Begrüßung und Rückkehr von Bogsy

00:03:43

00:03:43 This is your captain speaking. If you will, please, take a look at the screen in front of you. You will see a Bogsy. It's a very special opportunity to see a Bogsy. We don't always see him on these flights, but this time around, we were fortunate enough to catch one. And hello, a wild Boggy has appeared. Hello, Gaishu. How you doing, man? It's wonderful to be back on screen with the one and only Bogsy time. The one and only time of Bogsy. It's true. Hope you guys are all doing well. I have had a very nice 12 weeks.

00:04:13 12 whole streams without you. 12 whole streams where I didn't have to deal with Bogsy next to me. Oh well, all good things come to an end. You're very, very lucky that I don't have any feelings. Because if I had feelings, Gaisu, you would be hurting them. I missed him. I missed him. For those of you who were not informed, I was busy having a baby.

00:04:39 You had a baby. I did. That's right. I did. No, of course not. My wife had a baby. My awesome wife, Bree. Some of you guys may know her as Bree Joyful in the chat and whatnot. I saw her earlier in the chat. I think she's here right now. Oh my gosh, really? Yeah. She did an amazing job having a baby. It was not actually me. That was a joke. Moral support. I know that everybody says...

00:05:08 ...that their own baby is the cutest baby ever. Um, that's a lie. All those people were lying. Because our baby is actually the cutest baby that's ever. I will concede that Moggy's baby is pretty cute. Right? She's so cute! We're not really showing pictures publicly of her yet, I think.

00:05:28 We're afraid that if we have a camera take a picture of her that it might actually steal her soul. So, um, at least that is how it's gonna explain me. I think that's how it works, right? How's that Simpsons where Grandpa gets his... Give me back my soul! Uh, but anyway, she's pretty darn cute. And, um, and now I'm back. Because, uh, money must be made. So here we are. I'm kidding. What I really couldn't do was stay away from you guys.

00:05:56 Dogs, you missed everybody here in chat. Mostly guys shoot. Chaos Machine here to welcome you back to the game. Chaos Machine, incredible this, my friend. How are you doing? From Texas to Greece. This is wonderful. Yeah.

00:06:14 Chaos, was a guy. I gotta send you a picture of the baby Chaos. I'm gonna get an incredibleness out of it. Did you just annihilate that Wisconsin? I only landed four. I wanted to land five and kill him. That's brutal. So what's been going on guys? What have I missed?

00:06:35 Ja, bitte. Es ist definitiv nicht mein Job zu catchen. No. In der Chat, was passiert in World of Warships in den letzten 12 Wochen? Ich bin in der Nacht. Ich bin in der Nacht. Ich bin Clueless. Als viele von euch wissen, ist es ein General Rule. Ich bin Clueless. Oh, wir haben ihn. All right. Nice. Ich glaube, du hast all die Arbeit gemacht. Oh, ja. 45k. Ich will das.

00:06:59 Geishu hat eine Beard! Geishu hat eine Beard! Geishu hat eine Beard! Geishu hat eine Beard! Geishu hat eine Beard! Geishu hat eine Beard! Geishu hat eine Beard! Geishu hat eine Beard! Geishu hat eine Beard! Geishu hat eine Beard! Geishu hat eine Beard! Geishu hat eine Beard! Geishu hat eine Beard! Geishu hat eine Beard! Geishu hat eine Beard!

00:07:30 By the way, I don't know how relevant this is for the chat, but in terms of having babies as a general rule of thumb, I give it two thumbs up, because it's been pretty great. Really? Yes. What about your sleep? You probably didn't sleep anyways. The first seven weeks were, with regards to sleep, were pretty rough'ems. The wife can...

00:08:00 Oh, I concur with that. Oh, dear. I'll tell you guys a little secret, which is that babies are born with their birth weight, of course, but... Wait, babies are born? Yeah, isn't that crazy? It's not actually a historic guy. I thought they were dropped off by... You got that kill, too? Are you kidding me? That was the game just saying welcome back. Come on. The game was saying welcome back. Bruh. I hit two torps on that guy. The third one was literally on his hole. I literally... Okay, I'm sorry. I literally ganked that kill for me.

00:08:29 I haven't used the word ganked since I played Dota way back in the day, but you just got ganked. It happens. It does happen.

00:08:40 Anyway, babies don't sleep through the night until they get back to their birth weight, which is something I had no idea about. But when babies are born, they actually lose a little bit of weight for the first up to, you know, about a month while they're getting essentially all their antibodies and all their sweet, sweet immune system goodness and whatnot. So then they start gaining a little bit of weight back. And once they get their birth weight back, then...

00:09:07 They can start sleeping through the night. Otherwise, they have to be fed every two hours throughout the night. That was rough. So it took about seven weeks for her to sleep through the night, but life got much easier once that happened. And now, also right around the same time, at about seven weeks, you guys, she started smiling. Like, Bogsy's poor heart. His poor heart. It was just, I was crushed. It was like...

00:09:35 I cannot exist in a world with something this absolutely adorable. I simply can't. I was like a dog on the internet. I just couldn't even right now, you guys. Understandable. Yeah, right? Oh, in comes the Kearsarge. That Kearsarge was busy launching planes at me while I was ruining his day. Perhaps he should have remembered that he's not actually an aircraft carrier. Not a carrier. Anyway.

00:10:04 Sorry, I'm just chatting. Chatting away like... Is that the same category now, just chatting? Yeah, just chatting. There's a Bazan over there? What the heck? I know, right? That kind of surprised me. Is he looking for me? I think he is. I think he's hunting you down. And he's a little too far away for me to hit properly, so...

00:10:22 Good luck. Well, I'm gonna try to see if I can hit this Hindi with Torps. You know. Maybe not, he might have Hydro. There's also a Shinano in front of you. There is, but he's moving away from me. I mean, I'm in a kind of precarious position here, to be honest. If the Shinano decides that you should be attacked, then yeah, you might be in a little trouble.

Ankündigung des neuen Patches 14.4 und Azur Lane

00:10:40

00:10:40 Will never expect me to go to A5. No, he probably would not. I'll try and get the Handyberg's attention. So, today's patch day. For those of you who pay attention to things, today's patch day. Which is pretty exciting, because there's new stuff in the game. First and foremost of which, I'm going to say, I'm just going to call it, say...

00:11:04 Azur Lane has returned. Oh, what are you playing right now, Bogsy? I'm playing an Azur Lane Hindenburg. What are you shooting at right now? An Azur Lane Hindenburg. Oh, what a coincidence. I know. Actually, Gaisu and I just learned that this is one of two Azur Lane Tier X ships. The only other one, as far as I'm aware, and you all can correct me if I'm wrong, which does happen sometimes. What? You're never wrong. Ael Shima, which I believe Gaisu's playing right now. I might be playing that right now. Gaisu might be playing Ael Shima. Yeah, the Ael skins all look very nice. Even if...

00:11:34 Honestly, if you're not an enjoyer of the East Asian arts, then you still look pretty good. Oh, victory! Oh, he zeroed them? Oh, he zeroed them. And Bogsy has two of my kills? Yep. Come on. I know, sorry man.

00:11:48 Are these camos the new ones available today? I think the Hindenburg is the new one. I think Azur Lane Shimakaze was available previously. Yeah, pretty quick match. Yeah, there's some more stuff coming out too, but not everything is... There are more ships being released in this patch, but we shouldn't be talking about them because they're not off of NDA just yet. They're still on the naughty list. Well, I'm really short right now. Look at that. Maybe I should tilt my camera down a little bit. I think this was...

00:12:16 I have a very short torso. I think this was set up for us, Conts. Perhaps. I mean, I'm pretty low down there, too, on the camera, to be honest. Oh, yeah, I guess so. It's okay. There we go. All right. Hello, chat. This is your chance to talk to Bogsy after three months. Three whole months. I had a squirrel baby, and this baby needs to be fed every hour for more than eight weeks. Hold on. It scrolled away. Now he is strong and runs around and climbs on everything in my house.

00:12:45 Ich wusste nicht, dass die Leute haben. Ich wusste, dass sie Leute haben. Das ist weird. Da ist Brie Joyful. Hallo Brie Joyful. Du bist gut mit der Baby. Game Info, du hast keine Babys? Das ist gut. Er kam hier für den World of Warships, nicht? Oh, ich meine, wir sind Streaming World of Warships. Er war Babys? Er war Babys? Er war Babys? Er war Babys? Er war Babys? Er war Babys? Er war Babys? Er war Babys? Er war Babys? Er war Babys? Er war Babys? Er war Babys? Er war Babys? Er war Babys? Er war Babys?

00:13:19 What is the next Arpego of Blue Steel collaboration? Oh my goodness. First Rule Collab Club. We do not talk about Collab Club. Look at all these familiar faces. Derbach, Finder Keeper, Biggles of Fleet Air Arm. Some of you guys, I legitimately... Beasley! Oh, it's Beasley! Some of these folks, I literally remember from early 2020 when I started streaming on my own. Some of you folks are...

00:13:49 Es ist schön zu sehen, dass die Leute ja, die Leute sind so old Freunde an diesem Punkt ist, was ich jetzt was ich für. Kommt, Leute, ihr habt für die ganze Schreie, einfach nur die ganze Schreie, einfach nur die ganze Schreie, einfach nur auf der Bottom. Sit auf und Proud und Tall. Ich habe eine Strecke. Ja, ich muss nur die Kamera aufbauen. Vielleicht kann ich die Kamera aufbauen. Ist das besser? Das ist ein bisschen besser. Ich habe es versucht.

00:14:13 We have all the secret spreadsheets right behind us here on the floor. So if we tilt down too much, you guys will see them. Yeah, that would be that. Spreadsheet. Yeah, not a crazy shirt today. Today, my crazy shirt says...

00:14:29 Foxy's dad shirt. My jokes are officially dad jokes. So. Is that gray in your beard? Yes. I've been talking about his gray hair today. Yeah. Guys, I'm 40. It's not gray, it's silver. You may not have known this, but while I was gone, I turned 40, so. Damn. 40 years young. 40 years young. Holy shit. How about that?

00:14:56 Wait till she discovers she has hands. It's really funny. Yes, she has. She's discovered she has hands. And it is so funny to watch this little critter just like see hands and then just sort of. Oh, then the hands start going.

00:15:14 Your baby question is very good, Bogsy. Thank you. Thanks, man. Babies for the baby god. That's how it works. Anyway, it's wonderful to see all of you again. Thanks for showing up. Wow, look at that. 2,400 people in the first 15 minutes already. That's awesome. I think you should hear Professor McGonigal. Oh, yes. While Brie was pregnant with the baby...

00:15:42 I would read at night. By the way, anyone who's expecting, it's very good for daddies to read to the growing baby inside. Because then they're familiar with your voice. So we read Harry Potter. And I did the voices of all the different Harry Potter characters. Because I'm a handler. My dad used to read Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings to me. And he would do the voices. And apparently I would tell him to stop doing the voices. Dad, stop. This is embarrassing.

00:16:11 Just read the book, Todd. Just read the book. Nobody cares. Cool. Was your desk filled with baby rattles? No. My desk doesn't actually get filled with anything, because it's just a... Unfortunately, we did not think of any baby-related rags to pull on Bogsy for his return. That's totally fine. We figured he had enough grief over the last three months. Yeah.

00:16:35 Well, let's see. We've got a whole patch to go over, but I feel like we should just play another game. Yeah. Because I played a few games. Augie's a little rusty. I played a few games over the break. I shouldn't say break. It wasn't a break. I'm busy, man. Anything in particular you want to play? I kind of want to play St. Vincent. St. Vinny. Okay, cool. Grab a tier 10, maybe. Unless you have a preference for someone else. Nah.

00:17:06 Part of me wants to play a Druid, but I feel like it might be a little too involved. Smaland, I haven't played Smaland. Druid involved? You just smoke up and shoot people. I know. Pretty simple. It's true. It's not super difficult, is it? Cabba? I haven't played Cabba in a while. Sherman. Cabba's a fun one. What I should do is I should play something with Torps so that I can...

00:17:30 Talk to chat more. Wait for two minutes, Torp. Yeah, exactly. I'll play Gearing. I'll play Gearing here. Old Faithful. I know, Old Faithful, right? Yeah. Torp set up? Okay. You know, it's so funny. I've heard, I've done a lot of live events for World of Warships now over the years. Wow, I sound old. And oftentimes people will say, hey.

00:17:55 Wie ist World of Warships, wie kann man die Leute justify Powercreep aus den alten Lagen? Und ich würde sagen, das ist interessant. Ich würde sagen, würde ich sagen, welche Lagen du denken haben Powercrept? Und sie sagen, dass sie die Amerikaner Deidys und Battleships sagen. Weil niemand sagt Des Moines, right? Niemand sagt Des Moines ist Powercrept. Und ich denke zu mir, wie...

00:18:22 Dude, Montana's amazing. It's still super good. And Gearing? It doesn't have like a whole lot of bells and whistles, but... I think the main thing with Gearing is just that I think over time its role has evolved a lot. Yeah. From back when the only Destroyers in the game at Tier X, right, were Gearing and Shima. Right. Gearing was basically THE gunboat because Shima is definitely not a gunboat. Definitely not. And over time we've had things like Daring, Kaba, Kleber. Right. So Gearing has just evolved into more of like a hybrid. Yeah.

