So what, if anything has WG done that’s good ?.

[MadBadDave]

I’m usually and very justifiably always on WGs back, mirroring what a lot of readers reading this post think and say, and the mass exodus of ccs and the fake insincere apology (brought on to quell the unrest), clearly indicate a lot of issues.

 

So we all know the graphics are great and that it’s an addictive game  especially for those of us related to the forces previously etc, we could all list the negatives VERY easily but does anyone have any positives about WG ?

Fjords harbor is pretty.

The game is still free to play, with a lot of content. How many games out there last as long as WoT and WoWS with continuous dev ?

[Prophecy82]

Well, in the current patch they finally added indicators if skills are active. That was wanted by the players since cap-reeeework. 

Also I do like the idea of the personal challenges and I hope they build upon it and dont only use it as another distribution form of [FOTM] - Tokens.

2 supercontainers on your birthday is cool

1. The ports are great. More please.

2. The first commander skills rework that benefited cruisers so much, that was really good.

3. The original conception of the game without CVs or Subs was amazing. 

4. Many of the individual ships are beautiful and so much fun to play. 

5. The original AA concept was solid and it worked.

6. Operations were awesome.

 

there was a lot that was good. But unfortunately the devs made one stupid decision after another: halving the returns from operations, the idiotic CV ReWreck, the stupid second commander skills rework, the addition of subs, the changing of coop bots to super stupid bots, the removal of flags for achievements... the list just goes on and on.

To be honest, I am surprised how long this took. Giving useful info on the hud is very important to me at least. If they want to keep it simple for the newbies, fine. But at least give us an options like "USE FULL INFORMATION ON HUD" in settings...

[Camperdown]

It's the positives which keep me playing the game: 

- it's a good naval warfare game

- I love the historical ships

- graphics are awesome

- it's F2P if you want too and have some patience

- there are constant new developments, missions and content, even a bit too much

 

If I would think a bit more, I could probably come up with another few.

This is why the continuous  from WG annoys me so much.

 

Edit: the rewards are still pretty good.

Being able to recall commanders is great, being able to use custom trained captains on different class premium ships is pretty cool. I love the underwater scenery and how subs are handled mechanically. The celebration events can amass to a very generous amount of free goodies if one is well off ship wise. I'm really rediscovering lower tier gameplay, and am wondering if the T2 and T3 bots have been dialed up to be a bit smarter then the T4 and above bots. Love some of the ports, totally dig almost all the ships visuals. I like how upgrading, consumables and captain building are fairly simple still. Divving up is fun. Random being really random is the way I like it I think.

Was a while back, but that stealth fire change was a good thing, and very much needed.

The very fact that so many of us complainers are still about and playing their game says a lot ot me. Despite the fact their methods are sometimes questionable, they're obviously still doing a lot right, arguably more right than wrong.

Randomly google pics from the town I grew up (from the county offical page actually). Picture 2 is taken on top of the center mountain, looking towards the left of this picture.

 

 

Also randomly googled pic: This is the view from the mountain you see above in the center of the picture. Its not connected to the others, so one get a nice view in all direction. The town in above is out side the view on the left side. Had the picture been rotated towards my home town, One might see the Jostedal Glacier on a good day.

 

edit: I was on that top in 2018 latest. Takes ~3h up for a person out of shape. For the record I don't live there now, but on the coastal area. Still fjords everywhere, just not so high mountains.

I’d like to see dock yard events free, especially given the regularity of them,  the grinds aren’t hard but they’re not easy and time consuming,  how many would’ve gone for D7P if it had been free to grind or even half what they charged?.

 

Fjords is undeniably pretty but even WG screw it up by automatically switching you to their latest port.

Agreed,  it seems that WG take an aspect of the game that works perfectly and that we have no issue with and then totally screws said aspect up and then takes ages to correct their own mess.

Don’t you mean more wrong than right 😉 yes we play and moan like there’s no tomorrow (because we genuinely care about the game we like and see it being managed by a bunch of money grabbing morons).

 

If there was a viable alternative I have no doubt WG would actually listen to what we said and shoot themselves in the foot a lot less.

It's a case of glass half full or galss half empty I reckon, haha. There are numerous things I think adversely affect the quality of the game, however, the overall experience is still overwhelmingly enjoyable for me. When it changes I'll leave. Ultimately though, anyone still playing the game is supporting WG, whether they argue otherwise or not. Really is that simple.

[MadBadDave]

Yes, but what have WG done this year to improve the game and your enjoyment of it ?.

 

I've just played 5 brawls, all losses 3 in a cruiser and 2 in BB's, in all 5 I came top,  the latest and last is below;

 

Now WG brings us modes like dual, brawl, convoys etc, but have they done anything about the pure levels of stupidity by adopting a better game intro, or by balancing, or by improving MM ; NO !!!!!!!.

 

You'll notice a Kaga survived, Richi got the kills,but it's KAGA that did the damage (43k to me alone), and whilst I'd sunk the Eugen and Richi, the kaga remained concealed launching torp attack after torp attack, what chance of winning when you're team mates have the same IQ as a WG manager or "EVERY" WG developer and a premium cv with limitless planes, BTW Kaga has a amazing concealment, so by the time I'd found him I'd have been long sunk.  The Map; 2 brothers, a turkey shoot for a CV !!!!!!!!!.

 

Richi set me a light, during our duel, the constant torpping and bombing from Kaga did the damage (43K), which is why Richi had my kill.

 

Ask MR WG and you'll get the same ANAL response, the stats say this was totally Balans,   BOLOX

 Cool, Nibenay78, I'm from another place that has fjords (British Columbia). Our fjords have taller & very steep mountains - the hikes to the top would take all day. Fjords is my most favourite port screen (even if not quite 'BC').

Well art is decent enough the new ui is a step in the right direction even if it needs some polish, some minor stuff I like like personal challenges and such aaand thats about it

[Deckeru_Maiku]

Positive?

• often enjoyable battles... even though there's streaks of painful ones, too, but it's still slightly more enjoyable ones
• still some ways to dodge subs (missions/CoOp/Low tier)
• if one just wants to spend some time, just going for some mindless bot slaughtering, without having to bother about anything too much, this game is still great. Competitive... not so much

So yeah, I'll stay a bit longer...
