It doesn't? 1. Flag has to be uploaded. 2. Flag has to be approved by Wargaming. This includes... Check for appropriate content Check for potential copyright issues 3. Flag has to be integrated into the client. 4. Flag has to be awarded to clan members. 5. Flag needs to be removed from non-clan members. And as far as I am aware, there is currently no way to remove a flag from an account once it is awarded. So that functionality has to be programmed into the client as well. That's a lot of effort for a little graphical gimmick, that is barely noticable during combat.

Statistics I have had far longer streaks of losses and far longer streaks of winnings. It just happens from time to time. It is not a conspiracy against anyone.

If true, I'm afraid of those matches where there are tier 5 and 6 carriers in both teams. When one carrier can't manual attack and the other can strafe and manual drop at will, those tier 5 CVs will just be punching bags for, or used as bait by, the higher tier carriers. I doubt that this will be a very enjoyable playing environment and only drive more players completly away from CV play. Not to mention that it reduces low tier carrier play to boring point and click, as all influence you formerly had, if you knew how, is now completly removed. Who wants to sit and watch 60+ battles until he finally gets some real control over his units?

I prefer to play 4 to 7 but I'm doing fine at all of them.

But smoke at tiers 2-4 and 8-10is ok? Weird logic by the OP, in that it is a problem exclusivly on those levels he mentioned. Smoke can be dealt with in various ways. Cowering in fear when it pops up is not one of them. Neither is asking for its removal.

Nothing much to add. Except that there was a player on my team who tried to taunt the enemy, that they should better disconnect, so we would win against them even faster. I'll not tell you how much lower he scored then I did. Must be nice to decorate yourself with the achievements of others.

I did play with my Nagato and a reserve 10 point captain I had lying around (her previous captain moved up to Amagi). I've put RPF on her as the level 4 skill and there were several occasions where a lone last opposing DD lost all options to maybe still win the game because of this. Most other times I forgot I even had the skill. During the early brawl or stand off shooting it didn't help much.

Did you expect them to change something after collecting and forwarding our feedback? So far this never changed anything unless the whole server was in uproar. This whole collection of feedback must make for some nice confetti once it is printed and send through the shredder.

Welcome to the menace. I hope you know what you've gotten yourself into.

A bit premature to give up, isn't it? They can't release all ship lines at once. The fans of some nations will naturally have to wait longer then others. We have some very die-hard fans of the italian navy on this server but other nations have those as well. The world doesn't end if you don't get your prefered ships first. One day we will have italian vessels in their respective tech trees as well.

No such issues here. Are you running with mods? Might also be better posted in the current update forum as a bug report.

He can mod the game client. There are a few for ARP ship skins in the mod section of the forum and the voice files are in his client already.

Infos about the rework will be available once Wargaming tells us about them. Some few infos can be gathered from the "Something interesting from RU" thread. As far as the windows key goes, there are keyboards that offer that functionality. It might cost something but you wouldn't need to wait till Wargaming might implement it. Which could be soon or never.

Looks like no one except the OP likes those changes.

Of course it is. They are spoiling us. But I can't exactly complain this weekend, as I'm away for real life activities.

Essentially, yes I want them to give away more stuff to everyone. Not for free though. It needs to be earned. I just want them to balance rewards more properly instead of focusing themself on some very few high profile events. They have a full server with hundreds of thousends of players. They should include everyone at some point with a chance for something really good. I do have ideas for events where the whole server can participate, without the need for modded clients, divisions, forum participation, or other stuff like this. It would still be competetive. The problem is that they all push the workload to Wargaming, as they involve them filtering stats on a scale that can't be done with warships.today or similar sites. And I just don't see the WG-EU team doing that (unlike their US colleagues). I could give them the ideas but as I can't do the work it will probably never happen. I will give my feedback in your upcoming thread for your future tournaments (it's really only one major point, the rest is details). Until then I will wish you and all participants all the success and fun you hope to achieve.

Apples and oranges really.