00:18:49 More of a jack-of-all-trades that's mostly torpedo-focused. And close-range gun-focused, yeah. So, I don't know. I think it's... If you sort of just kind of keep it in mind that roles change, depending on what else is available, then you sort of go, okay, I think I see the niche where this fits in. Yeah, yeah. Still, it's one of the best smoke screens in the game. Saron and Smolens still rock. They sure do. There's Ascance in the chat there. Nice to see you, buddy. We just had lunch with Ascance. It was wonderful.

00:19:19 I had a good laugh. He had lots of laughs. Lots of laughs. Can't wait for the day when Bogsy will be power crept by baby Bogsy. Might happen sooner than you know it. I'll just stop being a gunboat focused Bogsy and I'll become a hybrid Bogsy. Hybrid Bogsy. Bring back the Missouri.

00:19:42 Ja, wo die Leute in Austin essen essen? Wir sind nicht sagen, dass. Wir sind nicht sagen, dass. Da sind viele gute Lieblingspläte in Austin. Ja. Da sind viele gute Lieblingspläte hier. Können Sie einen. Können Sie einen. Können Sie einen. Wir wissen. Wir haben die Missouri zurückgebracht. Aber ich glaube, jetzt ist die einzige Möglichkeit, die es in den Weihnachten ist, in den Weihnachten. Ich glaube, das war das letzte Mal. Ja, ich glaube, es ist noch in den Weihnachten. Das ist wie ich einen bekommen habe.

00:20:10 I mean, special ships like the Missouri tend to come back for either specific events or in late Christmas greets. You never know. Might be coming back soon. Who knows? Wisconsin. Wisconsin was a dockyard ship. Those dockyard ships are pretty special. They don't come back very often because we like to make them exclusive for the folks that really wanted them.

00:20:31 and worked hard to get them. Obviously with Dockyard Ships, if you play through the missions, you can earn yourself a very, very steep discount on the ship itself. Usually you can get all but the last two phases just by completing the combat missions. If you complete all the combat missions, usually just buying a starter pack or the last two phases individually will get it done for pretty cheap. Any news?

00:20:56 auf den ersten zwei Unique Commander-Releases, King of Balrogs. Ich denke, was du sagen, ist, wenn sie wieder zurückkommt? So, Lisboa und Telfer? Wir haben viele Fragen über Lisboa, vor allem, zum Beispiel. Er war, glaube ich, für die WAUS-Anni-Versary letztes Jahr. Wir haben meistens eine Jahrzehnte, bevor wir einen Unique Commander-Reise haben, um andere Faschen zu machen, also wir versuchen, um das zu bringen. Aber nichts zu share für heute.

00:21:24 Ja. Unique Commanders, we do bring them back eventually. We just try to find something, like Kaishu was saying. We just try to find an opportunity to bring them back in a way that's interesting.

00:21:38 Helfrich. Das ist richtig. Ja. Die Spicey Airstrikes. Spicey Airstrikes. Ja, du kannst eine mehr Airstrike, wie die Hauden, zum Beispiel, so du kannst die Daylights aus den Leuten mit genug Chargen. Commander Spicey Airstrikes. Das ist die offiziell Name. Ja. Ich denke, das ist das, was wir namen die Abilität, Spicey Airstrikes.

00:22:00 I may have made a small mistake by backing up like this. How's the middle of the map working out? I know, I was like... I was trying to just get... I should have just turned around, but... I was impatient, what can I say? Oh, I just have a bunch of destroyers smoked up here so I can't see anything. Feels bad. Feels bad, man.

00:22:23 Maybe I should be loading HE here for this battle in Montana. That would be a good idea. Will we please get the Mastery Badges to show in port? Definitely something we can forward as feedback. I think that's a great idea, by the way. And we're definitely also looking right now at ways to add more customization options that we might be able to share more news about soon. But how about that? The Mastery Badges and then Marks of Excellence, I think, were mentioned in Patch Notes a while back, or the Roadmap. And Waterline, I think we mentioned that Marks of Excellence. Yes, really excited for that.

00:22:52 Das ist eine meiner Lieblings-Werld-of-Tanks, was die Marks of Excellence. So, ich bin sehr, sehr glücklich, dass ich mich in World of Warships gekommen bin. Ja! Ich liebe Flare, was kann ich sagen? Fogsie likes being the best und showing that he's the best. Als ich, literally, am sitting next to the best. He's not allowed to say it, aber ich sage es für ihn.

00:23:19 I think I'm probably going to get torped by a Zao. Sport by a Zao? Giga embarrassed. Well, I smoked up right in front of him and he's got good torped angles. Are you aware, Geishu, that Zao has good torped angles now? I am. I've actually played it a few times since it got buffed. Yeah? That was super comfy. He did. Look at this, you guys. The Zao tried to torp me. I'm shocked. What a hero. What a hero. I got everything here as a smokescreen. What's going on? I know, right? That's crazy.

00:23:52 Ich meine, die E-Badges würden sehr gut auf Ihren Spielen. Ja, es wäre cool. Es wäre cool zu haben, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um, mehr, um,

00:24:22 Do I get me a Kremlin? All I want is a Kremlin. I think Torps is hard, man. I always try to think rationally. What would this person rationally do? What is their next logical course of action? And I'll Torp for that. They just do something that makes no sense.

00:24:47 We have somebody on the World of Warships account threatening to throw quackens at Bogsy. Throw quackens at me? I just got back. Already they're threatening me with violence. Who do we think that might be? I'm just kidding. Not violence. A good time. I think that's probably Legionnaire. That's a good guess. Oh, there's a broadside genon where I have Ichi loaded. So sad. Big sad. Big sad.

00:25:16 Ich habe den 10k gewonnen. Das wäre incorrect. Es ist nicht Legionnaire, ja. Es ist nicht? Ich glaube, Legionnaire ist immer in der Chat auf seine eigene Account. Oh, das ist ja. Er ist ja, er ist ja... Er würde niemals jemanden aufzunehmen. Er wird seine Hände dirty. Er ist ein Mann, der seine Hände dirty.

00:25:43 Evan is also usually in chat under his own account. Yeah, he's usually in chat. Okay, well then maybe... Process of elimination?

00:25:52 Ich weiß nicht. Das ist eine gute Frage. Vielleicht Kresantos? Oh, okay. Ich denke, es ist Kresantos. Das ist eine gute Frage. Ich würde gerne mehr options für die Emote-Wheel. Oh, Flank-Left oder Flank-Rite. Oder Push-Rite oder Push-Left. Das ist interessant. So, du willst mehr legitimate commands? Ja, mehr Quick-Communication-Command-In-Game würde cool. Das wäre cool. Nicht ein Bad-Suggestion.

00:26:17 Everything has smoke here, this is ridiculous! I can't see anything Voxy, help! You can't see? I can't see, I need new glasses. Need some glasses that can see through smoke. Correct! Not on Crescento's, not on his count, he just checked drops. Oh yeah, that's right. I think we had to check a quick last minute issue with the mystery drop to make sure it was working. Yes, but it should be. Everything should be all set with that now.

00:26:51 Oh, Montana turning broadside to me? Could be good. You have four torpedo hits? Yes. I am a baller. I be baller. The way you said that was very matter-of-fact. Yes, Skyshears. Of course, Bogsy. I am the illest of the ill.

00:27:21 Very dadballer. Very dadballer, yeah. It's true. True, man. Did you say Chrysantos has invaded our country? He actually is here in the office. To be fair, he was invited. Was he? Yes. We aren't getting Anschlussed? No, we are not getting Anschlussed.

00:27:57 Oh, ich habe die coolen Red Ray Particle effect. I love the enemy destruction effects. I'm eating torpedoes. How are you? Rip. Riparoni. I don't know why, but the enemy destruction effects for me, those are something that, like, they really... I've been playing this game for, like, seven years now, and, you know...

00:28:27 Es ist nicht ein ganzes Suspension of Disbelief left für mich. Es ist ein Spiel und ich arbeite. Aber für einen Grunde, die Enemy Destruction Effects machen mich viel Spaß mit es wieder. Ich meine, viele sind einfach einfach. Die sind einfach cool. Ja, haben Sie gesehen das neue, die Cartoon Boom Destruction Effect? Ja, ich glaube nicht, ich habe es auf jeden Fall geöffnet, aber ich habe gesehen. Ich denke, es war in der Deblog für 14.5. Oh, weil es nicht out yet ist.

00:28:55 Ich glaube, ich habe es gesehen. Ich habe ein vieles Aufmerksamkeit auf Reddit. Uh oh, das ist immer gut. In eine gute Weise. Was? Wie kann das überhaupt nicht gut sein? Als ich hired habe, ich war gesagt, die beste Weg zu halten, ist zu nicht auf Reddit sein. So far, es funktioniert okay. Hallo, Admiral Raven, nice to see you. Polish DJ, nice to see you as well. Ich habe alle diese coolen Leute.

00:29:25 Are there carriers in Perilous Route? Still need to shoot down 25 planes? Yes. If you mean, are there carriers to shoot? Yes. There are planes that you can shoot down in Perilous Route. You'll hear my voice just crack? Yikes. What? No. That's embarrassing. Where is this Genon? Is he still in the smoke? I don't think so. Close.

00:29:52 Maybe I should have waited a little bit on that shot. Or overpens. Gah. Gah. Gah. I remember why there are reasons why I usually don't play Battleships. Because I am terrible at them. Really? Yeah. It's always strange for me to think that Geisha's terrible at anything that has to do with Broke. I try to play all the classes fairly often, but I think Battleships are still one of my most least played. Oh, that's Torpedoes. Oh, we got him, at least.

00:30:21 A lot of healable HP luck from me though.

00:30:25 What would you say is your best ship? My best ship? Individual ship. Yeah, just individual ship, not class. I think it's either Des Moines or Clever. Clever. Of course. Of course it is. I have like probably over a thousand Clan Battle games in Clever alone. A thousand? Yeah. I mean, I used to play about between 200 to 300 games per Clan Battle season. Damn, dude. And I think we played at least three seasons with Clevers. Wow.

00:30:54 Das ist verrückt. Ja, ein paar. Ja, ein paar. Ja, ein paar. Ja, ein paar. Ja, ein paar. Ja, ein paar. Ich würde sagen, ein paar. Ja, ein paar. Ein paar. Ja, ein paar. Ein paar. Ein paar. Ein paar. Ein paar. Ein paar. Ein paar. Ein paar. Ein paar.

00:31:21 He'd throw in, sometimes, 250 games, and we'd just be like, dude, thank God for Harb, like, carrying us all in his big strong arms.

00:31:31 Can you explain the next season of Clan Battles? I can't because I just got back and I don't know anything anymore. I can give it the old call to try. So this season you may have noticed had a lot of restrictions. Primarily because we were looking for ways to shake up the tier 10 meta that develops pretty quickly in tier 10 Clan Battles, right? In a lot of seasons with the same format people generally know what's going on. A lot of the powerful ships have to be restricted because Clan Battles is a 7v7 format. That plays out very differently from randoms, right?

00:32:00 So the lots of restrictions, changing restrictions every couple weeks keeps things fresh at the high end for people in Storm, Typhoon, Hurricane who can adapt to the changes pretty easily and have a pretty deep ship pool. For other teams it's a little bit harder, so restrictions always tend to be a little bit polarizing. Next season we want to try something different with the classified documents, where essentially each ship that is very strong in clan battles will get 0 to 1 slots to apply classified documents.

00:32:28 Schiffs, die sind average, werden 1-2 slots und dann die Weakest Ships werden 2, usually. Und was do Classified Documents do? Ich weiß nicht. Oh, das ist richtig, du vielleicht nicht. Ich weiß nicht, ich weiß nicht. Ja, ich denke Boxing knows. Basically, Classified Documents will apply Buffs and Debuffs from your ship to enemy ships that you pick specifically in the Pre-Battle Countdown. So, was das bedeutet? Das bedeutet, dass das eine Clan Battles-Match mit deinen sechs Freunden ist. Das sieht die enemy Team-Lineup.

00:32:55 In that pre-battle countdown, you get to choose, based on the number of slots that your ship has, a few ships to apply those classified documents to. And what we want to do with classified documents is remove the restriction system for that season. So we can open up a little wider variety of ships to be played, and then hopefully the classified documents will help serve as a balancing factor for them. So we'll see how the season goes for the first couple of weeks. Might apply some changes if we need to, but mostly we just want to see how the system interacts with clan battles. Fair enough, man.

00:33:24 Well, let me... We did pretty well that game. I came pretty close to an E. I saw you got a 1. Yeah, off it by a couple percent. We got a 2. Missed it by that much. I'm going to pull up the news and head over to... Let me know when you want me to show your screen. Yeah, go for it. Here we go.

