Appreciate the feedback, thank you sir. <O

When giving an opinion, I guess you have to be open to receiving opinion back - even if it isn't agreeable.

That's not always easy if you are talking with passion about something and have already travelled a certain distance down that path of thought and belief (it can be difficult to go back to the fork in the road and consider the other route someone may be suggesting).

Replying to troll a person and be negative (just for the hell of it 🙁), is not something I agree with - but realise it happens. I also believe a lot of the time it is easy to identify a troll - but it is also important to identify that just because someone disagrees with you, doesn't necessarily mean they are trolling.

I'm sure you are well aware of the above and I'll just state the mistakes people can make that I mention above, is not aimed at you, but is a generalisation of the scenario discussed. Thank you. <O

I would also point out that those trolling such feedback are WG volunteers, it is easy to spot...and WG staff does nothing about it...because, as far as I can tell...it suits WG staff to allow trolling of outside ideas and opinions.

That's why I warn you about giving feedback on discord. It is not AT ALL a friendly place for any feedback that doesn't align with what staff is already thinking.

You will need thick skin and lots of patience...as staff will bring up long debunked 'evidence' as to why their idea is better, or rely on obviously half baked lies that were contradicted publicly in the same couple of days by WG statements and actions.

All the while, a group of volunteers will be making all sorts of race or region based trolling of you...and your ideas.

Don't go there, for your own sanity.

I am not into labels to limit conversations.  I've had the pleasure to have worked/work with people whose IQ's simply made them very hard to communicate with.  Or, if you really want an experience,  work with Stress Engineers in aviation whom are on a roll and won't even listen....  Or, on campus........you get the point.  I don't like labels.

Do you know the "rest of the story"  of  Galaxynations 6:7 from the Great Book of Dark Helmets...Harumph !  It's really germane to the phrase many use:  "you reap what you sow...."  Why?  Because the context ties Philosophies and responsibilities of those philosophical directives/responsibilities to individual actions.... 

"Be not deceived; the Schwartz is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap..."  the Schwartz in the context of use here is the Customer....  We can not be deceived and this corporation is lost on that thought.....and, can only earn what we want to spend....  So, when they ignored Update 8.0's potential effects on us, the paying customers, the game lost all sorts of revenue, trust and actual players....as just one example.

Thanks for the reply and I hope you enjoyed my response.....  May the Schwartz be with you !   Harumph !!

I think I had/have a Discord Wows link (for a competition I did some time back), but I don't normally use the Discord in general. 🙂

No idea what my IQ is, probably closer to one of Dark Helmets bridge crew lol.

I've also been known to have an idea and then decide to engage ludicrous speed without any intention of listening to anyone else. Somewhat uncanny that my equivalent grade in the service is that of a Major 🤔🤣

You know, IQ is so over rated.   And, some of us aspire only to be under appreciated anyway...  Actually, I am on a quest to be the Quintessence of Dust....

Careful WR, there is no "rank in the mess...."    And, some of us were second lieutenants a long time ago and engaged in hyper, or manic activities,  so obtusely focused, our NCO handlers made warding signs, hung bags of sacred herbs off the bustle racks, burned sweet grass and drank Holy Water from their canteens when we got into our tanks.....  To this day, I still don't know why?

Hello all🤟..it just hit me, that I havent played a Random solo game in ages.

Ranked was my mistake, should have stayed in Bronze, cause of T7, so no candy there as well.

The only thing looking appealing are Asym battles with their own set of flavors, and about the only thing I play nowadays. Quite a relaxing mode with a real chance of having some fun out of it😉. Still cursed profoundly after every Yumihari ice cream cone salvo, Adatara kind of sets it back to ‘Yoink Dept, from range IJN samurai style’ bracket quite aptly😁😁.

The point being, after Asyms are gone, what am I gonna do?..playing Random Frustration Generator pvp modes does not look appealing at all😉😇 while Ops were never my cup of tea anyways.

What are Your thoughts?.. Asyms were saving grace at least for me, funwise.

Have fun, and stay afloat just a bit more🤟

I’ve been an Ops main for almost a year now. Very few randoms, it’s just not fun anymore. Asymmetrical is a blast when that’s around. For my hour or so a day habit Ops is interesting enough to keep me involved. I’ll play CB once in a while when I’m feeling it. Try your hand at Ops. They do get a bit repetitive but that’s not a detractor for me.

