Best way to play with 4 people?

[Karmaterrorᵁᴷ]

Bit odd the divisions are 3, how do we best play in a 4 group?

I heard about opperations or something like that?

Operations can be played with groups of 6 (or 7, can't remember).
Otherwise, you can set up 2 divisions of two and click to enter battle at the same time. You'll often end up in the same battle. Just not always on the same side.

And you can also get in a clan and participate in a season of clan battles.

Divisions are set to three because it's believed that a division of 4 players (who are good) working together, could win too much. Three is already very strong. Basically puts everyone else at too much disadvantage.

another suggestion is syncronised matchmaking. just have 2 divisions set up and enter the matchmaking queue at the same time. It works really well although you may not be on the same team you'll most likely be in the same game

[OG_senpoi]

in other words
it would break MM

Thanks for the replies. Bit meh that we cant just play together without all getting to T6 for opperations.

I can see that with PvP maybe, but even there a 6 man division on each side with 6 randoms should be fine, but PvE?

Its so rare to loose there that we should just be able to make a whole 8 player division imo. They do have the ability to make different modes have different max division numbers as they show with opperations :)

Yea, you're right about the PvE. Prob wasn't incorporated because PvE was never meant to be a thing even. Just for people to test new ships. It was kind of a surprise to WG that people actually liked it, but they ran with it. They just mostly leave it a lot. Takes a long time for things to change for PvE (like the carriers).

Ops can be T7 and 8 as well as far as I know. Remember if you get a full group of friends, you can pick any of them. Not just the one of the week.

Aye i do hope they change that a bit. Feels restrictive the way it is, we had to have an odd man out all last night. Seems like it would be a reletivly simple change aswell. All the code exists so it would seem to just be a matter of changing some values.

I unlocked the training room last night aswell, tried to talk em into a game there but obviously everyone has XP on the brain atm and didnt want to play that :(

Yep, I hear ya. Just wouldn't expect a change really. I understand them too tho lol I have zero interest in anything that doesn't make my captains better :)

Clan battles might be something for you to try as well. It doesn't run all the time because it alternates with Ranked battles but it'll be coming up shortly again. It's 7 vs 7 and is a bit more competitive tho the rewards are very good. Everyone on the winning team gets 2500 base xp. (Everyone on the losing team only gets 250 tho). Lots of flags, steel, and other things as rewards for winning.

Thanks il check that out, guess we gonna need 3 more players then. Man these are some odd sizings, 3 for division, 7 for clan battles. Sometimes i wish training room was the default mode. Just set up the battle how you like, as many players as you like, friends only battles where we mix up the teams each round and all that.

Anyways, im rambling again, will look at clan battles and opperations as our main game modes cheers :)

[Ryuu]

And in current ranked sprint you can play in a division of two :)
Usually ranked is solo-only mode but ranked sprints are shorter, easier and more casual. And your weight in a team is higher because battles are 7 vs 7.

Regarding Operations, there is a dedicated chat channel for people looking to form divisions in operations, typically the off-rotation ones. You can invite people to join the four of you. Alternatively for the Operation of the Week you just form your division of 4 and tick the box that allows you to play with other people also looking to play the Operation of the Week. If you're really good and work as a team there are some Ops you can do with just the four of you, which is the absolute minimum number allowed (Narai, Aegis). If you just want giggle you can always enter co-op with your 2x2 divisions and possibly be in the same game on the same side, depending on queue times...

[MOOSA]

Really wish a team of 4 or 5 could play together whenever we wish like... Similar to other games...

[Banzai]

They can in some modes. Operations allow it as do some brawl seasons plus there is of course clan battles and the training room. Allowing larger divisions into randoms would be troublesome since at the moment the maximum is 1/4 of a team (at least when its a 12v12 anyway). A good division will have a lot of match impact but will still be beatable. Alllowing them to bring more would be turning the mode into clan battles with the very good clans being next to unbeatable unless they ran into another good clan with a large division.

Also please dont necro 5 yr old topics - it just creates confusion. By all means start a new one.

Locked.
