How can I see who complimented me?

[No, I'm not, You are!]

Ahoy admirals!

I started playing again today, being gone for years, man I missed this game. Sadly I have to start all over with a steam account :( ah well its a fun game, boy did I miss this :)

anyway lots of new things including complimenting ppl, so questions:

1) where to see who complimented me? I want to return the favor :)
2) where can I keep track of karma?

thanks in advance mateys! yarrr

Compliments are anonymous, as are reports. Unless the person tells you, there's no way to know. As for where to see your karma points, you can find them under your profile tab when in port. Its the smaller raised number beside your set commander patch/emblem IIRC.

And just so you know, while receiving compliments and getting karma is nice, the only in-game benefit is an increase in the number of compliments and reports you can give out on a daily basis, based reaching certain karma level milestones. I mention it only because some folks hope there may be tangible rewards.

No problem. And yeah, I can see not wanting to appear rude or so by not returning the favour. I think WG just figures its easier to keep the whole system anonymous, rather than just the reports (which I understand keeping anonymous). Why they figure that, I don't know, heh. In the meantime, just pass on your compliments to whomever you feel has earned them. You can think of it as paying it forward, if you like. :)

If you've played AFTER closed beta(after September 17, 2015) your account should still be intact with all progress. If you've played before and made any purchases - you should be able to login into that account as well and all purchases would be re-issued or compensated( Kitakami), progress was wiped for all closed beta players.

If there's nothing on that account you would miss - i hope you grabbed this https://steamcommunity.com/app/552990/discussions/0/1621724915766672149/ . If not and don't have anything you'd miss on the current account(purchases, nickname) - there's a way to recreate account linked with Steam.

In any case i can assist you :)

1) where to see who complimented me? I want to return the favor :)

No way for that. As you understand +compliment for +compliment and -report in revenge for -report would not be a good idea. Compliment those you feel DESERVE it, not in response, one of them might be that complimenter, might not. Currently karma doesn't do much anyway, so it's not that important, just a simple gesture.

You can still compliment your friends and people you know if you wish if you meet them in a battle, as long as you're not in a division with them.

2) where can I keep track of karma?

Click Profile, it's a small number near your nickname. There's no limit and it can't go below 0. Having more karma lets you give more compliments&reports per day.

There were some minor rewards for that before, now it's on rework, might return someday. I still like looking at my karma nevertheless

I'd heard there were. I'm guessing it was being gamed, thus it just granting the extra compliments and reports now.

Side note, slightly sad panda I was earlier. Had my best GK match yet, but sadly no compliments. 208k damage, top XP, 4 kills, confed, high caliber, close quarters, flesh wound, and even added a cap and some cap defense ribbons for good measure. I died just before we won, but not before earning over 4 million potential damage in total (double my average).

Yes, I'm a little smug and proud, heh. XD

The better you do the more likely you are to get reported rather than complimented. Sadly most people are sore losers, and your teammates would likely blame you for something because you did so well and they didnt :/.

It's not winning that matters, it's how cool you've done it <- sometimes i act like this

@ Ryuu

theres a way to link the old non-steam account? :o how? I never played any beta, just did before it came to steam. unless that was beta and I didn't realise it? :p

honestly tho its been so long, a new account might be good to relearn everything, even tho T1-3 feels like im smurfing atm hehe. even had a game with 6 kills all on my own. but this also happens on the other end sometimes, if they have a good player, he will murder my entire team hehe. gawd its good to be back!

I already notice they nerfed the hell out of my ♥♥♥ DD's tho haha. I guess it was needed.

Well, not linking, unfortunately WG-accounts are not officially supported for Steam version. You can download standalone client for it or use a workaround for Steam version:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1200479870
Mind that it breaks Steam achievements and Steam wallet for this game, but otherwise it's feasible.

If you've played before July 2, 2015 - it was a closed beta phase; after that there was a short open beta phase and formal release. So depending when you have played - you do or do not have your former progress on that account, but account itself should be there(and purchases on it). You remember your login(email) and password or at least region and nickname?


Mind that before you reach tier 5 or account level 12(IIRC) you're in a newbie matchmaker (only playing with or vs another newbies) and ships with nicknames like :This: are bots - even in Random battles mode, but they still give good rewards and it's good for getting a grip on the game. Against real players it would be more challenging :)

Yeah, they were hit by at least 2 significant nerfs on my memory, not to mention global smoke and "long-distance invisible shooting" nerfs. They're my favorite branch and i still like them, but i also recommend trying Pan-asian branch - i love stealthy devastating deepwater torpedoes , even though i can't "comb smokes" with them - they don't hit destroyers. And having 5 smoke charges that are almost always ready to deploy is good too :P

Shimakaze would be a bit buffed in the next update, and torpedoes in general - they would be 50% less visible from the air, at the moment their surface visibility = air visibility.
