Transylvania Operations - no thanks

[Blackeon]

Really not a fan of these modes,just seems a silly distraction to me.

Fine just ignore them then...... however all the normal operations are shoved aside for these so you can't play the proper game.

A silly one off Halloween special is one thing but this two week marathon is just a reason to avoid the game.

Proper game = operations?

Just go play random games...

Noone forces you to play them, don't like = ignore.

if the PvE operations are the 'proper game' for you, then wows is not the right game for you...

[elblancogringo]

I think wargaming, for once, did an amazing job in the development of these 2 Halloween operations (especially the upcoming one). 

Sorry for you if you don't like them. 

Nobody forces you to play.

[Blackeon]

No one forces me to play, that is my point, I will play less.

These Operations are like a cartoon with silly totally unrealistic ships and silly objectives.

One of the draws to these sort of games is immersion and the link to real ships and real events. There are dozens and dozens of games out there that have fantastical settings but I think they ofgten have limited appeal because they don't connect with the real world in the same way.

Of course I know WoWS is not a 'Sim' but I just think this mode jars with the rest of the game.

I really like the Operations as PvE concept, of course they could be better, they could be expanded but hopefully with a feel lose to the real world.

The other point is the less I play the less I am likely to pay!

Just to remind: the coop was for training purposes. Operations were added after the game had been running quite a bit.

If you think operations is the "normal" game, you are wrong, find a PvE game if PvE is what you like, world of warsips is mainly a PvP game.

I will find PvE games thanks.....

I have played PvP since WoT Open Beta and logged around 17,0000 PvP games with WoT and WoWS and frankly I am burnt out with the mode (this is not the play to explain why).

I am aware that COOP was developed for training, but why are players in Tier 6, 7 and even 8 playing it then? Maybe WG might see more players using this mode and decide there is mileage in it?

I think the development of PvE has huge potential and was hoping Operations would be part of that development, of course WG can do what the heck they like, and the PvP lovers can stay with the mode, but I thought a Forum was a way to express an opinion about a game that might contribute to it's development.

It takes you like 2-3 clicks to select an operation.

 

Are you getting your panties in a twist for the sake of getting your panties in a twist?

Well then that is your issue, burnout.

 

The PvE operations in its normal mode are bound to come back, new ones too, you are making a temporary event into your scapegot, if it floats your boat...

Sigh .... yes if you are in a division you can

But might other point is this "special" goes on far too long as it really doe not fit with the feel of the rest of the game

But no one is forcing you to play it, no one forced people to play the anime ships as well.

 

I would disagree that it does not fit with the feel of the game, it's boats shooting other boats.  The only difference is, this one is much more fun(2nd part especially).

Nah, this special is 2 weeks too short, we should have a full month with halloween, maybe tehn people would grasp that jackal HE has 0% fire chance and half the damage.

And as pointed out, in a game about ships shooting ships, where is the "not fitting" part? Please enlighten us.

Sooooo.... weird looking Halloween ships with bizarre giant fire ball throwing catapults fits with a game built around realistic looking WW ships?

At least with the normal game there is the attempt to make them seem realistic. "seem" being the key word as this is clearly not a SIM.

Guess you never read or heard about steampunk?

Also, realistic? You mean like half the paper ships there are in game?

This is an arcade game, half of the ships existed only as scribbles on napkins. 

So because someone doesn't like an event we shouldn't get events?

Again, You don't like it, don't play it no one is forcing you. Once the Halloween skins start popping up in PvP turn them off just like all the other event skins.

Not a cyberpunk game though is it.

"SEEM" realistic was the phrase I used and emphasized, and to be honest not a fan of paper ship as you call them when there were so many actual ships that could be chosen.

Again please note the "SEEM" realistic phrase ....

I never said they were forcing me to play, nor suggested no one else should play the mode ...

Just expressing an opinion on a game forum, which is what I thought game forums were for.

If you love the mode fair enough, just say that, but I wish posters didn't keep stating the obvious that I am not forced to play the mode.

[Ranyxx]

Personally, for a short-time optional mode, I find no issue with the event.  I do sometimes have to shake my head in disbelief at how much time and effort they put into it considering all the other issues with the main game that still haven't been addressed.  If I were to have a gripe, however, it would be the fact that it has now been rolled into their "Operations" battles.  Compared to last year where you could play the mode multiple times and earn some camos each time, as an Operation, after you have gotten your 5 stars, there really is no reason to play it at all.

You miss the point.

These kind of operations it's a break from reality/rotine of random, co-op, even other operations, like mardi gras. You know, like Rio de Janeiro, samba.

I'm enjoying, I could enjoy more if the players did their part. You know, not going sight seeing, etc.

but that is asking too much.

after Halloween it's back to normal, so relax and enjoy until it last.

I disagree, pretty worthy it.

it's fun, and I don't have a 19 points captain.

So I've to take advantage of this borrowed captains

If you believe it is worth it, then by all means, keep playing it.  But, can you use those captains on other ships?  If so, I imagine that was an oversight by WG.  Regardless, the way one would optimally spec those 19-point captains for the Halloween mode differs greatly from how they would be spec'd for Random battles.  Personally, I must have around 20 19-point captains so, meh.  Again, after one has completed the mission with 5-stars, as far as I'm aware, there is nothing left to earn by continuing to play it.
