Thats pretty much how I feel. Addition: I really dislike this "form a division and betray your teammates then" approach in combination with the 3 keys / exit portal implementation. People clicking in and thinking they are the sh!t when they division you, then get in position to cross torp you, kill the divi and giggle like brain dead lab experiments. Its something, imo, we NEVER should see in a supposed team game, not even in a fun mode. I advertises the wrong kind of thinking. Anyway: all other halloween modes of the years before were better, more fun, you could play with your clanmates / friends, different difficulty levels, nice rewards... feeld like this year, the efford of creating this new mode is wasted and spoiled by the stupid rules/bad rewards.

nope, definatly not - I tried that. Im hardly playing randoms anymore and still nothing is happening

He was talking about clan wars btw. And another btw: you are talking to someone, who played on the highest level of e-sports in another game, he was EU-Champion in 4x4 Team, 3rd in the European Nations Cup 4x4 and came in the top 3 in several other competitions in that game, which was about money & prizes. So you lecturing him about e-sports just made my day. And another btw: not any game you play, you play with the goalset of absolute competition. That doesnt mean, the game is allowed to be a YOLO WE ALL DONT GIVE A FUFU s-fest. Couldnt be more wrong. I spare you the details. Dont want to waste more time.

LOL. Literally every change in the recent past was catering to bad players and removing skill & thinking from the game - yet its still too hard for you? - Making CVs so easy to play, because the average joe couldnt keep up with doing more then one thing at a time. - Nerfing flooding to the ground, because it was too much thinking progress on how to use DCP efficiantly - Giving everyone permium consumables, because ((that)) group of players couldnt understand how valuable it is to have a short cooldown or an extra consumable And you STILL complain, that the game is "elitist" and "unfriendly to newcomers" L O L But ill give you something, why the game is unfriendly for newcomers: CVs :)

If you ask me, the Squadron should not be available at the start of the game - have the ship start with depleted reserve and then reload it (like torpedos or the mainbattery at the start of the game). It would atleast prevent the absolut tr**** players from fiddeling with their planes right away AND not have several squads of planes about the DD in the first minute(s).

I got a taste of this once, pretty long ago. During RTS CVs times, the enemy team had 2 CVs playing in absolute perfect synchro. They came in at the same time, on the same target, cross dropping and dev striking one target after the next. I was about 99,99% sure those were 2 guys clicking in until they are in the same team with their T5 CVs. So anyway, I noticed after they took down the 2nd ship very early, that their teamplay is just out of this world. Then I watched them pick one ship after the next, there was absolutly nothing you could do, until it was my time. All torpedo squads from 2 CVs dropping from 2 sides a perfect crossdrop. End of game. And they went for the next target. Picturing this beeing a regular thing now, atleast for DDs, is nothing short of shocking. Its going to be worse then Conq tho. Low / mid tier Ita BBs will cita cruisers with SAP, like Orion does with HE. Difference is: Orion slays a 5,9k hit on a cita, Ita BBs will throw out 10k+, roughly double. 3 of them in a division - a dead cruiser every 30 sec... The person at WG, who thinks, its justified for a SAP shell to do more damage then an AP shell, which is harder to use, should be put head first in a toilet bowl. There he can think a little bit about his next idea, the subs.

That sums up how I feel aswell. We shouldnt laugh too hard about individual karma like in this case with OP. We will all suffer one way or the other. I can already see the 3x divis, all 3 driving to the map border and when you ask the BB-hybrid to tank/push you will be insulted with "im a CV you f********** c*** s********* d*******". great times ahead.

That only testifies, how wrong their concept is. Should I post the composition of another super-toxic division or do I keep it for myself for now... Just hinting, that this will be Orion 2.0. Just better.

Nope. I havent made any judgement about the fairness of the price for Hizen. Matter of fact - I do not have an opinion about it. Not at all what im saying. Couldnt be further away. You are really off on judging, whats my point. Although I think I was pretty clear on that.

Who would have thought that this will be a thing huh?

Yea right dude. Well, good luck driving to work in your shiny new Hizen then after Xmas. You can also sell heroin. Or offer to murder the old lady next door right? More strawman... wow.

You are pulling a complete strawman here, I hope you know that? Ships in wows are in their own universe, unlike a car. I can go and sell my car to my neighbor, gift it, trade it, anything like that. Does not apply to ships in wows. I cant even eat it or turn it into anything else. Thus the monetary value of anything in the game is actually - zero. always.

Well, and when you port shows this then... Either way, I wouldnt trade the Battle points into credits. If you want to make credits, you go and play Narai. Because: And thats 11 mins + additional 30+k cpt XP and 20+k free XP. Edit says: I even found a better one

As someone, who is constanstly trying to communicate and give info to my teammates via the chat, I can only ask you not to turn the ingame chat off. Its a viable tool and super helpful in certain situations. Only yesterday we managed to turn and win a game, because the last 3 guys on our team all used chat and coordinated their movement. Would have been a loss else.

