Submarines impact on your number of games

[deathsadow]

I wonder how submarines impacted your number of games ? Personally i started to play less with wows since they are added.

[PyroA]

Much Less, haven't played in weeks. Everything is a mess imo. I'll start the game and find myself in port staring at my ships and then I'll exit.

You too, huh.

[lovelacebeer]

I won’t play randoms at all whilst subs are present, so it’s mainly operations and sometimes ranked for me. 

[J0tt]

Nothing changed in my playing behaviour. I play almost exclusively T9 and encounter only very few subs over the course of an evening.

Pretty much this for me too, just swap out ranked for co-op.

Let's be honest: I play Ranked long enough to get all the steel & dubs, then switch to Randoms, subs or no subs.

 

I do wish they went away, though.

I've done this a few times recently too...

Yes, it varies a lot. 1 sub, 2 subs, 0 subs. Down to luck or something else, I suppose.

They are being 'fine tuned' now and will get a little extra speed if I understood it correctly. If only they went away, they could then go away little quicker.

I am playing Ranked and Convoy, played only 4 random matches this month, all in the last couple of days when an old friend reappeared.

Shockingly, instead of world of griefers, three of them were actual WOWs matches with no griefers. Was really great. One match had 8 cruisers and 2 BBs/DDs. That one was a tough fight, a ton of fun. WOWs is so good without the griefer types. Makes me so sad that the devs have forced us to eat that useless, parasitic trash.

CV rework - Commander rework -  Subs - Superships - Events like "Ruckus"

 

Can´t really say that subs alone are to blame but yes, subs along with superships finally pushed me down to not even opening the game to claim daily drops

Played 2-3 randoms mid April, did 1 run on Narai last week

I was thinking of doing more randoms (I've not done many) but subs, and CVs, are the main factors in preventing me from trying.

Depends on the op : Narai deffo.

Tried Raptor Rescue yesterday.

Decked out my Nurnburg with all the signals with the intent of making use of the 200% first win bonus.

And the team threw it badly.

Our CV died early as he didn't move from the spawn point. So when the bots spawned after a few mins he was the closest target and no one could cover him.

I had around twice the base XP of the next guy.

So this week I'll be avoiding that one ... again.

Heck, I think I'm starting prefer Newport to Raptor Rescue

Teams can throw any operation these days. I almost wish there would be just one operation, and instead you'd have good and bad teams rotating weekly.

[anonym_cwVecOS6ecVy]

Stopped entirely, but not only because of subs.

[Siagor]

Playing only where still no subs appear.

 

Honestly, not sure what I will do once they go tech tree live. They are a game breaker, literally.

[OldSchoolFrankie]

I played a lot less before the Submarines, but the Submarines definitely didn't encourage me to play more again. I'm only motivated by my new clan and the clan wars.

But development hasn't improved gameplay for a long time and won't do so for the foreseeable future. Wargaming wants to make as much money as possible as quickly as possible and it seems they have no long-term plans for the game and their customers. There are so many things implemented in the game that the playerbase completely rejects, but Wargaming doesn't care. Wargaming has told us countless times that our feedback is important, but when was the last time Wargaming acted on our feedback?

 

We used to play up to 20 games a day, which is almost unthinkable today. Today I can reach such numbers in a week. And you get asked a lot less if you're interested in playing a round because they all disapprove of Wargaming's approach and stay away from the game. It's surprising how many paying customers are scared away here and these are players who no longer recommend the game. Apparently, this approach seems to be financially worthwhile for Wargaming.

 

Submarines are here to stay simply because Wargaming can sell and promote them. I would also like to know when Wargaming will be forced to do a turnaround? How many players have to stay away from the game? Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be in sight yet..

Unfortunately operations just like the convoy mode are proof that no matter how simple a mission some people just cannot grasp the basic concept of the mission. 
 

Thankfully I still find most teams can handle operations although I agree Newport is still iffy. Still for me it’s way less frustrating than playing in games with submarines.

Not really, no. Destroyers were already unkillable to anything but other destroyers, so having another type of destroyer unkillable to other destroyers of it's type didn't actually change much for me. Except that I don't want to play submarine, I suppose, while I can still play Marceau or smth. 

[Nov_A]

tbh fam ngl

 

Nothing in my activity has changed due to subs, since I do not care enough about the game. Usually I play T6 or T8 and I can say by personal experience at least, that the amount of double CV games in T6 has decreased, while the amount of submarine encounters, especially in T6 has increased. Obviously, most people get them there first and 99% of the time its some 40%WR game enjoyer playing them, but it can get annoying when they are literally put into games as decoration and map explorers. Rarely a good player can be seen, in which case the average T6 connoisseur has absolutely no idea how to react. Since I only play Lexington and Löwenhardt at the moment, there is basically no interaction between us and more of a "yeah, just do your thing, ill keep an eye on you" mentality. I approach, they dive. Those that dont, can actually be engaged pretty good by HE-bombers, but while 7-12k drops on BB superstructures are a common thing, I never hit more than 7k on a sub.

 

I honestly dont know what WGs intention in class interaction is, but like I said, dont care, didnt ask.

 

[CV_SUB_Report_Blacklist]

i can deal with subs , and with every update dealing with subs getting much better ...

 

it is not like i like subs , i hate them but i cannot compare subs nuisance to cvs ,

 

cvs can reach you where ever you are

cvs are sooooo fast

cvs are immortal and has no limited battery

cvs doesn't risk themselves getting in battle ground unlike subs

cvs has multi weapons unlike subs 

cvs is the true evil in this game 

 

it will be safe to say that cv commander is the devil himself .

 

when a player dont know what ship to play , there must be devil whispering to him to take cv to spread the sadness around the globe

Logically speaking, the only rational.. or perhaps irrational explanation has to be that WG thinks that by making the game as deterring to play as possible, the playerbase will somehow become more inclined to pay. Pay, don't play, perhaps this is some metachange that is occurring in how the gaming world views game economics? Or maybe WG is just proving to be hopelessy incompetent. And greedy. Incompetent and greedy's always been a particularly lovely combination.

I have subscribed and started playing WOW classic...

For me i just play a few Cruiser games or maybe 1-2 DD game .. than stare on my BBs for a few min, remember that the subs are around so i quit the game. While before i droped in a few BB match too.

Sometimes i hear that voice too " Play IJN CV ... come on just one round of Shokaku or Kaga " :P playing the Haku or the Ryujo is too dirty even for me. Jokes aside T8 CV is not that bad , T10 & Super CV are broken ... T6 CV isnt too bad .... but WG almost allways make double the trouble on T6. 

 

And yeah that comes from a guy who has the " I ruin your day on a T8" badge .. probably i could get the ultimate dayruiner badge too if i would have slightly more games on T10 :P aswell.

I play Co-Op, Ranked now and again, and Missions + Ultimate Admirals and I've gone from being a bigger Whale than Moby D!ck  to  Wargaming and their Bat Sh!* Crazy idea's and it's Totally Stupid idea of trying to cram silent hunters into a fleet battle by making them Sci-Fi Super Ships, Just Saying
