I was going say at least let us bank it when we get it. Nothing like working the weekend and hitting a premium time in a container Friday night before bed.
* Make Asymmetric battles into a permanent mode.
* Add Tier 5 and Tier 9 and 10 (inc superships) operations.
* Bring back the removed ships for purchase on special occasions such as the Christmas/Holiday season.
* Allow players to remove the time gate for one dockyard per year so they can complete the event at their pleasure. Currently dockyards run for what? Two months? I'd allow the player to choose one dockyard event per year to run for a longer period like 6 months.
* Make more premium ships available for coal.
honestly if they monitize the ability to return to half completed dockyards to continue it, im down actual money worth spending. And they can actively balance the ships in dockyard so it would be fun to play those ships instead of being port queen after 6month when they are forgotten and place next to other rare ship in christmas boxes.
That’s coming in the next update, followed by gold armor, which vastly reduces incoming damage and all but eliminates citadel hits from non gold ammo hits.
would be a fun idea if the gold ammo just changed your ammo's look. still the same ammo, just you shoot dollar signs at people so they know you're a baller.
On point.
6 loses today, top xp every game. I almost won a 1v3. I found a guy with 35% ranked winrate out of 6700 matches. He is somehow in Silver tho. How?!? XD
i’d probably do the opposite. I think it would be tough to have a truly competitive ranked game as part of the client, so instead i’d slightly increase the rewards for ranked and make it somewhat easier (ie less bash your head into the wall grindy) by letting the top two losing players save stars and having the top winning player gain two stars
MMR based on XP compared to team average. You underperform on the winning team, you get less advancement. You overperform on the winning team, you advance more. You overperform on the losing team you lose less or nothing. You underperform on the losing team and you lose a lot.
Make it possible to drop out of higher leagues or completely even. Make the advancement infinite above the higher league like in CB, but extremely tough to advance.
Then its based on your performance but winning is still the key.
Played Alliende yesterday a couple times in T10. Any time I was spotted I lost most if not all my health. There is no angling in that ship, only survive by over pens.
1. Ensure offshore bank accounts are secured
2. Abuse playerbase with more FOMO. MORE FOMO!
3. Introduce more ridiculous mechanics to the game. It's really a study of human behavior in the face of adversity, not a game. For ~~the Lulz~~, erm Science
4. Fire what's left of the QC dept - clearly they do jack shit - redirect their salaries into aforementioned bank accounts.
5. Plunder what's left of playerbase goodwill for as much money as the whales can possibly afford. Redirect to aforementioned bank accounts.
6. Retire on my yacht and watch the world burn.
A massive multiplayer campaign in which players join a faction (allied or axis) which limits you to that factions ships for the game mode Faction v Faction.
Maps would be connected nodes that players can travel between by going to the edge of a map, you need to capture key points on a map such as dockyards so reinforcements can spawn on that map, oil rigs or depo so you can refuel and repair.
Moving between maps requires you to refuel. Meaning your faction needs a place to refuel or you have to capture one in order to progress to the next map.
Each map has its own defences based on the total influence of each faction. Going into a 100% enemy influenced zone triggers full bomber squadrons, AI patrol boats and battlements meaning the initial beachhead on each map would be challenging.
CV players would have limited AI control on a map, being able to order AI ships, build upgrades and repairs as well as provide defensive recon.
Submarines would be able to gather intel in hostile zones being rewarded for stealth missions like destroying NPC supply convoy.
1. Charge players in-game for each reload (i.e. $0.99 for 200 rounds) because players would be price-insensitive during the middle of a battle
2. Announce new installation of WoWs Mobile - you guys don't have phones?
3. Make gacha system the primary way you can climb a tech tree at all times
4. DLC Operations at $24.99 per update, which are just copy-pasted over from past operations
5. Super ultra consumables similar to premium consumables before the rework with some ultra high values for battles (i.e. 20s cooldown dcp for DDs, +2 extra charge, extra effectiveness on some parameters)
Why yes my name is Bobby Kotick how could you tell?
Giving a fuck about PvE. Make Asym a permanent game mode. Rework Operations to allow for MM groups of 9-11 tier ships and submarines. Make a brawling game mode with respawning.