Ah ok, at least something. But isnt your ship locked until everyone finishes? witch can be quite a long time? Ah well ive already ignored the mode anyway, tested it for 2 games but its just not worth it. Did a little bit of math and came to about ~ 60 hours of playing time for the T9 perma camo alone. While you get nothing else but the camo while doing that. Would be something to think about, if you get credits and elite cpt XP but like this...nah.

You get 0 tho when you fail to be one of the 3 entering through the portal, right? So the 100 games is not only optimistic but rather impossible, its gonna be way more. Ive done 3200 on my first game. Aleady seeing people clicking in, requesting you to divi, then cancel the divi and gang-bang you. lul people are so desperate no-lifers for a ~16e perma camo. That beeing said: you dont gain elite cpt XP unlike in earlier events, no credits, nothing else. Total waste of time in a mode, thats pretty boring on top?

Thats usually how I do it aswell ^^ I just had the idea: next time, there is such a mission, I think ill division with 2 others in need of doing that. 3 BBs that arnt shooting are better then one hrhrhr?

I always use Massa for those Missions. Used to do it with Jean Bart but the position/firing angle of the Massa secondaries just makes her more effective, especially in coop. From the recent secondary mission, this was the best result imo: Cant compare to Ohio/Georgia since I dont have em. But with their speed they should atleast be equally good for farming secondaries hits if not better. But overall, I dont think it matters that much, they will all net you massive secondary hits, so maybe you need 1 or 2 games more tops if you dont pick the best among the 3 of them. But yea, I dont think any other BB can get really close to those numbers.

open your console and send a ping request to the web adress, like here: in that case, the correspoding IP of linuxhint.com is 64.91.238.144

They would be using their own DNS server. You can actually look up the individual DNS-server IPs from them, in case you need them for some configurations https://www.dna.fi/liikennerajoitukset https://yhteiso.telia.fi/t5/Kysy-ja-keskustele-palstan/Nimipalvelimet/td-p/64660 f.e. lists their clear IPs. The routing itself of the traffic has nothing to do with it - your request to connect to the wiki (in this example) never leaves finland if the DNS doesnt resolve and forward it. Wiki and other wows-related stuff indeed are hosted by the same company, in luxembourg tho. its https://gcorelabs.com/ The IP of the different services varies tho, which might be enough for one service (like wiki) to end up on a ban list, while the others remain accessable. If you really want to get to the bottom of this, write DNA a mail and ask them, why you cant access the wiki (give them the url and the IP). Would be interesting to hear what they have to say...

Switching DNS is kinda common... but I couldnt say how high the percentage of users are, that are using a different DNS then the auto one. Its also going to depend what group of people you ask, Id think within a gaming community, the percentage is for sure higher then across the board of internet users. About the "why would they ban WG wiki" - there might be a possible answer. If something illegal is hosted on the same IP(-range), your website ends on a ban list pretty quick. That would also explain, why people from many different countries are effected. Its one of the main problems, why you want your own IP when hosting a serious website. On a first look, I dont find any other page hosted on the same IP but it is an external hosting service so who knows who hosted what on a similar IP. Maybe some ISPs are happy trigger and banned a bigger range of IPs. Edit says: DNA. that rings a bell! some time ago, a friend of mine couldnt access ANY wows service (not even the game) because he got connection error messages. I told him the same thing about DNS change - worked instantly. tagging @DFens_666 to get him involved. That provider was *drummroll* DNA from Finland. btw: didnt knew you are finish :)

So, since DNS change worked, its your ISP who is blocking the IP/webadress. We can gather now, which ISPs are banning the wiki. Where are you? To add some technical background: the DNS server is nothing else then a huge database, which resolved the url requests into IP-adresses. So you if you send the request for wiki.wargaming.net, the DNS server looksup, what IP-adress is saved for that adress and sends you there. When ISPs block certain adresses, the entry get deleted and thus you cant access the page any longer via the url. You could however if you know the IP-adress.

In the exact same place. Just click back on "obtain DNS automatically", the boxed will gray out and thats it. Here is a walkthrough how to get there: https://www.betterhostreview.com/change-dns-server-windows-10.html

Changing the DNS is absolutly save, just follow the screenshot. You can always change it back to "auto". It depends on the ISP most likely... Ive ran across several hidden ban actions of ISPs, sometimes even temporarily. Some finish providers like to temporarilly ban russian news outlets. Internet is not so free anymore as we like it or how it used to be...

change your DNS to 8.8.8.8 and try again edit says, I posted before reading all, shame on me. so here is how to do it: If it works after that, its your Internet service provider blocking the IP(-range), where the wiki is located for whatever reason. But dont try to ask them, they will only tell you how stupid you are and that everything is fine on their side.