00:33:50 All right, so if you guys navigate to our website, obviously, there's a whole bunch that you can already see. First and foremost, I want to remind you all that on Sunday, we're doing 2025's Longest Night of Museums. It's the fifth time we've done this. It's a lot of fun. You get to see us interview a number of different representatives from different worship museums. They have promo materials and fun videos that we'll show as well.

00:34:19 Always a lot of fun. So there's an article here that will give you the details. I'm going to be hosting, I think, six hours of it. I think Legionnaire is hosting another six. Yeah, I think we currently have a plan for Boggy to be doing about half the hosting and then Legionnaire to be on for the other half. Right. And then more of Boggy's beautiful face. Poor Gaishu is going to be producing the entire thing. Yep. I'll be behind the chair over there. We're going to jack him up with Red Bull and gummy bears. And say good luck.

00:34:44 So you can take a look at the details here in the article if you'd like to. Event Pass is going to be based off of Operation Dynamo. Gaisu, do you remember what Operation Dynamo was? Yeah, it was the evacuation from Dunkirk. Very good, it was. You should work for us. I think Churchill referred to Operation Dynamo as the most successful failure ever or something like that. I mean, it was an incredible effort and operation to pull off, but...

00:35:09 Es ist natürlich nicht ideal, dass es in der ersten Zeit war. Es ist so eine strange Sache. Es ist ja, es war ein absoluter Triumph, und ein Remarkable Accomplishment, zu preventen eine Defeat von einem absoluten Cataclysm zu werden. Aber, you know, take what you can get. So Dynamo war basically die Evacuation der British Expeditionary Force auf landen, aus Norden France, nach England.

00:35:36 And the cool thing about it is that it wasn't just the Royal Navy. In fact, it was a huge number of civilian and commercial vessels that were pressed into service. And they just took the trip across the Channel, picked up soldiers, came back. Really, really cool. If you folks have ever seen the movie Dunkirk, it's a remarkable movie. Feels very, very real.

00:36:03 It's a wonderful account of the whole thing. It is. I actually think that Dunkirk is, that is the most accurate representation of World War II aerial dogfighting I've ever seen. That was actually, I think, probably my favorite scene in the movie. Yeah, because they didn't make it sexy. Like, Tom Hardy's in the cockpit and he's speaking through, he's like, alright, let me make this now. And, you know, alright, moving after the thing.

00:36:31 Und dann ist es nicht fast. Du siehst ihn wirklich, in einem kleinen Motion, er muss seine Sightse all around. So er ist sehr careful, lining up. Und dann ist er ein Quick Burst und das ist... Ja, no big, Flashy Explosions und Fast Camera Cuts. No, es ist... Oh, right, das ist was Aerial Warfare war. Nobody ist doing Cobra Maneuvers. So, anyway, es ist viel Spaß.

00:36:56 Und unser Event Pass this time ist, was ich gerade machen? Was ich gerade machen? Der Event Pass ist auf der Operation Dynamo. Es wird das Thema sein. So, der erste Progression line ist, das ist total free, auf jeden Fall von euch, nur von euch zu spielen. Es gibt viele coolen Dinge hier, aber auf particular Seite, es gibt 1200 Stele, ihr euch. 1200 Stele ist einfach nur für die erste Progression line. Es ist ein permanent Dunkirk-themed Camo, das kann man verwendet. Es ist permanent expendable, ich glaube, das wir callen es, richtig? Ja.

00:37:26 Yeah, British Coastal permanent camouflage. That's available, but also there's one of the enemy destruction effects, the monochrome, which turns the explosion black and white. Pretty sweet. And then, at the very end, there's also the industrial permanent camouflage for Duncan. Duncan, right? Yeah, Duncan. So this was the British Battlecruiser Early Access camo at the very end there, which is pretty sweet. In the second progression line, which is going to be 2,500 doubloons,

00:37:55 You get, first and foremost, immediately you'll get the Industrial Camo for Hawk, British Tier VI Battlecruiser Hawk. And then at the very end of it, you'll get the one for St. Vincent, the Industrial Camo, along with more steel along the way, and Tier VI Premium Cruiser London, which is pretty sweet. Tier VI Cruiser with a heel and a smoke, right? Yeah. Pretty strong. Remember London was, in the last Tier VI Clan Battle season, London was a nightmare. That was a while ago.

00:38:24 That was a while ago, man. So, the compensation is listed here as well, since there are some things you can get that you may already have. But, yeah, there you have it. How do I go back? Well, no, because I have it... Okay, all news. I have it full screen, so I don't have the back button. Let's see here. Perilous Root. This is a big one to you guys. So, for those of you who may remember Convoy Battles, it's a separate game mode. Am I talking too much?

00:38:52 Do you want to talk? I can talk a little bit, but I mean, you were playing some Parallels Route earlier. This is basically the update adaptation of the previous Convoy Mode. It's been brought up to speed. It's a new Event Mode. You can actually do Docker admissions in it as well, I think. How about that? It's a pretty solid way to get some of those done, where you will essentially guide a flagship through these maps, Hotspot, Trap, maybe some others, and try to bring it all the way to the end while fighting off hordes of, I think, lower tier bots, usually.

00:39:21 Ja, es fühlt sich einfach an Asymmetrik in dieser Weise. Es fühlt sich eine strange mixture von Convoy-Mode und Asymmetrik-Mode. Du wirst inundated by viel und viel Lower-Tier-Bots. Du und dein Team will basically escort ein Damage-Ship nach einem Convening-Ship. Und da werden verschiedene Objektivitäten verändern, based auf RNG. So, du könntest nicht das gleiche Mal wieder spielen, ich glaube. Ja, es gibt eine sehr gute Variabilität. Ja!

00:39:49 Which is a lot of fun. I was playing it earlier. I enjoyed it quite a bit. So if you're a big fan of PvE and special modes, try that one. And then let's see here. The full update. I think the main thing besides that is going to be there's updated operations with flagships, which is pretty cool. People really seem to like operations with flagships. Yeah, I mean, they're essentially the high tier operations that were updated a while back. Yeah. But kind of...

00:40:18 Es hat es ebenso schwieriger, mit den Flagships und den verschiedenen Effekten sie bringen. Es ist eine neue Sache zu strategieren und vorbereiten für. Und ich denke, in diesem Update, sie werden viele verschiedene Effekten. Including Classified Documents. Ja. So, ihr könnt auch die neue Effekten für die Flagships, sowie die Classified Documents zu helfen. Ja.

Dunkirk 1940 Event, Sowjetische U-Boote und Blücher Dockyard

00:40:41

00:40:41 If you guys are interested in seeing what Classified Documents are all about, you can go give them a try right now in Operations with Flagships. They're kind of fun. It's fun to be able to pick and choose what you want to target. We already went over Operation Dynamo Event Pass. Okay, next up is really cool, and I haven't tried it at all myself yet, but I knew it was coming before I left. This is the Dunkirk 1940 Event, which is basically like a minigame in the port.

00:41:08 where you essentially set up cards, right? Yeah, so essentially it's like a... Like you said, it's an event in the port where you'll go into the separate tab and you basically get to choose and build and play like a... I guess it is like a card game, right? So there's a little short overview over how to play this in the article here that we can go through, but as far as I remember, the event starts next week.

00:41:37 Okay, so it's not started yet? Yeah, unfortunately I don't think we'll be able to play it on stream tonight, but I did play some of it during PTS. It's actually relatively straightforward, I think, like in terms of setting your cards up, it will basically give you the odds straight up that your card beats them, and you can read all the different effects that they do and such. That's fun. But just to go over it, during each mission, you face four opponents, and the basic gameplay is just placing your cards in the most effective manner to defeat the enemies as efficiently, and as many of them as possible.

00:42:05 Cool. So each card you place battles the opposing card directly facing it. Each card has a certain power level with a bunch of parameters and will also have directional abilities. Yeah, look at that. So those abilities, you can kind of see they have little pointers, so they'll either affect the card across from them, next to them, diagonally, etc. So is it kind of like an auto-battler almost? Yeah, so you're basically placing the cards, they'll apply effects to your own cards and the enemy cards. Right. And then the outcome of the battle will be determined based on that. That's fun. Yep.

00:42:33 So there's two missions, Key Missions and Supply Missions, as well as a bunch of difficulties for them. Cool. Key Missions get you evacuation points, which will allow you to progress through the activity and get things like new cards. Yeah. Whereas Supply Missions get you some modifiers that you can use to buff up or repair your cards, for example, as well as special tokens that you can get new cards with and extra modifiers. Completion of the activity will be rewarded with Galant. That's fun. The Tier VI British Destroyer Galant. Yep.

00:43:02 Never hurts to have a free premium. Always good for grinding credits and training captains and such. Thank you for going over that. I came back two days ago. Bogsy has a lot to catch up. He's getting back into it. The Soviet submarine tech tree line has entered the tech tree now for research. So if that was something interesting to you guys, it's now available for everyone to participate with for free. I cannot remember exactly what these were like to be honest because...

00:43:30 Ich denke, ich bin für Paternity-Leaf, als sie kommen in sind. Sie sind meistens die Service-Focused und benutzen Unguided Torpedos. Das ist richtig. Sie haben eine sehr kurze Homing-Torps, aber die Unguided-Torps sind sehr lange und sehr high-damage. Sie haben nicht die beste Dive-Capacität oder Recharge-Times, also nicht mehr Zeit zu haben. Das reminds mich an die Japanese Surface-Submarine. Ja. Was ist das? Ist das I-43?

00:43:57 Chat? Oh, I should really know this. Chat definitely knows. We're bad. We don't remember what the... I-56. Thank you, Garfield. I-56, which is basically like a torpedo destroyer on the surface. These are definitely leaning towards that playstyle. But they also have buffed up submarine surveillance, so even though they're not meant to spend that much time underwater, they're pretty good support ships for spotting other submarines and helping your team to upcharge them. Right.

00:44:24 So those are available for research now. Bloecher Dockyard continues. I was really excited. I'm pretty sure the Dockyard came out while I was gone, but Bloecher is amazing in terms of, like, I'm a big fan of the Hipper, I'm a big fan of the Prince Eugen, and this is essentially, I would say, a Tier IX Prince Eugen. If I'm not mistaken, it gets the advanced penetration angles on her AP shells. Yeah, it has buffed up AP that I have.

00:44:49 Better ballistics, better penetration, and like you said, they have better ricochet angles. So very good at punishing broadsides. You can do a lot of damage to broadside battleships. You can sit at all cruisers. And I believe it also has an engine boost. Yes, it does have an engine boost. So this is still available for you folks. Gambia, 2.7 Commonwealth Cruiser Gambia is also an intermediate awarded Phase 8, which you can get for free just by playing through the missions. Why not play and get yourself a free premium?

00:45:18 So anyway, I don't like premiums, Bogsy. I don't like having free stuff in my port. I was really bummed out. I was hoping, when I saw that Blücher was on the roadmap, in my mind I went, God, wouldn't that be fun to do the update, like the intro to the update video, from the island, or from the fort where the Blücher was sunk. So those of you that don't know, the Blücher was a real ship.

00:45:45 During the German invasion of Norway in 1940, the Blücher was assigned to basically travel up the Oslofjord towards the Norwegian capital of Oslo. And along the way, there was this Norwegian fort, this old fort that had a cannon, as well as a really old shore-based torpedo launcher, which is a real thing.

00:46:10 And I remember reading about... Blucher was the only ship to have been sunk by shore-launched torpedoes, correct? As far as I'm... That sounds correct to me. I don't know for sure, but that does sound correct. So, basically, the volunteer leader, I think he was a volunteer, like he was former army or something like that, and then he retired, so he's basically there, manning the station as a volunteer, sees this ship coming up the fjord in the middle of the night, and he's like...

00:46:39 I don't know what that is. That's not supposed to be here. But it's probably not supposed to be here. And he sort of goes back and forth and he's like, alright, I'm going to shoot this thing. I'm going to shoot this thing and if I'm wrong, perhaps history will forgive me. He turned out to be very right. And they ended up sinking the Blucher in the fjord there. Really interesting story. I was sort of hoping that we could maybe go record the intro.

00:47:07 ...to the update where the Dockyard started from the Torpedo Launcher, which, if I'm not wrong, is still there. It's a keepsake. Keepsake.

00:47:19 A historical artifact? There you go. It's a monument, I think is what I was thinking of. But towards the, when the baby was fast approaching, that was not going to happen. I was not going to Europe. We're not going to sunbogs you, Wayne. No, no, indeed. Azner Lane, there's going to be a great big article elsewhere. I think maybe it's already out, I'm not sure.

Azur Lane und Code für Coal Container

00:47:42

00:47:42 Lots of cool things. AL Hindenburg, AL Kearsarge, AL Bismarck, Gorizia. And then some new captains and some new skins for other ships. So lots and lots of cool stuff. Go check that out if you are a fan of Weebery. Yeah, and if you're not a fan, by the way, you can turn the content off. There's a handy little cog in your port that you can click on. And you can go to Custom Ships. Yeah, how about that?

00:48:09 Oh, ja. Oh, ja.

