Wargaming will have a lot of old and new players enjoying the CV rework and submarines. IMHO it makes the game so much richer in variety and enjoyable :)

 

Then you’re in the minority:

Is the previous posted content of the developers work location intended to stalk Wargaming employees?

 

It’s called market feedback.

 

When you’re disappointed with somebody or something then express that.

 

I guess you’ve never done it before.

[AirSupremacy]

It is unusual to post the developers address, location opening hours and general telephone number in to a forum, requesting to send letters  and perform phone calls with Wargaming about gameplay and content disappointment.

You are correct that I do not have performed such actions and I would not recommend stalking behaviour besides the developers existing and condoned gameplay feedback channels.

You’re at a restaurant and the waiter brings you your food and there’s a dead fly sitting on top of it.

 

A: Do you eat it.

 

B: Or send it back to the kitchen with a complaint.

 

What do you do?

[AirSupremacy]

Stalking remains stalking. Gameplay feedback and suggestions are constructive.

It's their HQ, on Google Maps, any simple search will find it. I doubt it's really such a terrible thing to post it here on the forums, of one of their own games even?

You need a dictionary: Stalking (crime of following or harassing another person, causing him or her to fear death or injury.)

 

What I will be doing is lodging a formal grievance as a customer with a legitimate complaint.

 

If they choose to take any notice of said complaint?

 

Then that’s WarGaming's choice, but either way the truth will be where it needs to be.

 

And you’ve still not answered the question: What would you do?

About this new update and as a main DD, even fully specked AA, I did try to get a bit better and make along but all I felt is frustration, frustration, frustration... I guess I won't touch this game until something change. What's the point of the game if you have to flee from random if you want to enjoy yourself?

[garath63]

 

I am against this update! usually with my ranger I averaged 70000 damage, there in 6 games 10000 damage. I feel useless ! besides my rank 7 with everything I had put on disappeared without compensation

 

[MANIQKBGR]

rip game

 

[peter_s_price]

BTW outraged with the credits it has cost me to replace all the Upgrades that I have had removed, and also the cost of replacing 2 x T7 CVs with 2 x T6 CVs.

 

Before the loss I had 81M credits.  To put my ships back where they were and purchase everything on the T6 Cv's  I am now at 79M. How is that Fair?

 

If I hadnt Replaced my T6 CV's but just kept them I would not have been hit like this (Instead I would still have the credits that I spent on the T7 CV and they would have simply replaced my T6's).

All the work and credits I spent on grinding my T6 and T7 has all bee wasted! 

 

Feels very much Like I have been cheated!

 

 

[Horcan]

With this patch and last premium changes you absolutely convinced me to abandon this game. CV changes are horrible, premium won is not usable on other titles, matchmaker is absolutelly horendeous with most games being on lowest tiers and so on... no fun to play being two tier VIII's in almost full tier X games. Ill stick to WoT and WoWp for premium time farming.

[Lord_Molly]

What has happened to my Massachusetts???

 

30 S reload is pain. i'm not sure but the secondaries seem to do less damage than before and if i'm not mistaken it has less health. 

 

Why you break the beautiful ship???

[dreambill]

I finally played a few battles with the new CVs. Conclusion: Different for sure. Better? No Absolutely NO.

After first 2-3 battles is repetitive and extremely boring. An even dumber game play than the dumb rework of WoWp (which failed to resurrect the low player base, 1,5 year now).

I cannot understand why every "improvement" of WG games must conclude to "simplified" aka dumber games. I'm very disappointing that WG considers their player base (or future one) consisting from dumb (or maybe 5 year old) players.

Was previous CV game play flawless? NO. Needed improvement and balance? YES. But by no means this childish uninspiring approach.

And one other thing. I spend hours of my life playing and researching carriers. I want my stolen carriers BACK in my account - even if they'll just sitting in my port to stare at them.

I don't want XP or credits for them. I want them IN my port. And if they ever will be included in the game again, I want to have instant free access and use of them and not having to spend hours to acquire them again.

At least WoWp left all the inventory of planes intact to players after ruining their game with their rework.

MΠΡΑΒΟ WG ΜΑΣ ΚΑΝΕΙΣ ΝΑ ΑΦΗΣΟΥΜΕ ΤΟ ΠΑΙΧΝΙΔΙ  ΑΝΤΕ ΓΕΙΑ ΚΑΙ ΒΑΛΕ ΤΟΥΣ ΠΡΟΓΡΑΜΑΤΙΣΤΕΣ ΝΑ ΠΑΙΞΟΥΝ ΤΟ ΠΑΙΧΝΙΔΙ ΕΤΣΙ ΟΠΩΣ ΤΟ ΚΑΝΑΤΕ

This [edited]sucks thanks wargaming to make such a horrible gameplay.... totally ruined cv playing.

[cpt_sparrow_jack]

hey mates to participate in Naval Battle: A Clash Between Clans do we have to press any button or register somewhere?

[_BigRed__]

Playing the CV is BORING !!!!
Playing tactically in a DD is impossible cause high speed rocket planes find you right from the start of the game.

Complete success by Wargames in ruining what WAS a good game..... better than WOT as people had to play together to win.
 

Oh well, that's me turning off my credit card.............think about that Wargames !!

[_BigRed__]

I think looking at the following video underlines everything broken with the game now................ 

