Is ranked going to be only tier 7 ?

[B010011A]

It's a simple question, cause I'd hate if WG do that to us. I've been preparing tier8 ships for ranked the past few months and I'd hate if they only make ranked tier7. It's the less enjoyable tier for me so far and thats why I dont keep ships at this tier... I only have Schors and ARP Myoko while at tier 8 I have Lexington, NC, Amagi, Fubuki and soon Chapaev...

 

I think they (WG) should keep improving the old system and stop changing tiers from time to time... I know this is only whats been talked out there and what I've heard about next ranked season but I wish this doesnt come true.

Wait until tomorrow. Ranked is rumored to start on June 1st on the RU cluster. Sure there may be differences according to acquired stars on each level, but during the last seasons, the bracktes on all servers were the same.

 

Personally I believe the rumors that it's going to be 5/6 for the lower ranks and 6/7 for the higher ranks.

As far as I know, ranked changes tiers every season. It's a good way of keeping everyone playing ships in all tiers, although it does make things frustrating if a player wants to play ranked but doesn't have a 15+ point captain in any of his appropriate ships.

 

Speaking of which, I wish they would do something about the tier spread in ranked, as at the moment the lower available tier is basically just a trap. They should really equalise tiers on both sides, that way they get additional variety without players actively shooting themselves in the foot.

I read somewhere it will be 5/6 7/8 and 10 for the last few ranks. Can't really remember but gl if you have time to go through this.

I think it was in one of the Q&A.

[Sonic_157]

In a recent RU Q&A, it was stated that the new ranked season will cover tiers 5-6-7 only.

 

It was also hinted that players that reach rank 1 will be able to continue playing in a seperate tier 10 league.

 

 

 

[B010011A]

I wish it'll be 5-6 till 15rank then 7-8 from 15 to 1.

[Sonic_157]

From the info we have now, that seems unlikely.

 

I think you should prepare some tier 7 ships.

 

 

[Needy_Game]

even though, i spent time and money to bring my Hipper to Ranked Ready status, i wouldn't mind T7 at all, its actually much better, and the ships imo are better balanced.

Why? Was WG dissatisfied with the way the last few ranked rounds went? I mean of course I don't mind taking my hiryu for a spin in ranked

They have to have it with tier 8 ships so all the wallet warriors can bring out their op premium ships

US server - number of stars required for rank 1: 10

 

EU server - number of stars required for rank 1: 150

Dont worry there will be a Ranked Atlanta bundle.

Yeah, can't sell more expensive Tirpitz bundles otherwise...

[Kurbain]

Well, they sold plenty of Atagos, Kutuzovs and Tirpitzes already.

 

Now it is time for T7 ranked in order to boost Atlanta, Blyskawica and Indianapolis sales.

Change is good and interesting, Tier 8 will be a staple of team battles im sure. 

Keeping the same tiers for ranked is boring, i really like they are switching the tier, i want to see a tier 8-10 ranked season, even a tier 3-5 or something funky like that.

[Admiral_noodle]

I think ranked *should* change tier each time. Make sure people aren't good with just one ship

 

T7 would suit me now. I've come to terms with Yorck. Shchors seems brilliant and I have Nagato for BB play.

 

Coincidence that Indianapolis has gone on sale? I would think not if its tier 7 for ranked...

 

 

[Elo_Naj]

Would be interesting if it starts at T1 and ends at T10.

Well, last Ranked saw RU requiring one star more per rank than the other servers. It will probably not be like that again since RU has lost a lot of players so EU might be bigger now. So EU and RU needing one more star than NA and SEA? Doesn't seem unlikely to me at least... I hope for parity though.

[Capra76]

The big complaint about the last ranked season was the perceived dominance of the Benson, limiting ships to T7 does remove this but will likely transfer the problem somewhere else (Blyskawica maybe).

Any ship played well can be OP, thats the truth and there's where you can notice it in fact, in ranked. Now you have plenty of tier 8 ships to choose from or play them all if you can afford grinding them, so i dont see the problem for WG.

[Halliwell83]

BS if true. They should take it up a tier to 9, if anything.

 

Also would like to see a limit on the number of DDs.

[batch1]

I agree with lots of things said so far, But WG have to limit it to a certain tier choice, we just have to adjust and play to our strengths in what ever ship we are in, team work with situational awareness wins no matter what the enemy brings.

 

 

[Sonic_157]

 

Well, IMO, tiers 6-7 are more challenging than tiers 7-8 because of the choices you have.

A lot of tier 6 ships are very strong and closer in performance to their tier 7 counterparts, whereas in a tier 7-8 spread you "must" choose a tier 8 ship to have an advantage.

For example, what would you pick?

Mutsuki or Hatsuharu?
Fuso or Nagato?
Cleveland or Pensacola?

New Mexico or Colorado?
Nurnberg or Yorck?

Even Budyonny or Shchors. Tier 6 to 7 is usually the "step change". Most tier 6s have advantages over their tier 7s even tho the tier 7s are "better". In a way tier V/VI doesn't work (New York way worse than New Mexico for example)

I think it was in one of the Q&A.

 

I played the recent public beta test and ranked was enabled in it. What you describe is what I saw... multiple ranks... lower tiers for the lower ranks, higher tiers for the higher ranks.

 

I wasn't happy with the number 1 reward though... it was a bit low credit wise... maybe only 3 or 5 million credits or so ? In the previous ranked battles I saw a main price of 10 million or so for first place ?!

 

So I am hoping that more credits will be given out at different ranks ! ;) I did see some of that... but perhaps not enough ! ;)

 

The number of signal flag rewards was massive though ! 50x ! ;) Though I have been saving up signal flags to be able to use them in ranked battles ! ;)

 

Perhaps it's a better idea to disallow signal flags in ranked battles to keep it a bit more fair... and to force players to use them up in random battles... so that ranked battles only becomes a source for signal flags not a sink ! ;)

 

This could perhaps remove some of the frustration of saving up these signal flags and maybe make the game a bit more fun to play overall... though it might make it also a bit more boring/lack luster/meaningless... so it's a bit of a delict balance ! ;)

 

Though on the other hand... I am also cool with ranked being: THROW EVERYTHING YOU HAVE AGAINST IT... including modules/configurations and thus also signal flags, camouflages/consumeables ! ;)
