[WTFNO] FearsomeFlotsam Players 204 posts Report post #1 Posted September 13, 2018 It seems WG has recently massively upped the chance of magazine detonation. I'm seeing them all over the place, and tonight my Saint-Louis has been detonated 3 times in 6 games. PS please buff the rudder on Saint-Louis. In some improbable oversight, the devs seems to have modelled its durability on cream cheese. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I find WG guilty and our victim according to doctor report suffered stress following: 1 day - very high level of stress 5 days - normal level of stress 20 days - temporary stress (from time to time) Verdict: DangerousDave2k will open ticket and wg will credit him 2000 detonation flags, so he can play game.

In some improbable oversight, the devs seems to have modelled its durability on cream cheese. Random things are random, though. People are just too good at noticing patterns - so good that they see them where there are none Not that long ago I got 2 supercontainers in the same day, from two adjacent containers... suffering 3 detonations across just 6 battles is much, much more likely than something like that. And yet - both can happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[WTFNO] FearsomeFlotsam Players 204 posts Report post #17 Posted September 13, 2018 I'm surprised you people haven't noticed an increase in detonations. Several people have mentioned it during in-game chat in the last few days. The rate of detonations I've seen during battles (not just my own) certainly seems to be massively increased since the last patch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[HOO] BeauNidl3 Players 2,191 posts Report post #20 Posted September 13, 2018 I've not noticed any increase in detonations. @DangerousDave2k I'm surprised you hadn't noticed that every one of the French cruisers to Saint Louis has a rudder made of flaky pastry, because they very much all do including Henri IV, Last Stand isn't a completely stupid choice on them all.

The rate of detonations I've seen during battles (not just my own) certainly seems to be massively increased since the last patch. Haven't been a victim or witnessed any detonations for a long while now. The amount of times I've been detonated accounts for ~1% of all my games. Some players are unhappy with this mechanic though and are vocal about it. I'd suggest to use Juliet Charlie flags or buy this, OP: https://www.amazon.com/Electro-Deflecto-Unisex-Foil-Size/dp/B01I497JAM Sorry, could not contain myself.

[WTFNO] FearsomeFlotsam Players 204 posts Report post #22 Posted September 13, 2018 Yep, going to bust out the (now very large) pile of Juliet Charlie flags I have. I didn't find Charles Martel or Algerie to have such ludicrously fragile rudders as Saint-Louis. The rudder on Saint-Louis is trollishly bad. Not looking forward to Henri if that's going to be more of the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
