HogHammer Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 DevStrike! Fleet Challenge Details and Rules - As part of our one-year anniversary, DevStrike!’s “Fleet Challenge”, for Tier 8 ships, is a contest for forum members to test skills and tactics to determine which player can do the greatest damage in a Co-op or Random battles. There will be prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place entrants. Any player regardless of the server played on and registered as a forum member, is welcome to participate. DevStrike! staff may participate for honorary mention only. (New members who recently joined must have at least one posted message to enter “Fleet Challenge.”) Please read the “Fleet Challenge” rules posted below. You MUST follow them to qualify to win a prize. Every effort was made to make it fair and outline how the contest works. Also, as the rules state, DO NOT post your entries or any results here in this thread or any other thread in DevStrike. Doing so can disqualify you from “Fleet Challenge”. All entries are to be directly messaged to DevStrike! @Submissions with “Fleet Challenge” in the subject line. Good luck, and happy hunting. Have fun! DevStrike “Fleet Challenge” Rules: STARTS: Monday, September 2, 2024 ENDS: Midnight Sunday, September 29, 2024 FINAL SUBMISSION DATE: All screenshot submissions are to be sent to @Submissions no later than Midnight Monday, September 30, 2024 NOTE: Only games played between the posted start and end dates that meet the requirements set forth below and are submitted before the final submission date qualify.

This is to avoid fraudulent submissions AND because DevStrike! needs to know your in-game username to send the prize if you win. Screenshots must be original and not altered by any means. Altered screenshots result in immediate disqualification. All entries MUST contain screenshots of the following three (3) post-battle results screens, or they will be rejected (no exceptions). Personal Score (MUST show it was a Co-op or Random game as well as the date you played it) Team Score (the standings). Detailed Report (shows what you did damage to). - See examples below - The screenshot requirement is very important and must be followed. Examples are shown above. You may submit as many entries in various categories as you wish. You could win up to THREE prizes. Once you submit your initial entry, only submit entries that have a HIGHER damage total moving forward. DO NOT post your entries or post any results in this thread... PM entries to @Submissions only. If you post any results (screenshots, written account of your damage total, etc.) in the forum thread, you will be disqualified from “Fleet Challenge”. No exceptions! ALL results will be kept private between the entrant and @Submissions until the contest ends and the winner’s announcement. We (DevStrike!) reserve the right to disqualify any entrant who abuses/breaks any of the contest rules or attempts to fabricate results. PRIZES: 1ST PLACE: 12,500 Doubloons. Awarded to the entrant with the HIGHEST DAMAGE in a single game/category. 2ND PLACE: 7,500 Doubloons. Awarded to the entrant with the 2nd HIGHEST DAMAGE in a single game/category. 3RD PLACE: 5,000 Doubloons. Awarded to the entrant with the 3rd HIGHEST DAMAGE in a single game/category. TIEBREAKERS: In the rare event we have a tie (2 or more entrants with the exact same damage done) for a prize, the following tiebreakers will be used... Most Kills (if entrant A has 5 kills and entrant B has 4, entrant A wins). Potential Damage Taken (whichever entrant has the highest potential damage taken wins). Coin Flip (if kills and potential damage, do not break the tie. A coin flip will be used). In the event tiebreakers are needed, the player that loses the tiebreaker will win the next lowest prize... RESULTS & PRIZES: Results will be posted on Saturday, October 5th (approximately noon Central U.S. Time) Prizes will be sent as soon as DevStrike! has confirmed with the winners all the necessary information for prize delivery. BONUS PRIZES: All participants of “Fleet Challenge” (excluding those who won 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place prizes) will be eligible for a special random drawing of five additional gifts. (The exact amount (value) of doubloons is to be determined at a later date). DISCLAIMER: DevStrike reserves the right to amend these rules if necessary to address unforeseen situations. All announced results and decisions are final judgments made by DevStrike! As a reminder, this contest is all about damage in co-op or random battles, whether it's a win or a loss. 7 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildWind84 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 guys, how I can make screenshots on my laptop??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfswetpaws Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 6 minutes ago, WildWind84 said: guys, how I can make screenshots on my laptop??? Options to ponder ... 1. If your laptop has the "CNTL" and the "PrtSC" keys on the keyboard, then hold-down the CNTL key and then press the PrtSc key and then release both. That should take a screen-shot and save it to your "Screenshot" folder within the World of Warships installation folder. 