So if they are the only DD they suicide? And if there's 3 DDs but also a carrier they also suicide. And if the DD player doesn't like the BBs on his team they also go suicide. Sure, go figure. Sounds like a ligit reason to go suicide They jsut want all their RNG handed to them ona silver platter, perfect matchmaking each and every time and if they don't get what they want thet REEEEEE and speedboost to the nearest red and pull the RNG MM slotmachine again. Of course nobody would care as much if DDs weren't so influential in the first place CAs capping and they get blapped? Perhaps cruisers need a conceilment buff so more ships can perform the capping procedure succesfully and not just DDs. I'm all for making the game more about individual skill and less about a matchmaker lottery determining how your game is going to be. I can say that being the only DD in a carrier game is no fun, but the same thing goes for being just 2 BBs in a 5v5 DD game and this is why WG nerfed this.

The PR was really bad involving this event. And oh, yes it's so much fun watching that ship in the dockyard which I will never be able to complete! Such enjoyment! (no not really) Sure, the extra stuff was good (premium time, coal, couple permacamos), but the PR BS along with what the future will hold (or won't hold in case of the operations) is not very enticing to me. But at least Stellaris is still fun

Kinda the same thing here, except I didn't get a tier 7 premium ship. And I'm a bit worn out from this game and not really motivated to continue atm (but at least I got some premium time left which I don't want to waste). I can still see all the post-battle garage messages right now! Messages like: oh yes, I haven't forgotten! I wonder why people keep playing that 'game' if it doesn't even make them happy. But it's certainly unhealthy for poeple like those.

There will always be stupid people playing any game. They are so stupid that they simply don't (or won't) understand that they are the stupid ones. Because obviously when they potato and get triggered, they feel stupid and just want to get rid of this uncomfortable feeling of theirs. So they start blaming others and if they can they will report those others and this makes them feel like a king! They are happy being a king of nothing So instead of getting mad at them (because due to their own stupidity, they will project their own stupidity onto you and will be totally convinced that you are mad because you fracked up), rightclick and report them, then rightclick and blacklist them. Imo it is fine to give constructive feedback about their accusations, but my experience tells me that stupid players will usually say you are lying/being stupid/being stubborn/triggered idiot/the list goes on for a while. Once you figure out that the other human you are conveying thoughts about, is just stupid, then stop arguing with them as you might as well argue with a brick wall.

I thinkl this one will be very close. But I got a couple friends playing WoWS and after this event has finished, I'll ask them how far they have been able to get, being the average joes that they are

Average is actually scientifically defined. Average in WoWS? Now it becomes a bit more unclear, if only because there's several different PoVs regarding average in what way, and because we simply don't have all the numbers. Solo winrate would be one way to look at it witha fair amount of accuracy.

No, it is not very subjective. Perhaps mildly at best, but you are really just showing off at this point. Has nothing to do with being average anymore. And besides, you certainly don't even consider yourself to be average. One of your earlier topics was about how skilled you were compared to the average joe here on EU, right?

I'm at directive 4 with 2 of its tasks completed and I will reach stage 27 and I don't consider myself an average joe. Did you not read the topic title?

It probably cost them nothing.

For certain here. Atm I'm kinda on "coop 1st daily crate, then log out" mode, except days where I can get the extra 1k xp. The operations were already getting boring with the limited choice we've had since a YEAR and the added bugs since 8.11 and the "if narai" n00bs since server migrants have made this mode even more unfun. The only good thing about the game atm is that the rewards are kinda awesome, but next patch all the snowflakes will melt and we will get the preview of a line of cruisers without having the ability to pick permacamos because afaicr, they now come along with the ship for RNG grindcrates. Well and it is a good thing WG are finally revving up to create some additional lines but what good is this if the rest of the game is just not that fun anymore with more unfun stuff on the horizon? (legendary modules turned to NTC food basically and removal of their missions which is my main gripe regarding this here) So I'm decreasing my activity within the game for now. Also watching twitch less.

I was saying that this bug that narai and raptor now have, is a new bug. Which it is. Afaicr I never said that there were never any bugs in any operations before latest patch hit.

You mean the Raptor when pushed against an island and not the escorts randomly going in all directions like what OP is describing is happening since only this latest patch?

Bugged in what way?

This has been so for at least several patches. The operations seem to have become bugged like this since the latest patch.

I'd prefer this one over the cube

Regret? Not really totally regret but PEF certainly comes close. I bought it more for the pay2grind and was hoping the ship itself would be ok and important for me was that it was a tier 6 ship (operations). But operations in 2019 also turned out to be a dud.

You can buy buying the xmas containers from the shop as those drop coal. The extra step in between is more about making it harder to see that you are paying money for it. Granted, coal is not usually for sale, but in the long run this doesn't really matter as people who really want to buy coal will simply unleach their stocked up money and buy all the stock of coal they feel they need. And saying a line is not for new players is basically somewhat the same as saying a line is bad. I have heard good things about the higher tier ships in this line though and on PTS the high tier ships in this line seemed very potent. But the lower tier ones certainly do not and that is not because they are harder to play compared to the higher tier ones, it is because these ships are worse tier for tier compared to the high tier ones. And obviously the problem is in his head. Same reason why the problem is in your head as well, right? Your opinion is of value to me, but your insults are not (regardless whether these are directed at me or not, it's just poor communication on your behalf).

I'm considering it, but I will perhaps need the coupon for a steel ship down the line.

Guilty as charged. And tbf, randoms are generally speaking just an aweful experience. Having said that, I do enjoy playing tier 8, yes even with tier 8 cruisers without any heals. But last weekend, I did not enjoy my last 3(!!!) gaming sessions at all. Only thing I did enjoy was my divmates, but the battles were often simply unfun, dotted with a good game here and there.

I don't see how WG would even be able to 'compensate' players for lost signal flags. Even the practical impact of the bugs of narai this patch will differ between individuals. And apart from that I doubt WG will compensate this (even though I don't give any guarantees about this, but I wouldn't expect it either).

I wouldn't go as far as to call Zara excellent for narai though.

Perhaps they don't require as much time to play through due to them being lower tier, but their shittyness sure makes them memorable (especially the tier 5 one which really doesn't appear to be much more then a smoked up citadel with RNG seamines). That tier 5 definitely made it into my top 5 list of worst ships I ever played.

If only we still had any of the other tier 7 operations left for us while WG scrambles to fix the narai bugs

Have you tried to disable your 'active collecting of erotic art data files from teh intahnetz' while playing WoWS? This should save up on your bandwidth and would help prevent odd ping issues like the one you described here I mean, it's even in your name, isn't it?

I think my favorite voice (or one of the) is probably Nelson, since I stuck her on a CV. I also like Hipper, I put her on my Nürnberg (I don't like Hipper (the ship that is)). I'm not a fan of the Hood captain though, or at least not as much. Another I like is Dasha, as I actually consider her voiceover to be of really good quality. Her performance as a voice actor is done really well imo.
