NothingButTheRain

As my first battle this afternoon in my Amagi, I came across @ForlornSailor in his Missouri, I think he greeted me with a citadel And as one can see from the screenshots it was a very easy fight for me (ok, not really one of my best fights ). I also had a run-in with a flock of DW fishes and I had been kyting DDs for what feels like half the game... I recognised your name but wanted to be sure you were a forumperson and by the time I could verify, the time to give +1 had already expired. Shows that apparently today my google skillz are just as good as my Amagi skillz Till next time mister Sailor

Frankly there has been so many carriers in the game lately, even in high tiers. In middle tiers even often 2 carriers each team (like a tier 6 and a tier 7), it made grinding Gneisenau soooo much fun! AP bombs) And the lower tiers have been infested with carriers for months now, often seeing 2 carriers each team. It makes playing ships with little AA (which is basically anything that's not a Brit BB or maybe Texas at tiers 5 and 4) a lot more frustrating I do like carrier gameplay and I like using them in operations (and maybe coop), but for the rest of the team it doesn't really add anything positive to it, except maybe not having to depend on spotting done by your DDs so much. Lets hope the CV rework will make it more fun for all of us And concerning Wooster, to me it doesn't seem broken by itself. I do think that radar gameplay right now (and especially the total amount of radar in the game right now) makes it a bit too hard for destroyers to do their jobs properly (mainly the capping one and especially in the beginning). Removing islands from within caps seems to be to their detriment, at least DDs will have cover when inside the cap. Perhaps all radar durations should be lowered a bit? I don't really know, I barely play DD anymore but that's due to unrelated reasons. I do hope they don't release stupidly OP ships anymore, maybe even do something about some of the old stupidly OP ships that are still in the game somewhere.

I think it would be more balanced in WoT if each vehicle could have (say) a max of premium ammo of 10% or so of all ammo, but it makes no sense as it is there now as people will simply spam gold on even bottom tier arty multiple times lol. Pay 2 win at its finest. In WoT it makes kind of sense...in theory..as there was actually such ammo in WW2 and it was hard to come by back then, but in WoWS lets not (except for starburst and maybe San Shiki but frankly I like it the way it is now). And -66% detectability And don't forget it's acoustically guided And premium planes armed with 1-time-use Fritz X!

The Italian is funny to hear though :P And I wish there was a premium Kongo for me to get (I never gotten a chance to get any of the ARP ships but I would play those Kongos a lot!).

The thing is that many people learn by doing. They go into the channel a couple times maybe and after a couple crushing sinkings maybe start thinking this strategy might not be sucha good idea. Imo the best tutorials already exist, I learned by watching Flamus youtube videos mostly, he makes it seem to easy...and often it is! These days it's not so uncommon anymore to google your favorite game, if only when one is bored when on the train home or something and reading the forums or watching streams when haing dinner...or whatever The thing is also that some people don't care about learning, even if they could. They just want to shoot the red stuff and they like the graphics and don't care about game mechanics. Imo there's sufficient tutorial stuff around, even some by WG themselves ingame. Just fyi, I think you misunderstood as I never said the reporting system should go away. I meant to say that it shouldn't depend on how much xp one has gotten as this would only make elitist unicorns feel invulnerable whenever they should get reported. Knowing they cannot because they end up on top of the list means people like me can get textually abused without me having any way to retaliate, but he can still report me. So afaic the amount of xp should have no influence on one's option to report someone (regardless of how useless the current karma system may be).

The same goes for the toxic person who dies early and starts provoking the people he believes did wrong to him and lets face it, not everybody will not be affected by this, play worse, end up with less xp because of the toxicity being a distraction and ruining fun and concentration. If people would not be able to report elitists, those elitists would only make things worse as they feel more like they are untouchable. It would make the bad once more arrogant then they already are, so lets not.

I'd rather keep WoWS as WoWS, I'm through with World of Tears and its P2W gameplay And the basic ones are free

I've played both KGV and got DoY while still budy with my KGV grind. I preferred KGV and my stats are better (KGV 65k dmg/battle, DoY 50k dmg/battle) even though I played KGV stock as well. Frankly I even prefer Monarch over DoY due to it having one more heal and spotter plane to extend the range of its guns.

Lets hope they won't in WoWS

In WoT I did exactly that! Stay close to the better players. The major difference was that, as most unicums there tended to play only for their stats, they would willingly bait me into becomming their pawn for distracting the enemy, getting shot at so he could farm even more damage In WoWS it seems not to be the case and most people who stay in the back are on the lower end of the skillz spectrum (them being a majority probably being the main reason) but it's harder to check the good players in WoWS. And you know what? When I got reported by the purples or when a purple had been wrong and perhaps had been toxic half the battle, not once did one chat to me post battle and say they were wrong or made a mistake, not even once... I guess being purple means one doesn't have to apologise to ordinary 52% winrate plebs like me To me admitting to be wrong is not due to being purple, but to being good character and I'd rather team with the latter I don't think that making a (mental) list of good players is a thing for me. I only know a couple streamers but it's rare to come across one (so far only Flambass and Jingles both once I think).

Looks like you went against an ex-clanmember of mine He is indeed a very good player But your loosing streak is a very bad one, absolutely. I had a loosing streak today, beware that it's the time of the weekends and this means you'll see all kinds of dark magic curling its presence under the surface of the oceans. If I loose game after game with any particular ships, I take another ship (usually I try 4 at the most, then switch ships, maybe switch tiers as well). If I still cannot win I play another mode (either operations or even coop). In coop I get the daily win on some of my lesser important ships as in coop you'll probably have a 95% winratio or so and even though this nets very little xp, at least you get a game in the green again Trust me when I say that most of us have had bad luck and bad luck and bad luck, an endless supply of so we all have our own ways to deal with them. This is how I deal with it. If all else fails, I'll log out and maybe try again tomorrow, or later that day.

