Akula971 Beta Tester 1,059 posts 14,810 battles Report post #28 Posted September 17, 2015 First ranked battle game: AAA Cruisers Atlanta's buggered off and left me in my Warspite, and IJN BB alone, result we got plastered by enemy DD, and CV, down to very low HP, but since we had capped all three points we won on points with only 3 ships sunk per side. One Gold Star Second ranked battle game. Took out the Mutsuki, took two cap points. Team stayed together, but too far away from cap points, ememy put a cruiser on each cap, team sat at back of the map, no agression, we lost again on points. Lost gold star. Two games, very quick, both with minimal ships sunk, both lost or won on points. The points system is no good. It is over too quick. Gold stars should be awarded to top 2-3 of each team for damage done, regardless of loss or victory, otherwise its just a short normal battle with progression stars aquired through random chance. It does not sort the good from the bad at all. Another epic fail for Wargaming, who do not understand what the customer wants. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gronaAnkan Players 75 posts 4,014 battles Report post #33 Posted September 17, 2015 I've been taking out the Farragut, and so far, it's been a real game winner, 5/5. It won't get you top of the score board, but you get the caps and ward off the destroyers and it's been working really well. Of course there's been a bit of luck involved in having teams that don't wander off and dies pointlessly so I don't think a 100% win rate is sustainable. I would advise anyone being frustrated to pick a destroyer, it gives you the agency to tip the balance even if you don't deal much damage. Save the BBs for later when you're at a level where people are competent. I've even gone with the AA oriented hull and it works well which actually helps (the main thing is the panicking). Again, it is just a matter of abandoning all hopes for score and try to win the games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[HELLN] dpo70 Players 66 posts 11,916 battles Report post #34 Posted September 17, 2015 1st battle won with good cooperation and only 2 losses on my team. 2st battle won only because we had cap points, with 2 ships left from my team, me and some other dude, who cowardly run off and hide almost the whole time game lasted. I'm guessing it'll take a couple of weeks until players realise that this is a whole different thing and without cooperation the forum will be full of people complaing about the event.

[SKG] McCracken666 Beta Tester 516 posts 11,090 battles Report post #35 Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) ROFL @ Ranked Battles. Still no communication, still people refusing to speak english, still people screaming "noob, idiot, whore or son of a whore" etc etc. I know, you rank up, the idiots don't but it's hard to rank up when you never win ;).

Vanhal Alpha Tester 5,609 posts 5,569 battles Report post #38 Posted September 17, 2015 Right now it's just 7 vs 7 random battle. With boring teams consisting mostly of the same few ships. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[_IRN_] Cor3y Players 202 posts 5,009 battles Report post #39 Posted September 17, 2015 Happy that it worked out somehow Talvathir... Forcing the issue of communication works. If 4 players follow, the other 2 will do the same cause they don't want to die first :-) The most crucial part is then to follow up the leading in the midgame, and have awareness of what's happening to all the players. I find it easier in the BB's or CV's to lead, cause you have more time to observe the game, while in a DD it's pretty hectic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue_Bug Players 1,428 posts 7,991 battles Report post #40 Posted September 17, 2015 At the moment it is like random batle, the only difference is that you have slightly more influence on the batle. I expect it to get better when you are reaching higher ranks. At that moment you will meet players with the same skill level, gameplay should improve at that stage.

Luckyio ∞ Players 310 posts 8,360 battles Report post #42 Posted September 17, 2015 Rather surprised they didn't give ship names and pics to ranks, since they otherwise pretty much lifted the star system from hearthstone.

[BL] Ralifur Players 1 post 842 battles Report post #46 Posted September 17, 2015 Whoever wrote that the attitude will get better as you get higher and you will get better players and see less losses. Im very very sorry to burst your bubble but sadly people utilizing profanity and being annoyed as well as really getting into the game and blaming their teammates is part of a competitive community. Just take a look at league of legends just to mention the one most ppl tend to think is the most toxic community out there. Doesnt matter what rank you are at. there will be someone whos so frustrated about not being able to progress being stuck where he is or just generally getting a guy whom does not play the way he wants to so he starts getting verbal about it. This game wont be much different. You cant get rid of that mentality and once real prizes and rewards for progression shows up the mentality will get worse cause everyone wants to get their share of loot and believe they are worthy of it but the rest of you on his team is simply in his way for his quest to glory. Ranked games are generally not super fun in most games. They are there to be serious and make a display of how good you are as well as get you some sorta reward if you really are good enough (which 99% of the online community think they are :p). Can just hope human mentality will change sometime so ranked will actually be really fun in any game but thats a small hope lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Preditor599 Beta Tester 28 posts 2,060 battles Report post #47 Posted September 17, 2015 So far after 7 games, I've found there is more communication but it doesn't really lead to many wins. Had too many matches where the cruisers rush ahead of their BBs, we can only do 25 knots at best, and get wrecked before their BBs can get into effective firing range. Still trying to get to rank 24. Win one, loose one. That seems to be how it's going for me right now. Still, I like the concept. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
