Defeat = Mastery Ace

 

Victory = No Mastery Ace

 

These screenshots came from the first week after Patch 3.3.

Numerous games in 4k dmg and defeats got Mastery Ace while a good number of 6k dmg victory did not get Mastery Ace. (I didn't screencap the 4k dmg Mastery Aces as they first appear to be just a little funky and not particularly remarkable.) Obj 140 is Obj 140. You will get Mastery Ace one way or another.  But in some tanks you almost have to lose on purpose in order to get Mastery Ace. I have had 4k dmg games in Tier 8 and not receive Mastery Ace. (NOT a TD. I don't play TDs.)

 

"Valiant" play in a defeat deserves praise; so do carrying the team to victory by doing thousands of damage and assist.

 

Is Valiant Effort overdone? It seems to upset the Mastery Ace mechanics.

 

I think the current Valiant Effort makes equal or greater amount of effort and results in victory less awarded than in defeat. 

Perhaps Valiant Effort needs to be applied for victories as well.

 

What do you think?

What 

 

 

 

I could get behind a valiant effort for both victory and defeat.

 

Alternatively, we could have valiant effort treat the game as a victory for xp and credit calculations


Masteries: T-34-85, Luchs, Flakroaster, JPanther x2, KV-2, SU-152, Panzer IVs, BT-2, T18

Tanks I like: M6, Pz. II G, Luchs, T-28, T-34-85, KV-1 (sold), 

Current Garage (* = fully researched): M5 Stuart, M4 Sherman*, Panzer IVs*, M7*, M4A3E8*, T20*, M6 (Woo crew grind!), Hellcat*, T25AT*, Luchs*, JPanther*, MT-25*, T-28*, T-34-85*, KV-1S*, KV-2*, IS, SU-152*, B1, and zero slot(s). (How did I get 20 slots?)

Particularly for suggesting Valiant Effort should be re-tweaked?

Under Release Feedback (3.3), there had been none.

THIS! This is what I've been saying since day one... if you get a Valiant Effort achievement, it just treats the game as a victory in terms of XP and Credits.

Winning team players should not be able to collect Valiant effort points. They get the victory. A losing team player that cause the most havoc and shows never give up spirit should be entitled to the valiant effort because valiant means to stand tall even in the worst of times.
 
I just fought a battle where I was only tier 1 on team and I killed 3 of 5 tanks the team killed and the second most damage amongst team. I
did get the valiant effort.
 
I think a medal, ribbon or silver star with the count of times the award was won should be shown in players awards.

The idea of awarding "valiant" play in defeat is sound. But single-handedly carrying the team to victory by doing thousands of damage and thousands of spotting assistance is no less a feat. Don't you think? And do you think the effort and result of carrying a team to victory should be awarded by a proportional amount of xp and credit?

I think this whole system should just be removed.

I personally think if your team wins and you caused the most damage you should get it. Not necessarily the most kills because there are a lot of kills stolen by other players camping but based on highest damage on the winning team.
