Clan Battles: “Neighbors” Season

[The_EURL_Guy]

Prep your guns and haul your ammunition aboard! A quick look at an updated set of rules for the forthcoming Sixth Season of Clan Battles.

Read it on the portal

I have a question: on the hotspot map you wrote "Ship spawning points are now located opposite key area C.".
Leaving aside that the sentence is clearly incomplete, but in the map the caps have been swapped too, not only the spawn position. Is the image correct?

[300ConfirmedKills]

I'm glad we have a major non-TX event. I'm surprised it's Clan Battles, but at least it's a start.

[Episparh]

Finally some variety... And CB is way more accessible - less players in division, you can get T8 for 

 

... Fun times are coming. 

 

[stoev2606]

More accessible? Are you delusional tier 8 is the most unbalanced tier in terms of the premium ships..

Kutuzow a litteral monster which you cant buy

Atago insanely strong and one of the few cruisers with heal

Cossack Kidd are insanely strong

I want to see what fun high level games will be when both teams have 2-3 kutuzows per side spamming eachother

I think this season is looking to be a total disaster

 

[konean]

Time investment is pretty much the same (depending on the size of teams it can even mean you need more games to get rewards for all members in the clan) but since its T8 and  6vs6 well ... you cant have that much steel like before. Thank you WG. 

 

Also soon complains that people dont have access to Kutusov anymore. 

[ColonelPete]

Kutuzows are no problem. They are too static.

[Aotearas]

Can't wait for the clan wars premium bundles ...

When we played the 1 day clan brawl, the kutuzovs did not pose big problems neither did atagos and we havent met a kidd in the few games we played. It is not balanced as t10 but I wouldnt say its the most unbalanced tier tbh.

 

Mogami 155 is a great alternative to the atago and charlies work well as something similiar to henris. Im glad they changed it up a bit, t10 was getting bored after 5 seasons :D

[Zen71_sniper]

Opinions on ships?

 

My take on it:

 

BB: Amagi, North Carolina, Masa

CA: Chapayev, Atago, Charles. Cleveland or Baltimore?

DD: Cossack, Kidd (Kagero? Harekaze?)

BB: Amagi, North Carolina, Vlad

CA: Atago, Mogami 155, Charles, Baltimore(10km radar and super heavy ap)

DD: Lo yang(hydro), cossack, lightning

 

Just my 2 cents, most likely there are better combinations and strateiges for the announced maps.

[SamPulley]

I'm disgusted. The most competitive games in wow must be with highest level ships.

...I am not english. So can you tell me how is that sentence incomplete??

And tell me the overal sense of this pile of words, that at least, are punctuated...

thank you, I try to learn.

[powerverde]

I really don't understand why the spwan change in that map. Campers will still have lots of place to camp, and sailing at large to get other cap is still necessary.

I'd really get an explanation like "we changed it so that it would be different" rather than engaging [edited].

CBs and ranked at the same time? WG, please change your mind, this is terrible.

They don't start exactly at the same time but we will pass your feedback regarding this further. 

[FreakinBiber]

You also state there will be free re-distribution of captain skills. Does this include re-training on different ships?

 

(Because of ranked sprint, the previous ranked season and clan battles most captains are on T7 or T10 by now).

As both new events run in parallel we need to equip/re-train on T8 and T9 - re-distribution of skills is minor compared to this...

 

@WG_Lumberjack

 

Thanks so much for clarification.

Sorry but unfortunately we don't plan to include free re-training.
 

[VanD4rk]

Is there any chance there will be at least some T10 "brawls" sessions between the days of the T8 clan battle days ? For me this T8 CB season is not so intriguing especially since there is not free captain re-distribution.

[Grimwill]

Why are clan battles and ranked battles scheduled to overlap?!

Because Ranked is the prep school for Clan Battles, silly!

 

It exists to teach players the basics of competitive play.

 

That's why it is exactly the way it is.

 

Once you're ready to play Clan Battles, there is no need to play Ranked battles any more!

 

 

But for something completely different:

 

So no Rentals this time for Clan Battles?

[RevelAndQuaff]

In the official new release, I see no mention of rental ships for this season of clan battles.

Can someone confirm if T8 rentals will be available?

At what time can you redistribute your Commanders’ skills for free ?

I play on the EU server.

After you played one Clan battle match, presumably. At least that's how it was in all the previous seasons.

[CruisingForMermaids]

When does Commander skills re-spec start please?
