The new "filter" options are garbage - as you come to expect from WG.

[havaduck]

Congratulations of screwing that one up.

 

If just dont want to see those horrible shitty camos, it automatically demounts them from your ships. Like damn, why didnt I get that idea?!  Just demounting? Thats borderline black magic!

 

 

So previously you needed to use mods to not see them, but get the bonuses. And now? You gotta use mods. Big, big improvement. Like literally if you had sent your guys over to scratch my [edited]when itchy, they would have had served a better purpose.

 

 

I know those UI guys have a lot of free time, as evidenced by the horrible division window no one asked for.  Maybe send them back 3-4 years in time to fix that horrible shitty carrier UI? To, you know, show where planes actually are so you can strafe accordingly instead of this vague "estimation" that come down to "somewhere on the map, enjoy strafing thin air"

 

 

€: I actually also played a game to confirm and I really thought to myself: "NO, they cant be THAT stupid".  ............. Silly me, underestimating WG after all those years like that.

The "switch" was intended for those who don't want to see "the content". The obvious reasoning is that people want to have bonuses which they earned/received and that "the switch" was implemented to replace the mods - because this is evidently wanted functionality. Simple uninstalling was "implemented" before, so the current "upgrade" improves nothing.

I think you are wrong there. Lets look at it from the other side: Where is the logic in the current implementation then? btw I noticed the same and was like:

New filter options?

You mean them just putting the old filters in sub-categories.

 

There's nothing else changed about them. What made you think that there was?

[RUSSIANBlAS]

Whilst OP is salty (not uncommon for a silly ship game player) their point is entirely valid as I was surprised to see loads of my camo de equip with one click. 

 

It's not like I added them by accident and now I need to re add all manually

But they always did that. It's not some new feature they added in this patch.

Lol... Now that's confused me even more. 

 

Ah well 

 

They shouldn't have mentioned the different tabs, I wouldn't have gone for a look then!!

They did go and reset all the filters, so they kind of had to mention that.

Wouldn't want someone to accidentally see some neon lights on a ship, they might have had a heart attack.

It’s a policy. I remember from a Q&A that sub_octavian basically said: “well, if you want to enjoy the bonuses, you have to look at them well, be damned your immersion”.  

  

Which IMHO is not the right way. The game nowadays barely caters the fans of historical stuff, having an option to see the game in a more historical way without screwing one over in terms of economic benefits should already have been

implemented for years now. All those “reskins” (because they’re not camo’s with such drastically altered models), and those silly camo’s like valentines, la phadragh, American star/flag,... should be retextured to plain grey. If I wanted to see a warship in silly colours, I’d print out a plan and give it to my godchild together with some pencil crayons and tell her to entertain herself an afternoon.

Can I have the option to remove certain ships from port view as we had it in the past. Having so many ARP ships in port is way too much.

UI losing options instead of gaining them...

I want an option to remove ALL camos (except premium ones), this circus with rainbow ships is getting out of hand..

That is the point! Before the patch we had an option to hide the anime content, now we can only hide the anime camos which leave all the useless ships in the carousel.. I hope it is a bug guys and they will fix it soon @MrConway

They should take a leaf from WoT books.

 

There you have "historical" camo patterns. Ok they're not always historical, but are at least vaguely realistic.

You also have the option to paint your tank bright pink with polka dots and a bright yellow turret.

 

Then everyone has a tick box in options marked "show historical only" which means your client replaces all the god awful ones with the default camo.

 

 

Lots of the "special" camo for wows is very useful for grinding - bonus xp, extra credits etc. However it's horrible, and battles now consist of bright yellow ship (school bus) + puke green (irish) + bright purple (twitch) vs massive eagles + Chinese lanterns.

 

Part of what actually makes tier X slightly better is that most of the camo on tier X is the perma camo which looks vaguely alright. Although with the introduction of the shark/eagle worc and the 'murica DM/Salem this is being eroded  

[Nordavindr]

"hide camo" should not equal to "demount camo".

It's obviously confusing. 

Actually I was wondering for a second or two if apart from disappearing of the camo from the list of camos and from the ship itself are the bonuses still there? but no, if you "hide" camo, you remove bonuses. 

UAT failed.

This is redundant since you can now sell them.

selling is not good alternative for hiding for obvious reasons. You dont sell your winter cloth on spring, do you?

And what if I still want to keep them? 

[FIow3rPow3r]

Noticed that @Nechrom, that means I am forced to sell these ships if I don t want to see them. The option to hide the content was just removed from the patch with no reasonable reason giving us an option which demount the camos instead "hiding the content". That really freak me out!

So you want to keep them but not see them? Use them? Sense, try making some.

Seems like a good solution, you sell some ships you dont want for silver-slots-not seeing them in port.

 

Its nice to see you guys trying to have a cake, and eat it too.

 

[BruceRKF]

What I don't like about the new filter system is that - as far as I'm aware - you can't deactivate e.g. the Arctic camos for DoY and Scharnhorst seperately from the Bismarck/Hood camos any longer. It's nothing big, but still a little bit disappointing (and immersion-breaking, as far as immersion is even a thing).

They are unique content and are valuable in collecting terms plus they are also semi-premium ships. The cases in which I would use them are pretty rare, so I do want to keep the option we had to exclude them from my overpopulated port. It is not about port slots as I buy them - currently 54 full of 56 total. 

 

Does this makes sense to you? 

[Karasu_Browarszky]

Okay, I'm confused now. The filter removes the ARP skins and those ships can't be equipped with regular camos. So the options are to see the pink etc ships if you want to have the camo stats, or do without camo bonuses entirely...?
