As a non-WoT player, what's frontline and how does ranked work in that game?

frontline was and  it still is a 30vs30 mode in wot. there are defenders who have to defend 3 heavy gun placements util time runs out. the map is wide and open, you can respawn with different vehicles on 3 different sectors. this mode required only tier 8s no t6,7,9 or t10 just t8s. this mode was joy to play, you had a lot of fun it it and you also could make a huge amount of credits. if you want to know more check some videos about it you will not be disapointed. 

and ranked was a 15vs15 mode, only t10s being able to play it but this will probably change in the future. the first three guys on the victory team ears 3 stars, the next 4-10 guys receive 1,and the last 5 dont receive anything. meanwhile on the enemy team the first one gets a star, then 2-5 dont lose a star,and the rest 6-15 lose a star. there where a total of 15 ranks and ranks 5,10,13 granted temporary shields letting you keep your rank even if you ended up on the losing team.

ranked 5 allowed 3 losses, rank 10 2 losses and rank 13 1 losses. Personally i think this system would work much better here in wows.

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.

or they could have gave us a mode similar to frontline from wot, and not this super arcade mess that gives ships stupid buffs. i mean kitakaze gets a concealment buff and rate of fire one how fun would it be for the enemy to face him? not much

Oh, right. That was frontline. Jangles made one or two vids about it. Could be interesting in WoWs.

 

Ranked being full-team would be fine. Stars depending on xp would not. The game has enough problems with players damage farming and not playing to win as it is. It should be that if you win you get a star, if you lose you lose a star. Except if you win and get 0 xp, then you get nothing.

WG is trying to implement new modes to keep the game interesting for a broad Audience. It is clear that they will not make everyone happy but whoever tried that so far has failed miserably. They will implement it, look at the overall numbers and if those point in a direction they like then they will keep it.

 

Sorry but unless you belong to said "big number" you are out of luck. Try to understand that WG cannot work like a wishing well.

I dont understand why the new ranked season has to feature such a stupid mode as the Armsrace? It adds another layer of complexity that players have to worry about in order to win!!

 

Why not keep it vanilla and use the normal game modes? 

 

When I played Armsrace mode, I didnt like it at all. I found it underwhelming to play and frankly unrealistic for a combat simulator such as WOWS it a stupid mode.....

Best mode ever for the higher tiers. No more bowcamping, sitting at spawn sniping at max range or borderhumping practices. You actually have to MOVE. And adapt of course

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 

Exactly this, it will force players to actually participate in the battle going on. Instead of being to afraid to lose a star....

[Verblonde]

I'll be happy to at least give AR Ranked a try, especially since the alternative is (quite likely) the utter shambles that I fear the opening weeks/months of the new CVs will be.

Exactly!

 

Plus I will be able to finally grind my T9 ships with a nice fresh breeze.

Being one of those that dislike ranked, this finally could bring some "joy" playing the mode.

 

But .... the cpt. skill reset worries me .... I feel I wont be able to respec with ease this time, since lots of the rework is still unknown or still "hangs in the air".

If they're sensible, they would set respec to free and leave it as free while they sort out the balance, or at least the bulk of it

It worries me that they will just reset the skills to 0 and allow only 1 respec for free.

[PassTheSalt]

I'm all for it, love that WG keep mixing it up, variety is a good thing.

[morgoroth]

ARMSRACE ... let's shuffle a little .... MASACRRE ... a bit misspelled but I hope it won't be that bad :)

 

And WG pls don't allow the reworked CVs at least not yet (I can't believe I am asking for this...)

[Miessa3]

I like the Idea of Tier IX only Ranked with Armsrace as gamemode.

I must admit though i am very biased because that mode favours the class i like most. (and I haven't gotten to cheese a Ranked season with my USS Black yet that I earned the hard way with 5 Rank 1 seasons )

Tier VI would be even better.  (no radar)

No more hiding in Ranked once you reach Rank 1 though.

Hint: The OP main class is least favoured in arms race.

Figured as much. Didn't even bother to look.

[Strapps]

I haven't played much ranked, haven't played Arms Race at all and don't play many higher tier ships. So I'm sure I'll get a warm welcome from my team in each ranked battle until I finally can't take it any more and run away to play Tanks again.

Stupid mode is stupid regardless of class

You should be safe on this front: as far as I know, the new CVs are only being produced in even-tiers i.e. there are no T9 CVs...

 

This is one reason why the new Ranked is attractive if one is concerned about the rework.

you asume they will. But they will not.

This will only give the team with the least amount of snipers a snowball effect.

so basicly this will be even more dependent on in witch team u spawn.

True forgot about this one...

If you live near a Tesco, go to the American aisle. It's a bit insulting they carry nothing but junk, but they have Goober there (peanut butter and jelly in a jar together). Greatest thing ever.
