Post here if you like current Ships and don't wan't Ship 2.0

How many times have you quit and restarted World of Warcarft because there have been far more horrific changes to that game than the ship revamp?!

I agree. With the exception of the ships table... they just need to leave things alone.

I’m concerned that 3v3 will lead to an even more copycat meta and will make battles so fast that Capital Ships will be redundant. Most will now have to use the first turn to bring in a reinforcement.

This. Someone/some people will figure out the best starting 3+next 2 reinforcements, and it will be the same as we have now.. plus with them changing hardware abilities to the reinforcement bonuses, still be the same thing

It's not 3v3. It starts out as 3v3, with revamped or changed abilities (not all ships, not all abilities), and the reinforcements will have new abilities just for coming into the battle, so it will wind up being 5v5 by the time the battle gets going. But with the changes in abilities (probably about half, plus all get a reinforcement ability), there will be a new dynamic as you have to decide who to use as a reinforcement and WHY you would use them at that time and not the other ship. It will be a totally different way of playing ships, but it will still be 5v5 after a few rounds.

And no, my posting here doesn't count as liking the old way of ships. I want a change, keeps it fresh

When I saw AhnaldT101s video on it I hated it. Ships has a lot of problems, but 5v5 isn’t one of them. 3v3 is going too far with these changes. Instead of reworking the whole game formula, how about you make all the worthless ones good? There are only like 10 good ships and 2 good capital ships. Just rework the terrible ships (all the other ones) and be done with it. 3v3 is fine in TW, but not in arena. It’s just dumb. Can you guys just leave well enough alone? I don’t know what you’re trying to accomplish here, but ships doesn’t need this. No one asked for it, but I gues we’re getting it. Just know, that this is the dumbest thing added to this game. “Ever. Of all time.” -Agent Washington

Knowing their modus, they're going to make the current least used ships useful and force you to G12+3 those pilots and kitten over those of us who've already G12+3 the current meta. (TIEs Bistan)

And of course sell those brand new shiny reinforcement/hardware materials in a premium pack.

Despite a shocking RNG day I usually finish top 10 daily.

Seems to me from first impressions they've missed the issue. It's not 5v5 but the lack of options.

With a bounty hunter rework, add Dengar's ship, Cad's and Zam's. Month later, go bold and add General Kenobi's, Anakin's and another jedi's ship. 2 months and 6 new options.

Feel this makes it less skill and more RNG based. You can bring on God's ship but TFP could no doubt dodge it :wink:

I enjoy fleet more than arena. If this sinks to arena level, I'll play on like a mindless drone.

I guess we'll soon see...

I am willing to give it a try. The way ships are now is terrible. I like the 5v5 but the rng is fricking terrible. Seems to be getting worse too.
