Update 0.8.2: From Britain to the Moon

[G3Virus]

Well have now tried 0.8.2.

ITS WORSE!

 

I played 3 BOISE games in a row using battle on button for reasons thats gonna be obvious later.

 

Well In my 3:e game I met an Atlanta player, some cat and mouse play I eventually came out on top but had a good game for once.

I was top in my team, he was top in his team so I figured I send him a complement and a message in port saying thanks for a good fight.

 

Well I pushed the back to port button, game fezzes for about 60 seconds before I can even use the port, thats why I use the battle on button now more then ever....

I go to the contact menu and type in his nickname, takes a good 2-3 minutes for the game to sort that out.

 

Then it takes me 3 attempts to write a sentence, reasons are that the game lags even when you typ that it misses howl words.

 

After my 3:e attempt "Good Fight! I sent you a complement. Best Regards BOISE" turned in to "Good u a! Sent you a complement" something like that anyways, so now between the lag I added what was missing, no point trying to type a howl sentence in port with the lag as it is.

 

I got a solid 60fps cap locked intentionally at high and 1440p in the game so how can the dam port be this bad (the use of flash and poor programming?).

Like why dose it seem like the game is not smart enough to cache contacts locally and update in the background as a separate process? If it dose its not noticeable to the end user so crap implementation then.

I rather have instant access to my contacts and stuff in port then a perfect realtime representation of there status.

 

Well the game is FUBAR!

 

Wargameing please fix you dam game!

I dont have problems with the game . 

I played more than 10 battles and everything working, fps is very good , no lag and frezes.

The port view is workong too. Maybe some of you using mods? I tried some mods before  but the game became 

laggy and bugged ,therefore i never use any mod after 2 years.

 

Where are the premium carriers and containers? They become illegal  because they count as gambling? 

I wanted the RN prem carrier but nothing in the game news. Somebody know something?

No they aren't. They are coming soon to the shop.

For some reason, it seems like they want to delay their availability in shop. I'm waiting for them too.

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

 

Why is this nice?
Isn't it the case, once you buy your tier 10, you get a special mission after the first battle in it.
So since you can only use that Unique Upgrade for that particular ship,... why just don't do the 5x mission and earn it for free!
Even if in some ships this does take a lot of games.....

Am I wrong here? (or are those missions taken out of the game)
Can anyone answer , ..... ?
Because it would be so nice to save people from spending 600 expensive resources on a free to get item.

btw. choose those Unique upgrades wisely , some ships will do the jobs quite fast... so buy the upgrades for the ships that will have a hard time earning it.
And don't buy a upgrade you like! Those upgrades are linked to only one ship!
That's why they are called "unique" and not Legendary.

I do like the mature look of the Port-view. (only talking the looks here , hey!)

Well I never used any mods. ( illegal nor legal ). 
So I only have in-game problems when everybody has them,... 

Using Mods does feel to me I'm missing some skill on my own. Somewhat like legal-cheating.
I like to play the raw basic games.
Even when this means some disadvantages,...
Winner in this "never using mods" is; I never have to wonder in case of game problems occur.
Anyway, this is how I look at it. (not judging anybody else onto the matter)


Containers will be in Premium shop when mission block opens I figure.
in a week.
look at the Fly Strike Win 3rd mission block....
you need a Prem. CV for it.

They are still here. Doing my STD atm.

I actually thought u had removed the meaningless carmasystem.....but u actually spent time and energy just to move it.

New port UI is actually a downgrade for me: campaign and daily container progress are not clear anymore, same for combat missions.

If you guys absolutely want to ruin it, at least give us the option to use the old one.

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

I dont think we will see the premium CVs for gold, although I interpreted the statement like you do.

But think this way. Everyone want to get the his hands on one or more premium CVs he missed to buy.

So WG will force us to buy them with hard cash even if we have enough gold on stock (like myself).

 

Maybe we get suprised and they will also pop up in the armory , but I doubt it tbh.

"Added a commemorative flag for aircraft carrier VIII Saipan, and the CV Armada flag that comes with purchasing a bundle containing all Premium aircraft carriers."

How to understand this sentence? Will all owners of USS Saipan get the commemorative flag being introduced for this ship with 0.8.2.? Or will both flags only be available for purchasing the large CV bundle?

[___DarkPower___]

Stop playing with ships and CV!!!! 

Don't waste time with idiots. FPS and fix the game performance.

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.

They only care about taking players money. I can't count the number of times I created a ticket with them and they closed it out saying it was solved without doing anything. If you kill someone in a division on the enemy team and they all decide to use all their reports to report you for misbehaviour in chat even though you never commented you get chat banned for 3 days. If you try appeal with Wargamming they won't even bother to check if you did anything they'll just say you're banned and close the ticket. When they did the live stream in Russian I got banned from their Twitch channel for saying the stream kept freezing. Seriously I got banned for pointing out a statement of fact. Everyone else that mentioned it also got permanently banned. This is the kind of company you're dealing with, If you pint out an issue you get banned. I mysteriously got in game chat banned for a week after having an argument with their customer support. 

If it wasn't for the fact that I've spent so much money in game they probably would have banned me from the game altogether. The only reason I haven't been banned is because they think that they're going to get more money out of me. Fat chance of that happening. Everything from the freezing in port, the terrible matchmaking that teams you with people that never bothered to learn how to play to Wargammings shitty customer support shows how little Wargamming thinks of their player base
