Bot invasion starting in 5.... 4... 3...

Well, that's a poorly though-out concept and idea if I ever saw one.  

  

Totally not going to promote botting or rigging, not at all.  

  

If you were to promote te recruiting station, so much better ways to do it (double points for recruits in a certain window: both new and existing, remove the points-cap for recruiters so they can go beyond 1500/week,...)

 

 

This is just fail.

This is not the first time they did it.

The previous time the lower tier games were flooded with bots sailing around in german cruisers.

 

Fun fact: those bots had pretty decent winrates, close to 50%.

So you want me to lie to friends about this game being worth their time?

 

You want me to introduce friends to a game with dishonest developers that lie to the player base?

 

You want me to introduce friends to a game where the battles are getting quicker and quicker and worse and worse due to imbalanced teams?

 

In return for lying to my friends and introducing them to this broken mess of a game you will give me £1.41 per person 

 

I'm not going to lie, that would make me a vile friend. Your recruiter program could be a name and shame hall of fame of people who screwed their mates for £1.41 of in game crap...

[rvnson]

Make it better(fun) to play with friends and then maybe i would recruit them (matchmaker, gamemodes).

 

With current state of the game i would feel like a cheap prostitute if i recommended(tricked) the game for my friends.

Thats why they have a anti-bot check. Try something else, like having your dog play ;)

I have 3 dogs so I can make £4.23 in gold. That's not even the cost of one of their meals.

 

My dogs have a daily allowance of £5 each for treats and toys ffs.

 

The reward is less than my dogs daily pocket money. WG generosity is off the charts 

[GoneFishingAgain]

Remove CVs, forget about subs... and I'll think about it

[H_Juergen]

A good product doesn't need advertisement  (it's automatically recommended, because quality is appreciated; and newcomers stay for the same reason)

But since these unprecedented rewards are issued... In a time when people tend to play anyway...

Should we worry? Is the current player pool... fading??

Yes , that is the reason why I do not spend money on geme, simply because I have no faith that in deacade game will exist , look at statistics how many players play game , WG in best case is on 0 , face it only game that give WG profit is WOT , I am will stay 99% with game for next 4 years , then I will retire , buy home in Spain some properties for passive income , and I will play with real boat , and now is it wort to spend 600kr(60$) on ship in game ? , I know if I would start spending cash on ships , I done some math ,and with all I would want (db&ships), I wolud need to spend 40.000kr(4.000$) or I can save 4k$ and spend it on fuel for real boat in 4 years...

It's going to really suck being a genuinely new player during this promotion.

 

If you play solo you'll get wrecked against re-rolled alts taking advantage, or let down by [REDACTED] bot farmers in German light cruisers.

 

If you play with your recruiter, because your recruiter gets extra points but tells you "it'll be fine" you'll be immediately dragged out of your protected new player-only matchmaking into the general pool, to be dumped on by filthy seal clubbers and/or 2 CV matches.

 

A system that rewards recruiters rather than recruits is simply asking for trouble. But then virtual rewards cost no money whereas actual advertising does.

[Maris_Piper]

What would I say to convince them that after a day or so they'd be playing a low tier ship with No AA against Two aircraft carriers that were built 20 years after their ships had been scrapped to convince them they were having fun Show them a ing Spreadsheet?

I can tell what you  shouldn't do , help them play few games , show how all works ... yesterday in 5 h I went with my buddy to T5 (still did not get reword...) , and you know that first few games are in randoms filled with bots , so I played a game I made 10 kills , now that MF have 10 kills , my record in game is 8 kills on Musashi , then 7 on Clemson ... 

(BTW that show also diffrence with 52% player "ME" , and newbies I got 1350 base xp , all other human players got combined 1455 base xp ... I saw face of my buddy after he got to T5 , I dont know if he will play game again , really WG need to go RPG mode and present levels for players , otherwise I cant really see game to grown. BTW/BTW if WG will use RPG mechanics that my idea , I want be payed in db...)

I can not find any one who wants to play World of Warships. I play 3 other games with full clans with active players ( 480 players ) 

 

I asked the people I have sent invitations to why this was. I got some very negative answers.

 

Anyway ~~ I will keep trying

Honestly I have few people interested in playing , but problem is that they are busy making money and game require a loot of time , honestly if I had make money in other way I could not afford to play game , and other thing 90% procent people that I show game go for US battleships and they are cool , unitil you play one , honestly paste of game sometime can be problem one person said after playing game "I felt like my life run away from me" , that was comment after playing texas at my account , she did not enjoyed that , the only fun class to play by new player is destroyers , but until you meet cv in game , and then is grind to T10 ,and you need more then one T10 , and that can cost money, time & frustration to get there , my buddy was interested in Halland but after he realized how much time that would take for him , he asked if he can buy Halland ,no , there is a ship that you can buy , Småland , but you need free xp for it = you need to spend playing 2.000.000xp time to could convert to free xp, oh yes he could buy Blyskawica , Orkan or Freisland , but problem is he want Swedish ship , and also reality playing in T5  was too much for him , so I am almost sure he wont return to game .

