[MORIA] quickr Players 1,953 posts 25,244 battles Report post #1 Posted August 12, 2020 It's a 2 hour long podcast in which SubO talks about Customer service, Russian culture, his job in WG and later on game play and game mechanics. If you are only interested about that last stuff (game play and game mechanics) feel free to skip first 45 or 50 minutes. Stuff I pulled out from the interview as interesting: „There will be a lot of changes regarding subs in next few dev blogs“ „BBs and heavy cruisers will get anti-sub weapons“ „Second Sub event is coming to live servers soontm“ „CV-DD interaction when it comes to spotting is still WIP, we don't want to rush it“ „We canceled minimap only spotting for CVs (for now). We are trying something new“ „We don't treat lack of fog of war (due to CVs) as a bad thing“ Around 1:30:00 SubO talks about wows, e-sport and why they don't consider it (yet) Talks about cheaters and „haxs“ at around 1:45:00 Last 10 minutes SubO talks about future of WOWS 16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nah, SubO actually said cos of RNG they (WG) don't consider WOWS as an e-sport (yet). even tho hosts pushed him into this topic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They already tried it with Tanks and that one has even more RNG (apart from the RNG-accurary, not only do you get +/- 25% RNG-rolls on penetration, you also get them on alpha damage). I think they failed hard trying to make Tanks popular for e-sports though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also: they design a class that's totally relying on fog of war stealth, design another class that removes the fog of war for that stealth class, and make sure the AA on that class is totally useless and even makes it stupid to have it on? Also, treating the lack of FOW 'as not a bad thing' while at the same time having 4 to 5 battleships per side in a team of 12 sure sounds like not a bad thing to cruisers (that are supposed to support DD's) at all. Does the WG design and balance team even hear themselves talk? Seeing as WG doesn't treat the lack of FOW as an issue, I'm exclusively playing cruisers that bring their own FOW for the time being :P 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[MORIA] quickr Players 1,953 posts 25,244 battles Report post #9 Posted August 12, 2020 Having listen thru entire podcast. Lot of stuff got lost in translation, hosts pushed him on some irrelevant topics like e-sports but haven't asked a thing about CV boycott. Funnier parts of the podcast were when he said WG cares about core vocal player group that has been playing the game from beginning. He talked about WG scratching off NTC and re-inventing it as RB, as an example of WG listening to playerbase. He also admitted Puerto Rico event was failure but called Odin even great success, take it as you want. He stuttered a lot when asked about CVs in CBs. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WGs idea was to fill it with modules that would straight up buff your tier X ships. Community was strongly against it so WG decided to scratch it off. Only to come back with this research bureau (RB) couple of days(?) weeks (?) later. In my mind RB is just NTC 2.0 but I understand not everyone see it that way. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What's NTC now? I'm asking this because it's a thing in the port , i clicked on it, apparently i have 10 tries before it gets serious but... I asked myself this question several times. Do people go there? What's for? Since we have the Research Bureau. Some kind of ops? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's nothing called NTC any more, AFAIK. Research Bureau is for resetting lines (idk how that works though, I don't have T10s yet). It used to be called the Naval Training Centre but is now renamed. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was FAR WORST ... https://medium.com/@devblogwows/naval-training-center-6ae94ee5b34a Research Bureau is simply either some stubborn developer refusing to let go of a bad idea or some stubborn manager refusing to let go of a bad idea, the entire purpose of both NTC and RB is the same, forcing people into spending money for FXP but NTC simply made it mandatory if you wanted to have any kind of equal ground, RB simply took out (for now) the worst aspects of NTC and launched as a "tamer" way to get new ships ... of course now Unique Upgrades are there as well a T9 ship. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[HPF] Ocsimano18 Players 3,476 posts 13,949 battles Report post #24 Posted August 12, 2020 I've just listened the entire interview on my way back home. It's not worth taking out a few lines out of context. They don't push esports, but they support worthy tournaments. This whole esport thing was pushed by the interviewer, who is interested in competitive play. The interview is wotth listening if you are interested in the point of view of the developers. There are no big discoveries or secrets. The gameplay news is that BBs and CAs will have means to annoy subs. Details in the upcoming devblog. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
