[OP-X] D3D_CH Players 74 posts 29,916 battles Report post #1 Posted September 25, 2016 I took the Hindenburg out for a spin this weekend ... and have seen levels of team stupidity I have never ever seen before at T10. Also SO many AFKs, and DDs that take upwards of 2 minutes to load. I can (just about) cope with MM that is wonky, and RNG Trolling you (with you simply unable to hit ships - even at point blank, or kill ships with single digit health, while everyone hits your perfectly-angled ship for citadels like an Exocet) but the low level of team play this weekend has been simply bewildering. DDs that don't want to cap, or spot - and run away at any sight of enemy. All ships leaving the caps they spawn directly in front of (in a big force) to then spend ages going to the other side of the map giving away all the caps. Full of BBs in big lemming trains going fully North or South in Domination. You can tell within a few minutes what the outcome will be, as you watch your utterly inept team lemming away to the far corners or ALL continue to pile onto a capped point, while the other caps fall : and then they get picked off one by one. As a CA I can't carry the team. Even games where I deal out massive damage, kills, High Calibre, Confederate, resetting caps, and even capping myself - result in loss after loss after loss. I just finished the game below : takes real Skillz to dish out 216k damage, with High Calibre and get only 1 kill, should be a medal for that too. I fully understand that it should all balance out, with the enemy occasionally getting the poor players. But this weekend, after about 50 games, it has not proven that with my win rate of 30%. Simply no fun at all. Anyone else experiencing this hair-tearing level of idiocy this weekend ? Or only a horrible patch I am going through .... [please, please let it end - I need a hug ].

[CKBK] dazbull26 Beta Tester 12 posts 21,228 battles Report post #4 Posted September 25, 2016 Same, so many teams where they all sail to one cap and stay there. The enemy has two caps and wins. It has been happening to me in lots of matches lately, and yes lots more afk's and late loaders. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never get upset. Look after your own health, and if the game is too upsetting do something else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vanhal Alpha Tester 5,609 posts 5,569 battles Report post #7 Posted September 25, 2016 Played only few battles this weekend. Seems that most battles ended with one-sided massacre, where it was all decided before battle who is gonna win. Then, battle starts and one team is getting crushing advantage from the first to last shot fired. Not fun even on winning side. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DukeH4mm3r Beta Tester 104 posts 3,006 battles Report post #8 Posted September 25, 2016 Agreed. Logged in to play some battles for the first time this weekend. 5 battles 5 losses. Bar one game always in the top 3 with very little effort. Players are literally just suiciding for no reason in to caps, or sailing in straight lines knowing there are DD's in the area then wonder why they get torp'd... Probably doesn't help that I'm trying to play cruisers in a BB universe game. There's just no point any more! XD 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[GOUF] RambaRal Beta Tester 337 posts 7,140 battles Report post #9 Posted September 25, 2016 I think that my signature is eloquent enough... Problem is that I had quite a lot free time yesterday so I went against my rule of "change ship after 2 losses and do something else after 5/6 losses in a row"... and it went downhill...

crazy5982 Players 102 posts Report post #10 Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) I've had pretty good battles this weekend, except for the one where my team wasn't trying to win (you know chasing that kill is far more important).

JiksTBS Players 255 posts 13,157 battles Report post #11 Posted September 25, 2016 All the crazy sure is out this weekend. Only advice I can give is take out a ship you CAN carry in and make sure the only way the red team can take a win is from your cold, dead hands. Case in point, last match was more or less lost in five minutes but luckily there were two really good BBs left alive and we grimly fought on for a points win after I eliminated their last DD but by God it was hard work. There's no particularly special events on so not quite sure what is afoot, maybe everyone is drunk or something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[MA-GE] T3ddyBear Beta Tester 298 posts 12,792 battles Report post #12 Posted September 25, 2016 Awful weekend, the "event" for BB captains has rammed home the need for change to BB mechanics that is required. Most BB captains regardless of tier have no clue what they are doing and simply do not engage, they run for the edges and sit so far back that they are useless. WG need to come up with a mechanic that gets the BB's in closer, nerf their penetration at distance, do something to get the BB captains to actually fight and support. Also NEVER EVER have another event that brings out so many players of one class.... it's crap. Harrier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[SCRUB] Loran_Battle Beta Tester 1,245 posts Report post #13 Posted September 25, 2016 you guys should try CO-OP... Lots of players there get outplayed by the bots regularly. Just went into one with my Konig to try my secundary build out. 150k damage. Got twice the amount of xp as the 2nd place guy. Our tier 7 BBs couldn't even damage a friggin' fuso... It was hilarious to see. I sometimes play CO-OP, but I'm surprised that even there you need to carry to get a win... People are really that bad at the game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[OP-X] D3D_CH Players 74 posts 29,916 battles Report post #14 Posted September 25, 2016 And it continues ..... All sitting on C when we have the upper hand - letting the enemy come into B. I held the Southern flank alone. Took out a Bismark, Atago and Benson (top scorer, again). Told them "PUSH B". Nothing. Sigh .... I can't do more. Looks like I need to L2P and get Kraken every game if I hope to see 40% this weeekend .. D. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone wondering why WG/Lesta has to dumb down the game has not played on a BB special weekend. Even a joystick with 2 buttons is too complicated for so many individuals who have only 3 braincells (1 for breathing, 2 for turning on the PC).

[KOOKS] krautjaeger Modder, Beta Tester 1,514 posts 3,350 battles Report post #17 Posted September 25, 2016 The saddest part : T8-10 Tier 8 is not bad at all as long as you are either top tier, or mid. It's when you get in with the tier 10 muppets it all goes pearshaped. There's so much anger and bile there, some times I just wished WG would move tier 10 out and away from the main game and have some sort of mode of its own.

[PKTZS] JapLance Weekend Tester 2,567 posts 18,265 battles Report post #21 Posted September 25, 2016 This weekend hasn't been extraordinary bad for me in win ratio (I've had terrible ones before though), but certainly the games are in general too one-sided. A couple of them in some of my most trusty ships have ended in a waste of the first win +100% because enemy team just melted so fast it was difficult to get damage in a gun destroyer. On the other hand, I've noticed an increase in YOLO battleships to the nearest cap. I suspect they did it with the hope of getting a win and getting the mission of 10 victories in BBs per day done.

EsaTuunanen Beta Tester 3,552 posts 8,863 battles Report post #22 Posted September 25, 2016 Guess I got lucky today and earlier in the week. Though today two matches were really tight for getting that 7/7 wins. In Trident Epicenter had potato CV in team (vs. OK) and couple Brainless Bo(a)ts about suiciding so went to last minute to pull victory with another DD. And last Domination match in Estuary had one pinkie New York sailing about uselessly in rear and some other BBs seemed to be obsessed with showing their side to enemy. Fortunately just as points were closing to 1000 with enemy team in ~five point lead managed to scare enemy Warspite out of their "home cap" and stop that cap from giving points to enemy with one cap advantage giving 1000-998 victory. Though in last couple months had many awful days with 3/4 of teams doing their best to sabotage victory chances and lose. Even a joystick with 2 buttons is too complicated for so many individuals who have only 3 braincells (1 for breathing, 2 for turning on the PC). The saddest part : T8-10 Breathing is automatic reflex so it doesn't need thinking capable braincell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
