The best way to piss off the lowest possible amount of people is by simply treat everyone equal. This is what WG failed in first place when they wanted to refund a skill point for some and not for others. And now they seem to change it again, so some get a full reset and others are screwed. Perform a global reset and everyone is treaten equally and nobody has a reason to complain. After all, nobody in the community asked for the skill tree to be changed in such a drastic manner. I've never seen any request to make SA a default feature, WG came up with this idead on their own and we have to "suffer" from it now. Of course will this piss off a lot of people.

Which would be pretty crap too. Either there is a reset for everyone or none at all.

Yep, this must be it. Not the majority of complaining people about this obvious screw over are right, nope it's this one person that can not comprehend why this is a screw over. Just leave it at this, you are happy with the way WG is handling this and the other 99% are just stupid and like to qq a lot.

He should make a "How to not use shitty music in your Video" guide so his videos will not be block by half of the countries in the world for copyright infraction. He seem to have a lot of subscriber and viewer so he makes money from it for sure. Pretty dumb to block out a huge audience because people can not get used to not use copyright music in their videos.

No you understood this wrong. Concealment is the most important thing for a DD. Just read the example again and try to understand it this time ;)

Let me try to explain it by example from a DD player perspective. We have 2 Fletcher Tier 9 US Destroyer, one has 15 skill points and the other has 14 skill points. Since both skill their commander the same (1. SA, 2. Last Stand, 3. Superintendent, 4. DE or BFT or Extra HP, 5. Concealment). Obviously the guy with 15 Skill points is fully skilled and has to grind a lot to get an extra skill point while the guy with 14 points has 4 spare points because he saves for Concealment as 5th row skill. The 15 point guy will get the Repair skill no mater what, while it would be much more important to get Basic Fire Training to reload faster and shoot faster. The guy with 14 points can skill this right now knowing that he will get the point back from SA and still need only 1 point for Ceoncealment. Now what do you think will happen when these 2 Fletcher fight over a cap point and get into a knife fight? Will the guy with extra repair come out ahead or the Fletcher with the same firepower but shooting his guns 10% faster? It's pretty certain that in at least 8 out of 10 fights the guy with the 14 points come out ahead and soon will also have the 5th row Concealment, while the right now 15 point captain will have a huge disadvantage until he reset his points or get a 16th point, which take forever.

Weekend Warriors at it's best! Apparently we lost and it's so sad and depressing that it's almost comical. [edited]

While it does not affect me really (DD-only player with additional skill points to spend on all my ships) do i have to agree with the other players that this is a bad solution. Sure you have a lot of data to look at what skills are used, but does it distinguish the skill level of the player? I'm sure that maybe 80% or more of the newbies think that extra repair must be awesome and pick this skill or they pick it just randomly because they are not familiar with the commander skills yet. On the other hand the vast majority of DD captains with let's say 750+ battle know that the repair skill is useless for them and they pick something else. I can imagine that the newbies do not even notice that their commander skills were changed, while the more experienced player are screwed over with this change. I only hope that you will at least give a 50%-75% discount to all the players that are forced to reset their commander skills. When will 0.5.9 go live? This week?

Here are [edited] from the replay file. Pay attention to the chat where i predict that we will lose despite the enemy team has a mega fail division.

This skill is not to make your torps go farther. The skill let you detect torpedoes sooner that are shot at you, so you have more time to react and dodge the torpedoes.

They were in a division with Nastywhatever the AFK guy. He was a T8 who picked the wrong ship according to the other two low tiers. If you call it bull i can send you the replay file so you can see it for yourself ^^ He probably disconnected that'S why he does not show as in division.

The whole report system is bullcrap. First of all, why is there no clear "Report AFK" there? Then what does "plays poorly" mean? This can mean everything. And why is there a limit of 7 reports per day? Does WG think that after 7 reports the flamers in 30+ games per day suddenly stop or does peole stop going afk? The whole report system is trash and worthless which only support the AFKer and chat abuser while letting the honest player down. And yes, the at least the chat report seem to work somewhat, since i received once a 24 hour chat ban for telling my team the truth what i think about having them as "team mates".

