Did you come here from WoT

[Conte_Vincero]

Just a quick survey, mainly because I'm curious to see how many people started playing this as a result of enjoying WoT, and how many just like ships!

[czaki222]

I started playing this because of Battlestations which I played years ago.

 

Only recently, like a couple days ago I reinstalled WoT (played during the open beta) to see how it changed and it's completely different from then o_O. Very overwhelming at first. 

[Exodude]

Another poll!

Started playing WoWs pretty much because I'm tired of the angry/toxic people in WoT and I'm even using chat here and enjoying it. Had some good laughs with people, and if someone rages he's pretty much extinguished by everyone on chat and probably exits or keeps shut because that person goes silent quite fast. This is how I wish WoT would be, community wise and chat-wise.

 

So in essence, so far the experience is an enjoyable one and while I love tanks I also love ships just as much so if I would choose at the moment it would've been WoWs if we're strictly speaking games. I miss my clan-mates from WoT when I am here, and looking forward to the cross-games chat when it is implemented.

Actually I found WoT looking for a naval game, my real interest.

 

The name of WoWs came out when it was a just a project and then discovered that they had a tank game already running. WoT was fine for some time, but it went from bad to worse for me since 9.0, and stopped playing as soon as I had access to the WoWS Beta weekend test in January. Haven't run WoT again since then.

i started playing WOWs because i want to stop playing WOT.... it is those days not enjoyable for me anymore  

[MaxxyNL]

Still playing World of Tanks, but fun in playing World of Tanks is long gone...

Did play World of Warplanes for a while.

 

Beta Testing World of Tanks Generals.

Beta Testing World of Warships.

I stopped playing WOT because of piteous level of the game/players after 3 years , I will stop playing WOWs after the beta because the same reason : to many WOT players , the level decrease , the pleasure too

I find it always strange to see, for example, people with 40k+ battles do more stupid things then rather new players with 1k+ battles.

 

Also the hate from some, not all, "good" players towards players with lower stats....... i hate that.

We all play the same game, almost all for the same reasons, why does it always have to end in swearing/flaming/hating and more...?

 

I hope that World of Warships not ends up with the same problems....

 

 

PS: online gaming, you love it or you hate it......

result of enjoying WoT

I guess most ppl would not be here if they enjoy WoT (or WoWp for that matter).

[Tugnut]

loved WoT for a long time but got to the point that its getting long in the tooth... will still play wot but on a very much less scale...  WoWP sorry for the few that enjoy it but for me its sh....ocking bad. And loving WoWS at the moment and can not wait for it to go live

I think that is 100% true indeed.

I agree (a bit) but I've even managed to find toxic players beta testing a game which has been in closed beta (properly) for around 5 weeks, after less than 40 games  myself. You can take the user out of the game but not the attitude sadly..

More or less the same here

[Hedgehog1963]

30,000+ battles in WoT since April 2011.  Big fan of the game, though not a great player by any means.  Ihave nearly jacked it in a couple of times due to my favourite tanks being removed or nerfed into mediocrity (I'm talking T-50-2 and T-50 respectively).  I buy my premium account a year at a time and I have every premium tank that money can or could buy. I'm in a clan and use TS and so on.

 

WoWS will never replace WoT for me but I do see me spending the equivalent of an evening a week playing this - once the Royal Navy is introduced.

 

 

However my approach to this game is not the same as WoT. The absence British tanks were not a deal breaker for me because I understand that the Red Army was the force which carried the war effort.  I have iconic WWII tanks like the T-34 and T-34-85 in my garage as homage.  The absence of the Royal Navy in this game is a deal breaker since it was far more important that the Red Navy.

 

I think not only is the question relevant, it is essential information for WG, although they can obviously see how many of us came from WoT because we login with our semi unified accounts. 

 

I have never played WoWP becuase reviews  of it are dreadful.  I have a War Thunder account and play the equivalent of a evening a month on that (usually I'll go in twice a week and play it until I get a win with the RAF).  I do not run premium  although I have bought some bundled planes.  I have never played their tank game.

[Kruzenstern]

While I have always had an interest in all kinds of large military hardware (tanks, ships and aeroplanes), ships always were my primary passion. I did play WoT for I think 4 years, but since I got into WoWS CBT, I have not played a single match of tonks. I will probably do so again when the novelty of ships has worn off for me, but right not I am content with ships and have no need for tanks.

Only one person voted never...ME!

 

I came here because I love WW2 Ship History. I have played War Thunder planes and tanks mind.

Welcome! Are you enjoying it?

[DearBoy]

There's more polls than Peterborough at the moment...

 

I played tanks since open beta, but struggle to play more than one or two games nowadays as it's become a rage inducing, quite unpleasant environment which people take waaay too seriously most of the time.

 

Games are more fun when played for fun, not to increase one's stats and be better than everyone else.

 

I'll not be using xvm for this game when it becomes available and so far it's a positive enjoyable experience which keeps me playing till the wee hours and coming back for more.

[HE_magnet]

Played WOT since 2012 on my old account which i dumped after the HE fiasco in 2013....Started this one after a while cos i missed my tenky tenks ...I used to take the game serious but right now i only play

 

of a weekend and when the mood takes me...

 

Getting a bit bored of it lately but if i play its normally just in my T37,1390 or T54 for the lols.

 

 

EDIT...Wrong date ooops!!

 

 

[Zenith]

Played WoT from CBT onwards. Still recovering from the experience. 

[Bortasqu]

Same as Zenith.

 

Though, waiting for artillery & premium ammo to get reworked in WoT, playing WoWs untill then.

[Historynerd]

I played a bit in WoT. By this time, I wasn't finding it that much fun, so I just stopped playing it.

[rhumbline]

I have played WoT for a few years on and off. Been waiting for WoWS for a long time.

 

I like ships, I work on ships. So far, this has been good!

[Loran_Battle]

A few years ago I heard of this game that was in the pipeline. It was called World of Warships. Now, I am a great fan of the Battlestations games and naval warfare. Everything ships related really (one of my hobbies is building wooden model ships ).

From this I learned of this game called World of Tanks .

 

2 years and 17781 games later, having 300+ tanks in my garage and a bit tired of WoT... there she is: WoWs So yeah... I sorta came here from WoT.