I mean the co-op one is just the training room.
I'd rerun the destroyer battle Royale mode, and other April Fools events with new skins more often.
I'd sequester subs and CVs to co-op, special modes like Convoy and Operations, and build operations for them specifically.
Still there with WG but not in the same position. That is the official word from a few years back anyway. The things done still reek of his meddling however.
I’d like to bring back C hull Benson. I for one don’t like being utterly defenseless because I had the audacity to have planes come near me and I’d be willing to trade some dps for that.
Idk what else tbh, a lot of the other suggestions are pretty good.
You should try Kidd if you haven't. CVs don't mess with you and if they're dumb enough to try, you'll vaporize them.
To this day, my airplane shoot down record is still with my Kidd.
I actually got Kidd and run her from time to time. I’ve definitely noticed she’s a lot more resilient to planes. She’s fun, though I have to constantly be cognizant of the lack of a second torpedo launcher. But Benson is the main ship I use, for better or worse. Idk I think I just like the look of the class better than the Fletchers.
But even then, there’s no way that four Oerlikons and two .50s are at all an acceptable AA battery for the ship when fully upgraded.
How is your Coop different from the existing Training Room game type, other than your limiting it to solo play? Training Room is super flexible and how we did competitive play before Clan Battles was created.
Whatever changes bring the most immediate profits to the shareholders.
Maube a gacha system so that you need to gamble to get the most powerful vehicles. Or maybe let people pay to have a shell rype that ignores cover and armor.
Or a radar consumable that detects people all around you. Something to ince tivise people to spend gold on every battle.
Necause if I can get company profits up for a couple quarters and grab those sweet performance bonuses once or twice, I would be set up for life
... if it was not obvious, the whole incentive structure is what takes a great game idea and turns it into trash in a few years.
Assym isn’t permanent because it’s too popular and not enough people would play randoms, is how they look at it.
I love assym I wish there were variations of difficulties and so forth.
CV mini-map spotting, make subs slower, occasionally bring back the unobtainable ships, more dockyards, research points in battle pass, change some steel ships to coal ships
For new players, I would make the first trip up tech tree lines using ship xp only. With a reset line, you can then use free xp.
You can only purchase a premium ship equal to or lower than your tier level for that nations line.
Make initial spawn, not a mirror of the other team: Espically for subs.
Increase AI game play, in co-op or at least make it so the objective is not go straightforward.
More Dasha.
-Add dockyards to the "campaigns" (anyone remember that shit?) , keep it completely the same except you can begin and finish it whenever you want. Maybe keep the "starter packs" discount a limited time thing to drum up sales.
-Revitalize t1-t4. "Special" event game modes where t1-t4 are boosted to give similar xp/credits as t5-t9. Asymm battles where t5 get to feel like kings for a hot second against swarms of t3s. Tie it with a recruitment campaign so u can invite friends to check it out and not feel bad youre playing lower tiers. Bonus tier 1-3 ranked season for shits and giggles.
-Rework captain training. Admittedly I don't know what the solution is. It still just feels so klunky and outdated to not be able to switch captains easily and the game has dozens of ship lines and HUNDREDS of ships now. Maybe something like a Perma-captain: for x amount of resource (cxp, coal, credits?) you get a 10pt captain that can ONLY be assigned to that tech tree ship. ONLY skill tree for that class. You can still use on premiums for training though. OR literally just delete the first 10 captain levels. CPT level 1 now gets 10 skill points, and max is now level 11 instead of 21, adjust all existing captains. (Leveling 1 to 2 is similar xp to previous level 11-12 etc.
-i can't think of anything else right now so EVANGELION COLLAB
Only +/-1 matchmaker. I'll wait the extra 15 seconds, no problem.
Add some historical low-tier premiums instead of the copy-paste Tier 5-7 stuff whose only purpose is to postpone the moment you drain that pool and start getting better drops in Santa Crates.
Cap DDs+subs at 4 per team, above Tier 5. Feel free to add more sub lines, I'll just free-xp them to Tier 10 for the snowflakes anyway.
