I understand, i just recently uninstalled because i was getting very stressed out over playing.

ill come back later but for now i cba with warships atm.

 

Also just missed a bloody event for mechwarrior. The only thing you can do is take a break or just drop the game entirely (i did this with world of tanks).

 

Good luck!

Well, if you had fun with this games for a while, then there is nothing to regret? Then the game had it's value. Also it's not a loss, if you don't play the game for a while. I didn't played World of Warcraft for a long time, so my invested time in the characters are also "for nothing". But I had fun, so it was worth it.

Don't play at weekends or when the kiddies are online, reinvigorate yourself with a new and more positive user name, and open your stats up, being transparent is an incentive to do better and be honest with yourself.

I'm in a similar place.

I'm not burned out or in rage or in frustration, I Just played very intensive this last two month.

What i'll do now is play Crossout, maybe World of Warplanes, see a movie, take a nap

before get back to my new usual casual play in WoWs

Take a break, I'm having one of those weeks were it's not even worth playing every battle is a defeat, and not even a fun defeat against the odds it's just constant rage and stupidity.

 

 3/4 of the games I have are either the CV going AFK or deliberately team killing our DDs because a DD killed him last game, or someone else on the team going AFK because we are in a CV match usually the persons in the top tier ships.

 

Its for this reason I will probably sit out the rest of this patch and probably come back for the next one if I feel like trying the dockyard and even then I might just sit out WOWS for a month or so.

 

Remember it's just a game not a moody side girl or mistress we can ignore the game when it's not being fun.

Exactly. With a game taking a break is the best and even a safe option to take.

Take a break, join up in some chat-thingy and git gud. 

I could show you a few tricks that helped me. 

The chuckle and hilariousness of it all is really funny. 

 

I know you have carriers... get some rest, then join up!

Just don't take it into such level. You don't breathe this game (yeah I'm telling you that, a guy with almost 30k battles xD)

If it irritates you take some break . I did that on summer months and was good decision. Find something else to do on the next days and that's it. Idk if you play ranked, maybe because of that you're upset.

Never understood what's the point of uninstalling... to free up disk space?

 

Just don't make a thread in the future that clean install takes too much time ;)

 

Anyway ... I have reduced my gameplay to mostly ops and coop (just gathering daily coal) and I am fine with that.

I still enjoy the game, but the CV frustration spoils it for me now. My yearly premium runs out in the next couple of months,  and I'm not renewing until something is done with CVs (so not expecting to ever get a premium account again!). I'll probably still play - but casually.

Yay, so many posts written over a bad drama case. And here's me jumping on this bandwagon as well, as if I don't know any better :fish_palm:

 

I seriously wonder whose joyful mistake was to call our species "homo sapiens" :Smile_trollface:

 

Seriously though: WoWS is a free-to-install, free-to-play game... there's no obligation to play it if all you get is frustration.

I play games to have fun, and for no other purpose. Whenever the game frustrates the hell out of me or I start feeling like playing it is a thankless chore... I stop playing it. I am certainly not losing anything while I am not playing, so what is the point? Like, I am getting paid for this or what?

Sure, losing matches can be frustrating... but then, hey, it's just a game, you're not taking any real life losses by losing matches in a MMO game. Well, maybe apart from your personal time and a bit of your self-esteem. Can't take the bullet? Keep away from fighting. Heal your wounds, grow battle-hungry again, return to the fray when you're back in good shape. On the digital battlefields there always will be war.  Because war... war never changes.

That's all good and well, and in principle I agree, however.. your account has 34 battles. It's kind of easy to preach about relaxing and having fun and taking breaks when not, when the player base hasn't had time to turn you into a mad man..

 

This weekend was particularly dire. Lots of plebs bought those black friday containers, so every game I get a disabled GZ black in my team that has to be told sailing straight into an advancing enemy flank consisting of 3 bb's, 2 ca's and a dd is a bad idea, and ofc by the time he notices your warnings and starts turning he's already spotted and dies. Cuz muh secondaries, I can totally solo all those ships with muh battelcarrier me so smart amirite.. Weekends are generally bad, this one's potato levels were a whole new category of insanity. A cat walking on your keyboard while your dog is chewing the mouse would produce better and more thought out gameplay. With christmas patch around the corner, it's not going to get better either.. I had a Lenin game yesterday where I had confederate, high caliber, kraken, and 6 kills. Still defeat. Literally killing half the enemy team (1 DD, 1 CV, 2 BB's and a Chapayev removed from the game) wasn't enough of an edge for the rest of my team to make it a win - they literally contributed nothing. I probably had more base xp on that defeat than most of those speshuls ever had on a win, the way they play. An average human that has never seen or heard of this game in his life and someone made them play should do better than these people.

 

So I'm expecting a few more of these "I quit" threads...

I see your point, but still... isn't it easier to just wait out such "mad sheep runs" than to lose your religion over them? You know, every "special deal" such as the Black Friday sale will see a flock of wallet warriors with their "oooo shiny lemme take my newly purchased toy for a ride and everyone else be damned" attitude. That's normal for any "freemium" game. If you can't stand playing with them, just let them have at each other until they run out of steam, then come back to your regular gaming happiness.

Your post seems to me as if you were concerned with winning more than just having fun... you sound like being defeated constituted a bad game. You know... killing 6 ships all by yourself is epic no matter if you win or lose. Even if the match technically was a defeat, you still perform well and that's something no one can take away from you. You remark I am a fresh player - that's true, and I am probably just as guilty of "non-contribution" as some of those players you encountered. Just let us learn the ropes instead of letting us ruin your game experience.

OK, I know: losing means you don't get as much loot as you'd get by winning. But then: if you're playing to earn credits/XP/whatever, you're already one league behind the wallet warriors: they can always buy more of what you'll earn, and they will suffer less frustration in the process. So... what's the point of letting them spoil the game for you? You can always team up with a few able squadmates and wipe the decks with the wallet warriors. Guaranteed wins, guaranteed spoils and guaranteed good, cruel fun :Smile_trollface:

Even a unicum 3 man division can only affect so much. A lot of teams these days just melt extremely fast. Must use that back turret right? Let's give broadside to that Kremlin, that'll show him.. those kinds of people. Then it's literally 3 vs 12. A unicum division will make the win harder for the enemy under such circumstances, but unless the enemy is completely braindead as well actually turning it into a win will be hard. You need at least a few more semi competent team mates that don't all instantly die if you're going to carry.

 

As for the rest, yes, I do like to win, I think it's preferable to losing. And yes, I know I should stop when the MM keeps giving me uncarriable teams. That's all good and well in theory, and yes - I played well and even had fun on some of those, especially the 6 kill Lenin game. It'd be better if it was a win, though, and the frustrating part is - it could have very easily been, if my team mates just did anything other than get deleted. Like, if 4 of them knew about angling and how spotting works we would have won. None of them did. I can't help but be annoyed at that.

 

Here's the classic example of reasoning fail by a 46%-er, this time in a z52: he tries to chase down a Daring. Naturally, Daring finds this adorable and starts melting him. Z tries to run, turns away, he's about 8km from the Daring now and nobody else is spotting him, so I'm telling him to stop shooting and go dark. He, of course, keeps shooting and dies instead, then says "I was spotted by the Daring anyway". Yes, because you kept shooting. You should understand how gun bloom works after 6k battles. You should also understand to not try to solo a full HP Daring in a Z52, especially if your smoke is on cooldown.. This is why they fail - they don't bother to learn the basic mechanics and thus can't make good decisions.
