demonR6 posted:Hey guys we managed to break the game! We were in a division consisting of two Clevelands and an Amagi. Sitting in the queue the five minute mark passed with nothing so I exited the queue and nothing happened but the spinning activity logo. Thinking I bugged the game I closed the client, launched and got back in game without issues except my Cleveland in port showed I was in battle. Chat worked so we thought it really went into a match and we had to wait it out. I thought we could launch a game meanwhile but nope, I could select another ship but it would not launch. I tried creating a new division but nope so I asked someone that was in game to send me an invite.. no joy. I logged back out, tried again and nothing. After taking screens and posting it in the bug thread a full hour later the game is still bugged out. What the heck are you doing using the beta test to actually test things?

I'm at work right now so editing the list is a hassle, but if you get a key, could you edit your request post to note that you've received a key so I can clean it up? I'll try to keep it up to date to make it easier for other people who get keys to know who all wants one.

I hope they add WW1 era U-boats as premium gimmicky T-1 ships. No dive mechanic, just a really small profile and a tiny detection radius while stationary. That'd make it easy for them to do one cool surprise attack before they're spotted and destroyed. Of course, if no one stumbles into your trap, you basically are dead weight. Screw having a fully fleshed out submarine angle though, maybe after a few years if they have time to get it right.

Asehujiko posted:What are people doing to get those bundles of keys/? Is there anything me and other goons can help out with getting more people in? I know of two basic routes to keys: Route 1: TheFluff goes out to military archives and studies old blueprints of tanks and ships so that Wargaming can try and put in Swedish tanks or ships. Route 2: Have a popular twitch channel. I'd recommend route 1, that way you're actually contributing something useful and interesting to the world.

Are there detailed instructions out there for the game, I'm having a hard time figuring out how to shoot torpedoes, mostly because when it's time to shoot, I'm pretty excited. What is the exact sequence? Something like: Target enemy Press X to get torpedo lead indicator, Use 3 to select spread... and then what? Is there a separate torpedo button? Do I left click while 3 is held down or something?

I'm at about T-4 now and it's getting to a point where competency actually matters. What should my basic strategy be for cruisers or battleships? I find myself getting killed too early in the match which makes me think I'm either being too aggressive or failing to understand the flow.

Maybe this is anachronistic and arcadey, but maybe it'd help if there were aura bonuses for sticking together to represent radar sharing or something. Comedy option: In the same way that WoT had you manage a 5 person crew, let WoW have you manage 1,300 crew members, each with unique skill trees.

If torpedoes did less damage but caused serious speed/handling reductions it might be really cool. You know how awesome it is when you have a good shot at someone who is beached? Or it'd be awful and annoying. Who knows?

Slim Jim Pickens posted:If they do, they'll need to change the game mechanics. It's pretty easy to defeat that mod by changing course and speed, but enough people are getting mad about dying in two or three salvoes. I play under the assumption that every other player is using the mod. You definitely need to be changing up your speed and course even if they aren't using the mod because with practice you can hit people from long range without any help from a mod.

If you got any of the premium ships, you probably can afford the Albany; I think it's 500 tokens. It's a tier 2 cruiser and to borrow someone else's phrasing, "It's got a Warhammer 40K thing" It's pretty slow, 20 knots compared to 26 for the Chester or 22 for the St. Louis, and pathetic range, only 6.3 km. I can't actually put my finger on why it kicks rear end, but I seem to do really well in it. I suspect that the armor configuration on it is very weird or something. I think it's a fun ship, it's worth goofing around in for the price.
