I play it for the reasons mentioned here basically: along with having a low ceiling for communicating with likeminded gamers in chat. I also like to get stuff, but grind is not within my main interest. I actually tend to dislike it and see it more as a chore for what I do like to do: Try out new ships. And if I like them, I'll often give thjem a permacamo and a dedicated captain I like to see my ships as a stash of options, using whatever I like to do at any specific moment and depending on what's available. I wanna play a tier 9? I'll get one of my tier 9 ships Someone invites me for narai? Well today I feel like Scharnhorst! And maybe tomorrow I feel more like playing sneaky DD It's a shame there's so few operations to play atm. I'd love to grind more FXP and ECXP as this self-enforced grind is actually something I do enjoy

This has been requested for a long time. I vote in favor of unique German captain and double flags on my German ships!

Playing the Savage Battles I ran into a WG-EU div, including @Crysantos, @Tuccy and @Ev1n. Sorry that I had to sink 2 of you guys (), but at least I managed to end your seabed solitude by adding 3 more artificial reefs and win the game It took me some time to look it up on the stream. Link is here And also hi to @Kiha So far I'm liking these savage battles a lot!

Personally I don't mind the "what iffs" much (if at all). But I came to WoWS to play a game about sailing metal boats with metal guns (and maybe the occasional aircraft carrier...or sub). If I want to play an MMORPG, I already got those needs covered

And don't forget about the time this will drain. And some consumables are really not needed in the premium variant (like some ships's spotter planes) or when spamming coop.

One thing that would keep players like me interested is by adding in more operations. But instead the amount of those got cut in half because of this rework and the old ones are getting old even for me (even though I still kinda enjoy them. Yes I played them hundreds of times over and over again). But not something like this. And frankly, I think the consumable change was made solely to offset the extra credit cost for newer players. At least this was the impression I got from watching Flambass's youtube video about this. This naval training center change, it's a really bad idea. People in my clan were either uninterested and didn't respond yet or they were negative about this change. Not one was neutral or positive about this change. I feel more alienated from the game I fell in love with and it's because of changes like this one.

Sounds great. I mean, the whole reason to play a game about old warships is for all the special events, obviously.

No, totally no reason for this. Why u ask?

I'm still waiting for the Secondary Battery Reload Booster

Thinking about this some more, I'd prefer to have a side-grade, like for instance being able to grind a tech tree sister ship (for instance, grind 100k XP on Kongo and unlock Haruna, also a tech tree ship and identical to Kongo). Make this change only available if a player has the tier 10 ship in the line unlocked (and maybe bought). This way there's something else to grind in the lower tiers without it breaking balance. because this change will make WoWS hell to balance! Trust me on this. The more global variables one creates as a game creator, the harder it will become to keeping everything reasonably balanced and the more gamebreaking unexpected side-effects one will get found. It's a really bad idea from a balancing viewpoint. It would be better to gift stuff that doesn't affect balance, like maybe alt camo schemes or something. But not this. I don't care much for the making free of premium consumables, but will probably sell all my stock before this change makes it to live.

Personally I very much liked the idea of regrinding clone-like lines of existing ships, filled up with (mostly) sister ships. But this seems like a bad idea to me, it's basically making a tech tree ship into a sort of premium-tech tree ship. I'm not liking this much and it will widen the gap between players playing the same ships (especially vets vs newbs). I do kinda like the option to regrind a line in a way, but that's what reroll accounts are for? I have no issues with some game mechanic which includes resetting of a tech tree line for some kind of resource, but making certain ships plain stronger (including certain premium ships that are already very strong), it's just a bad idea.

So no more greenhouse summers? Ow darn it!!!11

That's because DD is already an OP class, second only to carriers (pre-8.5 that is ). I love my Jutland and will get the hang of my own Fletcher soon enough!

Nope. All seemed as it should be when I finally got to take out my Mogami again. Now that the amount of carriers seem to be at an acceptable level, playing Mogami in the now almost obligatory tier 10 battles feel like a breath of fresh air to me and I need not worry about all the mosquitos sucking me dry

There's still not a FXP freemium DD though.

Stop pointing your pointy thing at me, Achilles

Unlocked the final tier 3 savage destroyer today, got all 9 now

My most played ship? Still Missouri. I hate the ship

Disregarding the relative weakening of the Ovenchicken SE skill, the issue I see here is that it kinda tries to buff plane HP by increasing all captains with the same amount of HP buff (to any here, the ship HP perk was not changes so it only affects CVs)...but this is irrelevenant when this skill is not selected by the CV captain. So this change has made this skill more obligatory. Now personally I think we really needed to see fewer carriers in randoms as the only positive thing the carrier overpopulation brought was to be the virtually only cork preventing a DD overpopulation from continuing to pose a problem. But anyway...what should WG have done to Ovenchicken according to you all?

Even basic stuff like the laggy ui was ignored for a long while. And I don't understand why they didn't take something like this serious enough. When me and a coupel others mentioned this somewhere last year, it was simply not high enough on WG priority list and nothing happened for precious months. And it's not only this. WG ignoring important stuff and bugs for months or longer is becoming a meme in itself and that's a shame as I still like this game. Kinda. Sure, I need to create a batch file as it seems the only semi-reliable way to prevent WG from deleting my replays all the time and random stuff seems to keep breaking like ramming mechanics now. I mean what?

This has been suggested numerous times already, with well...limited impact :| So I suggest to try something else: To punish destroyers for trying to not play the objective and reward doing damage less! This problem, which has existed for a longer while now, is caused by the babysitting of yoloing crybabies who demanded removal of DD citadel, fire duration nerf for all classes except BB (so including DD) and BB AP pen, and radar. And spotter plane not spotting torps anymore... and conceilment nerf for all classes except for DD of course........... radar rework, the list is endless And what do we see today? DD infested randoms which necessitated a soft cap limit on DDs at 4 max. So the only solution would be to start punishing bad DD behavior as rewarding good behavior is clearly not working and hasn't worked for multiple years now , right? I play DD and DD is the most OP class in the game (well ok, maybe excluding CV but CV seems more often a curse these days). And people are calling ME a BB main! Can you believe that?

Battles like these are kinda common, though be it that there's usually 2 tier 8 and maybe 2 or 3 tier 9 ships on each side (the tier 8 being the almost obligatory cruiser). But yes, MM for tier 8 ships is kinda horrible and you'll be roleplaying as a shrimp in shark-infested seas most of the time. Good luck soldier!
