    a ship is about to be banned from sale

    Grumpy_Shark replied to Reisen__'s topic in General Discussion

    No you made it clear. It is shown by the general attitude of you tester people towards people that buy premiums. You frown upon them cause you consider that PayToWin and their victories on those ships do not count for you because the ships are OP. Ok then i am willing to trash all my premiums so that i am not under that category and i want my money back. Simple as that. Here is what happened (as Mr Monk would say) . People probably was not buying certain ships despite the company having the contributors advertising them by filming perfect plays with them. So then some new skills came. IFHE. So the ships started to sell like crazy then . But then WG realised that perhaps those ships had become stronger than what they wished. So they wanted to nerf them some way. Not directly though. With the removal of IFHE the ships would become crap again yet the company could not be accused they nerfed the ships themselves. But you know what? This is a halfwitted move. In the end of the day we realise the real deal with all those premiums. They make it initially strong to sell and then after some time they apply nerfs direct and indirect. Well, that's a froad then. You tricked me nicely WG guys. GJ as they say. But i have now learnt from my mistake and i will act accordingly in future to come. PS you will get no other replies by me, I want nothing to do with you and your set up "forums" . I hoped to exchange views with real people. Not WG's paid trolls. Keep it up. You will soon witness the results of your policy sooner or later in the only way of opinion expression you dim worthy. In your bank accounts.

    I just want my money back. I got Belfast with IFHE. Without IFHE i would never bother with it. Now that i am thinking it was a mistake to get anything since it is in fact frowned upon the majority of testers , so we that buy premium ships are PayToWin... You have made it clear. OK THEN I NO LONGER WISH TO BE UNDER THAT CATEGORY. I WANT MY MONEY BACK and you can have your premium ships.

    1) I return you that about the nonsense 2) Most people avoid the forums as they know they are usually hijacked by cliques that bully and harass in various ways people that don't agree with their views. That about your prompt that:"you are allowed to make one division yourself" reminds me of the excuse very wealthy (mafia in truth) men say to the poor : "Hey you can do it too just grab some people and make a mafia-gang like mine then set up a business as cover and you ll be rich as well! (yeah right) How about remove the mafia all together instead? 3) I like Belfast as it is, it is you that call it constantly OP and want it to be nerfed and you are happy with IFHE nerf etc which will make it crap. So it's you that sabotage the sales by the attitude you have versus buyers of this ship. That their victories are not deserved and its because the ship is too OP and this needs fixing. So the person who got the ship realises that the testers frown upon their ship and them. Seriously if i knew that so many shared that mentality i would never buy anything from WG. In fact I want my money back and i will gladly trash Belfast and Arizona.

    Divisions are being unfair to everyone Belfast and Kutuzof (especialy Kutuzof) will be crap without IFHE anyone with half a brain can get why. The constant frown upon people buying some premiums ships by the testers is discouraging more people from doing so. Perhaps WG should see your case more closely as I don't think it's their aim to lose cash.

    AP shells of Belfast are not like AP shells of Leander Fiji or even Neptune. They do crap against ships with even slight angling. And ofc i was not using a single salvo of AP on that match since they were all nosing or 3/4 towards me or tailing. Now i don't remember all the match but even if a ship turns you side briefly it's usually a dps loss if you try to switch to AP because by the time you will be ready to shoot he will have likely moved or angled. So yeah in Belfast its more beneficial to stick with HE (unless perfect broadside and close distance). I remember especialy a case me in Belfast against an Omaha, i did it first salvo of 5k in HE but as that match had gone well for me (not this in the screenshot) i decided to play it pro and try for his citadel but i kept geting overpens and glances for about 3 salvos and then thankfully someone else got him cause he kept geting me lower and lower with HE... I could have finished him easily with HE but nooo! I wanted to do it in style. Well lesson learnt. And no that doesn't mean i never use AP against broadsides. In fact i still remember citadeling constantly a Kongo using AP on my Emile Bertin as he was showing broadside at me probably feeling safe because he was in a BB. :)

    Grumpy_Shark replied to Reisen__'s topic in General Discussion

    And is the reason i am not going to buy Kutuzof also because on high tiers people shoot in smoke or throw torps all the time so it isn't actually safe in there anyway. I think that without IFHE Kutuzof will be even more hurt since it plays with ships of even higher tiers so it goes against even stronger armor ships so even more shatters than Belfast will get. It will do crap unless it gets really lucky with fires which damage is repairable in fulll by BBs if it sticks ofc and doesn't get repaired immediately... The devs should go on the open and say to us. when these changes will happen... cause as it is i am not buying anything and i bet others too as long as all this fog remains also because from what i see there is hate and prejudice from cliques of some people against people who actually pay money for this game by buying premium ships. Does WG know about the attitude also of some beta testers like you towards the players? Do you understand that what you achieving with this attitude is to discourage people of buying anything therefore hurting WG financialy in the long run? What will assume someone that is seeing that kind of attitude? He will assume that there are premium ships for sale but they are either crap or being looked in disgrace by most. Well then noone will buy anything any more.

