While I play to win and try to give my best in every aspect of life, my goal with this channel is to build a community focused on helping new and casual players in a supportive and fun environment rather than being hyper-competitive.
I am not the sweatiest player or best PVP'er you'll watch, full stop, and I am too damn old for amusing rage in general chat or comms. But while I may know the detailed stats of every item or how to pull off every combo in the games I play, I always try to learn and progress and do my best to have fun win or lose. If I can help you enjoy the titles I play by passing on some tricks of the trade or sharing some enlightening banter, that's the reason why I do this!

"Wallflowers" "Garbage time" "Inflate numbers" I love your terminology man. So true!
Thanks for the share!
Need a video on how to dive bombers and attack planes, please.
very nice sir. thank you.
you sir, are thee best at wows legends schooling. This is Ivy league. Thank you
Wth is CV.
US Navy designation for an aircraft carrier.
In other words just lead target and predict
Yes, but there is a method to the madness if you choose to use it. It does become second nature after a while.
How do I use the general repair consumable? It just shows left on the d pad on the controller but it won’t do anything with I click it in battle… What am I doing wrong?
That’s all you should have to do. You might want to double check your controller settings menu and make sure they didn’t get switched by accident? Also, you won’t be able to activate the repair party unless your ship has taken damage. Hope you can find the fix!
I love Siegfried. Most unique cruiser at the tier.
Can have some awesome games in that boat when the conditions are right! Thanks for watching!
The first aiming video I have found (among AA Ron, TBull, Let um peek etc) that actually explains the cross hair scale and how to use it. Kudos!
Thanks for that! It’s not explained explicitly in Legends, but the scale mimics the dynamic crosshair setting in the PC version. Using the tick marks and shell flight counter really can make a difference! Be warned that some might call you a hacker, though! 🤣
Yo bud, you should check out the new expansion, it’s pretty dope. You actually got me hooked into New World. I weaned off it a few months ago, but came back for the expansion. Queues have been 4k+ on my server and my company had all pretty much stopped playing, so I decided to switch servers since family life waits for no man… but too much content to pass up. Hope you’re well!
Hey, man! I went back on a while ago and bought the expansion and liked what I saw, for sure. I know numbers have contracted a bit again, but such is life with New World! Hope you and the family are doing well! I have had my first major health challenge that I have been dealing with since October, which has kept me from getting back into streaming.
Little did he know while making this clip they where adding a tier 8 which the Minnesota sits and T7's no longer face legend ships so guess your clip was premature, I used to run NC with full concealment and even though its not as good as pc its still very very worth going concealment and your build is not great just saying
Hello! I don't think I made any videos after the introduction of Tier 8, so that is what my comment was related to. Thanks for watching!
thank you 🥺
Thanks for this video! I'm level 60, gear score 625 and had to max my constitution to finally get to the last fast travel shrine. I died spectacularly a few times and the routes on this video were of great help.
Glad that worked for you! It's a bummer to not be able to run Tempest, so glad you made it!
Thankyou
How to make your playerbase quit the game 101
Hey vannkraken great video. i wanted to ask if you have any tips for us playing on our PC's?? I'm getting better at getting broadside or straight on hits but struggling if my opponent is angled I'm also really struggling to get hits that deal significant damage? any tips for this As i'm on a keyboard i don't think there's the target lock option you get on the xbox- or is there? another question i have is how do you lead the target to get the shells to fall and hit a citidel for example how do you lead the target to hit the right spot. i'm using the amagi which should be a powerful ship but getting poor results? any help greatly appreciated thanks
The techniques in these three videos mirror using the “dynamic” crosshair settings on PC when it comes to leading targets, etc. The specific one I use on PC is “nomogram classic” which can be applied to your client with the World of Warships Mod Station provided by Wargaming. There are also some other crosshair options in Mod Station with an array of lines at various angles that can help with hitting angled targets, too!
how do you target lock if you're playing on a pc?
Hi! You can mouse over a target and use the “X” key to lock your main battery guns on the target of your choice. Mousing over a target and using “CNTRL - Left Click” will manually lock your secondaries. Hope that helps!
@@VannKrakenGaming thanks buddy. i didn't know this. I'll give it a try. any other pointers for us paying on PC??