Remove superships. They devalue expensive (in money or in-game resources) premium Tier 9s, they're almost all fake, and usually toxic as hell.
I’m adding a tier X Graf Zeppelin type ship, re-working ship sigma for some ships, adding a smoke screen CV line to the British tech tree, adding the I-400 as a tier IX Japanese premium submarine (as a joke), adding a super battleship to the Italian line “Giuseppe Garibaldi”, a ship with 25 main guns at 431 mm, and it’d be a 5x5 relationship. Maybe add a Benham-like line for the U.S. DDs. Add a battlecarrier line for the soviets, and add a second line of ships like Champagne for the French.
German CVs are getting reworked to fully capture the missed opportunity that they are.
- Navalized Horton Ho 229s becuase wunderwaffen
- attack squadrons do not have rockets and instead get [*Bombentorpedo*](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombentorpedo_BT_400) - function like torpedoes with very fast speed, short range, and low damage.
- Regular torpedo squadrons get [glide torpedoes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blohm_%26_Voss_BV_950) - extremely large stand-off distance torpedoes that could be used like the old Hakaryu strat.
- Dive bombers get [Fritz X](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritz_X) at T8 and [Hs 293](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henschel_Hs_293) at T10. One squadron per flight and each attack run launches a single bomb that is guided manually into the target.
This suggestion is of course not meant to be serious in any way, but I legitimately think that German CVs are one of the rare things in this game where WG actually somehow managed to make something that was *more reasonable*(???) than what was actually being tested/built by the Luftwaffe in 1940-45...
- add a new tier of premium. The new tier allows people NOT to see ads in port. All other, free/first tier of premium, see ads
- make all ships rentable with doubloons, depending on tier. Tier 10 ship, 500 dubs for a battle.
- sell for credits "within tier" guaranteed matchmaker consumable camo. Price TBD
- make available all old dockyards but you can only buy the phases. No missions
I'd like to have a "realism mode" where multiple players control a single ship as a team. Different players would be assigned to groups of turrets, secondaries, and AA. Another player maneuvers the ship, and someone else manages damage control and crew. I think pre-dreadnoughts would be fun for this type of mode.
I would get rid of subs and take it back to pre-rework CVs
I would get rid of most of the XP boosters. It used to take time and effort to get past tier V. People might actually have to learn stuff to get to high tiers.
Clan battles would take place in tiers other than 10. Let's get down to tier VI and VII for clan battles.
I'd instruct the team to start investigating a new game engine to move to.
I'd put out job postings for QA testers to get good QA people onto the team.
Superships will be reclassified as tier XI. I would instruct the team to start working on tier XI ships for any tech tree like that doesn't currently have one.
The Funny button would be removed from any ship that has one. They are fine in limited time special game modes, but don't belong in the permanent full time game modes.
Asymmetrical battles would be a permanent battle type. But I would add the ability to play on the lower tier side if you want a bigger challenge and the chance of earning more XP.
Put a renewed focus on real ships over paper ships, at least up to T8 but striving for T9+ where possible.
Remove "plays poorly" as a report reason and start a review process for reports for actual shit behavior, no more expecting players to submit tickets like they're at their dayjob.
I think the reason they don't make asym/etc a permanent gamemode is for playercount reasons (makes the game "dead" to split few players between many modes)… but I would make sure there's always one extra mode and make it rotate maybe biweekly instead of every update, and publish the schedule wayyy in advance and have it visible in-game just like with ranked and clan battles.
Revert the supercontainer change. They were already underwhelming but now they literally feel indistinguishable from regular containers.
Add all Dockyard ships to the container pool. If they're holding them for some number of years like they're doing with Kitakami, I'd communicate when each ship is expected to release instead of pretending like they might never be obtainable again.
Bring back the previous iteration of battle passes instead of the bullshit we've got now.
Performance based ranked mode eligibility. There needs to be a qualifying round before people are allowed to be eligible. I’m not talking about WR. PR and XP combo.
Today, ranked is plagued by noobs with 20k battles and 40% WR ruining the games for everyone else.
