[PETITION & POLL] WG is planning to move "Arms Race" battles into normal gaming (possibly even in upcoming WoWs v0.11.4) - please do not do that !!!

Dont really care anymore tbh, going strictly ftp and with my new position as a departement head I wont miss randoms much…

[KratosTheUnforgiving]

It's WG, doesn't matter what polls say, doesn't matter what spreadsh!te says, they don't listen and go ahead with whatever money making scam they can come up with.

Perfect example is the latest nerfs and buffs, subs get another buff, sub detection paid lip service and Russians get improved tweaks, while other nations get nerf'd.

WG Business as usual, deaf, dumb and blind !

Not a big fan of Arms Race, but it replaces Epicenter which is IMO even worse, so I guess I'm fine with it.

[TruePhoenix]

pff, they can and will do what they want.

 

As long as it doesn't cost me money.....

[Onsterfelijke]

Atlast something different standard and domination gets boring playing those all the time. I wonder how this works in Coop maybe the bots are beter in this?

Hi all,

 

Here is the last (IIRC) article from WG about "Arms Race" late last year:

 

 

"Main page News General News Arms Race in Update 0.10.10"

In essence:

I didn't vote because you left out an important piece of information: Arms Race replaces Epicentre. And to me, that is ALWAYS worth it. I f*cking hate Epicentre and I think most players do.

There is an issue when an alternate gamemode starts to compete with random battles for popularity. Random battles are great because you could get uptiered by two whole tiers, motivating you to perform certain actions to progress higher in the tiers. If arms race became a permanent gamemode, this would not be a good idea for obvious reasons.

 

Therefore arms race will be implemented in random battles so that you can enjoy certain motivational mechanics at work that would not exist if arms race was just a battle between two tiers (or even one tier) of ships.

Imagine Schlieffens with more HP, constant HP restoration and MAX of +30% damage for secondaries...

 

Or imagine CVs with more HP, constant HP restoration and MAX of +30% for airplane damage...

 

And last but not least, imagine Tier X submarines (practically nuclear powered beasts) going underwater and just surfacing to collect Buffs, plus more HP, constant HP restoration and MAX of +30% for torpedo damage...

@Leo_Apollo11 Yeah, everything becomes busted with buffs. That is true. Arms race basically suffers from the same problem as T11 ships: It amplifies the skills of the player, either positive or negative, creating even harder steamrolls.
