0.5.10 PT General Feedback

[Smeggo]

Well captain above Rank 3 or so will not see newbies anyway as they got their own bracket. 

 

Anyway, I can understand it.  Why bother a new player with citadel-mechanics at the beginning.

Yep totally agree, but it would be nice if we would have been informed at least here in the forum about this like with the normalisation.

[AndyHill]

The "Win 3 Matches in a Divisions in Co-Op or Random Mode" mission never completes, My team has won over 5 matches now

 

Same problem, won 3 and no games registered.

[CollingwoodDK]

The change to T1 ships is at least a thing to talk about! Why isn't it even mentioned in the forum? Like some said before, is this intended?

 

No prem consumable any more, no AP and HP dropped by 50%! Would be nice if you had mentioned it before because its a very drastic change. I don't play these ships any more so I don't really care, but I think its a good protection for not so skilled players against T1 seal clubber.

 

 

Nope, its not, but therefore the free chance to learn to play goes into the water !

Not exactly, because at T2 everything is back to normal! So you can start your WoWS experience now at a "light" version only worrying about shooting. Only problematic thing I think is the reduction to half of the HP. Aren't battles very fast over for you now?

HE-damage is 900 now on most T1 ships. Played 10 T1-matches for the dubloons, they feel the same as they did. 

I recommend you to test it - they have added even more easter eggs on the "polar islands" map. 

[Baananaas]

So I dowloaded the Official Mac version and every time I start the launcher the error Message “The date obtained from the update service is incorrect" pops up.

I tried to add the game to the Firewall and it didnt work I hope you guys can help  me

Sorry for the moan but I'm already not enjoying this PT anywhere near as much as 0.5.9's PT. To steal from another poster my reasons are almost identical -

 

1) Limited Resources - you receive a mere 1000 Doubloons, which will last you for exactly 2 captain retrainings ( one retraining costs 500 Doubloons) - Now I have to play 10 times before I can win enough doubloons to actually start testing (captain skill's) or swap ships which has now become pointless because of point 2 below

 

2) Limited to T8 - you don't get to test the changes in ships you would like to sail, because above T8, XP requirements are a joke, good luck gathering over 700.000 XP for T9 and about 900.000 XP for T10 - Why do this? There are no T6-8 specific issues that you need testing so I don't understand the need to force people to stick to T6-8 and prevent people testing out T9-10 ships (always my favourite part)  in the PT?

 

3) False Advertising - It was indicated on the World of Warships site that you would get to test drive the new german BBs, which clearly isn't happening. How can the test 'prepare us' for german BBs if we haven't got a chance to try them? Nice bait, WG - Not bothered about the lack of German BB TBH. Yes it would have been nice and yes the advertising led people to believe they'd be getting early access but personally I'm happy to wait to they go live on the Live server, just the RU cruiser line.

 

4) Changes Too Minor - there is almost no point on testing, changes are insignificant, at least from my perspective. A few maps get a visual facelift, a few sounds added, colourblind support. What shall I test? If I am not colourblind, then too bad, I guess? - Absolutely this! The changes are so minor that I wonder what the actual point of this particular PT is. Normalisation seems to be the biggest change but isn't a massive change and the rest of the GUI changes didn't need a whole PT to test out.

 

In summary the PT is where we, the public, get an early look at the next patch and "help" WG out by testing it. In return for our work WG usually let us play around with lots of money, doubloons, captain skills and ships etc and everyone's happy. So why on earth would WG change that formula to something which is deliberately antagonising to those people who give their free time to help WG out by making it much less fun than any other PT by including "grind" missions before we can actually start the testing for them.

 

I genuinely don't understand the logic and, sadly, I don't think I'll spend my time on this PT and instead will see how the 0.5.11 PT looks before deciding whether to bother with PT's again.

 

Sorry WG!

 

I was also misleaded to PT thinking I would have a sneak peak at the german Battleships.

Participating in this PT seems like a waste of time as the changes are barely noticeable. Also the playing crowd in PT is terrible : now i'm just doing some games in coop mode lol.

Anyway, WG will get some feedback and me that premium day and few flags...

