This is more for the Devs to see ( like they even glance at the NA forums)

First you guys killed off CVs
Now you seem to be doing your best to kill off CAs.
I can stick with a game that has problems, hell i stuck with WOT back when T1 tanks could find themselves fighting T10.
But here in WoWs you don't even seem to recognize there is a problem with CAs.

Is there even a glimmer of hope you guys are working on the CAs problem or should i just move on?

You have to give them credit for trying. Things like radar and sonar were added well after the problem with cruisers started manifesting itself. Obviously we now empirically know that this failed to address the entirety of the root cause, but there's hope that further attempts will be made to balance cruisers in such a way as to make them popular without ruining the overall power equilibrium.

I'm loving this.

 

Everytime a BB player complains about something, it's "BBabies" this and "BBabies" that.

 

And this is like the 8th cruiser whine thread in 2 days.

Maybe that's because BBs if anything appear to be too popular, eh?

Well if you are lucky it will just be you and your BB buddies sniping at other from long range.

No more popular than DDs. Especially at the mid-tiers.

 

And contrary to what Wargaming says, this is not exclusive to the NA server. EU server's the same way.

 

I remember back at the start of open beta when the numbers were clearly biased toward cruisers, cruisers whined about how we just wanted it to be "world of battleships".

It's sweet, sweet music.

But not cruisers. Hence why people claim, not without reason, that cruisers could use a popularity boost. In MMOs this usually correlates with buffs, whether real or perceived.

Let's keep the politics out of it. Suffice it to say you're not going to earn any points with the few intellectuals left in this country.

I'm sorry, you were saying what again?  That BBs are unequivocally the most popular class?  It was hard to hear you over the sound of all that data. ;-)

Ramp4age made it clear he just wants CAs to be XP piñatas for his BB.

 

 

 

Oh this is beautiful irony.

What exactly is wrong with CAs? 

 

This thread is basically implying that there's something wrong with them because more people play classes that are more fun.

 

Because we need to mandate fun, apparently.

I don't recall either HRC or BA ever mentioning the word "rigged" in reference to the election. The effete mysogonist with the orange face though makes comments to it regularly.

 

Also, a down vote for pushing Fox News level politics in a gaming forum.

 

Unlike the old days cruisers not only have to deal with BBs but laser firing German and Russian CAs. I still run my Buddy, but the tactical envelope is so tight it's barely fun to play. BBs have it to easy in regards to being able to easily take out cruisers two tiers higher.

 

Enjoy the next 4 years, I know I will.

Am playing mid tier RN pretty much exclusively ATM, and am still having a blast.

 

Do I die a lot.....of course, but that is usually due to me doing something stupid(although "insta-deletions" are...irritating to say the least, something needs to be done there I think).

 

Cruisers are, in general, a squishy bunch, and require a higher skill factor, but if you play them right(and reduce the amount of stupid s*it you do), they are amazing.

 

My highest damage match out of all my ships is in the Leander( and I was a BB main for quite a while)...and that says a lot.

 

Do they need some attention.....probably, but nowhere near what has been suggested recently. Rework the "instant deletion" percentage a little, and maybe drop the citadel chance slightly as well(but not too much).

Well, you can count me right out. By this criterion I must have the IQ of an unplugged toaster.

Both mentioned it in answer to Trumps claims, even proof from 2008 and 2012, but since it was cheating for the Dems they don't think it was worth mentioning.  Also check out what they found in the recount in Detroit, nothing like a box of 50 votes getting counted as 306. (with all the dems signing off on it) crazy how quick the recount stopped after that popped up.

 

As to the game when a random BB at 15km can 1 salvo your cruiser it explains why they are not as fun to play, you have to be super aware and sometimes get super lucky to do well.  I think they should 1/2 the cit damage for cruiser, that would make them a lot more forgiving to play.  (and maybe fun)

Bad Cruiser players complain about BB citadels.

Bad Battleship players complain about HE fires.

 

Both sides are always crying, therefore its balanced. Good players make it work, the bad are left with their tears.

 

Nothing new here

I discovered premium consumables and I don't give two squirts of piss about fire anymore.

 

I felt like a noob. I had no idea they existed.

 

If anything should be done about fires, it's limit them to 2. Maybe 3. 4 is kind of insane at 1,200 damage/second. You can literally die from full health before DC cools down.
