[R_N_G] Bindolaf_Werebane Players 1,387 posts 12,045 battles Report post #1 Posted December 11, 2021 Just a quick note. I realized I have played almost every day for three months or so. While I have some fun (obviously), the game is more frustrating than rewarding. Matchmaking is rigged to be an emotional roller coaster, ranked has been designed to make you play crap games for steel, loot box mechanics have become "more transparent" (with hidden mechanics still). I haven't spent a dime on the game, which is good. I decided this is the right time to leave. In the middle of loot-box bonanza. I will not be doing the dockyard, I will not be getting Repulse, I will not be getting the Santa Boxes that are upcoming, I will not get the (probably) Santa Boxes from Prime, I will let the rest of my month or so of free premium expire. I realized, exactly now is the time to leave, when FOMO would be highest. So, fare well (for now?) and take care of yourselves. Try to not succumb to the casino practices too much. Spend some time on other hobbies you like, spend some money on other games, or other things. Enjoy Christmas with your families. Bindolaf 32 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bindolaf The problem is not so much the game, but rather your perceptions thereof. Matchmaking will never be ideal for everyone, you do not need to gather all the steel from ranked but only play enough to make you feel comfortable - there is no race to collect all the steel other than you feeling a sense of loss if you don't. Steel will be around for a long time to come and if it takes you longer to collect enough for the next ship, so be it. Loot box mechanics transparency is a step in the right direction as you say. The way you're feeling at the moment is possibly brought about by you overindulging in the game and adopting the wrong attitude toward it. I partly blame the wincentricity of it all perhaps. All things in moderation. A rest might be exactly what you need before you return one day. That's the good thing about this, you can leave for a while and return later feeling much much better. Good luck. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did that. I quit over a year ago and came back last week. Been mostly playing arms race, some ranked and a bit of co op to knock snowflakes off and Im really enjoying it. I think when you play too much and you start losing you get so focused on what your team is doing that it affects both your mood and your abilities to play well. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AdmiralVonHacke Players 31 posts 1,278 battles Report post #14 Posted December 11, 2021 I don‘t know if I ever played a Game with such a pessimistic Forum-Playerbase. For me the Game is really Fine and this applies to Most Players that don‘t inhibit the forums. the Game clearly has it’s Problems as well as the Developer. I am Not Blind. But Overall this Game is a huge accomplishment. And it‘s clearly Not Pay to Win. I just wanted to bring this argument to the Forums. You are welcome to criticise anytime. But don‘t Take your subjective opinions as facts. just my 2 Cents (autocorrect Sucks big Time with a foreign Keyboard BTW 😁) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very often I found myself rarely actually getting to enjoy a tank or ship or aircraft "normally" and entirely on my own terms, purely because I kept getting side-tracked by a new event or mission. It's really important for players to try their best to identify what it is they want from a game and to enjoy what it is they have in it right now. There's always new gimmicks and modes tailored to get you playing the game in ways that you might not actually enjoy or for much more time that you wanted to play for. Ask yourself, do you really need that ship/tank/captain/commander/equipment/etc?, Are you enjoying this mode or would you prefer to play something else? Are you relaxed or does it feel like work? Do you actually want to play right now or would you have preferred to have stopped earlier? These cycles come around and around again, even myself who is aware of the above still sometimes get lured into an event or something that in truth I probably didn't care about but did it anyway, and did it to the point I was fed up with the game. Of those ships I thought I wanted and grinded for to get for free or because I thought I wanted them, I actually never or rarely play them, it was all pure stupidity on my part. There are a few ships in this game I enjoy and tbh you could take all the others away and I could ignore all the events and gimmicks and be more happy if I did. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