00:48:38 Und dann geht es um, was diese sind. Für jeden stream in diesem Patch gibt es ein Code, ich denke, es ist eine mehr Coal-Container. Und wir geben die erste Part der Code und die erste Half der Stream und dann closer zu dem Ende, wir geben die zweite Half. So, wir geben die erste Half. Ja, wir geben die erste Half der Code. Let me explain, wie das funktioniert.

00:48:58 Is both pieces, both words smushed together. You have to put them together. You have to put them together. We're going to give you the first part now and it's not going to work. Don't go to your activate, redeem wargaming code thing and put this in because it won't work. Did everybody catch that? Kids in the back of the classroom, it won't work. You have to wait until the end of the stream and then you put both words together. There's your code. The good news is the words are pretty basic. So it shouldn't be hard to spell or put together anything. Why don't I go ahead and give you guys the first word right now.

00:49:26 I typed this in and it didn't work. Alright, the first part of the code is HATCH. H-A-T-C-H. A HATCH. Little nautical themes. So if you combine that with the second part, which we'll give away in a little bit, you'll be able to redeem that for one more coal container. Just a little bit of appreciation for people showing up to watch the stream.

00:49:51 True that. Someone says, why don't you just give us the whole thing? Ha! Because what we're doing is saying thank you to those who show up and watch the whole stream.

00:50:03 You. I'm talking to you. Thank you. You, dearie. I see you. You know who I'm talking to. Thank you. See, Geisha, if you do that, everyone puts themselves psychologically into the position. Oh, that's me. Into the position. That's right. There's a word for it, and I forget what... There's a term for that tactic, but I forget what it's called. Hmm. All right. You see me? Yes, we see you. All right, so...

00:50:27 Part of me wants to play a super shit. Can I play the main?

00:50:36 You can play the main if you so desire. I'd like to be a main main. He can do whatever he wants. I'd like to be a main main. Oh, I'm awesome. I have this set up for the full, you know, I think it's Furious build or Ferocious build. Oh yeah, you want to be on fire as much as possible. Yeah, I want to be on fire. I mean, if there's a ship to do it with, it's main, because I think the combat instructions for drastically reduce fire damage. Right.

00:51:02 I remember when people really were hating on Super Ships a lot. They're fun, man. Super Ships are really fun to play. They each have a really distinct, unique playstyle. I'm actually going to play a Super Ship that I haven't played yet, which is the Z57. Is it out? It might not be. Perhaps we should make sure. One second. Let me check the NDA sheet real quick. Hold on.

00:51:31 It is definitely not. Dang it. It is definitely not out yet. I'll go with Old Faithful and play Annapolis. Remember that time that Geishu almost died?

00:51:43 I am excited for Z57, though, because I think it has an extra long-range Hydro. Oh, is it that one? Yeah. Oh, that's interesting. It has a 7km Hydro right now. That's pretty sweet. Super ships are fun, but they cost a lot of credits to run them. Yes, that is the whole point.

00:52:04 Sorry, I'm ready Bogsy. Because it basically takes no experience to research them. It just takes a bunch of credits to buy them and then a bunch of credits to run them. So think of it as an endgame loop for your credits. If you are someone like me, you've been playing for years, you have a lot of credits. Because I don't really buy ships anymore. I don't buy ships with credits anymore because I don't have to.

00:52:28 I make more credits than I could possibly spend, so it's a good sync for your credits. I played so many clan battles that I have an absolute mountain of free XP and credits.

00:52:39 Clan Battles are great for earning resources, by the way, guys, if you didn't know. Yes, I should have also said that, that I played a few years of Clan Battles, and if you do that with boosters, man, you'll just rack up. Yeah, I mean, even if you're not running, like, an exceptional win rate, like, even a, like, between 50 to 60% win rate with boosters will get you a lot of stuff. It's true. Great, here we go.

00:53:04 Team America in the division here. America, America.

Operation Dynamo, Super Ships und Premiums

00:53:14

00:53:14 Is there a reason that Operation Dynamo Operation has never returned? Just because it hasn't been updated and at this point lost content? I think at the moment it probably would need some substantial updates to come back. I just don't think we planned for it yet. Might come back in the future along with some other operations that we've had our eye on. And we are looking at PvE content in general, like you've seen with Asymmetric, Perilous Route, Operations with Flagships, so definitely something we're thinking about.

00:53:43 ja pve content in general has certainly got some love in the last i'd say two years is my is my memory wrong or did the super ships used to require a ton of free xp and then only cost one credit i believe you have that wrong we used to have um

00:54:03 We used to have ships that were available for research with free XP. There were premiums you could buy with free XP. The original way to get Missouri, for example, was 750,000 free XP and one credit. Yeah. Because I think the technical capability to just give the ship for free after free XPing it was not... So you had to buy one credit, yeah. That's, for example, how I got my Nelson. The Nelson was the first premium I got that wasn't... I think my first premium was the Texas. It was a Twitch drop.

00:54:32 Oh, nice. But the first one that I acquired on my own was Nelson. I was a free-to-play account without premium time, and I saved up 375,000 free XP, I think. I was so proud of myself when I did that. It was a grinder. I think you can get that in like...

00:54:52 I think you can get that now in Clan Battles in 5 victories with max free XP booster. Maybe not 5, but if you're running red boosters and you're winning games, it's like 30k, 32k free XP per win. Pretty gnarly. That's pretty gnarly.

00:55:15 Ja, mein erstes Premium war die Yubari, weil ich mein Weg in die Klose Beta test war, wie ein Filthy Whale. Wow. Und Yubari kam mit es? Ja, so für Klose Beta, in 2015, könnte man ihn beinvited zu testen. Und ich denke, in die späteren Stages der Klose Beta gab, da waren Packs für Yubari, Gramyashi, und Simms? Ich würde sagen, war die dritte. Vielleicht jemand in die Chat remembers besser als ich. Das ist interessant, ich weiß nicht. Weil ich ein Weeb, ich wähle die Yubari, natürlich.

00:55:43 Ja, es war The Sims, okay, danke. Aber ich war eigentlich ein sehr guter Spieler in Closed Beta. Ich denke, ich war eine 40% winrate von Japanese Destroyers. Ich war die 10-Line Shimakaze, mit no SE.

00:56:04 Und ja, Grimiaschi turned out to be a monster ship, especially while Open Water Stealthfire was still a thing. So I actually regretted not picking up Grimiaschi when I had the chance for quite a while.

00:56:17 Anybody remember Open Water Stealthfire, by the way? Anybody who was around for that? I think that was after my time. Viasma... Is the Viasma... Um... FK? He's chilling back there. Now, uh... My most played ship... Do you know what it is, Boxxy? Your most played ship? My most played ship. Shima. Nope.

00:56:41 Es ist nicht clever? Nein, es ist nicht clever. Schima ist die meisten gespielt, btw. Es ist. Viele Leute freuen sich Schima.

00:56:49 I give up. You give up? Just like that? Alright, give me a hand. It's a Japanese destroyer. It's not Shima. It's not Shima. Oh, it's Akizuki. It is! Yeah, I should have known that. It's Akizuki because I'm a wonderful player and I love fair use of game mechanics, which is why Akizuki could stealth fire in open water with an 8.9 kilometer concealment. So you could be shooting somebody basically in front of them and they couldn't see you. It was very fun. You can't do that anymore. No, you cannot.

00:57:17 So, I don't play much Akizuki anymore, but it's also one of my favorite ships historically speaking, so... Was a wonderful combo of fun game mechanics and history there for me. Could it still fire in real life? No, unfortunately not. Don't think that was a... Well, I guess a... Oh my god, I have three fires on me? Oh my goodness. Oh damn. I'm suffering, Gogzee. Oh, ouch. I made a special request to the devs to stream. You can't let Gaishu look better than me. I'm getting roasted by this devastation.

00:57:46 I almost pulled a legionnaire. Would you say you're feeling devastated? Yep. I've been devastated by this. Oh no! Poor Viasma! Ooh, 14k damage. Do you have super heavy AP? Um, probably. That's the one that makes your AP shells do more damage but makes you burn longer, yeah? Yep. Then yes, because... And it also reduces the fire damage that you take per tick. Right, because I definitely set this up to just go full ham on like...

00:58:16 Maximum damage, screw the fires. Maximum smash, basically. The cool thing about main also is that you just have so many shells. 16 guns is a lot of guns. Even if your angle of hitting the shells, even if the angle's not the best, just putting that many AP shells into the superstructure is just going to do a crap ton of damage. I'm always a fan of that. Wisconsin's the same way.

00:58:44 Die Schellen und Groupings sind so tight, man kann einfach nur die Super-Struktionen werden. Ja. Koby? Okay, Koby. Oh, ist er schon jemanden? Er ist schon jemanden.

00:59:17 Everybody's running away. I know right? We might zero these guys out. Yeah, we are up five ships right now. Yikes.

00:59:36 Ja, Entire Flank is showing broadside to remain. Bogsy pays actors, it's well known. That's true. Please stop saying Y and A as separate sounds in Russian ship names. It's one sound like YAT. You don't say YAT, do you? Uh, I mean, I do. You'll have to forgive my pronunciation. YAT? I am a silly American. So, I think they're referring to Viasma, which I was saying. Which he's probably saying, you should say Viasma. Instead of saying Viasma, Viasma? Viasma, perhaps.

01:00:05 Oh, no, I don't even speak English, I speak American. It's true. Sorry, Corred. If I'm not pronouncing Russian correctly, it's because, well... I speak English. Komratski. Novosibirsk goes down, about to take the Iowa, which is pretty dope. Yeah, this match is gonna be over in just a second.

01:00:32 Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Riggity Rigg

01:01:01 Yes, Comrade in Bogsy, that was me. I supplied part of the voiceover for Commander Comrade, I think. That was basically like a dual voiceover, right? You did that with Evan? With Evan, I believe. What is this, Stratri? Monty. Typical Yankee thinks American is a language.

01:01:32 Hey man, all I'm saying is we want a war for a reason. Prove me wrong? Prove to me that it's not a language. Good luck, I'll wait. See, like, casual 20,000 just because.

01:01:50 Casual 20,000 is casual. I am suffering for damage this match. Oh no! We zeroed them. This is how you know you've been playing this game too long is you have an incredible victory and you're like, no! I didn't get enough damage. My PR is suffering.

01:02:08 Womp womp. The voiceovers recently aren't that exciting. Get some native speakers next time if it's in English. Hi, I did one and I am a native English speaker. Just throwing it out there. It may surprise me, but I am a native English speaker. What was that? Are you a native English speaker, though? Do you speak American? I speak American.

01:02:31 Das stimmt. Was ist die Nummer 1 Best Thing in der 14.4 Patch? Vielleicht sollte man einen Perilös Routen zeigen. Ich denke Perilös Routen ist ziemlich süß. Als die Operation, oder Dunkirk 1914 event ist, wird das auch cool sein. Das wäre auch cool. Unfortunately, ich kann nicht wirklich sehen, weil es nicht mehr gibt. Sorry. Ja, das wird wirklich cool sein. Wenn du ein Enjoyer von Azur Lane ist, ist das in der Armour jetzt.

01:02:59 I should probably play Egg Gear, what do you think? Go for it. I actually don't know what tier 9 ship I'm going to play. I don't play a lot of this tier. Yeah, I need a 9. Maybe I'll play a Jean Bart. Jean Bart? I haven't played this ship in a while. I have no idea.

01:03:25 I haven't played Jumbart since long ago when I realized I started caring about... Your PR? My PR. And realized that Jumbart is a PR sync. Oh, you filthy stat powder, you. I am.

01:03:37 Have you achieved your Unicum PR yet? No, because Wayaki of WoWStats keeps doing something. He pushed an update that lowered everybody's PR by like 50. Yeah, so twice. Twice in like three months. My PR was like 2085, 2090. I just needed to get it to 2100 so I can be purple. I can be Unicum finally. After years of streaming and playing new ships that have over-weighted PRs.

01:04:03 Und dann, boom, 20 points down. Und dann, boom, 20 points down. Ich denke, ich bin 20, 68 wieder. One day Boggy will attain his dream. Kaishu keeps sending the email to stop Boggy's PR. Don't tell him. Damn it, Kaishu. Wait, I'm keeping track every time he gets a little bit too close. I think it's the Van Spijk, I think is what I want. Yeah, it's the Dutch one with the...

01:04:33 Es hat die...

01:04:36 Ja. Ja. Ja.

Community Commanders, Partner und Schnellboot-Racing

01:05:04

01:05:04 The CC's and from some that are gone, some that are still around. So Ashley the Violet Commander says Incredible This by Chaos Machine. She says Big Fan. I think Maltese Knight added that one. Yeah, there's a whole bunch. Gamer Terms. What are the kids saying these days? I know, right? Triangle Spotted. I like that one. I also liked Underwater Triangle.

01:05:31 She said something like, underwater triangle destroyed, something like that, meaning submarine. I thought that was clever.

01:05:38 Would you throw it back to our gameplay, sir? Oh, I guess. Thank you. Today we all make partner. Yeah, that's right. There's like, there's some fun ones. That was a lot of fun. How many tries did it take you to get partner, Baldi? Uh, one. One? Your first try? Uh, yep. What? That's ridiculous. It's one day I just told him, he was like, hey, you're not eligible for partner. Would you like to be a partner? And I was like, would you like to submit? I said, sure.

