The rare "rage-quit"

[Nechrom]

So I'll start off with saying that I'm not someone who usually rage-quits or otherwise let bad battles get to me after I'm back in port.

But this morning was really brutal.

I'll try to keep it short and concise so I don't have to add a tl;dr.

 

So I've been trying to get the last achievement for the 2nd anniversary (15k gun and 30k torp damage with IJN alt line DDs).

It has been tough and to be honest I've not even been close.

But it all came to a head when I was playing the Akizuki and had been doing well in a battle, up to the last minutes when the game freezes my computer completely. Takes no input at all, so power-button it is. Starting up the PC again and booting the game. Of course since WG don't think it's needed to cache battle results (like they do in WoT), I don't get to see how I did in that battle.

Okay, jump into a new Akizuki battle. Not even 1 minute in enemy Hiryu's TBs beeline for me straight off the bat and easily cross-drops my "BB turning circle"-DD deleting me instantly. At this point I'm pretty close to the edge and starts raging at our Hiryu who is doing the good old "bunch ever squad up into a single tiny ball"-strategy on the other side of the map.

With a sour taste in my mouth I do what I probably shouldn't do at that point and rage-queue up in the Kaga.

First thing that happens: Stuck at the battle loading screen. Kill the process, restart the game and load into the battle without the initiative I should have. What do it see...

*drumroll* ---- F***ING ENEMY AS RANGER.

I do what I can, but that's not much when a strafe on his squads kills 2 planes and he never even tries to strafe, just clicks my squads and burns them down in <10 sec with no losses using 1/10 of his ammo.

The icing on the crap-cake is seeing his massive score for killing 60+ planes while actually doing less damage than the handful of torp hits I managed to get through, with his uncontested DBs.

 

That's what it takes for me to just give up and do something else.

It happens so rarely that I can't even remember the last time it happened.

 

Is this strange or pretty normal? Does anyone else have the same general threshold for giving up?

[SteDorff]

If I had 2 losses specially when 'weird battles' I log off come back hours later I then have a loss again I log off for the day and return next day . If there would be a crash or lag the first battle I also would stay out because it is likely to stay for a while.

 

There still enough time to collect the items. I repeat the quests that I am good at then when I got enough duplicats I exchange them no hurry 5 quests I can't do because I don't have the ships 3 of them I know are going to be tough/repeat/time consuming so I skip them also. So I am going at a pace of 6 to 8 (now duplicates) a day. 

[mtm78]

I am playing really badly last couple of days, guess not playing much and then coming back thinking there is no ring rust... yeah there kinda is. 

 

This makes me do stupid things, which get me bad results which makes me rage which makes me do stupid things which lead to bad results which make me rage more. Guess I will keep going till I git gud again, till then the rage seems to be part of the game.

[RUSSIANBlAS]

Those achievements were mildly annoying but I did both alt IJN and RU DD ones last night. 

 

Frustratingly I got 120k+ in Udaloi bit was 100% torp damage, no idea how.

 

I think I essentially suicided after getting both achievements as it tells you real time when you hit it.

[EmilyFara]

Game crashing at random is something that would severely annoy me.

But the thing that can get me to rage out is generally my own stupid mistakes. Especially mistakes I shouldn't be making. Like having that little voice in the back of your head saying 'slow down, probably torps' and then thinking 'nah, the DDs were last spotted from the other side of the map' right before seeing torps and sinking. I knew they were coming and did not acted on it *rage inducing*.

Or catching a torp straight on my nose in a DD, completely crippling me for the rest of the match.

What else...  Oh, people bumping me out of my own smoke... that is one of the rare things that someone else can do that would piss me off.

That happened to me twice yesterday. In my RN cruiser i smoke up, when two friendly BBs rush my smoke and push me out for the enemy to annihilate me.

What pisses me off when I said: "thanks, who needs enemies with allies like this", they said "shut up noob". Wow ... just WOW. Both orange potatoes.

If you bump me out of my smoke on purpose you're eating a fistfull of fishes, you're part of the enemy team. Especially babies, the need to grow some ffin balls and stay the F out of my smoke the .........

[Yuzral]

Generally 2 or 3 bad games are enough to make me bale for a bit on the basis that I'm off my game.  So yeah, been there, done that, got the blood pressure.

I get it if you do it by accident (panicked or overestimate brake time), but to do it on purpose (he was charging and using me as a brake) and then even mocking me after i get killed ... thats just over the top.

Dumped my reports on him, but thats little comfort...

 

[mtm78]

I got pushed out of my smoke like that twice in all my battles. Both time by German BB's. Both times the guy in chat told me that smoke is lame... guess I burned their babyboats when they met me on enemy team. 

 

Guess that is one of the reason why I don't like seeing German 'sniper' babies... 

[Admiral_noodle]

I get over my raging pretty quick. But usually it's RNG or my own stupidity that will cause me a temporary rage quit. Being one shot, crashing into islands not clear on the minimap and being focussed by CV are usually cause for a step back. 