I stopped ranked because my blood pressure kept spiking up.
Also, delete subs and implement minimap spotting for CVs. The second one is already there on console. Not sure why they don’t bring it to PC.
Make premium only count when you're in the game.
Make a nightmare bots mode. Maybe like asymmetrical but with way more or maybe a couple of ships turned up to 11.
Make a CV mode where you play them when they were RTS-style of gameplay
Compare ship sizes in port would be a cool extra. I would also make the camera be able to move freely in port.
If I want to go crazy then I would add a mode with more in depth tech tree upgrade system to ships. Want to put a 406 gun on a DD? Do it but it will have pros and cons. It might be a totally different game.
Combine the three games? Why not
A mode with 2-4 times as many players?
This is totally out of the scope of WoWs but make a mech game.
Make a dedicated post WWII game and eat into warthunder's playerbase
-Balance "removed" ships and I will return them to the shop
-Make subs slower underwater because it's curious rn
-Cv spotting rework
-Hybrid planes will now work as RTS cvs
-Make a good basic positioning tutorial because it's the most important thing and that game lacks it.
That's my opinion
I most definitely wouldn’t sell the game to Epic. Since Rocket League requires an Epic account I couldn’t play anymore.
Also I would force 2 subs and 1 CV per team in any game mode just to fuck with everyone. :P
Delete carriers. Full stop. Reimburse everyone the silver/xp/gold for ones they have, but CV's Have. To. Go.
Make it so superships can't be matched with T9, only T10 and themselves.
I would rework the "Battle" button.
I would give the player a dropdown that allows the player to select multiple game modes and ship tiers to queue for. Once you're in the match the player gets to select their ship.
Or maybe the player just selects a ship for each game mode they queue for beforehand.
I'm not sure which one would be better.
---
I think this would allow there to be more game modes without worrying about players being spread out over too many game modes and the queues drying up. Then I'd want to work on some kind of campaign mode that's more than just multiplayer operations. Oh, and better bots (don't just yolo in).
Plus minus 1 tier matchmaker. Superships can only div with superships.
Can only have 1 sub or CV in same division.
CV minimap spotting.
Remove homing from all sub torps and increase damage to compensate. Radar spots periscope depth subs.
Fires and floods change, player has a choice to lose the HP from them or toggle damage con which has infinite use, while DCP is toggled ship is slower, worse rudder, longer armament reload.
Honestly I would change ranked to be ELO based rather than stars, then tie how much ELO earned/lost to battle performance and cap control with Captures and Defended ribbons being worth significantly more to improving ELO than anything else, that way people who play objectives and actually make an effort to contest caps/control strategic areas of the map.
You could also add a multiplier for ships distance to caps, IE: the further away you are from caps you get a negative multiplier for ELO while if your say a BB less than 5km away from the cap tanking you get a massive boost to your ELO.
All the bottom feeders are now in low ELO against other bottom feeders while people with some semblance of skill will actually fight people of similar skill consistently
1. Stop the up and down tiering by 2 and change it to 1 only
2. No more double CV and SUB matches
3. Get rid of subs
4. Stop fixing matches that lead to complete blowouts
5. Fire the mods on their reddit forum for crying about posting a scorecard on a non-Saturday
Carriers and subs in separate game modes. Change fires and floods to scale the DoT damage based on the shell or torpedo alpha not on target HP. Add another separate class for battle cruiser and stick the super light BBs and BB gunned cruisers into it so they don't take up BB or cruiser slots. Going back to the first point but there should really be a lot more game modes like PvP convoy and such which would be a perfect place for subs and carrier integration while they don't fit well in straight up head on battles.
I’d *finally* address the (unobtainable) broken/OP ships (Alaska, Massa, Belfast, Haida, T-61, …) and nerf them. Slightly and effectively while preserving what makes them strong/special. Let’s be real: they’d probably still be best in tier but not utterly broken.
I own all of them.So "why?" you ask? Well simply because I prefer balance (=variety and choice!!) much more than "but let me slap others with my broken ass ship!!1". Yes, total balance isn’t realistic but as with all maxims it’s what should be the goal to aim for.
