CleverViking Players 503 posts 1,982 battles Report post #1 Posted January 22, 2017 First, let me just clarify that I'm by no means an amazing player I need a decent team to do well. I can do quite well on occasion and usually place in the top half (at least on regular weekdays). Just need a bit of a rant. However, some of the teams you get in the weekends are just insane, forget common strategies for certain modes and advanced knowledge, these are players that lack any sort of common sense. This weekend has been especially rough on my end at least as This has been a weekend where no one is interested in even discussing which caps to focus, or even when we decide to focus, say, AB, suddenly I find myself the only one going A and the rest of the team have gone off to C. I find it quite disheartening in a game that relies so much on teamwork that no one seems the slightest interested in doing any. Sometimes players will even get toxic on the mere mention that some sort of plan would be nice. It was the same the last weekend. After a couple of matches I stopped trying, I still pushed battle but expected a loss from the get-go trying to break out of my "slump". I think WG should really make tutorials a larger part of the game and not just rely on CCs to teach players how to play. (Not that I have any evidence for my hypothesis that weekend players generally don't know what to do ) How would you go about improving the situation? Do you guys usually avoid weekends? Thoughts? (Inbefore "git gud", "your stats suck", "salty much?", "cry moar" etc. ) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Admiral_Noif Weekend Tester 873 posts 6,620 battles Report post #2 Posted January 22, 2017 I cant understand those weekend players. I don't know why those player prefer "Lemming" and "sit and camp" in one cap place while enemy hold other 2-3 caps and blame me fool that I tried hold enemies to take A. God I hate those ppl who have no clue how to play this game specially in "two brother" map. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[CUPID] AndyTheCupid Community Contributor 310 posts 31,986 battles Report post #5 Posted January 22, 2017 There's an even chance the opposition team has the same problem, but weekends seem to produce weird results.

Weekends are nice, as they create situations where you can simply go around farming damage off cretins. You won't believe how many Atagos gives their broadsides to my Zao. If your winrate suffers, just division up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[TNG] TheCoolBird Players 136 posts 2,171 battles Report post #9 Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) This weekend hasn't been good for me as well. I think I'm just going to take a break for the rest of today. I make bad mistakes sometimes my self, but after losing every game in my destroyers I'm done for today. I love it when an enemy gives me broadside sure, but I don't usually expect much over the weekends. My win rate could go up, or down. I just hope that whatever team I join next knows what they're doing. If things go badly, I usually take a break and do something else.

Yesterday for example I played 19 games only lost 2. Edited January 22, 2017 by peachpest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My winrating is not dependent on the day of the week My is apparently dependent on the month of the year or something.....these last two months (not counting the last two weeks) I've lost 90% of my battles...it just started happening, so I lost around 3% of my wr in a few days but now it's slowly starting to level out again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[2DQT] RUSSIANBlAS Players 8,241 posts Report post #13 Posted January 22, 2017 Not sure yet but it seems like standard of play has fallen through the floor since 0.6.0 So many games where entire teams make no effort to cap and just sail slowly behind a cap, fire a few shots then bleed out on points and lose. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[MOF] MuddyMo Players 61 posts 8,119 battles Report post #16 Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) it's just the people that can't play during the 5 days of the week, they have work or school, they don't have the knowledge people like me and other good players do (or the brainpower too think straight). just get used to it and profit on it like me, a myoko was showing broadside too me in my kutuzov constantly even after i rammed 6 citadels into him with a single volley.

[SINC] Date_A_Bullet Players 2,677 posts 12,073 battles Report post #20 Posted January 22, 2017 Dude... people have stated that after every patch implemented... Well its not completely made-up. Enough changes were implemented that made the game a little bit more static with every patch, starting with "situational awareness" for everyone, to the current stuff like RPF and priority target. At least high tier matches. The time i started WoWs the games were a bit more dynamic, including the 20km-Shima-torp-spam-of-doom era. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SCRUB] Migulaitor Players 748 posts Report post #22 Posted January 22, 2017 I hate those ppl who have no clue how to play this game specially in "two brother" map. There are only 2 ways to play this map cyka blyat rush B or if you spam on B cyka blyat rush C. The other day 4 ships came trough the middle, got spotted in the way by a plane, atlanta and belfast into a smoke waiting. I recorded it: After we went trought the middle capped and broke their fleet in 2, after 5 minutes the result was obvious. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
