Influx of non-NA players?

[Kraayt]

What the hell has happened to the game in the last couple of weeks.   Did we get a sudden rush of incompetent non-English speaking players that were kicked out of their home server because they sucked so badly?

The Randoms have just gone to hell in a handbasket.  Game after game of people that don't play, want to be carried and apparently don't speak the same language.   Whole divisions of them in some games.  

 

They want to kill the game for me, WG is well on the way after the last couple of weeks.

Maybe there are a bunch of Cajuns playing now? They speaking french?

 

[Kraayt]

Always been some Cajuns playing...might be some Creoles mixed in....but appears to me that the gamers are a bit more international than before on this server.

WG offered server transfers. Some people took them. Some of those don't speak English.

You can either try to be welcoming and helpful, ignore them, play another game mode, or transfer to another server yourself.

Anything else is just selfish and impolite.

I respectfully submit that the overall calibre of Random play can't get measurably worse.

[B0aty_McBoatface]

You do realize that English isn’t the only language North America speaks right? 
 

Or maybe you forgot that there was a server switch like a month ago? 
 

or maybe it’s just a string of bad luck like all of us have? Don’t forget, a lot of kids are on winter break right now so for the next few weeks every day is going to be a “Saturday” 

Ive noticed the teams get A LOT better after about 830-900 central time. Right about the time parents are telling their kids to get off the computer.

Server has always had players from North to South America on it. May just be more from South America because they are grinding out the snowflakes. Plus, a server swap event.

[Frigate007]

Maybe? This might explain what I have seen in battle. Lot less communication, and unusually passive play (which was bad enough before the update). Then again it could be more weekend warriors playing around the holidays? More kids? Getting wins yesterday was like pulling teeth, teams just wanted to mill around behind islands way below caps. Have noticed I have been bottom tier in last 37 battles with one exception in a all t8 battle.

 Actually the game is been in decline since the CV rework a lot of the really good players don't play randoms anymore and we had at influx of new players that are given upper level ships without having to work for it so have no experience at that level

 And they've destroyed the lower tiers by overload of griefers so the new player if he does make it wants to rush up to where there are fewer griefers again lacking experience

 So WG has made it this way,  I personally blame the bad battleship player which is WGs cash cow for how the game has been twisted to fit their needs meanwhile neglected for everybody else

Probably this.   Players that don't play, but doing the minimum to get through for the bonus.    Completely slipped my mind compared to the other excuses being offered up for lack of communication, participation and skill.

How do you figure the game has been catered to BB’s? I’d love to hear this explanation considering everything has been buffed over the past year EXCEPT BB. There is more HE spam than ever before, the AA was nerfed  which BB suffered for more than any type of ship, destroyers got that MASSIVE BUFF where they’re essentially untouchable by BB... so tell me... how have BB players ruined the game? Because I when I play (a bb main) I find myself having to cap more, defend more, kill more and do more than any other class while HE spammers sit behind islands and dmg farm and DD sit on the outskirts launching torps at max range and never hitting a thing...

To my surprise back in WoT, even to this day, there are many that don't know what North America means nor do they understand that it encompasses countries who speak languages other than English.  Maybe because its because I am prior service, and been all over the world, but still.  Come on school systems, teach these children geography.

 Lol it's fairly obvious if you really look everything in this game is built to make the battleship player happy

  But if you can't see it you're part of the problem but WG love you

That’s the new age for ya. Half these kids can’t tell you that The United States isn’t the only country in NA and that there are in fact like 10 other countries that make it up. 😂

If it’s so obvious please explain. I mean it’s obvious right? So it shouldn’t be hard to find reasons how it caters to BB players. Or you can just go the middle school route of “figure it out” and say nothing and make what you’re saying look as ridiculous as it sounds. Just because you have an opinion of something doesn’t make it true no matter how much you say “figure it out” or “if you don’t know what it is than you’re the problem” 

 

because the problem couldn’t possibly be the DD that don’t cap right? Or the cruisers that ignore DD in their face because their more interested in racking up damage like it’s something special. 
 

even HE spamming dd like haru and Friesland are getting into the cruiser dmg farming game now. The countless videos I have tabbed in a folder on my computer would show the countless times dd or cruisers have blatantly ignored DD 8 km in front of them because they’re more interested in setting fires on BB who are full health instead of the dd that are 1/4 health and then complain their BB did nothing after they get torped. Or complain that they’re sitting the back...

 Oh I have stated many times over the years

 And I don't feel like going into a rant right now 

It's my personal opinion you can take it or leave it 

I have spoken

But I’m asking you to explain it for me since I’m part of the problem, enlighten me so I’m not part of the problem anymore right? 
 

thanks for proving my point though that you have zero evidence to back up your claim that WG caters to BB

That's the easy way out . I don't see how everyone else has been neglected . There's He firing spamming CA and DDs all over the place . I will take some blame for bad BB play at times but you cant blame it all on one ship type .

Is there an SA server for Wows?  I know Wot has it because for some reason, I am in California and the game puts me in SA instead of Central US

As a dd main I’m not sure what you have to complain about with BB... I mean you have smoke to hide in, torps to fire that do an avg of 15-20 k dmg per torp above tier 8 and apparently you’re impervious to being damaged by 14 inch rounds and above.. there was 2 categories when that change occurred, those that believed the BB got a nerf and those that believe DD got a buff. I’m gonna guess you feel into that BB got “a much needed nerf” category and that enough wasn’t being done for DD. Because being able to take 9,  18 inch rounds and only losing half your hp just wasn’t enough.

But you clearly said BB’s were catered to. And when asked for an explanation you didn’t give one and now it’s not the class, it’s the players? 
 

dude... it’s people like you that get the ball rolling and people talking about nerfs and buffs that don’t need to happen because you single out one class of ship because you don’t like playing it. Lol... typical.

  fixed a obvious broken mechanic that they let run for years of a double dip, And again only people that can't kill a destroyer is the bad battleship player good belleship players can still level half damage from a destroyer with AP but knows they can kill them one shot with HE,   The bad battleship player doesn't know when to have it loaded where the good one does and knows where to expect them

 That's the only nerf I know of that the battleship player has got in 4 years

[SilverPhatShips]

And personally I have no complaints I like bad battleship players they're easy pickins

 But WG has catered to their needs over the years over and over again and that's why we have the game we have now

Yea one player type playing BBs you say nothing about the bad DD and CA captains or even worse the bad CV captain . How does WOWS cater to bad BB captains that's the question .

[surratus]

Don't worry.  If texting with my kids is any indication we'll all be speaking in emojis before long.