    Grumpy_Shark replied to Reisen__'s topic in General Discussion

    Yeah right... but i am showing you a real screenshot that shows clearly what would happen without IFHE. Do you disagree? Look again in my screenshot. Tell me what my damage would be without IFHE judging by the ships i did most damage at. You just claim that you were doing fine without it... well that says nothing. I show you facts here.
  10. Grumpy_Shark
    For certain I wouldn't want to end up with people like you either, because you are probably used to play in divisions and get carried by far more competent people than random players like me. I can only carry myself at most. Having to carry you would be rather improbable. It is good for you that you have your friends for that so i understand why you would avoid ranked like the plague. And please do so also in the future.

    Grumpy_Shark replied to Reisen__'s topic in General Discussion

    Me in Belfast, see the damage? If i had no IFHE i would have done only about 30k since all those shots against BBs would be shatters. Interesting fact as well is my 9 fires. Now Belfast has a low innate starting fire chance but despite that on this match i was very lucky and got 9 fires! Yet look at the damage these fires did... Only 23k. So now you see how crap Belfast would be without IFHE.
  12. Grumpy_Shark
    No, he well deserved the place he got, it shows from the fact that even on his losses he was constantly getting first place. If it was so easy you would have rank1 too mr rank23 (perhaps you were too... busy i guess with supertesting and such... yeah... that must be it...
  13. Grumpy_Shark
    Yes i am talking of the last season that you could not get into divisions. I DIDN'T SAY THAT YOU COULD ON PREVIOUS SEASONS if that is what you try to extract out of me. Because i don't know about previous seasons. I am talking about this last one. And your points prove my general bigger point. That this player you mentioned with the "bad" stats on ranked WAS MORE THAN DESERVED TO GET TO RANK1 because even on his losses he was constantly getting the first place of his team which shows that your whole stance towards this matter was wrong from the start. PS so you admit that you supertested that model and by the stance of you on this I get that you strongly disagreed with this feature about "first place loser not losing star" In that case I APPLAUD the dev team that ignored you on that.
  14. Grumpy_Shark
    Bad players are of course a very important factor of the equation but MM is another less important perhaps but still present factor. My profile is unimportant. This thread was not about me and my perfect stats , if it was about me claiming i had perfect stats then yes it would be a serious matter, but the thread was about something else unless you didn't notice that either. Nah... let's put stupid courtesies aside. You just wanted to dig in my stats to make fun of me or to compair to yours that would be higher and feel a bit better about your miserable existence. Go ahead then. Stop arguing with me, apparently your arguments are lacking so you invented a "reason" to withdraw. I could answer to the irony with more spicy irony but I ll make an efford not to get to your level. Well in that case he was well deserved to keep the star! These should not' count as losses either. In fact this should be implemented also at random matches perhaps the first place losses could be not count as losses but as "first place losses" therefore be put into an extra category so to not add up to your losses. It was a very nice feature this in ranked, i had forgotten about it.

    Grumpy_Shark replied to Reisen__'s topic in General Discussion

    Ok then, let's go again. When the IFHE nerf happens, quite soon I presume, these 2 ships Belfast and Kutuzon will be much less impactful so the problem stated by you will be no longer present
  16. Grumpy_Shark
    Probably i needed since you didn't seem to get that for final phase 12 to 1 one needs to have ratio win/losses above 51% in that final more hard phase, and to get to 12 from 25 you need much less efford, in fact anyone should be able to get to it even the most terrible player can get to 12 if he sets on it. So where the 44% comes from? I preferred to assume you didn't know all the facts because otherwise, it means that the numbers you provided are deliberately trying to mislead.
  17. Grumpy_Shark
    No matter how lucky one can be he cannot get such a long string of excellent teams that will carry him from 12 to 1. I am not sure if you know all the facts of it. To get to rank 1 from 12 you need to win more than you lose example to get to 11 from 12 you need 4 wins(stars), if you lose you lose a star if you manage to get to 11 and lose you get back to 12(3stars) if you win again you get back to 11(no stars) etc so even a player with bad win/loss ratio he needs a positive ratio to cross that final phase.and get to rank1 so what you say cannot stand to reason. Final phase of this guy's matches was POSITIVE, he surely had a win to loss ratio of at least 51% otherwise he would never reach rank1 . Another thing now: the win/loss ratio of randoms can be misleading. It shows your general "mark" from day 1 in game to now. But someone could have been crap for a very long time and suddently became better while someone else could have been good from the start and there he remained. The ranked games are important because they give a possibility to people that will never get to positive win/loss ratio in their normals to show they have improved. The ranked matches that seem so ubnoxious to you (why really?) are in fact quite fair in the sense that for starters all ships are of same tier , and especialy last season there were no radar ships or very powerful smoke ships that could be a game-breaking factor. due to the widely accepted bad way of the MM (many times i have seen in randoms for example to put in one team 3 NCs and on the other team 3 Tirpitz , they could put 2Ncs+1Tirpitz and 1Nc+2Tirpitz , or to have one team taking all radar ships and the other nothing) Also in last season people could not form divisions and break the game and that perhaps was the factor that drove many "aces" out of the ranked , because they had forgotten to play a completely random match, they were spoiled in the sense that they were used to play and look good only with their trusted pro-teamates. So ranked actually had set the conditions for more fair matchmaking
  18. Grumpy_Shark
    The divisions are of 2 kinds: 1) 2 people divisions , which are usually two guys that are friends and also like to play together in games. Most times they are common people they like to play with their buddy, that usually know him in RL too. 2) 3 people division , this one is more professional usually especialy if you look at the composition, (if it contains a dd or a cv are usually more pro players) These ones aka the divisions of the 3 people seem the most game-breaking factor especially if they are composed of ranked1's etc.

