WoWs Becomes More and More Boring Grinding Game

[shogano]

Hi,

 

i played the game for fun the last few years, but the last time the game becomes more and more boring and annoying.

There are TOO many tasks to be done. And most of them are puerley BORING grinding stuff to be made in CO-OP or you never cant get them. Random battles to get victory on about 300 ships. NO way !

 

- Clan Battles

- Ranked Battles

- Shipyard

- Campaign

- Time based Campaign

- Birthday Event

- Transformers Event

- Moon Festival

- New US Battleships Event

- aso

 

One is over one or two new ones starts

 

Mostly at the same time and mostly PURE BORING grinding. Thats to much WG. People who like the game dont like PURE grinding ! Its impossible to play random because the people only play for grinding their tasks and not for winning the game.

 

But thats maybe more easy to earn money instead of watching the community, and think about the players.

 

REWORK ship types.

 

Else hf and bye WG

Then do not do the tasks you find boring.

Focus on what is fun for you.

[SV_Kompresor]

Grinding is the general idea behind most MMOs yes, nothing wrong with that. Though I do agree that it wouldn't hurt to have a 1 month break from all the events every once in a while.

[Lebedjev]

Why people find themself oblige to do event ?

[DFens_666]

I would like to see, how randoms would be without this constant grindind and doing stupid missions. Maybe that would be an insight, if or how many players are deliberately playing like crap to make headway on their missions...

People like to achieve things in life, even though much of the rewards are really not that good.

I've noticed that doing naval battles on weekend can be very frustrating and depending on task required can be against game objectives and affects my gameplay too much sometimes (in a bad way).

In life you can even achieve many more things, but no sane person tries it all.

Personally, i found very amusing the event of summer 2019 where you could play a battle royale torpedo match against enemy destroyers only. It was so much fun, they could implement a battle royale 3 vs 3 vs 3 vs 3 mode into the game.. just adding 2/3 alternative kinds of battle could be a way to revamp the fun.

[Captain_Newman]

They are overdoing it a bit, but nobody's forcing you to participate in everything. You also exaggerated some things a bit: the Transformers event is just - log in, get tokens, get bundles, done. There was some combat missions for it too but they're of the "just play the game and they do themselves" kind of thing.

 

So, Transformers are completely ignorable, Anchorage grind does have some boring missions but is generally easy, birthday event - didn't exactly feel like complaining about 32 SC's, 2 of which dropped ships, ranked - got some easy steel at start, couldn't be arsed to do more so I didn't, time based campaign - it's been out for ages now, I came back after my break a few weeks ago and already have it done, new permanent campaign - no time limit, so no pressure, etc etc.

 

You don't need to grind everything in a day, or at all. I didn't want to skip out on that special EU captain so I focused mainly on that because it was time gated. Also wanted Anchorage but like I said, directives are easy (and the time frame to do them in fairly generous). Just focus on the stuff you want most, ignore the rest. It can't become your second job if you don't let it.

And people really need to stop complaining about free rewards on wins for every ship they own; the best rewards are only on t10, anyway. That was 32 for me. I did it in 2-3 days, randoms for ships I felt like playing, coop for the rest to speed it up. Why you feel like you're missing out if you only grind the supercontainers and not necessarily every single camo and flag that is on offer is beyond me. But please, keep complaining about the manner in which free rewards are given, I'm sure wg would happily nuke or reduce them altogether.

the savage mode and the halloween mode where both a lot of fun

need to have more events like that instead of more dockyards and base xp grinds 

really hope they bring back savage mode

When you have "all" ships and see everything on the game it's boring. I play with my clan mates and we did some yolo/fun game and that not boring, Wows is a game just try having fun then or do the same things everytime. 

 

[FlyingBender]

you can choose

[Beastofwar]

We have enough new ships.....i don't object to more though but it is a lack of new permanent modes ( enviroment for the ships ) that will make me stop playing eventually. Both PvE and PvP.

 

WG is betting on throwing in new mechanic ships in randoms to "ruffle up the meta"  is enough to provide variation. That is not so. Randoms "meta" is far from enjoyable to be in. That is why i use CV in them so much : cannot be mass focussed by a wall of camping enemies when moving foreward, cannot be burned down to the waterline and no need to camp.

[lossi_2018]

I just keep it for sentimental reasons.

I rarely play as well, grind killed the game not because I go after it but because everyone else does. A chaos every time is boring.

Only divisions survive this.

They should have killed em while they had the chance and helped gameplay a bit, now most solos are gone so it is pointless imo. There's no saving I'm afraid and it is sad cuz I really liked the game for years.

Let's all be thankful that WeeGee provides many opportunities for us skip those boring grindy bits of the game. All you need is a simple credit card, use that (honestly; forgot to mention) and all your problems vanish and the game once again becomes fully enjoyable.

 

 

In truth it's not the grinding that makes the events boring, though. It is the monotonous drudgery of gameplay in general, the lack of variety and dumbing down of the game that are at fault here.

[MRGTB]

There are a few too many grinds all going at the same time right now. You have the Dockyard grind still on-going yet, plus now the new USA Battleship grind as well. I've been doing the dockyard grind, which is first time I've ever bothering doing that to get the ship prize for free. I'm not wasting time trying to do the other new Battleship one as well with it.

 

 

Thing is though! Nobody is forcing anyone to do any of these grinds. You can simply just ignore them all and play the game as usual.

[lovelacebeer]

Here in the UK the government are running a campaign called “When the Fun Stops, Stop” (Although it’s in relation to gambling it works well regarding gaming) and that’s pretty much the attitude I have with WOWS. 
 

Play because it’s fun, the second it’s a grind it’s not worth the effort. I’m always happy for new content I am more than capable of choosing for myself what is worth pursuing.

You do not have a sense of humor of any recognizable sort Pete.

Yes, game is becoming too grindy, and UI is still sh*t to show it all neatly.

 

Take my advice; ignore the grind. Tbh. the only thing I do go for is daily containers to get coal. Been doing like that for the last year or so. Grind annoyance dropped down to zero.

[quickr]

Grind is state of mind.

Of course you will feel overwhelmed if you come into the game with "I got to have it all and I got to have it now!" mindset. But that is not WGs fault, it's yours.
WG is offering you options, it's up to you to maximize your game play time to get most reward out of it but at the same time have fun. Well, "fun" with heavy quotations. But that is another topic.
