Update 0.8.2: From Britain to the Moon

[matia251]

Nice surpriise, we can get any Legendary Upgrade for Ironium till 24/4!!!

[Bad_Players_Are_Toxic]

I'm impressed WG. After a look in the port and a battle in the Midway I have 5 opinions.

 

1) Nothing in this update is of any interest. Literally nothing.

 

2) The new port UI is terrible

 

3) The new CV UI is worse than before

 

4) The CV controls still feel broken. Pressing A, D or LMB sometimes results in nothing happening

 

5) The game runs like trash. It feels like i'm playing on a potato

 

Not a nice experience. 

 

Edit: Also, whatever you have done to the service record is terrible. Whoever designs these things is clueless.

Hmmm shouldn't containers be in shop now? Says from 10:00... or am I completely wrong?

Wait.. what?! I am pretty sure you guys stated that the premium CVs would be available for doubloons when the time came to put them up for sale again? Maybe I misinterpreted your post, but it sounded like the only options in 0.8.2 will be containers, and later only for cash in the premium store?

 

For reference, I just want to put a link to a CV article: https://worldofwarships.com/en/news/game-updates/cv8-which-nation-to-choose/ (I know this is NA - a similar article exist for EU, but for some reason it seems that article has been taken down?). Bottom of the article, it says highlighted in red

 

"Attention! These ships cannot be purchased before the release of Update 0.8.2. With the release of the update, or at a later date, the ships will be made available for purchase again, but at a new cost which is 14,000 doubloons. Keep this change of price in mind, because if you convert any of these ships at this point, you may fall short of the necessary doubloons to purchase them back later!"

 

I am aware that it says "with the release of the update, or at a later date, the ships will be made available for purchase again", but if you are ready to make all the premium CVs available again, then bloody don't make it limited to only containers and premium shop?! Especially not after making the above statement. You also just released the armory for more doubloons options, didn't it make sense to add the CVs to it?

 

Some of the choices you make WG :c

no containers, but now Azuma ...

 

edit: I guess the given time frame is only meant for the last stage of the "Fly! Strike! Win!" event...

Rework the Liquidator achievement - it's impossible to get with the torpedo/flooding rework. And I'm stuck on a mission.

 

Also do something with sounds of the plane, their coming and leaving are too sudden in the sound.

[Mr_Snoww]

still no containers in the shop??

[SofaKingAmazing]

and even if they are useless, where can you check now your karma points.

According to the stream, just click your name in the top left of the Port
Should be at the end of your account name

I'm slightly puzzled... how long does the festive season go on? I mean we are now in April, or do they intend to forgo the trouble of wrapping up our presents again for the next season?

This update seems to have messed up many of the mods in the World of Warships Mod Station. This is one in game chat mod that is not working and I am not even able to de-select it because it has disappeared from the Mod Station. What is going on?

fully agree on this. Btw, did you manage to find the badges somewhere? Wanted to look at how many wins I still need for my Royal Navy elite forces, but can't find those things somehow...

[andreios_81]

UI is crap, neither intuitive nor informative, new design seems to be made for 5 year olds

No ship info can be seen in port,

"New item" notifications don't clear, and/or randomly appear on sections where there are nothing new(e.g. flags)

3 out of 4 times I cannot switch back/forth between targeting and normal view(Shift)

No apparent possibility to opt out of this space crazyness - I don't need it, don't want to see any spaceships, leave me alone please

At the end of the day - please revert all the changes from previous version!

I noticed that a Fix for the bug that causes the port to constantly freeze up especially when clicking on the orange icon that opens contacts wasn't listed in the change log. How about you get on that before making anymore changes to the game. It is the most complained about issue with the game but Wargamming continues to pretend it doesn't exist

Yea the port freezing since 0.8.0 has made me more or less stop playing the game.

I mean I could play 500games a month, dont know what I play now but its 1-2 times a week, usually play one ship for 1-3 games.

Reason is the port fezzes from anything from 20 sec to 2 minutes and it can at worst do that every 10 seconds.

My friend bought me 37 days of premium two weeks ago or so because I think he believes that will make me play more, but no amount of "buffed" rewards will make the game fun or less frustrating.

I think I played 6 games at the most, I told him not to buy me stuff because the game is so broken.

Its sad that I know someone spend money on a game he likes just to try and make people stay active in it... I sure hope this is not a something WG thinks is a good business model.

 

I took me 20 MINUTES to send a message to a friend i my contact list since we both have switch clans and are in different once now so I had take the long way trough the contact list trying to use the search function, o-boy is that broken....

When you have like 120-140 contacts there is about a 0.5 sec freeze for every contact so yea you can do the numbers.

When I had about a 100 people on it I measured the freeze to about 45-50 seconds.