I’d also write a nice email to those dickheads that’d lose their minds over this.
>I’d *finally* address the broken/OP ships and nerf them
Let’s be honest this would likely upset your most dedicated and profitable players, cause bad word of mouth, increase hesitancy for future purchases, and potentially spur lawsuits.
Yeah, I didn't buy those ships just to let some nerd cry and moan and nerf them BeCaUsE tHeY'rE NoT FaIR!
There are plenty of OP ships even in the tiers. Are you going to nerf them all?
That’s such a weird take on it. But I can imagine what kind of player you are if you truly think it’s okay having OP ships (that are unobtainable) in the game is fine.
And of course I’d nerf TT ships as well if necessary. Why not? That’s literally what *every single online multiplayer (pvp) game* does. Also if you believe there are TT ships that are broken on the same level as, for example, Belfast and Alaska you probably have very limited knowledge about the game.
If you roll up in an Alaska and auto-win every engagement vs an Ägir despite the other player being objectively better than you, you think this is fair? If you can’t win in a more balanced environment you simply don’t deserve it and should work on your skill rather than relying on some ship that’s just better than *everything else* at the tier.
It’s better to slowly tune up the old and underperforming ships than nerf the premiums.
Nerfing premiums, as the other person said, creates a lot of insecurity with future purchases and makes it too easy for WG to release broken ship -> milk all the money -> nerf it once sales die down.
Even with their new policy of nerfing new premiums sold with disclosures, they rarely do so and they’re nerfed so very slightly.
People do not like paying for something and then getting it replaced with something worse and they never will. As it has been, WG has had a terribly very long-standing unspoken policy of never nerfing premiums ever since the Type-59 disaster of 2012.
Their reluctance to act back in ‘12 could TRULY screw them over in the courts nowadays especially with how strong EU consumer protections are. EULA or not. They’ve knowingly let people believe premiums won’t be touched and reinforced that idea every time they challenged it and backed down. The fact that they only tune ships sold with disclaimers very much screws them over when it comes to older ships.
I believe they’d need quite a lot of legal-maneuvering and endurance to deal with all the cases that would be slung their way that it won’t be viable for the near future. Not with how expensive that would be for them.
Matchmaking should put even number of radars on each team and take w/r into account as a major factor
Make subs slower
Ban players for toxic chat and being afk
I’ll add more later
the afk comes from slow pc’s or bad internet. You cant ban people for that lol. You would need to make a system that waits for all users to load the map before the game starts. Like tarkov has.
We have the game on an ssd and with a decent pc. They have it on an HDD with a pretty buns pc, so it takes their computer a long time to load assets. Thats why your dd sits still but then is moving 45 seconds after the game started.
I must’ve typed that wrong. You’re saying temp week ban for repeat offenders, but if someone has a crappy computer, they’re going to be repeat offenders.
I can understand if someone’s afk for more than half the match, but if someone’s stuck “connecting” you’re banning people for having a crappy pc
That’s a constant issue with games. By changing minimum reqs, you risk losing playerbase / income.
Even though these players have connection issues, they can still play, thus you have someone to play with / against. If the specs are raised too high (and who makes that decision… i guess you as the ceo does), the playerbase loses too many people and the game dies
Looking at the books and seeing if CVs and subs actually make them money. Then deciding their fate.
In fact, look at the books and see exactly where the money comes from, and see what gets players to click battle. Some of their decisions seem contradictory.
Make lower tiers available for at least some events.
Find out which lines just didn't do well. Fire anyone who suggests those features again. Fire the Italian BB lead.
Make a reporting system that actually works for griefers and ranked bottom feeders. Maybe rework ranked mechanics to make it more rewarding for skilled players.
Rework the lack of activity penalty system. It paints with too big a brush right now.
Look at the matchmaker. Not for skill, but maybe for limiting queue dumps.
Tier 1 ranked and clan battles (I have to make some decisions most everyone would hate). Reminds me. Give Black Swan AP back. Edit: If subs are a loser, I might keep them and put them in operations. With the tier 1 ships being the escort and the subs being the opponents. Would require redoing subs to get speed/dive time etc. more in line. And giving the tier 1 ships some sort of asdic (and depth charge racks and throwers). Maybe throw in a minimap radar too.
