My 2 cents: Your PR based on the ships (So monty calculates more damage then Z for 1 point of PR) is not added-up and diveided by 2. Those scores are compared to all damage done by all players and all ships. So it's a different calculation. Don't forget certain ships are prone to huge damage numbers.

I'm afraid they can't be bothered about it. Just buy yourself some fancy lottery tickets and you might get a shiny new ship, it's more important then quality, player support and some blokes who didn't spend enough anyway.

so, half the player base can be punished?

I would wait for 5min if that means that I get a quality match. I rather wait 6min for a quality match then 30sec for the one-sided crap that WG serves these days. But since WG is only interested in quantity, the will simply ignore any comment on that anyway.

As WG stated before: "There are so many ships we can't balance it, but just have some fun" They aren't even pretending anymore, they've given up on it and are just YOLO'ing their way through it all, lost in their own web of lies, incomprehensible mechanics and complete lack of vision.

"I'll look into it" will be the answer and you'll hear nothing from it ever again.

You expect the support team to seriously answer your question? They have an automated system for that, designed to give the same non-answers WG staff gives. "We are very sorry to hear that the game is not to your expectations" must be the most used. Don't forget to note they shift problems towards your perception at the first possible oppertunity. They get payed by the tick I guess, just some underpaid home-worker from who-knows-where.

I wonder where they teach this 'throw loads of poo at a wall and see what sticks' way of gamedevelopment. Must be an online academy of the University for traditional Medicine.

Something you can do manually, but WG cannot do automaticly. Incompetance at it's highest level. Such a shame.

Yeah, well. It's hard to get competent staff these days. Grabbing some quick bucks is easier and can be done with a few braindead wannabees at the controls.

You have gotten a non-answer from WG, welcome to the club. WG has no intention of fixing the API, I guess the person who knows how has either a very long holiday or has found an employer who cares about their product. Now, please, never again expect an answer from WG that makes sense or is helpful.

As long as WG doesn't care about their own game, why should you? Immoral acts can only exsist if there are standards and since WG doesn't have those, you cannot be immoral. Problem solved.

I stop after 3 bull games in a row.. Most have no winners anyway. As long as WG is incapable of assuring basic quality control in day to day operations, but they simply admit they are incapable of that and leave it. Not a shred of proffesional behaviour. If they had any dignity left, they would feel shame, but it seems that has long past. We are stuck with condecending arrogance from CM's, people that dare to call themselves 'gamedesigner' and whatever titles WG decides to give out. A shame, yes. But for WG it's all in a days work.

I don't like the playstyle, there are far to many of them for my taste and I feel they hold back the flow of the game. So like I said, it's a personal thing.

Shame you walked away, enough to discuss here.

The problem is not the casual player. The problem is that this player is demotivated by the sheer amount of bull that WG throws at them. If I, as an average skill player, cannot make a difference in the outcome of a match, because randomness and RNG 'decide' it is not to be, WG screwed up. Playerskill is is less and less deciding in the outcome of a battle, because WG fails to let players like me feel the impact. Think about it, the times you loose 1 dd in the first 2 min and all of the sudden 3 others yolo in to grab some damage... Those players might not show this behaviour if WG did their job right. Even I, who tries to always save whatever the odds, has the urge to 'get it over with asap' so often. That is WG's failure. 70% of matches I play are complete bull, one way or the other. I don't mind loosing a match, but I do mind 'winning' a match that would be won with only half the team. This is the result of WG not caring, not thinking and certainly not having the vision one would expect from a company claiming to be a gamedev. WG's dignity has left the building, they don't even feel shame when most battles are without quality.

I see. I'm talking about an average player in terms of skills. I should have said : Average-skilled player. As in a player who does know the basics, has some expierence and know what is expected. My mistake, sorry. So, this becomes an average-skilled player. Yes, I feel such a player should be able to/feels that he is of influence. After all, that's why that player is average-skilled and not a 45%-er.

I have no trust in WG whatsoever, I just wanted you to know that Sera is not going to give an answer that even comes close to usefull. But I see you already are aware of that.

I have never claimed anyone is entitled to anything. Not exactely, my point is that avarage players are left feeling unable to much change the cercumstances they find themselfses in. The result of that is a playerbase that is uncaring about wining/loosing and that leads to very many games that are very low quality. WG should feel responsible for that and not just push the 'it's the playerbase' fairytale when there are complains. Their predatory behaviour and abuse of new players is adding to that problem, making for rows of games that are low quality. Now, you are completely free to agree or not, but I would like you to keep things in perspective and stop accusing me of walking away, because I am still here.

I leave your remark as is. You shall have to do better then that. And you might wanna try a channel that has some say about that. Unless you are waiting for a non-answer from a lightning rod.

No one is entitled to anything. Yes, WG has a responsibility towards the quality of their game and the players. If you think they have not, it is rather useless to discuss these finer points, we differ in core philosophy to much. No prob, all their own.

Save your breath, no use in argueing. Some people have different goals then others. Let people strive those goals.

Just in case someone didn't know, I repeat this so we all know what and where the priorities lay.

If you don't get it, you don't get it. Enjoy winning.

Nope, completely and utterly wrong in just about anything you claim about my standing in this. I could now painstakenly explain why, but I am not going to. Your tone is such that I lost any and all appitatite for that. P.S. If you feel winning is so easy, I can fill in the reason you play. Rather sad actually.
