Unsportsmanship conduct by DDs en-masse in Brawl due to Dockyard mission requirements... :-(

Hi all,

 

Unsportsmanship conduct by DDs en-masse in Brawl due to Dockyard mission requirements... 😞

 

I see a lot of DDs lately in the Brawl.

 

Many of them just rush into CAPs and then suicide without even attempting of doing any damage to enemy.

 

When I asked the why are they doing that - the answered that they are only interested in "Dockyard Mission requirement" and nothing else... they don't care about Brawl as such at all... and they don't give a damn about ruining the battle for their unfortunate Brawl "partner"... 😞

This is why every mission but "win games" is shit.

[SunkCostFallacy]

Sadly this is a feature of the game, as per the way WG run it.

It's prevalent in every mode, it's just a bigger deal when it happens in a harder mode (like PVP or Asymmetric).

It is, not surprisingly, one of the reasons that I only play PVE modes ... that way I'm not dependent on my team mates being competent or unselfish.

What is the mission requirement? Sink quickly?

lol the dockyard sure gets blamed for a ton of negative things.

I'll need to remember that when next someone 'compliments' my performance.

Heh.
I must be a little confused.
1.  Because a ship cannot aim its weapons at itself.  So, how are they "suiciding", exactly?
2.  Torpedo DD's are typically supposed to keep the firing of their main-guns to a minimum, in order to remain stealthy.
3.  Which Dockyard mission criteria is involved, specifically?

Should it be 'more abstract' than that?

The exist infront of enemy ship and just wait to be killed.

 

2.

In most cases the don't even try to torp - see 1. above.

 

3.

24 CAPs in DD

It does indeed when it is a root cause.

What I find astonishing is WG staffs idea that they are simultaneously not responsible for the game but are the only ones who can make changes to it.

It's such an absurdly easy lie to expose. At this point I can only assume it's a self delusion or a mechanism to keep WG senior leadership from punishing the peons for the faults of the leadership.

Do they then actually manage the capping part?

Yes, you are..!  A normal state in this game we play...

If there is no DD in your team - 100% certain they do.

Just use, for example Kleber... CAP and die in 3 minutes... just rinse and repeat...

With regards the bit I bolded:

I went into a COOP match and to my amazement I watched one of my (few) teammates in that match destroy his own ship.

How? You might ask ... and well you should, Oh Mighty Wolf of the Seas!

'Twas a CV and he bombed himself. Over and Over and Over. If he'd wanted to die he could have done it faster just yoloing, I think.

I sent the replay to a CM because I couldn't get the ticket system to work.

 

Some people are just weird, I reckon.

Ah.  I had forgotten about that possibility (CV targeting itself, which would also include the hybrid-ships).
Are CV's allowed this brawls session?

Edit:  I just checked.  CV's aren't allowed in the current brawls event.  Just battleships, cruisers and destroyers.

Well that depends on your perspective.

While paying so much attention to the DDS you may be missing ALL of the others there doing silly things to get that PD mission done as well.

Running around not doing anything but dodging until they die without supporting the Objectives or  DDs or much of anything else.

Some barely even firing their weapons at all.

It's the base the WG people want.

 Aimlessly Grind grind grind =$$$$

20 Min Strategic battles slow that down.

What's WG's fault here?... Having missions to acomplish specific tasks?

They certainly are not at fault for player stupidity

I wasn't doing 'thread' ... I was doing "Hey, that reminds me!"

I'm far too sweet and innocent a player to indulge in a horrid game mode called "Brawl". Perish the thought!

Just now, Admiral_Karasu said:

If You ask me, stupidity. The primary objective is always to win the Match... All the Dockyard, Campaigns or whatever mission are secondary objectives.   

Granted there is an alternate explanation: inadequacy. I'm so bad that winning matches is beyond My reach and worst of all, I don't Even try. What's left for me to feel acomplishment is to Center on the secondary objectives. But this is really applied stupidity so I classify it under the general stupidity.

[Tricericon]

They're not even helping themselves much; I'm averaging 1.5 DD caps per game playing to win.