@@markdonnelly1397 I’ve been playing a lot more PC than Legends of late. If you are pretty new, I’d just work on trying out different lines to get a sense of what kind of ships you like to play. USN Battleships, German Cruisers, and IJN/USN Destroyers are some popular lines for newer players. Don’t try to play a lot of games above T6/T7 until you have a good handle on the overall game. It make take 1,000 to 2,000 games to feel really comfortable at all. Lastly, if you spend real $, premium time is your best bet and is always half off for a full year around Black Friday. I stuck to buying only one or two premium ships early on in T5-T7. Good luck!
Great video! Well laid out!!
Thank you - much appreciated!
I really enjoyed watching your video. Well explained. Keep up the good work.
Did you ever do a Top 10 tips for dive bombers?
No, to be honest I have not covered that. I still have multiple surface ship topics that I haven’t gotten around to, as well. Thanks for watching!
Really nice explanation, thanks! :)
Thanks for watching and I'm happy you found it helpful! Enjoy the expertise grind if you can - there are lots of ways to move through it.
thanks for help !!!
Thanks for watching! Have fun in the Tempest's Heart!
Made it with your help
Awesome! It's hectic solo (especially newer 60's), but definitely doable. Glad you made it and thanks for the note!
man the info graphics, editing, and the whole production of these vids is top notch, a pleasure to watch
Thanks so much for the feedback and hope you found it helpful!
This game is a joke and is rigged, And it should be boycotted.
Interesting take! What is it that you are referring to? Gameplay, matchmaking, cash shop containers, etc?
First WoWs PC in over a year! We are trying to start some of the recently added ship lines that are new since our long break. Some choppy waters and some choppy video in patches. Thanks for watching!
Hey folks - just wanted to share my favorite gathering run in all of New World with you! I've done this Restless Shore to Mournindale loop countless times in my quest to get my main character to Skills Grandmaster level and with my follow up ones, as well. It's a quick and easy way to gather valuable resources to sell for gold or so much more if you are into building up your Arcana and/or Armoring crafting professions. Let me know if you have any thoughts or questions in the comments below!
Missed it last night so watching it now after the football
Not going to blame it all on my teams (with a few notable exceptions), but it was another pretty rough go from a win/loss perspective! Karma is paying me back for the really good run I had right when I came back! Hope you have a nice weekend!
It's definitely the team mates I don't know how it's got so bad the past week or two like that Fletcher running from their dd when he 2 bbs for support. I put it on the other night first game people abandoned their side and all bunched in middle of the map in spawn, second game on Atlantic our dds one spawned at c other at mid both sailed right along the spawn upto the edge of the map went around the big Island into those channel areas on to the enemy's side sailed straight at an Alaska got radared and sunk I just finished that game turned it off and put football manager back on for my FA cup third round tie Vs Middlesbrough with my local non team Chorley in division 6 trying to win that would be less painful then putting up with the morons on ships atm lol
@@mattsmith5421 Dude - that Fletcher game almost made me quit on the spot! Can't remember something like that happening in a Tier 8 game for a long time. One long standing issue I have with Legends is pushing people to higher tier ships before they are ready by compressing the Tiers, the Bureau, etc. Ugh!
@@VannKrakenGaming those people just lose their way to top tier so it will happen no matter what, my problem is the people themselves I can't understand how people get to tier 7 and 8 and haven't learned a thing or even developed the slightest bit of sense of how to play a ship type in the months it's taken to get there.
@@mattsmith5421 I think part of that is losing there way up the tech tree to a degree, as you said, but they can also get there faster in Legends than on PC. It's not ever going to change, really, but it is definitely frustrating at times.
doing world tours is really fun
I actually enjoy them myself and have met some good folks who join the daily runs. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this. Haven't reached it yet but will be my goal tonight!
Awesome - I really hope this helps! For my setup, which is medium armor and no life staff, using the dodge keys around the Priest and Bear (which give s - or brief invulnerability) and using all three health consumables are what make it work for me. Good luck!
Not gonna lie, this was a painful run of games from a Win/Loss perspective, but we were able to contribute to the fight pretty much across the board. Playing Hipper and Richi will get better and better as they receive their upgrades, too! If you are running a DD, don't go to the same cap as the only other DD on your team and try to stay alive for a bit, please!
