Poll about YOU and WoWs (Part 1)

[aboch]

Just thought i make a poll to see how the player base that is more or less active on the forum thinks about some things.

 

Whatever you choose, your profile will not show up in the results, so be free to answer all questions without being afraid that you are outed.

 

I tried to give as many options as possible, in case i forgot something, sorry, try to take the nearest one that fits in.

 

I have no agenda with anything, just curious about the players i meet ingame, their thoughts, their wishes. i love the game, easy as that. And you?

 

Feel free to discuss whatever comes to your mind ......

Nice poll, some answers are a bit biased but ok

 

 

It's obvious that for the question "What content you want/miss most?" the most answers will be more nations and more ships in the tech tree but I bet you that 90% of people who vote that haven't played with half of the ships currently in game

Dev teams should have/want these kind of surveys. You know, as feedback about their project.

 

- I would also add "More PvE/Co-Op content".

I tried, and hope i managed, to stay as fair as possible and give everybody a chance to answer whatever fits bet.

One of my hopes is that enough people take the poll and survey so it may get the admins/devs attention, no matter what the outcome to every single question is. But if enough people fill the poll i think we pretty much have for some important questions a good idea what we (the players) really need.

Overall yes, but why the anime question twice?

 

Oh, and add one thing:

FIX THE 8+ ECONOMY

[T_H_0_R]

Voted. Liked the poll questions.

- the anime question fitted into 2 questions and it is an actual one. I tried especially with these 2 anime questions to be ultra fair and give as many as possible valid answer options. While me personally does not like it, i'am far from not accepting it IF there is such demand. Hence the reason i would like to see how players think about that question, fair, without having an agenda and if there is indeed such wish, so it be.

 

About the 8+ and Economy issue. I thought about it. One problem is that i have used all 12 possible questions you can use. Second thing is that in my opinion this works as intended. You play good, you make money, you play average you are even, you play bad you make minus in the high tier ranks. When i make another poll, i will include it, why not.

The only online game that I play - and have ever played - is WoWS. I thought that I must be unusual.

 

I had assumed that the vast majority of people came to WoWS from WoT. I was surprised at the number of people who HAVEN'T played WoT.

Me too, while i have played a lot of WOT which was my first and only online game so far, i as well thought that most players will come from WOT, interesting result we will get here as it seems. Same goes for the player base. While i thought that with 45 i'am more or less some kind of outsider it turns out that its quiet a big group, even the biggest at current votes, that is over 40. Did not have awaited that at all.

Nice poll OP. Lets hope the results get studied from someone in WG.

[EmilyFara]

Quite an interesting poll. A few things I noticed that peeked my interest.

Average age, but higher then I expected even though I'm near the upper part with all my friends playing it (they didn't vote)

How many people don't care about the anime, if you were to believe the nay-sayers then half the world is falling apart and most people will leave. But actually, as I expected, the majority of people voting don't care about the anime.

The amount of people who apparently spend a large amount of money on the game. It outpaces the people who won't spend a dime on it. And is nice to see for the company and would mean continued development.

 

I must applaud you for making this poll as unbiased as possible. While you do have 2 questions that are almost the same (the anime one). I expected you had a stance or point to make about the anime content, I wasn't able to determine your position on the matter from the questions. Couldn't really find a loaded question in there.

 

To add my own opinion. What I'd like to see is clan based warfare. Maybe submarines (I know WG said they don't like it since they have to remake all maps to cope with it.).

Thx, i think that if you want honest answers and opinions loaded questions have just no place, so yes, i tried to make it as possible fair and unbiased as possible as the people and their answers are the interesting part, no some single opinion like mine for example.

 Second thing is that in my opinion this works as intended. You play good, you make money, you play average you are even, you play bad you make minus in the high tier ranks.

 

You could add this to the question 5 (although now when many of the players already voted the results will be botched).