🤣

I never take my limited IQ seriously, hence your reference to Dark Helmet and my admission to being more like a particular 'Major' on the bridge crew (you know, the one whose gave his cousin the gunner position 😆)!

Great film btw (sat here chuckling to myself having looked at some clips on YouTube).

PVP - Co-op but worse.

Ranked - Toxic Co-op.

KotS - boring Co-op

Ops - exciting Co-op

This game has turned into something I do while I watch TV.  It's just a big grind for pixel ships and flags.  I'm thinking of taking up knitting.  🙃

I am Asym and have been Asym for decades and decades....  Now, recently, every new business buzz-word is Asymmetrical.....  Oh GoD, we were using and teaching Asymmetrical processes decades and decades ago and are to this day....sigh.   Someone even asked if I own a ammunition company....  My son said I should have copyrighted it decades ago..... 

Alas, I can do this...I can do this......there's no place like home....click, click, click....

As someone who plays all moves I've enjoyed everything tbh. Ranked is nice, Randumb battles are nice and OPs are always great. Hopefully WG bring back some convoy escort mode as that was extremely fun in random battles.

I stan this message.

I famously dislike ranked because of the toxic nature of the chat at times...

...yet I still played bronze ranked occasionally for fun.

It's all in identifying what you want in the moment.

For me ranked really depends on the tier.

Anything below tier 8 is bad, tier 9 is not enjoyable for me. I have the most fun at tiers 8 and tier 10 ranked. Such a joy to play at those tiers I truly love playing it.

Has anyone considered the relationship between mode and the amount of aiming juice?

 

[coolrunings_99]

Thanks all for thoughts and comments🤟.

Maybe its all my fault, since after some 3,5 years of playing there was an identifiable ‘breaking point’ sort of speak. The point where I said farewell to stupid yolos, 17.9 Shimas, and actually started learning the name of the game. Its not that it was on purpose, actually cant stand computers, apps, phones and cars that are actually computers in disguise😁. The last game before wows that I played was umm Panzer general, and first Blitzkrieg😉😁 and am roughly half a century old, give or take a few years🤟.

I mean for two years I was blissfully unaware, and just drove around ships (love ships and all the galore that goes along them) got blown up, blew stuff up. Guilty of all noob, glue sniffing, window licking traps and manifestations that one can think of.

But had fun.

Then I started to pay attention to details, got the zest of it, watched wows streamers, tried to curb all the ‘Geronimo!’ moments and impulses…yadda, yadda, etc😉

Funny thing happened, I got ‘better’ in playing a game, while at the same time in spite of it, frustration and broken keyboards with chewed up mice became the norm for wows sessions. And the change was almost instant, like a nuclear blast…here we have a nice evening coming upon us, the birds are singing, there is a gentle breeze, the air smells of chocolate…aaand Zzzap!Kaboom!..there be light, lots of it, in a jiffie😁😁😁.

The horrible stats ( didnt even know that they re a ‘thing’ for the first two years of ‘playtime’) took a turn for the better, but the ‘raison d ettre’ of playing this game turned south and sour in a heartbeat. Its worth mentioning a common issue that for example is lost on me, since I was and always will be straight f2p, havent bought a single pixel since wows day one. Not cause weege done this or that, just that the dots of playing a game to have fun and paying for it are quite ‘inconectible’ at leas for me. 

If anything one can be thankful and mindful of the fact that the game was, is and will be a f2p title.  

Quickly coming up to territory thats been rummaged thru ad nauseam…fun police, dildos, to name a few.

If i have to I ll live thru them, but the fact that there are ways to implement things, add value and grow is in general as lost on weegee as is on most corporations.  Remember that corporations consists of bloody computers and people, not unlike You and me😁. Its not computers and crocodiles🤟😁.

Tough beans, wont loose sleep over it🤟😎.

In a nutshell..

Fire the main guns!…insert RNG value

To battle!……………….insert RNG MM value

Fire secondaries!…..no need to yell, RNG is here for ya

Launch torps!……insert some RNG

Open the container!...insert RNG

Aim carefully!……why bro, look at all the RNG we have here for ya

For me I see it ending in a twice a year, rng fiesta of snowflakes, SCs and thats about it.

Tried carrier gameplay, not my fav cookie.

Never tried dildos, never will, no need to explain further🤟😎

 

Thanks all, and stay afloat, guns blazing😉🤟
