[TOXIC] Clan with benefits, virtually no obligations, lone wolfs and solo player are welcome

If you do not have a standard english layout keyboard this tilde key is left next to the Return/Enter key (3 keys to the right of O key) and you also have to press AltGr key to access it. With other words, you have to use the right hand to press multiple keys at once to access this key. I have my AA sector mapped to the F key.

Will you Reset in The Research Bureau
ThePurpleSmurf replied to Rhineheart_Thor's topic in General Discussion
I have 15 tier 10s and i play pretty much exclusively tier 10, with some exceptions once every few weeks/months when i play a tier 7-8 ship or when i grind a new line. While grinding a new line looks more like free XP to tier 6 or 7, then play up to tier 8 or 9 and then free XP to tier 10 again. :D I have played 7500 random battles give or take (total number of battles in the profile include also ranked, co-op and stuff like this). Out of these 7500 i have played almost flat 3000 tier 10 games and games at tier 8 to tier 10 are 5300 out of 7500. According to my WoWs profile on the main page is my average tier used by player 8.3 -
Will you Reset in The Research Bureau
ThePurpleSmurf replied to Rhineheart_Thor's topic in General Discussion
The earliest date where you have enough of the points to buy Ohio is what, 7 or 8 or 9 months? There are seasons for the resets and these seasons are time gates as far as i understand this 48 pages long 'simple' instructions. So not need to rush the release of the ship that you can buy somewhen next year. On topic Nope, i'm not going to reset lines. I hate grinding, i especially hate anything below tier 8 and i don't even have the tier 10s that are in the game right now because i'm too lazy. -

Research Bureau: New Rewards for Leveling Up
ThePurpleSmurf replied to The_EURL_Guy's topic in News & Announcements
This is because they figured that whatever they do, how good or bad something is, the playerbase consist of mainly potatoes and they throw their monay at WG no matter what. Look at the new player ection where a guy complained how bad WoWs is and that he only loses. Turned out he was brand new, played less than 15 games in total but owned the Graf Spee and the Warspite. So apparently even the new potatoes throw their money first and then ask themself if the game is worth it. -

No caps, no medals, and feasting almost only on the ships that give the least XP and still 2600+ base XP. Point proven.

Here are some tips for high base XP: Play a tier 8 ship. Tier 8 get uptiered most of the time, damaging higher tier ships award a lot of bonus XP. The lower the general ship tier the lower the XP, like you can have a monster game at tier 5, your XP will still suck. Damage as many targets as possible, even if it's just a small amount of damage Play a ship with a high rate of fire. This makes it easier to damage different ships in a short amount of time and collecting different ribbons XP from damage is based on percentage damage. Dealing 10k damage to a DD is much more valuable xp-wise than dealing 40k fire damage to a BB. Get medals, because they give bonus XP. Pay attention on how close you are to medals like witherer or dreadnaught, fireproof and so on. Just let the fire burn full duration if you are in a ship with heal. You can heal back 100% of the damage. Focus on damage first, then XP multipliers such a capping, defending zones Kill as many planes as possible XP ship priority for most XP: CV, DD, Cruiser, BB Certain premium ships have a higher than usual base XP multiplier, like for example the US DD Sims But all the tips won't help if you are a potato and don't understand how to play the game properly.

Subs unplayable now - demand refund!!!
ThePurpleSmurf replied to xxNihilanxx's topic in General Discussion
You just invalidated any threat to stop playing the game and uninstall because you revealed your long term plans of sticking to this future mess. -
Only at first glance. Most high tier DDs need 4 or 5 premium consumables to be competetive or at the very least survive the battle while most BBs have only 2 consumables. Doesn't seem much but play 300 games in either and do the math. Also the service cost is higher for DDs. And no, i do not mean the normal fixed post battle service cost but the ammunition which also cost credits per shell and especially torps. More consumables, extra cost for launched torps, this quickly sums up to 60k or 70k credits per battle. Is not much, right? Play 10 games and it's 600k to 700k, play 100 games and we are already at 6 to 7 million extra cost compared to BBs just for playing the game. The 'cheaper' silver price to buy the ship equals pretty fast. It is also a lot easier to play BB and much safer sitting far back out of range of everything that sinks you within seconds. The frustration level for playing DD is much higher and DD also has a much higher responsibility (play objectives, scout torps for the camper and so on, spot so the camper has something to shoot at) during the entire game.

