twitch DROP content (promises & reality)
Aragathor replied to remenberMYname's topic in General Discussion
According to PanzerknackerPasch (the replay CC) the twitch drops have a chance for ironium and not all are going to be changed. So again WG acts in an customer unfriendly manner. -

According to the article the changed containers are active since Friday 2am CET. So any container dropping now should be a changed one. -
0.8.4 [Updated 24/4] April’s Twitch Drops Just Got Better
Aragathor replied to The_EURL_Guy's topic in News & Announcements
Nice! As someone who watches twitch when too busy to play I really liked the concept of twitch boxes (mostly for the oil to improve the clan base). Having them tied to specific events is a step in a great direction. Having a chance to earn a SC is a big plus too. I have learned that instead of changing all containers for a week you only added a small chance that a container will have ironium, but of course you forgot to tell us this, creating the impression that all twitch drops for this period will be changed. That's not right, as it is dishonest. You are just again aggravating people, for no gain. -
You got lucky, twitch boxes will give out ironium in the next 10 days: https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/community/hello-ground/ The chance is very high you'll get 3 of those to top up your stash.

Premium Shop in April: Camo from Makoto Kobayashi
Aragathor replied to The_EURL_Guy's topic in News & Announcements
Got Kaga from a free box. Not really a CV player so I'm not going to buy. The price per box is hefty enough with an unknown drop chance... -
0.8.2 Update 0.8.2 - Space Battles (Space Assault, Rings of Saturn, Binary Star, Torpedo Beats)
Aragathor replied to MrConway's topic in Archive
Thank you WG for this mode and missions. Because of your desire to create a lazy and cheap event, I have been confirmed in not spending money on your product. I know you have earned decent coin from me in the past, but that's what it was, the past. I understand that you don't care about the players and that you'd rather go towards bad designs and cash grabs. But don't expect whales like me to support it. -
This is a straw man, in a serious discussion using a straw man shows that you have no arguments. Using a strawman shows that you are a troll and not to be considered in a discussion. But let me elaborate, have you seen the pen values of the HIV? All the deck plating of the GK becomes irrelevant. You can have the best armor scheme, angle like a boss, and you still will be farmed like a noob. Also, the fore and aft sections can be targeted by IFHE cruisers, as they are only 32mm thick.
-
Every other existing and future T10 ship does what the GK can better: -Fast shooting guns? Every other BB has only 0.5s less reload with MBM3, if using the useless 420s you actually shoot slower. -Armor? Others can easily angle and use their armor better than you. With the coming of the Kreml the GK will be a joke, as the Russian BBs are built around pushing and tanking. -Secondaries? Take an IFHE Repu and have more fun. -Even the complete package is not good enough. You will find a lot of haters who would love to see German ships made crap, but truth to be told all 3 T10 German ships are just at the bottom when it comes to offering a useful role in battle.
-
Good idea, GK has the worst angles from all T10s and it shows in the stats. Last week GK players on average tanked a lot of damage, but had the worst survivability of all BBs at tier. The supposed benefits of turtleback armor are completely nullified by IFHE and full pen salvos, on a ship that has the choice of showing a flat angle or lose 50% of its inaccurate guns.
-
WG really tries to make everything worse with their improvements, don't they? It's a fair point, if the end effect would just duplicate the effect of another mod, so thanks for sharing that with us.

Which Legendary upgrades would be good to have?
Aragathor replied to BLUB__BLUB's topic in General Discussion
I agree. The 5 heals you can have will do nothing when a Republique derps you for two citadels through the nose from 26km because a DD spotted you trying to maneuver the clumsy and highly visible cruiser. -
That's a real pity, the Chat nr. 2 was the best of all chat mods.
-
Just wait until WG will run special events, normal missions, CBs, and Ranked all at the same time. Because no lifers are the primary target audience.

0.8.2 Update 0.8.2 - Space Battles (Space Assault, Rings of Saturn, Binary Star, Torpedo Beats)
Aragathor replied to MrConway's topic in Archive
Whoever configured the ships should be fired on the spot. Most of the time it is necessary to fight not only the enemy team but also the idiotic setup of the ship itself. I understand that you want a click'n'play game mode where 4 year olds can shoot at ships, but at least you could have tried to play to the strengths of each ship. -

Aragathor replied to BLUB__BLUB's topic in General Discussion
Hindenburg's LM is a mistake. It offers small benefits for the price of a huge nerf, as it sits in the 5th upgrade slot. The idea of shorter fires and floods is great, on a BB, on a cruiser that eats Alpha damage it's an error. As someone who has played Hinden both in randoms and competitive I can tell you the LM is a waste. As to the ship itself, the meta changes and the buffs to other ships rendered it obsolete. -

Aragathor replied to BLUB__BLUB's topic in General Discussion
Zao is good, if you can weave and dodge. Kürfurst is great if you run secondary a spec. Grozo is really good, while Khaba depends on your play style. Henri is lulzy in randoms, but not anywhere else. -
There's a mission set for clan battles which gives 7 of those flying boxes. In the personal missions tab AFAIK.
-
Thought so too, last few times I missed out big time with boxes. Today got the 4 last boxes of the CB mission: Wanted Enterprise more, but Kaga is a real collector's piece because of Pearl Harbor and Midway.

Not tolerating abuse, sexism, racism, homophobia in game chat. Community needs to work harder.
Aragathor replied to PassTheSalt's topic in General Discussion
As long as WG has the useless report system with karma to hide behind, don't expect anything to happen. And let's not fool ourselves, the people you are really addressing won't read this thread. -
Good points all around. Right now secondary builds are viable on many BBs, save the Germans which pay a too high price for them. The French are hilarious with their secondary builds if you double down on IFHE and Massachusetts is just broken compared to Tirpitz. But secondary build need love either way, as the current meta really makes them subpar and they are too expensive compared to what they deliver.

Do you still use BFT & AFT on your ships (regarding free Commander re-spec in upcoming WoWs v0.8.2)?
Aragathor replied to Leo_Apollo11's topic in General Discussion
I have already removed AFT from most ships, but I'm going to remove both it and BFT from my remaining captains, with the exception where the skills have use for their non-AA effect. Right now both skills offer a 1p value for a 3p & 4p cost. AFT is really bad as an increase in the flak burst damage means nothing if the CV player dodges it. I have noticed that investing heavily into AA is uneconomical after the rework, as skilled CV players can just evade your AA and wreck you, also the low survivability of most AA mounts make AA useless anyway after taking some HE hits. -
Super Container Loot Thread [ topics merged ]
Aragathor replied to ThePurpleSmurf's topic in General Discussion
Two dailies, two rewards from the Halsey campaign, only one of the dailies was worth it (50 Scylla), rest was incredibly underwhelming. In all 4 cases I'd rather have coal. -
It's not us. It's not us. Same old. I'm having 0 reasons to continue supporting this joke of a company. Going to let the premium time run, then I'll stick to being a free player.

Interesting post about how is WG balancing ships!
Aragathor replied to Leo_Apollo11's topic in General Discussion
That's what I thought, that they use aggregate stats from time periods not relevant to the changes, so I asked him about it: So they are using mostly short periods of time to assess the data. Or so he said... I'm leaning more towards human error and a purposeful desire to make certain ships bad. -
Thousands of hits received from battleships - none of them AP
Aragathor replied to Admiral_H_Nelson's topic in General Discussion
Nope, bot BBs use AP against cruisers and battleships.
