I found the gif on the new commander skills looked oddly familiar. Does this somewhat confirm the leaked skill revamp? Discuss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1,593 [CRMSN] Cobraclutch Beta Testers, In AlfaTesters 6,021 posts 4,739 battles Report post #3 Posted December 17, 2016 Seems like it. Comparing the icons from the leaked information and this, seems to be exact. All what remains is a confirmation of the attributes.

2,889 [HINON] Phoenix_jz Members 7,797 posts 2,144 battles Report post #4 Posted December 17, 2016 I remember hearing the devs didn't think some of them were balanced... I'm pretty sure Keen Awareness (I think that was the name) was one of them, so I imagine some things have been changed since the last leak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We can see that KI is there in some form. The question as you stated is how and what does it do now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
627 [MAHAN] AdmiralPiett Beta Testers 1,605 posts 7,195 battles Report post #6 Posted December 17, 2016 Hmmm. Looks like a nice tree. I will be quite happy with the captains I have built in my mind if there are aren't radical changes before release. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The question as you stated is how and what does it do now. They said in the latest Q&A that some of the skills were lacking in balance and were in the process of being reworked. I'm fairly sure HEAP and Keen Intuition will have fallen under that category Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1,179 [SYN] chewonit [SYN] Beta Testers 2,557 posts 15,221 battles Report post #12 Posted December 17, 2016 I don't see how they can make KI useful and not OPAF. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4,053 [SYN] MrDeaf Members 16,027 posts 12,803 battles Report post #13 Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) I don't see how they can make KI useful and not OPAF. I think someone on the EU forum suggested something like how it could increase minimum detection range, much like target acquisition mod and WG dev agreed with it. Although, we can't be for certain how WG decided to make it not OPAF. DD captains should take note of how BFT is now a T3 skill. Most likely, DD captains will now take skills as such... 1pt Smoke God (SG) 2pt LS 3pt SI 4pt CE Total 10pts Followed up by skills like... 2pt TAE / EM 3pt DE / BFT 4pt AFT / HEAP / SE Total 9pts Which means lots of tailoring for player style and ship, and no longer cookie cutter for everything. And, depending on what KI does, there can be more wrenches to throw into the cookie cutter. Edited December 17, 2016 by MrDeaf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
140 [PNP] hawkai Beta Testers 886 posts 19,429 battles Report post #14 Posted December 17, 2016 I think this time I will wait and just run a couple ships and play with them to see how they do, last time they had a reset, I did all my ships and then latter on had to pay a bunch to change them out again, got way more ships now 146, think I will do this slowly this time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1,329 Canadatron Members 5,206 posts 3,461 battles Report post #15 Posted December 17, 2016 I'll just be happy when they settle on something finally. It is a little tiring to have to be in a constant state of Flux within the game. I can only hope that Keen Intuition has changed, what a nonsense skill.

How, even that yamato will only pull 95mm of pen. DD's will max at 27mm for the 130mm's, and CL's will be 31 and CA's, 43. None of thats especially OP. If anything it's a really crappy skill.
