to quote Flamu - this is getting really spicy - the increasing negative publicity for WG

I wonder if we will see some sort of clumsy retaliation from WG? Maybe attempted youtube takedowns for copyright infringement or suspension of WG accounts ?
No chance. Their lawyers will be focussed on defending loot boxes I imagine.

Considering that misuse of copyright strikes blew up in their faces last time they tried it, I don't think they'll do it again, it would be like pouring petrol on a fire to put it out.

WG won't let up with the loot boxes and they don't give two fks about the PEGI rating either. It's a free to play (lol) game that anyone with an email address can download. They could label it PEGI 18 and it wouldn't change a thing.

that's me done - am oot - game uninstalled

Played over the weekend and I'm struggling to recall an enjoyable game. Pretty much every game was a one sided roll over.

Playing ranked at the moment and the games are either well balanced or a total MM cock up.
50% are great, the other 50% are "WTF!?"...

One game was 1BB, 4DD and 2Subs per side....

WG doing sub tests in ranked mode, shows you just how seriously they take the competitive side of the game.

The Russian carriers are landing... I'm actually not too bothered by CVs, but as has been said before on this thread, subs are broken in the sameway as the old CV's were; if you face a really good sub player you are censored !!!

They need some kind of nerf, but not sure what yet. (Maybe limiting the total number of torpedos per game?)

Apparently (I'm told by a friend that bothers to keep track of such things) Repulse will be a dockyard reward. Definitely going to have to make sure I collect that one!

Remember this quote from the big apology that WG out out recently?

"For example, players did not understand why the latest torpedo bug took 2 updates to fix, while a CV bug (plane losses in 0.9.9) was fixed almost instantly. They are in fact very different: the CV bug was fixed by quickly adjusting some parameters, while the torpedo bug involved game logic,

and even though it was technically fixed within a week, it had to go through all regular quality assurance processes".

Well...

https://youtu.be/M9tCeQzB3nI

This company is beyond a parody now. Fixed within a week, tested for 3 months, broken on release day. Not even a little bit broken either, but actually worse than the curving torpedo bug.

The biggest lie WG ever told!

The amount of bugs in this game shows that there is very little to zero QA being done by any competent people at WG. The art dept seems to be the ONLY dept doing consistent good quality work, the rest seem to be useless.

Uninstalled tonight as well. Finding that one night I can play and can't lose, then next can't buy a win. The MM is fubared.

It's also toxic for your mental health as well, as it can be so frustrating watching half of your team yolo.

The trick is to play T3-6, that's where the fun is 99% of the time.

Or do what I've been doing recently . . .


FIre up Twitch & start watching a few streamers like StatsBloke, Carbine, Killerbin, & Painezor etc

Then excitedly load up WoWs - grab any freebies from the Armoury . . . consider playing a battle . . .

Then Alt-Tab out back to the Twitch streamers for more vicarious WoWs

Then realise - time for bed

I've reinstalled and am playing occasionally. Would join up if there was one.

Have created a casual clan. 'PH' was already taken as you'd expect so PISTN it is. Join up and I will make everyone joint commanders.
