[TTT] GraySlayer Players 645 posts 5,471 battles Report post #1 Posted September 28, 2019 So I was browsing stats as you do and came across this little gem. WTF!!! Over 6000 battles at T1! I mean what? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtm78 Alpha Tester 19,378 posts 6,105 battles Report post #2 Posted September 28, 2019 I seen worse, like 20k battles at tier I. Also, I don't really think this classifies as stadpadding. I don't think this player is even aware of his/her stats. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mtm78 Alpha Tester 19,378 posts 6,105 battles Report post #4 Posted September 28, 2019 I even heard of someone who didn't understand how the tech tree worked and just kept playing the tier I without ever unlocking something. Idk if that was true btw or just some classical fake tale. I can imagine people staying in tier 3-6 or something for historical / immersion reasons mainly, but tier 1 doesn't offer anything really so people who keep playing that must have other reasons.

[R7S] lovelacebeer Players 4,158 posts 25,226 battles Report post #5 Posted September 28, 2019 Whom ever can play that many battles at tier 1 clearly doesn't get bored easily - and I play this game to an unhealthy degree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[HMSR] Major_Damage225 Beta Tester 2,875 posts 7,295 battles Report post #6 Posted September 28, 2019 Guess this player is happy to put around and pew pew in T1, because stat padding can be understood to a degree but to play that many battles in sutch a tier, im inclined to think that its theyr fun zone there. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[-TPF-] invicta2012 Players 6,382 posts 26,856 battles Report post #7 Posted September 28, 2019 Black Swan, eight kills a game.... maybe that makes them happy. Kiting Tier III BBs around islands in Smith and sinking them one torpedo at a time makes me happy.... 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[FDUSH] Sargento_YO Players 1,476 posts 12,665 battles Report post #8 Posted September 28, 2019 I guess it's just someone who enjoys the tier 1 gameplay. No camping, no dds sitting in smoke screen without fear of being retaliated, no torpedoes, just plain old shelling. 10 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SlightlyOff Players 149 posts Report post #10 Posted September 29, 2019 I imagine Tier 1 is super bad for stat padding, if only because of the wait times in queue. Outside all but the busiest periods, it just takes ages to even just get a game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Floofz ∞ Players 1,246 posts 7,392 battles Report post #12 Posted September 29, 2019 My question is how on earth you manage to do 88k damage in a tier 1 game. Is there even that much hp in the game? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is there even that much hp in the game? No, not in a pure T1 game, not by a long shot -> Black Swan, 6450hp per ship, 12 ships = 77400 in total in enemy team. The only way this would be possible, to get that max dmg, if by taking the ship into a higher tier match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[-TPF-] invicta2012 Players 6,382 posts 26,856 battles Report post #14 Posted September 29, 2019 That was probably pre-nerf Black Swan, and someone divisioning up into Tier II or III. She was ludicrously over gunned for Tier I - Six 4 inch guns firing AP shells (not the practice HE she has these days).... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[ARRSE] cracktrackflak Weekend Tester 947 posts Report post #15 Posted September 29, 2019 These games do attract people with various OCD-type disorders, and who will gain satisfaction by playing thousands and thousands of near-identical games. Look at WoT - there are players who have tens of thousands of games in a single tank. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the beginning, I didn't understand how the port thing/menu worked. And one day and by mistake I went from Eire to Phoenix without playing the t2 or t3. That was worse, because with that I was under the impression that only free XP counted to upgrade from ship to ship. What I found strange is after that I couldn't upgrade any more ships (my free XP was at 0) But then I found the forum. p.s. I think the first time I played St.Loius was in the Halloween event in 2017 or something, a ship called Igor. 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
