about the super testing. if they are making so many demands and expecting you spend your time at specific dates. that’s a fucking job that they want you to do for free for them. it’s a video game internship at best.
tell war gaming to cut you a check or fuck off. I don’t give a shit who nominated you they are literally getting a free quality testing service. this is a massive game company and that kind of shit work should be putting money in your bank account.
I’ve had some of my best games in my Minekaze and Isokaze, especially after my Minekaze captain got the Concealment Expert skill. 5.4 km concealment range with the premium camouflage package makes for a seriously dangerous Minekaze. I never played when they had 10km range torpedoes for the Minekaze, which I agree would’ve been really broken, but with my current setup it’s very close to being OP. Cheers
Beyond early access/giving WG feedback is there any real benefit to Super Testing if you can not talk about it? If your end goal is to grow youtube/twitch streaming and want to be able to have a life I would forgo it as well. I can see being able to use some knowledge or reputation you may gain as a super tester to upload videos ahead of your “competition” where you may gain early access to premium ship reviews or something but really I am not sure I see great benefits.
hey +Business6 As someone else that has lived under NDAs, I look at this way. You use the NDA to get access to things early and be a force to implement good things and make an impact to the product, or in this case the game. Doing what you do currently, you can still make an impact to the game (though more as an after thought) but, you also impact the community with your own opinions, testing and feedback in your videos. It’s whatever you feel like, and congratulations!
Hey business i just watched the Montana overview and great points about penetration because in the stats the Montana ,Iowa ,and North Carolina all fire the 2700 lbs Mk 8 Super-heavy shell which is able to penetrate as good or better than the Yamato’s 18.1 in shell. So at least the Montana should be able to penetrate the Yamato but technically the North Carolina and Iowa should as well but that would be unfair for a tier 8 North Carolina to penetrate a Yamato that often
Good luck on the supertester decision. That is a tough one. Seeing that your idea for the USN BB line being a little more accurate as a thing may happen, maybe they are listening. You already have influence.
Whatever happens, it’s been great watching this channel grow.
I enjoy your ships and giggles videos. They are really good and very informative on how you play. Over the weekend I happened to be in a match with you. Normally I don’t check players names in matches but notice you had written in chat and recognized the name. I thought about saying something but didn’t but overall that was a decent match. How I found out about your channel was from Swagger.
It would be nice if you could leave some live stream on Twitch to watch even if youre not online, I like to watch streams at night and im usually browsing some famous names to see something but theres no video on your twitch to watch :)
Great episode. The NC saving the ram was a particular high point, as was the salvos on the Montana and Atago near the end. Very cool that you were asked to be a super tester, not a surprise though given your handle on the game. Congrats on that!
Another excellent video Business. As for the supertester, I’d say if you can work out a proper schedule, go for it. Your cogent reviews and tactics discussions would be greatly appreciated by your followers. I hope that’s not true presumptuous, but speaking for myself, I’ve learned much from your work. At any rate, keep the great vids coming.
Well, enjoying your vids since quite a bit, so thanks for that!
About the ST invitation: As much of a honor it is, if it doesn’t fit in your schedule and your not able to juggle all your other responsibilties around, so that you can keep your personal quality standards, than it would probably be best, to pass this invitation up. Despite all the perks about knowing ahead of the development. So as the others here commented: If you have a bad feeling about it, listen to that feeling.
If you accept being supertester, you will probably hurt your channel by not getting the same amount of content. If more streamers/youtubers declines, then just maybe WG will reconsider the strict NDA.
Hi, been following your videos. Don’t play as much WOWS as I would like to. One change I think would help teams is to change one of the text messages. Personally, I would never use “Help” since I feel that you put yourself into the situation you are in. What I think would be helpful, especially early in the match is “Detected”, to let teammates know when you have been spotted before you can detect your enemy. Keep up the good work.
what do youvthink of the Yorck for ranked. with the plethora of DDs cruisers are needed on the teams.
I have the Myoko but it just doesn’t work well for me. The Yorck feels better but with significant less health and the need for cruisers to hunt the DDs I am concerned about survivability in a ship of a class that has a tough time surviving as it is.
If you don’t have time to do ST then it’s a moot point. I wonder if the 5.7 BB mods will get them into OP territory. We will see but the sigma change was huge, their AA is huge and they got the speed buff so now the IJN really seems weak. Maybe it’s fair due to the USN cruisers being so week in game.
so what’s actually required of being a supertester and also who do one get it? you sign an NDA but since you’re not paid you don’t have to partake if you don’t want/can’t, right? The worst is that you’re pretty MIA and they say sorry we’re booting you off, which is no loss for you. What’s the downside of signing up, really?
I enjoy your vids and have learned a lot at the feet of the master …. so for what it’s worth, my vote is don’t take the tester job if it means you can’t make these vids anymore. thanks for your postings
Business, while I understand your apprehension and hesitation on becoming a Super Tester, I believe that is a position that you can best serve in to help with the game. While you have a NDA in place and cannot talk about what you’re doing with new stuff, it doesn’t preclude you from doing what you are doing right now, unless they specifically say you cannot. So, if they do not, accept the position and put your wisdom, knowledge, and skill to work for the game and the players.
The best way to get around an NDA is go to a coffee shop with a computer and anonymously upload everything to a third party site. The reason why is WG is hugely Russian bias and we know that they hate the American tech tree.
I’ve thought about it since you’ve told us the other day on stream, but I don’t think the supertester role would be best. If my feet were in your shoes, you wouldn’t be able to stream, record, and publish as much as you do. Personally I think the ships are fine as they are released, the majority that is. If you aren’t required though to participate in the tests, I do think having it on your name is nice, that way you have some serious proof to back what you’re saying (although not all STs are the best that is).
Up to you but ultimately I’d think you’d be crushed for time trying to stream.
Not knowing what all is involved in being a Supertester, it seems like it would be quite an opportunity to influence the game. I think what you are doing now also has an influence on the game. The difference to me is as a Supertester you would have more of an impact on the development side. With your current projects you impact the Wow community. It depends what you would enjoy more. Perhaps you could communicate with other Supertesters to see what they think are the perks and pitfalls. Maybe you did this already. Whatever your decision it’s quite an honor and congratulations!
That ram stuff, you had another one like this before I remember. And recently I am finding a lot more targets like you had here. Stationary Iowa and Amagis. I wonder how these people managed to get that far.
Top vid as per normal. Pity about the super tester not fitting in. But thats why i follow you, if you cant do something up to your standard you dont do it. How many others would have grabbed at the “look at me im a supertester” badge and let the quality of the content slide? Good on ya bud.
Damage saturation is one of the many failed components in the damage mechanics of the game unfortunately. I wish WG would have implemented a more realistic damage model from the beginning, but it is what it is.

