The less skill you have the more rewards you get from WG. Soon you will face this game totally at random in the random que, congrats! So every other game will just be a waste of the time, ship, flags and boosters and you have ZERO say in it. Nice right? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[NECRO] MementoMori_6030 [NECRO] Players 6,381 posts Report post #6 Posted February 2 I would be surprised if more than maybe 10% of the participants are actually trying to complete the mission objective. Most players are either to stupid to understand the mission, or are just grinding ships by farming damage with total disregard to victory and objective.

[NWP] 159Hunter Players 4,528 posts Report post #7 Posted February 2 Well, this is a very clear objective (but a small hint WG: maybe add big neon lights to balloon and make the path a stream of flashing lights, you know, just to be sure) and still this playerbase is too dented to play the objective. So what happens is that the few who do play the objective get focused down hard as they get in closer. And once you lose a couple of ships, the enemy gets bolder (as in randoms) and gets closer to finish it, accidentally speeding up the balloon. To sum it up: mode to difficult for playerbase.

[POT80] SurfaceFish [POT80] Players 1,261 posts 11,256 battles Report post #10 Posted February 3 All you have to do is play few Operations to see how few players knows or care about the objectives. So this is not a surprise to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[R7S] lovelacebeer Players 4,158 posts 25,223 battles Report post #11 Posted February 3 Whilst the number of people who don’t understand the objective is depressingly large I can’t say I’m surprised. Plenty of players seem to struggle with the basic concept of shoot the red team in any game mode. Still I’m actually having a lot of fun in this mode, using it to grind out the tier 8 and 9 pan Asian cruisers. Subs are thankfully exceedingly rare so it makes a substantial difference to the whole experience and I can enjoy playing. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[M-P-M] Migantium_Mashum Players 3,146 posts 19,218 battles Report post #12 Posted February 3 I think this mode is brilliant because you have to think and I have some amazing games these last few days. Thankfully I encounter few games where I have had to question the mentality of my team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[NECRO] MementoMori_6030 [NECRO] Players 6,381 posts Report post #13 Posted February 3 You can blame it on WG that a lot of players merely look at "what ship can I play, what class can I evade" rather than at "what is the objective". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[POT80] SurfaceFish [POT80] Players 1,261 posts 11,256 battles Report post #14 Posted February 3 Well, I hope this won't do well enough to come to random. Grinding T8 cruisers without heal playing this mode in a T10 match will be hell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[NORKS] Matt_FSR Players 166 posts 13,451 battles Report post #15 Posted February 3 I'm quite enjoying being able to take out some ships that aren't really "meta" and have some fun with them! It's a shame 90% of the playerbase seems blissfully unaware of what to do, or drives 1 by 1 into the massed guns of the enemy fleet, but hey-ho. Schlieffen is ideal, can print 1M credits per battle in a decent game! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
