Please read this before posting, at least read the bold parts, so we can keep this thread effective and clean!   Ever since beta I've tried to create a suggestion thread like this, but so far without success.. Please help make World of Warships great again and add your own suggestions here. When you add a suggestion, please keep it positive, constructive and if possible, to the point. Be clear, be specific if possible, use terminology we all understand.   I've added a catalogue of suggestions, per topic, here in this OP, so you can just go to whichever subject interests you most, or check if something already exists, to make voting easier and prevent duplicates. Please use the appropriate subforum for discussing current or future ships or branches, it is an interesting subject, but too vast to cover here. Please do not comment on the suggestions, just like them or not, so we can keep this clean and people can just trawl through the suggestions of us forumites. If you run out of likes, come back another day. I've seen quite a few inspiring suggestions, but most of those threads die a lonely death sooner or later, this is my way of trying to keep them alive. If you want a separate topic, or already have one and want me to add them here, PM me and I'll try to add a link in the OP ASAP. If you want to comment/discuss any or all of the suggestions, please start a separate topic for that suggestion, PM me and I'll try to add a link in the OP ASAP. If you agree with a suggestion, just click 'Like this'. The more likes, the more popular a suggestion is, the more likely it will at least attract attention. Thank you for your attention and your cooperation.   Stickied and maintenance   Edit: as of the 5th of May 2017, this topic has been stickied. Thanks Kandly, and thanks to everyone who has participated so far! You've all helped make this effort at providing constructive feedback a success! I will keep track of this topic and keep adding to the index, but will now do so every few days or maybe once a week, as this topic has now become way more popular due to being more visible, so otherwise I won't have any time left to actually play the game. EDIT: due to the backlog in maintenance, please just add a reply to this topic with a link to a new topic you've created, so people will be able to find yours if it drops off the front page.   EDIT: I realise I am way behind on keeping the index up to date, but that is in part due to this topic becoming a runaway success. It was already doing pretty well before being stickied, now suggestions are still added at least a few times a week. I haven't found the time to do this in a while, busybusybusy, and will have to decide whether I want to keep doing that, especially since I don't know how important the index is to everyone. PM me if you think the index should stay. If my inbox is overwhelmed, that is encouragement to keep doing this.   Important edit as of 28th April 2017:     See here. So Kandly has promised to forward our suggestions to the Devs, which now happens weekly, and Sub_Octavian himself may pop in once in a while as well. Sub_Octavian explained that, for various reasons, nothing may come of it, which I understand, but we will at least be seen and heard by the Devs. I also don't expect answers or replies, or even a notification things have been looked at or forwarded, so don't get upset if that doesn't happen, just post a question in the 'Questions of the community thread' if you really want an answer. I for one am very happy just to know that things posted will get the attention of the people who can do something with them. So let's make the most of this!   List of all topics in this thread, and topics covered elsewhere on this forum. If you create a new thread to discuss a new proposal, just add a reply with a link to that topic so it can be found from here.   Topic: General (everything related to World of Warships that does not fit in any of the other categories) Communication -
