history repeating itself?

[GiN_nTonic]

WG screwed up with World of Warplanes (WoWP) by doing things no one was asking for and messing with things that weren't broken....only to break it and end up spending the limited resources they had on nonsense over actually implementing important factors like clan wars etc.  Yes,  yes, WG just released a video explaining that in 2017 they are working on bringing clan wars.  Little do most people know the same promises (exact same) were made in WoWP and it never came.  History could repeat itself if WG doesn't rein themselves in when it comes to major changes on in-game elements that few think need to be fixed or changed.

[TTK_Aegis]

Exact same? Really? They promised back then it would be out in 2017? 

[devastator5000]

They funny thing about this is WG admitted in a video last year that their idea for the game differed from the players and with player feedback the games direction was shifted, so its not like WG is trying to mess the game up they are doing their best

Maybe it's just me but have they ever really given us any idea as to what this grand original plan was for the game? I'd like to hear where they thought they wanted to go so I can compare it to where we are. 

 

They seem to do a lot of stuff a few moves ahead but it doesn't always pan out then have to back track to get us where we wanna be. It's odd.

Exact same about announcing CW was coming in the next year in one of those "whats next" videos.  So, yes, not 2017

[MidnightShamalan]

lol.

 

you're comparing a very popular game to a game that was dead on launch.

 

the Dev crew for this game listens to it's players' feedback, and takes it into account. that doesn't mean they're going to let a few really loud whiners keep them from making a change they want to make. and if they do mess up, they'll fix it. they care about the game. and the game is continuing to grow, despite the naysayers.

 

don't get your panties in a twist just because you're scared of change. adapt.

At least there are anime people sustaining the population unlike Planes where only the most persistent of people remain...

 

Bringing clan wars...meaning, clan system but no clan wars, leaving it to community to organize one of their own...could well be...

For WoWP, though, it was one mistake after another that was the killing blow, IMO. We shall see if WG will keep making more mistakes with Ships to the point they become reluctant to release clan wars...

[gurudennis]

WoWs is no WoWp. There is hardly any cause for alarm, you're overreacting.

The expression "if it isn't broke dont fix it" was born out of the fact when people start to mess with things that dont need to be messed with they risk breaking it.  So yes, WG isn't trying to intentionally mess the game up, but when you start making changes to things no one thought was broke you risk doing the very thing you didn't want to do.

 

If anyone has followed WoWP you can see a good example of how that ends up happening.

​Nonsense. WoWp failed because it was not as fun as it's nearest competitor. From the beginning right out of the box it just was not good. WOWS started out great and keeps getting better.

[dmarsha9]

I agree with you Gin. However WOWS hasn't had it's break everything patch. And it's not Persia.

[goldeagle1123]

WoWp was a failure because the game's approach to aerial combat is outright inferior to that of WT's.

Either players are not aware of what happened to WoWP or you're just repeating what you've heard.  WoWP launched with decent (not great) player population.  It was successive changes to the game that took it from meh to straight bad and nearly unrecoverable.

[GiN_nTonic]

lol...  you obviously can't read well.  I'm not complaining about the actual changes but rather the warning resources going into changes that no one really cared about changing.  Id personally rather have seen a RN battleship line over modifications to the captain skills.  Id rather see many things over some of the adjustments they made.

It went from being able to sustain matches at high tier level with decently-sized teams with acceptable queue time and constantly full mid-low tier matches to having to wait for almost an hour for one paltry match...but a good number of folks would blame the changes in flight mechanics that, to some, rendering the game unplayable. I wasn't very much affected by controls, but having to wait tens of minutes for one match took me out for some time.

[TenguBlade]

All I see is a player whose key vehicle is the Gremyashchy crying about how this patch is going to break this game like WoWP.

These changes come from different departments of the developer. There is a team that does the work of 3d modeling for the ships then it's sent to the texturing team and from there to sound and mechanics. Which is a different department from UI and programming. You can have many different aspects of the game going on at the same time in a studio and not everyone works on the same project at the same time.the skill tree revision happened to be ready for testing and release. We will see a good bit more from the British lines as well as others this year. Along with a CV rework that last told was coming with the British CVs.
