Fail Platoons

[Sivle]

This has to end. I find it hard to believe that there is not some way to stop this on WG's end.

 

[VTAdmiral]

It can be stopped.

 

A large number of solutions have been proposed, each one reasonable and fairly easy to implement, only a few have been needlessly complicated.

 

WG just won't do it for some reason.

 

They claim it would "inhibit players' social activities".

[Sinboto]

You laugh, that erie/isokaze could kill the entire enemy team on their own....  

[AVR_Project]

You have my condolences.

The other team undoubtedly is closer to their Mikasa.

 

[h3rrmiller]

I think a more appropriate solution would be to make it more clear that match making will +/- 2 tiers based on the highest in the division.

 

As for the idiocy of that guy bringing a tier 1 to a tier 8 match.  Don't assume treachery when stupidity is a more likely answer.

 

There have been times when I swear I was readied up with a T5 with some friends and somehow managed to load in with my Atago (T8).  "Stuff" happens sometimes.

Only way to get action is going to be forcing it. Start taking T1's into t10 matchups, and t2's into t9 and so on and so forth. Gotta make a mess of things to get them to act.

[Atomicfireball]

I have said it before and I will reiterate it here. 

 

Players should be free to play with friends regardless of tier, it is their game too.

 

NOW, having said that, there is no reason to take a T1 into a T8, that is excessive. That is no way to help someone learn how to play the game. All rights have limits and that includes the right to play with friends. 

[tortelloni]

There is nothing preventing someone who has climbed the tiers from rebuying a tier 3 to division up with their friend starting new at tier 1. So there is nothing stopping anyone from divisioning with friends. If I am at tiers 8-10 and a friend starts today, as it is now I just fleet up with my T8 and his T1. Screws up my and all others Win/Loss, but hey, in just a match or 2 my friends is now T2 and a couple more he's T3.

 

Trolls cannot TK willy nilly with the new system. Maybe this T1 with high rank divisioning can be their new fun way to wreak havoc.

[Wepps]

Fail divisions.

 

This is what happens when you start smoking pot.

[alexf24]

There are no platoons in the sea. Sheesh!

 

[Rolkatsuki]

Fail platoons? 

Wrong game op, anyway fail divisions I know what you mean, one time I asked myself why am I killing a Kongou with my iowa in Random battle then I see that he divisioned up with a T*rdpitz

[Punisher_One]

Salty MM due to the Tier 1 Division. Server was teaching the team a lesson, lol.

I've seen this (apparently a ''bug'' that others I  know have encountered as well) happen quite a bit when teams was going on, after joining a division and switching to random or coop mode.

I'd be looking at one ship in port, ready up, and then notice in queue or else unfortunately too late in queue that either the ship used during teams or another ship entirely had been selected instead.

 

A lot of questionable mismatched divisions is certainly players being people, but there can definitely be those occasions of unintended of ship selection.

And that is carap, the entire concept that it would 'inhibit players social activities', well WG, what about all of the other players on that team or any other team where it happens, what about the 13 other people? You don't think for a moment that it inhibits their social activity or their play time by allowing fail divisions (toons) to continue?

DID YOU WIN???

[Sivle]

Agreed that it may not have been on purpose and I certainly was not too put out by it. I am not really living on the edge in that a lost game or two ruins my day. I just think it would be best for all, new players included, if there was a hard stop, say +\-2 tiers on a division. I can't imagine that was a good experience for that tier 1 player.

I will ask again....

I don't remember. I played a fair amount of games yesterday and no one win or loss sticks out. Does a win or a loss  matter in the context of this issue? 

 

 

[BlazerSparta]

Could have sworn WG was introducing division tier restrictions next patch. Uness I misread something?

saw numerous threads in this forum about what WoT is doing

 

but don't recall anything about what WoWS is doing

I don't remember that. The only restrictions in MM were direct matching of top tier ships (T6 BB -> T6 BB, other tiers mix and match as normal) and rough equalization of ship types (3-4 DD on both sides, 3-4 BB on both sides, for example).

 

No changes to divisions or how they affect MM that I can recall.

it does... especially if the Erie was responsible for helping in that win... I have seen and participated in many a Umikaze div win in tier 8 and 9 matches....

[BlazerSparta]

Never mind, I misread "The number of divisions on each team can only differ by 1" as "The tier of ships in a division can only differ by 1".