01:06:05 Und dann in drei Tagen ist es so, congratulations, du bist ein Partner! Und dann ist es so, ich habe es versucht, drei Mal. Ich glaube, ich habe es auf meinem eigenen Kanal in zwei Jahren. Und ich bin noch ein Partner. Wie ist das?

01:06:18 Why not just put Chaos Machine in as himself? That's a good question. Why don't we have more CCs in the game as commanders? Well, who here remembers the Ring Event? Does anybody remember the Ring Event? That was a while ago. I know. The Ring Event resulted in two commanders being put in the game. One was Calm Richard, and the other was the Mighty Jingles. Essentially, the Ring Event was...

01:06:45 Es ist besser oder besser, ein Populärer Contest zu entscheiden, welche CCs werden sollen. Jetzt, wie ihr könnt, es ist nicht schwer für Leute zu sehen, wie die größten CCs sind, die größten Streamers und YouTubers sind. Und dann können Sie sagen, das Person wird wahrscheinlich gewinnen. Denn es ist wirklich einfach, wer der größte Populär ist wahrscheinlich gewinnen.

01:07:14 Das macht nicht immer die Leute zu fühlen, die größte. Weil sie sehen die Schrift auf der Wallen und denken, warum bother? Das ist ein Schade, weil die Partizipation ist der Punkt.

01:07:26 I'm going to lead an airstrike on the fort. This is actually kind of cool. Will it do any damage? I don't know. Let's see. Oh, there are a lot of bots. PT Boats. It did a thousand damage. Not bad. I am Jack's unabridged disappointment.

01:07:50 Oh, das ist richtig, da sind wir Motorboats. Das ist fun. Ja, wir müssen die kleinen Pt-boats. Die wirklich... ...buck a lot in der See, nicht sie? Ja, sie sind so. Da sind sie. Hello, nice to see you, E-U-C-C. Always a pleasure. Ja, sie sind Schnellboats. Schnell, Schnell!

01:08:20 Es ist Dippin' und Wevin'. Oh, ich habe es. Ja, wir brauchen die kleinen Schnellboots. Sie sind sehr, sehr, sehr schlecht. Somebody needs to shoot sie. Still waiting for when I can play one. Ich weiß, Schnellboot-Racing? Ich weiß, man.

01:08:43 One day, one day. I feel like, I feel like that would be a great April Fool's mode or something, like, just call it Tiny Ships, like, just have, like, half a dozen different versions of the Schnell boots, one with, like, Mad Max Schnell boot racing. Yeah, I think that'd be fun. Whose palm do I have to grease to get that done?

01:09:07 Ich würde sagen zu einem der Devs sagen, ich werde dir ein Shoutout in der Update Video. Ich bin nicht sicher, ob sie wollen das. Sie wollen das, richtig? Nein, Gott, nein, bitte, nein. Ich weiß nicht, dass alle Leute auf die Kamera wollen, wie du. Ich weiß nicht, dass alle Leute sagen, dass ich mich verletzte, meine Existenz.

01:09:26 Bring the ducks back? That was a fantastic April Fool's mode, the bathtub event. Can I tell you guys a funny story about Conception and duck mode? Conception, who was a community manager here for a while, Conception one day basically unprompted, completely parallel thinking, suggested basically like a rubber ducky in a bathtub mode. And we were like, well...

01:09:55 Luck would have it. Proposal 4 was like, this would be so cool, it would be so silly. Yeah, you're right, it would be. And it was when we did it. And he goes, uh oh, alright. And it was pretty funny just because parallel thinking is unusual and he came up with duck mode after we had done it already.

01:10:18 Oh, oh, I just got it. I thought you were implying that I was really old, but this is a baby and conception joke. Not the conception with the cake. I used to say conception all the time because he was, that was the gamer name of our coworker. And I completely forgot that like conception is also a term for making your baby.

01:10:47 Alright, glad we sorted that out. Let Daddy Bogsy tell you something about the birds and the bees. This whole time I was thinking it was storks. Birds have the flu and bees have stingers. End of story. The birds give you the flu and bees can hurt you. You just don't want to go near the bees.

01:11:11 I've actually never been stung by a bee. What? Fun fact. Chat, we need to make this happen. Oh no, do not make that happen. No, thank you. I'm kidding. Or am I?

01:11:25 I also actually broke my first bone just a couple weeks ago. What? Yeah, I used to be able to say I've never broken a bone in my body. What are you doing here? But it happened. I broke my left big toe. Oh shit, dude. What are you doing here? A tiny little fracture. I mean, it was a very tiny fracture and it has healed pretty quickly, I think. Okay. How'd you do that? I tripped and smashed my toe against the floor and it hurt for a couple of days. So I was like, huh, this is a little bit unusual for a stub toe. So I went to my doctor and he was like, yeah, you got a little fracture.

01:11:54 Existing is hard, huh? What do you know? The stupidest thing, really. I mean, you could have been like, well, I went to Japan and, uh... I don't know, I was fleeing from Godzilla and then, uh, whatever. Had a few too many drinks, didn't really remember much. Woke up my toes, but a little too much sake and, uh... What was the coolest thing about Japan? The food and the drink. Okay.

Begegnungen mit der Community und Anekdoten

01:12:23

01:12:23 The food is so delicious there. For those of you who think, ah, I'm never going to see my World of Warships friends in real life, Geishu is living proof that that is not always the case. Yeah, I got to go to Japan with a bunch of the clowns from my clan that I've played with for, god, almost like seven years now. Hell yeah, Team Geishu.

01:12:48 Ich denke, das ist cool. Die Leute von TNG in der Zeit, ich denke, wenn ich mit ihnen ging, dann wäre es eine logische Chance, dass ich nicht mehr kommen kann. Ja, ich meine, es ist... Obviamente ich habe vieles von meinem Leben gespielt, und ich fühle mich, dass ich meine Besten und Longest Freunde habe, durch die Video-Games gewonnen habe. Das ist awesome.

01:13:15 I seem to remember back in the day, there was like an article about two people who like met each other in World of Warships and then got married. Something like that.

01:13:25 Willkommen Christantos!

01:13:54 Ja, wir haben ihn mit uns hier in der Austin office für, at least eine Woche. Oh, er hat sogar... Er hat sogar den... Er hat den Crocodile Dundee? Ich dachte, er war es. Und dann hat er es auf mich. Oh, dear. Oh, man. Ich denke, er war derjenige der Account, was du denkst? Er war. Ich denke, es ist kein Problem.

01:14:20 Well, now I feel like I have to wear this for the rest of the stream. I mean, I really don't see how you have an option. We're doing it. Maybe I should be helping with, like, the eight ships over there? You mean the objective? There's a target over the Scrap Zeppelin. I think I'm supposed to kill it. Oh, yeah. See, I'm playing the objective. I'm literally blocking. I'm blocking two separate ships, like a hero.

01:14:45 Like a hero. Augsie is doing heroic things right now. Oh, I'm eating 10 torpedoes from a Benson is what I'm doing. Ow. Oh, I have a team heal consumable to use. I should probably do that. I mean, if you feel like being nice. I'm dying. Wait, are you actually? I'm the one dying.

01:15:11 You had a couple of friends who met playing the other, wow, I'm assuming that's World of Warcraft, who got married. Wow, that is an awesome story.

01:15:20 If I'm not mistaken, it was a Lady Kryptonite, right? Yes, I think she actually did meet her husband through World of Warships. And on top of that, I believe she was also the first guest on the podcast that was produced by myself and my clanmate Sinpax. Oh, I remember the podcast. That was 90th, right? That was their clan? Yep.

01:15:49 Wasn't I on that podcast? You were! It was very exciting for us because at that time you were a mythical figure of the Wargaming community.

01:15:58 Ich habe später herausgefunden, dass du aber ein mehr Weeb war. Ich war nur ein 20-jähriger Kind. Ich glaube, du war 17. Ich meine, das war das erste Clever-Season. Das war ja schon sechs Jahre alt. Ja, ich war 19. Ich glaube, es war Februar 2020. Right? Damn. I shoot Equals Forever 12. Ich habe noch nicht gewusst. Ich bin noch ein Kind.

01:16:26 Like not too long from now we're gonna look back on like the clever season be like can you believe that was ten years ago? We're getting pretty close. It's already been over five years ah Into the destination zone ahead of the command ship are we idiots? Oh, we're all idiots, huh? Something like the one thing we didn't do was somebody didn't go into the like

01:16:50 Destination Zone before the command. Okay, I'm gonna be honest, I didn't even read the objectives. I've just been sailing around shooting stuff. I didn't either. I'm the average battleship player. You think this type of battle should be available permanently for low tiers like tier 4 to 6? Think it's a great training mode for beginners. I could definitely be true. I mean, something like a more detailed operation to go over like game fundamentals would definitely be interesting. It would.

01:17:16 Oh, Crisanto is telling me that I'm rocking the hat? Thank you. I appreciate the gift. You are rocking the hat. It's tricky.

Cowboy-Kultur, Killer B und persönliche Anekdoten

01:17:26

01:17:26 We just need to get you some cowboy boots and a six-shooter now. Actually, I probably should own a pair of cowboy boots. I've been here for almost three years now and I still don't have one. I don't have cowboy boots myself either. Really? That is something that I would have expected you to own at least. Really? Why? Oh, look at you. Do I strike you with a cowboy? Bogsy is totally the kind of person who would have cowboy boots. Am I wrong?

01:17:55 Maybe I'm wrong. Okay, Chrysantos is backing me up here. Okay, I think that I would be the guy to have ironic cowboy boots. Guys, I was raised in Oregon, which is a hippie town. Kind of the opposite of cowboy boot culture? It is, yeah. It is a hippie town, which is the opposite, but I really like Texas culture, so my one concern is that I would be a poser, which I don't want to be. I don't think you've been here for long enough now.

01:18:24 Und Leather Chaps? Maybe if he gets a horse. I feel like, I don't know why, but whenever I heard and Leather Chaps, I heard Killer Ben being like, Leather Chaps, yes, you know, Chaps who prefer wearing leather. I still haven't heard Killer Ben do an impression of me. I do impressions of Killer Ben all the time.

01:18:51 I would love to hear a Killer Bin Bogsy impression. I know, wouldn't you? I don't even know what he would do. I would assume that he'd be like, hold on, I just need to go buy a loud shirt. That shall survive. I want to see Killer Bin wearing a Hawaiian shirt, actually. That's what I want to see. I feel like he'd come out and be like, oh, hi. Hey, brother. He'd just make some really gaudy...

01:19:19 Und die Leute sagen, ja, das funktioniert. Ich denke, wir können das passieren. Da muss man einen Weg geben.

01:19:30 Ich weiß nicht, aber es ist total gut, weil es ist jetzt. Aber es ist okay, weil es ist jetzt. Ja, Killerbin hat, low-key, kind of hurt my feelings, vier oder fünf Jahre. Ich weiß nicht, was es war, was die circumstances waren, aber basically Killerbin wrote in der CC-Discord,

01:19:53 Bogsy is the equivalent of a loud t-shirt. I think he said you are a walking loud shirt. A walking loud t-shirt, that's what it was. I think somebody was commenting on your Hawaiian shirts and Killer Bin was like, oh yeah, Bogsy, he's a walking loud shirt. And I was sort of like, aww. I don't know why, but for some reason that sounds like a bad thing. Maybe it's just the British accent makes it sound like a bad thing. I would love to be a walking Hawaiian shirt, that sounds awesome. Walking Hawaiian shirt. Holy crap, there are a lot of enemies. Yeah, this is like way more than I expected.

01:20:24 Ich denke, wir sind okay. Aber ich bin ein bisschen low auf HP. Das ist lustig, weil das Gefühl von Kilobren ist eine der letzten Dinge, die ich hätte erwartet. Ich weiß, dass er so ein... Ich weiß, dass er so ein nice Mann ist. Er ist wirklich lustig.

01:20:50 Oh, look at that. I can't think of a single, even slightly mean thing that Killer Bin has ever said. No, and he certainly didn't say that to be mean. It was just me, like, having my feelings oddly hurt by something that's, like, semi-true. So that's Perilous Root, you guys. Hope you enjoyed it. It's basically like an operation that you can force your way into without, you know, having to sit in the operations queue.

01:21:14 Es ist halt wie Convoy und es ist halt wie... Ich muss sagen, es ist halt wie Convoy und halt wie Operations mit Flagships ein bisschen. Es ist halt wie ein Mix zwischen drei Dingen, die Old Convoy Mode, Operations mit Flagships, und Asymmetric Paddles. Ja, Asymmetric Paddles. Du hast die Convoy Pathing, du hast die Flagship, aber ich glaube, ich glaube, ich glaube, es nicht wirklich applies to Buffs oder so. Vielleicht nicht wirklich. Und dann, die Hordes von Low-Tier Enemies. Hordes von Low-Tier Enemies ist das eine große Bedeutung. Oh, Suzuya! Ich glaube, ich glaube, ich habe Suzuya. Hast du nicht?

