    Divisions in ranked battles

    Divisions can either be too good or too bad. If you have a good division on your team it makes winning easier, but a bad division will drag you down. So no thanks. Besides, WG already said that divisions are not something they even consider for ranked. Ranked sprint on the other hand allows divisions. Also, if all you want to do is play together, play randoms, coop or OPs.
  2. That’s why it is important to emphasize the ‘Legends’ bit in Naval Legends. The truth in this line outweighs both the paper and the steel used in Russian combat ship building!

    So they have finally done it

    The devs are/ were BB mains who got wrecked by pesky DDs once too often, so they decided to make DD players life as miserable as possible. While i agree that DDs can still be effective as long the enemy CV doesn’t start a personal vendetta against you and your DD, they are no longer fun to play.

    PSA: Shikishima for 32.000 Steel

    32k Steel? 3.2k steel would be ok-ish i guess, but 32k?
  5. Completed the final directive, opened all the crates and apart from two crates (15 and 25) all contained only 5 Tokens. Did i mention how much i loathe this stupid idiotic RNG mechanic in these crates? At least i can switch to AC Odyssey now that i'm done with the "We didn't have a real Navy, so 80 years later we feel the need to compensate by introducing fantasy designs into the game" event.

    Ranked: proposed rework

    Set aside that OPs suggestion is bad, WG itself won’t change anything as they are happy with ranked. Bad players waste tons of Signals and of course have to buy them, respecc commanders and buy the meta ships , either from the prem shop or via xp conversion. Check some of the Sinop players in ranked, or some of the premium ship players. They have literally no games played in those ships in the random game mode. They get them for ranked, buy them and suck in them them. So, when WG is looking at their revenue spread sheet, they do not see any reason to change a single bit!

    Game lacks anti-snowball mechanics.

    Yeah, that’s the dumbest thing possible. You don’t have to be out of position to get focused. If you paint a big target on someone by making him an xp piñata, all you achieve is that the enemy team will yolo that guy down and die even faster. Besides, non of your suggestions would do anything to fix landslide games. Educating the playerbase might help in some cases, but you have to accept the fact that WG failed to educate players from the get go and had no interest whatsoever in fixing the situation now.

    What's Next

    My guess is, that WG looks at their spread sheet and realizes that all non-russian ships are overperforming compared to their russian counterparts. For instance, the Gneisenau has a WR of 48%, while the Sinop has 50%, which clearly indicates that the Gneisenau is ridiculously overperforming. Since a buff of all ru ships would be considered russian bias, WG will decide to nerf all non-ru ships across the board by 25% instead. After this global rebalance, WG will introduce the ru BB line split, ru CVs, the ru CV line split, the ru uboat tech tree, the ru uboat tech tree split, ru e-boats, rafts, canoes, puddle jumpers, killer dolphins and sharks with lazers and of course the respective tech tree split. Not to mention, at least 6 premiums for each line. Lots of new content ahead! Get ready, strap yourself in and prepare your wallets. Cause when it comes to naval legends, WG doesn’t screw around.

    ST 0.9.5, balance changes to German Battleship Odin

    Are you sure you nerfing the right ship? Cause i'm pretty sure these nerfs should be applied to ALL of your fantasy navy (aka Russian) ships. Assuming you - WG - really intended to nerf the Odin, then i have shake my head in disbelief. It'd also make this whole explanation nothing more then a big steamy pile of bull. I suggest you take that spreadsheet of yours, and flip it once. The numbers will make much more sense. Maybe then your balans dept. will finally be able to balance ships properly. Now, what Odin has to offer? Well, nothing anymore. No point in grinding her, let alone spending a single Dubloon.
  10. No surprise there, it's a german ship after all. The argument it would power creep other TVIII Bbs is mindbogglingly dumb that i can't find insults to describe how dumb it is. #JustWGThings
  11. So, yesterday i unlocked access to the Armory on my Alt-account. When i open the armory now, it fades to black and stays dark. The only visible UI part in the armory is the information button in the bottom right corner, everything else is black. Apparantly, i can stil click on various buttons in there, cause when i press escape, the screen changed to whatever i was able to click and before it fades back to the port the armory UI becomes visible for a second. Anyone got an idea what causes this? It does NOT affect my main account, not does it affect my NA account. It's only the Alt account here on EU. @MrConway@Crysantos pls HALP! EDIT: I did try logging out and back in multiple times. All other areas (missions, prem shop, whatever) works fine! EDIT2: I can log into the armoyr via web browser, however the first screen i see is the Sub tab (but no Token!). That's odd cause when i enter the armory via browser for my other accounts i see the "starting" page. It seems as if the screen is "stuck" on my alt-account. Logging in and out has no effect whatsoever.

