So what do you think?

 

Will border hugging will ever be fixed or at least changed into beeing a disadvantage?

 

Right now it is the single best tactic to avoid beeing hit.

 

I know there already are threads about this... but this BS has to end.

Despite your full awareness, you still made the decision to make an entirely new thread? Do you actually think that no one on these forums, be it Wargaming staff or other forumites, is not familiar with this issue? The impact of this "fresh" thread of yours is null.

As someone else said in another thread...

 

The point is to make every new player who comes into these forums be aware of this exploit.

 

What else can we do to make a programmer take some MINUTES of his time to end this exploit?

If they dont code like newbies its just a copy and paste job to force the ship into a full stop when touching the border.

 

Let the ship behave like it touched land... problem fixed.

Let it lose hp after some time... problem fixed.

 

There are more ideas in this forum how to solve this then characters needed to recode this BS.

If you open new threads about the same issue the moderator will visit the thread and lock it while leaving. If you keep doing it you probably will receive a warning about spamming forum.

 

2.5 Off Topic, spamming and trolling

This category includes:
• Excessively communicating the same phrase, similar phrases, or pure gibberish
Creation of topics that already exist on the forum (Please use search and add to existing topics were possible)
• Off-topic posting, such as attempting to derail serious threads or creating topics in the wrong forum section
• Creating threads for the sole purpose of causing unrest on the forums
• Creating threads for purpose of reporting or discussing in game violations. Such incidences are to be directed to support
• Causing disturbances in forum threads, such as picking fights, making off topic posts that ruin the thread, insulting other posters
• Making non-constructive posts, or creating threads on non-constructive topics
• Abusing the "Reported Post" feature by sending false alarms or nonsensical messages
• Numbering a thread, posting “First!”, “IBTL” (“in before thread lock”) or any other fad statements
• “Bumping” posts. Some sections may allow “bumping” in moderation, but users are to check the subsection of the forum to make sure that it is allowed in that section
• Creation of petition threads or polls that are not aimed at conducting a discussion.
Users should make sure that they post your new threads and postings in the appropriate forum, and users are asked familiarize themselves with the forums. This helps other users and moderators maintain an overview and so be able to respond faster with an appropriate answer to questions. Before beginning a new thread, look to see if an active thread on that topic has already been established using the Search feature. If so, place your comments there instead. Keep discussions about one topic to one thread only.
Posts which drift off topic, or content-free posts will be edited or removed. Posting multiple messages with the same content across several forums is unwelcome and inappropriate, since such activities divide the targeted discussions and makes gathering feedback considerably more difficult. Such ‘cross posts’ will be merged, closed and redirected or removed. If so, place your comments there instead.
If a member is found to have participated in such actions, he/she will:
• Be given a temporary ban from the World of Warships forums, depending upon severity

The other threads I found are about:

- ideas about how to fix it

- if the player base prefers to see the future of this game played on the borders of the maps

- the advanteges of doing so

 

Mine is about ( you could read this in the OP btw... seems to be hard for you ) "Will WG ever fix it".

 

These topics are different!

This topic is about discussing a timeframe!

So... a topics about a porsche´s acceleration and a topic about when it was build are the same?

No they are not! They are different!

 

Why dont we make it simple and merge ALL of the topics in this forum... they are about the same game.

This thread is same with the other one. You are both whining about border exploit. While yours gets into non constructive whining theirs get into constructive whining. You are not in a good position so stop opening spam threads

Your reading comprehension is really bad... and your logic is broken too.

 

I mentiond three others... not one... you should buy glasses or fire that guy who reads for you.

 

But anyway... If my thread and the other(s) are the same ( like you say ) how can they be different at the same time?

Either they are the same... or not... you cannot have both!

 

I understand that you are sick of reading threads about people wanting to get rid of something you clearly like... but you should understand this is not personal!

Most people like a fair game without exploits.

 

You are still allowed to defend exploits as much as you want... but I think it´s odd.

Except that aside from limiting CV attack vectors, it's not an exploit.

Sorry but I cannot find them.

 

Reason:

"The following search terms are not allowed and were removed from your query: border "

 

Why dont you simply make a list and post it here?

I am curious how much effort someone who likes this exploit is willing to spend in order to keep discussions about it down.

i dont like exploits and i dont have a problem with the way the border works right now because i dont concider it an exploit.

the reason that i dont concider it an exploit is because it is so easy to hit people on the border they can only move in two diffrent directions if they stay on the border.

but true i see a lot of people that dont know how to hit someone on the border but i think that is more a matter of L2P than a broken game mechanic

Border hugging is only broken in that it can vastly increase the turn time of a BB that wants to return to normal play, other than that they are simply sitting ducks (all classes) when border hugging, its not a big issue and frankly isnt worse than the War Thunder fly to a border at low alt and respawn higher than the chaser.

Border should work like islands:

Proximity warning -> STOP

 

PS: Why is word border blocked from search??

Had a funny one late last night, WoWs_Test account, seems was an employee of WG as when he was called out on Hugging said "It is Ok it is allowed", when questioned about exploiting a game mechanic and EULA... he replied that he was very familiar with the EULA and Hugging is perfectly legitimate, he also said yes its annoying but is perfectly allowed..... So...... seems it aint ever gonna be fixed !
