World of Warships Enters Open Beta!

It just feels like it :)

I have the legendary upgrade, so it’s not like I’ve only strolled around it from time to time.
 
Ok. WTF have they done to my beloved conqy-Dong ?

No, I'm not talking about the raised Citadel. I know how to drive a BB and that is not an issue.

I used to be able to generate 100K games easily in this thing. A few fires here, a few fires there, finish em' off with AP.

Ha!

I'm lucky to break 50k any more, and that's living out the entire game.

She just doesn't start fires like she used to.

When she got nerfed, supposedly the only thing they did was raise the citadel a bit. It feels like the fire chance and (forgive me my brain is failing me at the moment), "dispersion thingy" have also been messed with.

I'm not finding it fun any more, though she does drive great with Legendary.

Business6 is most definitely right. *puts on tin foil hat* I did say the same thing about my beloved Nurnberg the other day though. It also fits with what the WG devs said on stream a while back, that their goal is to reduce alpha.

I don’t find this game fun anymore. When I think back what I really enjoyed was playing myself into situations where I could dev strike a ship off the map. Now someone makes a bad play and you get all overpens...

It’s sort of funny because it you can see how the game used to be at the current T4-T5. Take a Kirov and you can half or more a cruiser that makes a bad play. The same happens to you. They’ve removed most of that at higher tiers which is kind of odd. It should be the opposite.
 
It's been Nascar'd ©

It's still fun, but it's a different kind of fun. It's not the head-rush that it used to be. It's a more, mellower, Millennial sort of experience :)

Before long we'll have vases on the bridge with fucking flowers in them.

One thing I fear is it may make YouTube/Twitch streaming less exciting. That could be a big problem.

It's not there yet, but if they keep fucking with it......

I have a god damn fortune invested in this game. All this pussification shit is starting to piss me off.

Forgot how much I love the Henri IV and how much of a shit team you need to really stretch its legs.

Was only 10k for beating my all time top damage. I should find a Youtuber to post this game up, I only survived with 375 HP with a Salem still firing at me when the match ended.

Also, I havent been posting here for awhile, with work being so busy and having issues posting images on the forums. Can't wait for the next ranked season. Last season I played 21 games and got a 95% win rate. Stupid fun was had in the Jutland.

Hot damn, lol. Send that to Jingles.

The worst thing is that this was my first game of the day. Literally any game after this one will be worse, so I quit while I'm ahead. Plus, I'll stay pumped up for the next few hours after having an amazing game like that.

That's how it always goes. Ill have a game where I outright murder the other team by myself, then spend the next 5 games getting dropped. lol
 
Wow. All that and only 690 Free XP. How the hell does that even happen!
 
I'll gladly trade the 690 FXP for the 1.6 million credits earned, since I'm grinding the legend mod. And they say tier 10 credit earning is too low.

Yeah, if you plan it out well, the legendary can be made a lot easier. Strategic use of the right flags, camo's, doing certain sectoins (i.e. sink xxxx ships) in Bot mode, etc...

The last one is the hardest. Or the second to the last. I forget. The one that is for base XP. Nothing will help you there except kicking ass :) I think it's 50,000 Xp ?
 
Ok, I can't believe it but after 5000+ games I still do not completely understand what the Repair Party does :)

I know it puts out fires, fixes guns, stops flooding, etc... but does it do anything else?

the one thing I don't get is when I'm looking at the damage bar, ok... It shows me my health, then 'repairable' health in the light gray part of the bar. Cool. I hit T, and it makes the bar solid all the way up to the end of the light gray area.

I get that.


But then, a little while later, I see that I have obtained even more "light gray" area tha I can use the T on.

Where the fuck does THAT come from? I haven't done anything to make it happen. It just shows up all of a sudden. On some ships like the conquerer, that thing can grow and grow over time as long as you aren't taking hits.

What is causing this repairable area to grow?

It doesn't grow.

Fire, flooding and even ramming damage is considered "light" damage and 100% repairable.
Normal pens (AP, HE) overpens, non-citadel area torp damage (it does in fact matter where the torp hits in regards to what you can heal back) is considered medium damage and 50% of the damage taken can be healed back. For RNBBs this is 60%.
Citadels, citadel overpens (extremely common, fyi) and torp damage to citadel areas can only heal back 10%. The Edinburgh, Neptune and Minotaur can heal 50% of this damage back while every other cruiser aside from the Graf can heal 33% of this back.

