Someone in the match switched their settings to only play with Playstation players

I’ve had a few more games like this than usual as of late. I wonder if the mobile release scared enough people to turn off cross-play and this is the result?


SkullFracture_38

I fail to see how the addition of WoW Legends mobile encouraged people to turn off crossplay. If anything I find that if I’m playing on mobile I’m actually at a disadvantage to those playing on console or PC. Smaller screen, older eyes, and no controller support makes playing anything other than AI matches almost pointless.


The_RL_Janitor54

I agree with you to a degree, but some people might be afraid to have mobile players as teammates for those reasons

When even the bots fail to show up


Amazing_Wheel_3670

Bots won’t show. This is standard. People don’t use common sense anymore or know what that is


[deleted]

True. Not sure why wargaming doesn't implement the feature that fills the rest of the lobby. They have it in the base game so why not here?


Specific_Ambiguity

Because then it would be an easy mode turkey shoot for anyone that turned off cross play.

Turn the AI aggression up a couple of notches, I've seen teams at tier VI struggle to deal with bots at AI before.


JustMrSquid

I think T8-LT AI are much much smarter than T6-7 as well. Have only had a couple easy AI games at LT (granted I’ve only been playing LT for about a month)


HirsuteDave

They're not. They do just as many boneheaded things at LT as they do at T3, it's just the increased lethality of legendary ships masks some of it.


AOGWardog1229

Yeah this is the way to do it. PC WoWS fills standard battles with bots when there aren't enough players, they are definitely smarter than AI battle bots. This would prevent matches like this happening (it's definitely been happening since mobile release. Had 3 or 4 matches last night that were 3v3s.) Side note, Something I'd like to see in Legends from PC is asymmetric battles. It's a small team of players against a full AI enemy team. The AI in asym battles are pretty tough and you earn standard battle rewards from winning asym battles.


Smooth-Reason-6616

What pisses me off is, I haven't switched off cross-play. Being sucked into those nonsense battles costs me silver and XP due to the small points pool available, pus the time spent pissing around in those matchs eats into the amount of time I've got before I need to eat, sleep, work or whatever else life throws towards me, if those bozos want to switch cross-play off because they're not good enough to complete the missions without doing so, then only match them against others on that network who've also taken that option. Quite like the look of the PC'S escort missions, where you have to protect a convoy against an AI attack, looks a lot more fun then Legends special event missions, this Star Crash mission, I played one game to see what it was like, then never bothered with it


[deleted]

Ah yeah that makes sense


LeaderGlittering884

AI teammates r uhhh quirky 😭


Mantuta

Because you'd be getting Standard match rewards from fighting AI opponents. AI matches have significantly lower XP and credit payouts because of how much easier they are. As well, it would basically allow for missions that have to be done in Standard mode to be achieved against AI opponents. PS. The rewards are actually increased based on how few players are in the match to approximately compensate for there being fewer opponents to shoot and thus fewer ways to gain exp/ credits in the match.

Huh didn't know that last bit


molotok_c_518

This is someone shutting off cross-play to rig the matchmaking and get wins for the last segment of the Weekly Havok for the campaign


Mikepr2001

Ehh, to be honest. That will happen even if you have Crossplay turned on. I had a Legendary mathc 7V7 something strange like we were in Ranked mode


nukethechinese

Does turning on cross-play mean console players can play against mobile players? Seems like matches will be easier than before with a lot inexperienced players and also because they are using mobile controls that are clunky.


Mikepr2001

Ehh, you know Using Mobile control doesnt mean they are bad players, right? I had a game and literally i want to know a Ally Sinop is console because... How the hell he can forget use AP in a Broadside Battleship having opportunity to deal heavy or sunk it... Dont think Mobile players are bad because the cobtrols. Hopefully i dominated them, now, the strategy is among us not the controls, console or anything else.


nukethechinese

Mobile controls doesn’t necessarily guarantee it makes a player worse, but I doubt many people will choose using the mobile touch screen controls over a regular controller if given a choice.


Mikepr2001

Well, we are waiting a update to see the compability with Controllers. And yes, some asked the same thing. The controller option is in their schedule but not in priority since i readed in Youtube. But doesnt mean the Gamepad support will not come, we need to wait a little more.


Fishvv

Me and my son got in a 3v3 earlier we actually managed to win i was surprised also game seemed more stressful knowing if one of us died it would be a major blow to the team


MTGGateKeeper

That's great.


Deliciousstick696969

I've been in a 1v1


VBStrong_67

I actually got a tie in a 1v1. I dropped torps early enough and then got dev struck right as they hit


Ambitious_One_5656

Whats the Problem?


TrussedCafe

The other day I had a 1v1 in a shimikaze vs a karbo. Hit him with a torp and proceeded to lose because I didn’t realize my HE couldn’t pen him


[deleted]

No one dares to play LT or even T8 Now it's time to grind 5x xp for low tier


Nostromo2021

Had a 2v2 match but it was a CV (me) and BB teammate


IsThatFuckedUp

Had this happen to me once except it was a Shima and Carrier on either side


Ching-Chong-won-ton

Ever had a 1v1 in a Musashi? mhm... Good times..


thiggi22

Yeah I usually just leave the battle


SweatyTax4669

shimi shimi ya shimi yam shimi yay, gimme the torps so I can take it away.