Once again, as it seems I'm not presenting my point very well... I'm not against those tournaments and I am gratefull for those organizers that they present the competetive players an environment where they can show off. I really am. It's great. I never said that they have to stop, that they should be less prominent, or that the organizers are doing a bad job. I never will. What I have a problem with, is the unreasonable high rewards, when compared to everything else achievable on the server. Rewards as such are good and fine but they should be in line with the others Wargaming, as the sponsor they are, are offering. Rewards that will go towards a very limited group of players. Newcomers taking those rewards away from them might make good stories but they are exceptions and nothing else. And no... I don't want those prices for myself. I don't want a shot at them. I'm not much of a competetive player. I want Wargaming-EU to make a more balanced aproach to creating rewards. WG-EU, in my mind, has a tendency to split the community into two groups. Those that deserve good rewards, a small but high profile group, and those that don't deserve anything. Be it with those tournament rewards or with randomly given away gifts. I want them, not the tournament organizers (those don't do anything wrong), to start to treat their whole community with the same kind of respect and affection. I might have suggestions to make the tournament like this a bit better and more open for newcomers, but I'll post them where it is appropriate, or send them via PM, if I feel that it is necessary. Because how a tournament is run, is up to the organizers and those are doing a damn fine job.

Make your mind up. What is it? Casual or competetive? I'll end this discussion here with me saying: I'm glad that you are not in charge.

Ranked isn't ultra competetive. It is a random game with additional rewards and smaller teams. And Supertesters don't get anything for free. We do have to work for those rewards in the very same way you do. We need to achieve top rank just like you and not all of us will. We might get to test these ships before you can get them but they are always taken from us afterwards. And for that dungeon example: You might not call me again. If I am there with friends they will, as they will understand the circumstances instead of throwing a hissy fit. If I had a lot of fun with some random guys before I had to go, they'll probably remember the fun more then my early leave. If I made a big impact during those early minutes they might remember that as well. But I'm not sure if you will actually ever understand that with that weird set of priorities. Real life is more important then some random online games. Always. And yet you are the one who is egoistic here. You are the one who wants to exclude others because they impact your vision of a competitive game. Those kids in your example mostly still play because they simply enjoy football. You might to want visit a playground again and watch kids play. There'll be constant come and go of players. I had my fair share of such matches and usually we simply adjusted our teams a little when someone had to leave or wanted to join late. We played because we had fun playing and enjoyed each others company while doing so. Never would it have crossed our minds to exclude someone just because of his time of arrival.

Other players invest just as much effort. Just not as teams. They don't ever get the chance to get similar rewards from WG, because single players are at best rewarded with a handfull of camos, a few signals, or a couple of consumables through the default offerings WG provides to the masses. Providing some elite few with those big rewards repeatedly is simply to much. I'm all for tournaments for teams. But right now it just feels like some exclusive club, that will share the profits between themself. Promising that everyone else can get their share. While in fact no newcomer will have really have a realistic chance to cut into the profits of those elites. I'm pretty sure that those competetive teams would still participate without such unequality in reward levels. They are looking for ways to prove themself. I'm all for giving them the chances to do so and those tournaments are the way to go as long as there is no proper ingame mechanism to support them. Those few players just don't have to be the sole focus of Wargamings reward systems. There needs to be a balance and I just can't see it right now.

I'm so glad that WG isn't sharing the sentiments some of you have. This isn't a sports competition. This isn't some life or death issue. It is a simple game. You might want to remember it someday.

Yeah... that's me. Sorry, but I didn't pay attention to my teammates names recently, so I didn't recognize you. I hope it wasn't in one of these few matches where I really sucked.

My only problem with that tournament is that it will repeatedly reward the same players. Even if you open it up for more teams, the type and number of players is very low compared to the servers population but the rewards are much higher then anything else that is offered for the rest of the playerbase. If it had lower rewards, or even being for bragging rights (and the flag) only, or if there would be offers from WG-EU for the rest of the playerbase to also get chances at months of premium time for a few victories... The way it is now, it looks like WG-EU is only really rewarding a select few players with those sponsored prices, ignoring everyone else. Even more so if you look at their current weekly and weekend offerings for the rest of the playerbase. I know that the tournaments are privatly organized, but this sponsoring and the advertisement on the front page, together with the special reward flag, does give these tournaments an 'official' painting. I'd love to see a tournament format where everyone can participate and not only the best pre-formed teams have a real chance to win the very impressive prices.

You recieved it immediatly after each victory in which you dealt at least 2500 damage. It was a "per battle" bonus, not a doubling of your captains XPs after the event.