    WG finally listened; not powecreeping with Petropavlosk

    Why is this a surprise? It's WG we're talking about and this fantasy PoS design is russian, so it was pretty much expected. #NavalLegendsThatExistOnlyInLegends

    Alternative to WoW?

    AC Odyssey’s Naval combat is actually quite good. Shares a lot of similarities with WoWS too, angling mitigates damage, HE spam is very effective, same ramming mechanic, there will be at least three other ships hanging up on you and the camos have been designed by the same guys. It has the advantage tho, that there are no torps (yet), no CVs, no pure ocean map and no subs. Also, you can explore the islands and board enemy ships if you want to hit them with your sword. I guess, this gives us a glimpse of what the Greek navy will be like in WoWS.

    Pink Colour for Nautical Rules of the Road

    No need for nautical rules. Just leave the zoom view now and then and look around.

    I like Mikoyan

    It's a TVI ship at TV with AP that wrecks ANYTHING. If it were tanky, it'd be OP as frak.

    CV every game

    I could say something about CVs, but i‘ve accumulated so many warning points because of this, and I don’t feel like getting perms-banned from the forums.

    Armory issue - black screen

    Bump. Still having the issue. @MrConway @Crysantos pls halp!

    What Were Your Greatest Gaming Achievements Today ?

    Buying and playing AC - Odyssey instead of torturing myself in WoWS with ... speshul... Team mates.

    WoWS Warhammer Collab

    Bought the flags presale thingy for both my main and alt account. Me likes them flags. Now, knowing my luck with lootboxes, I had no hopes of getting one of these ships so my interest of actually buying was nil. However, seeing them in action on stream convinced me otherwise. I‘m not talking the ships performance, it’s just an Amagi with crap reload after all. No, i‘m Talking the voice overs. Especially the red one is going to be an insta-buy, IF the price is in line with other TVIII premiums AND if I can buy it bundle-free. Getting the message „more skulls for the skull throne“ is awesome! Not to mention the other great lines... Should WG however go the greedy route, and let’s face it, they probably are, and put overpriced bundles of these ships in the store without standalone ships, i‘ll give this a pass, the finger and some swearwords, and pre-order the ultra-Mega-hyper-giga-whatsitcalled edition of AC -Valhalla for a trillion euros instead.
  20. Dear Non-U-Boat players! If you see THREE enemy DDs rushing your Subs in YOUR SPAWN while you sit 5km(!) away from them(!) in your Dallas, Budjonny and London, SHOOT THEM *EDIT*

    German Carriers

    Remove CVs entirely so no need to find names for them. It also saves time as there is no need to balance them when they get removed. Win win.

    Bots and transparency.... or honesty

    Wait, someone played completely without sense and logic? Can’t per definition be a bot. Bots follow a pre-programmed pattern which is logical. And what OP describes reflects how 90% of the playerbase plays this game.

    ST 0.9.5, changes to test ships

    Yep. Here we go again. The balans train has left Village du Incompentancé and is heading straight for town.

    Ranked and How to improve it !

    I‘d prefer a qualification system where each player has to qualify himself in each class he want to participate with. If he fails in BBs for instance, he’s not allowed to play them in ranked. Damage should not be a key factor in these qualifications, but class dependent factors, I.e. tanking for BBs. Based on the qualification results, players get divided into leagues, potato league, average and advanced with rewards accordingly scaled. This way, a potato can grind his way to rank 1, with lesser rewards and not ruin other players games. Would require a little change to the ranks, so Rank 1 in the potato league becomes Rank 1, league 3 with other ranks being R1 L2 and R1 L1. But WG won’t do that, as they are happy with ranked as it is. Potato’s need hundreds of games of failing hard to get to the higher ranks and of course they gonna buy signals and ships (or convert FXP to get higher tier ones). It is a source of income for WG, so we never ever gonna see a change.
  25. It’s an amazing looking map! I love it!
