World of Warships Enters Open Beta!

Got the pensacola.. took a couple of rounds, but man, this thing is citadel city! almost every volley on target is getting me 1-2 (Against other cruisers of course). it's reasonably quick too. Still need to upgrade the guns + fire control.
 
There is no kill stealing in this game. Not when an enemy slavo can take out a ship. Sink those fuckers!

And people afraid of a repair bill, too.

Frankly, if you're running that low on money using high tiered ships you should either 1) sprinkle some tier 5 and tier 6 games much more often or 2) stop playing tier 9/10 because you're not doing nearly enough to break even in the first place.

The team shouldn't be punished for someone being a complete pussy about their repair bill.

I have run into so many edge riders in the higher tiers, not really so bad in the lower-mid tiers.

Yesterday, I had a damn carrier do it to me, however, I fired my last volley right as his team mates blew me up, which killed him, so much satisfaction from that kill.

Right. Let "your kill" drop 2 more team mates, just so you can get "your kill"? The BB I dropped had been worked on by 3 people, but I got the lucky citadel hit, but Mr. WoWS proclaimed me a kill stealer cause "It was HIS kill".... whatever that means.

You shouldn't play games with others.

Or rounds with 225+ rounds hit and no kills. Shit happens. Soften up the targets for the kill I guess?
 
Sometimes playing carrier I'll fly over nearly dead ships that a few of my team mates are working on that I could get the kill on w/ TB, and I did 75% of the damage on a few minutes ago, but I go to the full health battleship to ensure all my damage is felt.

I honestly never thought, "ohhh my kill!" I just wanted to win the round.

If you're going to get pissed over kills this is DEFINITELY the wrong game for you. So many ships (anything with slow turrets) the best way is to kite along shooting at broadside targets, so at least half the ships should be switching targets often IMO since you don't exactly go off chasing them. One on one duels are rare and to expect someone to track who is doing damage to whom is silly.
 
Yes... I don't care who gets the kill shot to be honest, Sure you might lose something like First Strike etc...

EG Yesterday on the New York, I got 3 citadel shots in 1 salvo on a Cleveland from full hp to 3k hp, he got away, later killing 2 team mates(or contributing to their deaths. I also got got 2 wymoings down to under 10k in that same round, I still got 5200xp, while getting only 1 kill shot (man It was citadels all nite with the NY and Pensacola)

I have enough ship xp now to buy the New Mexico, just saving up credits, also I have 78K free xp saved up for upgrades once I get enough credits for those as well.


Just a rant I hate Carriers that don't listen or cooperate... make us go out of our god damn mind trying to protect them.. this one carrier decided to go head first into a destroyer who was coming from over 25km away, after multiple warnings and asking him to turn so we could intercept, he ate 5 torpedoes from that destroyer, who sank him, pulled 2 of us from the front line to try and save him. we lost that round, badly.

On about 70% of games one of these scenarios seems to happen:

The one dipfuck that feels the lone wolf route will play out well and sails his T8 BB all the way around that map, only to find the rest of us dead by the time he first engages, then gets wrecked.

The trio of DDs that run the middle on 2 brothers cause they think they are the first ones EVAR to try that and they are gonna single handedly win the game with this tactical move. Fucking Leroy Jenkins. Wrecked.

Or the CAs that insist on duking it out with BBs (wtf, NO, run away) while they ignore the DD's and CAs tearing apart your team. Good job Ahab, you didn't get a kill and your team lost. REKT.

I spent an entire game playing cat and mouse in my Pensacola last night with 3 T5/6 BBs. They were so enthralled with getting me they never noticed the fleet sneaking up behind them. 2 of them were sunk before they even got their guns to bear. One got a few shots off. THAT is the only time I will engage a BB on purpose unless it is endgame. They will drop you with one good salvo.

Same here, when I do 90% of the work and take damage in the process, dont steal my kills if I can finish him off! K thanks! I dont need your assistance and your pretense to rescue me when Im 1-2 volleys from getting my kill! Dont be like that! Its one of the reasons many hate this kind of shit in WoWs WOT and WT!

How about if you are in-between shots, and that ship sends out an AP salvo that citadels a cruiser? Getting one shot in this game is very real. A ship that's alive and still flinging shells is dangerous. If someone can take a shot and kill a ship a few seconds before I can, and prevent the enemy was possibly getting another salvo off - that's great.

