139 [OJITT] Hereticus2142 Beta Testers 521 posts 3,221 battles Report post #5 Posted September 3, 2015 If I had to guess? Patch day with big content like today's patch in any game is always super buggy and requires minor hotfixes to polish out.... They want that Ranked Battle experience to be seamless for the players...... or so I'd like to believe. *Tinfoil hat* Consider also that they said roughly 2 weeks for Tirpitz as they anticipate the population will spike with the NA marketing campaign getting underway..... So wait 2 weeks for ranked battles... Premium toys along with any other goods that may be released.... THEN ranked battles with all your new toys! Credit where credit is due.... Cheeky, very cheeky.

7 Victua Members 32 posts 1,139 battles Report post #7 Posted September 3, 2015 Need to let enough people get the updates and whatnot before starting the season. Most players are casual and only play for some hours on the weekend. And a low number of players in the middle of the week will just make Ranked Battles skewed on results out the gate.

Open Beta is a marketing gimmick and development scapegoat. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So what you're saying is sell a tier 8 premium ship that many, many are waiting for and then open up Ranked matches for tier 6 and 7? Doesn't make much sense to me at all.

It's gonna be a s!@# show. Run by Cleavelands, and essentially just small fleets on the same maps. Less action, still yolo'ing players without any sense of team work.

You just get to keep everything you have earned while testing the game out in Beta unlike other Beta's lol Take off your rose-tinted glasses, this is not BETA by any beta standards. The moment there are paid contents available is the moment it went retail. Plus there no wipe nor rollbacks. Beta tag is there just as a safety net for devs. In case something is horribly wrong, they can casually point to BETA and wash their hands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could buy into the closed beta. The fact that there will be no wipe on release is our "payment" for putting up with all the OBT shenanigans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd rather wait for ranked battles, than wait for CV fixes. Youshould care. Ranked battles are ready to go but being withheld for 'marketing' reasons. I love having major parts of games being disabled because the developers feel the need to build hype among people who are not yet playing the game over satisfying current participants.
