rant.... nothing new

[TopDawg]

ok love the game but my biggest gripes are these:

 

1. Players who scream help me and when you come to help they bugger off and leave you in the pooh .

2. Players who all stream towards a cap and see 1 (ONE) enemy ship and run away in case they get shot at.

3. Groups of players all chasing 1 (ONE) ship for the kill while ignoring cries for help/the caps being taken by the enemy.

 

As I say nothing new but feel better for getting that of my chest...... 

 

 

(There are good players like the DD who stayed with me in my BB and we went on to wipe out the enemy.  The DD who laid smoke so I could escape for 4 ships hitting me.  The CV who sent his torps and bombers to assist me when things where deffo getting tough.  To those guys I say thank you and hope i can return the favour one day      )

The game is great, but its the people who made it as it is. Perfect example of "human stupidity" every game. My advice... make friends to people you had good games with. Start divisioning and have fun.

[RUSSIANBlAS]

The first example is better when they die and say "Thanks Team" or something as misguided...

Its even better when your division has 8 kills the score is 950 to enemies 200 and a potato on your team dies and says "thx team, no support noobs"

I only wish for some more team play .. and balls.

It breaks my heart to see full health BBs running away and hugging the border when they see a single enemy.

Or a Tashkient not wanting to go into the capzone even if it was cleared by our CV, and when you try to encourage him, he says "shut up, you dont know this ship".

 

I gave up giving advice to people, because most of the time they either ignore me or tell me to shup up .. and I am not much into arguing.

 

Such a shame ... game has tons of potential, but people just dont want to play and win. 

Today i seen tons of "wallet warriors", with ~45%wr, every prem ship and all T10 ships there is (with only a few games with T1-T9 ships).

People like this are not interested in teamplay, not interested in winning ... they just sail around doing absolutely god damn nothing. And this are the players WG protects and balances the game around.... sad.

 

I do know its FTP and this kind of players have to exist ... but still, its the players who make the game.

I am slowly progressing, but atm I am not sure where (and for how long) my career in the game will lead.

[lameoll]

the annoying part is your gonna get worked up about such people go on and fail yourself because your not paying attention.

 

i have that all too mutch  a lot of games are a loss with failing ppl like that. but the hope to turn it around goes away when u urself get worked up about it. 

[OttoZander]

Well, that is what you get when competitive, in most cases highly skilled players and casuals or weekend warriors are put together into the same match - some will not share your strive for victory, because they just came here to blow away a couple of hours of their time after finishing their homework.

4. Your the last player alive, fighting to survive and kill what you can, knowing you did better than 80% of your team mates, and then  "The Waking Dead" start slagging you off, and at the end, you read team scores, your top of the team scoreboard but still got bad karma.

The bad one for me is a DD player who does not move until his torps are loaded  have seen it a few times at first I thought about lag or slow loading the game, No they waiting for there torps to load before they move then usually just go around spamming ,One Game when in chat someone typed another AFK DD player actually said not AFK waiting for torps to load

and here im thinking their always afk ..... or have to load in

WoWs has the most intellectually challenged community ever. Every time I play, I feel rage building up. Be it BBs camping at the map border, circling D on the map North, DDs yoloing or sitting back and spamming torps from max distance without spotting, or CAs getting deleted within the first 2 minutes.

WoWs should save the data of this game so future governments may know who to castrate in order to improve the human genome. Sounds harsh? That's how DUMB the average players in this game is.

It is not as if the game actually encourages team play.
There are no rewards for staying near your allies, what rewards exist, such as the rewards for capping, are too low.

In order to cap, you need to be able to stay hidden, which is now next to impossible.

Every time I try to cap in my DD, I am either spotted by an enemy DD, hydro, or radar.

I then have to dodge shells and torpedoes from half the enemy fleet, while most often, IF there are ships able to support me, they either just don't or they focus a full-HP enemy BB, and hammer away at it until it ALMOST sinks, but by then the game is lost.

Or they just hide behind islands and don't even have an angle to cover me, so by the time they can help, it is too late.

Getting out after being spotted is often next to impossible.

Radar is unforgiving and ships hiding in smoke are difficult to hit, even if you aim for the muzzle flashes.

Trying to torpedo them results in showing your broadside, so you die even more quickly.

There are often three or more cap zones, which result in the team splitting up to AC, or at least on both sides of one or more islands, thereby unable to help each other.

 

Yes, inexperienced players, or players who just don't care about working together, are in part to blame.

But everything in this game is stacked against team play.

There are no rewards for that, or at the very least, far too few.

 

There could be training missions in which an allied ship yells for help and you have to take out the enemy shooting at it.

There could be training missions in which you are taught to switch fire to whichever target is most urgent for your class of ship.

There could be rewards for hitting a target that was designated by an ally, or for taking out a ship that was actively shooting an ally.

None of that exists.

As a result, most people are clueless.

Most people don't even care about the caps, they just want to win by sinking ships, do the most amount of damage that they can, then blame the loss on the rest of their team.

 

I for one blame the whole 'capping' element.

It makes no historical sense and it leads to people going off on their own, meeting too much resistance and dying without anything to show for it, etcetera.

There should at least be a trial of a deathmatch mode, where all that counts is the amount of damage done to the enemy.