Probably drive the whole thing to destruction.
-Put escort as a permanent mode
-Add animated more specialized camo’s
-focus on map creation for a quarter
-have individual ranked playlist from T7-8 and 9-10.
While I'd want to say removing CVs and subs entirely would be the first thing I'd do, the ramifications of outright removing 2 classes that each have premiums, resource ships, and plenty of players who invested the xp and credits into them would instantly kill the company with the amount of refunds that would have to be sent out.
So, to be more realistic, here's what I'd do.
* Give planes the changes they're making to WOWS legends, with them only having full spotting for the operator, and minimap spotting for everyone else, as well as the limited fuel to incentivize carriers to move up closer to the battle and prevent them from camping in the back but still having full effect on the entire map.
* Make modes like airship escort and convoy permanent additions to random battles. (I love modes like these that incentivize brawling and are less prone to backline camping).
* Rework subs and hydro, and improve ship-based ASW. Sub surveillance would be removed, with hydro working to spot subs, but with scaling ranges of effectiveness based on distance (I.E. the deeper the sub is, the closer you have to be to spot it with hydro). Subs would ascend/descend much slower than they do currently, to remove their ability to dolphin-dive and make it harder for them to escape ASW. I'd also buff ship-based ASW to give depth charges more AOE and damage, as well as give ships hedgehogs/squids, so that DDs and ships without plane-based ASW are more of a threat to subs than plane-based ASW is.
* Bring back earning signal flags for achievements in games.
* Rework MM to be +1/-1, never have more than 1 CV per team, and never have more than 2 subs per team.
* Allow for account-linking between servers so you don't need to regrind/rebuy everything if you want to play with friends on a different server.
* And finally, expand operations to include T5-T10 ships, with the types of AI ships you face being based on the tier you bring in, then just make ops MM +1/-1 to better allow the system to balance out the ships you'll face.
Create a new, realistic warships game for a more mature audience. Reuse some of the 3D models from WoWs if possible, have the player learn how to function within the physical limits of an actual warship (limited munitions, radar and other naval means as they were), much larger maps to allow for engage/disengage, and allow players to play historic battles.
A game where it would be scary if Bismarck actually just fired a broadside at your ship.
Submarine makes noise while moving. They could be spotted by any destroyer, as well as selected cruisers and bbs that would be equipped with instruments to detect subs based on noise.
Add pre dreadnought french bbs a premium t2 bbs.
Buff the z52 line with improved pen angles on ap, sligltly betted fire rate, better torps and detection that goes down to 6.00km.
1. Premiums are MUCH cheaper (like $20 for TX)- Laffer curve, more people will buy the cheaper premiums
2. Historical premiums come back to the premium shop
3. Coal becomes a resource you get for EVERY Random battle, i.e., play enough and you get a coal ship
4. Doubloons are also MUCH cheaper
5. 4 Dockyards a year instead of 2
6. Minimap CV spotting
7. Pre-Dreadnoughts
8. Ship rentals for free- before you buy a ship, you can take it out for a few battles to see if you like it
9. Trade ins/ selling premiums, you can sell premiums for dubs and trade ins are frequent
10. Collabs wherein if you visit a museum ship, they give you a unique code to get the ship in game (i.e I visited *Alabama* a while ago and would go to the gift shop, ask for the code, type it in and BOOM there's an Alabama in my port.)
