IntelligenceData Beta Tester 191 posts 8,160 battles Report post #26 Posted October 31, 2016 We never see the ROFL stomp victory threads to counter the whining 'I was on the ROFL stomped team' threads, why? You mean like "I stopped playing because I got bored winning."? I wanted to play about 7hrs on saturday but played only12 games,won them all. Every single game the enemy team was totally brainfucked. Like standard battles and they all die in 10 min whilst sinking 0-2 ships of my team.Or domination mode and the whole damn enemy team camps spawn,they didn't even try to contest a single cap,their DDs sailed along the map border. All 12 games I played were like this.I was constantly thinking OMG WTF are they doing???? Was funny for about 3 games then it just sucked. Always had shitty xp/dmg because the matches were over so quickly. Felt boring like WoT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LilJumpa Beta Tester 4,603 posts 7,488 battles Report post #27 Posted October 31, 2016 Leave your rants in the game, don't bring it to the forums. But if you do, then present a screenshot with you underperforming in a pretty close game (681:695 although the other team has all caps) and shoot yourself in the foot. So good job on this one Mr. IceySaltJones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[2DQT] RUSSIANBlAS Players 8,241 posts Report post #28 Posted October 31, 2016 Only if that concentration of ships actually goes where it needs to go. More often than not those lemming trains just start in one direction and then either bog down at the first contact with the enemy because no one has the balls (or smarts if they actually outnumber the enemy a good bit) to push, or alternatively they all chase a lone enemy ship to the map border for a couple minutes until they finally sink it. In the meantime, any enemy ship that went the other side has free reign to do whatever they please (capping flags or the base ...) and yet again, more often than not no one in the lemming train turns around to defend, which means their only chance would be to push aggressively and outcap the enemy (which can prove decidedly difficult if the enemy actually has one or more ships actively defending/decapping. As for how often I see that work out, compare the previous paragraph. Concentration of force isn't a bad thing and that's not why lemming trains are infamous. It's the fact that they tend to not exploit the concentration in any meaningful way. Very true, also the Lol trains often get separated with DD/Cruisers running away from the BB meaning they're not actually focused... It's pretty funny being that Fast BB sailing into a corner with 6+ enemy ships following you whilst your allied DD cleans up the caps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[2DQT] RUSSIANBlAS Players 8,241 posts Report post #30 Posted October 31, 2016 That. That is the key to success in this game. It's that old RTS tactic. Always focus the squishy units first as losing the fire power soon stacks up massively. E.g both sides start with 10 units, one side focuses and kills one whereas the other side spreads their fire out killing nothing. It quickly snowballs...

EsaTuunanen Beta Tester 3,552 posts 8,863 battles Report post #34 Posted October 31, 2016 In this case it was obviously their very poor tactical play that caused your team to perform badly There's difference in at least playing and "standing in corner of football field" or kicking ball to own goal. Those would never get anyone forward in career, but at most kicked out of casual backyard football. Yet those are allowed and basically even encouraged for getting forward in tiers. I mean there are players with 6k average damage in Kongo and sub 10k average in Fuso and New Mexico! (6k in Minekaze, 5k in Farragut...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean there are players with 6k average damage in Kongo and sub 10k average in Fuso and New Mexico! (6k in Minekaze, 5k in Farragut...) This is what pisses me off the most. The players that play a game, but don't really want to learn any of the rules. Like that one guy we had here (probably a troll) that said he loses monopoly on purpose, because the other player likes winning more. I just cannot understand this kind of thinking. Why are you playing a PvP competitive game if you think like that? It would indeed be like some football player just intentionally sitting at the edge and even giving back the ball to the other team. I cannot see the fun in playing a ship if you are only going to fire your guns twice and then die after 5 minutes of barely doing anything. I am not for a league system or whatever, but I would love it that WG would target the REALLY bad players to get them to at least switch to PvE. That is what PvE is there for. I would even applaud if they made it so you could play PvE on any tier without losing credits (keep the shitty xp gains). Or something, anything really, to get the people with that kind of mindset out of a PvP competitive game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ferry_25 Players 4,392 posts 12,107 battles Report post #40 Posted October 31, 2016 Don't really understand what OP"s is whining about. Looking at his (her?) stats I'd say you're doing wonderfull. I can only dream of such results. And I don't care for stats in the first place. My main goal is to have a good time. So what if you're having some bad matches? So did I and I dare say 100% of all players. If you don't know after 8k matches the weekends are always more extreme: there are more walkovers both on the recieving as on the delivering side.

daniyyel Beta Tester, Sailing Hamster 335 posts 7,723 battles Report post #45 Posted October 31, 2016 So... according to your signature, yesterday you won 34 games from a total of 46. You say "had such cunts 5-6 times in a row". If we do the math we have 34 won + 6 (cunts in a row) = 40 games. We still miss 6 games. So you lost 6 games while winning 34. That's about 1 loss in 6/7 played games (5/6 wins). So your day yesterday was something like this (W=win, L=loss) : 6L + 5W + 1L + 5W + 1L + 6W + 1L + 6W + 1L + 6W + 1L + 6W + 1L = 46 games. Again, why are you complaining ? Because bad players exist in online multiplayer games ? Do you try to tell them what are they doing wrong ? Do you explain nicely or just go "omfg noob/[edited]team" etc ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[XTREM] walter3kurtz Players 1,037 posts 10,815 battles Report post #47 Posted October 31, 2016 I've had some epically bad games yesterday, and it was one of those days you keep playing but only make it worse. You have to see the humor of it I think. All these teammates scurrying around like insects with no plan. Not even working together in a camping spot. And then of course you get an idle carrier in a tier 8 match, twice. Fun times.. Some days are just bad. Have you ever played a public team game with randoms that was any different? Quit feeling so bad about losing a few games. Maybe it's time to take a break. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tenacious_torps ∞ Players 1,373 posts Report post #48 Posted October 31, 2016 Suggestion: One stat is missing and that is average position on the scoreboard. It's also what is needed for better MM, I've come to suspect. Easy MM: you add up all players' value in this one stat and make sure both teams are on even terms. Equal amount of potatoes, nobody needs to go to bed hungry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EsaTuunanen Beta Tester 3,552 posts 8,863 battles Report post #49 Posted October 31, 2016 Point is - what do you expect when hitting RANDOM battle button? How about everyone trying to play instead of just standing in corner of that football field or kicking ball to own goal? That shouldn't be too much to ask because if not interested no one is forced to play this game and they haven't even paid to install this game. Heck, all those single player games with actual price tag in them demand learning and achieving at least something to get forward from starting level. And no one would consider it acceptable for player to start complaining about that! So shouldn't be too much to ask handling at least game basics to keep playing in PvP say after Tier 3. It's not enjoyable either to be in winning team if other team just "rolls over and plays dead" with match basically completely over before five minutes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And everybody will cooperate, and everybody will be kind to you, and everybody will thank for game, and so on. Now back to reality, in every game you have 24 players with 24 ideas how to play the game. You have your own, I have mine. You cannot force everybody to play like you think is correct or fun for you. They do whats fun for them. Suprisingly... And no, it is enjoyable to streamroll the enemy. I love crushing enemy without mercy. So who is wong here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
