Vaderan Alpha Tester 1,103 posts 2,741 battles Report post #3 Posted October 25, 2017 IF this move attracts new players, what can we expect? I´d say, at least 8 out of 10 new players will be attracted by the picture of them, sitting in a nice and shiny BB, prowling the seas and shooting stuff. With the lack of good, suited guides on how to play BBs properly, those new players will quickly adapt to the ever present "stay behind and snipe" BB meta, infusing the already out of hand BB overpopulation. With a step like this, gaining a whole new playerbase via steam, WG would have had a great opportunity to introduce a big change to the game, making BBs much more skill depending and cruisers much more viable, to attract all these new players for something else than just shiny BBs, without the risk of a big disappointment, if the "low demand on skill" playstyle of BBs might be changed in a future...

That would pi$$ me off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, your HACKERS are bound to the steam platform and just wait untill a new game is introduced to their code lair. Since they fear the outside of the internet and die to sunlight only games brought to them via the steam launcher get affected and are doomed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[GW_KR] nooberg Players 227 posts 25,886 battles Report post #15 Posted October 25, 2017 It's funny how people can put negative twist on something so wonderful as More Players into the game. You scared the neewbees will taint the game with their stink ? We need more, ALOT more. The more the better. Without new blood games eventually die, something I dont want to happen to game so good as WoW. 500 BBs in a queue ? I would like to see 50 000. And dont expect only BB's, people are a diverse bunch. My guess is if you put 10 000 new players in, they will eventually settle down to the current ratios between classes. Because you know, they are just like us. 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[BLITZ] WeGreedy Players 3,005 posts 14,998 battles Report post #20 Posted October 25, 2017 Funny thing is, a lot of players want a free game, hate new players and people in premium ships/with premium camo. Can anyone tell me how this fits together? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[SCRUB] WolfGewehr Weekend Tester, In AlfaTesters 2,844 posts 11,496 battles Report post #21 Posted October 25, 2017 Overall ships as a genre is imho so niche thing that I'd never expect WoWS to get WoT numbers of players. More new players would be good to keep fresh blood flowing indeed, but can't just see it happen so easily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
