Take your pick of Patch Notes:

 

EU: https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/updates/patch-notes-060/

Asia: https://worldofwarships.asia/en/news/announcements/ver-06_0-patchnotes/

NA: https://worldofwarships.com/en/news/common/update-notes-060/

 

Nothing seems different from the last round of Public testing (Including RPF).

Discuss.

 

Edit: NA patch notes say BB catapult fighter is now 90secs. Asia patch notes still say 60secs. EU also says 90 secs (inclined to believe 90 secs is the new true value).

Edit 2: Added the EU version of patch notes.

So basically the assumption for the 19th/20th this week holds true... ok

 

 

Greetings

 

Yes we are getting the patch on Thursday, unless it goes wrong for NA on Wednesday.

Sadly even constructive and well written feedback just gets thrown out of the window to include a skill that is highly controversial and a lot of people don't wanna see.

 

I have to admit WG, you have really balls of steel and wanna see the community on fire... because thats most probably what you get with this move now... And that will be most probably nothing compared to the Santa shitstorm...

 

i think its fine

Don't forget to pick it on your Nicholas with your 19point captain.. because sealclubbing was never made easier...

 

let the hunting season begin

Well R.I.P

 

And i see they did a last second buff to the BBs with the catapult fighters, time increased from 60s to 90s. Weird, because these fighters are meant as a defensive tool against CV planes, so like AA which only last 30 seconds.

Really not happy about RPF I mean not 1 change to this skill despite all the negative feedback, 1st from the Leak then the super testers then the 1st round of test then the 2nd and not 1 change not 1 they flat out ignored every thing, its exactly as iv said WG have there anti-stealth agenda and don't care what we think or protest about it.

 

One thing I noticed from the 2nd test that changed "For battleships, the time the Catapult Fighter consumable is active for was decreased to 90 seconds" so they buffed it by 30 seconds from the 60 they nerfed it too. (EDIT seems the NA saying 90sec and ASIA is saying 60sec)

 

Also being able to make clans is welcome.

Concerning Catapult Fighter consumable, Asia notes state 60 secs duration while NA notes state 90 secs...

I can equip my Belfast with Radio Position Finding and Concealment Expert... :trollface:

 

 

Still, after all that (well versed) feedback regarding RPF, and how it breaks the game, WG decides just to plow through :facepalm: Maybe they just want to beat the record for "fastest downfall" that's currently held by Armoured Warfare.

"Great" accomplishment with regard how WG and the development team handles the feedback of actual players. I am really, really baffled about the ignorance shown towards a non negligible part of the playerbase when it comes to the new RPF/Radio Location (or however it will be named). Those players even made quite an effort to point out the problems with that particular skill and argued very well in their cases. But apparently it is fine to take a dump on every gameplay scenarios, actual game experience they provided over the course of two test server iterations.

 

I urge every DD captain to simply stop playing their destroyer after 0.6.0! Let them have their stale, immobile battleship style. Let them have the world of warbattleships without any long range torpedoes that would otherwise disperse the stationary artilleries on water.

 

This is not how public tests work and feedback by the playerbase is processed at all.

And this, boys and girls, shows, just how much your/our feedback matters. GG WG WP EZ.

 

Why are they even asking people to give feedback anyway? 

 

I wish the best of luck to all competitive clans, to play with this skill. Maybe introduce 40 min games.

I'd personally suggest not playing at all the day that patch hits. Or alternately snapping the skill up, plonking a captain with it in a really low tier destroyer, and sealclubbing hard enough that RPF is considered a scumbag skill. Preferably whilst telling everybody that only horrible people with no skill pick RPF in the in-game chat. Not playing should be easier.

WG simply doesn't give a flying fock.

 

Yeah the few players that have a brain and are vocal will complain  and some like me will even stop playing entirely. But that means nothing as the average mouth-breather that can't understand simple concepts like concealment will not really even realize what's going on.

Competitive scene will be a joke as well.

I guess i will see you guys in 4-5 patches (9 months time down the road) when they MAYBE remove it or nerf it to the ground.

Then I will simply use RPF equipped cruisers to hunt these un-enlightened fools to the errors of there ways and hunt them with out mercy using a lame skill WG decided was fine.

 

I know I wont be playing my destroyrs much if at all till its changed.

This reminds of one game maybe a week ago. There was a player in a Gaede or Maass and insulted two Belfast players of hacking because they radar-ed his sorry ship out of the game, which was of course sitting stationary in its own smoke.

 

Detection mechanics are complicated enough already (for some players at least, obviously) but it is fine to bring even more complicated mechanics into play to make those people even more irritated...

Abusing the s**t out of RPF is probably the only way to prove, that WG made a mistake... only hard server statistics might show the right way.

Just in time for the next ranked battle season.

 

If the IJN DD split didn't already put people off playing them this patch will and most DDs for that matter ofc gunboats like the Russian's will be the least affected because they are almost always spotted anyway.

Good job WG, congratulations.

 

 

[–]Sub_Octavian 1 point 6 minutes ago* 

You are generalizing, with all due respect. I am truly sorry you are not satisfied with our decision, but "listening to" does not mean "doing exacty as a group of players wants".

According to PTS survey, the majority of players are satisfied or happy with skill changes (with RU giving the worst grades, BTW). According to our own conclusions, changes are good, too. And here we see there are people who stated that changes are good, and RPF is not broken - but thay are successfully mocked and insulted. I saw that.

We absolutely heard and studied "against" arguments - and decided that "for" is stronger here. It is our responsibility.

I accepted lots of valuable feedback here, and many improvements/fixes were made thanks to this community! But that doesn't mean we will agree with all players 10 times out of 10, unfortunately.

 Too bad I can't look into the surveys because I simply do not believe you.
