Its the mode for the Masochist among us... The ones who like slow agony of the grind... The ones who after its over, thirst for more of the same treatment... All the recent changes were more on the functionality and the look of the progression (as if to put a "new presentation" to the same ol in game experience). I've said it once and i'll said it again... It takes a unique individual to "Rank out." The statement still hold true even today... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why are people saying no CV? My second match had a CV in it. T8 ships are in Bronze, which include CVs. Silver is T9 and T10, so yeah, CVs there too. Gold is T10... CVs there in all 3 leagues. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
656 [WOLFX] dechion Beta Testers, In AlfaTesters 1,500 posts 5,265 battles Report post #8 Posted February 18, 2021 I'm rather enjoying the progress rewards being tied to number of wins as opposed to ranks.

Ranked without a CV present gives you a chance to carry. Deadeye and HE spam are not nearly is lethal. You can actually use other builds that would otherwise never work in randoms.

This made me laugh, not in the insulting way... It was more reflective on perspective... You're maybe right... Its all how one perceives the in-game play as Masochists. In that regard.. I have nothing to counter or to make you think as well.. Check mate... Only to point out... Rank is goal oriented (ranking out) while random has less emphasis on goals other then CM. Some people react to serious in a Rank match... Its down right hilarious at times. Only for this point, I think Rank takes it... But I can see how clicking BATTLE for 19,200 times, can entitle them to the Masochists ranks... Edited February 18, 2021 by Navalpride33 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree it can get toxic when the try hards rage. I don't go into ranked with that mindset. I simply enjoy 7 VS 7 Format .

I guess i only saw one in my 3-5 ish games yesterday and must have blocked it out. and so in my mind it was only tier 9 ranked since that’s what i’m grinding Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't bother replying because it will be nonsensical. Actually not sure what you mean since steel has been a reward for ranked for several seasons now... and i have played this season, my principal complaint is tat rewards have been greatly nerfed vis a vis the previous history of ranked modes over the last 5 years!

He means the steel is awarded for cumulative wins, not for achieving certain ranks. So you can yo-yo forever and never go above Rank 9, but still get most of the steel reward. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have never played rank much. Its maddening to go up and down. At least now there are rewards for win that dont go away on a loss. Some steal is better than none.

You realize they nerfed CVs XP earning potential to the point where it is practically impossible for a CV to" save a star" right? Unless the rest of your team is so terrible that they hide their stats that is. Or didn't Flamu/Flambass mention that?