That NC game and cits galore. Amazing!
Well done!
(Alexf24 in game)
I’m thinking of setting up a hotline for people that suffer from BCS (being
cit syndrome), thank you for all of the potential customers!!!
I LOVE my Yorck and, u have brutal games man, congrats!

Whats the differens between ST and Contributer? They all get to preview new
ships and such yes?

Thanks for playing your “not so glorious” moments. I don’t blame you for
forgoing super tester. I would miss these videos and your twitch stream.
Hey, Business.
Are you going to review the ships of the Russian cruiser tech tree?
Nice Work Biz. Keep it up!
It would be nice if you could leave some live stream on Twitch to watch
even if youre not online, I like to watch streams at night and im usually
browsing some famous names to see something but theres no video on your

I’ll think you should talk to !ChaseGaming He is a ST and youtuber &
streamer, and can give som advices

idk why i still seeing lots of destroyer rushing the middle in the early
game. in worst case scenario even a division of two or three dd do it.

great yorck gameplay there! its still hard for me to find my way how to
play the german Ships 🙁 the german Ships are so sexy ;)
what do youvthink of the Yorck for ranked. with the plethora of DDs
cruisers are needed on the teams.
I have the Myoko but it just doesn’t work well for me. The Yorck feels
better but with significant less health and the need for cruisers to hunt

tough time surviving as it is.
its probably not worth it for youtubers to be supper testers, they have to
be so careful with what they say and do.
A new Biz episode! sweetness! Haha

maybe stalin called order No. 227 on that ognevoi

56k quad citadel. By far the greatest shot I’ve seen.
Really inspiring watching how you play the NC. It’s a much better ship now
with the patch and my current fav. Thanks for the vids and streams!
Aaaand followed on Twitch. Really needed someone playing WoWs in my
streamer list :)
