They seem to address every point of concern. No words about subs though.

In any case it is a change from other previous messages from WG.

Well well,

 

I've never seen this kind of statement from WG before. Hummm, Their money spreadsheet is not meeting expectations, interesting. 

 

Looks like everything has come to a head and the top brass are getting involved now. Shows how bad the state of affaires were between the players and WG. That "PEGI" problem has gone to the top and they have stood up and listened.

 

No mention of subs? Silent denial straight the way which isn't a good start.

 

Are they are being sincere in the slightest?  Lets see....Lets see.

 

If I was a gambling man, then I would say no going off the odds and it's same old same old. 

[Atorpad]

It is still the same. Just change of tactics 

If they wanted to change simply they would put missouri in direct sale !!!!!

There is saying in my country "Wolf repentance is death".......

They are just trying to win CCs back

[Ronchabale]

They didn´t mention subs..

As far as I know just about everyone is against having them in the game

Very strange

@Taschkent_ seems like peegee, uploaded something.

I am against having anything/anyone starting with "sub" in the game.

It is not yet sincere. 

On monetisation they will comply with the law. Yeah, right, we know how that works.

[DerpyMcDoom]

I tried to read it but when I do all I seem to get instead are really loud fart noises in my head? Anyone else getting this issue?

I think it's time we took the PEGI rating to someone who is familiar within the Worlds of Tank community. Also rated 7+. Anyone got an interesting lead overthere?

I don't particularly like the guy, he felt insincere pretty often, but I do think he actually has a thing against lootboxes so I wonder why you would specifically exclude him? ( haven't watched anything of him recently so maybe/probably I'm missing something? )

 

Orzanel is a streamer I wouldn't approach about this because he did publicly state already he doesn't blame WG since there are mobile games with much worse marketing and mechanics. 

[Taschkent_]

I find the approach extremely good. It sounds like openness and transparency. 

I have three questions for for the Developers:

 

1. But it almost sounds like there are different droprates and/or different mechanics for different regions - depending on the law?
2. Also, China is just one region. Is it the main problem behind there being such a delay or are there other regions that also influence this?
3. Especially under the point of summer sales, I have the feeling that there is some confidence trick going on there - quote:" If something like this happens again, we will offer a refund to all affected players."  That means something like "we can't rule out the possibility of it happening again" Can you make a statement on this? 

I would be very grateful.

 

[Camperdown]

I will wait and see for a while. See how far their new resolve carries them.

Colour me sceptical for the moment.

Looking at it from the bright side: it is at least a welcome change from before. Let's see.

[hgbn_dk]

Seen this before talk but no actions. Don't have any hopes up for this one.... Sorry WG. But I have lost any confidence you speaking the truth. To many broken promises in the past to believe you're speaking the truth now.

[Pametrada]

You would think that Messrs. Bardovsky and Lisak might have demonstrated their goodwill by putting the Missouri up for straight sale - but of course no action in that matter. All talk and no walk. WG is in a bad place for a company - one where it simply isn't liked any more, and that is an enormous hill to climb back up.

[acecel]

No concrete and immediate action in this statement (which took them 1 week or more to write), only a bunch of words from PR.

It's pretty clear that they don't plan to do anything to fix all the issues the game currently has (like subs) and never will.

 

And all the stupid excuse regarding the fact they can't display drop chance right now but only next year, so 6-18 months to show a bunch of numbers they already have ... I can see only one reason they would try not to share theses numbers and it's a really bad one ...

 

I had already lost all trust in the company but this message has made it even worse, which i would not think to be possible. 

Don't let them convince you with a few words and some form of excuse (if we can even say that as they never did admit doing anything wrong ..), they already did the same thing so many time already and each time they broken theirs promises.

 

It's really sad because the game is (was) good, and there is a wonderful community of players that care about it, but they decided to only be driven by money while completely ignoring theirs customers.

Pretty much this.

 

Apart from no mention of submarines, the statement does a reasonable job of addressing the key issues that we're mostly annoyed about; that said, it is just that - a statement - all we can do is wait and see if that statement translates into real meaningful action.

 

I won't be holding my breath, but WG may pleasantly surprise us. I have to say, I'm rather surprised to see even this statement - perhaps their income really has taken a kicking? I suppose it's possible that WG realise that they might make more money if they act a little less like incorrigible Richards?

Amazing WG. In the future you promise to offer refunds if you get caught breaking consumer laws again? What a nice company.

 

Also I had to laugh at the part where they said the best way for feedback is to be constructive and well mannered. These guys literally ignored the constructive feedback for years and only now after the community was on fire they felt the need to actually adress the raised concerns. Good job WG you actually proved that the opposite is the case, the only way to get you to give a damn is to create a massive shitstorm.

 

 

I guess its nice that they actually wrote an apology and tried to adress the issues but my expierence with this company prevents me from believing anything they post until its actually done.
They have lost the last shreds of my trust years ago, they have promised to do better dozens of times before and nothing ever happened so I'm not holding my breath.

I'm very torn between these two reactions, I really want to give WG the benefit of the doubt on one side.... and surely it does read nicely even if you have this nagging feeling of heaving heard it all before in some form or another. (ed: btw didn't want to crowd forum with full quotes so I put them in spoilers ). 

 

Then you scroll through flamu's responses and go like: mhm that nagging feeling seems to be contagious.

Waiting for actual actions, sick and tired of WeeGees "words".

Drop rates. We plan to publish all drop rates for all Containers and Random Bundles, and are already working on it. It will take some time, but our hard commitment is that it will happen over the course of next year.

A year?!!

.... dont make me larf... you telling us that you are going to need a YEAR to "work out" your drop rates?

THIS is the sort of blatant BS that gets you a bad name...

Apart from a few delusional optimists, I can't imagine too many people are reading WG's statement and reacting with words to the effect of "yay, they've said sorry, and everything will be rainbows and sunshine henceforth".

 

I really, really want WG to stop being utter, utter and this statement does address the key areas of concern (apart from bloody submarines), but we can only wait and see if words turn into deeds, and the right deeds to boot.

 

I can assure the forum that my failure to run naked through the streets of Toronto before now will be addressed this very night, but that doesn't mean it's going to happen. Words are just that. I'll permit myself a modicum of hope that WG may *finally* pull their finger out and suck marginally less, but I won't *expect* it. Of course, they may surprise us, but a pessimist is never disappointed...
