[IFS] UnderDuress Players 191 posts 10,109 battles Report post #27 Posted April 30, 2020 45 minutes ago, Yedwy said: You cant? Ok how about because belive it or not ships are (well such as it is) balanced against each other in their stats and that means (for any of them) around them NOT having permanent healing or for some even no healing at all (most DDs for instance) and suddenly they do have it, consequently other ships that actually gave up something to have that heal (limited by number of charges and percentage of healing) face off against those that should not have this ability and have significant advantage as a reason AND thats even without going into the part where buffs heal ALL damage (including citadel) indefinetly (that means up to 100% of it) only limiting factor being the speed (number of buffs) and time remaining in match... Same principle applies to gun reload or speed or whatnot albeit with less detrimental effects I don’t see those as major problems in a team game, you have same same access to buffs as the other team. And like I said it mostly rewards good map control and punishes camping teams, which is good in my book. Overall balance might need tweaking but generally I thinks it makes for more interesting games and decisions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[4PHUN] Aixin Players 1,084 posts 7,396 battles Report post #28 Posted April 30, 2020 It feels like a random battle tbh nothing really special. And as it feels like a random battle I don't really want to play them. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And the bolded part, it wasn't a normal match now was it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[MMI-A] Nufessa Players 88 posts Report post #35 Posted April 30, 2020 At least in random you still have a little possibility to carry the team. This mode + 12 vs 12 teams is like the ultimate step to destroy every single possibility to carry. First time that i will not play ranked sprint, because this is trash and i'm not interested in playing a campy style roulette mode 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[OGHF2] Hugh_Ruka Players 4,054 posts 5,642 battles Report post #36 Posted April 30, 2020 Tried a few games in Grozovoi, I do actually like it. The way the objectives work dynamically is much more interesting than Domination. At least for DDs. Have not played Arms race before, but I think it is a very nice format. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[D-P] Vivi_Ornitier Players 180 posts 4,613 battles Report post #37 Posted April 30, 2020 I enjoyed it more than normal randoms. People were camping at 20km a bit less. Rank 1 already so I won't play more, but I barely play randoms aswell. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[-URK-] wot_2016_gunner Players 2,588 posts 6,830 battles Report post #38 Posted April 30, 2020 I mean, i like the game mode too. I tended to play i somewhat like epicenter; not going too far out (at least, up where there were some "buffs"), because i knew that there was going to be a cap at some point in the match; so that i could contest it. Still tho, the problems that this ranked season has are the same the randoms has, primary of which being that the quality of the playerbase is just below 0 at times; it's not as bad as in Randoms, but sometimes it happenes (not to quote Smolesnk, exc.). I only played Georgia, she's not my only Tier 9, but for a Tier 9 BB is the best pick imo (also because i have no Tier 10s). I've played 16 battels and i have reached Rank 5, but i don't think i'll play more of it, because besides the one victory that made me reach Rank 5, in all today, i couldn't move from rank 5. It's just so toxic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anonym_Q28oK2IubRbe Players 211 posts Report post #39 Posted April 30, 2020 I don't mind arcade but at the moment it feels like your win is left to chance, worse than in random matches.

The first 2 seasons, i checked team lineups, and 8 out of 10 games all the worst players were on my team, while enemies had mostly the "average" guys. There is no way you can win those, when 4 (back when it was 6v6) of your ships die before you can kill one enemy, because they know angling and doging, and your players show constant broadside becaue "i pley for phun" I mean the 3rd game today (last one i planned on playing anyway) we had 3 ships dead before the 4 minute mark, thats 1 of each BB/DD/CA. In that gamemode, its basicly GG, with the healbuffs, you cant outtrade them anymore, as long as they dont yolo in. But half of the rest of my team still yoloed into the enemies Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's my observation for the high tier games in the last month or two.... Because of the EU campaign missions there are a lot of DDs out there who normally don't play DDs, and get killed promptly. This makes the outcome much more random. What you can do is to sail a DD yourself, or to sail a DD hunter, or to load HE for the first 2-3 salvos in any ships. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dunno, I experience less camping, much less in fact. Players seem to feel more urge to support DDs in taking buffs than taking caps. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[-TFD-] Furius_Marius Players 268 posts 12,333 battles Report post #48 Posted May 1, 2020 This is how its works. You win one, you lose, win one, you lose one, You win one, you lose, win one, you lose one. You win one, you lose, win one, you lose one. Then I manage somehow to get one win left for the rank one. I did great in that battle. Killing 2 tier X BBs and 1 Tier X destroyer. We have 7 ships and enemy have 3. But.... All our fast ships. Decide not to cap. And run away. And a single enemy ship manage to win the battle by caping. Then you lose 2 battles or 3. And start again at rank 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
