This game needs a mode where capping isn't an option, and only the team with a ship standing will win. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And you would be happy with even more draws as the lone enemy DD stays out of sight of your 4 lumbering BB's and just lets the clock run out? That's what the capture zone is there for, to stop scenario's like that happening 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vogel Alpha Tester 2,062 posts 4,171 battles Report post #5 Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) So many draws due to "no cap, kill all" mentality... I had a game in my Minekaze with 100k torp damage. We would have won, if not for a single CA that decided that capping were for wussies. He/she drove out of the cap circle and gave the victory away to the enemy.

Grimhildir Players 1 post 432 battles Report post #9 Posted July 28, 2015 I'd quickly start ignoring this guy. Looking at his posting history on the WoT forums, all he does is whine. On: the point of the game is winning. One method to do that is capping. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Their tunnel vision approach might have been something new had I not already seen it a million times in WOT already. Take the hint Acheron stay playing in WOT, post your selfish drivel on that website and leave World of Warships to the ADULTS with brains to play.

[CTT] dforce105 Players 93 posts 25,949 battles Report post #13 Posted July 29, 2015 Capping is fine if your running out of options. I'm guessing what the OP is talking about is someone capping less than 5 minutes in to the game. I've had this happen so many times where I was lucky if I managed to rack up any XP points before the battle ended. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing what the OP is talking about is someone capping less than 5 minutes in to the game. I've had this happen so many times where I was lucky if I managed to rack up any XP points before the battle ended. I understand the point you're making (have played a few similar games) but it's not the capping that cause the game to end early in those cases. There just isn't enough time to get to cap point, cap it and earn enough points (talking domination here) to finish the game. The reason they end is because one team ate the other in the lemming train, it is the only way one team can rack up enough points to win it that fast. Essentially one team was much stronger in the early engagement and killed enough ships to rack up points while losing few or no ships of their own. In the other game modes, if one team manages to cap that early it is because no one on your team decided that it was worth it to actually defend the cap point and in that case the loss is deserved.

[MIMI] MudMonkey Beta Tester 1,338 posts 8,375 battles Report post #17 Posted July 29, 2015 Hey OP, I counter your topic with: So many games ruined by losing. You know, not everybody is able to get the last kill and the last bit of damage out of the game. Reasons for that are obvious, I guess. Why would you deny them the cap xp? You call them selfish? I call you selfish if you expect them to enable you to get more xp while they sit still and watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[POP] YukiEiriKun [POP] Beta Tester 1,500 posts 5,749 battles Report post #18 Posted July 29, 2015 "Far too many draws" "So many games ruined by capping" Funny that these two threads are back to back at the moment. Cap ahoy I say. But if you don't, then do not come back here crying that you have too many draws when you fail to get that last enemy. This is not WoT, capping and challenging caps is far more important. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[ICI] BDubzZz86 Beta Tester 222 posts 3,622 battles Report post #19 Posted July 29, 2015 Yeah, this is what I meant. The derps didn't realise it. I'm sure "the derps" realized this but the way you posted your statement: ..This game needs a mode where capping isn't an option, and only the team with a ship standing will win. We'll call this mode "The Draw Only" battles... I'll just say the following: If capping is sure to result in victory, even if your team says not to cap, you should still cap. If capping is not certain to result in victory you shouldn't cap, even if your team tells you to. A win's a win...how you get the win is really up to you and your team. There are now too many random battles and as previously stated by WG staff here on the forums they are working on implementing a different game mode (sort of like in WoT) where you can play 5v5 or 7v7. I'm sure in these game modes games will be way more dominated because you're working together in a team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with that. Ships are not meant to conquer areas, ships are built to sink enemy's ships. In World of Tanks it makes sense, in the sea not at all.

In World of Tanks it makes sense, in the sea not at all. I can understand the desire for such a mode but how it would work in reality, well its anyones guess. My guess would be that you would end up with several BBs on both teams sitting at opposite borders throwing hopeful salvos at each other, a game could take days or if time limited result in continuous draws.

Tanks are made to obtain controll over an area.I can imagine you at the WoT forums screaming how capping has nothing to do with tank warfare.

[NIKE] Xevious_Red Beta Tester 3,412 posts 7,888 battles Report post #25 Posted July 29, 2015 If your team gets capped in the first 5 mins your team (and you) have failed hard. For this to happen you need to sail away from base as fast as possible, leave a huge gap/flank undefended, and ignore the large red bar on screen. On encounter mode they can get to the cap faster, but it takes longer to capture. If your own team does it its a bit annoying but a win is a win, the enemy team obviously are oblivious. A "kill all" game simply wouldn't work - you can find the last ship if there are lots of you left. Good luck if there's only 2 of you trying to find a DD/CA that doesn't want to be found, especially on larger maps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
