Think 90% of my games the last year or two have been operations... Repetitive yes but more or less a non toxic chat and I can use all my T-VI and VII without facing double CV.

I am sure you have to sink 2 cv in one operation! :)

Before they nerfed Narai, we were running it with just four high DPM ships and raking in the cash. On the old Dunkirk with 200% bonuses and camos you could make 70,000 FXP in a single run.

2)  nerf hammer

I don't see a problem with that.

As for the Test server i'm finding less and less players on the tester servers

If it wasn't for various bribes, close to nobody would be willing to test all those crap ideas, so even those low numbers are artificially inflated.

I see... the test server must be located upstairs right above the game servers then.

Haunted by the squeaks of all those expiring hamsters

 

Ahem. I know that some folks have experimented with a similar sort of thing in the past, so just now wondering how easy it might be to mock up a rough 'custom Operation' in the training room; we could pick a map, discuss what sort of numbers/tiers/types of enemies would be appropriate and go in with an appropriate team (could even do more or less than the usual seven if we were feeling especially frisky). Would give us a chance to put some of the ideas into practice that @WWDragon mentioned, all of which are definitely on point although I'm entirely unconvinced that Lesta's team has the kind of skills or talent necessary to put them into practice for themselves, unfortunately...

 

We'd be stuck with the regular spawn points and win conditions of course, but still might be worth a go to see how creatively we could apply the different game modes/maps to a more asymmetric style of battle. I especially like @HansRoaming's idea about a Big Race scenario of some kind.

Isn't that exactly what some clans do when they re-enact famous battles? I've seen some vids on the Platform-Where-Sun-Does-Not-Shine.

And WG is still saying there were not enough people playing it. Something doesn't add up...

Well, that's news. WG is not known so to say for being strict adherents to the truth.

(Slightly off topic but the I was thinking on this thread/Ops as I went to work and then this song came on and the modified lyrics just seemed to jump into my head)

 

(Players)

I went to a party at the weekly Operation

All the players were dancing as the countdown timer wailed

But the bots were indiscreet

They were falling at our feet

At the weekly bounce

At the weekly Operation

 

Well the guys were playing

And the XP began to flow

But the stats came over at WarGaming studio

Down in Dev room 49

Having a Nerf party of a time

MrConway got it all from the head of the spreadsheet department

 

(WarGaming)

Load up, load up, load up, the nerf patches

Load up, load up, load up, the nerf patches

 

I love to hear those Ops players squeal, it's a shame we can't remove them for real 

 

But we can't have fun at the weekly Operation

 

(Players)

MrConway and his men made a beeline for the Ops

And for miles around you could hear the player base wail

There's a rumour going round Ops chat

That Narai's going to go

At the weekly bounce

At the weekly Operation

 

(WarGaming)

What 'cha going to do about it?

What 'cha gonna do?

What 'cha going to do about it?

What 'cha gonna do?

 

(Players)

MrConway started typing with a cup of coffee in his hand (coffee in his hand x2)

He was cool, he was clear, he was always in command (always in command x2)

He said - Nerfs will flow, if players, players you don't switch to Randoms now

Trust in me, Spreadsheet says you'll like it see (Holds up spreadsheet with PLAY RANDOM dawdled on it and a smiley face)

 

Well we don't understand why you had to nerf Narai so hard (Narai so hard x2)

When carrying the potatoes in randoms is like lugging around sacks of lard (sacks of lard x2)

We all like modes and games

But some like modes with Brains

At the weekly bounce

At the weekly Operation

 

(WarGaming)

Load up, load up, load up, the nerf patches

Load up, load up, load up, the nerf patches

 

(Players)

Is it really such a crime

For a guy to spend his time

At the weekly bounce

At the weekly Operation

 

(WarGaming)

What 'cha going to do about it?

What 'cha gonna do?

What 'cha going to do about it?

What 'cha gonna do?

Actually the clan did just this before you joined - Allied v Axis. It is fine but although no cost, also no reward - I suppose another scenario would be to have two levels of co-op with a hard level with the bots playing inn hard mode as they did for a short period in the past. That could have better rewards than the present co-op which is simply too easy. I did like the Allied V Axis on the test server but accept that it needed tweaking a bit. Also a scenario with only real ships would be welcome and the much desired real battle operations. I also liked the uneven team split scenario we had a while ago. To give them their due, WG have tried a variety of modes in the past and I am sure will keep doing so. Of course not all will suit all people!