01:21:42 Das ist ein wirklich Spaß. Das ist die 155mm Megami, richtig? Es ist. Ich habe die Suzu-Yah-G. Ich habe die Suzu-Yah-G. Ich habe die Suzu-Yah-G. Ich habe die Suzu-Yah-G. Ich habe die Suzu-Yah-G. Ich habe die Suzu-Yah-G. Ich habe die Suzu-Yah-G. Ich habe die Suzu-Yah-G. Ich habe die Suzu-Yah-G. Ich habe die Suzu-Yah-G. Ich habe die Suzu-Yah-G. Ich habe die Suzu-Yah-G. Ich habe die Suzu-Yah-G. Ich habe die Suzu-Yah-G. Ich habe die Suzu-Yah-G. Ich habe die Suzu-Yah-G. Ich habe die Suzu-Yah-G.

01:22:09 Ich glaube, es ist ein guter Tag, wenn Advanced Firing Training verwendet wurde, so ich denke, in den Zeiten des Yore, die 155 Millimeter Erugami konnte über 19 Kilometern. Oh, wow. Ich kann das nicht mehr, aber Sezuya ist jetzt hier, also wenn du das alte Erfahrung hast, das ist ein guter Pick. Ja, ich glaube, wenn die Yodo Line kam, Leute waren... Ich denke, Leute waren expecting...

01:22:34 A line of 155mm Megami. Almost primarily gun-focused ships, right? Right. And it's like, because there's so many guns on it. And yeah, like, you can play Yodo as essentially a gunboat. Especially after the buffs. Especially after the buffs. But realistically, it's a hybrid. It's a long-range hybrid ship. I think, like, the very first iteration of those cruisers when they released was primarily torpedo cruisers, right? Yeah. And just really wasn't what a lot of people were expecting, but Yodo has actually gotten some pretty hefty buffs to her HE and her reload as well.

01:23:02 He's a pretty good HV thrower now. Speaking of the codes, we gave out the first part of the code a little while ago. If you missed that, it is Hatch. H-A-T-C-H. And you'll need the second part to smush that together, turn it into one thing, and redeem it. It's true. Don't go redeeming Hatch. Not yet. You can try, but it's not going to work. It's not going to work. Don't say we didn't warn you. And probably maybe after the next match that we play, we'll hand out the second part of the code. You can put those two things together.

01:23:31 Und du kriegst ein mehr coldes Container, als ein kleines Token für dich aufzuhören und aufzuhören. Das hat nicht funktioniert. Es ist gut, dass es nicht funktioniert, denn wenn es nicht funktioniert, dann etwas ist falsch. Wie ist die Schlepp-Schedule-Bogs... Actually, es ist besser als es war.

01:23:47 I keep telling this and it's probably not that interesting. Babies have to be woken up to be fed every two hours until they get back to their initial birth weight. Are we going back to random's body? Yes. Okay. For the first week, for the first month or so, babies actually lose a little bit of weight as they get their immune system set up. I'm going to get the regular system. Oh, cool.

01:24:07 And then the milk that they get is much higher in fat content after that. And they start getting weight again. So once they get back to their birth weight, they're allowed to go longer than two hours without feeding. So we've had about five weeks worth of more or less regular sleep. But we do have to wake up usually once or twice in the middle of the night to change a little poopy diaper. Baby tips with Boggy. Baby tips with Boggy. Do a little feed and maybe get put back to bed.

Lügen, Team-Damage und Spielmechaniken

01:24:36

01:24:36 What if you were lying to us? How would we know if we didn't test the code? Well, like I said, you're free to test it out. It's just not gonna work. Hello, elusive spider. Also, look at Boggy. He would never lie to you. Okay, fun. Can I tell a fun story? I hate stories. Just kidding, yes. There are two SC guys in the game with us on opposite sides.

01:25:02 SC, für diejenigen, die nicht erinnern, ist es eine der besten Klans in den Spiel. Es ist eine der besten Klans in den Spiel. Es ist eine der besten Klans in den Spiel. Es ist eine der besten Klans in den Spiel. Es ist eine der besten Klans in den Spiel. Es ist eine der besten Klans in den Spiel. Aber ich bin ein Dummy, so ich sagte es die wronge. Ich sagte es die insultinge. Wow. Sorry, SC. Aber irgendwie. Everett. Ich bin Everett.

01:25:30 Ja, Evert used to be a regular in my stream, actually, my personal stream. Yeah. Um... What were we... I might even turn on Battle Chat. I know, Dangerous. I know better than that. You know better than that? What the hell are we talking about? SC. Story. Story? I said, can I tell you a quick story? And then we talked about you throwing Shade at SC. What was the story? I don't know. Hatch? No, it wasn't Hatch.

01:25:59 Well, that is the first part of the code that we're giving out. I don't think it's the story. It is. The hell were we talking about? Oh, oh, it's coming back slowly. Oh, wait, wait, wait. I'm almost there. Oh, okay. It's about lying.

01:26:16 Oh, das ist richtig!

01:26:44 It's important to make sure that those two things stay kind of distinct because, yes, you are a player and that's very valuable because you have a lot of insight. You know, you want to make sure that you are representing the game. You are not first and foremost a player of the game. You are first and foremost a representative of the game, which makes perfect sense. I remembered they said, do you have any questions for us or anything else for us? And I said, yes, I just want to be clear.

01:27:13 Please don't ask me to lie. And I sort of got this puzzled look on the person who, then my boss, on his face and he said, why would we ask you to lie? And I said, I don't know. I just, I just, I won't. And he goes, how about this? I will never ask you to lie and you will never have to lie. And I was like, great, done.

01:27:38 Wonderful mutual understanding. And I never have in all of the player-facing interactions and engagement that I've done. Almost four years of working here, I've never once had to lie. Which sounds good. I'm laughing because somebody has pointed out that I just straight up lied in game chat.

01:28:01 Was did you lie about in chat? Oh, okay. Somebody also asked why I shot my ally, and I took a little pot shot at Everett there. Everett used to be a regular viewer of my personal stream before I joined 4Gaming. I have a long history with him. I like to see him in game. Remember when team damage was a thing? I do. I remember when I team killed Kelsier 3 in a clan battle. Kelsier 3, now that takes me back. Our DD player. I threw out some Zao Torps, and he turned back into them, and it was totally not my fault. Sure.

01:28:30 Way cooler than Kelsior 2. There was a King of the Sea where we all renamed, I think, or a bunch of us to various Kelsiers. Yes, I recall that one. It was very funny. Especially because I think Bogsy might have been casting at the time. I think I was. I think that was actually the first year that I was casting on my own. And I was thinking, what in the hell am I looking at? I wasn't really clued into the... He wasn't in on the joke. I wasn't in on, like, Gaishu's clan and Gaishu's clan culture and whatnot.

01:29:02 Ich habe mir gedacht, warum diese Clan nicht nur einen Namen gibt? Warum sind sie immer die Namen geändert? Das war die besten. Das war die besten.

01:29:11 But it is annoying. But if you continue it, like if you continue shooting at people repeatedly...

01:29:39 Leave more games than you go orange orange means you can only play co-op for it doesn't need a number of outs You are relegated to co-op Well, there's basically nothing left on our flank. Yeah turns out we're good Yes, I'm gonna throw over to your screen for moon, okay

01:30:02 Suiciding should also make you pink for no reason and border humping for longer than five minutes. I'm going to say two things about that. Number one, anybody who's border humping for more than five minutes is not contributing to the game. And is also probably dead because when you're on the border for, I think, like 30 seconds, your engine speed basically goes to zero. Yeah. So you become extraordinarily easy to hit. Yeah. Which is really obnoxious. However, extremely obnoxious. Are you a border slider boxing? I mean, sometimes.

01:30:32 I'm not above sliding on the border. Of course not. I'm just going to say it. It's a valid tactic. Where else are you supposed to go? Yeah, like sometimes you're... Am I just supposed to turn around and die? No, thank you. Hell no.

01:30:44 As for suiciding, there's a little problem, which is it's very difficult to program a sensor in the game. Sorry, I shouldn't even say that. It's very difficult to get the game to understand the difference between suiciding and just being bad. I think in general, oftentimes, I mean, it's just, it can be hard to distinguish between what is very intentionally bad player throwing versus somebody who's just not very good at the game. So, for example, this is where writing a ticket, a CS ticket.

01:31:10 mit der Replay ist unglaublich. Wenn du jemanden, besonders suikiding multiple times, in multiple games, das ist... Ja, Pattern oder Behaviour macht es viel einfacher, natürlich. Ja. Dann kann man einen CS-Ticket machen, und ein Human-Being will... ...tach ein Blick auf es und entscheiden, ob es tatsächlich suikiding ist, oder ob das Person ist wirklich wirklich schlecht. Um... ...sometimes Community Managers, wie ich und Geishu, werden sogar gefragt, hey...

01:31:39 Would you do us a favor? Is this sus? Is this sus to you? You guys are good at this game. Will you tell us, is this player actually suiciding? Or are they just maybe not super good? Imagine getting a ban because you made a bad choice. Yes, that would be very unfortunate, which is why we like to make sure. Intentionally bad versus just, well, I'm new or what have you. It is difficult sometimes to know the difference.

01:32:06 Having a human take a look is a great way of making sure. But again, a human is only going to take a look if you write a ticket.

01:32:16 You know what Bogsy, this is very embarrassing. I forgot that I had Main Battery Reload Booster. It's funny, I haven't actually used mine yet because, well. I actually struggle with this on ships even when I do remember that I have a Main Battery Reload Booster, is actually using them, right? Oh son of a bitch. Because if I end the match and I have charges left in my Main Battery Reload Booster, I feel like I did not do as much as I could, right? Yeah, I mean you kind of use all of them. But at the same time, you want to hold them for like setting permanent fires or catching like a destroyer at close range or something.

01:32:43 Right. But in reality, I really should just be better about just using them. I mean, yeah. I agree. Mecklenburg gonna meckle. Getting meckled by the Mecklenburg. Oh, just looking at it, I was like, I can shoot him, and I was like, nah, I'm gonna get meckled. I don't feel like getting meckled right now. Don't get meckled. Mecklenburg gonna meckle. I think the first I ever heard of that was from World of Tanks. It was the...

01:33:16 Das ist das 1,5 mm Hetzir. Hetzir ist gut. Hetzir ist gut. Hetzir ist gut. Hetzir ist gut. Hetzir ist gut. Hetzir ist gut. Das war Jüngle. Das ist wie ich in die Spiele spielen. Ich habe Tanks gemacht, und ich habe das Video gemacht. Hetzir ist gut. Hetzir ist gut. Ich liebe es, mit meinen ersten zwei Schellen zu machen.

Spielstrategien, Community-Interaktionen und Abschied von Asconz

01:33:46

01:33:46 Es macht mich ein bisschen salty, wenn ich an der anderen Seite bin. Eine der größten Dinge ist, dass ich ein Fire in ein AP-A-P-A-N-L-I-S-H-I-P. Ja, wie ein Mysore oder ein Plymouth oder so. Weil die Secondary einfach in der Light-A-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-

01:34:14 Ich habe meine Frau, die nicht ein Gamer, gesagt, Lul. Das ist schön. Ja. Das ist Europäische für Lul. Ist das nicht richtig? Lul. Das ist sehr speziell Deutschland. Lul.

01:34:33 Sailing Robin's videos got you into ships, and you've never forgiven him. Sailing Robin did make some fantastic videos. Sailing Robin is a delightful man, by the way. Those of you who aren't familiar with Sailing Robin. Yeah, we love having him on our tournament streams a lot of the time. Yeah. If you ever want to see him commentate some games, he's doing that for us. Robin's a lot of fun. I mean, like, as a person.

01:34:56 As an internet personality, he really just super. He's probably over there like, what? Thank you, Bogsy. I don't know what that means, but thank you. What else is there? He's not really that French. I made him sound like Spectre Clouseau French. He's not that French. He's a little French. Oh, I got mechled super hard.

01:35:28 Oh no, he's got more turrets. You got heckled by the Mecklenburg? Yeah. Okay. Why is the Mecklenburg so fast? I can't lead him. I think we're gonna just bite the bullet here and go full torpedo. Everyone full boxy. Eh. Damn.

01:35:57 So if you search up World of Warships Customer Support, that should bring you right to the Customer Support Portal. And there should just be a handy way to make tickets on that.

01:36:15 Ich denke, es gibt auch eine Help-Page dazu, um die Prozesse zu machen, um zu machen zu machen. Wenn nicht, fühle mich auf Discord zu messageen, und ich kann mich durch die Prozesse zu machen. Ja. Um, wenn es in der Game-In-General violiertes EULA geht, ist, um eine CS-Ticket mit dem Replay zu machen, und dann, um... ...send die Ticket-ID zu einem Community-Manager. Ja. Und, um, CS-Ticket wird durch die Prozesse und die Ticket-Ticket zu machen. Um, und manchmal, sie können sie für Hilfe, oder wir können einfach nur auf den Ticket-Ticket gehen.