 

The dam UI is literally written in FLASH, I say again, FLASH!

How the hell can company be this lazzy? No one that cares about quality or performance would touch flash!

 

I am in to retro computers and I love my 3Dfx cards, my voodoo2 cards came out in 1998.

Microsoft told 3Dfx when they came out with the Voodoo1 that they had revolutionist PC gaming for ever and they sure did.

 

Imagine now going back to 1996 or so when Voodoo1 was relevant, tell Microsoft and 3Dfx that in 2019 there will be games with more demand on the CPU and Graphics card in the  2D menus then the actually 3D game play, I'm pretty sure they would have a hard time believing that doing the maths on mores law and extrapolate what they would think would be doable 23 years later, they sure would not believe that statement. The Bloat and crappy programming required would be astronomical.

 

But here we are, 2019 and a 2D UI runs slower then the actual 3D part of the game and even that part is not impressive, WoWs realy feels like a 10 year old game running like garbage on 4-8 core machines with 2-8Gb Vram Graphics cards that can handle on paper much more demanding games a lot better.

And Im not even hardcore about graphics, on reason I do retro computing, I just demand balance between what the game dose and looks relative to what is required to run it and WoWs dont look or play anywhere near its required hardware to feel snappy.

 

@Flambasstalked about how shitty the UI is in 0.8.0. It needs to be TOP PRIORITY NOW!

The lag he is having I would call minor to what I have seen as 0.8.x has developed over time.

 

 

@Sub_Octavian

Please fix the IU!

We like WoWs game concept, when I or people that feel like me criticize your game its because we like the "idea" abd cares, we dont like spending 5-20 minutes in port between games tough.

We like YOUR game to be GOOD quality wise. I and many people dont care about more ships, we want a smooth polished stable game not this alpha junk, and yes the game has been out for for 3.5 years and you cant blame your problem on BETA, its a game people can spend a TON of money and time in and then the quality has to match!

 

We need a promise from WG to "redo" the UI not fix it, we need a MODERN replacement and we need a timeline when this will start and when it estimated to be done.

 

I have noticed how more and more people in my clan play less and less and express there frustration about port issues, CV issues and the overall lack of FUN.

The issues in my clan seems to be how week CV's are for carrying a game and actually adding anything to the match.

I actually liked the CV rework, I saw potential, I gave it a go and I was like, yea T4 is to strong fix that, T6 maybe just a tad to strong, T8 was OK but a b it week, 10T probably to strong, there should not be possible to stealth drop torps.

Well instead of doing a case by case nerf or buff you basically ruined all your work by nerfing them all and now what fun was there is gone.

Some just needed a bit of a nerf, some a small buff, some where fine.

Instead of tuning them case by case you basically undid ALL of your work and made it harder on your selves to fix CVs down the line.

 

All I see in WoWs right now is lazy game development taking a game that had tons of potential and flushing it down the drain and in the end its your livelihood and if you dont fix it people will go else where eventually and then your profits will dwindle.

there is a mission in the third and fourth directive that can be done only with those premium CVs, maybe this is a hint...

Over a week away. I highly doubt that

the containers are still not at the shop, and the CVs will come to the shop a couple of days later, so more than a week is not unlikely I'd say...

I still don't get their problem with just telling us the dates for things instead of being petty and saying 'soon'

Stupidity is a great resource at WG, the true home of pointless and badly thought out game changes.

 

Service record, now a pointless carousel of introductions to videos and nice pictures and very little information. More annoying is that it appears to reset to Clan battles as you change pages and go back, causing you to click and search anything of interest, utterly redundant .

 

It seems the CV issues are still as incredibly stupid. I wonder why there is a need to make a nice simple game,  from around 3.5 years ago, where fighting was brutal and very enjoyable into what we have now. The US cruisers hide, Battleships just snipe, I do love shooting down 30 to 40 aircraft a game with my AA cruisers. DD game play as ever is just short because of little team support.

Cruisers are fun still, but I certainly notice there must be many players who just don't want to fight, 10 minutes into a game and still on full HP, then from FULL to sinking in under 2 minutes as it attacks 3 BB's alone.

 

I have in 3.5 years spent a fair amount on the game, but honestly I now spend less. Battle after battle with weak teamwork, an issue that has never been resolved. Epicenter, yeah. DD's sink in the middle, cruisers sink in the 3rd circle and BB's just go fishing... Epicenter was supposed to force aggression, it does the opposite.

I am furiously refreshing the premium shop since yesterday because of that hint.

 

Also went on to ask on the stream yesterday and got the answer "Soon tm"

[Biotoxic]

The ship parameters is gone in port for me. I have to click on the commander and the skill selection to get a short cut to the parameters. In port i can only show the hull armor layout on the right side. Any else have this problem? bug?