 

[CallicoJackRackham]

Hey WG would you mind explaining why my North Carolina used to have an AA rating of 100 (techincally over 100 with captain skills) and now with the same skills and upgrades only has an AA rating of 73? WHat did you think, lets revamp CV's and also without explicitly telling we will do so nerf all AA?

[ironTiger]

    I try and refrain from overreacting and posting immediately..... but I feel the need to vent my thoughts.     I have played this game since the end of Alpha testing and the Full Beta testing.  Carriers were a lot of fun back then.   NO STRAFFING ...  you had to use your skill to lure enemy fighters into friendly ships aa range for assistance.  you plotted out your attacks and spoke to your team about who needed spotting for DD's...who needed fighter cover.  Players would bring out DEDICATED AA ships just to gobble up those planes and back then a team could have 3 CV's in a platoon...there was usually a lot of planes to munch.   

 

     It was fun but it did have its issues.  Since then....it just seems wargaming has made the  CV gameplay with each attempt to fix it...more broken and with every patch created more and more problems.  Now here we are with this current patch.    Before Wargaming came out with World of Warships ..... I played NavyField because it was the ONLY naval game out there worth a damn...and that game failed because they did not listen to its player base and it died.   Warships not only replaced NavyField as the "GAME" for naval battles but raised the bar 10 fold.  Your over thinking this Wargaming and your actually wrecking a perfectly good game.  Your stepping back 10 years to "Battle Stations Midway" type game....my 10-year-old doesn't even like that game.

 

     The currently implemented patch takes out any thought, any strategy and any ability to communicate and assist your team in multiple areas at the same time.  You've made carrier play simple.  I can't provide fighter cover for my poor BB being pounded and at the same time launch a torp attack on that pesky DD...., while auto dropping Dive bombers on a Cruiser.  It's just kiddy game, now.  Come on....seriously most of us players are adults who have jobs and work and spend $$$$$$$$$$ on this game as a form of stress relief, a game of skill and sport or just for the love of History and being able to be back in a time when war wasn't just pointing a missile and hitting a button.

 

     Now being somebody who has played alpha and beta tested all 3x of your games.  World of Warships, World of Warplanes and World of Tanks, I am upset about this new Premium ONLY for warships ad campaign...  YOU JUST WANT MORE MONEY from the player base, that simple.   Then throw in this patch for Carriers.....  if anyone here reads articles in gaming magazines...it is well known that your company is now pushing to get into the Console market player base.  You are planning to release the World of Warships onto X-Box and PS4 later this year..... It is very interesting if you think of it how hard it would be to control an RTS Carrier with a gaming pad....controlling your multiple fighters, bombers and torp planes.....  Now with your new format for CV's you can control them very well with a gamepad....    This again is not FOR THE GAMES COMMUNITY.... it is for your company to expand into a new player base and ad more PROFIT/ $$$$$$ for your company.  

 

     Its also not just the CV's that are now affected.  I loved my atlanta..bought it right after the Beta Testing....  Was well worth buying as a HE spammer,  The Devil to DD's who didn't know I was there and AA god.  Now you have nerfed the AA power of the ship, a full AA spec Atlanta now has its AA range nerfed from 7 to 5km... The ship is basically not worth anything and ALL PLAYERS should have thier money refunded.  That is just the Atlanta...every other ship has had their AA nerfed and CV's buffed in the current patch...but again people will go back and forth on this but I WOULD LIKE A REFUND ON MY ATLANTA please.

 

     Greed never got a gaming company anywhere and there is a multitude of great games that died because the developers did not listen to the player base and figured "ah, they will go along or get over it".   Please do not drive down that dead-end road that ends in a cliff.....  I have at least 40 friends who actively play this game...I have Teamspeak and Discord web channels with clan mates and gaming friends....you can see who is playing what by the channel in Teamspeak or their discord account.  As of a week ago, everyone was logged in at one point or another...now its like a ghost town..everyone is playing a different game...trying a new thing...to REPLACE warships....  something they enjoy to keep there time.  Fix this please because I do love this game as a player and a historian of WW2.  You are going away from the heart and inspiration that made you make this game.  Go back to the beginning and start from scratch...the original CV format WAS MUCH better than what you have now.  Go back to the drawing board.

 

Sorry to everyone if I was long-winded.

[swemichael08]

I am also done with this game if the latest patch is not fixed ASAP - ease spent 1000 US dolllars last tree years but after latest change the game has changed to a shooter game from a game with a lot of strategic gameplay beforel.

 

If there is any from development team reading this - please do something quick or you will lose alot of customers.

 

[Aragathor]

The growing amount of public negative response to the CV rework will not attract new players, it will scare them off. There will be no real replacement for the veterans that leave.

The lack of immediate response by WG shows that they don't care about the damage this is doing to the game. They have it too good.

[sneakyscotsman]

Seems to me i need to dust off the xbox if i want to play this in the future, because its dying on its arse on PC

[SOLDATRYAN_66]

I havent' played since 3 month because I was alrady disapointed about this game.. but now, with that update WG really killed the game ! 
Wargaming, the art or [edited]a good game ! 
I won't come back again... 

[Red_Bolt]

 I bought a huanghe, but the third day there is no victory on it. wins need to buy separately? p.s  probably won't buy any more
