That is why we haven't gotten any content since closed beta ended... Lies! You got the Tirpitz! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny_Phate Beta Tester 108 posts 3,300 battles Report post #52 Posted September 17, 2015 Wargaming at it´s best! Such a release I have never seen in my life! An incredible amount of advertising in television and internet! Fantastic events with celebrities! New ships and nations in the game! New functions and maps! An interesting ship as reward for participation in the open beta! Complete patchnotes to all those new functions! Well, at this point the dream was over and I woke up. [edited]first two... but the rest would be nice. Though i dont think that we really need another super awesome ship like Albany aka free port slot... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[CMP] Plautuskake Alpha Tester 65 posts 6,898 battles Report post #53 Posted September 17, 2015 I am disappointed just now... I expected much more but really what we got? Poor and half baked special with almost zero discount, even release article came late. I thought that this large company has skills to do better timing and better quality than this. Yes, yes I understand that more things may be coming but WG screwed up first impression of release (atleast to me), you can't make release like this in 2015. Why was I waiting something cool for this release? Because you can release game only once! Nowdays you have to fight for your customers, there are many attractive competitors on the market. I am an existing customer, I don't need much but still I need SOME motivating for staying in the game (althought that this is very funny game but there are many other funny games that I want to play). Sad thing is that WG has all tricks what they need... You just need to make some attractive discounts on the premium shop and some small contests what there is in WoT (like collect 100k experience with both nations and win reward ship). I actually waited even couple new low tier premium ships for extra flavor to the game....but we got nothing..... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would count the changes to the matchmaking as a "big" update, but aside from that.... Well, new intro video, so at least the graphics department did its job.

[HEROZ] GulvkluderGuld Players 3,467 posts 22,105 battles Report post #62 Posted September 17, 2015 ...or are just plain incompetent. Launch day and not even marked on the portal since 5 am in the morning smells awfully bad. They can't officially announce they've given up making money on the game. So they start by pulling everyone off the marketing section. Then asap they cut the Dev team. Cut their loses. More worrisome is WG's apparent attitude towards user friendliness. Maybe "if people buys the goods, they're good enough" works in Russia, idk. Better not try to improve it like other game companies (Blizzard, Riot etc). Shame on you WG. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was playing in "closed beta" without an invite, it's been open beta since then... I really can't see what the release is other than "end of test". Ok... But since more stuff is coming and the game will continue to evolve, what is "release" anyway? Kinda nothing. Hence the lack of fanfare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But since more stuff is coming and the game will continue to evolve, what is "release" anyway? Kinda nothing. Hence the lack of fanfare. Release or Launch is opportunity to the every game company to get more players and fans. Just released game is more attractive for consumer than couple months ago released game. Game should know that their competitors don't stay behind always, there are coming more attractive games in future (even F2P games) and consumer has only limited time to use for gaming so WG needs to commit players to the game now. One reason why WoT and WoW has been so successfull is that their developers and other employees has succeeded commit players to those games. Nowdays is more difficult to commit players because there are more competitors in the market. This is why WGs should use this kind opportunities well.
