Dropping numbers of players.

[shrapnel_bait]

Has anyone else noticed that the average number of players in the game appears to be dropping, or is it just my imagination?

[ColonelPete]

Proof?

 

[Admiral_noodle]

Mr. Stats on this forum can find out for you I'm sure.

 

There may be a drop off because of:

 

New university year (lots of students play this), and people waiting for the new ships. Many factors. Long term trends are more interesting.

[ValerioWTF]

I like this trend....."OMG THE PLAYERBASE IS DROPPING WG SUXXXX I BETTER MAKE A FORUM POST"

However, no, the playerbase is not dropping.

[caldark]

not noticed.. I still find games just as fast as i always have.

Apparently the Forum is the WRONG place to ask a simple question.

Sorry if I sounded like a troll/turd, but recently this kind of posts are increasing, and really, some people just want to find a reason to say "omfg wg sux" and it's starting to get on my nerves.

I definitely agree with this. I would expect a jump in players when the German CA/CL and Soviet DD lines come out

He never said "WoWs sux" because player numbers is dropping. And yes, at least from the time of open beta till release it was dropping slowly but steadily. Idk how it is now.

I must say i really like World of warships, but too often i find myself quitting after a few battles and opening wot instead.

Not sure why but one of the reasons is that a failed team or my own failure has a much more negative effect on my will to keep playing in wows.

I find World of Warships even more teamdependent than Wot, its soooo much easier to carry other tanks in wot than other ships in wows.

You just cant be somewhere else in wows, if you choose a flank you have to stick with it as it takes forever to move around.

 

I find it funny when Jingles says he performes better in wows than wot because for me its complete opposite.

Offensive play in other ships than destoyers will just get you killed in seconds, so i just end up sitting behind islands waiting for others to make my mistakes.

 

 

[Spithas]

Players are increasing not dropping.

[xXx_Blogis_xXx]

dont joke , its droping  i can agree

[KS1975]

Take a look here:

It looks as if player number is neither decreasing nor increasing.

Totally agree with you , in WoT i got a 56% WR , 2200+ ? WN8, played in some of the best clans in EU and yet i can barely keep my stats over 50% WR and my dmg is just about avarage.. Sure its a totally diffrent game , but is it really ?!. 

 

I dont think WoWs can ever reach even 30% that of WoT in tearms of popularity, ships may be awesome and huge and have massiv guns and stuff , but in the end , all you do is cruise around at 30knots shooting at stuff you can barely see. 

[Admiral_noodle]

Don't forget wows is still new and the majority of the player base are still finding their feet. I'm going to give wot a go soon and I suspect I will be appalling

 

Over time the player base will mature and team play will improve, though not overnight.

[Frank_F_B]

Haven't got this feeling myself. But it won't never be WOT in numbers. WoWs is more tactical. WOT is more for ppl with short attention span.

[Shaka_D]

@OP: WG officially released the game on the 17th September 2015 not to make us happy, since they forgot to include their current players in the release, but principally to be able to advertise the game aggressively, as admitted by themselves recently. They couldn't advertise it as a 'beta' product, but now they can adsvertise as an officially released game so I assume the dropping numbers, if true, will only be shortlived. We'll probably soon find ourselves inundated with hordes of reapers joining the game and swelling numbers. That's my assumption anyways.

The problems for me with WoWs,

 

with BB if you wait 30s for your every shot and miss guaranteed the %80 of it because of RNG gods, it is not quite fun.

with DD, specially Japs, it is easy mode and it is no fun.

with Cruisers, I am undecided, seems to be fun, but when you think, I am killing a BB with my HE shell which can only burn normally its super structure feels little bit odd for the immersive game play.

CV play is not for me.

 

I play little bit, get bored from it and don't look for it for next week.

 

With WoT, at least your performance is not that much hands of RNG gods and only some vehicles has 30s load time.

Its me thats sailing around in 30 knots being shot at from all directions. The enemy is just sitting "tacticaly" behind their islands and lobbing their shells at the noob (me) trying to move around. The funny part is when i think i have had a good game i often find myself 4th from the bottom with less xp than the guy that died several minutes ago.

Cant even remember tha last time i was on top of that xp list.

 

And to be honest i find it a bit sad really because i love those ships a h3ll of a lot more than tanks.

Whenever i dare to take my New York out on the ocean i pick a flank and folow the DD and Cruiser on that side and most likely i get some

of those 1000 overpenetrating hits before all my friendly ships in front of me are on the seabottom. Then i sit there with my 48000 HP unable to do anything to defend myself from from whats coming. Most likely i will burn to death before i see anything to shoot at.

 

And thats when you start to fear the battle button

 

But as someone said more nations, ships and maps are coming so i will keep on trying to improve my game.

The problems for me with WoWs,

 

with BB if you wait 30s for your every shot and miss guaranteed the %80 of it because of RNG gods, it is not quite fun.: But when BB's do hit they annihalate the enemy for most of his health,,ask me, I know. My pepsicola lost half to three quarters of it's health in numerous games from shots from lower tier BB's. So where is the balance suppose to lie????

 

with DD, specially Japs, it is easy mode and it is no fun. I agree, jap DD's are easier to play than US ones, stealth camo and torps from nowhere.

 

with Cruisers, I am undecided, seems to be fun, but when you think, I am killing a BB with my HE shell which can only burn normally its super structure feels little bit odd for the immersive game play. Cruisers are the middle ground, most fun for me but the US ones suffer with a lack of torps and the Jap cruisers can still trade blow for blow with US cruisers, but have the added advantage of torpedoes.

 

[OldGrandad]

I am sure that the numbers will always yo-yo and the below attached chart reflects that.

 

For me, the times that I can get to play I get into battles immediately so that to me says the population is relatively healthy. Another aspect we have to consider, is that WG have not advertised this game in the same fashion they have with tanks (even WoWp had TV ads at time of launch).

[inAbag]

For the love of god. Will you people stop bloody referring to warship stats?! You cannot determine increase or decrease of the amount of players with that thing. It only shows the flux of daily players.

 

 

Source: http://www.vbaddict.net/servers/world-of-warships/

 

Here, you can clearly see it. Vbaddict measures the daily server counts and calculates averages to determine the server health. And as you can see AVERAGE PLAYER COUNT IS DROPPING SINCE OBT RELEASE! Get it through your thick skulls already. The player count keeps dropping and you can make all freakin kinds of excuses like "ow it's summer vacation (no longer valid lol), ow people have to go to work (the new excuse), ow there is too little content" but it doesn't FIX the fact that this game is DYING.

 

The drop is even faster on NA, RU and ASIA servers. So this is not just an EU thing ALL THE SERVERS HAVE IT!

 

[posthumecaver]

 

 

The thing is, it is pure luck a BB can hit cruiser if the cruiser captain knows what is he doing.

 

Yesterday there was guy on my six, he stayed 11-12km range where I have 4-5s shell fly time, every 8s he changed its course, it was not possible for my Kongo to place any shot on him. May be with BB with 12 guns but not with Kongo.

[Aldramelech]

Its far too early to tell and a couple of months of data isn't going to give you a true picture, there is a lot of stuff going on in the gaming world atm and many people here spread themselves over several games, what brings us back to focus on this? Content. New content WILL have an effect.
