    Super Container Loot Thread [ topics merged ]

    That's not a supercontainer. You'll get a big blinking message while the container is delivered if it is one. No such message, no supercontainer.

    Halloween camos. They provide the usual type 5 bonus plus 100 % XP earned. Yes, you can use them in normal game. In fact you can't use any camos in the scenario mode.

    Saving Transylvania

    After I won it, I'm now back to normal gameplay. I'll play the mode a few more time in the upcoming days but only for the reward camos. I hope we'll see more co-op missions like that in the future.

    Oh... yes. Here are my screenshots.

    Finally won one. Thanks to a division that stayed well coordinated.

    Saving Transylvania

    There are more then 16 Zikas. You only need to kill 16 for the secondary task, but I believe the total number is 20 plus the Rasputin. I don't think it is a bug as those ships spawn in predefined locations. That your Trans beached itself is a bug but it could have been caused by a teammate ramming the ship and thereby pushing it off its preset course. So far I played 7 games and never managed to win it. Some players always run off to do their own thing and die by catapults or enemy ships.

    Halloween Ships

    Already played two rounds and damn that mode is hard. Both were clear losses. Plenty of targets but only a limited supply of teammates. Don't stray to far away from your teammates. As the opponents spawn at prefixed locations as soon as the Transylvania reaches a certain point you can find yourself right in the middle of a bunch of enemies from one second to another.

    Potentially all of them can drop free XP.

    A new EVENT on the way?

    Could someone copy&paste the facebook infos here. I'm not touching that website (including their imbedded scripts on other sites), or anything related to it, if I can avoid it in any way.

    BB mission

    No idea what you are doing wrong. I got most of those kills playing my beloved Nagato, as well as farming british cruisers on tier IV while leveling german BBs. The kills I made with the german ships have often been double or triple citadel hits for instant kills.
  12. Sail away from the DD. Yes, s/he is faster. but it'll give the player a smaller profile to aim at. While you sail away wiggle with your [edited]. Don't be to predictable in doing so or s/he will adjust. Don't extinguish the first fire you get. Fire damage can be repaired, so it pays of to pe patient and wait for the second or third fire before you engage your damage control party. Don't use your repair party as a replacement for your damage control consumable. If your teammates are in tunnel vision, sometimes a small chat message can help. Don't use SOS. It usually gets ignored as it mostly used by players who brought doom upon themself, or when it is not really applicable. Use focus target instead. And lastly... work on your aim and prediction of enemy movement. I never really have a problem with long range spamming DDs, as one good salvo will drive them away. Just don't get impatient in your shots. Even if they evade, they often use the same evasive pattern again and again. Predict it and aim for the point where they'll be. Edit for one more important note: Don't Panic!
  13. There were four more chapters online today. Please search the online reader of your choice for more details. As for the topic: ARP Haruna
  14. Get well soon so you can enjoy your holiday in Kent. Hot tea is supposed to help in such cases.

    super skills....

    Most logical explanation: Someone behind that island that you could not see. With detection skill that someone will detect you from 3km distance and you wouldn't know that s/he is there.

    Four "try your lucks" later I got 15 flags and 100k (!) silver. Let's see what the weekend will bring. Due to time limitations probably not more then 2 crates.

    Friendly damage system needs further rework

    I don't often agree with Pete, but in this case I do. Your shot, your responsibility. Pay attention to your surroundings. Always staying fully zoomed in even while your guns are reloading is what has caused those problems. The BB probably did the same thing as you. Or he was forced to move into your position because he had to evade. Yes... even BBs need to evade incoming fire. And he might not have extinguished the fire immediatly because fire damage can be repaired and a single fire is no immediate thread to a BB. Or it might still have been on cooldown. You can't know it, so assuming that the player did it to hurt you (I wouldn't blame the player for it) is just another sign that you don't want to take responsibility for your shot. If you want to avoid those situations in the future, learn to predict your teammates. Avoid staying fully zoomed in. The right mouse button is your friend. It only takes a second or two to look around you between shots, less time then your guns need to reload, and with the better situational awareness it gives you, you have the potential to become a better performing teammate yourself. It also helps to regularly look at the minimap to see if there are friendlies dangerously close. If you do that you can check on them directly while you do a situation check.

