[WG] WG_Lumberjack WG Staff 2,392 posts 4,509 battles Report post #1 Posted September 26, 2019 Technical Improvements Spotting and Detectability System After receiving numerous requests from our players, we plan to introduce changes to the spotting and detectability system in Update 0.8.9. Now, the penalty to a ship’s detectability after firing a shot will be reset 2 seconds after it leaves the enemy's spotting range. We've also added a period of guaranteed acquisition: if a ship is detected by an opponent, it will remain visible for at least 3 seconds. This change will allow us to eliminate cases when an enemy ship "flickers" at the edge of the observer’s spotting range, appearing on the map and disappearing from it in rapid succession. Special ships A new group of ships has been added, uniting the following categories: Rental ships Event ships Early Access ships Non-researchable ships without increased profitability https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/public-test/bulletin-089/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Afghanicus Players 2,106 posts 14,513 battles Report post #2 Posted September 29, 2019 What about smoke and this updated spotting/detection scheme? If I released a smoke and I briefly appear on the enemy's sight, will I be visible for the next 3 seconds despite being fully in smoke? That would be a hard nerf for the DDs and CAs with smoke because many times you get detected and pop a smoke. Each second could be the last and having additional 3 seconds of being spotted while stopping in smoke (basically a stationary, easy target) would have a high chance of sending you straight to port... I'm asking because I believe it's important and I see no mention of smoke (other than the new type for ITA cruisers)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[DPH] Foxtrot_ Players 1 post 3,789 battles Report post #3 Posted October 2, 2019 Dear Developers, I'm writing with Google. I apologize in advance. I do not know the right place to write. I'm sharing my son's (Foxtrot_ 19 years old and movement (paralysis) injury) experience. - It's really crazy to play the test. He enjoyed new levels and challenges. You can't wait to play these levels inside the game. We wish you continued success in the future. Sincerely: László Nagy (Father) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[D-ARM] Admiral_Bayer Players 9 posts 22,863 battles Report post #4 Posted October 7, 2019 Hi Developers, is it only me or does it take longer for a target to get automatically focused without pressing the X key? I already dicovered this on the live server, but I think it takes even longer on the PT server. I mean if you hover over a target until it gets picked up by the weapon focus. I think the old system was better, even though it sometimes picked up the wrong target when ships where close together. That and the not displayed camos in the harbour are the only bugs I discovered. TWILIGHT MODE Like the game mode twilight.....ok depends on group setup. But as long as you have a cruiser and a DD (besides the Mutantovsk) evereything is fine. Russian DD is not good enough in my opinion, because U have to get too close to the target and die too fast if the team is gone. BUT --> Angler and Fossil rock every game. As BB depends collecting dirt is difficult and depends on dead Teammates or killing in the exit zone. So I didn't really want to play them. Also camping ships at the exit zone can be very frustrating. Full health nearly no dirt gathered and then killing all ships which played the game as you designed it. HALLOWEEN MODES quite difficult but still better than too easy. Resume: Very compareable to the last halloween event. Keep up the good work. With kind regards, Admiral_Bayer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