 

World of Warships biggest problem is that is just too much everything , for new player , no one want to stay behind , but when you join game , you are far far behind , and nothig cant change that , economy of game is just mess , people who designed game just not predict all issues that game have right now , and there is no way to repair game , if I ever would be fortune that I had enough money to buy wows , I would rather hire team and develep new game with simpler economy, so when you joing game would not matter.

The game is old and nothing really new was added to gameplay in a really long time.

Sure: new branches, cv and the joke that are the subs but its the same thing.

Once you arrive at tier 8-10 nothing changes: access to special missions, special equipment, game modes like solo campaigns ... Nothing

From tier 1 to 10 its all: get in, random people random ships, loose 10-15min, start again ...

Dopamine addiction ...

I feel you lately game have get bit depressing , when I started game I played reckles dd for fun , I had usless wr46% , then I get in love woth game , I lerned how to shoot , how to play cruisers , started playing ranked I started unlocked T10 Republique  , raised 750.000free xp and got Musashi I get better in game  wr48% , then I unlocked more T10 Gearing , Seattle and I got T10 coal Salem , then I play , unlock T10 , Ranked ,play,unlock,ranked gather coal+steel , I got Smolensk,Thunderer,Yoshino,Benham ,my win rate went up to 52% , my best ranked was 5 rank and sprint several times 1 , now I unlocked all 10 but soviet dd both T8, US alternetibe bb line T8,US cv T4 , german CV T6 , I got Alaska with free xp that I gathered in game , I have now 7.484 steel , 135.875 coal , next wih cupon will be Moskva of Pommren and I can sadly say , I am not in love with game anymore , I dont love game anymore , now I am at stage of old couple , I dont care about my wr , I stoped playing ranked , because that have no sence (I stoped gathering steel) so what I get high caliber as often I am second and stay at some rank because i am often teamed with morons and sadly I am not good enought to carry whole team ,so i am basicly everyday in game because ... why ? that I dont know , there are other games that lately I would play , but wows is only game that dont force a loot of attention , and with my "professional" life that is blessing  , and I am tired with all those WG hit and miss ideas , is so difficoult to produce new capaign every 6 months ? , new missions every 2-3 months ? , there was so many good modes in game , like april fools 2019 torpedo beat mode , or benham event , even submarine 2019 halloween event was blast , why not make such things  just a another feature of game ?  , simply make game fun ? , why not make ranked T2 ,T3,T4 (with bots...) why not involve those ships in "directives" too , I honestly lately , just give up playing a loot I just go take secondary build graf zeppelin go to co-op , set her on autopilot , my captain had 3 point when started , now have 15 ,and , GZ is blast in co-op sometimes I just look how he get 80k dmg , sunk 4 kills , and that give me more plasure than just another very old random game , that made destroyers annoying to play , because you have 60-80% chance to get in game with cv , and 50-50 chance that he will expose you close to cap and you will get shrade to pieces by rocket planes & or a radar cruiser with assist , and of course 70% time you have no cover because all players care more about lemminging or are just affraid cap , because it burns ... so yes I feel burn out with game lately ... those "Little Nightmares" start to look better and better every day...

Just wondering: a lot of people have mentioned the German cruisers being ideal for bot farmers in this event; what is it about the Germans that make them so appealing for that? Asking for a friend...

Dunno , but WG bots for players in game would not be such bad idea , not random but co-op , so you could just set them in loop , playing in one ship , grinding lines , captains and free xp , yeah I relize that WG would never do something like that , because their strategy of making money of the game is tireing players with grinding ... but I can dream , have 2-3 bots that go to game grinding ships , all would be connected and cotrolled by your mobile device mobile , so you could go to job or spend some time with family ( how swell would have 3 days christmas without working/grinding in wows ;P) , or bots can do some tasks in co-op ,and player would be allways connected to game ...and player istead of having teribble time could have fun playing ships he /she love to play ..

 

(BTW WG you could rent those bots for DB like 5.000db per moth per one , I think there would be many players interested in that kind of thing...)

(BTW/BTW game hireing bots are my idea so , I want be payed in db if you use it) 

[lovelacebeer]

There is no way I would inflict this game on any of my friends the way it's going.

 

 I introduced a couple of dozen friends to the game back when it first came out and the CV rework drove them all off, now with the looming prospect of a equally botched sub implementation why on earth would I do that to someone I consider a friend?