    Now that you mention it... yes, you are right. Added together they are the exact same numbers. The way they announced it in the patchnotes did spark a glimmer of hope. It is worded in a way that lets you assume totals instead of added values. Math now seems to extinguish it. That is frustrating if true because they then essentially ignored every single feedback post they got about this new function.

    How many levels can we reach?

    Trust me, I would have noticed the influx of extra credits at that time. It would have more then doubled the amount I had back then. The same goes for the premium consumables. I still do not have 25 of each and there are some I never used. Not to mention the sudden premium time. And there were threads back then that complaint about the issue that we didn't get those things.

    How many levels can we reach?

    I can't remember when they implemented those level rewards, but when they did this existing accounts didn't get the rewards retroactivly. Only players who reached a new level after the patch got the benefits of those gifts.

    Why do people hate anime?

    Thanks. Even though I couldn't watch the first video because it is region locked for me, I'll put it on my list for my anime time next week. Tomorrow is planned for the Madoka movie and my weekend is locked with other activities. I am always open for recomendations. I am not limited to a specific genre. I have watched so many unexpectedly good series over the years that I pay attention to recomendations even if the show at first doesn't appeal to me. Guess how I got into ponies.

    Why do people hate anime?

    I just watched Puella Magi Madoka Magica. As I never had any interest in Mahou Shoujo, I ignored it so far. Yesterday, while watching a random top ten list on Youtube, there was a comment that the show is actually a really dark one. That got my attention. Well... I have now seen the series and will soon watch the third movie (skipping the first two as they are only recaps) and it was really good. The first episodes still have the usuall happy go lucky Mahou Shoujo feeling but by the end of episode three... let's just say that at the end the show isn't far away from being all dark and that is only the beginning. What is left of the lighthearted atmosphere gets stomped, cut to pieces, and finally desintegrated. Even the happy end is not really one. Anime has such a wide spectrum that any hate aimed towards it is mostly misinformation. Some complain that anime is mostly kids shows. Others say it is only school girls in skimpy clothing (ecchi), or worse (hentai). Yet again others have seen a few shows aimed at young teenagers, or for girls, or for boys, or any other form of intended audience spectrum, and now believe all others must be the same. What all of those people do not realize, is that there is a seperate form of anime for all sorts of audience. Every type of genre you can imagine is represented in anime. Those who love darker, horror shows with a little gore would probably like Higurashi, if they gave it a chance. Those who are into Sci-Fi will most likely have no problems with Cowboy Beebop. For detective stories there is Kami-sama no memo-chou. There is an anime for everyone but most don't realize it until they have seen it. And where there is one anime they could like there is probably more. Some people are afraid of that and because of that they are prejudged against the whole spectrum. There is not much we can do about this. Fear and prejudices can only be fought with patience and education. Hammering it down on those who are against it, for whatever reason, will not be a solution.

    Compliments

    I'm using both reports and compliments regularly. In their intended implementation. I'll not report someone in revenge. I'll mostly report abusive chat behavior. We have a few players right here on the forum who admit to being abusive every once in a while. It'll cost them karma if I notice it, and it'll potentially end in a chat ban for them. I'll compliment if I see someone who is actually helpfull in chat or when a player is performing very good while I take notice of it. I'll not casually compliment for good end results. The actions I reward compliments for need to be above simple kill counts. One example would be a player holding a base or flank alone for several minutes until relieve forces arrives. Even if the player died doing that, he probably was a big help to the team and earned a Karma increase. Of course in the end it means nothing. Except for the chat bans, reports and compliments do nothing. Yet still it is important for some players so why not reward or punish them with a change on a virtual counter if they deserve and desire it.

    I just saw the patch announcements for thursday. The reduction in necessary XP for the third container is very pleasing. Even more so now that the numbers are close to what I suggested. The new numbers: 1. 2,000 XP 2. 10,500 XP 3. 24,500 XP
