[HEROZ] GulvkluderGuld Players 3,458 posts 22,090 battles Report post #9 Posted January 12, 2019 I'm really against arms race as it is an unknown game mode for the many who didnt try it. Also, it is unknown if WG has really balanced it. At this point I wouldnt be surprised if winning is entirely dependent on which buffs spawn on your own side of the map which means Ranked is so RNG i might aswell bring my stock tier 9 ships without camo or flags. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

albinbino Players 662 posts 11,080 battles Report post #12 Posted January 12, 2019 Armsrace? Well if true, that is a bad news. So finally when real ranked season should start, after these joke sprint ranks, it will be armsrace mode. Will we ever have normal ranked season again?

Especially BBs. However there will be still those who don't know what to do nor what are they doing. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[PEZ] Yedwy Players 11,057 posts 37,953 battles Report post #17 Posted January 12, 2019 I dont know how much of that season I ll be playing unless you get AR on a roll, meaning you only get to play it now and then same as epicenter for instance, if its AR all the way I ll pass most likely since I m not really a fan od said mode, depends what they give out as a prize though, also on upside - no reworked cvs so maybee i change my decision if randoms become unbearable due to air pleague Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[-OOF-] HNRDecado Players 53 posts Report post #18 Posted January 12, 2019 I actually enjoyed arms race and think ranked got very boring very quickly and amazingly campy with BBs trying to farm damage from the back of the map to save the star, so I’ve never bothered too much with ranked as I hated it and how toxic it got, I’m hoping arms race will add a new element to it and it will be more fun to play, however guess we will have to wait and see 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[SOKRN] BlackFish__ Players 182 posts 15,541 battles Report post #19 Posted January 12, 2019 I regard arms race game mode for ranked as a very bad idea. And yes I concur with the OP I would welcome more front lines like game mode than stupid arcade ones. While WOWS is not a combat simulator it does strike a very nice balance between action and tactics and the more historical flavor it retains the better. Arcade is a very bad direction. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[FAILS] BruceRKF Players 1,039 posts 26,410 battles Report post #21 Posted January 12, 2019 First ranked season since I started playing that I will - deliberately- miss. The game is arcady enough already, I want to retain as much semblance of "believeable" gameplay as possible, so nope to Arms Race. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anonym_DKZABZXaXZld Players 67 posts Report post #22 Posted January 12, 2019 The one thing that makes me hate arms race is that it takes the usual snowball problem you have in randoms and amplifies it times 10. If they want to make a new game mode that is even more arcady, maybe they should use that freedom to include a rubberband effect, not the opposite... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[-PTA-] PoppyGalaxy Players 14 posts 11,580 battles Report post #25 Posted January 12, 2019 If you didn't like arms race then this clearly isn't for you. I think it's a good idea and ads some more variety, guess they should have just called it something else then ranked so people wouldn't be as upset. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
