93 [XODUS] xXxDeadlySniperKillerxXx Member 132 posts 16,424 battles Report post #1 Posted June 2, 2019 it's stupid not only because of rental ships, not-yet-balanced CVs, but also because rank 5 is no longer irrevocable. The problem is that rank 5 above and 6 below are divided into 2 different queues. Therefore, one can only have a battle when there are enough 14 rank 5 players. imagine these 14 players do a battle, then after that battle, 6 players will inevitably get kicked out of the rank 5 queue. So those players who win, have to wait at least 20 minutes more to have another one. But if unlucky, the queue will be lengthened for over hours. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

85 FinbarAu Member 247 posts 5,359 battles Report post #5 Posted June 4, 2019 My issue is the way the XP works for Ranked. In such a setting there is a strong need for Spotting (if you dont have a CV who does that part of their job) and capping without being murdered. As such, a DD (if it survives) and the Minotaur really come into their own. However, like for example the last Ranked game I played, I got 2 caps, 2 kills, spotted a bunch and only got 3rd on the xp table because my raw damage was less than the BB's who spent the match brawling each other. Well, when I say brawling, I mean sitting bow on and tanking each other at 15km. With my side using me in my Minotaur to keep them and the other side's CA's spotted. So, it came down to damage, not contribution to the game....which I think takes away from the matches. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There fixed it. It doesn't matter either way. It's still better to be last on the winning team than first on the losing side. If you play a DD in this TX ranked, you will likely score less than a BB, but its you, not the BB, that decides the game outcome. To my way of thinking, I'd rather secure the win myself and score less, than play as a damage-farming BB hoping my DD wont mess it up. (In Gearing I'm currently standing at 71% WR on 7 battles (5:2) in ranked, though only miserable avg damage.) The reward for ranked isn't the XP anyway, the real loot is the steel and flags, and those just come with advancing rank. Edited June 4, 2019 by Rina_Pon did the WR math wrong ...

10 SakamotoCat Member 13 posts 12,432 battles Report post #9 Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) complain about rank 5 queue week later please. CV in rank right now very unbalanced, because CV can easily farm more damage and be top xp. Rental ships? hmm, yea it bit annoying to see people who never play that ship bring it to rank, but i think it should not be that big of the deal, personally i didn't bother that aspect, acutally more noobs player join is statistically good thing because make easier to rank up.