 

If i start whining in chat then I know I need a cool down

Don't try it.

Instead try to do what you normally do, I don't know about you, but having to do whatever can put a pressure on a person and the performance drops.

there's days where we  enter the game in an off-side, better quit, go do something else than come back fresh.

 

Yeah, this last week, a lot of afk scenarios (all that you described) only to came back to see my ship wrecked, was detonated twice in a row.

One guy that detonate me said.

-lol

-sorry about you

I replied

-sorry to WG, not me.

his reply

-yeap

 

 

[Vanhal]

I was very very close today after 5 co-op games where i didn't manage to do the 2 kills achievment even once.

 

Mass killstealing. On co-op. Jesus.

Yesterday I put a smoke up in a cap in my KM DD, activated SONAR and started shelling. An Udaloi bumped into me, pushing me to the edge, bumbed into me again, on the edge and bumped to me again. That made me rage a bit (IRL only, never in chat).

After that, a BB got killed... and he started complaining 'Not even 1 smoke received from the DDs! Poor DD players!'. But he just asked for smoke once, to a DD that just used his smoke. And I wasn't in position to assist. With the current mechanics I am dead without my cloaking generator. And a bloody BB shouldn't need smoke when also island hugging. Can't wait for the BB smoke nerf to come in effect.

I will never teamkill... intentionally that is.

Tbf it happened once and yes I team killed bad martian is bad. Still feel pretty ok about it, especially since I asked him in chat before I torped him. Push me out of my smoke intentionally because you're a crying baddie which I burned to death in one of the games before and then even tell me that in chat is a nice way to not feel that bad about sending him full broadside fishes from my Kutuzov.

 Oh, not judging. I will just never intentionally teamkill.

I don´t teamkill, I leave them alive with 1k HP. Problem?

[Jimbomaxi]

Own mistakes (wich I perform on a regurarly basis ) and getting torped by allied when I have invested in expensive signals and camouflage pisses me off. Oh, and losing battles because teammates dont even understand they have to cap. Lost one yesterday (I was already at the bottom of the sea), we had 4-5 ships left, enemy only got two, badly injured. We lost anyway, because time was running out, and no one in my team even tried to get the caps, allthough all they had to do was to sail straight in to them ,no enemies even in range to fire at them...

I will preferably teamkill them by getting them to shoot me when they are pink already (  ). Sadly most know this and don't oblige, and those who do aren't pink long enough to actually get the reflection I need for them to die before I take to much damage  

 

Maybe I was wrong, and this pink but you can't shoot them isn't actually better as being blue in WoT.

I actually prefer them to tk me.

But I agree that the reflected damage is better than the WoT way (as I understand it). Because if they get punished by not doing damage to the team, but getting that damage applied to themselves. That would make them think twice when doing that and you won't loose the extra guns (or at least the extra health). But in WoT where you can (apparently) shoot the person flagged as a tk'er, you will always be 1 team member down since the start of the match. Maybe in WoT this isn't that much of a biggie, but in WoWS 1 ship can really make a difference... The amount of times where I had a victory where I can point to several moments along the way where the victory could be fucked up, but didn't because of the actions of a single person is to damn high.

[mtm78]

Man I seen a guy get solo warrior by just being pink AFK ( loaded into battle, turrets turned but ship didn't move entire game ). So yeah having them alive does sometimes make a difference :D

[Exocet6951]

Just came from a match in a Farragut where, along with another DD, we held one flank by ourselves, killing the two enemy DDs AND making their CV hover his planes over both of us all match AND drove 2 BBs crazy.

5 minutes later, half the team is dead.
A minute later, I get an Iron Duke telling me "noob DDs lost the match for us"

I look at the post match result, he's middle of the scoreboard, and I have 50% more base xp in a defeat than the runner up all while having killed more planes than everyone else except for the CV despite having a grand total of 16 dps at 5km and irrelevant amounts of dps with machineguns.

I did the one thing I felt was appropriate.
I messaged him afterwards, called him a ****  who can't even manage a 50% WR despite seal clubbing with a Clemson and alt F4'd


Weekends...

[mtm78]

I rage quit an Udaloi game today. Mong in Iowa was complaining about DD's in his team being useless. I tried to tell him I been pretty busy but the guy had a big mouth for a lousy 57% wr player. 

 

In the end I just could not take it anymore, stopped in the middle of the map and let enemy kill me ( while still shooting back... ).

 

Game ends - 3rd in team.. the Iowa was in the bottom of the list as usual. 

 

Rage quit = bad mkay.... but this guy just did make me do it as I can't stand carrying shitters like that I rather die and play a different game.

I exited out of a battle today in the Nelson, where we started with 3 v 4 DDs and then within 5 min all 3 of our DDs died and only 1 of theirs.

I also got triple citadelled across the map 20km away by a Tirpitz, leaving me on 15% health with no ability to use even a single heal.
