Hello everybody,

 

my name is tenacious_torps and for months I've been playing WOWS, even on the weekends. Frankly, it starts to rub off on me and I'm beginning to do the derpiest things. I need a proper intervention and a group hug, pretty please. 

 

ARGH!, Just ARGH!

What we have here is a typical weekend player admitting he is a weekend player, and you all know how we feel about weekend players? Burn him at the stake, NOW!

Heavy dose of alcohol helps on weekends. Well it does not exactly help to carry more but tolerate the madness. That being said I'm honestly surprised how well I'm doing when I'm piss [edited]drunk compared to your regular weekend warrior.

Try to play in division - that helps while weekend last.

 

Yes, but even than it can be quite frustrating.

Weekends mostly mean my stats go up and my winrate tanks. For some reason I find it much easier to keep all Zen in WoWs than in WoT. Or, god beware, fighting games or FPS.

How many more "it's weekend" threads and excuses do we need?

I am playing the same on weekends as I do on weekdays and with the same results.

Did you ever hear the phrase "self fullfilling prophecy"? Maybe if you stopped worrying about the performance of the others your weekend experience will improve significantly?

 

So far I have seen no statistical evidence that gameplay is worse on weekends. My own experience doesn't take a hit during that timeframe either. Until the day someone can provide actual evidence that weekends are in any way a worse gameplay experience with worse players, it is all nothing but you projecting something bad on the rest of the server population.

Games are more... odd... at weekends. You get stranger player behaviour.

 

However since this occurs on both sides as long as you expect the unexpected you can use it to your advantage.

 

Weekends have no effect on my WR or WTR but the games do get more weird.

Normally I blame weekend casuals for my lacking performance during those dark days.. until two weeks ago.

 

I played two days during the week, I had a 16% wr one day and a 3x% win rate the other, i thought I was cursed. Then the weekend came, and my win rate was > 80% percent for one day and close to 70% the other. 

 

So, please, bring back the weekend casuals :trollface:

Weekend?
This whole week was goddamn awful when it comes to high tier games (8+).

I have no idea where the heck did all those guys crawl out from, but high tier games were next to unplayable.

Friday and Saturday were horrible for me.  I think Friday was just general fatigue on my part, but I found it all rather frustrating - it seemed like when I put my shoulder pads on and did some hard carrying it wasn't enough but when I misjudged things terribly (that fatigue) then I would end up with an uninspiring win.

 

Sunday was a lot better - I had more success in the morning and then a successful division in the evening :)

Aaaaand of course it's posted in gameplay... 

 

Why are you here?

 

Given that he is talking about the gameplay on the weekend it fits quite well.  Unlike your reply.

A weekend probably not the best time to complete the grind of Ranger (which I liked) and move onto Lexington (why are all my battles me as bottom tier suddenly full of T10's)

Here is the recipe for better weekends ...

 

[edited]

 

Totally agree just visit your nearest coffeshop :)

This aside, when I have a really bad streak I just quit for a while and either go out with friends or go for a loooong walk.

this weekend I met one of the worst CV players I've ever met.. thought I'd look up his stats.. should never have done that :fishpalm:

 

 3k+ battles with 37% WR.. defuq?? that's even worse than a player who would be AFK all the time  :amazed:

Sometimes the team's just melt and do nothing, so far in my Edinburgh I have 75k average damage, but only 1 win from 6 games.

The problem is the poor play and attitude from playing at weekends is rubbing off onto me now, I am behaving/playing like the proverbial Mr. PotatoHead now......

 

I need to see an analyst........ :read_fish:
