[NOCIT] EgyptOverseer Players 650 posts 6,924 battles Report post #1 Posted April 11, 2018 So apparently the new ranked season will be T8 up to Rank 10, then T10 from Rank 10 to 1. Guess I will not be repeating my rank 1 as I have no tier 10s and I have no desire to play my 2 tier 9s. Oh well... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miessa3 Beta Tester 1,650 posts 8,204 battles Report post #8 Posted April 11, 2018 So if it were an option to never give newer players without a Tier X Ship in port a Rank #1 Badge.... why didn't we do this from the start? It also silence all "p2w premium" arguments. I am all for it but you have to wonder why they only do it now. Hope WG doesn't give out rental ships for Ranked now too. Not sure about lowering the last save rank to 10 though. I would've rather let them play Tier X from Rank 12 on.. Now I regret not grinding the Z-52 faster though.

Yup because in this game you have to spend so much time and be so good to get to t10 with +200% xp camo + 3 flags +50%, +100%, +50% + 300% free xp + 777% free xp - and that new camo +777% and so on,, convert xp for dublons = that's why we have so much so skilled T10 players :( 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But, if you can be bothered with the grind, it is the most reliable way to get those special modules... Might even give it a serious go this time, after participating in CW for the first time - and the modules are handy for other game modes also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

albinbino Players 662 posts 11,080 battles Report post #14 Posted April 11, 2018 I dont have any problem if next ranked seasson is really tier 8 and 10, actually i think this could even be intresting in many aspects. It is ok and logical to mix thing up from seasson to seasson. But normally as always, no matter what WG chooses to do, many players will find some fault in it and be unhappy. Remember, that has been the case in every seasson so far with all the tiers involved :). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[XTREM] walter3kurtz Players 1,037 posts 10,820 battles Report post #15 Posted April 11, 2018 I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand tier 10 is a nice balanced tier with interesting ships. It also filters out some of the scrublords that buy their way into tier 8 and ruin ranked for everyone else. On the other hand tier 10 ships are kind of rare in most people's ports (I have 4, soon going to be 5) and the ranked meta requires that you have certain ships. Other tier 10's, while very good, only work in randoms. Yes this is also the case for other tiers but because getting a tier 10 takes such a lot of time you are out of options rather quick even if you have a few tier 10's. Tier 10 is also a bit of a bummer for the clan war players because they just grinded a couple hundred battles in that format, now they get to do that again but solo this time.

[TOXIC] eliastion Players 4,795 posts 12,260 battles Report post #23 Posted April 11, 2018 I wouldn't want Ranked to be like that always - but a single season at tX? Certainly a nice change of pace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capra76 Players 5,001 posts 7,787 battles Report post #24 Posted April 11, 2018 I can see arguments either way. On the plus side T10 is free of the P2W ships so it's a fair contest, and presumably WG wants to encourage more players into T9/10 to balance out the MM around T8. On the downside not everybody has that many T10 ships so MM may struggle to put together a game outside of peak hours. I wonder if they'll give out rental ships like they do with clan battles?

erolaattori Players 3 posts 6,219 battles Report post #25 Posted April 11, 2018 Yeh i started to play ranked as soon as i had the ships for it, and enjoyed it. This was since the t6 ranked, and i got to rank 1 my first season. Not really that hard, but was dissapointed to find out i could not play as rank 1 player anymore. I think it was t8 games then. And last season it was t8 games and again i got to rank 1. And again i could not play as rank 1 player cause it was t10. And now wg just slaps me in the face. Getting to t10 is ALOT of grinding and you need either a pemracamo or premium to sustain playing t10. So now the ranked is pay to win up to rank 10 and then its pay to play. Also ranked seasons have a f'ing millenia in between where i have to just endure all the crap in randoms. Might aswell stop playing. And you people applaudin wg for making ranked t10 please consider this: Who made the other tiers pay to win and refuses to balance them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
