Wolfswetpaws Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 (edited) 31 minutes ago, Nevermore135 said: I’ve long come to the conclusion that Karma is only really representative of anyone’s skill/behavior when considered over time. If one looks at in on a match-by-match basis it is pretty Random. Earlier this week I had a Mode Shuffle Arms Race defeat where a teammate expressed his opinion of my play (to repeat what was said would violate the rules here) in chat and sure enough I lost a Karma point. His Napoli finished in the bottom third of the scoreboard and ended the match in our spawn. My Thunderer was second on the team and was sunk in the cap less than 2 minutes before the match ended (the reds capped it and won on points). Most of the toxic complaints I’ve observed about others’ performance seems to come from players whose performance in the same match (and usually their overall stats when I check) indicates that they should focus more on their own performance and stop throwing blame at everyone else (ally or opponent). While Karma may be "in the eye of the beholder" like artwork, I figure that being a funny comedian is the best path to gaining karma points. Sure, playing well doesn't hurt. But, playing well, by itself, is both expected (by team-mates) and is sometimes resented (by opponents). But, "being funny" is appreciated by everyone. So, I encourage people to develop their wit and their sense of humor. 🙂 A laugh can be a very powerful thing...

If I say something it’s either genuinely constructive (not sarcastic) or light banter, and I don’t type out of frustration (I just swear up a storm IRL ). Everything else sorts itself out over time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itwastuesday Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 -5% WR deficit for team, 3 unicums on the enemy. Seems like yet another autoloss. Or maybe not? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verytis Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 I like easy kills and seeing stats go up, but this honestly came off as slightly disappointing. My opponents just stood there like deer staring at headlights. It was pure roadkill. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OT2_2 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Grinding up the German Z - 52 line with Z - 23 on my second account. As absolute low - tier being the best DD on my team is a nice result, but the game in shuffle mode felt staged. Streamer on the "red team", who made it in a division to rank two. Surrounded by top players (regarding WR) they secured a relative easy victory. This happens suddenly and naturely surely by chance ... although it happens often. 🤣 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OT2_2 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 (edited) Good gameplay and performance by me on "Aegir" this morning in shufffle mode. It's exactly as frustrating as randoms. It seems that never ever any performance is good enough and defeat is the logical consequence in this particular arcade game. Of course it's all on me, because I don't play good enough as some on here would say. Edit: On top of it I got reported.

Verytis Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 (edited) The correct way to play Defence: Being that large cruiser that keeps smoking up and then DCPs itself, so it resists fires very well. Edited August 5 by Verytis 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will add that is one hell of a game/results against what I see in the red team lineup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfswetpaws Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 For me, this was a good game, and I was glad to share it with good team-mates. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ensign Cthulhu Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 (edited) Bookends. First battle of the night: These new French destroyers are more than capable of pulling their weight in Co-Op. I'm having a great time. Getting into her early was worth the dubs IMHO, and the premium stuff in the paid track merely sweetened the deal. Last battle of the night: Nowhere near as much damage, but four enemy ships dead and a significantly higher base XP... Killing most of a Prinz Eugen and very high proportions of a DD and a sub probably explains that. With nothing left to do in the French DD event that doesn't involve opening the wallet, and no other PvE missions left to do, I decided that was a good point to call it quits for the night -and for the patch. It's been productive. Edited August 7 by Ensign Cthulhu 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s a beast in the niche situations she’s optimized for, like tier VII Ranked, but in Randoms her short range (less than many cruisers in her MM spread) and farmable armor scheme don’t do her any favors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
