Commanders, some questions about Ranked for you!

Do you enjoy the smaller format?


Does the hunt for Stars and the saving them for rainy days keep you riveted on your journey?


Do you find the mode competitive enough to reach that balance between Randoms and Clan Battles?

Please leave your thoughts below <3

The long and the short of it is that Matchmaker can only pull from what exists. If players aren't available at the tiers needed to make a fully tier-matched experience, then it does the best it can with what exists. It's certainly possible there were no other Tier 5 ships or even Tier 6 ships available at the time the matchmaker needed to make a decision.

The situation you describe is likely shockingly rare as neither you nor I have heard of it happening before, but it stands to reason it occurs at times.

While that specific proposal has not been made, I can say that I made a proposal regarding AA being made invulnerable or functionally invulnerable via use of the aforementioned upgrade about a year ago. So, this is a known proposal and it would be cool to see should it ever actually be a thing.

My job is to represent community pain points and destructible AA has been on the list since before I was ever hired.

AA Traps continue to exist. Halland frequently uses its low Air Detection to light off with AA after planes are close enough to be hard engaged. Islands can be intentionally used in similar ways as well as using smoke to provide AA for a large area while remaining undetected.

Hello, everyone!

Update 12.2 is here, so please provide any bug reports you may encounter here.

If you're fairly certain you've encountered a bug, we'd like to encourage you to submit it to the Game Support section of the WoWs ticket queues, within a section where bugs are asked for, or to create a post within this sub-forum.

Remove your mods and try again before sending in a bug report as mods tend to be the culprit. YES we know we have made it automatic, but we state this anyways as sometimes players will find a workaround.

DO NOT just move your old mods into the new mods folder, make sure they are updated!

I do ask that you please provide any and all information that you can when reporting an issue.

***Please follow the format below***

Issue: This is where you should explain the problem that you're having. Expected Result: Tell us what should be happening. How to Re...

Blue Econ Bonuses have value as well.

Grey Eco Bonuses are valued at 12 Doubloons, and Greens at 24. Blue tends to be 4x the output of a Green, plus that output occurs in a shorter period of time, but for simplicity sake you could just quadruple the value of the green to 96 doubloons.

86 x 96 = 8,256 Doubloons in value of EcoBonuses used.

-

You can earn all those Blue Bonuses just by playing the game, so value is subjective at the same time as being objectively identified.

I suppose it's possible to grind out 183k Commander XP in a day, but that would use Economic Bonuses to be any form of easy. 3k Commander XP for a match would mean 63 battles which isn't a small amount of time by any means.

If it was easily ground in a day, a 19 point Commander would be doable in just 10 days, which seems unlikely.

Most functionality does look to be restored, but we are continuing to observe the situation. Thank you for your patience.

Our Battle Pass format aims at 10 stages per week of pass. Things are subject to change in the future, but the 10/week format has held since introduction.

Commanders,

The NA Servers are currently experiencing issues after the deployment of the recent Update.

We do not currently have an ETA for the resolution of this and will provide updates as we get them.

Battle Pass was ideated as being a 4-week thing. However, it was implemented late last year which goes quickly into 5-week or 6-week patch cycles due to the holidays, so that kinda warped it's initial deployment.

The expectation for Battle Pass is that it will exist for the duration of the Update and provide a healthy amount of stuff in both the Free and Paid Tracks that are available.

As with all decisions, value is in the eye of the beholder. Thank you for giving us your thoughts on it. There are several folks which have stated they do not want Early Access content in the Battle Pass, so this feedback has been given across a few places.

It's worth remembering how much other content is available along the way which can end up overlooked when looking at the "topper on the tree". 2,500 Doubloons is $10, which ends up yielding a good return on investment when the Pass is actively worked on throughout the update.

Servers experienced a hiccup. We're already working on it.

Server Transfers or Account Resets are the most likely. That or someone who started during the holidays and purchased a lot of Santa Containers which yielded a variety of ships.

Considering that a 10-point Commander by itself is valued at 1,500 Doubloons alone, the Ship being an Early Access reward on top of all the other things does math out to quite a value.


There are also post-progression rewards which yield even more with the Battle Pass is active, so there's further value for those that play consistently enough to reach post-progression over the course of the Update.
