New maps, when?

[ThePurpleSmurf]

Playing the same maps over and over and over for years. The current maps, especially at high tier, became one of the most boring parts of the game. Not only are the maps old AF, but many are STILL bugged where you get stuck on an island like 3 km away from shore and crap like this. How long ago is it that we got a new map? Like closing in on 3 years or is it already longer than that? Whenever a new ship line comes out 2 (at least) new maps should be released with it, one for ship tier up to 6 and a map for tier 7 to 10.

there is barely half new map coming in next years updates ... 

 

i am looking forward to High resolution updating of the current maps ...

 

they seems different and high quality :D

 

also it is not a bug , it is just a unneeded part of island beneath the water , its just a game so WG should cut them ... many players find them annoying a lot .

 

you can check it with subs under water ...

You cant sell new maps.

let us see how long it will take for any staff member to respond ...

It will be interesting to see if and when we get the one promised new map this year. I know WG said there was a possibility there could be a second map (but it’s WG I set my expectations exceedingly low). 
 

The map issue is just another wonderful aspect of the glorious submarine project, not only are many of the maps still bugged with random submerged obstacles but it’s why we don’t get new maps. 

[Panocek]

Given recent announcement entire game development is uncertain, let alone getting new maps

[Onsterfelijke]

I expect no new maps for atleast 4 months untill they have resolve the split.

That is very good point... we still have no idea how will the development of WoWs continue now that all ties are severed with Lesta in St. Petersburg Russia... time will tell...

Old maps, when?

[JohnMac79]

Maps are literally the lowest priority for WG because there is no money to be made from them. I wouldnt expect to see a single one this year, and i would be surprised if we see one next year.

 

They just announced they are expecting to lose money, which means every opportunity to put some crap in the premium store will be top of the list. SuperCV, subs, SupportCV, these will be what they will be aggressively pushing, wouldnt be a surprise if they push subs to the server quicker now regardless of how dumb they are.

 

I would genuinely not expect any new maps before 2024.

ROFLMAO yeah I seriously doubt that, they might perhaps expect for their profit margin to go down and the situation will be ripe for letting some of the balast go if they at any point actually expected to LOSE MONEY everything WOWS would already be in the shutdown the servers mode...

I mean. Moving a company out of a country isn't exactly a profitable thing, now is it?

They will lose out on a portion of revenue and incur a big cost in the immediate term, but the future of the company to grow elsewhere on the international front is secured.

That depends on what exactly are they moving. Do we even know exactly how many things are going to change and how?

Moving out what exactly? Board of directors? WOWS EU, SEA and NA is run on the respective servers that are already outside RU and Belarus as well as staff maintaining them, if they dont intend to add new content they literally dont need Lesta or WG central for anything anymore besides they can move few devs out to Cyprus and do it from there if they didnt do that already...

You're right. If they "dont intend to add new content" as you put it. I somehow doubt that the current update is going to be the final one.

Well I think the China server kinda shows what is likely to happen, WOWS will prob be “frozen in time” for all non CIS users for the forseable future, weather they continue adding content there and for how long IDK

Asia server is the same as EU/ NA.

The Chinese server however is frozen in time (3-4 years?)as the CVs are still RTS style over there.

Doubtful as there is far less content to be monetized that way...

Ahh... I see... RGR...

 

BTW, do we know how many players are there on CHINA server (that is "frozen in time")?

Maybe @El2aZeR knows he used to play RTS CVs there a while back, he might still hang around...

As far as WoWS is concerned, probably the development will go to a new studio, whether that means some existing staff moving across or not is a different matter.

I doubt it'll be economically viable to develop content for the RU server only, if anything it might be in reverse, content developed for EU/NA/Asia, but not made available to RU.

If i read that announcement correctly, WG licensed WOWS to Lesta, which means Lesta has now full control over WoWS.
