[KOKOS] DanSilverwing Players 1,193 posts 19,517 battles Report post #3 Posted December 29, 2019 No saltiness in chat, no spite reporting, no worrying about how the other flank is doing. Just an F10 in All when the match starts and maybe a compliment to the other person afterwards... man, I'd just play it all the time. Well, could maybe try different tiers at least for variety. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[FBC] Logan_MountStuart Players 416 posts 10,715 battles Report post #13 Posted December 29, 2019 Reduce the XP and the credits so people can't use it to grind and leave it in the game, it teaches you ways to play that you wouldn't otherwise come across. And in 35 games so far, no disconnects on either side, I'd love an easy win if it's on offer! lol 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After a week or two it would follow the trajectory of every solo PVP game mode ever : the zone of the uber try hard with the designated PVP build. WG could, of course, get plenty of £££ by milking that kind of player hard with new Premium releases, captains, etc, because this are the only things which change the PVP meta once set, and anything which does that becomes a must have. We probably don't want to encourage that. 9 minutes ago, Logan_MountStuart said: it teaches you ways to play that you wouldn't otherwise come across. It teaches you ways to play which used to be pretty commonplace before radar and CV permaspotting. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh yes I’d love to see this mode for different tiers. I also enjoyed the friendliness during this ranked, lots of players said nice things rather than the typical toxicity. Joined one random battle today and naturally chat was one big cesspit with people calling our dd a noob and other insults, such a contrast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Admiral Hipper, 12 point captain, 60% win rate it's just different. Some people need to try enjoying the game at times instead of finding issues to moan about when there are plenty of other obvious things to trigger the community. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Except for Baltimore who had a 4 pointer.

But now that I'm rank1 I can no longer participate. It's a fantastic gamemode to train personal skill against mostly equal opponents. Its fun yes but if you really want something like it, it probably should be either 3v3 or 4v4. But then there is one major problem regarding load times. While I could see this mode bloom for a while 2/3 ish months. After that, if it's not as a gaint flop as Arena Wars in GTA5O was, it will have about 100 - 200 ish people playing it constantly. But the other people would be waiting for a match up. IF it ends up like Arena Wars get yourself a Netflix account cause that players queued won't raise higher than 5 when the other 8 people are still in battle.

Same here, was reported many times, yes I took a CV too, wanted to see if it was as broken as I thought. Nowhere near as good a CV captain as some here, managed to lose some games, all due to my incompetence though. I was reported many times, even had 3 wins where the BB player went afk saying "welcome to your free star", same 3 reported me, bloody children TB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[FDUSH] Sargento_YO Players 1,476 posts 12,665 battles Report post #24 Posted December 30, 2019 I had alot of fun too. I played almost all my battles with my Cleveland (secondary build). The ships that truly frustrated me were playing against the Kii and more importantly, Tirpitz. Heck, I managed to beat a Massachusetts, a Richelieu and almost... ALMOST (was 2K short) a Bismark. I found a couple of cvs too. Specially Graff zeppelins. The first time I got my a$$ handed to me, so I just learnt to cap and move away from the zone and win by points. Once I meet an Atago B which launched all four torpedo groups to me and I managed to evade them all (max rudder shift mods). The guy told me "nice hacks" (Hydro can be considered a hack??) and I told him "Yeah, the most awesome hack of all; WASD!!" In the end he reported me -_- (I'm pretty sure he would have reported me for no reason anyways) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davy1972 Players 55 posts 6,826 battles Report post #25 Posted December 30, 2019 For me 1 vs 1 can be a permanent mode. But with some adjustments: each week another tier (also low level tiers), each battle against the same ship class (DD vs DD …) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
