Very generous of WG indeed.........

[totally_potato]

........actually, wtf?

 

 

Did WG say this, or is this fake, or another fake assurance?

[KratosTheUnforgiving]

WW1, Dreadnoughts/pre-Dreadnoughts, with no carriers, no submarines, no radar. Work on that game mode right now.

Who was around for Alpha or Beta? Back then (in NA, at least), WoWS had a map contest & the reward was a T2 premium - the Diana, I believe.

WoWS got something like 200 submissions so, I suppose, they've now deigned to let us peons  produce one new map.

Interestingly sub-O has played a whopping 4 battles on his own game 

He should have one of his minions play his account at least 2K games for some street cred 

 

On topic though, would be nice if they would do these things. Perhaps the recent mess has breached their echo chamber sufficiently for WG to do some nice stuff for their players. It will probably not last long, but hey!

this never happens. As WOT will never divide trees/gameplay into until WW2 and After WW2 vehicles

[SV_Kompresor]

Yaaay. So after more than 2 and a half years, we might actually get a new map

Back in the days we'd organize training rooms and reenact historical battles as closely as possible.. 

 

This game had such a loyal and knowledgeable playerbase concerning naval engagements, it was a great time!

Is this an answer or an add?

Welp that explains why CV's had to be made easier to play

Damned if you, damned if you don't. If we decide to make players part of the process it's commented on as "now we peons are supposed to produce new maps", if we don't involve you it's said that we don't care about player feedback. Please don't do this, you mostly hurt your own impact on the game with making such statements. I personally think it's a great opportunity if you care about the game to have some impact on its development.

It's correct information shared by Sub_Octavian on the NA forums to address some pain points shared over there.

Hopefully so crys, hopefully so

Its been a while 

Subs, CVs, etc etc are really pulling me tiny little legs here, so some actually new and nice content for once is a nice change

Wait...

 

Do you REALLY think you can convince people here they can have an influence? Really? Honestly? 

 

After what you've done for YEARS with your testers and CC's telling you stuff and you telling us that spreadsheet knows best? Don't, please don't. 

 

edit: not with a map, who cares ffs about those empty gestures ( well it's 'nice' but it's NOTHING compared with the real issues ).

[King_Of_The_Potatoes]

Question for you @Crysantos can you explain why Sub will do Q&A on other regional forums but seems it not neccersary to answer any of our questions on here one to one. Why do we have to make do with screenshots or links to other forums. Is the EU community deemed to troublesome?

Well, personally I would love to believe that WG has turned a corner and truly wants to listen to and work with the player community.

 

However, I hope you understand that it will take time, some serious effort from WG and consistent credibility of WG actions before the implosion of WG credibility and reputation will even begin to be reversed. 

 

I am struggling to find polite words, but let me phrase it like this: WG actions have been less than satisfactory of late. In view of the track record, I will judge by your actions, not by your words.

I understand but I also have to say that not everything is that black and white. Subs have gone through many changes, based on feedback and we continue working on CVs, see the change to attack aircrafts recently. But there are several areas we need to improve in and we're working on it.

Hi, there's no bad intention there. NA is currently understaffed with both Hapa and Kalvothe leaving the team, so other teams are helping out - including Sub_Octavian. He shared some additional insights than we could here so far and I agree that this isn't great - the information should be available in all regional forums. But this has nothing to do with "EU bad" or anything :) We confirmed the information here and I think we'll be able to share some digest about upcoming changes in a more structured way in the foreseeable future.

Yes, I do - but the question is to what degree. See the removal of Dead Eye, buffing of Secondary skills, changes to attack aircraft, working and testing plenty of new modes - recently Grand Battles, now Convoy mode. I'm not saying that everything is awesome, we have to work on a lot of things and we made far too many mistakes in the past months. It's bad and we're working very hard internally to tackle them but this is a big beast. I'm not here to raise false hopes but this is what I can tell you here.

 

Sub shared some things in context with comments on the NA forums with when and how we want to address these pain points.

We will see, I think it's hard to meet everybody's expectations. Let's see what actions we can take and if we can restore some of the faith.

I find it odd that the community’s most requested new game mode was kept under wraps until 1-4 months before it launches, but other than that, looks good!

What people want to hear is when there will be a Q&A with @Sub_Octavian on EU forums, not why it has not happened yet. It would be a very positive thing just to see the engagement take place here, instead of forcing EU players to play games on NA server just to get direct interaction.

Thank you for being honest, I really appreciate that. This I think ties well into the first paragraph, I have nothing against the CM team here there are good people there, but the CM team on EU is taking all the flack because there hasn't been any direct interaction possible for a long time. In fact I've said this before, but other than the lack of actual engagement, EU forum has gotten way more leeway in displaying their lack of trust in the company as the other forums and for that we only have the EU CM team to thank for.

 I would really start with getting out of the line of fire and let @Sub_Octavian himself carry that weight.

The problem with all the game modes is, that nothing of it ever makes it in the core game. 

Just another event... 

 

While Im all in to test new modes.... its just time limited and never seen again. 

Why not have an arms race all 20 Battles or so? 

[Cirno9999]

i wish there will be a return of night battles on lower tiers xD
