To my knowledge, it is only for the first 200 Battles on an account. Someone with more than 200 Battles would no longer have access to the Protected Queue.

It's a way to allow new players to only fight other new players or (in lieu of players) bots as long as they are playing Tier 1-4.

Hapa_Fodder mentioned that once. That this game is one that actively has folks that don't play any other games. I think that's really cool, personally.

There's a game called Diablo. While it was being designed, it was made as a Turn-Based game. Well, Blizzard (the Publisher) said they needed to change the game and make it Realtime.

So, they just made it so all the turns happened at once, and it turned out awesome (it was a little more complex than that). WoWs feels to me like a Tabletop game where 24 people take turns... at the same time.

Honestly, if you play CV enough it feels like a Tabletop game where there are 24 people that each have a piece and are playing at the same time.

As I recall, the original "Healer" in Dungeons and Dragons is a Cleric. They wear heavy armor and have a nasty mace or hammer <3

But yes, CVs have a lot of different functions, so they don't quite fit a characteristic mold.

Ooh, that too. Yes, that was a point as well.

Though an arty shell can't be shot down so there is still a difference. But the ability to self-spot is quite strong.

The video states that if Person A does to Person B, that it should be an interaction that both parties should enjoy.

It might be an attack that A wants to do damage with. If A hits, they'll enjoy that, but B needs to be able to avoid the damage. If the damage is avoided, B will enjoy that. It has the ability to send enjoyment both ways.

Bandi is saying that there is nothing enjoyable about being lit by a CV, so it's ALWAYS a negative interaction. And he has a point.

Worth nothing that while the enemy has a negative interaction, the teammates of the CV have a positive one as they can attack a target they previously couldn't.

For instance, an enemy Destroyer that is unspotted on a flank that lost its DD. If the CV provides the intel on the DD, that's a Good Thing for their teammates that needed that information.

In a way, it's kind of like a "Heal". It's beneficial to teammates ...

Ha <3 That's like putting a flyer for Burger King on the walls at McDonalds~

It's a great video and supports both Pro and Anti CV arguments.

There are some people that enjoy the CV interactions from a surface ship perspective, but there are others that don't. Ideally, everyone would be in the "I enjoyed this!" camp, but nobody said this stuff was easy. (Well, lots of folks do say that, but it's not <3)

Sure. I'm just noting it specifically because I've learned to expect lemming-trains on single DD games.

The flank without a DD leaves and heads over to the side with a DD and you get the giant doom-train. It's frustrating, but it's a reality.

Just to point out, the game your picture is showing has no Destroyers.

There are many Cruiser players that don't know how to advance without having a DD go ahead. They get scared to move forward and spot because Cruisers are so much more visible than DDs. Granted, a CV can provide spotting, but this isn't an uncommon occurrence.

Yep. Your clip doesn't say anything to support your argument and is a waste of time.

You are now taking a break from this thread.

Are you serious with this? This is an awkward joke, yes?

Add useful things to the discussion or leave the discussion. Stop with this nonsense :\

Not going to lie, that looks like it'd be an interesting replay to watch.

I'd be happy for you to post clips of me saying a CV can singlehandedly restrain 11 players from playing the game. As that doesn't exist, I will offer you the same option.

Provide me the information you have or you can sit this conversation out as well.

Bandi wanted to talk about CV stuff. This is the result of a thread with no goal other than general CV talk.

Multiple people saying multiple things at near random.

I hid your post because it made a false assertion. I request you show proof of how your assertion isn't false. I said I'll wait and that you can sit out until then.

I'm going to hide this post as well, so please either find your proof or hang out until the next "Great CV Debate" thread kicks off.

@Bandi73

Find me a replay of 11 players that stopped in their spawn and denied themselves the ability to do anything... because a CV existed in the game.

We'll all had games where your teammates have yet to discover the mystery of the W key on their keyboard, and spend entire minutes sitting around waiting for realization to kick in... but on a whole, 11 people do not hide from a CV in fear all game.

Ya Rly.

Reasonable people understand that AA works and not all CV players are Gods. Unfortunately, a lot of the conversations on this forum aren't built on that baseline. They're constructed from Theoretical Maximums and Universal Truths.

Coming in with a ship that did fine in a game just means you now have a host of people saying you can't prove that the game is perfect because your ship did X or Y.

It's a helpful example, but in the context of this discussion it's just baiting a more heated response.

I'm happy to unhide it as soon as you give me what I requested. Until that time, you can stop making up false lines of attack and sit out of this conversation.

There is no argument there, because that isn't an argument anyone would ever make in good faith.
