Disclaimer: I am a new player having started last June, bought premium account and also a handful of premium ships. My time is limited due to my work but since the start I think I have almost logged in every day even if I do just 1 battle. I am average skilled and still learning the ropes. I play mainly pvp.


First off I want to start saying that wows is a nice game, kept fresh by constant updates, daily news and a vibrant community. Despite all the gloomers and doomers, I really believe that most players find it fun and challenging. Afterall eve has been dying for 19 years and still kicking.

 

This is not to say that the game is perfect, and this is where I would like to maybe chip in with a couple of my suggestions;

 

1) TT ships: I would pay to upgrade a normal TT ship to a premium (effectively making it easier to move my captains around) the same cost that it takes to make a bonus on a ship.

2) Renting ships: It would be nice if we have a way to try out (renting?) a premium ship before buying. 

3) Camos: I would pay dubs to upgrade a number of expandable camos into a permanent one. Ex: Turn 10 expandable camos into a permanent camo for a random ship you own.

4) Lessen the grind: When one pays for premium time, I think that the daily and weekly Win limit needs to be waivered. (make it like the first few missions base xp only)

5) Battle pass: The first one was most balanced in terms of pay+play/reward. Do not be too greedy.

6) Mission time: Another benefit for premium time could be more time to complete missions. 

7) Mission completion criteria: Why do you restrict some battle types here? Even when it comes to campaigns.

8) Symbols and patches: Allow us to paint these onto ships as with warthunder.

9) Captains: Add a symbol for captains that have a special voiceover. Also add more cool captains! Sell event captains for coal.

10) Brawls: (my favourite mode:) Extend the time that the missions are available for.

11) Sales: since WOWS aniversay - Black Friday and Christmas fall all close together, it would be nice to have Easter sales and Summer sales.

 

12) Game modes: To my knowledge wows have two main game modes, one is geared for pvp and the other for pve with several sub categories. Ultimately it's all tied to lobby fights though. I think one could add the following as well:
12a) Faction and theater operations - ex joining the north Atlantic theater on the German side fighting the British ships, or Americans fighting Japanese in the pacific. Could work like the server wide events where players sign up, are grouped into fleets and fight for sectors in an overarching world map.
12b) Expeditions: Sending a fleet of ships on an expeditions and they bring home random rewards - akin to no mans sky. One could assemble a fleet of different ships in varying proportions with the rock-paper-scissors approach as in Destroyers>Battleships>>Cruisers. Sending expeditions could cost silver and in return one can get bonuses, camos, signals, ship parts and even perhaps the rare captured captain! These would be the passive/tactical gameplay version. Also an incentive to have a larger fleet in port.
12c) Strategic: Top down map gameplay where players control their ship from above having a set number of moves per turn and taking shots at each other. 

 

13) Eras: WG could look into other settings like pirate ships, ships of the line, galleons etc.

14) Offers: Please give us more coupons for dubs :) (200% coupon once a year please)
 

Thanks for reading.

Glad you are enjoying the game and thoughtful first post. 

I will try to answer some of your posts with my opinion/experience!

1. Unlikely as this is a source of income in what can be a free to play game. Perfectly sensible suggestion though.

2. Been raised quite a few times in the past - would undoubtedly dent sales as some Premiums are not that great!

3. I suppose the answer is just buy the permanent camo - personally I now use none as no advantage now and sell non permanent ones as income - I have my favourite ships with permanent camo already as had before the change.

4. Not quite sure what you want - Premium time increases your XP gains anyway and if in a good clan that can also increase gains.

5. Agreed but again less likely to happen - lure you in then reduce the rewards gradually is a standard WG mode!

6. Not likely to happen as some players will complain that they want new ones sooner.

7. Operations give better rewards than maybe they should - certainly used to be the case though I believe less so now.

8. Probably some mod available to do this and I agree would be interesting.

9. As a dedicated Jingles user. all mine sound the same and are equally awful at identifying anything but it still amuses!

10. Stopped playing this mode so no comment.

11. They seem to have special offers fairly often.

12. Agree - you could set up your own scenarios using training room but although no cost will not earn anything. They do play with different ideas though some of yours will need some work - they did try an allies against Axis some time ago but there was considerable imbalance in the fleets. 

13. I seem to remember them doing a galleon special event which was amusing but that was a long time ago. I would like pre-dreadnought era but the present game means there is always a mix. 

14. No harm wishing!

 

Best wishes

at best they will read it and do NOTHING.
but most likely some points will do the opposite of what you wrote.
just analyze the requests of the players for 7 years of the game and their innovations and you will understand it yourself!

you write in the void!

Few WOWS suggestions and feedback - new player perspective..

 

No point in suggesting anything

(unless it somehow makes more money for WG)

 

They don´t give a ____ about feedback either

(their sales spreadsheet is the only thing they care about)

 

This is my personal opinion, I been playing this for 5 years