I like the smoke screen changes a lot. Please do not listen to those who want it to be bright white or colored or whatever, it is perfect as it is right now. If there are thoughts to change the color/brightness maybe add the option to chose different styles then. On the SA changes i agree with the others. As an almost DD-only player i'd also like to have the option to pick my first skill rather than get a skill that i do not need at all. A full commander reset is a bit too much, but let us choose what we want to have as first skill point.

look closely at the matchup. A T2+T3 division in a T9 match plus an afk on the enemy team and we still managed to lose!

Read the first post where it says: US ended last week, EU ends at 25th

Repair Costs are pretty equal at high tier or in general. I am a DD player 95% of my games and i see a lot more DDs die (soon in a match) than anyone else. Usualy while capping and DDs get no backup from cruiser and BBs at all. DDs do not have the ability to shoot 2-3 salvos and sink ships and generate a ton of credits while sitting out of range for most other ships. If you want games to more active, less camping and more fighting, the repair costs have to go down drastically because this is the main reason why people camp and why mediocre players like myself hesitate to get T10 ships because of these insane costs. I stick to T8 and T9 where it is somewhat okay with the costs.

So does this mean that it's a ship build-in feature and when i assign a commander from one ship to another for 200k credits, my commander skills are reduced by 50% but Situation Awareness is working? Right now, if you assign a commander from another ship without completely retrained him SA is not working.

The grind is real if you are a bad -or at best mediocre- player, sadly i know this from my own experience. Even if you play your best game you can do nothing against these people on your team like yolo suicide cruiser that try to cap and die after 2 minutes or DDs who think they *must* cap on any cost and die in focus fire instead to pop smoke and get the heck out there. And this is not Rank 20 or whatever but Rank 10 to Rank 6. Yesterday i hit rank 5 and had pretty good games, but it took me 19 matches from r6 to r5 because so many won games were lost stupidly. Right now i'm at 190 matches with 57% WR in ranked and only r5. Now i need 6 stars per rank which is demotivating and i'm not sure if i should try to go for Rank 1. I've seen players with r1 after as many as 800 matches and barely above 50% WR, wtf. Yeah, it definitly feels like work when you are bad.

Actually i think it should stay in the game but only for co-op matches against Bots. This is great helper for newer player to get a feel where to aim on different type of ships and angles. For random and other game modes it should definitely go, remove the icon completely it is ugly anyway. I'm sure that it does not make any difference for above average player to top player as their aim is already good to excellent but the removal of it prevent from possible illegal Mods that exploit this indicator.

Screenshot 1: AP above 3km Screenshot 2: AP below 3km Screenshot 3: HE below 3km Happens to my own shells, no idea if this applies to enemy shells as well because i only tested in the training room. As i said, it's no big deal, since this rarely happen to be that close to an enemy and if i am, i have other things to do than to look at the color of the shells. I just noticed this when i tested how your AP shell color compare to the default game shell color. I like yours better since they give a bit better contrast to bright background.

Is it intended that in very close range (about 3km) the AP shells are orange just like HE? Not that it makes any difference and it's rare that one is that close to an enemy anyway, but still, since you ask for feedback.

That's exactly what we need, Yamato's that don't miss shots anymore. This will make the BB camping situation not really better. It's probably just a matter of hours until the first Mods show up to exploit this any further.

Hola! what the title says, will WG add additional free port slots when the german BBs are released?

Guys, thanks for your replies. But i must say that the salt, hostility and subliminal insults by some people here are disgusting. I asked a normal question, simply because i do not play this game for very long and was just curious how WG handle a new tree line. This was neither a nonsense question nor am i a freeloader, i've bought a premium ship package for my son and until two days ago i also had premium playtime, so i support this company already double.

Why do they give 8 port slots for a free account and not just one port slot? Why would they add a new tree without adding an additional port slot but force people to either sell ships or spent cash to try out the new BBs? Who knows, that's why i ask. Your reply is appreciated but not helpful at all. Should not have replied when the reply is completely useless and not helpful at all. Besides, look at my register date and when the last time port slots were on discount - weird, huh?!