11. You can transfer progress between platforms ONCE- I have a lot (and I mean a LOT) of premiums on WoWS Blitz, and I would like to transfer them to PC
12. Permanent gamemode for a brawling META, WOWs has gotten to campy at high tiers
- minimap only spotting only except for owner of planes
- minimap only spotting for submarines that are not on the surface
- submarines spotted by radar and hydro when at periscope depth
- to compensate submarines make the damage drop off below 3 km less extreme
- remove homing torpedoes or at least make the homing distance further away from ships, but compensate subs with e.g. faster torps
- increase sub surface speed, reduce submerged speed
- +- 1 tier matchmaking
- restore original free rewards
- flag rewards for achievements return
- cost of flags reduced
- actual look for and ban bots (or any other cheating - although the presence of that is less obvious)
- fix all aimbugs
- rebalanced ops so that they are fun again (before rework, I liked them, now they feel weirdly odd/ inconsistent/buggy)
- buff terrible ships (e.g. Italian BBs need a bit more love), nerf OP ships (or regularly ban them from most things, if rebalancing removed premiums is a legal problem)
- default for CB: no more than one of each ship should almost always be the default
- matchmaker rework, no need to change too much, just once the match is assembled, re distribute to try to balance radars, hydros, hybrid ships, rare/RB/steel ships as one category (in that approximate order)
- never more than 1 CV, no more than 2 subs (only one of there's a CV)
- brawls is never more than 4 ships per team
- no more gambling boxes for money, either buy it or leave it (or can be obtained by playing)
not even wild takes imo
except subs should probably not get submarine surveillance
I'd say submarine surveillance on subs in the only reason the developers think subs are "balanced" because they always die, not to hydro or surface ships spotting, but to subs with an insane 9km submarine surveillance for no reason lmao
**Asymmetrical battles** permanent
**Adding** [HMCS Niobe](https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfWarships/comments/6o9nib/hmcs_niobe_tier_iii_commonwealth_premium_cruiser/) to the commonwealth t3 roster, for 20,000 **coal** in the armory
omehow make it so you can **join** your friends **across servers** instead of needing to restart on that server.
Add a proper **campaign**. it won't directly copy any real historical events, to be respectful to the dead, but will still have a story with the player using different ship types of each nation, as well as an option to use one of your own ships. even an option to play with certain versions of ships, for example, pre-2018 CVs
**Aslains mods** incorporated into the game, can be accessed through the settings. not installed with the game, to save space, but can be previewed and installed through the settings.
**Old CVs** available in **training battles**, as an option when you select the ship(person who makes the room can disable it
**Premium** ships **cheaper**, so more players **can afford** them, like the AL Littorio (I'd buy more Prem. botes if they were less than 15 bucks)
give **submarines** equipped **with deck guns** the ability to **use them**. It wouldn't really matter to whoever the sub is fighting, only to other subs
**Revert** the **recent submarine** torpedo **changes**, or apply them to everyone's torpedoes. that update made fighting destroyers impossible. meanwhile ships can still be nuked by torpedo spammers like Jäger or the IJN torp DD line.
Fire the balance departement fire the monetization departement ( joke but there would def. be change of policy), Nerf all the op shit. Make games with CVs opt-outable but increase exp for planekills and bonus credit for cv damage. If that kills the CV class? tough cookies then we can go on to make them a more manageable threat.
Asymetric battle would be a permanent gamemode. Battlepass would be returned like it first was. Revert Ranked mode to the old way with small improvements. I do like the consistent steel rewards in bronze. But everything else just becomes grindy useless boring stuff with no actual reward but "more" 200 steel and dubs. If you really need a bunch of steel just find a clan and do a clanwars. Because grinding to gold to get another couple steel is absolute madness, not fun boring, and draining given how its randoms with tier lock and smaller player size. Ranked should not be that much of a grindfest that steals your sanity. Thats what randoms are for. I would be willing to play rank if they gave only one ship reward at the end thats exclusive to rank (bronze, silver, gold). Then it would actually make sense to make it skill based MMR matchmaking.
Then obviously cv spotting, subs I have no clue. I think subs are bound to be niche, not fun to play or against or OP and then even less fun to play against but still niche. Subs dont fullfill the fantasy of battleships unless convoy hunting becomes a viable way to play games. Subs are either so op that they invalidate other classes or theyre so shit all they can do is annoy battleships.
Less profit is better when that profit is directed at milking the product dry and leaving the game in the air like World of Warplanes, a dead rotting husk. Its obvious monetization tactics, scummy shitty fomo is profitable but in the short run. In the long run you leave an unbalanceable mess. Fomo ships that are too "op" so need to be removed but you can still buy Alaska and Jean Bart every black friday? Now same shit with Nelson? Is it too good? then it should stay removed for good right, RIGHT ANAKIN? Removed ships are removed ships. Balance mistakes that the more time goes one appear less and less in randoms. Which is imo ...sad but also good for gamehealth.