01:36:45 They are not an invitation to spam our inboxes, but I'm pretty sure this person's a bot. CS is very good at their jobs. They are also super helpful for any regular game issues that you might have. Highly recommend if you have an issue, just reach out to them. They're wonderful people. The customer support team is absolutely real. They are real human beings. They live, breathe, and work in Belgrade. And we've met them.

01:37:13 Ja, ein paar Mal schon. Und wir haben sogar noch ein paar Leute zu den Community Contributors, wenn wir die CCs nach Belgrade hatten und hatten eine gute Zeit. Und als ein Spaß, hey, wir sollten alle wissen, dass wir ein CS-Team haben. Und wir haben ihn in den Fronten, drei von ihnen. Und sie wussten nicht, dass sie nicht, dass sie was. Und dann haben wir gesagt, Ladies und Gentlemen, bitte meet CS. Und die CCs waren alle like, ah. Das war schon lustig.

01:37:41 They are real people. Everyone always jokes that they're not real, but they are real people. Am I gonna steal the skull? Oh, the firetick got it. How do I get the drops? Well, you hold something out and then you let go. He'll be here all week, unfortunately.

01:38:00 Can I send him back on fraternity leave? Is Wargaming hiring devs to work on the game? We are always hiring. In fact, if you're ever curious as to what's going on hiring-wise with Wargaming, you can always look up careers.wargaming.net, I believe. Wargamingcareers.net? I think I can make the turn here. And you can see for yourself what we're hiring for. And if you do apply, make sure you use me as a referral. That way I get the referral bonus.

01:38:29 Danke, danke, danke. Speaking of the drops question, if you link your account and you launch the stream, a little progress bar should automatically fill up and then you can claim your drop when it's done.

01:38:44 My drop system can be pretty finicky though, it's just the reality of Twitch and the way it works. So you can try unmuting the stream, you can try closing other streams, you can try closing the page and launching it. But it can be pretty finicky sometimes. Did I shoot the reload booster? Yeah, I actually... My reload booster key is usually on F. So I pressed F and my heal was already running, so of course it did nothing. And I actually meant to press my reload booster key, but it did not work. Because it was the wrong key.

01:39:14 There it is, careers.wargaming.net. Sorry. Alright, well, I think we're getting close to the second half of the stream here, where we can give out the second half of the code. What do you think, Boggy? Yeah, let's do it. 20 minutes left, so we've got enough time for a game. Why don't we go ahead and give out the second half of the code to these nice people. Alright, so if you guys forgot, the first half of the code... Actually, do I give out the first half again? Or just chat Remember? That's a good question. I think you should just give out the full code. The full code? Yeah.

01:39:40 Why don't we see chat? Do you remember? Do you remember what the first part of the code was? No, no, no, no. Only the second half, because folks could just come at the end of the... Yes. Well, it seems that people do remember. People do remember. Alright, we're going to give away the second part of the code. The second part of the code is latch. L-A-T-C-H. Latch. That will all be one word, so you put the two words together and put them into the redemption portal.

01:40:10 Und das sollte mit einem mehr Coal-Container werden. Ich glaube, die Redemptions sind gegründet. Ja. Ich glaube, die Redemptions sind gegründet. Sie sind für etwa 1-3er unserer aktiven Viewers. Oder 1-3er unserer Viewers. So sehr schnell, du kannst das snag. Und wieder, das ist das erste Mal, dass wir zum nächsten Mal haben. So, wenn wir die Redemption-Limit für den nächsten Mal haben. Ist das die erste Mal? Ja. Oh, das ist die erste Mal. So, wenn wir das in der nächsten Mal haben, wir definitiv werden. Aber für heute, das ist das was wir. Wir peaked at 4k. Konkurrent.

01:40:38 Ja, super happy to see people turning out to watch Bogsy. They're definitely here for you, I think. You think that has something to do with it? I don't think they're here for myself. Nah. I'm going to give Everett a compliment. I'm going to report Bogsy. I like your hair, Everett. I can't report people who entered the battle in the same division as me? It's true. They put that in because of you, you realize. I'm kidding. Alright, we have time for one more match. We do, we do. Chat, is there a ship you'd like to see one of us play?

01:41:11 Code worked, but now says another coin, please. Yes, the code is for one more coal container. Code says you must construct additional pylons. Ooh, lots of nice suggestions here. Fen Yang for Bogsy, I think. No, why would you do that? Tone, Kamikaze, Colbert. Colbert's fun. Barbiano. I've actually been playing a little Barbiano. Barbiano? Which one's Barbiano?

01:41:39 Was ist Barbiano? Es ist ein Tier X Italian Destroyer für Steele, mit ein LOT OF LITTLE GUNS. Oh, das ist richtig, das kam auch während ich war. Ja. Es hat eine große Verleihung, es hat eine große Maneuverabilität, aber es hat eine Exhaustsmoke und eine Engine Boost und ein LOT von Stab DPM. Wie kann ich nicht sehen? Du hast es nicht. Was? Es ist ein Steele-Ship. Das heißt, du hast es selbst.

01:42:08 Silly Boggy. Chat. Chat. This is unacceptable. You have enough steel. I know you do. I suspect I do. I have 40,000 steel. I only have 40,000 steel? Right. Look at that. Only 40k? Hey, throw it to my screen so people can watch me buy the A to Barbiano.

01:42:34 Wow, ist das der einzige Schiff, die wir jetzt nicht haben? Ja. Oh, Coupon! See that, Chat? There'll never be a time when this is no longer... Wait. What? What? Check your port! You probably have it.

01:42:59 Oh, did Boggy just find a bug? No, my steel has been removed. I went from 40,000 to 17,500, which it should have, but it's still there. Check your port. And then it says, can't buy, not enough steel. Might not have just refreshed. No, it did work. It's there, but I just think it's funny. So you're going to play this? I might play the Barbiano. Okay. Unless you want it. Oh, I mean, you did just buy it. If you want to play it. Come on, Barbiano. Let's go party on it. See if there's another tier 10 that somebody wants me to play. No, no, no. Play that, and I'll...

01:43:27 Ich finde einen 2.10. Ist es ein Destroyer oder ein Cruiser? Garbiano? Ja. Es ist ein Destroyer. Okay, es sieht wie ein Cruiser. Ja, ich denke, historisch, es war eigentlich als ein Light Cruiser. Es sieht wie es hat eine Citadel zu mir, aber...

01:43:46 I haven't played Slava in a long time. Yeah, I think this is a planned, like, basically anti-aircraft conversion of a light cruiser. And for gameplay purposes, it's been classed as a destroyer. That is definitely what it looks like. Hmm. What do I want to play? I'm not entirely sure. Legionnaire is strongly considering trolling Boggy by removing his newly purchased steel ship.

01:44:15 Unfortunately, we would be able to see that in the logs. You're a bad man. Very bad. I'm gonna play Incomparable, because I'm a big fan. Incomparable. Incomparable! I'm still waiting for us to release a ship named Inconceivable. I know, right? Like, what a slam dunk. It's right there. What a slam dunk that would be. It's a Tier 4 cruiser uptiered to Tier 10. Yeah.

01:44:43 Fair enough. I think maybe we didn't think about it because we just had lunch with him. Yeah, I mean, we did just see him in a while ago. Obviously, both of us are sad to see him go. Yes, we are. In fact, it feels quite weird without him. I mean, I've been working here for almost three years now, which feels...

01:45:11 Es ist so strange, weil es nicht so lange ist. Und Oskontz hat den ganzen Tag, also wir sind sehr froh. Ich will dir meine Oskontz-Origin-Story, um zu sein, oder zumindest eine Spinoff-TV-Show. Ich habe Oskontz mit Oskontz, weil er und ich mit Oskontz und TNG zusammengebracht hat.

01:45:36 at least TNG Clan Battles in early 2020. And then played Clan Battles throughout the pandemic together. And he wasn't always on my team, or in my group, but we interacted enough and we had some, you know, we interacted enough to be friendly. And then he and I both started streaming on Twitch. And then at one point, I forget exactly how it came up, but he and I decided that we would stream

01:46:05 A King of the Sea tournament together on our own. And we did a pretty good job. A pretty good job even to the point where we got a lot of folks who were veterans in the community and even pro players sort of being like, dude, you guys... The dynamic duo vibe going on. Yeah, like you guys really got good understanding of how things were. And were fun to watch. So that was really fun. So I believe we did that again. And...

01:46:34 And then eventually we both became community contributors. And then eventually I joined the company. And I remember talking with Esconce shortly after I joined the company. I remember telling him about it. And he said, you know, I was thinking of applying for a position myself. And I said, you absolutely should. And lo and behold, I think a month or two after I got hired, Mr. Esconce was similarly hired. And I will just say...

01:47:02 To sort of wrap up, I will say, I have, I will, I can say this with 100% certainty, I do not know a single person in the entire world who is more genuinely kind than Ascons. Truly a kind man, very selfless in many ways, and as a community manager, he absolutely loved the game.

01:47:31 Es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um, es geht um

01:47:59 Ja, ich meine, es ist nicht viel, ich wirklich, ich habe wirklich, wirklich gehalten, um, so, ich werde immer immer auf Team Auskonts sein, in das Regarde. Und es wird, es wird, es wird nicht so, um, zu arbeiten mit ihm, aber... Ich denke, es gibt viele coolen Dinge, dass er kann, weil er, er hat immer eine interessante, neue Art und Art und Art und Art und Art. Super Passionate, super Hardworking. Ja, super Hardworking.

01:48:30 Oh dear, I'm not in a good position hearing.

01:48:35 Oh, so many torpedoes. Over lunch we had a pretty good, we had a bunch of laughs about some Asconce stories. Traveling with Asconce was always fun. Asconce did not have the most varied food palette. So finding food was always an adventure. It was always an adventure. A particular palette. Very discerning. Very discerning.

01:49:01 Yes, he is a true gem of the community, 100%. I got a message from a CC this morning asking if he was in fact leaving, and I said yes, he's taken off. And he said, the response was, I think that's a very sad thing for the game and the community in general. He was in a really important fixture. And I said, yeah.

Community Management, Spielbalance und Clan Battles

01:49:25

01:49:25 Ja, er war. Ich denke, er wird noch nicht sein. Ich meine, es ist nicht so, dass er sich... Er ist schon, er ist schon, er ist schon, er ist schon. Er ist schon, er ist schon, er ist schon. Er ist schon, er ist schon, er ist schon. Playing World of Warships, ist das your work? Ist das our work? Well, every, every week we get to sit down for two hours and talk to the wonderful community here and play some games of World of Warships as part of our job, so I suppose it is part of it. Es ist part of our job, ja. Geishu und I are community managers, um, and yeah, part of our job is to... You have an extra word in there now.

01:49:53 I know, I'm a community engagement manager, and partly that is because of the amount of player-facing work that I do, the amount of on-camera work, and the amount of other things that I do is a little bit different. But yeah, our job as community managers, I think, could be summarized by saying, we act as a midpoint between the developers and the players. So very frequently our job entails telling the developers about what's going on in the community.

01:50:21 Translating player into developer. Um, very often it is also about translating developer into player. And then explaining that to players. Which is good, because folks like Gaishu and I, we've obviously played a lot of the game. We know the game, we know the community pretty well. Um, so... Yeah. What's really been interesting is getting to know the developers better, and um...

01:50:49 um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um,

01:51:20 What pays better, McDonald's or World of Warships? I have never worked at McDonald's. I hear Corporate McDonald's pays pretty well. Really? I don't know, actually. I just assumed that given the size of their business, corporate would probably pay. Do they pay in McNuggets? You don't get to play World of Warships. That's what you pay to play World of Warships.

01:51:43 How do buffs and nerfs happen? That is a wonderful question. Generally speaking, a ship will release, will work its way into the hands of more and more players, so for the first couple of months we'll let it sit, collect the data, collect the feedback, and then maybe make an initial decision if it's over- or underperforming too much in a particular direction. But as you may have seen over the last, I'd say like half a year or so now, we've started to do some regular balance changes, including a pretty

01:52:13 Ich glaube, das war zwei Jahre alt. Ja, das war ja. Ja, das war ja. Ja, das war ja. Aber es war 23, ich glaube. Aber generell ist es, wir kombinieren Feedback und Daten, um zu schauen, ob die Schiffe, die helfen in einer anderen Richtung brauchen. Ja. Ich denke, ich habe einen Haaland vor mir, von mir. Ich denke, ich kann es nicht helfen, aber ich möchte, dass ich in der Falle die. Okay. Ich freue mich für dich. Danke. Ja.

01:52:43 I have this little problem with Incomparable, which is that sometimes I don't stop shooting, which means I get a little too far up. And then you can't turn around and you die. Oh, and there's the Hound. Oh yeah, okay, he's not in front of me, he's in front of you. He was spotting me, so he was spotting me from like down there. Cool. And there are the torpedoes. Well, if you die of torpedoes, it's my fault, sorry. Just kidding, it's your fault. I'll stick one. One is fine. Just kidding, it's your fault. Well, yeah. Can't do that anymore.

