What keeps you in game after all the crap wargaming has put us through

[Butterdoll]

The Chinese have a frozen version of world of warships 

the rest of us are in world of lab rats.

It would be nice to return pre patch 8.0

With everything that has been going for now over 6 months after payto rico problem now desync issues legendary modules and even shikishima being added to game, it is a simple fact that war gaming is just trying to milk as much money out of their game before letting it down to the grave. The amount of ships being added community not being listened bugs not being fixed is ridiculous. How is everyone just watching this happen? War gaming said yamato will be the ship with the biggest guns in the game ever to be added. Well i guess like anything else they promised to us that ether doesnt mean anything. Players why do you stay? Arent you pissed off that you are not being heard or do you not just care?

Am at the point where I dont care

Began playing it for the fun and yes it was fun

Is not much fun nowadays and I am playing less and less

I start the game, look at my ships in port for 2-3 minutes and quit

The core gameplay sometimes still outshines the several layers of crap WG has put on their unrefined gem.
I am old and slow therefore this is the only game I somewhat can compete. 

I mainly play clan battles but even those got much worse in the current season.

I have this year covered with premium time, therefore  I believe I will make a decision at the end of the year if I go on with WOWS or not. Since there are several serious problems CV, Research Bureau with legendaries(I DESPISE that), Russian bias, Manipulated matchmaking, etc and the submarines are coming I am not hopeful regarding the future. I am actively searching for a successor of WOWS to defect to.

 

WG is lucky to be in a monopoly situation otherwise I would be gone in an eyeblink. SHAME ON YOU WARGAMING.

Quick answer: Nothing anymore.

I managed to hold out for a whole month of bad matches, horrible balancing, completely piss poor support for DD mains against CVs from WG by trying some other ship classes, playing lower tiers, trying out divisions with friends. Last week I reached my threshold. I can no longer justify playing this game. I get 1 good proper match out of maybe around 7-8 matches. The rest are ridiculous roflstomps, matches that have half the team die in 3-4 minutes because of horrible OP ships that WG doesn't care about fixing. This is a horrible fun-per-battle ratio to keep me invested in this game.

Last week I gave that Xbox Game Pass for PC that I kept hearing about a try. I've now played hours and hours of Gears of War 5, Gears Tactics, State of Decay 2 and completely abandoned WoWs without any regrets. I'm now having fun and quality gaming time. I hope they fix the game but right now I simply don't care anymore if they don't. I also bought No Man's Sky  to have a chill experience and cooldown, I like that game too, it keeps me sane. Last game I bought is Vampyr, a storytelling game with vampires and dark storyline.
I'm planning to finish XCOM: Chimera Squad after I'm done with Gears Tactics.

I have better things to do now than put up with WoWs.

Played a few more battles since I posted last time. 

Nothing changed. Having a great time with my div mates. Games is holding up great. 

Don't see reasons to complain.

I’ve been laid off work /  furloughed for 5 weeks now, I should / would have been spending so much more time in front of the pc playing wows. The reality is I can’t even be bothered to load it up now. Maybe I’m a bit down with how things are at the moment, but there’s certainly nothing drawing me into playing the game, I’d rather redecorate the house, and I absolutely hate decorating! 
However I have been spending some time at night playing the new Predator game with a few mates, that’s a quality game!

[steveraptor]

I'm enjoying the game as it is, both Solo and when in doing divs with my clan.

I recently devoted more time to DDs and Cruisers and i'm having just as much fun as playing CVs.

 

This is my first CW season and I enjoy it a lot, far more than random battles.

 

[lovelacebeer]

For the most part I usually enjoy the game yes I have bad days but over all I still enjoy myself most of the time. I do loath the current session of CW and have made it very clear to my clan mates I only will play if they need me too due to numbers. 

 

I ignored the game over Christmas due to the PR event and that tend to be my attitude when I'm not having fun I don't play, I will probably ignore the subs mode on the live server because after trying it on the PTS I didn't find it fun so why play if I don't enjoy it. 

 

I still beleive there are areas for considerable improvement in the game in the game but as things stand I find it tolerable.

Personally I love the game and the mechanics, however the lack of content updates to the game system I find ridiculous compared to many other games.  The reason I'm still here is there is no alternative to scratch this itch.

 

So sadly I play only because I have no alternative, but truly wish that was not the case.

[Ebu34]

If i answer you question OP, NOTHING! Im done truly done today. And gave up from this game.

 

1. CV BS. Nothing to counter them. AAs are joke. They are striking to anyone with impunity. I was in game. Literally striked my Moskva deleted 3/4 my HP, when  one Des Moines one Venezia close to me. We couldnt do a dent to planes. Its enough!!

2. High tier high volume spam HE and farm HE meta. Conquerer,Smolensk piece of s*it, gun bot DDs, Colbert so on. There is no room for precision shoot, rewarding AP. Its pure HE sh*t show. Spray and Pray. Nothing more. Pure braindead gameplay. If you want to close in for AP shot in time when you shot some shots get one or two citadel if you lucky. You are going to be burned to death in matter of seconds. If you cant close in you cant do anything except join to clown job and spam yourself.

3. Braindead players. ROFLStomp 9 out 10 games. Doesnt matter you are winning side or losing side. No joy.

4. Why we playing this game? For fun. I dont have fun anymore. Just pure agony and rage to play.

 

Thats why i have stopped to pay this game for almost going to be 3 years. And i cant take it anymore. I gave up and quiting today. There are plenty games to spend my precious leasure time. And actually can have fun!.