Most people can understand that.

 

Failing that, there should be rewards for people doing their jobs.

How about an extra rewards for capping, not just XP points, but a small container with a signal flag or something?

Or rewards for helping out an ally?

 

On the flip side, how about penalties for running away from the battle and firing from maximum range?

Or a good, old nerf for long range BB fire?

 

Educating the player base should be a start, but little to none has been done to address the underlying problems, all I see is treating the symptoms.

Good grief, is that what it is?

Seen it so often, especially when not playing a DD myself..

DD doesn't move, cap is uncontested, we are behind from the start.

Holy crap..

Special shout out goes to the idiot just now on Epicentre Tears of the Desert who said "0 Teamplay 0 Strategi" (yes, spelt that way) who was sailing into A1 square with his Benson trying to solo kill a Bismarck.

 

I hope he was speaking out aloud about himself...

Well, if there ever was a reason to just sail to A1, tears of the desert all hope - epicenter mode, would be the one....

[twicku]

weekend warriors.......... must admit, becoming a blur when the weekend starts now. from Friday till Tuesday at the moment.

[TopDawg]

lots of good comments.

 

Just ahd the no balls scenario dd staying away from a CA behind an island cause there was a DD "in the vicinity" then run like like mad when it appeared

 

If any one any sees me in game div me up cannot promise we will win but at least go down fighting with 1 team player rather then none

[RUSSIANBlAS]

So many "special" players 

 

Just had another guy who was loaded up to the hilt with flag buffs, a Ranked camo and Jolly Roger 3 in a Shira.

 

Yeah it wasn't going too well but instead of taking any sort of leadership or having a plan the guy kept calling out our team as "ret@ards"...

 

Needless to say we lost and he gave the usual "blah blah bad team" in all chat. He then told me to F off when I said "get over yourself" or something 

 

 

[Skurfa]

"A+B".... and a cruiser and BB sets off towards C, cruiser gets killed, and the BB starts running away, towards the closest corner, in the opposite direction of the rest of the team...... 10K before getting killed and now surrounded by 5 enemies, he starts sending "SOS""SOS""SOS".....

+ when he dies he rants in the chat.

Its not easy to be a noob... You lose a awful lot. lol

[Kaptain_Tripps]

It's the idiots that sail serenely towards the enemy cap as slowly as you like while a couple of guys are desperately holding off the enemy advance for several minutes begging for help. Wouldn't be so bad if they actually pushed hard to race for the cap but no, they always seem to get stalled by just a handful of enemies, and don't even think about heading back for a reset until it's 75% done.

 

[Luis_Crespo]

I am not that worried about bad players. Hey, I am rather potatoish myself, so no anger at them. What makes me hit my fists against the desk is the irrationally coward guys. After all no one is harmed in this battles. They are FAKE battles for God´s sake. Yoloing may be bad for teamplay, but sure can be fun. I once run my Derpitz full ahead flank through the throat in ¿is it Two Brothers? No one saw me until I materialized at the other side, some 5 km away from a Yamato´s stern. I ran into a firing frenzy and managed to inflict 90+K damage on him. Of course I died on minute 3. Now I know one should not do that kinds o things, and I don´t anymore. But I had great fun that day. How can running all scared towards the corner be fun for anyone?

When I reached some 500 battles I realized my performance was well below average, and started reading and watching videos. Finally I decided to mothball my beloved Tirpitz and Scharnhorst and Gneisenau and go back down to tier I and started over from Hermelin 101. My gameplay is slowly but steadily improving, and I´m now at tier III with 769 battles. I gess I can be at tier 8 again in a year so so  from now... well maybe I take my Gneisenau out for a ride now and then 

[RenamedUser_92906789]

agreed. Cowardeness and selfishness.

 

When in my BB im not afraid to push. But way to often everyone just turns away and runs leaving me alone in the caps.

Not to mention when this happens a friendly DD lays a smoke 3 km away from me (behind me - outside the cap) and sits there watching me get wrecked. 

 

Just the other day ive seen a division of two BBs (Gneisenaus) going up the "giant vagina of death" in Two Brothers map right at the start.

When they died miserable I said that that is one of the dumbest moves Ive seen for a long time.

Both of them cursed me the entire remaining game, laughing at me at every hit i got and insulted me twice per 10 seconds at least.

Guess what ... both < 35% WR BB only players. If they have the energy to persist insulting for 10 minutes in the chat, they should have the energy to learn the damn game. When I returned to port, they both continued with insults until I blocked them both and reported them for "misbehave in chat".

[Thracen]

Helplessness, what absolutely salts my ocean is helplessness.

 

Spawn in a T9 match in my NC with a T9 german DD just us 2 on the map edge, I support him while turning for my team. Before I make it I am killed in a single strike by an Essex. There was nothing I could do, nothing. What's more is that I had a full AA build and double fighters up. I killed 3 planes, no torp planes just dive bombers. This should not happen. No ship should be fish food in the first 2 minutes of the game barring complete brainlessness, let alone doing everything right. It's disgusting!

 

FIX THIS!, these instant early game deaths cost real money when people are buying flags and camos, it is just terrible, shameful, incompetent game design.
