I'll be locking this now as this topic has gone from a conversation about Co-op and it's purpose to a theory about Gold ammo and a grievance over PR.
I don't know who you're talking about by "losing sponsors". We're not a TV show. We don't run advertisements to make our money. We create a product and market it directly to players. We don't have "sponsors" who can pull their advertising money if they don't like who we do or do not allow to come up with measurements.
I think, @SteelRain_Rifleman you are giving us far too much credit in what we control in terms of 3rd-party metrics. If we attempted to have Wows-Numbers shut down for daring to come up with their own standard of what makes a "good player" by applying a color palate, I believe that we would be acting in a terrible and authoritarian manner. We generally leave people alone who want to create content, systems of data, or aggragating sites regarding World of Warships.
If the PR measurement bothers you, I believe WoWs-numbers allows you to hide your profile from being viewed, but that's up to them.
They follow compliance with not aggragating or...
How is that?
Other people come up with ranking systems of their own design. If the community gravitates towards it, why should WG try and stop them?
Should I go to every one of these new "Tier List" videos being put out by the community and stop them from saying that Kremlin is C tier?
I think not!
13,000+ battles and I still get stuff wrong...
Thank you!
Captains!
We've had some minor hiccups with the NA server which caused Brawls to be unavailable for a short period. We've fixed it now (by feeding the server hamster) and Brawls are available to play. If you are still experiencing any issues, please restart the client, or contact our Customer Support if the issue persists.
Smooth sailing!
Thanks for the feedback! We'll take a look at what "can go"
The game certainly changes when the number of players per side changes!
Do you folks remember the Tier Eight 1v1 Brawl? Everyone thought Tirpitz would be King, and it was in many ways, but Prinz Eugene beat Tirpitz 9/10 times . Then you started to see more Massachusetts' to counter the Prinz Eugen spam, then the Tirpitz' came back to counter the Massa's....
If you're playing a cruiser at Tier Five, the one thing you REALLY lack is armor. Few, if any, of the T5's have armor that can bounce BB shells regardless of angle. Unironically, the Krasny Krym has one of the best armor layouts for charging a T5 BB with 25mm protecting the lower hull - meaning that it won't get overmatched unless you're fighting something with 380's at Tier 5 - which is rare. Furutaka DEFINITELY has the best armor layout for this though.
If you want to bring a cruiser, I suggest you bring something with smoke, or something with enough range that it can stay at a distance and farm the...
Honestly I'm not sure. Like I said, Wows-Numbers isn't owned by us, so we don't decide how they determine what PR represents.
Regarding Base XP vs Premium-boosted XP in the client, I am also not sure why the decision was made in this manner, as I believe it's been there since the beginning.
Yes!
We made an entire new thread dedicated to choosing internally a new winner as it was discovered that the original winner's entry was not original enough. We determined that the original winner should keep their prize, but that we at WG NA would choose a new winner and show publicly why we chose what.
I'm having trouble finding the thread, but it was posted in the earliest parts of January.
PR is not ours. It's a value set up by a third-party site that became kinda the gold standard for competitive players.
It's not ours to get rid of, I'm afraid!
Being up-tiered is always difficult - more so for a ship like Repulse that is not a "true battleship", but instead a Battle-cruiser.
The Repulse's job is to smack cruisers with her super-accurate main battery. It is NOT your job to stand-off with battleships. As you get up-tiered, the cruisers get better armor and bigger guns, which makes it harder for the Repulse to do that job.
Don't get discouraged! Repulse is a an absolute monster but requires a high level of skill and LOTS of patience to do well when uptiered.
You're going to have to provide some kind of citation if you're going to emphatically state that this is something WG has done.
Oh I assure you I have a very good idea of it.
I just wanted you all to know how I understand the game's progression to be in reference to why it's called "CO-OP" when it starts to feel like you're in competition with your teammates.
Even in PvE games humans are always still the final boss. It's only a question of, "What metric"?
In the case of Coop, you're competing with humans for your share of the pie.
EDIT: Unironically, this also happens in PvP when divisions of unicums go out and are far more likely to secure a win. They start to get the sense more that they are competing against their own teammates to secure as much of the prize as they can in the form of PR
I had always understood Coop to be a stepping stone in the learning curve of World of Warships.
First Step: the introductory lessons.
Second Step: Play against bots in cooperation with humans.
Third Step: Play against bots with a scenario objective with other humans. (Operations)
This is all to set you up for-
Fourth Step: Play against humans alongside other humans. (Randoms)
Fifth Step: Play against humans alongside humans with stipulations intended to increase competitiveness. (Ranked / Brawls)
Sixth Step: Play in a hierarchy of competition with humans and against humans that scales in difficulty. (Clan Battles)
This is the real thing. Coop is not meant to be the most challenging game mode so eventually the contest will be against the other humans on your side and a meta will develop around that.
From what I hear it's the fast torpedo DD's that rush in and nuke everything before the big BB's get a real chance to engage.
I mean - we'd have to change the name as their wouldn't be anything "COOPerative" about it any longer. It would just be "solo" play.
