213 GEOCHUCKGEO Members 124 posts 11,048 battles Report post #1 Posted September 7, 2021 We were up 8 ships to 4, with all four (ABCD) in Green, and 846 to 234 with six minutes to go. Finally, up 960 to 480, with Red gaining steadily. Then they took out 6 ships in about 3 minutes. Finally, needing only 30 points to Win, they took out our remaining ship. I did my part, and put damage to the Reds, but died in an onslaught (no cover for my BB, but I try). But it was truly Pitiful to sit there and watch the last 5 minutes. It was like a match between Major League Baseball All-Stars, against the T-Shirts. I'll have Nightmares for a week. But makes the game (it wasn't an X to X matchup) interesting, and at least a good laugh. 2 2 7 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You sit in your spawn in thunderer while you let your team die and you lose. I now understand why in the 10+ times I’ve encountered in randoms you’ve lost every time. And you were the last alive on your team every time I can remember. Sitting in your spawn ain’t a great tactic given your disturbingly low win rate even after 3000 games in your favorite ship.

424 BarnacleCollector Members 759 posts 35,186 battles Report post #10 Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) I've seen GEO several times and he was useless every single one of them. That guy would put the extra range modification in every upgrade slot on his Thunderer if he could. What's pitiful is his performance every game and his resulting win rate.

You do realise that on an internet gaming forum, "at least I was a real soldier/sailor/pilot" is equivalent to, "my dad can beat up your dad", right? Or, look at it another way. You're in enemy territory. Here, the keyboard warriors are the big dogs. When you choose to visit an artificial world, you're not in Kansas anymore. 3 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair, if you factor in the win bonus, the winning team had the best and worst players, everybody else was fairly similarly matched, results wise.

You made hitting my 164k average in Ragnar nice and easy that game. 1 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1,130 [SAINT] Jolly_Rodgered [SAINT] Members 1,881 posts 23,932 battles Report post #22 Posted September 10, 2021 I also have the Thunderer but with less than fifty games played in it I'm certainly no expert. Since I'm not a fan of Tier 10 matches in general due to the meta I honestly don't play there much, however it was my experience with this ship that you do have to hang back at the start of the match and snipe. There is a time and place in the match where you have to push up and I'm guessing the OP still hasn't found the niche for determining when that is. I'm just an average player at best so take this with a grain of salt, but perhaps OP you should try to help your team more and criticize your team less. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
213 GEOCHUCKGEO Members 124 posts 11,048 battles Report post #23 Posted September 12, 2021 True, the Walrus pounded my BB with his Ragnar, because I brought to fight to him (or at least his area) with a BB, and didn't straddle the edges (or hid in smoke, or behind islands, like some constantly do). And like most Junior High Schoolers, he's good at computer games as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damn I didn’t know I should be in middle school. Being in my 3rd year of an economics degree probably makes me a bit over qualified for grade 7? Guess I’ll have to drop out and get dumber. Got any tricks on being an idiot GEO? You seem to be pretty good at it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know of others, but because of things like that is why I'm losing interest in the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
