[TTTX] Ictogan Players 1,841 posts 7,432 battles Report post #2 Posted July 23, 2016 Well, you need 14 people who have reached rank 1 AND have tier 10 ships AND are currently in the mood to play ranked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[VH] oosel [VH] Players 191 posts 22,646 battles Report post #3 Posted July 23, 2016 i keep seeing 60 available and thought wait 20mins it will be game over and ill be first in queue but no it just stays with a few people in it who obviously get bored of waiting so it looks like the same guys are just getting match after match now at 65 mins and waiting they cant honestly expect that is the norm and for people to just sit there and wait that long its needs addressing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[BLUMR] Lolisankyu Players 38 posts 19,972 battles Report post #7 Posted July 23, 2016 There is no point playing rank tier 10 bracket. Not even reasonable reward so no motivation not only for me but for many people. Besides it took quite long time to get that rank so most of people just want to have peace until next season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SCRUB] Kenliero Players 2,478 posts 11,195 battles Report post #10 Posted July 23, 2016 Solution: make ranked grind harder and shorter by decreasing required stars and removing irrevocable ranks... Now the grind is so long that people just want to do something else. Also reward needs to be good enough so that it would be better than grinding ships in random Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[POMF] Pekoe_Darjeeling Weekend Tester 2,385 posts 10,008 battles Report post #11 Posted July 23, 2016 So 52%(51.94 exactly) is enough to get rank 1 apparently... That must be some pro league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That must be some pro league. your point being what exactly not everyone is a stat junky and being mainly front line dd player means you are invariably one of the first ships called primary and focused down and no matter how well you play quite a few games its not enough ask anyone who playing from r 3 upwards its so much rng luck sometimes you luck out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That must be some pro league. 52% is still excellent. i am more baffled by people who have WR below 50% and got to rank 1: 47.53% and 829 battles 47.68% and 1036 battles 48.39% and 496 battles 48.58% and 776 battles 48.77% and 609 battles 48.85% and 868 battles 48.85% and 997 battles 48.88% and 1209 battles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Egoleter ∞ Players 4,046 posts Report post #17 Posted July 23, 2016 Where do these guys find the time to play that many matches? 1000 battles to get to rank 1 only. That's quite some excessive gaming. That's almost as many battles as I played in total and some even exceed that number. I played 68 ranked battles. Enough to get me to rank 10. I stopped there, as I knew I wouldn't have the time to grind myself to to the top even with my current > 60 % winrate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nekomatafuyu ∞ Beta Tester 84 posts 8,011 battles Report post #25 Posted July 24, 2016 I think part of the problem this weekend is that there's a much better reward for playing Random. You can either play RankedX and get 2x Captain XP for 10 ribbons, or you can play Random and get 3x Captain XP for 10 ribbons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
