Thank you, Wargaming!

[TheKoen]

Hello everybody!

 

Well, I think everyone has noticed that last days - weeks - maybe months - most people complained a lot about Wargaming.
The complaints were about things like Wargaming being money hungry, or ignoring the Royal Navy, or nerfing whatever they wanted nerfed.

 

I think that's a little sad. Wargaming has 1) made this game in the first place, and let's be honest, cons and pros, it's an epic game. They 2) weekly or sometimes more frequently release videos, great videos like Naval Heroes, and helpful tutorials like the animation series and the Naval Academy, and much more. They are working very hard on whatever, I think, and they are probably very busy, making another epic update, for who? For us! It's all free! Yes, you can buy Doubloons, you can buy a premium ship, but no one is forcing you. I think that if you pay €20 (dunno the prices) for some premium ship, you don't just buy the ship, you support WG. But again, no one is forcing you.

 

Because of all this, I think we should be very grateful. WG deserves some thanks!
So, thank you Wargaming, for these epic video games and videos!

 

See ya in battle

I agree. I'm having great fun with this game.

inb4 someone calls you WG fanboy

[Wunderpanzer]

Do you know if i get back the doubloons spent on the open beta test when the game is released ??

[simonmd]

It's true, it's a GREAT game, shame about most of the players.....

The devs are mainy Russian and the OPs choice of avatar is......... ahhhhhhhh I get it now..... 

[Mister_Greek]

While i agree to this,certain problems should have been adressed before going OBT,like Mirror MM for CV.

 

Mirror MM is easier to do than a general rebalance in a ship because it is simply a logical thing to do and it requires less data and statistical analysis.Putting a T6 CV versus a T8 one is by no means balanced,regardless of what the rest of the team is made up from,the T6 CV is almost immediatelly a burden to the team.

 

Wg did some unecessary mistakes that greatly increased the whine.I just hope they learnt from their mistakes.

 

Otherwise game is good,it needs some heavy CV balance tweaking but its good (Except the Carrier existence)

Please. That's the Dutch navy jack.

It is? Well forgive my ignorance then, it does look just like the Russian colours. Oh, message from WarGaming for you "the cheque's in the post".

, it does look just like the Russian colours.

 

Russian coulurs in a circle - must be russian roulette!

[Naskoni]

My gratitude has been unambiguously expressed in me spending money on their game. Kissing their figurative behinds on the forums is definitely not part of the deal. In regards to WoWS I can't seem to find much, if anything, worthy of praise. Especially on the EU server...

[Blue_Bug]

Do you know if i get back the doubloons spent on the open beta test when the game is released ??

 

No you don't. Because in between obt and release there are no wipes anymore

[varis]

YES! Such a basic smoke screen for Belorussian psy-ops will not fool us!

 

I think that's a little sad. Wargaming has 1) made this game in the first place, and let's be honest, cons and pros, it's an epic game

 

Nah... A bit bland and not convincingly immersive, gameplay lacks depth and options too. Teamplay possibilities are basic so far and there's various other issues. But they're on to something here. Note how the various ships depend on each other for support, we haven't seen such things since maybe World in Conflict I think. And Wargaming is a big brand, I already sent my moneys their way, of course.

 

2 more nations will help. But more important it's to address the various issues, and give us a more solid game with gameplay beyond the WoT style shooter. Let's see how it looks in 6 months and then we can talk if it's really improved.

WG is lucky that there is no direct competition for WoWs for now. Wait for Gaijin to publish the warships module or other companies to get interested in naval online game. Then you see the results.

 

Epic certainly not.

 

Videos? Seriously? You're like somebody that walks into a McDonald's and become uber surprised and exited to see that you receive french fries and a cola together with the burger you selected.

I dont think other than modern arcade type naval game can compete with WoWs. Why? Well because tanks arcade vs simulation isnt much diffrent. But there is a huge diffrence between naval arcade and naval reality. You see people cry here because of battleship accuracy. gaijin forums will be filled with those threads. PEople will say that because their cruisers and destroyers arent doing their job properly they cant have fun and thats not fair(battleships are pretty weak against subs

[Beurlys]

I agree with you Koen. Thank you WG for giving us this great free game.

 

There will always be things that can be improved, but that can also be said about life.

 

Win a battle, loose a battle but always remember that it is a game.

 

Just my 2 cents

My gratitude has been unambiguously expressed in me spending money on their game. Kissing their figurative behinds on the forums is definitely not part of the deal. In regards to WoWS I can't seem to find much, if anything, worthy of praise. Especially on the EU server...