Stat padders. I "lose" kills all the time, but they target gets sunk, which is the point to win the match. I have seen what appears to be opposing teams claim kill on me a few times, and in that time I always manage to drop a few ships, which causes them to lose. I mean there is nothing as awesome as being in the middle of a group of DDs in a Cleveland and the only guy shooting at you is in a BB, which tells me the other team is kill claiming, which is fine by me, since the guy in the BB cant turns his guns fast enough to get a bead on me. In the mean time I am single or double shotting the DD's so he can get "his kill". LMAO, fine by me.
 
People need to get off the kill stealing, let me give you an example of why

New York, upgraded, full HP, a destoyer with less than a 1000hp that I was trying to kill, fires off a torpedo, which 1 shots me, 49000 HP, and I got 1 shotted, because no one finished him off :p
(my dying salvo killed him)
 
I don't know what can be done to promote more team play, instead of 'stop stealing my kills' mentality. Right now, there is a fair incentive to win a match via the exp bonus -- but apparently this is not enough by itself. There is zero incentive for a battleship to move forward and be a battleship - instead, hang out in the back and take pot shots. There is zero incentive for a cruiser to provide AA support or protect battleships from DDs.

The whole experience system rewards a method of play worse than lone wolf - it goes as far as promoting leaving your team mates out cold when you see a flank starting to fail so you can get some more shots out there and not end up with a repair bill. At the higher tiers, it's really just trying not to die.

Sick of hearing a BB ask for AA coverage and then just sit in the back of the map for the entire match. When you refuse to do so they start crying on chat about CA's and DD's not doing their job, which in their minds is providing AA while they camp the back of the map waiting for the match to expire so they don't die. I have even heard a CA call for escort... :confused: you are the escort dumbass. You drop DDs and other CAs while providing AA for the big boys that provide the tank against other BBs and CAs, but cannot hit a DD without major luck. But this all requires BBs that get into the fight, not steer aimless circles in the back of the map until they are picked off.

:mad:

:D

Its all very simple.
 
These kills stealing posts are hilarious and really show ignorance. I dont fuck around with letting ppl secure kills when any bb and later tier cruisers can kill you with one volley. I have personally had numerous games in bb's where ill pick uo 2-3 kills while i'm under 10% life.

yeah have it happen every once in a while in my games.. if my team happens to be going up against a 1 tier up IJN carrier i'll typically stick with the BB's in my pen or new orleans but if it's a USN carrier i usually don't bother except maybe against the lexington.

theres nothing you can really do to change the mentality anymore. even if you gave all the XP to the person who did the most damage, people would still cry about their kill being stolen.
 
So sick of useless teams....DD rush out alone and die... BB go off on their own, no one protects the CV's......

just like WoT all over again!
 
Last person who took my BB kill the other night, I shot 4 torpedoes into him to drive home my point. You take my kill, I will fucking kill you now, I'm done being Mr Nice Captain.

It's still beta, a lot of balancing left to do, a lot of newer players who don't understand their roles yet.
The co-op to start you off is nice, but it would go a long ways towards improving play if those also included tips or hints during the battle to help people learn. Things as simple as a red x saying you're a battleship, here's a good spot to put in you in range, or you're a destroyer, you've been spotted, you probably want to use your smoke screen to get away.

But, the worst part of multi-player gaming is always the other players...

do everyone in this game a favor and go back to playing your crappy call of duty or counterstrike or what ever instant gratification game 10 year olds are playing these days., we don't need people like you playing WoWS.

He has every right! Listen its easy dont take his kill no problems. See is that so hard? All of you making excuses and stealing kills are a part of the problem K? Its astounding reading some posts on here like - if I didnt steal his kill that supership would have killed my entire team oh the horror! :eek: WTF is wrong with you! Its easy to take credit for someone else's hard work.

LOL
what credit? how much xp do you get for the kill shot vs dmg done?
I have gotten over 6000xp on a single kill round, and under 2000xp on a 3 kill round.

I'm sorry, I'm not going to sit there, while your target chips away at my hitpoints, so you can feel good about yourself

Seriously, I get way more credits for rounds where I get 200+ hits, drop some planes and get a few citadels on bunch of ships but never sink one.

Do you watch journeyman's stream? Sounds like something he or his "fanbase" would say.

Your kills don't mean shit. Nothing. You earn more for overall damage and for damaging equal tier or higher ships:

Please keep doing this, you will just end up losing money and getting banned.

The whole kill steal BS has to die and go away. Its petty and insignificant to the goal, even in games that reward kills like LoL. This game doesn't reward kills as much as damage done. You also lose a lot by killing teammates. So if you hadn't done a full torp blast into your teammate you might have gotten even more.
 
I won't shoot. Just let him turn pink and have the team annihilate him. Then send in the ticket and get him suspended/banned. It's his choice whether or not he wants to continue being able to play.