I just hit 60 yesterday for the first time and found this really helpful. Thank you for taking the time and effort to make it
Glad you found it helpful! I did a lot of chest runs to build up my expertise/gear score, crafting mats, and gold balance on my first character. It made doing expeditions, wars, and OPR more fun versus just jumping straight into them with a low 500 rating. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment - I really appreciate it!
First Legends stream in 13 months! Thanks to the familiar faces that stopped by - so nice to see you all again! We didn't dominate in this set, but we did our part and went 9-2 in a variety of ships from Level 4 to 7. Thanks for watching!
It's hard
I feel you! If you can time the dodges and when to use your consumables in the tough alley with the Priest and the Bear you will make it! Also, you can bring along a life staff to drop some heals on yourself, too. You can also join a chest run to Myrk and one of the Corrupted Breaches is right next to the "Pilgrim's Ascent" path I show in my route - you should be able to go up the path to the fast travel and the Tempest Heart's expedition while folks are taking out the Corrupted.
@@VannKrakenGaming i try global chat & no response. Maybe i play in fresh server, & many players skip the tempest. In here players fun play in dungeon lazarus, genesis, dynasty
@@ghessa_liem6523 Tempest's Heart is the least run dungeon because it takes longer to play. Laz and Gen especially are run a lot because they are relatively quick and a good way to build Expertise. I think the design of Tempest and feel of it are fantastic, though, so keep trying to get a group together. It's worth it!
this is a great guide, thank you .... ✌🏾
Glad to hear you found it useful and appreciate the kind feedback. Hope you have a great holiday!
I need to get on one of these. Honestly I just play solo and had no idea what ECR/WT meant when reading the chat. I haven’t played Legends once since I took your advice and picked this game up for $20. Ridiculous amount of bang for your buck compared to Legends.
Lots of benefits from these runs, especially if you play solo! When the game went through its lull earlier this year my first company disbanded and the server population was pretty low, so I did ECR's regularly and took my character from a low 500 gear score to over 600 in about three weeks. When that was done, I started doing broader content like expeditions, OPR, some Wars, etc. I also had a ton of craft mats banked, so I was able to get to 200 in Engineering and Armoring quite easily. I'm really glad you have been enjoying New World! I think it's great and completely agree that it is well worth the money. It seems like AGS is truly committed to improving the game and releasing a consistent stream of new content, so I think the future looks bright! Hope you have a great holiday!
It didn't start out that way, but we wound up making a comprehensive guide to running Elite Chest Runs, or World Tours. This is the first complete run we did with our fresh Level 60 character and it's hard to pass up the amount of resources, gear and expertise progression we can reap from this activity! Let us know in the comments below if you like or loathe ECR's! They can be repetitive and completely disorganized at times for sure, but overall they can really help your character grow - especially as a solo player.
It really isn't an exaggeration to say that running through Myrkgard to unlock the Tempest's Heart Expedition and Cathedral fast travel shrine is one of the toughest PVE tasks in New World. It's especially difficult because the Main Story Quest line asks it of either slightly below, or Fresh Level 60 players, who are way under-geared for solo work in Myrk! You can follow our path in the video to complete this challenge - just don't give up too easily if it takes more than a couple tries to get through the busy intersection with the priest, the bear and the commander. Use your consumables and WASD + Space keys wisely and you can make it! And don't forget to let us know about your successes or any questions in the comments below...
For tip 10 sometimes its worth returning to the carrier if your taking high damage for your squadron instead of re attacking but good tips thank you :)
Definitely some variations that apply - thanks for watching and glad it was helpful!
This video is EXACTLY what I needed. Just hit 60 and have kind of just been getting my crafting up and doing side missions. You the man Vann!
Glad to hear that you made it to 60 and thanks for the kind words! There are a lot more things that open up in the game at endgame, but it definitely makes sense to knock out a few things first to get off on the right foot. I may be a bit sick in that I really don't mind the grind from 500 to 625 - maybe it's just getting the constant notifications of progress on Expertise that keeps it interesting for me. Hope you enjoy it, as well!
