the topic was changing the requirement of entering blitz from bo being lower then 60 to having a ship lower then 60. subject was cut off so just wanted to make sure that was clear.

The idea of blitzkrieg was so that new players could learn about the game without being farmed by high level players in low level ships.

1: lvl 60 BO's can enter blitz, lvl 61 can't.

2: At lvl 61 most of the PBB come in. Even though at 61 a PBB will most likely have a pretty awful spread, it is still far too good compared to BB1. If you raise the cap high enough to allow all nations PBB in ( 65), you're also letting in some of the BB2 ( Lyon, Normandie, Gangut, QE) and a few CV3 . So what would make the next fair blitz cap?

With the cap at lvl 60 a good crew crew/driver with a good CL/CA has a (small) chance against a blitz BB. Raising that cap will shift the balance more towards the BB's and CV's, giving them even greater opportunities to farm blitz.. It will also lessen blitz enjoyment for the low levels a lot. And even if the blitz cap were raised, the majority of players that graduate from blitz will still get farmed when they enter the GB arena, not helping their transition much.

The 60/61 is just the best cut off point for blitz-> GB.

To do well at times as a blitz graduate in GB you have to play smart and with patience in GB, if you don't want to do either you're much better of to keep on rerolling in blitz.

in response to ljsevern, if severe limitations were put on for bos in terms of experience and credits given to bos above lvl 61 then farming would not be why high lvl bos would play blitz. it would be simply for fun.

in response to danita
1. yes i know its 61 was just saying 60 because that one lvl doesn't really matter
2. you would not want to raise the cap past 60, i strongly agree with you on that (or 61 if you are worried about that one lvl) but in terms of the power shifting i would have to disagree, in blitz you already have pca and pbb but it does bring up a good point. what if instead we allowed bos of higher lvl to enter but with boats ca or lower. this would prevent older players from using bbs, pbb, and cvs. then it would simply allow players to keep a favored ship up to CAs. i dont know about you but when i play in blitz cas are tough but not tuff enough that a good dd or cl could take them down. i think this revised idea of allowing high players to play in cas or lower is probably a better idea, do you agree?

Yes, but what kicked me out of Blitz and what I think most people are kicked out of blitz is the Gunners. My gunners were a few levels higher than my BO and I couldn't play blitz without them.

There are quite a few High level players that don't play for experience and credits ...... and having them play blitz would be quite bad for the new less experienced players, In saying that I wouldn't mind seeing a game mode with restrictions of around levels 40-80, I think that could possibly help bridge the game play gap for new players instead of the giant leap from Blitz play to GB play that we have now - although this might be getting off topic and SS still need to be balanced

Edit: @ LJ GB fails anyway and needs to be re-worked to make it less fail ........

lol KM pe 65+ gunner + 5.9 trips = tight spread and quicky reload.... lol ii can see ppl getting annoyed by that not to mention all the other ships i'll could haul ass lol and what about the kita?..... i'm pretty sure at higher levels the trop reload time shortens... i know if i was playin in a blitz game i wouldn't wanna see 2 torp waves with in seconds of the next, also what about the hh and phh whores? higher level gunners allow for quicker reload of hh... don't get me wrong i am kinda infavor of the idea but them things will be problems