    Jus Relax. When the IFHE nerf or removal arrives both Kutuzov and Belfast will have been nerfed to your liking. Soon you will be happy.
  20. Grumpy_Shark
    As i mentioned ALREADY i didn't made the post to show my performance on that match but mostly the team composition and the powerful factor of division especially if this division is composed of people in rank1 + the khabarovsk that on the hands of rank1 is a PITA by itself. But perhaps it was too hard for you to understand Einstein. Your poison spitting though shows to me that you try to hide your guilt of failure as a tester because if you were half-good at your job these kind of MM would never happen in the first place.
  21. Grumpy_Shark
    I feel admiration for such a person. It shows persistence. And still...something looks flawed in you equation: the fact that he managed to get to rank 1 shows that despite his losses he managed from rank12 to rank 1 (aka the hardest part) he managed to get at least a positive outcome of wins to losses ratio otherwise he would never make it! Because to get from 12 to 1 no matter what you do you need MORE WINS THAN LOSSES. Which means that he may had the losses prior to that probably because of the MM. So you confirm, in your way, that something must be wrong with MM
  22. Grumpy_Shark
    Well, noone else is born perfect like you. What matters is to keep going with what you got, with what you are made of. I play for me not for you. I am not hoping to make friends or admirers. Just stating a couple of facts i find important about the game in this thread and that's all.
  23. Grumpy_Shark
    Hey i even posted the video of that crappy performance, I wasn't trying to say that it was a misfortune i lost. I played bad. But if you would see how in general the match went you would realise how totaly overwhelming force is to have 3 rank1's in a division one of them in Khabarovsk(quite broken ship but everyone likes to throw stones at Belfast) + 6 rank1's on enemy team -only 1 rank1 to our's, so its the combination of all these that leads to that. And ofc i can show you games i did well. (i have even videos) That was not one of those. In internet people try tp push a fake image about themselves. I don't i know its a surprise but this is who i am. I show the good and the bad.
  24. Grumpy_Shark
    Forget me for a moment here , i may had a bad match , I also stuck at edge of screen. I mean does this line up seem ok to you? one team 6 rank1 other only 1 ranked1 , THAT ALONE IS HUGE. Plus division plus the 3 rank1 in division. You play it blind but it's not gonna work. The screenshot speaks for itself. As for the destroyers they chickened didn't go for the objectives,2 areas on the north remain uncontested noone went the dds sat there , they were next to them but noone would go cap them, i could not hit the khabarovsk everyone was shooting it, could not hit it, it had to go down but... crap... then they killed some of our ships so the match was pretty much over... they had big point difference so THEN i yoloed to just try to kill that [edited] in Khabarovsk. At that point nothing else seemed of importance anyway. But this game doesnt reward the people that try to play for the team but the people that play for their ego.And that is bad mentality. (I knew i would do crap dps but i kept firing at Khabarovsk at least to distract it a bit so that it is not left unbothered. I have hit in the past other Khabarovsks but in other ships. With Baltimore somehow the salvos don't go where i excpect.) I have the video you can open it with World of Warship.exe , Its the map ice islands. 20170823_204740_PASC017-Baltimore-1944_18_NE_ice_islands.wowsreplay

    Team B has 3 players rank1 together in division. Team A has no division. And as this was not enough the team B has 3 extra rank1 players. Team A has only 1 ranked1 playeream So team B has 6 rank1 players in total. While the other has only 1 rank1 player. 3 of them rank1 together in a division PLUS one of them in Khabarovsk... (goodluck hiting the rank1 player into the Khabarovsk... ) .
