I do not want to say bad but it was not good as to many teams just vaporized so quickly. After looking back at the majority of the games i dare to blame most of it on Match Making. Not the matching of the ships but the balancing of the talent among the two teams. When you have 3 players from MLGB and 2 palyers from OPGS and another player from MIA all on the enemy team all with 60% or better WR and your team has none of the above well at the 12 minute mark it was check mate game over. This was the case match after match one team loaded the other team not and the games never made it to the halfway mark. I literally fired 3 salvos in my Kurfurst one match before the team went negative and the match was over. I wish they could design MM to balance teams better player wise but i guess it is their way of making sure you get challenged on some weekends for all the killing you did during the week lol.

1,145 [ARGSY] centarina Members 10,326 posts 16,093 battles Report post #5 Posted September 18, 2017 it gets worse with campaign mission on weekend because so many are worried more about their mission objective compared to winning. add in unicum divisions and you have even worse romp. I've seen lot of CVs as well , which compounds the situation. at least they are fixing smoke so BBs can't hide anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree lots of CV action and some impressive displays from some Graf players. I witnessed a N.C get deleted from almost full health in 1 strike and a Bismarck almost get deleted in 1 strike if he had not started repairing just before the bombers hit.

This was a reverse weekend for me. I should probably have gone to a Casino. I had Such good luck on Friday and Saturday that I didn't even play Sunday for fear of ruining a good weekend winning team streak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
17 [WOLF4] Batavian1 Members 168 posts 3,879 battles Report post #8 Posted September 18, 2017 I had a very good weekend. MM seems to be working better than ever. I had some of my best games, even in losing efforts. Very close, very fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

3,508 [RKLES] Admiral_Thrawn_1 Members 12,557 posts 14,317 battles Report post #11 Posted September 18, 2017 Premium time, +200% XP bonuses, decent to good team teams, had a good supply of special camo and Signal Flags saved up so I made out quite well. Gained the last few thousand XP needed for Amagi, got Amagi mostly upgraded and the Captain quickly trained, plus put some good XP totals on some other ships and huge pile of free XP. Yes very good weekend lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course also had a few games where my own team got curb stomped into the ground too..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
278 [RZN] Frederick_The_Great Members 1,725 posts 11,839 battles Report post #13 Posted September 18, 2017 pretty much a pattern of my team losing quickly, followed by the enemy the next match. some matches were over before you could even do anything. very very few went until the end of the match. quite a few matches felt like no matter how well i played, the match was over 5 minutes prior.

1,345 Chaos_EN2 ∞ Members 4,203 posts 8,877 battles Report post #16 Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) I had above average weekend, thanks to the Camo and signal flags, I got all the needed XP one of the Cruisers I wanted, and working my up towards the XP needed for my first Tier 7 battleship, just got to save up the credits for both now. Did not get some of the special collection done, thanks to work (God I hate call-offs), but had fun and that is the main thing.

306 [UDEAD] NCC81701 Beta Testers 994 posts 12,366 battles Report post #22 Posted September 18, 2017 Confirmation bias? Expectation too high? Your WR over the weekend was 60%, I doubt most people would consider that as bad. You generally have to fight like hell for most games to maintain a WR that high, so it's not really a weekend thing.

805 [WOLF9] Fletcher7_1944 Members 4,651 posts Report post #25 Posted September 19, 2017 Mine was all over the place. I managed to spam enough DD matches to finish the DD weekend missions, finished the collection, etc. However, Sunday I couldn't BUY a decent game... Nothing but crappy low damage matches- primarily due to the massive numbers of people using pve as easy mode to do missions. This was present all weekend, but Sunday was the worst as people tried to beat the clock... I ended up shutting the game off in disgust. I did manage one really good romp in Izzy: The red BB's kept coming right for me- while shooting at my pal in a BB. One after the other after the other,lol. I did what any self respecting RU DD captain would do: Hammered them relentlessly with HE- while moving into torp range. I ended up wiping out half the enemy team this way, before the CV got wise and cut my party short,lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
