Bounties...the bias continues

[CapnGebs]

Now there are extra rewards for sinking ships in random battles that have been marked with bounties. When I say ships... battleships, cruisers and destroyers. Why the heck are carriers and subs excluded from being hunted?

[MarChil]

Besides the fact that this rather, let's put is mildly, stupid thing makes the already wonky quality of WG's prime game mode even worse?

 

We don't want people to hunt the holy and untougheble ones now, do we? They are made to prey on others, like WG likes to prey on players, not being the prey, like WG sees it's playerbase.

 

 

edit: That should be untouchable.

[lafeel]

It's because CV's and subs spend most of the game being impossible to target.

 

News flash: the main role of a bounty player is to get sunk.

Perhaps because it would be pretty foookin easy for them to stay hidden al game? So no real sport or competition there. Also everybody should always hunt CVs.

True. It reminds me of something I was thinking about the other day. I know some people give bad karma to every CV player they encounter which is rather negative. How about a switch up and stop giving negative karma to someone just because they are in a CV but give positive karma to whoever kills the CV :)

Much worse, you need discord to become a bounty, as far as I understand.

Cause people would push like crazy bots to get that CV, which will lead to even bigger blow ups. And despite that the CV will survive anyway. Or just hide behind island. Same with sub though this one is a bit easier to sink if someone's not super unicuum sub player.

So... anyone who does not play CV's and/or sub's has now been outlawed?

Yes, they're being discriminated by WG. I wonder what the Woke community will say about that?

In a nutshell:

CVs and subs are bounties by default, they don't need the icon.

You also need to be selected even if you sign up on discord.

And what's the issue with being in WoWs discord?

That it's extra step out of the game to access some of in game options? Some may even not use discord at all. Because of this in my few games today I had only one. And it was super unicum in a St Vincent BB.

Everyone is already huntings them like they had a 1 million dubloon bounty on their head! :)

That's ok, not everyone can be the weasel...

Discord is a big data company, trying to engage it's users in an involuntary surprise colonoscopy. I don't bend over for facebook or all the others.

So this is the main reason why you're not going to be in a clan?

 Kind of this?I

Some people don't seem to like Discord all that much. I use Discord myself, though, although I'm not a particularly active user, even less so for WoWS because I don't frequent the WoWS channel there preferring the forums instead. I think I prefer this format and layout/structure to Discord which tends to get a little chaotic.

 

Still, I think the first thing I hear every time I boot up my PC is a high key 'disukoodo'.

Teamspeak works perfectly well.

 

Concerning clans, I'm not interested in a clan where I am the best or even comparatively good - I want a clan where I can learn from others. I'm also not really much interested in CW as a hard requirement, as I have quite a schedule (because I've tied myself to a teaching assignment - smart people can be stupid sometimes) and a family, so I'm looking for a high competence fun clan - and I'm not really sure such a thing even exists.

It would probably help if I were actively looking...

[OldSchoolFrankie]

Why do you have to burden the obviously overwhelmed PLayerbase with additional tasks at all? They are already unable to do their job.

Do we really need to explain to you why it would be beyond stupid and frustrating to have a submarine with a bounty on its hull?

As in, a unit with already low detectability that can completely vanish for several minutes? A unit you could pass by directly and not detect it at all? 

 

And carriers, while easier to find, are by design best kept out of direct fighting, so getting to a carrier with a bounty on its hull would more often than not be a futile and frustrating endeavor.

Isn't that the standard "battle starts" message these days?

 

By the way as to the Discord code: It has long been leaked in the forums.
