4 years later, I am back.... and I am regreting.
Panocek replied to SENAdmiral's topic in General Discussion
welcome back? I guess? -
Tier 3 to 5 and then tier 8 does fit that. Tier 6-7 have rough time due to concealment gap when facing tier 8s.

Also AL dropped announcement of Emden of all ships. You know, ww1 era one Two chars for price of one entire gallery of upcoming stuff, revolving around Kaiserliche Marine -
In Soviet Russia, business does you. And probably unlike your business, WoWs is effectively one of a kind game with no serious competition on "arcade naval games", therefore WG can pull off whatever they want and it would be difficult for them to completely kill the game. Implemented YEARS ago - up to 5 BBs, up to 5 DDs and Subs, up to 2 CV, exception being 1x CV for tier 10. If there are more ships in queue still, matchmaking can in emergency lift such soft limits to push longest waiting players from the queue. Or form "wacky" games like 4v5 when timer runs out for some insomniacs at 4am sunday or somesuch.

If you're asking for limited torpedo armament, it means you're also fine with single torpedo sinking you when one finds its mark?

Separation of economic bonuses from camos and signals
Panocek replied to Jethro_Grey's topic in General Discussion
Yes and no. More accurate guns also means bigger change to put entire salvo into the water when aim is off or target JustDodgesTM. Especially once "news of accuracy buff" gets out to the random folk, They will snipe harder, after all "guns got more accurate so why get closer" Keep in mind in "World of Tanks" model turning point where average baddies can't sustain themselves is tier 8 without premium account. On T10, you need to have actually good game to not-bleed-credits-like-a-stuck-pig. -

As enjoyer of her explosive potatoes from day one, I can't relate with this problem Mudrock and Reed skins looks nice, though repeat of black and white pallette on Mudrock slightly disappoints? At least animated preview for these is top/kek -

Ships that you like/are strong, but you just cannot make work

I don't think WoWs is the case where stacking two negatives ends up with positive Somehow mine actually provides results, despite being clearly inferior to Alaska. Siegfried on other hand... -
But will the "companion bots" come with animated avatar and sensible ai to chat with? Otherwise this

Maybe you're no longer target customer in the eyes of Wargaming? Alternatively you're too stubborn to quit the game playing less optimal classes

Panocek replied to tadaMonika's topic in General Discussion
Amusingly, I find Alaska guns to be fine accuracy wise, with improved ricochet angles saving a lot of AP usefulness compared to Agir As for cursed ships of mine... Shimakaze. I had absolute blast when playing gunboat Yugumo, but same spec/playstyle on Shimakaze produces opposite results -

Looking at two other "WoT-esque" games that feature "test drive", that being War Thunder and Almost Working Armored Warfare, test drive lets you to move around and shoot some inactive targets, but doesn't tell you about survivability under fire. Both games also showcase tech tree vehicles in stock condition, without researched upgrades, which is particularly relevant in these games as there can be MASSIVE power spike the moment you obtain particular ammo/armor/mobility upgrade. Think of "test driving Yamato" but without AP rounds- 45 replies

