511 TheGhostCat Beta Testers 840 posts 595 battles Report post #1 Posted July 8, 2015 I'm just saying, OBT only launched 2 weeks ago for CBT folks and 1 week ago for OBT. Yes this game has issues...but it's still being testing/developed...and yes I do believe WG wants our feedback, but for the most part they will use the data the attain from us playing...and then to more testing! IMO, I feel most of these issues are due to so many of us being new to this game, but not new to gaming. So lets not forget to talk about things we like as well! I feel that's also a very important aspect of feedback for the dev team. I'll start: 1)This game doesn't feel as grindy as wowp did, this tells me I'm having fun while playing! And I am, this game is great change of pace from wot. I am having an absolute blast playing cruisers! 2) I really really like the captain skill tree. I think this is a fantastic way to individualize your experience, while keeping the 'crew skills' we've come to expect from WG products 3)The Flag system is fantastic. I enjoy the bonus' I am able to earn, and they are far more noticeable bonus' then the personal reserves in wot. Feel free do add things you enjoy about the game. 22 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We aren't (unless you mean I'm complaining about the nooblets complaints) complaining, I am seeing those with 30 games making hard and fast statements about the state of balance. At 30 games you haven't even scratched the surface on game mechanics and haven't played nearly enough to call for game adjustments. I'm seeing this far too often, that and people who play only one class asking for nerfs to support the class they are currently grinding. It's getting old already and it's only been a week! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

77 Gyarados Alpha Tester 101 posts 4,195 battles Report post #12 Posted July 8, 2015 Complaining is how things get fixed. There are some things that people probably shouldn't be complaining about, but bringing them up probably brings at least some attention to the issues that the players have. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1 trashguy Beta Testers 8 posts 1,593 battles Report post #18 Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) This is the status quo for most games now. Entitled kids crying with little to no input on how to actually resolve any issues. Something is unfair to them so the game is broken. Not to mention a lot of these new people are getting thrown in games with some players that have been playing for many months and people don't like loosing.

And the firehose of flaming death that is the Atlanta, oh yeah. My favorite thing probably about the game is that the stock ships don't seem as crap as stock tanks and airplanes. I always feel like I have something to contribute. This^ I love BBs, i love cruisers, and i love DDs, I haven't started on CVs yet, kinda waiting till theres some sort of aircraft destruction bonus as i enjoyed going fighter heavy USN in CBT. But i'm also a tester, and i see problems with the enjoyment level of my favorite class, So i point it out at every opportunity to make sure my voice remains heard. Thats the point of testing, feedback. HE fire chance needs to be looked at, its not as bad as everyone assumes at low tier, but it could use some adjustments. perhaps a absolute damage floor for fire damage, where it can only do up to 80% of HP damage, if your below 20% health remaining a fire cant light (all combustibles on deck exhausted? who knows). OR a diminishing return on fire damage. Where it starts off with the current damage tick and the damage goes down a little each tick until its extinguished. Manual drop needs adjustments, or straight up removal. Its presence is imbalanced by itself, to have a 100% skill based no RNG weapon system that is so powerful, while every other weapon system in the game is at the mercy of RNG. And something needs to be done to make AA screening and fighter heavy CV loadouts more profitable so that more people are willing to run those configurations.

We also want to hear what you like about it as well. Keep in mind that providing suggestions/constructive criticism on how to improve the aspects of the game you may be unhappy with will help us understand what you are looking for. You can boil all these threads down into really 4 centeral themes: People don't like the amount of fire and the HE/AP situations. They want it reduced and AP to be more effective. Matchmaking leaves alot to be desired, especially the situations with multiple carriers and higher tier carriers. People want more balanced matches and for CV's to less of a OP factor in many of these matches. Torpedoes are dominating many aspects of the game, on the flip side AA is ineffective especially at lower tiers and players have really no defense against them. BB's are horrible, they are slow, sluggish, they don't turn and they are easy prey for CA's, DD's, and CV's The forum is full of 100 of threads and thousands of words, but basically 80% or more of it can be covered by those 4 items.

697 Brofisticus Beta Testers 2,196 posts Report post #25 Posted July 9, 2015 Its harder to find a thread about what you like than it is to find threads about things you don't like. Its just human nature to complain about things you don't like and keep quiet about things you do. Things I like: 1. Core game play mechanics. 2. Reasonably accurate naval combat. 3. Responsive dev team (though a bit twitchy). 4. Great visuals. Things I don't: 1. Carriers are a crap shoot. 2. Battleships have terrible shot groupings (primary and secondary). Things Id like to see: 1. Weather (Rain, Lightning, Blizzards). 2. Special explosion for "Detonation" kills (Hood, Yamato). 3. Naval style objectives (convoy, guard/kill the carrier, etc.). 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