How players think about Ocean map !!
ThePurpleSmurf replied to Atorpad's topic in General Discussion
Believe it or not, but Ocean had to be balanced at one point. The sun came in from one side only so the extreme glare made it nearly impossible to see the enemy ships that's why the side you spawned on had a huge impact on the outcome of the battle. I don't like this map because i play mostly DD and Cruiser and both need cover to be effective. But on the positive side, i don't see this map more than two or three times a year. -

What WG couldnt deliver to you in 3 years of endless requests, a modder has a done in one day
ThePurpleSmurf replied to ___V_E_N_O_M___'s topic in General Discussion
It can be very useful in certain situations. For example if you want to grind the 15 wins in Co-op for legendary modules and don't want to waste flags for this as it doesn't matter in Co-op. Also next months it will be most likely very useful when WoWs celebrate anniversary and they stick to the 1 Supercontainer per tier 10 ship in port. We have to play the ship to receive the SC and the fastest way is to play a Co-op game. Now imagine you want to do this with 18 or more tier 10 ships in Co-op. That would be a lot of wasted flags or a lot of clicking to demount all flags first. It's a niche-Mod that can be very handy. -

I'm a gamer since more than 20 years and i've played a bunch of MMOs in the past, but somehow i'm under the impression that the female proportion in WoWs is extremely low. While in other games like Diablo, RIFT, Runes of Magic, Blade & Soul, World of Warcraft and others the amount of females is pretty high (probably >35%), it seems that WoWs has a very abysmal proportion of female players. p.s.: and NO, i'm not looking for an online girlfriend. I'm happily married since 16 years.

When the Supercontainers for WG's anniversary?
ThePurpleSmurf replied to Amun_RA's topic in General Discussion
I got 2 ships in total from SCs: Krasny Krym and Dunkerque, the two arguably worst ships in the game. I think i played each of them once in the last 18 months. -

Pretty much everyone about the Somers right now
ThePurpleSmurf replied to ___V_E_N_O_M___'s topic in General Discussion
Which proves my point even further. If you have to relay on a division with stacking radar then the Black alone can not be that strong. Division with a DM or a Radar Mino pretty much means that the enemy DD is dead no matter what DD you bring, because you are only needed to provide smoke for them and this does not require a Black. Don't get me wrong, Black is a good ship and fun to play, but it is not the monster DD it once was and the only thing it has going for it is the radar compard to i.e. Fletcher but this short time radar lost a lot of value to the powercreep (enemy DDs with almost 30k hp, heals, long duration hydro and so on). WG already said it won't come back in that form. -

ThePurpleSmurf replied to ___V_E_N_O_M___'s topic in General Discussion
IMO Black is not worth it. It used to be very strong but times have changed. The radar + smoke combination sound good but the duration of the radar is very short and usually not enough to kill an enemy DD even if caught by surprise. Most of the time you end up in tier 10 games and you meet most of the time enemy DDs like Harugumo, Daring, Grozovoi. They either have enough health to outlast your radar or simply can heal back a huge chunk of the damage inflicted. And once your radar is gone you are in some serious trouble, because they all wipe the floor with Black. What remains is a Fletcher with much worse torps. The torps are the slowest in the game with 43 knots and you won't have much success with them. Even an ambush at 4-5km on a BB is often set to fail because the torps are so slow that the BB has time to dodge. Black is fun to play, just like Fletcher, and nice to have but more for the rarity value. Somers will be so much better than Black. m2c