Why do you ask?

I can very much relate to #1 on your list. Only an hour ago there was this player who accused our DDs of doing the wrong thing (going to the wrong caps). But when I asked him what our DDs should be doing, he replied with nothing but "lul" and let our DDs die as they had already comitted to the caps suggested by our team (which was the wrong choice and this purple unicorn knew this from the start but decided to omit this information just so he could get toxic about us being such terrible potatoes). This guy ended up reporting me, even though I was 1st position in our list. He tried to provoce me by commenting that I should pay more attention to playing better instead of being active on this forum (yes he aparently went as far as checking this while the battle was still going! ) while our battle ended in a rare draw and him reporting me. Obviously his report was called for, me being only 1st place and all, even though I usually dont play that good (go check my sorry stats and see it's not purple magic colors there). If only this smartypants had mentioned this information right away, it could've been a win as it was soooo close! We lost both our DDs for no good reason whatsoever. He's on my blacklist now, bye! But yes, I know what you mean and I'm pretty sure a lot of people know what you mean. I didn't let him provoke me but it did happen in the past. This toxicity ruins the game and makes people leave (either for a temporary while, or for good). I think WG should take this toxicity seriously, even if its toxicity made possible by 82% recent winrate purple unicorns (and especially if they themselves end up in the middle of the list, he forgot Im in this for the game and not for msn-clone).

I agree with your point of view. It may even be the reason they are still unhappy with it? Personally I think it's genious, or at least to me as it's an important incentive to log in every day. Kinda like "The first container is so easy to get!" and then suddenly it's 5 hours later

It may also be a way for WG to shield themselves from wrongly banning or otherwise interdicting innocent players who were wrongly accused by toxic players who send angry mails to WG in what these players believe is wrongdoing to them, but in reality is sheer ignorance on the part of the players who wrongly report innocent players. These people may be so totally incapable of admitting they were wrong, they might even go so far as creating lie upon lie, denial upon denial, accusation upon accusation, it would become a mess if WG would have to deal with people who behave in such a way. It's incredably frustrating and eats more time then playing WoWS If they are afk then I suppose it is against the rules but there are ingame punishments for that. More severe cases I'd agree it should be dealt with in more personal means by WG, esepcially if it is damaging to the game. There will always be people who get on someones nerves, I learned to either tolerate them (kinda), ignore them or just find another game to play. Can still report these for afk (though not sure it matters anything).

You're missing mine. Why should the SC look at me or at what I have to know what I want? For it can't possibly know what I want

Could you please elaborate in how you find WGs premium policy decent? Not only for me but for the general public. Frankly I don't like this being closed for the reasons I already stated, but I do see WGs point of view regarding this getting something of common practice which may hurt sales of doubloons (despite my own reasons as to why this doesn't need to be the case as people will also tend to spend more ingame if they gotten the doubloons cheaper). I do dislike exploits of all kinds (not just the gameplay ones) but I would prefer economic options to remain accessable for people like me.

Aren't these things things that you originally bought large quantities of? If yes, then why are you complaining about you getting more of them to WG when you know perfectly well that these can be gotten for free? What would you have WG do? Remove them from the containers simply because you are not happy with them? And what about stuff I have lots off, but wouldn't mind getting more of? Or what about signals someone finds kinda useless so they sell them ASAP or toss em onto their ships "just to be rid of them", only to get even more of those? Or what about people who get spotter plane module and don't want those so they sell them for the 600k credits, only to get more of those? To me it seems it might be hard to balance something that is basically a gift to us (though one that does kinda entice people to play every day and get premium time). I do see what your getting at here, I've some time ago gotten LOADS of those +5% fire chance signals, but over 100 of them? But I didn't get enough of the accompanying deto signals..yeah! But it does show true randomness, if anything. I hope they don't remove these, I think the daily crates are fun! ^^

The last thing I would want is corridor maps like in WoT I find some maps even on the smallish side (like the left bottom cap in the map The Atlantic when playing domination mode). Btw, "we" don't need smaller maps with fewer islands.

To me these containers are actually the major incentive to keep playing and I usually (but not always!) stop doing my doubles when I get the third crate. I do remember that event, I didn't really participate as I had barely any time to play those events. I like the current container system I'm still wondering what they meant with not being satisfied with how they work. Which aspect they meant. Perhaps it is the free stuff we get but perhaps it's something else.

This did exist back then? To me it seems like a good idea to re-enable them. It would even be ok if tier 11 and 12 battles were not common, every tier 11 and 12 battle would ease the tier 8 players. But for me, I would be fine with increased xp reward for damaging higher tier ships and such so my lesser performance due to being bottom tier is negated by the increased rewards. Did you also notice an influx of carriers the past few weeks?

I'm wondering what is meant by this? Is this the daily containers or really all of them? If it's the daily ones, I'm kinda satisfied with how they work and don't see any major issues with them? Or maybe I'm missing something?

The lower tier maps have more landmass relatively and I noticed the same thing about the higher tier maps being very open. I actually prefer the maps with more islands and more cover, even when playing a BB. That;s not to say I would want all current maps changed, but maybe a couple maps with LOTS of islands (maybe even like a maze or something?) or maps that are kinda similar to Fault Line, Estaury and Shards or at least kinda such an idea.

By playing the game. It's really not as punishing as you make it out to be. Get rewards, couple krakens to stock up on those +50% signal xp boosters. Or pay real money for some premium and premiums. It's really not a big deal if you ask me.
