During pvp during slower NA hours I noticed the opposition taking advantage of timing. It became too frequent.Then, when I announced in team chat going aggressive in a BB up the middle, the immediate response, regardless of position or anything else since I intentionally hit island, opponent aggressed. Spies abound on both sides of matches, playing both sides of battles to affect outcomes.

 

Be aware new players.. Fights are fixed !  If pve then ai is weaker than You. If PVP then then teams are on on both sides of fights making you the loser for their advantage (XP, etc). Good luck advancing at a decent rate when teams conspire to beat you fast and limit your xp gain  by playing both sides of the battles. No way for the publishers to prevent it either with outside game communications. No reason to spend cash for being beaten by cheaters.

By what you're saying, one side is purposely losing and always on your team, which means they also get less XP. Who would do this for a night job?!

Well, apart from the fact that you don't appear to have played a single game in a BB, have you considered that perhaps there are enemy destroyers in the area which happen to have much lower detection ranges than you and can therefore spot you long before you spot them?

 

Let's craft an example, shall we? I'm at work and I'm bored, after all. The Chester- a ship you've played- has a surface detection range of 8.5km. The Umikaze- a same-tier destroyer- has a surface detection range of 5.6km. That destroyer has an entire 2.9km in which he can spot you without you spotting him back. Any modicum of competence in said destroyer would make this task child's play.

yep and put on your tin foil hat so the spies can't read your thoughts

 

Tin foil hat doesn't work (whoever thought it would was really really stupid). Better you learn to develop your being and read them back. It's called non-dual consciousness.

The self is an illusion as with space and time.

Dear OP,

 

You're an idiot. Please cease respiratory functions to allow higher forms of intelligence to breath the oxygen you'd otherwise be wasting on drivel like this.

While its probably not that common im pretty sure ive seen people intentionally throw games before. I can also see people who tried to time multiple divisions queuing at the same time who end up on opposite teams giving a bit of help to their friends, particularly if they aren't playing to grind that ship but maybe 5 of them are playing to help the 6th grind through a ship or something.

Taken away because we can't have hurt feelings here on the forums for silly posts.

This is why we need the negative reputation system back again.

 

I'm really trying to wrap my mind around this thing...  Are you saying that there are bots on our team that give information to the enemy team?  If this is going on then why when I'm on an enemy team have I never seen it happen?  Your entire paranoid post has really confused me.

No, hes not saying that.

 

Hes accusing people who know each other who happen to be on different teams of using third party communication to share information so they can farm exp or pad their stats.

 

The bot thing he really didn't need to throw in there because its probably confusing people, but hes also rolling in pve into his general 'fights are rigged' statement by pointing out that pve is basically designed to be won, and hence 'rigged' (which it is, but i dont really see the point of pointing that out because it seems fairly obvious to me pve is not meant to be a challenge).

 

Its fairly common practice for people to try and time joining the matchmaker to get in on the same game so more than 3 people can play with each other, usualy done by people all on the same voice com, though sometimes just coordinated through chat. Its not uncommon for clans to attempt this. Most people dont (or claim not to) abuse this if they happen to end up on different teams. But its unquestionable that some percent would.

 

So essentially, the OPs accusations are correct. Hes kind of making a big deal out of something thats probably very rare though.

 

While im not surprised so many people responded negatively to his somewhat difficult to understand post, Im honestly surprised so many people responded with the assertion that what hes talking about doesnt happen.

Don't you know, they bet heavily on the battles in Vegas, so they have a financial interest in fixing the fights.

More like the assertion that it is impossible to stop in any game, but I won't pay at all because it's this game. It's the equivalent of not buying a car because it could potentially break down.