 

I agree. If anything, Wargaming deserves a kick in the arse right now and not praise. There are many issues that need to be adressed which are being ignored and the current monitization strategy is morally bankrupt. And the people who defend this by saying THEY'RE A BUSINESS THEY NEED TO MAKE MONEY deserve an even harder kick in the arse for not defending their own rights but that of a company who only cares for their cash.

 

And as far as how "great" this game goes, it's actually not that great. It's alright, but not great. There just is no competition to compare it to, however World of Warships isn't doing that great. Especially in the RU territories where Wargaming seems to have seriously overestimated the enthusiasm for a naval game. The fact that EU server numbers are comparable to the RU server shows this and is the sole reason why Wargaming switched from releasing the Soviet line first to releasing the German line first (empty the richest pockets first). But even then the player count is nowhere near the amount of WoT. Even on non-peak hours WoT has 10-12x more players online than in WoWs for EU. And the Russian servers have 15x more players in WoT than WoWs. Now the defender will rush in and scream BUT IT'S A DIFFERENT TARGET AUDIENCE! Ow is it really now? Or is it because of the sorry current state of the game? Or was WoWp's low player count also because of a different target audience?

 

Lastly, for the ones screamin IT'S A FREE GAME YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY I would like to to tell them the age old saying: "There is no such thing as a free lunch."

WG has brought most of the complaints on them selves.

 

CV were not anywhere like what they are now in CBT. OBT brought manual drop torp range to ridiculous close range, causing people to complain about torps.

 

The ridiculous H.E spam was not in CBT, OBT brought this too for people to complain about.

 

WG don't seem to patch and fix things quick enough. They don't address problems on the forum to peoples satisfaction, all you ever get is "will look into it"... never to get another reply. They seem more interested in premium ships than fixing the game.

 

Haven't even started on all the issues with this game. I vote with my wallet and so far this game has been worth £20 but it's not worth more. Sure they have done a great job with the game, seems like it will do better than WoWP, but man I am frustrated with game and the speed they fix it at and the lack of communication on the forum. Seems like you need to be anywhere else but this forum to find out things. As a WG customer I ain't happy about this game. I would praise WG if they were or seemed to be sorting things out but so far since CBT I haven't seen it yet.

 

Edit: One thing I can and will praise them on, was sorting out the aim assist mod back in CBT, carry on like that and make this game cheat free will go a long way.

[triumphgt6]

Well I agree with the OP - I really enjoy this game! I can think of things that would make it even better but I am sure these are being worked on. It is still open beta after all.

1-People who paly wot and like tanks are ot forced to play or like ships

2-The game is still in beta there are high chances people dont want to get messed up with balance changes in test version

3-WoT is a game that has 5 years wows is only 3 months old.

 

If you want to **** about stuff you can use everything. But that doesnt mean they are true

 

Edit: also not every people are going to play two games that requires grinding.

RU server in wot has more players than EU server THAT MUST MEAN EU SERVER SUCKS RIGHT?

1 & 3. Nobody is forced to play World of Warships of course. But they already have a sizable audience that they can try to entice to play World of Warhips. Sure World of Tanks built up an audience from scratch over 5 years, but WoWs doesn't need to do that. WG already has a playerbase that they can poke to play WoWs. This is the reason why there isn't so much marketing for WoWs, because they are trying to get their existing playerbase to play it. Who here hasn't played WoT? I believe over 90% of the people here have played WoT and got interested in WoWs. The thing is that very few people stay to play World of Warships after they've tried it a bit. And this is very simple, the game just isn't of great quality. There are balance and gameplay issues this game seriously needs to adress and the current freemium strategy this game has is very much aimed at quick cash grabs instead of gameplay enhancement. The Russians were never jumping for a naval game, tanks have always had their interest more because of the nations history. So unless WG made a stellar game they would be unable to keep the majority of the RU audience enticed to play WoWs for long. And their switch from Soviet to German line release clearly shows their overestimation in the quality of their product.

 

2. Please, the beta tag at this point is just for show and an excuse for why there are so few maps and nationsin the game but it is not for the balance reason. If balance were the reason for this game having the open beta tag then WoT would never have left open beta because the balancing there gets changed constantly. The arty, tank destroyer and light tank rebalances for example were all done long after the game was released. And now they want to do a penetration rebalance at higher tiers but they don't exactly know how to do it. Beta is not the reason why people don't play this game.

 

As for your great deduction that more EU players means the EU server sucks. I have no idea what gave you the impression that I said that, but I guess you just think in a unique way.
