Done... (except the background)

 

Wow, that looks much more polished. 

Great stuff, thanks so much.

I never worry about MoE's. I have one marked a number of tanks and don't care about getting to three. If I ever get three then sweet, but I'm always happy to get a one Mark when I know I am playing a popular tank for OP's and such.

I was at 80% in my E50 during week 1 of March tankness. I've been playing exceptionally well in it lately (better than during that 1st week) my damage standing is low 70% now and won't budge. I guess all the bad players broke out their E50s during Germany's round and lowered the bar.

Ive been stuck at 80% on my VK30.01P for ages. Rolled out last night and boom my 2nd mark, so how does that work?

 

But Im happy as its my 1st 2nd mark

Because it's based on the cumulative performances of the past week or so. When the OPs are on and it's school holidays, all the clowns come out to play, which typically lowers the bar.

I've been reading this thread again and I don't think that a bunch of tomatoes will change how difficult it is to earn marks. On the first page of this thread, op gives this example:

"Let’s say the top damage + assist damage for the IS-6 per match is 7000 points of damage.  To get the first mark, you need higher than 65% of that, which is 4500.  85% is 5950 and 95% is 6650.  Remember it’s the average of damage dealt + assist damage!"

What would appear to make it easier would be fewer good people playing the last 14 days so that the top damage + assist damage is lower.

I think you meant bad players not good players. Bad players lower expectations values good players don't. That's why they're good. Now there will always be more bad players than good players who skew the expectation values for marks. So on holidays, events, or any other time that draws more players than usual marks always dip down lower than normal. It's pretty simple.

Got my first mark in the M24 Chaffee in 36 battles.  My fastest one yet.  Also picked up the Ace Mastery in that same battle, which was kind of cool.

 

[UBERSICKO]

shouldn't the Swedish tanks have a crown for their MOE's? Also the French should have fleur de lis 

[UBERSICKO]

here's the French one

[Pontiac Pat]

^^^ Great ideas.  Crown and Fleur de Lis would be great!

It just makes sense and would look so much better.

There's one significant problem with the MOE system: 7v7 and 12v12 matches. With the East server gone, this is what's on the table for night-time players in the EU-server. Needless to say, it's rather impossible to three-mark a tank in 7v7 games. Kill over half of the enemy team, get a high caliber and watch those numbers go down.. I think there ought to be some sort of a system to balance it, i.e. the game should take into account how many tanks were actually in the match and factor that in when counting the percentages for MOEs.

 

Opinions?

If you play a tank and have a decent game and find you are moving the moe needle significantly - go try hard mode for awhile. The rolling averages may be favorable at that time.

It may pay off.

I had my strv tier 6 prem at around 90.5% and only played it for doubles here and there. Had a decent game and noticed the bar moved significantly. I went try hard and managed to get 95% and three marks some 7 games later.

Sometimes you have a decent game and you find your moe status actually barely moves or goes down for tough tanks. Walk away lol.

I do the same.

I am learning the meta game with marking tanks. And so getting some success. So yeah there are periods where to best leave it alone and others where you go for it.

 

Also for some tanks, you are better off trying to get in to -2 games and spotting for assist damage rather than trying to get your own damage up. Actually for some tanks I think this is the only way to get 3 marks period. Which kind of devalues the whole concept of marking IMO.

At the moment, only players that have already earned a Mark of Excellence will be able to see the progress towards the next one. Players without a Mark on any of their tanks will not be able to see their percentage while they try to earn the first Mark. This will be changed in future updates, allowing players to view their progress percentage even if they do not currently own a Mark.

 

 

Any update about that ?

This is old information, it has been updated for quite some time now. In game, go to stats and every vehicle you have that's tier 5 and up with at least one game will show your percentage of damage standing. As an example if it says 25% that means you have averaged more combined damage that 25% of the people who have played that tank in the last two weeks.

I think it maybe time for a reset.. in my case my British bulldog has been stuck at 76.2% for the longest time and it makes no difference what the results are. The other day I had a string of good games and a 2600k damage game plus assist for a 3k combined. You would think the MOE percentage would move a little? Nope! i'm giving up!

I couldn't resist and had a peek. You had a couple of excellent games for sure, but one or two pants ones in there.

You *are* doing fine though, 2 marks will definitely come, stick with it.
