Reporting progress and a good day

An amazing game from @Bear_Necessities The last drop on the Mogami was ... uhmm ... I have no words.

Don't feel sorry! LOL I would torp the living daylights out of you if I had the opportunity. LOL Whats better than playing with and against forumites (and fellow Greeks) P.S. I should be smarter and not be where your torp went. Until next time.

Human beings are intellectually lazy. They want to follow the "path" of least effort. That's why they ask the obvious without any thought before they ask. Take the easy way. Ask. Why think. The same applies while playing the game. If I win I win, if I get carried perfect, if not who cares. They have the excuse ready. They have even convinced themselves. I plei 4 fan. That's why people (a minority) that like math, physics, literature, knowledge in general, are considered geeks and nerds. That's why people that seek to perfect anything they do are considered weird. So, if you put in the effort to better your game and you request that your game experience is not diminished by people that do not wish to play the game nicely you are a pathetic elitist and a stat padder. I hate to admit it. But its true. And I can't see a solution. How to accommodate both mind sets? Clarification Note: I have never insinuated that our fellow players are of lower intellectual capacity. I clearly stated that they are intellectually lazy. So, if anyone wants to say that I m calling them stupid, or a retard or what ever derisive term they might think of to claim offense... then they are either intellectually lazy and did not read (understand) what I wrote or they are exactly what they chose to find offense in.

repetition is the mother of learning

Dear, clearly you have no good grasp of statistics. So, according to you, if you have no premium you have better results than when you have premium. So, you will not get premium again. Well, if you noticed that you are having better results without premium you must be really bellow par in the cognitive faculties division of your cerebrum to continue paying for something that makes you perform badly. So, I guess you are rather wrong here...

@mtm78, @Procrastes One thing is to speculate and one other thing is make teleological discourse. I am a DD player. I am concerned about many things I have seen and read in various sources about submarines. I also share the same concerns with you about how they will fit in game. I also want to play that class. However, I don't have the slightest feeling about them. I am not a tester, I have not had the opportunity to play one in any environment, in brief, I have diddly to base my thoughts on. So, instead of making assumptions and speculations of how they might be I am waiting to see what will they will be. Then I will raise my voice and express my concerns. Its a matter of character I guess. Not of indifference.

Yes we (DD players) can. Aren't we doing so until now? This And just wait and see what happens. I really think it is premature to draw any conclusions. Anything said now is speculative.

Ohhh I really hope you are wrong

I second the proposal. Actually I will pay money to buy the commander if he hits the market LOL

uhuh steel for snowflakes and I will send them a cake

I d rather win than look good LOL

What I ll give him is that no kami wants a knife fight

I think I posted the replay watch it and tell me what you think

No way. He was a better player than me.

And he did because instead of doing what he should (kill me and then go get what else he would get) he said: Yummy straight sailing BBs Lets go get some And he lost As I see it should he had killed me he would get 6 kills and a victory instead of 5 and a defeat

I don't say you are wrong. I am a DD main so I guess I kind like it also. It was just a proposal. You know, restrictions can control the meta. This is not a good thing per se. But sometimes it could be useful. True, and a hell of a lot of stress playing ranked.

no need to be limited you mean?

No. This one has. It seems that T9 maybe a bit skewed towards DDs. So, maybe next time you need to take this under consideration. In TX cruisers are much more powerful and it could be different. In T8 (as clan battles show) maybe it would be DD dominated again. It never hurts to think about issues like this. Because Divisions are of high influence in Ranked and I like to be responsible for my defeat and not hunt to save a star. I think I have saved more than 10 stars this season till R7 that I reached. And I never abandoned a game to go farming. So, why not let me take my mates along and also bare the responsibility of my defeat. I am a solo player, but I have come to a point that I value divisions a lot more. Yes they influence the game because you have team work more pronounced. But isn't it a Team Game?

why not? if one game is dominated by one class then either you force it or you just leave it as it is and don't write up complaints about how it is dominated by one class.

Make it 2 X BB + 2 X Cruisers + 2 X DD mandatory allow triple divisions of 1 - 1 - 1 mandatory and let it roll or troll whatever suits you

My best Kitakaze performance in Ranked. And I had two reasons to celebrate. First one is the performance, the victory which I carried and my star. Its a nice battle. Posted the replay in the Spoiler. I sunk the Georgia in a 1 vs 2 (he was assisted by the Yugumo) and I fended off the Yugumo. Then I took on the Buffalo and the Yugumo again and sunk them both. And as my team had lost faith and thought that the game was lost (all except one that was supporting me and typing Not Yet) I kill the red Kita and farmed a few points of the Alsace. Victory on points. But the sweetest part of a nice meal is the desert. Some of you might remember a previous post of mine: Well, it seems I m lucky. Because I met this esteemed gentleman once again. This time on the red team. In another ship, but I guess he kept his style. And...I burned him all the way down to Davy's locker. Oh, I only wish I could see what they was saying on the chat. I am sure that they would be having the same all again. Most probably he was blaming his team again for his inability to reproduce a good result. Maybe it is Darwin's way to tell him that he must fix his game and character. Oh. One more thing. If you think I 'm cheap you are right. I am easy and cheap. LOL You cant be very picky at my age.

It is easier to save a star not get one MHO

There is a logic in both statements. However, my take is that when the "big boys" are around you know what to expect. When they have ranked out, you don't know what to expect. It is a question of consistency and randomness of results. So, when the big boys have ranked out you would expect that it is easier to perform if you are a player like me, on the above average level. However, the results are very much depending on luck. You get a goodish team were the other players perform logically well, you win. If you get players that are rather uninterested and see it as a casual ground to test their ships or to have some fun, you lose. And you get both sort of teams in a random way. So, you are waiting for the good series of good teams on your side and you go on.

She fell off a crate during XMass 2018. I looked at her and said "pfffft...a destroyer" and left her alone in port. Didn't even bother to dress her up. Just played her once in a CoOp for the snowflake event and I forgot all about her existence. February 20, 2019, I get the crazy idea to learn how to play DDs. Just after the rework. Don't know why. Even now I can't figure it out. Why on earth someone in his right mind wants to play DD when all cry out that DDs are unplayable is still beyond me. Not that I had good stats on DDs. I was a total disaster. I ask the forum, and I say "look guys..I have these ships in my port and I want to learn how to play DDs". She was one of the suggestions. I picked her. And since then I have almost 1,000 battles with her. She doesn't care if she is low tier in a battle or if there are two CVs. She doesn't even blink if all her teammates turn and run. She will keep her flank just fine. Give her an opening and you are in trouble. She will carry you through and she will carry your team as well. Even if they potato she will make sure things get right. If you potato however, you are going to sink fast. She has it all. Stealth, Speed, Agility and a powerful bite. Well, her guns are decorative items and for AA you have a sailor with a slingshot astern but you don't need them. She is never seen. Silent, invisible and deadly. If they hadn't nerfed the flooding, she would be the definition of an OP ship. She is the Kamikaze. The perfect torpedo boat. If I should play the game with only one ship it would be the Kamikaze.
