Err,mmm ..... Rebalancers. I can see some logic behind this, wg dosent want to see more blacks/stalins floating around, since for many T5 would be a easy steel grind, but still, could have at least gave 20k coal or something. Or they could have made a special flag for Rebalacers, reach R1 and get a flag with a pirate seal on it 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[NAN0] HaachamaShipping Players 8,474 posts 10,052 battles Report post #279 Posted October 9, 2018 Come on guys, no need to flip your sh*t. Look at it this way. Rank out three times in normal Ranked and with coupon you can get Stalingrad. So it's only fair that with three seasons of Ranked Sprint and a coupon you can get a coal ship. 15k coal and a coupon does buy you a Campbeltown! Almost the same, no? No, but honestly. I didn't expect to get Stalingrad from this mode, but you could at least raise it so we can get Oktyabrskaya Revolutsiya or Yubari? 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also the low value of rewards are again proving that WG wants to reduce the quality of rewards available to casual free players. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WG is excluding parts of the player base with this change. Also, let's face it, not everyone in a clan gets to play in CBs. Not every clan has the manpower to setup several teams. F2P games that offer little incentive to casuals tend to wither and die, because you need a thriving player base to attract paying customers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm viewing it as an extra few thousand coal that I may get for mucking about at T5 for a bit (if there is nothing better to be doing) though - i.e. a freebie. I'm also assuming that T5 Ranked will be much less of a ball-ache than T10; this may be a mistake, of course. Personally, I'm also trying to work out how to play BBs at lower tiers, so if I can do that, and get some extra coal in the process, then yay (but that isn't relevant for most, I imagine). 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If one CV is way stronger than the other one, you will only see players fighting with the stronger CV, especially at low tiers, where everyone can get the carrier in really short time.

I get the feeling WeeGee are just trying to see how many sealcl.... Errm... Rebalancers are in the game The flags are only useful for your next few ranked games, because if it goes the way it did for me this last ranked season I'll be staying at around rank 5. Therefore flags in such tiny quantities are utterly meaningless for me. Ranked battles are stressful, and we're not forced to play, but who can help it with the tedium of the standard grind through the tiers. We need more variety, but the varierty has to be worthwhile. WG are over-valuing their rewards again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[TTTX] Tyrendian89 [TTTX] Players 4,608 posts 8,139 battles Report post #299 Posted October 9, 2018 eh, certainly not gonna play this for the rewards... I'll just give it a try with a friend I guess, see whether it#s fun (I doubt it considering the utterly predictable meta of Kami-Grem-GC everywhere and nothing much being able to compete, but who knows) and let that decide how much I play of this. Which is probably what WG intended - not too much incentive for the veterans to play sealclub the ever-living daylight out of this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
