Acaxochitl Beta Tester 4 posts 11,326 battles Report post #1 Posted January 9, 2019 My premium game time expires today and i'm wondering if i should buy more or not. Because now i am paying for a game that i enjoy, and i'm not so sure if i will when the CV rework is live. So the question is, will we get some compensation for this? Considering that we'll be more or less Guinea pigs for the next month or so... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a feeling we will see a 'slight' increase in planes and CV players when the patch hits. As in : maximum numbers every game. Lets just say that my Arkansas beta is not going to see much play after the patch hits.

(the Arkansas beta is a tier 4 battleship with no AA whatsoever) yes, as with every new line we will see "rush" for 1 month, but after that CV population will be as it is right now. Why? it still will be hard for average WOWs player, it will give supbair dmg and influence in game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Acaxochitl Beta Tester 4 posts 11,326 battles Report post #6 Posted January 9, 2019 I can wait untill after the rework, no problem, but i'm sure there are people who bought 6 months or even a year of premium before the CV rework going live was announced. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[CG] Redcap375 Players 4,371 posts 15,295 battles Report post #8 Posted January 9, 2019 Why do you think WG was selling a year premium for much less. Nothing to do with the CV rework at all and keeping players in the game to wither the CV S***storm. That shows worried uncertainly with a slight lack of confidence in the system rework. Read between the lines. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[KAKE] Uglesett Players 2,804 posts 6,795 battles Report post #10 Posted January 9, 2019 If it hadn't been for the CV rework, I probably would have bought a year of premium time half off. As it is... the chance that the CV rework is going to kill off this game for me is so high that I just don't think it's worth it. Too many of the ships I genuinely enjoy playing seem like they're just going to get ed by the new CVs. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will try it, and probably just game as usual if I like it or if it is a 'minor inconvenience'.... But if it is the $h!tstorm that it seems to be / a lot of people say it will be, might take a time off. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[SM0KE] Verblonde Players 9,787 posts 20,664 battles Report post #12 Posted January 9, 2019 Apart from some that I won, I'm not touching the WOWS premium time with a ten-foot barge-pole (although it's a bit moot, as I had plenty of premium time when the 'matched WOWS premium' thing happened) - with standard premium, one can at least jump back into WOT if the initial phases (or all phases) of the CV rework suck the proverbial moose balls. Spent a happy half an hour fettling the cammo on a bunch of premium tanks last night, in readiness... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[BYOB] HMS_Britannia Beta Tester 250 posts 44,727 battles Report post #15 Posted January 9, 2019 A more interesting question is: will WG allow us to have our premium time back for this period of "testing" on live server, it is a major change to the game and they themselves say it will totally bugger up the balance etc for potentially months to come. Im thinking something similar to when the servers go down and they credit us with an extra day to make up for the loss its not an unreasonable ask in my opinion, or the other option is to do the sensible thing and just remove the bloody things from the game totally, its not like they are required for a good game or for the game to work. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[WCBG] BrusilovX Beta Tester 2,838 posts 23,907 battles Report post #17 Posted January 9, 2019 I guess if the CV rework is really bad for DDs (or others) then there is always scenarios (sometimes), ranked or clan wars left. Some of the clips I've seen (the USA rocket armed planes taking out DDs left, right and centre) it does not look good for a DD player. Mind you even now a CV player can make the game very bad for a DD by simply spotting them until the DD is taken out by team mates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And then everyone else will just dominate every Air vs Surface engagement You being a potato who can't make these CVs work speaks more about your absolute lack of skill / basic game understanding rather than anything else...
