Might be the only way to get some enjoyment out of this mutilated game mode. Perhaps I'll try showing up 

 

I mean, even if there were some matches going on, the meta enforced by "2 top XP from each team" where your actual enemy is the team... seen that once, not much incentive to try again...

[Spuggy]

No torpedoes. Only ramming. All try to synchronise the ramming together as one simultaneous kill. Match ends in a draw and all players will be considered to be in the top two. Then it could have been super containers for all!!

[XbodzioXplX]

Good idea!

oh.. just reread well i think problem is with secondaries and number of km sailed that gives you different xp...

[eliastion]

Well, I'm pretty sure the game would just make random 2 to be first 2 even if you pulled it off.

Either way, "ramming only" matches would be pretty fun but there would always be that one random oblivious guy who couldn't help himself with the trigger.

...or that would jump in with a battleship just for the sake of trollishness if nothing else  

The "no smoke" rules seem to be more realistic  

[robihr]

well i opened SuperLeague chat channel so we can gather there before starting

As far as I know the only DD with secondaries is Kiew which is tier 8 now. 

Not sure about the new SN DDs, though.

It's probably this sort of discussion that got container drops nerfed!

 

WG look at the scores and assume ppl are afk abusing.

only way to get people to actually play super league. btw there is nothing wrong with this kind of play. fast and fun instead of slow campy and smoky meta that you had to endure to get to rank 1.

Well, this sort of discussion is what's the only way to play SL now. Had they shifted the rewards from losers to winners (2 containers for winners, nothing for losers) they might have normal gameplay on Rank 1 level with people doing their best in their favourite t5 ships.

As they made it - some wacky DD action is the only way I see to actually have some fun and get any rewards. "Serious" matches (if they even took place - and they just don't) would be a frustrating experience of playing against your team (it's them you have to beat for containers, not the enemy) for underwhelming rewards with ridiculous waiting times. I've once managed to make it into a "normal" SL match. It was absolutely awful.

This, on the other hand - well, this seems like the kind of fun I get out of german t2 DD. Only without the awful feeling of being a nasty sealclubber. And with enough matches there is at least a chance for getting a couple containers in the process.

 

When WG changes the rules again - to something sensible - we can talk normal gameplay. In current state of SL? No way.

 

PS: The chat channel is the same as always, right?

[Adrian1914]

Sounds like fun, count me in! 

 

[eliastion]

Anybody else? Even with all this planning we still lack 2 DDs to even get things started  

[robihr]

and trying to get superleague to come to life... failed... had 13 people in queue.. well we will try this again tomorrow, same time same rules. hopefully we will get 14 dd

[eliastion]

SL proved to be more dead than predicted. Even with some concentrated previously-coordinated effort we didn't manage to get a match. Maybe tomorrow. Or next week, when more people hit R1? Or maybe when WG makes the rewards worthwhile never?

Well. Who knows...

[RUSSIANBlAS]

Sry,

 

My time in Ranked has kept me on 1 ship for too long.

 

I'm skating around all tiers and ships now...

[VeteranGamer84]

What will happen when a team wins this R1 match?

[eliastion]

What will happen when a team wins this R1 match?

 

Top 2 players get a container.

Incidentally, when a team loses the R1 match... top 2 players get a container.

 

Guess who's your actual enemy if you actually try to play seriously to get the reward provided generously by WG  

[robihr]

in spirit of ranked winning team should all get a container, but...

A container of a prem ship?

A container of a prem ship?

 

you get normal containers with a chance of SC. some people got ships from those containers, so...

[robihr]

should we try this today, or maybe wait for weekend?