Instead of saying that, pls, go to the bugs section and there u can see all know bugs published by the players

constructors very well

managers suicidally

OK why ruin Division with Balanced Divisions......... why can you not have a difference of 2/3 tier difference between Division?????? If your a skilled player then you can come out in a tier II Dresden and play against tier V Texas ship and still survive to the end, as I've done it and got a bloody good score to boot. So must be all these kids that firstly can't steer a ship while firing, or its the group of moaners who feel there been hard done by, when they enter a division to see a tier II in a tiers IV or V battle and feel there gonna lose because of it. Well i think your just made the game worse War gaming, never heard of  playing a lesser ship to learn and adapt your skills before moving up to those levels.

2nd its very nice that you have been offering: For participating in our Public Test, you will be rewarded the following goodies on the live server once the update hits the open waters.

However, why can you not swap these over to our normal accounts, as we have earned them in the first place, and why do we always lose them if we haven't used them quick enough at the end of the Public test, why can't we carry them over to the next test, just like why can't we carry over the ships that we have researched and bought from public test to public test. As i take it you won't even allow them to be added over in normal game play either.

And finally, i give up with this test server as you stated: (Public Test 0.5.10 Preps You For German Battleships) but where are they, not in this test server.

 

When are you gonna start adding Royal Navy ships? let us know and might be back to give them ago, but with the German ghost fleet in this public test server 0.5.10, it looks like the RN surely must be next ones out on release? Can someone in Authority explain this and reassure us the paying public that you are bringing out more ships from the RN??????

Well - learning is there a little more expensive - so why not leave that possibility on T 1 ?

 

And there is still a strange question open. I went once on my own with a Hermelin in a pvp battle. On the other side was a T2 division with 2 dd. It was hard to play against them -  and I lost,

but now it would be impossible to win. Is that matchmaking fixed ?

 

Other question is why do you change the T 1 ships they were fine and at least some fun to play ... . I don't think it will really help anyone to nerve them.

No more T1-sealclubbing in Mikasa

Still waiting for a response on what is up with the German BBs.

Starting to think that we really won't be given the opportunity to test them.

Not a big problem, they will be here soon enough, but the lack of communication is pretty awful.

[TheCinC]

Quick question:

 

Why am I not allowed to type pie?

I like pie.

Love pie, even.

I had some pie earlier this week.

Delicious apple pie.

But when I type this on the PTS, it gets turned into ***.

Is this a bug, a joke, or does pie mean something horrible in some other language?

[ikill30]

Maps in last update enjoy a mix seems to be repeating same thing gets a bit old. would be great DLC style 4 new maps 2 New ships. still love the game play it just needs that something special.

[AndyHill]

Any word on that division bug? I would like to get some flags but can't.

[Grumpy_Gamer]

had a good run for 2 days,only problems are niggly [possible new client d/load problem, reset always works] all up to t8 ,then what ?

have to say dis-appointed there are no german bb to test,hopefully they can come soon,sad-face because no torps on bismark[i guess thats why you let us try tirpitz to see what we will miss,and buy before stocks run out lol]

all the problems i have had have been dis-cussed,only one missing is the divisions still seem to be a pain and arent very intuitive,maybe have a 'looking for' section in chat where you can just click and see whats going on.

also the 3 battles appeared again today,which i completed again,i know everything is supposed to be sent at the end of test,but just checking to see if yesterdays didnt register or whether its a daily thing?

hope-fully something else is added because with-out t10's and no german bb and 5days left,theres not much left apart from grind

Bismarck never received torps so there is no reason whatsoever for her to have them ingame. btw the division mission finally worked for me today.

It is mentioned in the first post of this thread:

Please leave any general feedback on version 0.5.9 here.

Please note that German Battleships are not included, since this session is aimed at testing new game features.

Tested to be right exept divisions - they will meet T 2 at least over Division! I think this step is so wrong - just like taking away the secondaries moduls! The players should be able to learn the game mechanics in these T 1 ships. Now this is impossible! These stats of ships do not help to develop skills!

Even bath tube ships were more fun and valuable lesson as these T1 now !

 

If you lose with higher ships you have to earn credits too. I guess this will be another "punishment".

Do you want players to pay more money for credits?

 

You should remove that change!

 

I still think that "fault division setup" is wrong too - cause that simple step does not improve the gameplay at all!

 

Instead they should fix the real problems. But they will not ... I guess ? It might lead to some comercials ingame and more income.

 

You say you want to bring better play conditions. Imho ... you keep doing it worse ? Why ??
