Current karma system

[Ron_Bacardi]

The current report & karma system totally sucks. All you need is a loud mouthed moron who whines and reports about everything (usually after he is sucking the bottom after rambo'ing some 2 minutes alone). ---> Chat: "Hey lets all report this Kurfurst who is only hiding!!" (not to mention that behind the island there are 6 enemy ships waiting for easy points and to play smart you really need to wait a moment before you move).

 

Allright, so the whiner reports "Kuffe plays poorly" -> karma -1. Maybe someone who doesn't really know the full situation and joins the fun -> karma -2.

Then the Kurfurst player feels like what the hell, you guys serious with these reports. Chat: "Should I play myself like a moron like you guys to make you happy" -> REPORRRT -> chatban 3 days.

 

Does anyone else feel like this whole karma & chat system is retarded? Or is it just my feeling?

 

(Yea, got a chatban recently, don't own a Kurfu atm but might buy one once they are in discount. And then get chatbanned again, propably)

Karma in this game hasn't got any use yet after 5 years

also, you get +1 or -1 as player opinion...

when i play hakuryu (t10 jp cv) i almost always got reported by players who didn't played at all a cv (i checked their profile. and if they did, they would have t4 or t6) and i would end up 3rd-2nd-1st in the leaderboard...

sadly karma is what it is

Stop talking to people in chat.

Stop reading chat.

Install a mod that removes karma displays and report notifications.

 

Enjoy the game.

Do not insult people, then you do not get chat banned.

Playing well gives more compliments than reports (unless you play CV).

common misconception

 

clueless 43% players will not recognize good playstyles and still gonna report you.

No misconception, just a fact.

My Karma increases.

[Ron_Bacardi]

How about change the system. For being able to minus report anyone for play style 'n tactiques, you also need to plus report (compliment) someone. And if your own karma is at zero level, you can no longer minus report anyone until your karma has raised to a point.. letssay +10? +50?

 

Just an idea.

 

..aaand yes, I like to play CV and I know it gives me hard spanking karma-wise. Not that I would miss my goodnight sleep for having a bad karma but why to even have a karma system if it doesn't work better than it does atm?

[RAHJAILARI]

Well, my karma has, on average, increased quite a bit since the beginning. But on the other hand, last week I was reported several time apparently for the cardinal offense of playing with a Neptune (I only presume this because a couple of the darling little nippers had the temerity to put that in game chat - So I am just assuming the rest is the same since they games went quite well for me). Luckily I have now graduated to Mino, lessee if the trend continues.

[CaptainObvious007]

the karma system in it's current form is beyond useless and stupid. just ignore it.

[rage1750]

A small economic bonus for us good boiis that maintain a positive karma would be nice.

There is a mod that removes report notifications? Interesting, if that is true.

That would already rule out 75% of the players, since judging by all the matchmaker monitor screens I've seen everyone below 48% has most likely zero karma.

It really isn't worth worrying about karma it's not as though if you build up loads you get anything for it, we all get those battles where you kill a sensitive soul and they report you, don't worry about it. 

 

However never bother getting into arguements with people in game it's just not worth the effort.

Like anything that gives a bonus I imagine it would be exploited by some players - for instance clans that 'click in' to random battles with multiple divisions where the divisions on opposite teams can give each other complitments.

 

Just remove karma as it does nothing.

Not really. Even if you do good you get reported by those who got killed. There are tons of salty people in this game and not that I really care about karma but I'd say it's 90% reports against 10% compliments and that's from my experience. I got once killed 8 guys with a Yamato and saved the day for my team by turning the tides and still lost 7 karma (9 reports, 2 compliments). So... I disagree.

[triumphgt6]

Karma is pointless so don't worry about it. Except that if you are thoughtful and help your team mates, you will find your Karma goes up. You cannot compliment your division mates, which is quite correct, but play reasonably and avoid insulting others and it will rise. Yes of course some people will report you at times - they probably had a bad day - does this matter; no, of course not, as Karma has no value.

I wonder how my Karma is increasing then...

[Royckbell]

When someone wants to report me I have some types of answers:

 

-Go ahead but don't tell WG they'll mourn my bad behavior.

-A report duel ? Why not ?!

-Don't forget not to use all your reports or you won't be able to do it again on me the next game.

-(the "plz report") That's right, kneel down in front of everyone, beg them!

 

My secret ancestral technique for having Karma (if you care but seriously it's useless) laught in chat about your mistakes, engage a discussion about anything (ex: why the word "short" is longer than "long") and adapt with the mood

Even thats not true, if you play a CV well people still compliment you. Got 4 in one ranked game playing Enty

I think most average players understand teamplay, if you help them, they might compliment you. And playing well certainly helps.

Im currently at 223 Karma, and i do get reported all the time too, but i also get complimented quite often.

It's not their fault, WG couldn't be bothered to add ship identification to the chat.

That's why I keep using a mod that shows me which ship is currently dropping bull in chat.

[Peffers]

I ignore it most of the time.

 

Reporting a CV for solely being a CV should result in a reduction of -2 to the reporter and the change omitted from the relevant patch notes.  That or +1 to the reported with just the regular "thanks for being a muggy community member".
