Guys - do you see "Naval Battles" on main screen in port (I can only use it via Clan section)?

Hi. 

This discussion might not be active but everyone complains about the Naval Battles the last three days in the guild chats. 

The proposal everyone agrees is move the News back to it's place with the old warning and naval battles back to it's place at the main Port screen. 

 

Not only the new "News" section doesn't have a warning for news articles, but is the section accessed the least, with barely anyone clicking it once a day at best. Same applies to the Bounty button which is useless after clicking it once over the period of the whole event. 

 

Contrary the Naval Battles is accessed over 20 times over 3 days. Just to check what to pick next, if someone else has picked the same type/nation ship is a process repeated 20 times alone. Let alone when you have to wait later and check again if the battle ended. 

Hiding this functionality behind two tabs, finding illogical and daft considering nobody had issues with it been on the front. 

 

As a software developer & analyst for 25 years, always trying to have the most used functions available with the least effort for the users in the UI. The migration of something that is accessed multiple times like the Naval Battles behind two tabs, replacing it with something that is barely used once a day at best, could have at least been argued by someone in all the teams worked with all those years. I would also have argued against it too, if someone put that idea at the sprint planning meeting for the next release. And going back all those years, the couple of times the manager decided that it was a good idea something similar, the backlash from the corporate end users was so big that within days had to reverse it with a hotfix. Which makes everything more complicated considering the development for the next release had moved forward.

Removing the Naval Battles tab from the main port screen is just a very bad idea, makes no sense at all

The problem is that nobody sees it available...

 

I counted 25 clans in my group alone with ZERO (0) points and today it is Sunday...

Anyone could see this happening a mile away.

It'll be interesting to see next week (when it'll probably be a regular [CLAN] vs [CLAN] Naval battle) as to how many are nil-nil draws or walk-overs.

30 clans in our group who have yet to score.

[telxinos]

Go to the Base from the Clan tab you will find them there 

[Nauseica]

in the near future

Naval battles is no more a content that our community participates thats why we will make a rework so it will be more accessible and with higher rewards called Battle Naval Fights.

 

If the clan pays 4k doobloons will also get an extra reward
but if he wants with a small price of 10k Db will start in a higher league

Well, please make sure that it get's put back after this "Festive" clutter is finished with.
We need to be kept updated as to when those buttons will return, as it means a lot of work for our Clan leaders to remind their members to participate.
Otherwise we will all suspect that the intention is to get rid of Naval Battles.

You have a large part of Your Community who spend many hours each week working on Naval Battles.

[DrPhibes]

So that's why half of the clans in our group have zero stars.

My guess is that some of those clans may never take part in Naval Battles.

 

Having the Naval Battle in the port screen makes it easier to go there and see progress.  Having to go to the clan screen and then press Naval Battle and suffer the poor response when having to scroll down the screen to see which classes still have low scores and which players have participated is a pain in the rear.

Some, maybe. But I don't remember seeing so many.

I have given up on the new UI layout and ALT-TAB to a browser showing the page instead. Far quicker and way more convenient. Your clan's Naval Battle.

Which is why I said: some.

 

That URL works fine - there is no delay when scrolling.  Thanks - I will use that in future.

Only WG could push useless propaganda and bounty tabs on and remove naval battles.

Thanks for this. We'll make sure to forward this.

I understand that it may be a new thing to get used to - so maybe let's see how it is in a couple weeks.

Also as mentioned in the patch notes:
Apart from that, we’re temporarily removing the following banners as well: Recruiting Station and Naval Battle (access will be granted via the Player Profile tab and the Clans tab, respectively).

Are you saying the change was originally planned for longer than just this update?

I think they felt it would be too crowded on the left side (for ppl with like 1024 potato resolution). My guess would be that it returns once all this x-mas shenanigans is over.

They would have enough room if they returned the "news" to it's original location.
But no, it's yet another "improvement" no one asked for that's been inflicted upon us.
It's almost like they hate us players

I am saying it because hopefully the issue that Leo described will not persist throughout the patch, as this is a rather long patch. To my knowledge this was not a change planned for an extended period of time.

Come now guys, this must be one of the features requested by the “silent majority” we who are the “vocal minority” can STFU and adapt or GTFO from wows 🤣

Unexpected? No. As probably some of you missed devblog note from 14.10.2022 (source below - last line), starting from 17.10.2022 clans from CIS server are not participating in Naval Battles. As opponents are drawn among all servers, no one really noticed CIS clans are not there anymore. For EU and rest of the servers Naval Battles continued as previously. HOWEVER, for CIS players and Lesta, this field became suddenly redundant, so they came up with idea to replace it with news tab. Of course as a ricochet all other servers are also participating in this "upgrade". Turned out WG is still only translating and using under Lesta license taking all changes CIS comes up with. This also explains extremely delayed feedback from EU community managers on various topics, such as birthday gifts campaign being suspended, development of the game, improvements etc. They just do not know. Anyway, when we are on the interface topic, when will it be possible to filter in carousel ships by tier, type (premium, special, elite) AND those that can get a Anniversary / Christmas reward? They both work perfectly separately but as soon as you mark both, they work as OR functions (which shows all type of the ships). I do not have high hopes about this...

I've already desribed this topic on polish section of the forum :)

For me it returned to port yesterday. No news section. Or is it some mode I use? I did not install any new one, but maybe some port mod got an update? Anyway, this was not a very thought over change. Why is there a bounty tab, in which behind has only a text but nothing to interact with?

The bounty was a temporary event and I don't think it'll be back (though I might be wrong)

I am 99% sure that there are many clans that simply don't see it as available...

 

Here is my Clan's last "Naval Battle":

P.S.

I use Aslain's MODPack and I have it back where it belongs!

The previous two (clan vs clan) battles were landslides where the other clan scored zero.

Only this week was there something approaching a contest - 62/46

For when it gets added to ModStation.

Not sure if it's just a coincidence, but the number of players taking part in the Naval Battle went drastically down in my ASIA server clan. From about 5 or 6 regularly to just 1 or 2.

I am not sure because it was not a separate thing... I think it was part of the @OlliN "Good News!" ...