2. Same as above, but using an external keyboard connected via a USB port. 3. Run software that creates a video record of your gameplay. That software is usually sophisticated enough to allow you to cull a screen-shot from any time-stamp within the video. At least, that's the theory. I've not installed that type of software, yet. But, I think that some other DevStrike members, such as @ArIskandir and @Frostbow and @OldSchoolGaming_Youtube have done so. Perhaps they're willing to share their experiences and methods? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ensign Cthulhu Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 16 minutes ago, WildWind84 said: guys, how I can make screenshots on my laptop??? If it's Windows, look for a program called "Snip & Sketch". That will do the job. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HogHammer Posted August 30 Author Share Posted August 30 41 minutes ago, WildWind84 said: guys, how I can make screenshots on my laptop??? As mentioned above, the built-in feature for Windows is really useful. For more instructions, see the link/discussion below. For me, Snipping too is my "go to". It may take some practice, but you can basically select precisely what you want to highlight. This tool is built into Windows 11, and I believe it is an app for Windows 10. (It may already be built in; however, I just don't know offhand.) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the CNTL+PrtSc method, in-game. And it creates a screenshot that is in the "clipboard", which can be "pasted" to an image editing program of my choosing, when out of game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HogHammer Posted August 30 Author Share Posted August 30 Here are some additional options including the one @Wolfswetpaws (CNTL+PrtSc) mentions above. Video is short, sweet and direct. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, whatever is best for you. Personally, given the duration of the contest and the categories involved, I would probably do something like you describe: create a folder on my desktop and collect entries/damage scores over a certain period of time. Just make sure you submit your entries before the deadline! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldSchoolGaming_Youtube Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 2 hours ago, WildWind84 said: guys, how I can make screenshots on my laptop??? If I want to capture a moment ingame I just use the PRTSC-button on my keyboard that then will send a pic to a "screenshot" folder in my WOW folder. Thats the way I take all my post battle screens and things that happen mid game screens, but there are probably other better ways as well. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulf_Ace Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 wouldnt be better to make subbmisions open so everyone can see, I mean what is the point trying to do max dmg in a BB if someone has done lets say 300k dmg on the first couple of days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aleksi111 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 (edited) That would also ruin the exitement, anticipation and the feel of: "This was a great game, I exeeded myself and feel confident" Instead we would risk people would see that monster game up, get indimitated and disheartened and not try their luck. +How it is ATM gives us a change to talk the talk and fool around here for some added humour and community Edited August 30 by aleksi111 Expanded explanation 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aleksi111 Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 (edited) I would wager damage race there might risk ruining the match for others if you/we/me pursue damage over objective Killer Whale is good example.

HogHammer Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 49 minutes ago, Kruzenstern said: Why not Operations 😢 That is undoubtedly an option for a contest in the future. Since this contest, "DevStrike! Fleet Challenge," coincides with our 1st Anniversary of the forum, we wanted a contest to benefit all of the two more popular modes of play (co-op and randoms) with the ability to cover all relevant servers to benefit all forum members. With nearly a month duration and prizes offered in each class category for Tier 8 ships, this more or less is a "sweet spot" for most players - veterans and those relatively new to the game. Also, as a reminder, we are new to running contests. This is only the second contest DevStrike has sponsored. There are undoubtedly additional ideas for contests we can run in the future, but "Fleet Challenge" makes the most sense at this stage in the forum's development and growth. We are also very limited in the type of prizes we can offer since we have zero affiliation with WG. Doubloons are really our only option. However, this benefits the forum members since they have total control over how they wish to spend this in-game currency. Camos, crates, coal, and even ships are nice rewards, but if you are sitting on a large volume of these resources, it probably has less value. And if you already have the ship in your port, you may receive a fraction of its value in in-game currency. Doubloons really give players the most flexibility and options. We welcome any contest ideas you may have for future events. If you have an idea for one, we will certainly consider it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
