Just ONE day of Narai. What the F?

[Sir_Sinksalot]

Any reason for just one single day of this Ops mode? It only switch to Narai yesterday and today it's Aegis. I had a few T7 ships I was looking forwards to grinding in that enjoyable game mode. Maybe this is a mistake with todays German CV update?

Ops are slowly getting removed

You can always ask for teams in the operations chat in game.

Still a weird move by WG, are they changing ops now at a daily basis or have they just screwed up?

Apparently the 9.6 patch introduced a game breaking bug in Narai where the result screen wouldn't come up at the end of the match. This in turn would then force players out of the game and back to the main menu with no rewards for the match they just played or would crash the game full stop.

 

Why WeeGee didn't catch it before patch release I don't know (probably because they don't care for Ops so didn't check)

 

Me, I'm looking on the bright side of this that I don't have to wait a week to try out the Tier 6 German CV in OPs now .

[Sir_Sinksalot]

Well, that explains that I suppose, even though I didn't experience any such issues playing Narai yesterday. Pity though, I see many of these new directives need T8+ ships and I was going to grind out the Bismarck with the fun secondary build Gneiss along with working my way towards that T8 U.S. Baltimore which we got that funky perma-camo recently so there goes that idea.(lol)

Nice one, WG, very subtle plan to get ops out of the game completely...

[Nov_A]

Meh, stopped playing Narai after the XP-Nerf fixing of technical issues of which most still remain and even additional ones have been added.

[Jvd2000]

I played Narai several times yesterday and the only bug i found was with the total bad players in it.. having no clue whatsoever... But did have the ships to be escorted do strange stuff too. And the enemy final fleet already engaging while we were outside the main base...

[Sir_Sinksalot]

At least I got to try my new Gneiss out yesterday before they pulled the plug. 

 

[Dampfboot]

I played it three times yesterday with no issues, I guess was lucky then.

[Fatal_Ramses]

Something has happened to T6 ops (or Aegis [Aetius] only) during this patch.

Only 993 base exp, that would have been easily over 1300 base-exp.

Similar damages but vastly different base-exp.

I got 5 stars everytime, so maybe you got the teams I was glad not to get. Though there was this twin California division... each of them got ONE kill, and they barely made it into gunnery range of the target zone. So we basically played with a 5-ship team.

What happened to Aetius was that he was murdered in 454 by an envious Valentinian...

[Hugh_Ruka]

Aaah, another transparent excuse to lower the rewards ...

I just bought the California for NARAI, after 6-months boycotting the premium shop...
Thanks for the great surprise, WeeGee :D
I was NOT pleased at all (and no one cares, I agree) :D

Lesson learned (again), don't spend on WG

 

Even more so if purchase was intended on PvE Operations, game mode WG oh so subtly, oh so gently looks towards removing or neutering economy completely, so you can't have fun and make credits/exp at the same time.

I am playing in PvP anyway (obligated if you wish to extract the substantific pleasure of driving a warship at any tier) but PvE is my resting place of choice, especially Naraî, whatever the eco-nerf.
See you on the oceans, mate (or maybe more accurately around an island).

You better bring some tugboats along!

No more tier 7 PvE?? Bah...

 

Something's fishy for PvE.

 

I took Leander out on Aegis, did over 250k damage with major contribution, assistant etc and was bottom of the team with a base XP of 900?? WTF.

Seems another round of silent nerfs is in progress

Same goes for me actually....and i already more or less stopped buying anything above Operations tiers.

 

I won't stop playing WOWS but i will  just spend less on the game then i would have with a good amount of PvE content. Hoped they bring T8 Ops back, not they cut away T7 Ops too....

[lossi_2018]

They realized it coincided wit the CV release and pulled it like they had in the past. Also they nerfed everything to the ground. I'm looking at the space the game holds in my hard disk and started thinking it is time to move on completely. A pity since I've been here a lot of time. No decent OPs no fun for me too:/

Ya I mean, I said it before and I'll say it again, Ops is an enjoyable outlet for many players that just want to chill and/or grind various ships or commanders or whatever as they play and enjoy the mode. If WG try and derail, remove and/or nerf the various incomes in Ops because WG would prefer these Ops fans to play more random battles or other PvP game modes it's not going to work as planned because you can't negatively influence players or indeed ppl like that in games or life, it doesn't work that way as we all know and all that will happen imho is these Ops players will simply shag off to some other game and WG will have lost what I believe is a niche playerbase and a potential way of generating money through selling premium ships, doubloons for retraining/transferring commanders for new ships or new tiers or just skill changing etc, selling perma-camos and just exploring other ways to make Ops a viable source of income without negatively altering the mode and its returns.

 

Instead WG should build on it and take it to other tiers. You could even have a sort of PvP Ops tournament mode every once in a while whereby instead the challenge is for teams or clans to race each other to complete the same Ops mission with the winner dictated by the fastest completion time and obviously each star is a significant factor whereby there's a time penalty for each star lost which means maybe the fastest time might actually lose if it was only a 3 stars win which means it gets 2 dropped stars of time penalties added. Something like that, there are ways of making this mode profitable for WG and even more fun that's all I'm saying.

 

Also, the bi-product of leaving Ops the way it was is that players had a fun way of making plenty of credits and grinding crappy stock ships and grinding out some decent commanders all of which results, at least personally speaking, in me and I dare say a lot of Ops players being MUCH more likely to play ranked and randoms etc because now instead of having to suffer lots of battles in randoms with some crappy stock ship and commander, I know that when I take on ranked battles, just like that tier7 offering last time, I did so confidently with a full spec over powered Sinop and a really good commander with all the skills needed to compete on somewhat equal terms with other players. Would I have played ranked battles with some stock ship which is what I would have had without Narai? Hell no! In fact I probably wouldn't even have any tier7 ships without Ops same way I don't have any tier8 9 or 10 ships. Correction, I in fact bought a tier8 Vlad thinking I might play the ranked sprint but true to my word the stock ship was weaker than it should be fully unlocked obviously with less hp on the stock hull and it was really slow to turn and the guns were down on range, since it was stock. I transferred a decent captain there and put in good equipment but being stock it was not up for the job and I'll never do that again, lesson learned and in regards to this thread, point proven. Had there been a tier 8 Ops, I would have undoubtedly had several top spec tier8 ship offerings and would 100% have played a lot of that ranked sprint. Who knows, maybe playing the ranked battles would eventually lead me to playing more random battles too, but it ain't gonna happen now is it.

 

WG, get it together, nurture the playerbase you have, there's just too many great games out there to mess about with players like this. Take a look at Twitch to see where the gaming community popularity is at, you'll have to look a loooong way down the list of most viewed live game streamers before you encounter WoWs, even WoT. A person can currently buy really top games on Steams summer sale for a small fraction of the price of your premium pixel ships(and tanks). Don't pis* your playerbase off, it will not serve your company or future very well. For this game and WoT too for that matter I would say its a fun game worth the download and to play FOR FREE but to pay for this experience? play, but don't pay would be my opinion on it. WoWs and WoT are great games and for free really great BUT, sadly while 90% of the game is really great there's always that 10% toxic gaming feature. In WoT it's SPG, in WoWs it's CV's and radar and soon to be subs maybe and sadly that 10% is SO toxic it just totally ruins the 90% of whats a great game. I'm drifting off topic here but you get my point, between that and messing around with Ops you're not doing yourselves any favors.
