Am I a manipulative abuser in real life, or do I just roleplay one on the Internet for fun? You decide!
The one chat ban I received was an automatic ban after a match where I said "gently caress that" when someone ordered me to cap in a Kiev in tier 10.

i've been trying a new thing recently where i try to give constructive feedback (keeping in mind I'm far from an expert) and I feel like I get more reports :sigh:

That said I invite a Kiev to stick with my Lightning in a T10 match and we were suitably aggressive an actually got a couple of compliments so...

Well that's entirely atypical if true, but regardless, also don't feed the trolls.

It is absolutely not atypical. Really it just takes a not totally unaware division or clan. Piss off a three person division, if they know how the game mechanics work, they can troll you by chat banning you with 2 ‘misbehave in chat’ reports a piece.

Fake edit:

White knighting? I guess you can call me calling out racism and literal nazis as white knighting not racists or nazis.

Closest thing to actual white knighting in that list was coming to the defense of some dude who was being called a human being by saying, “hey, you know what guys, thats not really a slur because I too would be gay if the pay was high enough.”

I tried this some months ago for a bit and lost a bunch of points. Best thing to do is to just ignore the chat and play the game.

I'm a terrible jerk in chat on a fairly constant basis and I've never gotten a chat ban. Maybe it's just a randomizer program that throws out the chat bans completely at random, except you guys that get banned a lot got a bad seed. :v:

I'm 95% sure the only thing you have to do to get chat banned in WoWs is to have used chat and gotten a report in the same battle. What you actually said in chat means almost nothing.

I've said 'gently caress' a lot in All chat and definitely been at bit salty on occasion when I look at the minimap positioning of my team, but I've never had a chat ban.

This is 100% how it works. And you need 6 total “reports” within a specific time period.

i know battleship AP on dd's is stupid but with the legendary mod on Yamato I was deleting dd's last night.

Sucks as a dd player but goddamn it's satisfying since i was eating torp soup all night because cruisers refused to kill dd's.

Weird, I've never been chat banned yet and I call people cunts all the time. 100% accurately mind you so maybe that's the difference. You lose all your karma though then folk report you.

Again, this is most likely to happen if you call someone in a particular clan or a 3 person division a ‘oval office.’ So you might have just been lucky.

Also previous reports wear off over time, so if it is a few days between incidents you are less likely to get chat banned.

As far as Karma goes... this is relatively meaningless, so I wouldn’t stress Karma loss.

I've called people plenty of names and never got a report.

However if I am nice and explain to some BBaby why he is useless sitting at Max range and whiffing I get reported every time.

Which is a better load out for Texas, sky cancer removal or slapping things with long range target plotting? My heart wants to be the thing CVs want nothing to do with, but my head tells me being able to shoot half the map is universally useful...

Sky cancer removal. You can get rid of spotter planes messing with you near islands as well as make CVs go away. Long range targeting is only useful if your dispersion backs it up, and Texas doesn't have that. Its default range is longer than New York's, and that's already plenty to work with for T5.

Is there any US battleship past the NY where you'd actually use the extra range? Maybe if the Colorado still had a 2.0 sigma.

So I got the Jervis. As for a short trip report.

1: This ship is remarkably comfortable to play. Torps are alright, guns are fast firing and hit pretty hard for a DD. Also the X turret has 360 degree rotation, so it feels kind of like a grown up Vampire, and I loving love the Vampire.

2: Holy poo poo those shell arcs. At 10+km I'm not firing guns, I'm firing loving mortars. American shells don't arc like this.

Poke.



Co-op has a very special following. I played a bit as the legendary mission victories can be completed in there and they take 5 minutes, and there were players in clan divisions with thousands of co-op games in tier 10s. Considering you get about a fifth of the XP for a win that's some dedication.
