27 admiral_noone Members 312 posts 2,789 battles Report post #7 Posted August 15, 2017 WG should fix the bug where ARP and HSF voices simply do not trigger, even for existing lines. All WG has to do is just slot the existing lines back into the commands they represent, and just replace the new lines with silence (so we just here the radio beep). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I respect that, there's a lot of reason to suspect they might be out of whack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I respect that, there's a lot of reason to suspect they might be out of whack. How did you even come to that conclusion? They're pretty much done being tested and even Octavian has stated they've just finalized them and then they stated in the developers blog which state they're going to be released and then stated they've finalized the heals. Meaning everything is pretty much done and they're just waiting for the patch to drop them. They're just letting you play the tier 9 the same way they let you play the tier 9 French cruiser in the PTS before they dropped. They're just giving you a chance to play a ship from the line and get a taste right before the line drops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because WG has been very consistent about using PTS and ST-on-live and even Premium-ship-on-live as opportunities to gather data about things they're just trying or unsure of. Lately, they haven't been shy about throwing things back to testing if they aren't working out, although PTS seems to be the "showstoppers only" stage. Here are some examples: RN BB phase where they had cruiser consumables: Supertested on live; Scrapped and redesigned Graf Zeppelin +-shaped triple TB phase: Supertested on live; Scapped and redesigned (still not released) Enterprise with loose staggered torps and 500lb AP bombs: Supertested on live; released; being used to gather data for tech tree CV revision Citadel and deck armor changes on US BBs: Public tested on PTS; released They've had the RN BBs in the game files and ready to release for months at this point; if they didn't feel they needed one last playtest to gather data (e.g. on penetration rates, grossly out of band survival rates), I don't see why they'd be on PTS at all instead of on live.

Night time, lower visibility - you gave us storms, you can throw this one out there too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
