Update 0.8.5: Rogue Wave

[CallicoJackRackham]

Two things, first of all i miss the rings for my short and medium range AA (i liked having the seperate rings instead of only my max AA range) and second, the numerical value and show ship names on minimap options are bugged, no matter if i have those options enabled or disabled it still shows the numerical values on the circles on my map and the ship names too.

Why do we have to play this mode to get Benham? I don't like this mode at all...

Dont worry. You will have chance to get it another way in the future. 

Nothing that WeeGee introduces is "rare" or "unique". Money grab wins all the time. 

[gnist0s]

Wonder why WG don't let it be up to the player to decide which informations he/she want to be displayed on minimap.

 

And againg we are forced to have some stupid ships in the port. Last it was 10 ships for ranked, before that 3 for clanwar. If you dont have the right tier of ships to play clanwar or ranked, then you cant participate - share and fair!

We earlier had the possibility to hide ARP and Dragon ships. WG claims it can't be done anymore. Yes it can, rearly simple: Ask your programmers to make it work or sack them

Thanks for [edited]up the CV, the new feature only has made imposible the labor of a CV, now the feature of recovering life for the torpedo bombers is fully redundant. Better than that reduce the AA from the tier 10 ships. And revisa lot of tier 5-7 ships which are being nerfed with the change of mechanics…. (I can speak for 2 premiums Graf Spee y P.E.  Friedrich, which has gone from regular and one of the best for his tier to inexistent). The name of the ships in the minimap was optional, and those of us who don't like so many clutter want the option to remove, also in options can be put an option to configure the minimap for every ship the first time you have it, instead of having to configure the minimap for everyship, every time you have a new one or play in a new computer ….

RIDICULOUS CV!...That is your achievement!From january you nerf and nerf and nerf cv's.One ship supposed to be mighty in real world you become a miserable powerless fishingboat....January we had stopped play DD's...now-in few days or week-we stop playing CV's...CAUSE R USELESS!!...just flight over and try to protect the fleet with 3km fighters!And u dint reward us even for that...its take time to go and protect a bb and THEN try to make some damage....From 0.8.5 we cant fly even close to anything..even DDs..and the stupid MM system make battles with 1 8th tier cv and almost everybody else 10th!!!!

If u insist with this AA at least decrease the plane prepare time...we hav nt planes the last 10-8 min.of a battloe

congratulations...Any of your new ideas are much worse that previous!!

Once more in 3 to 4 years playing WOWs i ' m stopping playing Tier 8-10 and return to 4-7.

BRAVO...Thank u VEEERy much!

If AA is gonna DMG only a single plane how's Plane Heal gonna work?

- Will it heal only only one plane?
- Immunity to DMG?
- Will it now only be usefull if you catch a flak bubble?

- What about CVs with small plane reserves? (Saipan for example) Or CVs with low plane hitpoints? (Kaga, GZ for example)

TALK WITH US WG!!!

 

We need INFORMATION not a small 218 word paragraph and that's all... GOD DAMN IT Wargaming!....

wargaming only listen money money...thats all folk.

[MrOverboard]

Soo, for randoms, if we disregard Radar which is not a key feature for me after CV rework; 16 torps with 65 knots speed, can we say Benham>Black?

What a load of unwanted shiz

[Derek_70]

i cant log into game i get gray screen on start up i hear the sound but just gray screen really really frustrating

[Pancore]

WG pls leave this game alone!!! dont break it more. WTFIS dammage to single plane joke or what we heve aprill fool long time ago.

[cOmraDesLamsaRn]

AA cannot have been tested at all internally aye, godd*mn you f***ed that one up massively, I'd go so far as to say it's outright disrespectful towards your paying customers.

Next time you flip numbers, maybe run the game once to see the results... like take a squadron on planes and try to fly towards any ship and see what happens

Spoiler

they melt

.

 

Also if you make changes to make planes die very fast, maybe tweak how fast they regenerate as well... just some food for thought. 

 

Also maybe take a look at your internal processes in your dev teams to find out why a massive [edited]up like this could go through so it won't happen again.

