Azalgor Beta Tester 1,046 posts 20,419 battles Report post #4 Posted August 21, 2017 Yeah, those WoWWGsomething BOTs are awesome, and having 2-3 in the team is pretty much a guaranteed loss, as the only thing they are capable is pressing the 'w' key and sail straigt till they die or hit an obstacle...Good thing is they mostly play tier 8+, so there is a sanctuary zone with less chances of meeting them.

[DD445] KurtVonSteiger Weekend Tester 382 posts 38,087 battles Report post #6 Posted August 21, 2017 OP refers to all the free accounts at Gamescon allowing anyone to play (usually at the highest tiers) All the goodness like 'how do I launch torpedos? - oops! ,just sank our Yamato'. "Sorry!" Etc....not pretty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You used to think weekend teams were bad? This weekend teams will be special. Jeah brace yourselfs, Though I have to say I am one of them every year at least once. (been to Gamescom like 5 (or 6? ) years in a row now) Though I would say I bring more skill with me that 80% of the "player" standing in queue there Last year was bad though. They would only let you play for like 8-10 Minutes or so (including tingling in Port) Well we all know how that ended...... 7 minutes ago, RAHJAILARI said: Please explain some more 22cm All at gamescom that managed to survive the long queuetime get to play with special "pressaccounts" that have almost every ship (except the very rare premiums) unlocked and stock in port (sometimes even more than that like with the german BBs 2? years ago - hope i get to play the new RN BBs ). Which results in complete Newbs/Noobs to have access to all the "big" ships but with having 0 clue what the eff they are doing. Then on top comes when they have to leave midgame when time is up.....

As per usual 22cm makes a mountain out of a grain of sand. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[DD445] KurtVonSteiger Weekend Tester 382 posts 38,087 battles Report post #13 Posted August 21, 2017 Well, smaller player base this year compared to last and the games com crowd usually gravitate to the highest tiers so not a problem in low to kids but it does happen in the T8 - T10 band.

[CAIN] Jethro_Grey Players 5,207 posts 25,733 battles Report post #16 Posted August 21, 2017 A couple drops of pee don't make a difference in the ocean of $hit that is 95% of WoWS playerbase. Still, my daily chat ban is about to run out, so i'll stick with WoT for now with the odd WoWS game now and then. I will try my best to not get chat banned and collect a bit of karma in the few games i'll play to be ready for the special guests this weekend. I have my ways to greet special players and make them feel welcome with a warm and fuzzy feeling. ^^ 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Teob_ Players 1,625 posts 14,901 battles Report post #25 Posted August 21, 2017 I only ran into 1-2 Gamescom accounts last year so I doubt it will be that bad. However, I think that those accounts should be limited to Coop only. It's a better experience for them. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
