0.5.3

[xblade877]

Hi guys and WG

 

I just saw the teaser of 0.5.3 and they are introducing the the "TEAM BATTLE" is just me or they are trying to say that it is the Clan Battle ???

 

[Vogel]

It's just you.

[Foofight]

Would they call it Team Battle if it was a Clan Battle? Just to confuse everyone? .....

[Noobsplatter]

I would call it more of a division battle with 2 big divisions (this is based on just that tease). If one can make teams and choose other teams to fight then it could be used as a temporaroy clan battle mode until the actual one comes.

 

But I saw the button below it, looks like we get the training rooms in this patch?

[__Danger___]

It's exactly what it says and what we waited for - Team Battles. Battles of pre-made teams.

Clans will come later, I would say in next few months as it should be priority for devs now.

Hi all,

 

Possibly pre-set (map, position and ship selection) reenaction of historic battles?

[TakeMeRiver]

team battles? damn need to start making friends then 

 

[Vulgarny]

What smells kinda bad is timer bellow team battles. Ending in 11 hours? Its only open for some days in week?

[Vanhal]

Same as companies in WoT. No clans yet.

 

Worse of all, no new line of ships. They would surely brag about this even in teaser

[D7v]

This teaser is empty. There is nothing at all to be made out of it... Nothing really interesting seems to be coming except AA changes.

Strange indeed. Maybe they will have it available for a limited number of days similar to ranked.

I would presume that the availability limitation is due to expected issues with team battles population. In WoT first came the clans so when team battles were introduced there was already a sizeable player pool.

While I expect issues at launch (both content and functioning wise - its WG after all ), at least it is a step in the right direction which should help in the start of building of a more teamwork oriented community.

I look forward to trying it, as I hope will do a lot of fellow captains

[havaduck]

I am assuming its like "arranged teams" in WC III as opposed to "random team" which is the standard random battle here.

Wouldnt give to much about the timer. Test builds, maybe derived from the ranked-"frame", WG, and so on.

 

 

... sadly not too thrilled about since I dont have people to even divsion up, let alone form a whole team. For once, not WGs fault though.

 

 

 

the rest ...... well I was hoping for some more information in this teaser, even if they would be just hints. EG:

 

German battleships? or any other tree: I am by now even confused; should we anticipate GB cruisers to be next (alone?) or german battleships and russian cruisers together? ...... and WHEN? (the first to give "soon" gets slapped with an old fish )

 

AA Changes?

 

 

[makhot]

AA changes?

[Plautuskake]

AA changes?

 

Rumours say that there are coming some changes in AA. Like shorter AA range but more power (more DPS) in that short range.

[jimonwye]

"Incoming with the speed of a retreating Destroyer"... That is brilliant, it's coming as fast as something going away fast. 

 

[Admiral_noodle]

Team battle sounds good. Once it's fixed

 

and i I mean the chances of this new functionality working smoothly immediately are slim  

 

abd thats not not a dig at WG. This is really hard to get right. No wonder no new ships just yet. 

[shulzidar]

Well... Team Battles should be the 1st step to build "Clan Wars" later on... What a better way to organize team battles than contacting another Clan and fight each other? Probably will lead to some heated discussions, etc, etc, but will offer valuable feedback on fight mechanics in a high level of coordination/planification environment (In theory)...

 

...If the former doesn't spark the interest of currently formed Clans, at least will give a controlled way to create your own group matches besides the cumbersome and, rarely available, training rooms.

[Gunship14]

So I'm guessing since this is a semi-major update, no new ships for at the very least 1 more month...

At least three months. I doubt this 0.5.3 patch will show earlier than end of february, which make 0.5.4 and the chance for new ships at the end of April.

 

Honestly, my enthusiasm for new 7 vs 7 mode is almost none, no matter what or how it will be done. If that is the main change of 0.5.3, then i'm not holding my breath. I want German or British BB's.

So true. I really don't care for a 7v7 mode if I'll be using the same ships I will have been using for a couple of months by then, which is the 2 BB lines. This also goes for fighting the same enemy ships over and over and over and over. "Oh look, I'm gonna fight a team of Yamatos, Zaos and Shimas for the 1000th time". Love the game, but it's beginning to get a bit stale.

[Seaman_Staines1]

This!!!!!!

[Tyrendian89]

 

This!!!!!!

 

yup. Good thing I only have one week left of desperately looking for things to play, and then XCOM2 will solve that particular problem for a few months

[Admiral_noodle]

For me and my friends team mode is very exciting

Yes we need more trees too.

 

i don't play enough for it to become stale, and I play what I consider a lot.., and yet some people play it 3-4x as much!!

[Crooq_Lionfang]

Team mode in principle sounds good, but without introducing clan infrastructure first it will be for very few people only. Most don't know enough people to put together regular teams, and playing it with strangers you might as well play ranked. Same 7v7, same random group of people, better rewards. For the people that already are organized in clans operating outside of the game it'll be a great way to play together and train for future clanwars
