Hi. I don't know you from Jack or Jill, and have never posted a reply on these forums, but I have an issue with you trying defend, in pretty unpleasant terms, WG EU actions in this regard. This should not be a complex issue. Treat everyone the same. How hard can it possibly be? Why does WG EU repeatedly shaft its EU player-base? And yet here you are, a super-tester no less, mocking someone for being upset over a lack of equitable treatment. Let me ask you this, if 99% of players won't know or care less, then why the hell don't WG EU just do what the other regions do? Surely it is more effort NOT to do so than it takes to constantly mess around with everything? And if there are good reasons, why have they not communicated them? Could they not see this coming? Are they truly so far up burying their heads so deep in the sand that they weren't aware that this would cause a storm? And are you really going to continue trying to defend them? I don't think the issue is that you have a different opinion. The issue is that you are trying to defend the indefensible, with an argument that basically boils down enforcing wilful ignorance upon oneself.

Yeah same here. UK based Plusnet ISP Micro stutters every few seconds. Latency at 32-35 shooting upto the 90's then back down corresponding to the stutters. Even the website is very slow to respond unless I access it through Zenmate via Germany. No other game or website is affected. WG need to own this and stop trying to fob UK based players off. If it was an ISP issue it would have been an extant issue prior to 0.5.3. It wasn't. It has only happened since that patch. Very very annoying.

Played my first dozen or so games following the latest patch, and I am extremely unimpressed with the effect that it has had. This patch has nerfed Light Cruisers far too hard. It especially hurts ships like the Cleveland, Konigsberg, Nurenberg. You lose reload speed, turret rotation time AND range, losing BFT, AFT and the 1.3 degrees rotation. It makes keeping your guns on target in the Cleveland at under 7-8km pretty difficult as the turrets no longer turn faster than your ship, so it's shoot or turn, not both, and when going head to head with CA's the reduced DPM is the difference between coming out with 20% HP or death. The reduced range is less of an issue, but makes a significant impact on certain maps (ocean notably) where you are now much more susceptible to BB fire. Moving Last Stand to Level 2. I always take this skill on DD's and more often than not on German and IJN Cruisers. Having your engines or steering knocked out is a death sentence so I always found it of more use than the other skills. Unfortunately, now I have to pick between Torp reload time vs Last Stand, or Turret Rotation vs Last Stand at Tier 2, while the T4 skills are pretty lackluster for both Cruisers and DD's. This is just a stinker of a move that really hurts mobility and survivabilty. Of all the classes, BB's got the biggest buffs from this patch yet again. While Cruisers are now worse (especially light cruisers), and DD's came away with some pluses and some minuses, BB's came away with controllable secondaries which at T7 upwards are now insane. My Cleveland strayed into range of the Nagato's secondaries and it was the equivalent of fighting a pre-patch Nagato and Light Cruiser...only more accurate! I could go on, about how the secondary buff skills benefit BB's way more than Cruisers, about how with no CV's playing anyway buffing AA is pointless, about how of all the classes that needed buffs or nerfs it should have been the opposite [edited]way around to what WG have released with this patch. But I won't. Needless to say I think this patch is a massive backwards step and is quite frankly a massive [edited]-up. I don't know how other people are feeling about it so far, but as a paying customer, who has invested plenty into this game, I'm feeling pretty negative toward it right now.
