Public Test of Update 0.8.0 - Discussion Thread

[Master_Arne]

There are so many issues With the CV rework. I will stop playing CV's when the patch comes out. 

After watching a good CV player play, it's like watching a ballet. The CV rework is like jerking off With a cheese iron. Slightly amusing, but mostly painful………...

BBs & DDs need AA buff. That makes it worth to spend credits for AA modules and commander skillpoints for AA skills. Dont make it that you need play cruiser only, if you want make CV pay when he/she strikes.

So I've heard we will have to deal with perma floods even on dds now ? Or lower flood chance on plane torps few times ?

[Norway_beast]

what rewards do you get from playing on the public test server, and do you have to use the same name on PTS as on your live server account?

[pfcremus]

Planes in general have lower flooding chance, even on the live version. While DD torps are around 80% (depending on the torpedos of course), have planes more like 20%. DD's won't suffer a lot from floods. It's not that hard to dodge the planes

Like I said, Pikkozoikum, I will be hunting & sinking the Reworked CV FARCES with my DDs (or Cs or BBs). I can hear the whining from the bottom feeders already, LOL.

[tsounts]

Everyone get an Asashio fast and all start chasing the cvs around! Let there only be Asashios and CVs in matches! LOL.

[80yearoldpotato]

Anyone know when the Test round 2 will go live ?

" After numerous stages of Closed Tests and three major Open Beta Tests, we are happy to announce that the new aircraft carrier gameplay is ready..." it is defenetly not! Why do you need to push it like this? Release 0.7.13, or even .14 if you want it to be good, and do not rush it just to have as a big release ASAP!

" Consumables are activated automatically..." Good bye tactics...

 

if this was just that ..

I'm still so disappointed, how WG can tell us that.. "After numerous stages of Closed Tests and three major Open Beta Tests, we are happy to announce that the new aircraft carrier gameplay is ready..."

We are happy and Rework CV Is ready.. Pretty joke :(
WG have confused the month of January with that April ?
In itself, i share the same opinions as Farazelleth, i hope WG will raise head very quickly :/

[Dukewerth1]

So, they decided to put their [edited].That's sure. 20 days more and bye bye WOW maybe. I don't play often CVs but today, I took it. With my independance, was with a Ranger and against us, we had ranger + independance. That was a so fun battle... so tactic and no CV had been " out of the game " and we all did smg (destroyed 45 planes, 40k dmg only but I spotted and covered my team). My point is, what will you do with the futur CV? Oh just send 1 squad by 1 squad and bomb or smg like that...

This seems boring and braindead. The magic at this moment of the CV is the tactic. We have more and more " noobs " today (to be nice with them...) and I'm afraid that the majority of real good players would boycott the game because you won't get any class difficult to play. And the level will fall....

All of that in order to say I'm very mad at WG because they listened the new players and not the old ones. They prefer, as a company, the money from the new players than the trust of the players...

I hope people will boycott WG and for example, stop buying a single ship or premium account ... (btw, sry for my english, hope it had been understood)

I find it silly that I cant login on the PTserver, should be a worldwide account that works for ALL servers and WG games. After an hour of trying to set a new pw, etc, etc. I gave up my attempts to get into the PT and testing of the new carriers.

The PTS is closed since 2 days. You have to wait for round 2. Sorry that you tryed it for an hour for nothing ;P

Guess they mean the gameplay, mechanic and bug wise. Not the balancing. Balancing is something, that is never "ready" xD

[cookiemonster66]

*edited*. My personal opinion still stands, in it's present form the CV rework is seriously flawed, do they have time to correct these flaws or even to postpone the CV rework while they balance it correctly yes they do. Do i think they will fix or postpone the introduction, no i don't they will force through the changes and fire fight the inevitable forum storm it's rushed and untested mechanic creates. I await ban hammer but wont be forced to back something i don't believe in.

I guess it is not because "not being positive", but because of offensive language? At least that is the comment below one of your posts.

It's not about what you're saying, it's about how you're saying it. :)

I have to agree with Pikkozoikum on this one, Dukewerth1. I'm totally against the CV FARCE rework (my favourite term, atm) & even I can get a moderator sanction.

I might (& do) disagree with that but the moderators have the arbitrary power here (as they have the EURL to 'enforce' & 'enforce' it they do). Hence, be careful of what you type.

You've hit the nail right on the head, Dukewerth1, that would make WG sit up & notice.

Unfortunately, very few players are actually going to quit WoWS over this.

Some will stop playing the reworked FARCE CVs (including me) but WG is counting on enough sheep (current players) & lambs (new CV players) to follow their 'new shepherd'.

PS: please, excuse me if my English is not correct, i'm french (No baguette or Frogis too xD) I'm doing my best.
I come here, to see and read the returns of rework CVs, and my conglusion is same for Fench and German Forum.. Rework is not good, not finish.. WG are on wobbly states, by sheep players and heater of this class ship .. 

 

 

For balancing, i not sure for returns of WG :/ and same for mechanic is not ready , they sway like that rework for console portage, but for me Wargaming just go right, into the wall.

This rework, - no help class ship and new player ! - no help game. and - no help WG..

I had only one glitch with the stern rudder of the Zero, no bugs in the last round. But it makes no sense to rate a game bad, because of bugs while a beta. I always thought betas are there for testing and finding bugs...

[jajara666]

My concerns whit cv rework : 

 

1: It is hard to balance cv-s in their current state  because the gameplay is to different from other classes . 

    HOW IS THE NEW SYSTEM IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM DIFFERENT IN THAT RESPECT ?

2 : Give us back aa ... 

 

imo the subs that we had for halloween are more flashed out and bather suited for live release than cv rework ...

Had the amount of effort that you put in this ,in this state abomination,  in balancing the old system surely it would be done by now.

1: You're saying the gameplay of current version is different:

Curret version: CVs have RTS gameplay, non-CV have action gameplay.

Rework: CVs have action gameplay, non-CV have action gameplay.

There are a lot differences.

 

2: What do you mean with "back"? The AA is getting a buff, already anounced

Announced where and what part of AA gets buff? Ranges will suffer last I checked and Planes shot down is far less what it is now. 

Ye sure you might do more AA dmg than now. But planes/ squadrons got also way more hp pool.

Oh look, Pikkozoikum, that's three Forums (Eng, Fre & Ger) which  clearly don't like the FARCE CV rework. Quit beating the WG drum. *edited*

[sneakyscotsman]

Well i suppopse the CV rework will give me the chance to go and see what BF5 is like