Well, if ColonelSpreadsheet wants "endgame only for vets", then mayhaps Armored Warfare? Where you need to grind 1.6m exp to progress from tier 9 to 10, then you need about 2m exp to max out your tier 10 With similar economy as WoT have, mind you But then, he'd complain about no repair/ammo costs there (in main game mode, PvE that is) so damned if you do, damned if you don't
-
Average randoms are/were the same in both games. And Tier 8 technically also falls under "hightier", as tier 10 can and will met these, so you're not getting away from your daily dose of noobs Then there's question whether "old WoWs was better" due to you being sentimental or back then there were relatively more naval enthusiasts instead "I have no idea what I'm doing but it makes boomy noises so its gud" kind of people. Certainly I don't have "fond memories" of "old WoWs being better". As in, game itself, before Lesta went full crayon on "early access", tier 9+ premiums, CV/captain/subs was better, but playerbase? Not so sure. Alternatively I wasn't experienced back then to immediately identify morons in the game.
-
Thats why "tier 12" probably will start featuring guided missiles. You can inflate Yamato design only so much before it becomes a meme. Or 5th turret Des Moines for that matter Back when I was playing WoT, that game had no "economically easy mode" on hightiers and it took actual effort to not bleed credits when playing tier 9-10. Did that stop all kind of speshul people from playing these tiers? No. It just made them play more [insert tier 8 premium] to make up the credits. If anything, with clear connection of post battle maintenance costs with damage taken and ammo cost being major factor of post battle bill, it encouraged randoms to be even more passive than you have in WoWs. And unlike WoWs, your average tonk can't lob shells over hills, so mispositioned tank is going to be even more useless than 20km camping BB that is actually trying to shoot someone. Thus "just increasing maintenance costs" on tier 9 and 10 ships combined with nerf/removal of economic bonuses of permacamos would merely move noobs from Hindenburgs to Agirs, from Preussens back to GK.
-
But direct nerfs to the economy would be met with (probably very) negative response, while IIRC from the announcement, tier 9 and 10 become actually bit cheaper to maintain? As main goals of that seem to be reducing effect of stacking exp/credit modifiers based on what you have, existing and new "perma camo" users also won't be affected by the looks of it.
-
Yes, but WG didn't "nerfed tier 9 and 10 directly". Just like Smolensk, technically, wasn't directly nerfed during Captain REEEwork Whether skills responsible for range and reload are gone... those were optional, you didn't had to pick them
-
Annapolis and upcoming Patrie be like: Still, you're not going to stop first strike, just like DD can't stop your gimmick radar and/or autoloader so deal with it. Every change that directly affects players negatively isn't going to be popular. But "adding" new layer of the game with the same effect... "wdym we nerfed tier 9 and 10, all we did is addition of tier 11 to the game". Achievement of playing one and staying afloat credit wise? Its... inconsistent. I can sell Georgia, Alaska B, Jean Bart B, Groningen, Agir, but I can't sell Yoshino, Missouri, Khaba, Moskva, Stalingrad, Smolensk and Siegfried. So... tier 10, RB ships and Missouri are unsellable, but other tier 9 Freemiums can be sold?

Can You Devs Give Pommern Pref MM Please FFS?
Panocek replied to Sir_Sinksalot's topic in General Discussion
Unique Upgrades are RB only. Besides, if OP had issues with supershits outclapping his own boat, odds are, he would prefer to avoid tier 9+ game for time being. While legendary captains, particularly Kuznetsov is significant force multiplier, getting one without flotilla of premium ships, thus bound to one-two ships will get old fast. Same with Aigle - she's fine boat by tier 6 standards, but I have grounds to believe playing "just for fun", without any goals to achieve will quickly get dull. At the same time, "I want these tier 10s" is facing an obstacle in shape of supershits -
Keep in mind individual ship sections are rather... forgotten thus most people preside in General Discussion

Can You Devs Give Pommern Pref MM Please FFS?
Panocek replied to Sir_Sinksalot's topic in General Discussion
If these haven't happened already, then its VERY unlikely won't happen now. Both because when new "freemium" ship is hinted/announced, its automatically expected to be tier 9-10, AND to act as filler for supershit battles. Tier 7 and below coal ships are just old, outdated premiums WG have no faith anyone sane would buy them with money or even leftover doubloons. https://blog.worldofwarships.com/blog/318 given we're yet to see "rework" that doesn't actively shaft players, investing any resources into camouflages or signals now seems to be about as "useful" as you buying that Pommern back in the day. So, yeah. If you want to avoid supershits, you're not interested in some midtier boomerwagons or expendable camouflages, coal is kinda useless currency. -
Separating economic bonuses from visual customizations (DB 318)
Panocek replied to YabbaCoe's topic in Development Blog
Same goes with permacamos arriving with premium/freemium ship, as, technically, they weren't purchased -
That requires having sensible foundation of account system... something that wasn't considered 12 years ago when WoT was in the making. Bonus points for "you want to play elsewhere? make new account and buy your stuff once more"
