could go a long way. So why don't they do it? It can't be good for the company bottom line to have such a bad reputation. A few shows of positive actions could restore some goodwill, would not cost much and probably return some revenue from now disgruntled veteran players. @YabbaCoe and other WG employees,can you help us with some insight here? Why the total breakdown between WG and veterans on this forum? And forum members, which small steps would in your view do a lot of good? Please stay positive in your answers and try to stick to smaller changes that would be acceptable to WG and feasible to implement. I would suggest: - some smaller tweaks to CV mechanics to address the worst issue. The nerfing of rocket planes is a good example imo - restoration of 1 existing scenario that is inactive now What do you think?

At this point I also note there is no reaction from WG staff. An ominous sign imo.

I guess everyone will have losing streaks. As I find them frustrating, I do as follows to limit their impact. My current WR is 53% and rising. So my goal is to get to at least 55% every day I play. Which is practically speaking 1 more win than loss. So, when I notice I am not winning more than I lose, I adjust my ship selection and start playing ships I do well in and feel confident with. Such as Lightning or Fiji. Most days I can get my WR up like that. If I have enough wins, I can do some grinding. Still, some days suck and I can't even win in my best and most comfortable ship. Then I decide to either accept that and have a dip in my WR, or I play ops if there is a nice one. Or I quit and go do something else. It works for me that way. Take care and keep having fun with the game

Re: WR: you play a lot of IJN DDs. Perhaps try RN line more, they are more versatile?

Very old news.

Remember to all click 'very dissatisfied' on any survey after a game with subs

Brace, brace, brace!

Not really, but it created a lot of work.

Does that invalidate my point?

Don't want gamble: not target customer

So are y'all properly exited for the big day tomorrow? Hahah, Freudian mistake: excited, but yeah

You see, the WeeGee business plan works as intended

The difference in skill is now so big that if you have a few good players on one team, it quickly escalates into a landslide. The rest is simply statistics. With random matchmaking you will have a skewed skill distribution lots of times et voilà!

It does not have to prevent you from doing a bit of both. Primary focus on noob whales, but do a little effort to not totally pee off your loyal player base.