01:53:23 This is the Barbiano, by the way, in an endless stream of sap shots. Yeah, I kind of wish that I could be watching you just so that I could see the Barbiano. Nice, okay. Key thing there was, please don't get utterly smashed, giga smashed by the Missouri. Yeah, Missouri's pretty accurate.

01:53:51 Und ich habe viele Schattern, weil der Kreml ist nicht so gut, dass es nicht so viel Struktur ist. Du kannst 3v1-DDs in das Ding. Es hat viele Hit-Points für eine Destroyer. Und natürlich, die Rated-Fire mit den S.A.P. mit der S.A.P. ist, dass du kannst. Oh, rest in peace, Boggy.

01:54:17 Look at that absolute rain of shells.

01:54:47 Ich werde nur ein Smoke hier benutzen. Ich werde den Kansas und den Kremlern getrennt werden. Ich werde meine Schäuze nicht gut machen, um die Superstruktur zu treffen. Oh, hier ist niemand. Okay, wir benutzen die Shell Radar. Okay, wir diskutieren Foggy's Flare. Was ist mein Flare? Was ist? Foggy Flare? Das ist ein reales Ding.

01:55:20 Bis zum nächsten Mal.

01:55:22 The interesting thing about Braviano is you actually have an alternate fire mode that reduces your reload slightly, but gives you, I believe, 32mm of 10, so 34, yep. Kansas is actually relatively thin-skinned, so if I use the alternate fire mode, I can actually find a lot of this plating. Although it's a little angled here, so I'll just shoot the normal mode into the superstructure. What's the drawback to the firing mode? It reduces your reload by, I think, about 23%, so you fire slower, you have less GPM, but you go from, like, a...

01:55:51 26mm auf 10-34mm. Ich bin echt, Ihr Rate of Fire still looks pretty high. Ja, aber ich habe es noch nicht auf. Aber als das Kansas-Kanzas-Kanzas-Kanzas-Kanzas-Kanzas-Kanzas-Kanzas-Kanzas-Kanzas-Kanzas-Kanzas-Kanzas-Kanzas-Kanzas

01:56:18 Das ist verrassend. Versus die Thin-Skinned Battleships, die man überall kann. Die Alternative Fireboar hilft viel. Wenn du mit Cruisern hast du auch viel.

01:56:30 This is like death by a thousand tickles. Unfortunately, I did not get the kill there, but sorry. If I aim better, I probably would have had it. Barriano looks pretty fun, man. Yeah, yeah. If you enjoy the fast, just pure gunboat style, it's definitely a good one. It actually is relatively fast, even I think without the engine boost, but when the engine boost is up, it's quite speedy. It is very big for a destroyer, so quite easy to hit.

Cowboy-Hüte, Spielmechaniken und Matchmaker-Diskussion

01:56:54

01:56:54 So you ought to watch out. No leather jacket. Looks like Geishu stole his hat, too. That is not my hat. I think that was actually... Asconce got that hat for recording his contribution to the Golden Barnacle Awards. Name's Asconce.

01:57:22 What, do you like the hat, Bogsy? No, I'm good. Alright. I should, before someday I leave Texas, which may happen someday, I should definitely get a cowboy hat and cowboy boots, shouldn't I? Yeah, how could you have been in Texas for this long and it just not happen? I don't want to be a poser. Not that you are. Somebody put that on you. Somebody put that posing on me, you know. Oh, am I really not going to be able to finish him before somebody else gets it?

01:57:53 Oh... Okay, you got him, yeah. You better believe me, I'm gonna put my daughter in cowboy boots, though. You were born in Texas, girl. She's a Nashville Texan. Yeah. Cowboy hat and Schnell boots. That's pretty good.

01:58:16 Not bad. Now we need WoW-Branded Schnell boots. What would Schnell boots look like, Boxy? Schnell boots? Uh, as you walk in them, they go like this. They go up and down. Little torpedo tubes on the sides. So they look like Danish clogs, or Dutch clogs.

01:58:36 Can I find one of these destroyers before the game ends? Or should I just sit in the cap and get the basic speed for that? You might run into the aventurier. I think I'm actually going to cap here so I can get the basic speed for it and maybe get that e-badge. What's your concealment? 8.8. Ooh. But I have the slot 5 rudder mod instead of the concealment. Oh, living danger. So with a full conceal build, it goes down to about the same level as Kleber and Haberowsk, I believe. I see. But...

01:59:03 I think it actually does kind of need the rudder mod just because of how big and clumsy it is. Having the rudder mod makes a big difference in terms of your ability to dodge fire. Can someone take a second and explain what the heck is going on? About what? Might need to be more specific. We are two CMs, Union Managers. He's the Community Engagement Manager, actually. I'm just a CM. And we play World of Warships once a week for two hours on the...

01:59:30 Huh.

02:00:01 Maybe. Das ist eigentlich nicht eine gute Idee. Das ist nicht eine gute Idee, einfach nur ein Rundown von Steelschips. Ja, ich meine in generell... Oh, der Holland, finally. Wenn ich kann Ame, sollte ich ein decentes Damage aus ihm sein. Oder wenn ich nicht die, ist es Torpedos. Warum kann ich nicht Matchmaker sein zu sein? Ich denke, was du bedeutet... Plus, one, minus, one. Plus, one, minus, one.

02:00:26 The game is balanced for a two tier spread for the most part. There's another thing which is that if the matchmaker is spread plus one minus one as opposed to what it is now, which is plus two minus two, that will cause strain on the matchmaker because it will make it harder to make a match. So...

02:00:48 Currently, for example, ships in a match cannot be more than two tiers apart. They can't be three tiers apart, it can only be two. Unless you make a fail division. Um, but...

02:01:02 Ja, wenn es nur eine Partei war, das ist, was du sagst. Es würde es viel schwieriger für den Matchmaker zu finden und starten ein Match. Das führt zu etwas, was man usually callen Q-Dumps oder Small-Matches, wo es ein Team gibt, wo ein Team hat mehr Battleships oder Destorers in den anderen.

02:01:23 Oder es gibt nicht einen Equal-Match-Up-Tiers. Oder es gibt eine 10v10-Match-Up-Tiers. Oder es gibt eine 10v10-Match-Up-Tiers. Und diese Match-Up-Tiers sind nicht so lecker als die Normal-Match-Match-Maker, weil die Soft-Match-Match-Match-Match-Match-Match-Match-Match-Match-Match-Match-Match-Match-Match-Match-Match-Match-Match-Match-Match-Match-Match-Match-Match-Match-Match-Match-Match

02:01:53 And then as wait times go up, those restrictions get relaxed and it has to make games with what it's got. Right. So I saw somebody in the chat there say, the matchmaker needs an overhaul. Too many games are one-sided. Believe it or not, that's not the fault of the matchmaker. One-sided games. The matchmaker has nothing to do with player skill. So the matchmaker doesn't care whether you're amazing, whether every player on one side is amazing.

02:02:21 And every player on one side is horrible. It doesn't take player skill into account. For some very good reasons that are a little more complicated than we have time to explain right now. However, through the amazing thing called the Law of Averages, because it is absolutely random in how it arranges the matches by skill, since it doesn't factor in skill, sometimes you will have matches that are completely one-sided. Other times you will have matches that are one-sided the other way. Sometimes you'll have matches that are perfectly balanced and go right down to the wire.

02:02:50 Das ist einfach so, wie die Lauf-Avergenden sind.

02:03:18 definitely aware, and we can make changes to the Matchmaker to address it. But for now, as far as I'm aware, within the last few years or so, it hasn't really gone up or down too much. I just saw somebody point out something really, really, like, say it really smart. Where is it? I'm looking back. Oh, is he looking for a smart message? I know, right. Matchmaker compares boats, not players. That is correct.

02:03:45 The matchmaker will make sure that, if it's possible, it will attempt to make sure that the correct number of DDs are on each side, the correct number of battleships are on each side, so that it's mirrored in that way. But it will not take the ships themselves into account. So it doesn't care if it puts four Yamatos on one side. There actually is a little bit of a soft balancing there, where it will care about this.

02:04:09 ...nummer of ships per nation. So, if you have, say, four Yamatos, like your example, it will try to spread the number of Japanese battleships across both teams. I should say that it will try, yes. It's not a super hard and fast rule, so you will see exceptions. Radars, for example, are not factored into balance. They're not factored into the matchmaker at all. And, fun fact, people think that, well, having more radars on your side means you're going to win. That is not true at all. We saw...

02:04:36 We saw a statistic, because I think one of the devs wanted to just disprove this, so they actually showed us, they showed that having more radars on your team does not in any way mean that you are more likely to win. And I wasn't really surprised by that. I was surprised that they actually told us. Just because like, oh, okay, good, I'm glad you can put that to bed. But it, I mean, no, it really doesn't. It seems, it's one of those things where like when you're relatively new, you think that radar is...

02:05:04 Ja, ich denke, dass wir in organisiertes Team-Settings wie Tournaments und Clan Battles, für zum Beispiel, wo es super wichtig ist, dass es die Utilität und Kontrollen von Capps ist, und die Games spielen in ein viel mehr in organisiertes Fassion. Wir sehen, wie Radar, die wichtig sind, in solche Szenarien. Aber in Randoms, wo es ein bisschen mehr disorganisiert ist, wo es 12V12-Random-Teams ist, die Spiele sind in Balance, und ein Ship, wie Des Moines, für zum Beispiel, wird es nicht mehr so guter Match-Impact wie Hindenburg.

02:05:33 There you have that. Okay, what's 704? I guess we should probably get out of here. The last thing I want to say about the matchmaker and the random battle experience is that there was a good rule of thumb that I was told a long time ago when I was looking to improve my game, which is that in general, there are 30 matches that you will not be able to affect the outcome of and that you will just lose. There are 30% of matches that you will not be able to affect the outcome of and you'll just win. And what you want to focus on are those...

02:06:02 Roughly speaking, 40% of matches. 30 plus 30 is 60, so the remainder is 40, right? Quick, quick maths. Those are the matches where your player's skill has an extreme tangible impact on the outcome of the match. And those are the ones that you want to focus on. Yeah. So don't worry too much about the ones that you just win. Don't worry too much about the ones that you just lose. Focus on where you can make an impact. I just came back after not playing since Christmas. What happened to Sigma on Chips? Shells are wild now. Nothing. Nothing happened. It was exactly the same as it was.

02:06:31 There has been no game-wide change to accuracy or sigma or anything like that. Maybe you're playing a ship that got an individual balance adjustment. You can always take a look at the devlogs to see if that happened. Ooh, I wish we had time for this question because it was a really good one. How about some different tiers for CBs? We always have 8s or 9s. Why can't we have all 8s or 7s? The quick answer is that in the past there were quite a few lower tier Clan Metal Seasons and those come with their own bag of...

02:06:59 People kind of hated them. They tend to be less popular. Lower tiers also in general tend to come with a lot more restrictions anyways just because the pool of ships is so much wider and there are a little bit more outliers in terms of clan battle performance. So we tend to keep them more towards tier 10 now and the next season should be interested with the classified documents to see how that affects whether or not we have to run restrictions at all. Crazy enough, tier 9 is extremely difficult to...

02:07:26 with restrictions in Clan Battles. Because there's so many ships that are like...

02:07:32 Das machen sehr unige Dinge, wie die Black und der Neustrashimi, in den Destroyer Slots, mit der Super Heel und der Radar. Musashi mit der Overmatch. Georgia mit der Speed. Georgia mit der Speed und der Overmatch. So, es gibt viele Dinge, die in den Lower Tiers zu consider sind. Das kann ein bisschen problematisch mit der Restriction System haben, wie ein einfaches Format. Kronsch Dadd war eine Dark Horse. Kronsch Dadd ist etwas, was nicht genug Leute geben. Ja, es ist ein Tier IX. Es ist ein Supercruiser mit...

02:08:01 Basically, Battleship HP, a long-duration 12-kilometer radar, huge guns with really good ballistics. They can't hit the broadside of a barn, but... Yeah, they are shotguns, but when they hit, they do hurt. Yeah, and a decent heal as well, so it's like, oh. People don't give it enough respect because the guns are a little bit wonky, but it's a pretty monster ship. You just stack a couple of them and it's like, oh, I don't have to think anymore.

Raid zu Highfire und Abschiedsworte

02:08:27

02:08:27 All right, guys. Well, we should get out of here. We're going to be raiding our good friend... Sorry, who was it again? We were going to be raiding Highfire, who I hope is still streaming. Yeah, he's there. So we'll be tossing you guys over to him. He's a wonderful NACC who's been around for quite a while. I think made the switch over to Twitch once Facebook streaming went down. The sunglasses guy, yes. Yeah, he's awesome. That's right. Any last words, Bogsy?

02:08:53 It's great to be back. Thank you everybody, all 4,000 of you that showed up and were watching at one point. That's amazing. I haven't seen that many on the NA stream in a very long time. So really, really pleased for that. And looking forward to seeing you guys more. Now that I'm 40. Can you see it around my eyes? Can you see the lines around my eyes? You can see the baby fatigue. Baby fatigue. Alright, we'll see you guys next week for the next Community Stream. Until then...

02:09:23 Have a good one. If I can find the off button on this thing.
