WG please stop putting the kill ribbon tasks in directives!

[Yedwy]

Like really the amount of kill stealing thats going on is ridiculous, like literally the only way to do this is go to coop with a DD and yolorush to kill with torps or your kill is going to be stolen by the as** behind you, maybe he even damages you in return as well

[Purnylla]

I think the Destroyed ribbons should be removed as a whole. There's no point in rewarding taking away the last 1 hitpoint of a ship more than any of the previous hitpoints. Taking away hitpoints from the enemy is always valuable, no matter if it's the last hitpoint or not.

 

Destroyed ribbons only brings out the worst in people, and says nothing about skill or teamwork.

According to your Stats:

Last 7 Days: 158 Battles with 0.64 kills average.

Means: 101 kills total.

 

Your all Battle average is 0.71 kills.

So for 158 Battles that would be 112.

 

 

You have been "robbed" of 11 Kills over 158 Battles.

Wow.... so much killstealing.

 

Thats not even outside of normal variarion.

 

[ColonelPete]

There is no kill stealing in this game.

 

And when you want your team to ignore low health targets and let them get away, then good luck with winning matches.

always humourous you are

 

sure there is kill stealing, and there is also kill stealing with nasty consequences

 

playing Scharnhorst, approaching a sinop which just shot his salvo, there is that kagero 1 km behind me letting loose all his torps against sinop, with me at 60% health in between... I died, sinop lived...

 

or there is that BB battling a cruiser which is just 7 Km from him, but instead turning his turrets to shoot 20 Km on the low HP cruiser I was going to gore with my DD...

MHM and tell me again when did the new directive start? 7 days ago? Or maybe today?

It may just be a minority, but I do get the feeling some people are delaying their shots on purpose, waiting for a ally to burn away all the hp, only to take the kill.

 

I agree that letting an enemy escape is silly. Secure the kill, I don't care who gets the ribbon.

 

Doesn't change the fact these ribbons are bringing out the worst in some people, and these ribbon are pointless to indicate any sort of skill or teamwork.

The number of Operations I've seen thrown because of kill-securing mania is very high. Focus fire is not always a good thing, especially when the mission is to protect an area from a number of ships. Co-op games are always more fun,too, when there's no directive based feeding frenzy going on.

I dont care about them either unless there is the f* mission task to collect them, its not fun to play 100 battles to collect a dozen ribbons

Meh, as a coop player I'm pretty sure I can get enough kills in a week time. I'm just focusing on the missions that require a specific ship type/nation. I'll get the kills along the way. The kills mission won't be the last of the 7 missions I need to complete the directive.

Then how do you steal a kill from someone?

 

How is friendly fire kill stealing?

The BB was taking out a low health target. How can the player predict the future and know that you would take care of it? You could have missed. I have seen too many targets get away since players do not shoot low health targets.

 

When I cripple targets, I announce focus fire on these targets to get them sunk quickly. Often enough I am the one has to take care of the targets, since too many ignore such targets, giving the targets enough time to dish out more damage. And sometimes I cannot finish them, since they go dark before I reload, which is extremly dangerous with DD and any ship with heal.

 

I have seen a video where a BB player messed up and came under focus fire the first two minutes of the game. He was shot by multiple enemies and barely managed to get out of there with around 700 HP, while he himself did under 10k damage.

But since he was still floating, he healed up and ended the game with a Kraken and over 180k damage. Had only ONE player, who was not shooting at him at the beginning, shot at him, then this would have probably secured their teams win. But since they ignored the target, they lost.

The ones you can do in operations is easy done in Narai now that is available. You get on average 5-10 kills per game.

 This is something that needs addressing as well. Not long ago, I had a friendly shoot at me intentionally because I went for the kill  they were too slow to keep up with. In Co-op, you have a higher chance of being killed by a salty live-teammate than a bot.

Alas these are not doable in ops it seems, but good point I might go give my lolanta  a walk for the basexp part

Fires can be efficient at taking away the last hp too. I've been scoring quite a few of destroyed ribbons unexpectedly. Especially with ships like Atlanta which can pump out a lot of shells.

 

Secondary batteries can do the trick too. I'm enjoying the Scharnhorst, good secondaries, good reload and torps, so plenty of ways to score some kills.

Well, there you go. There's one example... of Whataboutery at its finest.

[belalugosisdead]

Untill someone is not dead, everybody is able and has the right to shoot him. "Killsteal" would mean, you have the "right" to kill him and all the others does not have the right.You have put a reservation sign of him or what? Every CW player knows, how important it is to kill low life targets. Before they can disengage, heal themselfes up or simply get another shot out, that do damage to you and your teammate.

I suggest you look that up.

[piet11111]

Considering how easily wg could just put an x amount of hits or damage mission in place of x amount of kills i would be all for doing so.

 

Those missions are frustrating while they do not need to be.

[Excavatus]

This is a team game.. 

There is no such thing called as kill stealing. 

Kill is a kill.. one less enemy is a one less enemy. 

 

What gives you right to have that kill? doing most of the damage? NO.. 

Because that enemy infilicted most damage to you? NO.. 

 

No kill belongs to anyone... 

I just hope people someday will learn this is a teamgame.. and only important thing is a win... and what you do to contribute to that..

If you refer to a Directive that started today your claim is even worse.

There is no way you had enough battles today to see a trend in "killstealing" over the last Weeks when there were other Directives with "destroyed" prequsites.

 

I Don't know what Directive started today but the Directives 1; 3; 4; 5 and 6 contain such Missions.

But the Problem started Today?

 

Could you make up your Mind about what the Problem is exactly?

After That we can adress if my calculation was correct or not.

Or if your complaint is just whining...

I wish there was more kill stealing on my team. Too many low HP ships are left undead
