What if I just jump in tier 1 ships, rush in, die and repeat? Will that be bannable (since I will definitely not AFK) or not?

 

Absolutely not, I have a limited time window in play the game, (2-3 hours twice a week), and I am back at T1-4. You can easily get a couple of kills, have a blast, and be done in 2-8 minutes. GNB has made me go back to low tiers, it's the only way I can get close to the 300 battles without being AFK.

 

I felt really dirty after doing that for a while, but I am on track for the 500 games played now. It also helped me getting my 100 cruiser kills really fast.

Any news on flag bonuses?

 

As the only flags in game that give any bonus are supper tester and alpha tester. I would guess there is non! they just look nice.

no they dont  

-ugly colors

-unimaginative

-lame

 

flags that actually depict a roaring sealionwould have been awesome but this? well...i'd rater fly a pink flag with a huge dildo on it

(im aware its a matter of taste)

Until they make a flag better than the Jolly Roger, all my ships will continue to use that.

This is what I am doing. Bum rush all guns blazing until someone kills me. Funny enough, got me 2 Krakens that way and a few games with 4 kills. I am not suiciding suiciding, in terms of just going forward and shoot, but I don`t give a darn either. Destroyers work best, for speed boost, almost sure torp kill and fast enough death.

 

Yes yes, I`m the evil in these waters, not the genius that thought about some average of 15 battles a day @ 20 mins.

do lowtier battles 

 i did the cruiser 100 kills inthe hermelin for example ~50 battles (1.9 kils per game) with a average duration of about 5 minutes +loading time thats doable

bbs and dds was a bit more battles since i only managed 1.3kill averages there and bb games take about ~10min per game.

I will not turn that into a kill stealing discussion. I already said that I do not notice such a behavior and that I will not look for it either. Stop looking for the negatives in others and simply play the game. You will enjoy it much more this way. If everybody would do it there would be no toxic atmosphere. You complain about it, yet fail to see that you are a part of the problem.

 

 

 

You show a clear sign of not understanding what I wrote. Be it a language barrier, your unwillingness to accept my points or some other form of misunderstanding I don't know.

 

Here let me put it into a more abstract formulation. Maybe you'll understand then.

Low damage + low hitpoint pool on lower tiers = Low amount of possible damage

High damage + high hitpoint pool on higher tiers = High amount of possible damage

Low amount of possible damage / High amount of possible damage = unequal chance to make damage
(no matter what target amount you set, the lower tiers will always need more battles then the high tiers to fullfill it)

 

12 players vs 12 players independent of tier played = equal chance to make kills

 

It is simple logic really.

 

 

Wow, nice attempt to insult and discredit there. Didn't see that edited into your post earlier. I don't know how you come to such conclusions, but you really need to know that such ad-hominem attacks will never help your arguments.

 

You still not understand my point.

You will not turn into kill stealing discussion , when we discuss kill stealing- thats a good one.

So wheres the logic here.

 

Being constantly doing a huge amount of damage- and neglected to final kill, especially playing BB- and complaining about it  "making me part of the problem"

Thats also rich logic.

According to you by complaining im making atmosphere toxic.

Take an example from real life: You meeting some gentlemen being alone on the street going home from the pub.

They giving you a beating and taking your wallet.

You crawling to nearest police station and complainging that streets are unsafe at night.

Police giving you a ticket for disturbing their work.

 

Thats exactly the same.

 

Now the last part.

 

Its sure that making more damage is theoretically easier on highier tier.

In that cause new players will take longer time to made required amount of damage, or they can just grind to highier tier and do more damage.

SO WHAT

?

As I said before- this system will benefit more advanced players

SO WHAT

?

At last player will be forced to DO THE JOB by himself

Not simply STEAL the kill who somebody produced for him and doing NOTHING for the team.

 

Nobody talking here about impossible amount of dmg needed- it will simply take more time for less experienced and will be easier for those more experienced

Cant see anything bad in it

 

In this cause 2 issueas will be reduced

1. Kill stealing

2. Seal clubbing on low tiers ( with was meanwhile already discussed on this thread- storys about clubbing with hermelins and another dresdens

 

12 players vs 12 players- equal chance to make damage.

 

Im not trying insulting you , i just trying make you stop talking this nonsenses here.

The only reason you will no matter what defend your position is its beneficial to you.

Otherwise it not making any sense.

 

I guess you never getting frustrated by someone making you sit and grind another time at the night simply because you are not like other and will not lower your lovel to putting last bullet in already dying ship....

I agree, just got 6 kills in Hermelin, it's stupid. Citadels at tier 1 lol.

 

Ye i just got kraken in hemelin too its kinda silly. Its not particularly fun tho just aim below the water line the dds took 10x the time to kill.

hm couldnt play yesterday and today - so there is that 100 k mission gone for me already. I finished the last weeks one on the very last day, so no way without p2w.

 

 

Kinda curious if they really will raise the XP bar for the single XP mission even higher tomorrow. Anyway, my salt dispensers are ready - just in case.

You've still got a lot of time left, if all, jut focus on some ships of each class that you really enjoy playing and you'll get there.

The new missions are up.

 

20 diamonds - Win 30 battles (done)

40 diamonds - Sink 20 ships with a tier VII ship (20 out of 30, guess I'll better play a few (40 ships worth) matches with my Fubuki soon for the tier VIII mission next week)

20 diamonds - Play 30 Battles as a DD (done)

40 diamonds - Achieve 3,000 exp in a single Battle (done, I'm not sure I'll also qualify for the 3250 mission)

Aaaaand all missions already done.

 

Guess I should play my NO and Amagi a bit to get the next week's t8 challenges done.

Should also pass the 3250 base XP mission, but if they really up the ante up to 3500 base XP, I think I'm missing 50 :(

I had a win at 3700 XP so I have no fear for the next week missions.

 

Problem is that I almost didn't play DD this month, so I'm only at 3/30 games with DD.

 

I guess I'll have to use my Grems and Kamikaze R in the coming days. I feel sad for the red team !!

Hermelin can Own tier 2 ships. I used her before the ranked battles to farm 50% XP flags! In fact All the tier 1 ships can own tier 2 CA and DD. Also do you have the Emden. she is a great tier 2 so is the Albany.

Why not buy premium time using diamonds considering your match results will count for week 4 and 5 as well?

 

Using premium you will only have to earn 2334 base XP once to complete all remaining XP missions (3000/3250/3500), earning you 120 diamonds.
