Also regarding the website, beyond the initial response I'd gotten I received this today.

I'll reply you later. Sorry for that.

>muting implies the people you're hurling ethnic slurs at understand them.
Good. I wanted the shitskin to know I was calling him a limpwristed, spunk guzzling faggot.
>>160232950
I've done that, obvious teamkilling, ramming on purpose to make BBs miss, used every kind of banter with animals from every continent on earth and trashtalked the comunity manager along with shitting up global chat and never got a warning.
>>160235336
You need to do it in global chat. Retards don't know how to report while ingame.
95% of my chat bans triggered after I said something in global.

>Did it a few times, nothing happened.
Maybe my fanbase is greater than yours? AFAIK the bans are triggered by number of reports.
Also I prefer using tactical strike bantz over high numbers. I have a list of shitters I know I can trigger with a few select words, my latest addition is some kraut fuck who starts spamming global chat after a single "paint your ship" from me.
>>160236750
>my latest addition is some kraut fuck who starts spamming global chat after a single "paint your ship" from me.
Reveal who this shitter is. I have no mouth, and I must shitpost in global.
>>160236530
A new world of banter has opened to you, the broken translation might also piss them off.
>>160236750
It might be that, and I also use the ingame notes to tag the triggers of most shitters that I meet.
>>160236864
>Reveal who this shitter is. I have no mouth, and I must shitpost in global.
I don't remember his name, hertz something, he plays at T8 most of the time. The trick to trigger him is killing him, wait until the end, and when the Victory sign appears on your screen, you type in all chat "paint your ship".
It always works.
>>160237538
>there are people who think painting your ship has no effect and isn't worth it.

HOPES FUCKING DELETED!
Wargaming is getting access to one of my GOTY projects I was honestly looking forward too.. Had been in the beta and they'd gone to an "Internal testing state" so they could "focus on bettering the game" and a hopeful time of 2-3 months or so... that was in Feb or March I think?
... and now Wargaming is going to fuck it up... A finely balanced game made by Devs that listened to the playerbase when appropriate and everything was great. There was a sort of grind but it was enjoyable since every match felt like just another Total War Battle and differences stock to maxed weren't all too bad.
... Wargaming is going to kill it [spoiler;_;]
>>160242718There's a thread about that in the /sog/'s steam group.

Just noticed this while looking at the achievements section. The % represents the total percentage of players who got the achievement.

I can't help but think that planes need a rework. A single plane lighting you up for one second shouldn't see you killed by full salvos from all directions. And a squad of fighters shouldn't be able to completely remove one player from the game.
>>160279743
Agreed. Shitters have too much to crutch on as it is.
Planes shouldn't be something else for them to.

Take your Ethernet cord and connect the two computers together. Then just turn on file sharing and you're set.
Makes the transfer a hell of a lot faster. That's what a buddy and I had done during a few LAN parties, or when we'd made a new computer over the years.

For next OP.
TODAY on Naval Geographic: We observe the mating rituals of subs. Notice how the I-16 already has a child on it's back and still mates. Furthermore, it appears subs are like seahorses in that the male takes care of the offspring, since the I-16 is on top of the I-176. This is of course assuming the male is dominant in subs, and not the other way around.

To the guys who toss up Steel Ocean vids.
If you want to attetion without working hard, upload gameplay of the German DD's. Apparently Wows is working on them or something and so a lot of people are searching for them presently.
And since Youtube's once more forgotten that Steel Ocean exists... might as well label it WoWS like Youtube automatically used to.
Now if you'll excuse me, time to start a new line.

Is this supposed to be possible? Ocean war in competition mode. Enemy bote spawned at our starting position, ship locations roughly as illustrated. Happened both times he got killed, too. I've never seen this before, only spawn locations switching East-West in the team's own end of the map.

The first match is going to be an unknown. The formation we're up against can actually be a massive threat on the right sliders. The thing is the manager is a dumbass however. Whether he'll go full retard for the match or do something sensible for once I don't know.
The last match is free points. I don't know about the second one, but just by looking at it I say we have the first chance.

ello. So what's the story with steel ocean these days.
Prediction: playerbase fell out, only americans playing are the 7 members of NBA left. Dark Judge still cheating, meta still invalid due to this.
>>160774434
DJ is deder than we are
>>160775007
hows the playerbase? been dicking around in wows but wanna come back to SO. superior gameplay, but not enough people.
>>160774434
I would say the server is 30% american, 60% euro and 10% asia/other regions.
http://steamcharts.com/app/390670
>>160772903
See for why I do not play Repulse
>>160679931
>>160775095
Depends on time of day. 7 am till 3 or 4 pm CET is super ded.
>>160775141
Yeah there's an uncomfortable number of euros on the server
>>160775095
during daylight in the US tends to be about 400-600 depending on the exact time of day.
That said the playerbase has actually leveled up to where T7-9 matches can occur rather frequently
As for Dark Judge they've been neutered by other fleets that finally learned the mechanics of the game, or have huffed enough smoke in quanitites that would put opium dens to shame.
Lot of quality of life stuff, new players are handed significant amounts of commanders, XP books, and other things.
AI was added to T1-3 so the hemorrhaging stopped and new players do actually tend to stick around. (Previously they would install the game, sit in queue for god only knows how long before getting in a match or quitting. And since T1 and T2 takes only about a match each to leave there was nobody for brand new guys to fight. AI helped significantly.)
Clubbing was reduced with a commander handicap put in place for T1-5 and recent "You will not gain renown at low tier once you hit a certain rank".
There is currently an Anniversary DLC for free that provides 15 commanders of merit, 500k silver and a unique flag. You can find it on the store page for SO.

