Hopefully this ranked season mechanic (splitting people into leagues) will be used in randoms somehow....then all the bots can fight the bots ;)

It also tells you in that obnoxious screen that when you return to port, your current ship will be unlocked - which doesn't happen till the battle is over.

Free 21 point captains (so free elite commander XP). Doesnt impact your stats....whats not to love ;)

WoWs Players: give us something new! We want something different, even if its not earth shattering. Change of pace, different mode, anything... Devs: Offers Something new. WoWs Players: Ugh, this sucks, give us something ELSE new!......Why don't you listen to us??

Them: DD, get in there and cap! What are you waiting for! The game is about caps! DD: Dies due to concentrated fire that he was trying to avoid, but wanted to be a good teammate. Them: Well Done! Noob DD died LOL! Post Game: You have been reported. - Karma. People in this game are funny.

No. The site was Ship Comrade, and you could actually see the specific people who topped the boards for different things. Like if you wanted to know who had done the most damage in PVP in a Gearing, it showed you and listed what server they were on, etc. The site apparently lost funding and went down.

There is a website, or at least there was, in which they had this stuff listed for all servers, searchable by whatever you wanted. Can't remember the name though. @LittlewhiteMouse was part of it I think.

I will say this...if you get an FDR on one team and 2 BBs on the other...you are going to have a bad day. I'd like to see anyone win on the BB team in this scenario (assuming the FDR isnt AFK).

What is funny to me is, its normal maps, with 5 players. They specifically adjust the clan battle maps to be smaller, to accommodate less players, and then throw even less players into essentially a larger map. I suppoose they wanted to make this as different as possible from clan battles. The asymmetrical MM is annoying, but ....it can fun too:

As a pirate, I was rarely, and I do mean rarely in a battle without at least 1 other pirate. They were not hard to find. You yourself stated you had a 50% rate or so. I even had complaints that people wanted LESS pirates, for various reasons. This is an event that had really 0 negative impact on people, and had a positive impact on a bunch of players and volunteers, and was done almost entirely without forcing WG to spend development resources on it. Overall, I think its pretty cool. Of course, you can't please everyone (even troll accounts like this one...who wasn't even logged in during the event).

You have a dead Petro in your game, therefore I hereby deem the screenshot 100% photoshopped.

Pretty common idea in the gaming industry, that if you buy something, it may change or may not always be as "effective" as when you bought it. Never understood why this was such a big deal here really. Anything I spent money on here, I do so with a clear understanding that it may et changed, nerfed, buffed, or have its effectiveness changed by changes in gameplay. I can understand being upset if your shiny new ship gets changed after purchase, but you have to look at it from the perspective that you never actually bought anything. You just paid for the chance to access a virtual item. This isn't like you bought a car and the company came to your house and swapped out the engine. You own that car. You don't "own" anything really here. My 2 cents I guess. Buyer beware.

Welcome to online gaming. Step 1 - Hide your stats if people are using them against you. Step 2 - Blacklist so they can't message you. Step 3 - Grab the replay and send it with a ticket to WG. You won't get anything but a canned response, but its all you can do.

If there are only 2 caps, one on each side and each ta starts with one in their possession, the team that caps auto wins. It could be 1 on 12, if that one manages to get the cap, they win regardless if points. Think this is the standard battle type. As is said above, assuming you are not taking damage, 2 ships in a cap will cap out faster than 1. If you are taking damage, then it gets complicated. Ultimately this is a part if the game that is not explained well at all, and not at all in game. Since teams only have a short time to discuss it, you'll get called names till you ask or research it yourself. Welcome to World or Warships.

and then when this drives people out from their islands, the same people who like this type of thing will also complain about people getting erased early in the game.