[bencenobie]

may I ask a simple question? what is the name of the drunk russian that came up with the idea to rework the CV again with that deadly focus fire on 1 aircraft? I have just attacked a lone North Carolina with Midway and lost 6 airplanes in just 1 drop without getting in any flak cloud.... you will again make the people stop playing CVs with that rediculous ideas! I guess I lost my hobby today! Too bad I used to liked the game.

[Corvette5]

First day of new patch where supposedly planes will no longer instantly fall out of the sky while you control them from a single DD flack burst. they fall down just as fast but 1 by one, and the ones that are not attacking or are indeed returning to the CV die even faster so instead of improving and balancing the game you made it posible for CV's like USS Enterprise and Lexington that have seemingly endless planes the be .. for all intends and purposes, completely deplaned

CLEARLY this part of the "balancing" was never really tested in any and all manner because lets be fair WG is by far and by now extremly tired of the community's constant crying about OP ships and specially ones they can't instantly fire back at miss or detonate on first retaliation.

Although my personal opinion will fall on deaf ears and i will no doubt be subject to disagreeable quotes attempting to state that my opinion is biased towards carriers because i only play those... it is in fact not the case because i play all the classes, and more than any other class i play battleship, a.k.a. CV's favorite food.

 

Losing this many planes even in t10 game is just stupid now because it basicly states if there is a t9 or 10 ship such as Seatle or Mino, you will attack ONCE and then wait 5 min and battleships seem to do just as much as a cruiser that has defencive AA

 

 

 

On my Non-ranting part of comment, I AM indeed glad that t6~8 German BB's and cruisers got their secondaries buffed, and i like that the rate of fire was also adjusted  to be effective. And although i was glad to be able to play my Musashi after the new carrier rework not worrying that any flying rats would go near me, because with the new changes that messed up even faster loss of planes basicly means CV's will quit until it is fixed. 

I payed good money for Kaga and Enterprise, and i have recently spent way too much money on premiums that were either not good (AL Yukikaze) or apeared perfectly balanced and then got nerfed because someone cried too much (AL Monpelier) #bringmonpelier10kmradarback

 

On the topic of the madmax ships... good mode if only the battle royale mode is mutualy hated by  every casual player (a.k.a. everyone that plays wows) so not sure that aspect was the best in retrospect. Also why 4 mil credits for a 10point captain that neither has a unique voice nor has any... even 1 special skill to be worth paying for. There are really good captain training ships ingame that are worth less than those captains

[Nyyo22]

Thx for this AA rework, now i can play ma CV for 10-12 minutes and then...no planes left.

 

What use is the life regen on torpedo bombers now ? Don't konow cause i do not have more than one plane damaged at the same time now.

 

"You are suppose to dodge explosion". Ho yes, of course, it's work, before the attack, then you lauch the attack, loose 3/4 of you planes and the 4/4 left trying to escape AA....

 

Thy so much !

[WHITE_BEAR_cok]

YOU MADE THIS GAME FROM WORLD OF WARSHIPS TO WORLD OF CIRCUS....WITH HALOWEEN ,SPACE AND ROGUE...

[iiDutchy]

Targeting planes one by one with all AA mounts .....

in what world is that a thing ? even better its not even attacking the planes that are attacking a ship :) 
then again not that it really matter , bc you will lose all your planes anyway with this update unless you go for a lone target then 1 or 2 might make it back to the cv (if your lucky)

 

if this still exist in the next update i am putting in a refund ticket and i am not even going to bother with this game anymore,

 

STOP "FIXING" THINGS THAT ARENT BROKEN

 

and work on a real problem , like the port UI that keeps freezing every 5 to 10 seconds whenever you wanna click something.

[novents]

I took my Shinonome out earlier. Double CV game.. not a single plane shot down. CVs are still OP = confirmed 

 

(or at least that's what I assume was the gist of the "feedback" that resulted in AA rework)

[novents]

What if I told you they screwed the CVs for a patch or two to HYPE the upcoming French DD line? French DDs are CV food (delicious XP/kills), but don't have many other counters... They'll do another fix right after 8.6.0. and balanS AA back to useless

Are you kidding ? Shinonome is like a no-AA boat. Only two light machineguns on the deck. The only worse AA ship is the arkansas. It's juste normal that you did'nt shot any plane down.

There was a joke embedded there. Perhaps too subtle...
