90 ObviousAlt Members 276 posts 498 battles Report post #1 Posted August 14, 2017 While doing the UK mission in co-op this week, I started wondering why players are forced into games in co-op when it's supposed to be a more relaxed arena? I realize it's pointless to ask for options for Random, WG has shot them in themselves in the foot so often that we simply don't have the population to offer many options there, but what difference would it make in co-op??? In co-op you're constantly subjected to absurdly bad CV pilots and CV farmers who aren't there for you at all. Yet you still have to deal with their opposite number. Why? What difference would it make to offer players options to opt out of things? Hate Carriers? Opt out. Want to play tier 6 and not get rolled into a tier 8 battle? Opt out. There is absolutely no logical reason for not offering options in co-op, and the lack of options in this game hasn't helped it one bit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the contrary, I've never been even a little clumsy. I've never broken a bone or have had an injury more serious than a torn ligament. You're just not addressing the issue at all. I may as well point out that you're getting worse at the game or something. It makes an equal amount of sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, that's what happens when you take 20 days away from the game, you fall out of practice and lose skill. I did address the issue. This person wants special treatment for their gamemode so they don't have to experience difficulty and can live in their baby safe game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adding options, as you put it, increases queue times - drastically, depending on what you want. This necessitates more bots to reduce queue times, which results in more costs. You're suggesting WG spend money to implement something to cost them money, with questionable benefit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On several occasions you have mentioned without anime in your life, you would commit suicide, this may seem perfectly normally to you, but I'm sure a professional would have something else to say on the matter.
