Maybe you should pull the people working on submarines, superships, megaships, gigaships and terraships and put them on fixing basics. I doubt anyone minds putting off the other classes for 'indefinitely'.

The entire problem is that people still think WG has competent humans to work on the game. Spoiler, they don't. Just look at their last fiasco, and the one before that, and the one before that.... They are completely lost and are brainless adding stuff no-one asked for, destroying elements that do work and remain ignorant of things that need fixing. And since they do not read English (nor bother reading forums), they remain ignorant. Either pay, play and ST*U or leave. (or vent on the forums that no-one of importance bothers to read, so at least your real life community isn't affected)

well, well. The dev's showing their incompetence again. Another Bingo card is near full.

1) They don't care 2) They really are incapable of fixing stuff/are incompetent. 3) They do it on purpose to make sure people buy prems/move faster to high tiers or some other reason that doesn't make sense to humans. Take your pick, it's one of the above. I personally think it's 2. Even WG should realize by now that it's impossible to maintain the current system, but the guy who designed MM is retired/has moved on and not a single person has a clue what to do now.

Maybe, just maybe you could make it so that teamplay is rewarded..... I know it is a lot to ask, but having your primary rating based upon individual play, have ship classes designed for egocentric play and do not reward ships based on what their class is supposed to do, you don't seem to make a lot of effort, or are incapable to do so. You may think that MM is a complex thing, but since you seem to have no problems in limiting certain classes (that should not be named), I doubt it is a complex problem. All in all I would like to add that, despite your best effort, it is still a very bad idea to push (or allow players to buy) into high tiers. I am convinced the MM will look a lot brighter if not a quarter of the team consists of T9/T10 ships 'captained' by 500 games (or less) players. It would help with my patience and understanding to say so. Eagerly awaiting, I have loads of popcorn.

As long as WG remains blind to one of the most obvious stupidities they pulled, nothing will change. T9 player, 332 battles. T8 player, 280 battles. I know it's about the amount of random games a dev played in his life, but it's just not enough to learn the game. They should, at the very least, put a game limit on tiers. But since I don't speak neanderthal, I have no way of letting them know. Disclaimer: I have no objections to Neanderthals, I just think they are unsuited for game development work.

Never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity

I doubt they have to skills to recognize their own failings. That skill takes about the same level of understanding to do their job in the first place. We shall have to wait until WG hires a person with actual knowledge of dev work, but such a person might be to expensive.

even a broken clock....

well, well. Just had one doing a houdini at 11km. Shame, 1 more volley and he had been first blood. Don't know, 10.something conceal seems a bit BS. even by WG standards. at least it isn't yet another LR HE spammer, so not yet complaining to much.

And like magic reappeared a few km's away to do it all again....

They are so thickheaded that the simple concepts and solutions are to hard for them to grasp. But just let them tinker around with the next doomed addition, while the basics are getting worse by the day.

Learning is an alien concept for WG. They can't learn, so why would they make the game so that players learn? Thanks to the incompetence of the dev's, out of the last 12 random matches I played, 8 were glorified CO-OP matches. So well, that's gonna be a very low amount of matches played for me this weekend. Shame, I was really looking forward to spending some time in game. It's a good thing there are games who do have a team of dev's that are competent. Sad thing they threw away a good game because hiring skilled staff is not a priority for WG.

Nope, no melting planes. I am however summoned by the police to come out with my hand above my head and walking backwards.......

Just tried that in my cossack vs a FDR. No melting of planes.... So now what?

You expect a group of people that has trouble to keep the basics in working order to fiddle around with these kind of complicated things? Besides, such a thing would only help players to understand and learn, they don't want that. All you need for more fun is spend some money, you can start of playing T8, 9 or 10 ships. Why even bother with the low tiers?

Ahh, the old 'sniping from the back' issue. Well, as long as WG thinks that LR HE spammers and snipers are the most profitable ships, noting will change. Besides, think about it, as long as you are in the back, you live, and can do damage. And thus have a higher PR. And thus be the boss. Just don't forget to ask for intelligence data from about 2min's in the game. Those pesky DD's are all losers, either committing suicide, not spotting for you or leaving you open for attack by another DD. Yama's are for the backline. Schlieffen. Just have fun in it ;-)

I'll book this under "Another example of the inability to keep the basics running". Don't be hard on the codeboyz, they can't help it, coding is difficult and WG doesn't have money to spare for real gamedevelopers salaries.

Allowing players with such a lack of games in T10. Way to go, WG

It's much more rudimentry then all this. You all think it is ill-intend, but it is not. The person who made the MM is long since retired and not a single dev has the slightest idea how to fix this. I mean, if a company has trouble maintaining basic game features like maps or ship elements, how can you possibly expect them to think up a MM system that makes sense? It's simple incompetence. The talent that designed the game (and did a good job) have all left and somehow they have failed to hire staff with skills. It's the only explanation. If it was all thought out, they would've had the brainpower to not make it so blatently obvious. Besides, they came up with the completely unworking concept called submarines and even after weeks of live testing all matter of incarnations of the monstrosity have been unable to find an acceptable way to implement them. Even to the point they were forced to remove them, because they are completely lost. If there was any doubt about their talent and skill it should be gone by now. They have all but destroyed a very fun game by sheer incompetence, and it is time they face it. *because it is inpolite to insult the weaker, I have made sure to be as nice as possible, I'm sorry if I insulted any 'programmers' and 'developers' working for WG at the moment, but it was about time someone told you that you are messing up.

What if we all choose 1 thing, sincerely and without salt, put up 1 thing we would like to have (changed) in the game. And then (dis)like the things we (dis)like. Only type 1 thing, no discussion, no fighting. And just (dis)like what you want. Just so we can get an idea what we really want. Civil like. I sincerely hope WG will rethink the MM and make sure novice players and super uni players have a challenging yet doable match. (I'll get the popcorn and wait in hopes of sincererity but with low expectations) EDIT: Yeah, some find it very hard to stick to a request..... Or they never bothered to red in the first place. Even my low expectations didn't prevent some disappointment.

Edited* People speaking up is a sign that they care. You might want to 'suck it up' and accept that a rather big group of people is not having a good time with CV's. And they will tell everyone, wether they want to hear it or not. You are fully free to ignore it, push the dislike button or say you don't agree. If other people feel that using the karma system is a good way of letting you know how they feel, that's the freedom they have. If you don't like that, petition for a karma system that does function.

So, we will see MAC-ships, Motor Gun- & torpedo boats, escort-corvettes, Minesweepers and Seaplane-tenders. They were all real ships that had a function in naval warfare. Oh, but maybe not in ship-to-ship battles? You know, like submarines were used in another aspect of warfare. Novel idea: You could build a mode with convoys and submarines. :-) For now you are running into some the same problems the historical navies had with submarines and fleet operations. Only in the game you can use magic to solve some.
