The worst thing is, this looked to be a great update, if only that RPF nonsense wasn't getting shoehorned into it.

 

I think WG is mixing up "positive reaction towards the update" with "positive reaction to the RPF skill specifically" because I have only seen a mere handful positive comments aboutt hat skill among the hundreds of comments that decry it as BS.

 

Anyway, I had been looking forward to that IJN premium CV WG was hinting at ... no longer WG. Not when you turn this game into a n00b fiesta with crutch mechanics like this. Predicting where the enemy will be is a skill that should be learned by the player, not granted on a silver platter by spending four captain skill points ffs!


Stop taking drugs!

So they've done an extra week of PT for little to no reason...

 

No they wanted to ignore more feedback so they could spoil us even more :honoring:

 

 

It was only sent to iChase and ThinderChief, both highly trustworthy sources for community feedback. I mean, if not iChase' video proof and the limitless gaming experience of ThinderChief do not substantiate that there is nothing wrong with Radiowhateveritscallednow then you must be still living in the '90s.

 

I hope they enjoy the fruit of their labour and I welcome them about RMS Titanic as this tittle is follow WoWp real soon...

 

edit:

 

The worst thing is, this looked to be a great update, if only that RPF nonsense wasn't getting shoehorned into it.

 

Ofc, they had to spoil us with something in order for some people who just don't understand the impact ( or who only benefit from it ) of this atrocious crutch of a situational awareness and map tactics ' replacement '.

Okay, so feedback isn't taken into account at all.

 

Guess it's time to abuse the crapout of this skill, just wondering which ships do it best.

This is a lot worse than many of the other WG [edited]ups so far. This should not die down until RDF is removed or nerfed to the ground.

So, not only does RPF go through, CVs still get useless new skills, and BBs will have the time of their lives.

 

Well, I will continue playing, because this is too much of a drug for me, to be honest. But I will not spend a euro more on this game. And, to give more context, I've spent my fair share of money up until now, including the ultra-Scharnhorst package for example, premium every month and some doubloons occasionally.

Ok Lets makes the most of a bad situation. We must remember that we play this game for fun! So lets have fun, and at the same shove it to WG. I plan to:-

1. Put my Benson captain with 18 points, into my Clemson.RPF added. How will that affect the impression of the game for new players?
2. Give all my radar/hydro equipped cruisers RPF. Belfast, Perth, Leander, Cleveland even. Probably all cruisers come to think of it.
3. My Gremmy Captain will get it too, and any other "gun boat".
4. Perhaps on low tier battleships too, just sail serenely away from the DD that the team didn't kill.

We all know that a well concealed DD, mid to late game, can swing it, perhaps not so much now. Let the DD apocalypse begin.

It could well be a seal clubbers paradise. How many new players will just give up, as its no fun? They have effectively put a wall hack into game that beginners won't have. Did they even think that through?



Also what other good games are scheduled for release in 2017. Please list. Preferably not Free to play, pay to win, er advance.....

I'm also looking forward to the feedback about IFHE... German BBs with that skill will wreak havoc even with angled CAs

Polls on forums show 90% against, PTS feedback portion of the forum is full of people openly against RPF.

Now some random survey that many never even saw is the only place they took feedback from or are willing to listen to?

 

This is ****ing incredible, the amount of boneheaded stupidity and contempt on display from WG.

The new year just started and they already managed to f it up.

Wouldn't want to have too many skills contending with RPF. They have to make sure people pick it to show it's popular and therefore by their completely [edited] logic that it's fine.

But I will not spend a euro more on this game. 

 

If I had a € for every time I read this, I would have made Viktor a serious offer to buy the WoWS rights from WG.

 

Then I would have renamed the skill to "Radio indication thingy", made the indication icon look like a rainbow and reintroduced the Kitakami to the game, to calm down the playerbase at the same time.

And, ofc, I would have made the Santa boxes an all year thing, to get every cent out of the gambling addicts, while the only prem ships that could be drawn from them are Emdens, Albanys and Krispy Creams.

"Some say" :)   few days ago

 

 they will nerf BBs with Repair party consumable cooldown from 80sec premium to 100sec premium  - I don't see that in this patchnotes, sooooooooooo no BIG nerf for BBs again :)  

 

In this game you got to be masochist to play anything but BBs - so i will play BB 80-90%  - game made me to do that..

 

Cruiser will come closer to kill DD with RTF, 1 fire less and 10% less chance  - BB will have time of there life in this game :)

Tier 5 will be RPF equipped Kamikaze running from RPF equipped Kamikaze, each assuming they're being track by a Blys (who's still afk at spawn) :teethhappy:

 

I'd take Izy over Clemson at tier 4. Higher HE DPM and can safely roast KM BBs at range after messing up the KM DDs.

So, gentlemen place your bets. Disaster, or succes?

 

Probably neither. Just another patch, at least after few days when everybody will be playing just like before, when they find their dreaded gamebraking skill won't have much effect.

Interesting... IFHE is now -3% fire +25% pen... not +30% anymore...

 

and "Changed the armour penetration for Akizuki’s explosive shells from 19 mm to 17 mm."

I know, I know. But it's just a matter of mind over matter. Want to buy premium time? Look at that RPF icon. Close the paypal window, close the game, go play Diablo 3.

They clearly didn't have a plan B for this sh*t. And they need an even number of skills. Jeezus.

 

They just use feedback as a way of fine tuning something they have decided will be in the game anyway. It's painfully clear now.
