Commanders,

We have a Survey up for your thoughts and feedback regarding Update 0.11.0!

This survey should run the length of the Update, so feel free to take some time to familiarize yourself with the Update before submitting.

Please check it out at this link: Update 0.11.0 Survey

Thank you <3

We're about to release a new patch, so please let me know if this continues in 0.11.0.

If the issue does reoccur, please make sure to provide replays from the matches where they happen so they can be investigated further.

eviltane summed this rather straightforwardly...

Modelers that make ship models aren't bug fixers.
Artists that draw splash screen aren't bug fixers.
Game Designers that create new mechanics aren't bug fixers.
Audio folks the create new music aren't bug fixers.

In short, it's a fairly specialized art to find bugs and squash them.
We do have a team for finding and fixing bugs, but they are extremely hard to track down in a game of any sufficient size (and small games too). We do the best we can, but there are almost always new and weird ways for code to do unexpected things.

If you'd like to learn more about our Big Fixing process, we have a video here:

This one's a weird one.

After getting a small pop of Reports, I've had a look at this Thread. The Reports over posts IN the thread are... overblown.

As for the OP...

I'm going to tie this one off before it turns into a screaming match over the "Wisdom" of yolo'ing a Radar Cruiser forward to kill a CV that only needed to be Rocketed by a Friendly CV for less than 5k damage.

In Forum Rules terminology, this is getting locked because of:

@ShomarukiI'm going to have to ask you to stop derailing this thread in an attempt to brawl with El2aZeR.

Either start a new thread or disagree with him in DMs. This isn't the place for it.

There is no current policy which operates in that fashion.

Language is being updated and we'll pass a word to the global team that posts these updates for us.

It does immediately follow that sentence with the information that it's describing the situation in Update 0.11.0.

Update: After receiving information corroborating the passing of the clan's Commander, and receiving the unanimous decision from the entire available Leadership structure of this clan, the Commander position has been moved to the requested player @skippy_versys

We are going to work on an internal policy to handle rare situations like this for the future.

I wouldn't expect any big changes to the AI until the Tools are finished. So yes, the bots in Co-Op will still have poor accuracy for the foreseeable future.

It was literally stated that she is too strong in the statement at the beginning of this Thread. I have Bolded, Italicized, and Underlined the part which states that directly.

One step at a time. Nobody is helped in making announcements before the knowledge that they can be achieved.

Let us finish making the tools before imagining the things that can be built with them.

Yes, it was Hotfixed shortly after it was discovered.

The additional HP from Survivability Expert is now distributed the same way extra health is distributed when upgrade your Hull.

Can you be more specific in what you're quoting? "The announcement" doesn't give me enough to go on in specific.

---

I think the substance of what I quoted from you is correct. There are AI Tools which are being developed that should allow AI work to happen more easily. Issues should be easier to tweak and address moving forward because of that.

What is the reasoning behind this question? That less smoke means more exposed to plane spotting?

Also, this is a ship in testing, so it's normal to see sweeping or sudden changes as things are tested internally.

It is unlikely to be removed from Co-Op for a variety of reasons:

Our Game has a Win/Loss Condition that exists when the enemy has 0 points.


Co-Op is generally taken as a faster, more aggressive choice. The 0 point Win/Loss Condition keeps the match times down.


In order to lose enough point to reach 0, a Team must be at a significant disadvantage and tracking down the last 1 or 2 ships can be tedious.

The most common concerns I hear are about being nearly able to DevStrike a ship when the match ends, or having some other highlight moment cut short. The reality of the situation is that most/all of your teammates have run out of things to do since most of the Bots are dead (if you're approaching a 0 point situation).

If you have a specific replay you'd like to show which highlights a specific problem, please post it. There may be other ways of accomodating issues that are more specific in nat...

Definitely send a Ticket to Customer Support. They'd be able to look up dates for when things would be dispersed.

If they find something to be amiss, please let me know the Ticket# so I can forward that information to the ones in charge of the YouTube subscription stuff. It was only recently implemented, so it'd be good to know if there's anything going on that needs to be looked into.

You've already identified the outliers of the ship.

This is the main thing which jumps out. I've heard some people make a case for the Torpedos in the sense that they're very hard to detect, but the Smoke/Radar combo is what's powerful.

Black was used quite a bit in Tier 9 Clan Battles because it's a DD that allows you to smoke a flank with long duration US Smoke while still retaining the 7.5km Threat of frontline radar.

The more recent explosion of Smalland/Ragnar play has given everyone ample idea as to what Radar threat can mean when it comes from a Destroyer. Especially a Destroyer that has Cruisers ready to respond. Because of this, the Black's potential to solve two problems with one ship really does mean a lot.

Why wasn't it pounced on sooner? Probably because it was Tier 9 and most competitive matches were Tier 10. Just because it didn't show how much of outlier it was to the ...

From the end of the article:

"With the release of Update 0.11.1, the Japanese Castle permanent camouflage will be available in the Armory for Doubloons."

The formal policy was stated earlier in the thread. Basically, we don't want to become the arbiters of who gets promoted or not.

I'll try to see if I can think up something? This one is a pretty niche thing.

Please do me a favor and message me on Tuesday, because we're not working today. I'm still here because I know the forum doesn't sleep, but I don't have to ability to talk to anyone while it's just me at home trying to be helpful.