Say you have 100,000hp and take a minute or so of sustained HE shell damage that's worth 15k damage but the fires take off another 30k for 45k total leaving you with 55,000hp. You can use repair party to heal back 37.5k of that 45k health or, if you're a british battleship, 39k. If your repair party can repair a maximum of 15k during the duration of its activity then you'll need use 3 repair parties to get everything back assuming you don't take any additional damage.

It never "grows." You lose your effective health (current health) and thus the health you can recover increases quite frequently beyond what one healing party can recover but if you've taken pen damage you're never getting a portion of that back, period.
 
Ok, I get that , but what am I seeing then?

Lets say my bar is solid. No gray area.

There are no events. No hits, damage, etc.. I do not hit any consumable.

All of a sudden, a gray area appears, and I can hit the T key to claim it.

That's what I don't get. Where does that come from?

I don't think you're communicating it very well.

When your repair party finishes healing back what it can and the consumable goes back on cooldown you'll see a new gray area showing what the next repair party is capable of healing.
 
Got to love the weekend, so much farming to be bad.

Did a flaking move at the end of the match. Popped reload booster and slammed 29k of AP into the broadside side Missouri, two salvoed the boardside Zao, and finished off the Moskva for the kraken. Feels good man. Kinda feel sorry for the Edinburgh, he smoked up and try to cap a base while shooting at me. So many blindfire resets that his smoke ran out and I murdered him with overmatch cits.
 
In the course of grinding the Kurfurst legendary (on stage 5 !), I've learned something unexpected about this ship..

The HE is BRUTAL ! I have never set fire so consistently with any other ship, even the Conqy-Dong. I'm racking up 100k matches with ease. It's not just fire damage. The HE on this thing just whacks the shit out of superstructures and deck armour.

And I don't even have the Fire skill spec'd. I'm going to re-spec the captain and add it just for fun :)

I wish you could convert silver credits to Dablooms :(

German battleship HE is in fact the worst battleship HE in the game. Unlike the British HE it's actually balanced: 1/4 shell pen (like the RNBBs and not the standard 1/6th pen) with typically the lowest HE shell max damage and below average fire chance. RNBB HE is far more lethal as each shell is doing more damage with higher fire chance. A single 419mm shell from the Conq can penetrate for 2376 damage compared to the 420mm Kurfurst dealing 1650 damage for an HE shell pen Doesn't sound like much at all until you start thinking of these hits over time in values of 10. Throw in the better dispersion and higher fire chance and there's no real comparison.

That may be true, but I'm pulling 100k plus games fairly consistently and actually killing more ships with HE than AP. Maybe it's just my play style. Whatever it is, it is working.


Except tonight. Fuck.

Damn stage 5 of the Legendary grind (Earn 40,000 base XP) is a pain in the ass in the Kurfy. I do my best to cap, shoot down planes, detect stuff, kills, etc... and it just seems it's hard to gain base xp in this thing.

Yeah, yeah. I know there are guys here that can do it in 2 hours. I can't :)

That’s still 20-30 games for the best players. Remember exp is based on % dmg to a ship, not total dmg. Nailing a dd is worth a lot.

I have trouble playing more than a match every day or two with the current state of the game, unfortunately. One of my buddies just sold his maxed out account for a few hundred $$$. I’ll hold onto mine. They might bring it back around.

I can't begin to imagine what my account would be worth but a few grand would be a safe bet. Hell, I'm sure my alt account would be worth at least a few hundred, lol. Back in the old days of steam my steam ID number was apparently attractive and people offered me hundreds for it.

Also, as an fyi, that's a super super violation of the ToS if anyone is thinking of doing that. I don't think it's a big enough issue for them to pursue anyone on it but I imagine all it would take is the right documentation

Shit, I probably have a few grand into the game :)

That was one long ass grind.

Was it worth it? I don't know yet. The 24.5 second reload is nice, but damn. That 8% range and turret nerf is painful!

Now that I've got it I probably won't play it for a while because, dayum. I'm TIRED of this ship LOL

After spending 2 weeks solid in the Kurfurst, I'm just as confused about this ship as I always have been.

First, this is a genuine Troll your ass until the cows come home ship. The RNG is fucking legendary. At rane, you MIGHT land 3 out of 12 shells, and that is a good volley. I don't know what the sigma is for this ship, but you could drive an air craft carrier through it. I guess that's just typical german guns.

It has a lot of hit points, but it bleeds damage quickly.

It's fun to brawl with as long as it lasts :)

Yeah, I do well if I position myself to only engage an enemy or two. If you go YOLOing you die really fast... everyone loves damage farming the gk.

Yep. Getting caught in a cross fire is bad news.