The strongest german DD.
Started playing this game monday. Having a good time so far, but sometimes main guns fail to fire, even though the battery is green and im lined up for my shot.
>>160968660
That might be lag, have you checked your ping when that happens?
>>160969873
I havent seen it get bad when this happens, ive been focusing entirely on getting in a couple of good hits.
Ill check into that in the next instance.
>>160956484
Nope
>>160971074
The only times I've seen my guns green and not responding to my clicks are when I'm under heavy lag (sometimes it doesn't show in the UI only after the games get "normal").
If you could do a webm or video of the issue on a training room I might help you more, otherwise ask in the steam forums if anyone else has the same issue and/or if they solved it.
>>160954523
I always roll Luckner, Reinhard and Nakayama on BB. It becomes important when the round turns into BB mano-a-mano, because the one who gets to draw first wins nine times out of ten, especially with Ottoloader. Faggets with only offensive commanders are boating blind and there's a huge disparity between their spotting range and yours.

I love dodging like mad because you can't DC him until everything else is dead.
I love driving in circles until he loses his patience and fires a spread.
I love slightly miscalculating the angle so I have to start all over again.
Truly the best gaming has to offer
>>161064254
Almost as fun as driving in circles while shooting down multiple fighter squads
>>161064254
>>161065549
Way to brush aside all issues the game has
>>161064341
Fighter spotting is fucking cancerous. The way they prevented this in NF2 was that if you assigned plons directly on top of a ship, they'd sustain ridiculous amount of passive AA damage. A fighter squad would only last some seconds. They should come up with something similar for this game. If the plane spotting commander bonuses apply to fighters, then they should fix that shit at least.

Yeah first season, I watched those games, pretty fun times. Then I forgot about 4cc until now and wow things have changed. Players' aesthetics were limited to the uniforms and "normal human sliders" like haircut or skin color, I still remember Mugi being a meters buffed as fuck black guy in the /a/ team, and accel being a scrawny albino manlet.
Now, we have a little girl with a miniskirt and giant F U T A D I C K going around, gotta love how technology advances.

>steam nomination could potentially make this game almost not ded for a few days!
Haha do you really think more than 10 people voted?
>>161140692
M-maybe the steam high council will pick the game with less votes? The description of the awards itself is pretty light hearted, like "we will pick the winners for the lulz, don't even think your vote matters".
Botes
>>161140692
I'm pretty sure myself and four others I bugged about it voted! And none of them are in fleet even, so that's not counting No Botes Allowed.
>>161144665
The award will go to the game willing to pay for that advertisement

fucking dead indeed
Ok, some group stage math:
>/rlg/ wins against /acg/
/sog/ advances on a win, but on a loss promotion also depends on the result of /rlg/-/ss13g/, not only on our last match, so it's a double-edged sword.
>/acg/ wins against /rlg/
/sog/ can't possibly qualify after only two matches, however it also doesn't depend on the result of /rlg/-/ss13g/, so we'd be in full control.
>draw between the two
Best case scenario, we're through on a win, and we're in full control of our fate in case we lose.
That said, it's most likely that /rlg/ wins against /acg/.

/wtg/ playing right now on the /sog/ stadium.
>>161159706
Oh man, the AFA, brings me some good memories of mooching on a press pass and wasting money on overpriced merch. It'll probably be impossible to find him even if you know what he looks like, given the attendance and how cramped Suntec is.If you want cheap shit, go on the last day when the merch is on last minute crash sale.

We are not currently ranked for FB rewards so it'd be great if we could do some before the end of the month
Our match should be starting soon-ish
>>161168715
5~ish minutes, considering post match and pre match.

>>161173008
Good game, it was actually pretty fun and close on the first half. Then the 5v5 tryhardness kicked in.
Hope you guys get to win versus /rlg/ and go with us into the VGL.

I've known about this game but the /ss13g/ - /sog/ match today got me actually interested in it. Is it still populated?
>>161184451
It has an stable population, not bleeding, not rising. The NBA Fleet has players either ingame or in teamspeak almost 24/7 if you want to stack, or you can just ask in thread and people will show up. From tier 1 to 3 matches are populated with bots and from T4 to 6-7 you'll find the most pop in queue so you might not have problems playing solo at any time either.
>>161184451
It's small, but not dead. High tier queuing can take fairly long, otherwise it's ok.
>>161178179
Woot!
Sweet! Watching the match now.
>>161183735
But I thought that wasKongou!))))))
I missed the match. Is it up to watch the replay of it yet?

Thank you good sir!

in the middle of rendering an /sog/ commentary version I'd recorded (As I had been unable to make the match.)
that'll be up 'soon'
>>161192109
I'll have to listen to that in the background. Especially since the Announcers had no clue at all about our memes.

>losing 2-0 with 65% possession
LMAO

>>161192796
Don't take it at face value, it was possession vs. counter. The stats were going to look like that regardless of score.
I worked for a whole year just to see this. Now I can RIP in cheddar.
>>161192796
Possession is a negative stat.
>>161193262
That fucking retarded Kongou.
>>161193825
When I have some time I'll do a round of Kongou sealclubbing to celebrate this victories. With Kongou Pak on loop. Might even stream it.