The NA and ours poll proved this is among the top if not the top issue to a lot of players. But it's not about the genereal idea, but magnitude. WoWs economy of 8 tier is around the WoT economy of 10 tier. Even premium players are seriously hurt by that and for the non premium higher tiers are absolutely unfeasible to play if one sunk ship means they have to play 4-6 games with low tier ships. And next come the grind for the ships themselves.

Although i can see how you don't have problem with credits, playing mostly premium ships (idk if on premium), and this is by no means accusation, just observation. But please don't assume that everyone else don't have the problem if you don't.

And no, average players should not have losing money at average battle. Certainly not at tier 8. Premium players should not ever lose the money. Unless AFK or zero damage.

I have my own observations in that case and when i write about the economy in higher tiers i do not take premium ship into account. I have said it many times ago that i totall agree that someone makes e negative balance in higher tier battles of lets say 100k or 200k minus, but that is 1 battle. To get the full picture, take into account all other battles as well. You make a superb battle and get rewarded how much? 300k? you make an average battle you get rewarded 50k? 100k? So, my personal opinion on that one is that if you are a good player you do NOT make minus in higher battles in the long run, eas as that. And i personally do not see 1 reason why a really bad player should get a reward in tier 8. 9 and even less in tier 10. Maybe a bit egoistic, but tier 10 is the kings class and bad players have to deal with that, either do not play high tiers or play better, easy as that. For sure not a popular stance, but if you are fair, its a valid one.

 

However, i will make screenshots and a seperate poll and discussion the next days about higher tier battles and income/expenses to get some stats up i can underline with fixed numbers and not just vague talking.

[Makoniel]

I agree for Fixing T8+ economy, I'd have spent a third answer on this one. (Before Depot and Prem without bundles)

 

Really interesting topic, I'm interested to see how the results will grow.

Good and bad players are not the question. Bad ones are... well, bad, so no one ever said they need to get everything. It's the average ones, the majority that provide the bulk of players. No F2P game can be made for good players only. Although with that economy even good players have problems.

And there already is the poll about this, just yours is really good and comprehensive so omitting this is a glaring hole. Here is the link for EU:

http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/37118-we-want-lower-repair-costs-too/

And the much bigger one on NA:

http://forum.worldofwarships.com/index.php?/topic/55368-we-want-lower-repair-costs/#topmost

Mostly chatter ofc but you can find the proof there too. Your participation is always welcome.

 

And once again. Nobody wants to get everything, but this system is way too oppressive and saps fun from game with the triple grind.

Player base will decrease fast (3 votes [4.00%])

 

surprised nobody is voting for this

 

the game went from 35k > 22k in 40 days

[4safetypurposes]

@Wavecave where did you get such information? Also why do you assume a linear progression of this trend?

 

EDIT: If you were looking at warshipstats and want to tell me that the spike on October 19th is representative, you are just deliberatly skewing statistics. On Oct 19th the new ships were released, the 35k players were an abnormally high number. And you compare that to 22k for a thursday, which is definetly a day with fewer people playing. So you're basically comparing best case vs. worst case scenario. Do you have any idea about statistics or how to read/interpret them?
Look at the sunday before Oct. 19th and Nov 29th - 28k vs 25k players at peak. This is far more representative than anything else.

My personal view is that the player base is about being stable in average. At least i see daily (and i play daily) always around 25k players. I can not remember many days i saw over 30k anyway, expect the peeks at release date.

[MATREKUS]

Very interesting. And surprising a bit for me. Im 39 and it seams 30-40 ppl are the mayority. At least in forums hehe..and most ppl want single ships in premium shop....thats not surprising...

 

 

good poll btw

 

thanks

im speaking from my own experience, i also remember it took me less than 10 seconds to find a match with my zao, now it's taking me several minutes

Wait wait wait what? Anime? What have they announced? I tell you this stuff had better be optional or im going back to bsp 

 

[4safetypurposes]

Everything's optional, don't worry.

That stuff seems to be optional. Either you must turn it on or you can turn it off. So no worries about that one.
