Oink! Or how over 2 years of thinking, designing, prototyping and testing resulted into this gem of gameplay design for PVP

[Mad_Dog_Dante]

 

TLDR; 2 subs in clan DIV chase my BB to map border and throw the match just to grief. We won, they got to sink a tier 8 BB together which took them over 6 action packed thrilling minutes. Well done :P

 

Anyone of you devs explain to me, how over 2 years of brainstorming, thinking, designing, prototyping and testing resulted into this gem of gameplay design for a PVP title? What is the thinking behind this?

 

Thanks.

But, but, but... you're playing a battleship. So you must have had fun playing Battleship clicking random coordinates hoping to hit something you don't see, you know, like in the boardgame, right? We got your fun covered, mate. - WG's spreadshit.

And they "great" thing is, the sonar pings are going to be even harder to spot AND be inaccurate. No one can have too much RNG, right?

I mean, submarine interaction is literally WG telling you to go play this

 

Which if I'd like playing that I would actually go play that instead of WoWS, because as simple as that game is WG sucks at comparing to it.

Pffft. You are not having fun cause you are border humping. Anyone knows it is CV's job not BB's.

Erm..... comrade.....I already told you. Don't question the wisdom of the "great ones".

 

All you need to know is that pressing G is a source of great joy and fun I don't know what that is but...... it seems to be already predefined, predetermined and premeasured.

 

Just...

The reports were accurate since they were reported for playing badly lol.

This is fascinating, they are too stupid to do damage to you, so they waste 20 minutes of your time, you do not have the tools to do damage to them, because wargaming does not want you to, so you can't damage them either. This is about as fun as watching paint dry while eating glass and watching a video of your dog dying on repeat.

Good job even hitting them at all. 

That did not look fun. It didn't even look interesting.

wdym, it's super interesting, valuable insight in the human psyche, someone in belarus can watch this specific video and say wow, I would love to spend my free time doing exactly that.

[Andrewbassg]

Btw....

 

 

This is the second most liked thread this whole month. And was posted two days ago. The most liked was that in which  was announced the "separation"

 

And the difference is less then 100.....

Fixed.

Had the same on arms race. 2 subd chased me (Satsuma), kille dme while all of our team annihilated theirs and entered the middle cap and we won.

 

Great ! Right?

Latest changes made a little bit difference IMO. Experience comes from PTS.  A little bit.

The sub bot could have easily shotgunned the BB. The fact that they were too stupid to play AND can still ruin the game is the dealbreaker. If they were competent, they probably could have won this game easily.

Wargaming: we implement any half baked ideas coming up at a brainstorm meeting, provided that we don’t have to playtest, like ever. Playing your own game is sick anyway.

Exactly most of the point. I was surprised I got to last this long since my other option was to yolo in and die sooner by being dolpnin hacked and shotgunned by 2 subs angled differently to me in a div and the same clan which hypothetically ment they were on VOIP comms. It's funny on the one hand, and sad on the other.

 

Which is why I'm amused by the level of sub skill on display here, and disgusted by the level of pvp gamedesign quality.
