[OLDG] Verence196 Players 313 posts 7,457 battles Report post #1 Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) NA has the ranked season announcement up on their front page. I expect EU will have it shortly too.https://worldofwarships.com/en/news/common/sixseasonsandabuoy/ edit: Yup. That was quick. =)https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/common/ranked-battles-s6/Changed text to reflect EU specific mission. Ranked Battles Season 6 General News Get to your Battle Stations, Captains – season 6 of Ranked Battles is nearly here. Will the Jolly Rodger flag be yours? The sixth season of the popular Ranked Battles mode is starting on 10 February at 07:00 CET (UTC+1) and runs until 24 March at 07:00 CET (UTC+1). Test your mettle in the fury of Ranked Battles mode. Whether you are an ardent sailor of the high seas or just looking to dip your toes in for the first time, we have plenty of action for everyone. Not only do you get to enjoy the thrill of ranked combat, but you also have the opportunity to earn some great rewards in the process by moving up the ranks. The concept of Ranked Battles stays the same: battle your opponents in a special 7 vs 7 format. The "Must Knows" About Season 6 Season 6 of Ranked Battles will see you earning progression Stars, climbing to the top through a total of 23 ranks separated into four leagues. All league matches will be Tier VII. Players are matched within their respective leagues to ensure that battles are as balanced as possible. Like in the previous seasons, progression through the ranks is influenced by your efforts on the battlefield as well as the efforts of your team. Win a game, get a Star – lose a game, lose a Star (players who achieved rank one can of course continue playing until the season's end). However, your accolades will be appreciated, and you will not be dragged down by an inefficient team. Be the best in your team and keep your hard-earned Star even for a lost game. Tell Me More, What Can I Stand To Win? There's treasure aplenty for you to win out on the high seas, including: New Upgrades Signal Flags Camouflages Commemorative Flags Credits Doubloons Jolly Rodger flag at Rank 1 And, saving the best til last, bragging rights! But that's not all: reach rank one in three non-consecutive Ranked Battles seasons and earn the Premium Tier VII Cruiser USS Flint. There's also the ultimate reward, the Premium Tier IX Destroyer USS Black for players that have achieved rank one in all five prior Ranked Battles Seasons! The flags awarded for reaching a certain league will also give out service fee discounts for your ships. These flags will be removed after the season is over. Second League -5% SERVICE FEE First League -10% SERVICE FEE Premiere League -20% SERVICE FEE Prepared for the Super League? If you're valiant enough to reach rank one, you will be able to make it to the Super League. Admission to the Super League comes with repeatable quests: Prime Time will be between 17:00 CET (UTC+1) and 22:00 CET (UTC+1). Mission: Super League Mission Restrictions: Repeatable Tier V only Conditions - over any amount of battles: Play 1 Ranked Battle Rewards - once finished, you will receive: +100% Credit Income +200% to experience gain Anything else about Season 6? For each rank earned in season 5, you get one Star in season 6. The safe ranks, from which you cannot fall, are: 22-17, 15, and 12. Each rank requires a gain from 1 to 5 Stars. Remember, however, that by being the best player from the losing team (by experience gained), you do not lose a Star. The exact rewards for obtaining each rank and the precise number of stars can be found in-game within the Ranked Battles section! That's it! Now you are ready to join Season 6 of Ranked Battles, progress up the ladder, and earn yourself bounty and fame on the high seas of World of Warships. Action Stations! Note: As this is now out on EU there will likely be a thread in the "announcements" section of the forum. Mods should feel free to delete this thread once there is. =) Edited February 6, 2017 by Verence196 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rich getting richer etc Imagine a fletcher with Radar (i know they said they won't do that literaly just a month ago, but hey its WG) and IJN Torps (long range, BIG damage but slow) then you can answer for yourself if that feels OP.....

Shouldn't players at/around IX no longer be noobs ? Never mind, I withdraw the question. I just noticed how stupid it is to assume people learn anything while dying their way up to X.

I just noticed how stupid it is to assume people learn anything while dying their way up to X. Oh no... Don't get me started. There are A LOT of top tier potatoes now, it's starting to hurt. Like a Moskva the other day with ALL stats in the red BAD zone. He had no idea how to use his ship and got farmed right at the end after not helping us with radar or any sort of effective fire. And all those noob Missouri, I've had 50k+ single salvo strikes on them as they have no idea of the side vulnerability. And so on! Anyone who can win Ranked multiple times does not need another power hike, give them a buffed flag with no repair costs or extra free XP or something. That would give them a bonus and not beat down the potato even harder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[ROGUE] SunSkaRe Beta Tester 268 posts 27,066 battles Report post #25 Posted February 6, 2017 The rewards work either you get rank1 consecutive times or not... WG added that when people started to ask if we need to have consecutive wins in ranked to get the rewards (since many people skipped season 3 cause reward was supposed to be the same as in season 2) So you get to rank 1 once = Jolly Roger flag You get rank 1 a second time = Jolly Roger II flag You get rank 1 a thirt time = USS Flint You get rank 1 a fourth time = Jolly Roger III flag You get rank 1 a fifth time = USS Black Works that way either you get your rank1 seasons consecutive or not (and pilot season dont really count for anything as there was no reward given for getting rank 1... you could only get the first Jolly Roger flag from the second season onwards) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