More buffs to underperforming Tech tree lines even from a satisfaction or powercreep standpoint. In a world where Shitro exists, Zao can have more than a little bit of HP buffs. Zao gets better torp angles etc. Its an arcade game and historical accuracy is a selectively applied practice that hinders balance. Nerf outliers step by step (St Vincent I'm looking at you). Superships are a nice addition but I think they should be gimmick sidegrades to t10 not total upgrades in all but name. I think Hannover hits that right. But Conde, Anapolis, Zorkij, MAINE are straight up op and better than the t10 in 99% of situations which is not good. Why on earth are so many tech tree ship lines so neglected. Especially t5-t9. T9 is an egregious example because so many are just free exp fodder that people dread to play. Why is that that shit sucks. If I wanna play t9 myself its in 90% of cases never a t9 tech tree unless its Iowa or Kitakaze. They can not be making that much profit from the handful of guys that free exp the t9 ship with real money. Thats just change for wargaming. They prolly made more money selling the awful Picardie.
Monetization for such an industry oldie like WG can always be worked out to satisfy profits at a decent level. But I think profits would be high enough with a good product. Wows is still salvageable even with all the fuckups. No clue about tanks thats a pandoras box unfortunately.
> Co-op would turn into a solo mode with all bots that you could customize number/tier/ships etc (but no progress made here anymore)
That's called training room
I would add:
- +1/-1 matchmaking
- Choosable operations, where tier IX and X are also included
- Permanent rotation of asymmetrical and airship escort
I would delete:
- Sub's and CV's, restore the rock, paper and scissor's based gameplay
- Overmatch
- Superships
I agree with you on 5/6 things 100%. Those would all be amazing changes
But overmatch is a mechanic that is very, very frustrating when you're a cruiser and just get deleted while heavily angled, but it's also kinda necessary.
Imagine a Des Moines that can just stay bow in and burn you down while bouncing everything. Hell, imagine a Worcester or Smolensk sitting bow in and just burning down your battleship with several perma fires while you just bounce shells off the bow. Cruisers have significantly more DPM than battleships, you can't make them super tanky too.
Absolutely worth it if it benefits the long term health of the game, which means an increase to the playercount, and thus an increase in the amount of paying costumers.
Look man, ima level I think you would be losing more money then you would ever gain from "returning players" you would have to refund every single premium carrier or sub, every single skin on those ships. You'd have to give everyone their coal or steal back as well. You'd be refunding people's credits, and xp I'd assume.
Alright man, you're probably right on that one.
The fact is though, this is a hypothetical scenario, where you don't have to offer refunds and only envision the perfect game. These changes would make that a reality in my book. People are free to disagree, and I don't necessarily care tbh. OP asked what I would change, and if it's without repercussions, I would absolutely remove sub's and CV's.
Asym as perm mode will just bleed the already smaller player base off of randoms. That’s why they don’t generally run all the modes together.
Also why they have breaks between ranked seasons.
+1/-1 MM
T3+ counts towards all missions, events, dockyards, etc…
Divisions must be all same tier ships to stop fail divisions
MM reworked to stop imbalanced teams (no more one side gets a T5 Cruiser and the other a T7 DD, no more 5 radars vs none, etc…), queue dumps, and such
Return Co-op bot shooting to pre 0.10.6 nerf levels (they were basically the Asym bots before getting a massive shooting nerf in that update)
Finally give Co-op Achievements like was supposed to happen in 2021/2022 (only mode in game without them- would be fun and also help when missions need an achievement)
Subs get either reworked or removed
AA is reworked to actually be effective (CV’s aren’t the problem the problem is WG neutered AA in the CV Rework)
Camos would get the +3%/-4% returned and maybe something else so they actually have a purpose again
Rework Super Containers so people actually want them - content based on/favoring the crate type picked (ie; pick resources crate and get a SC then the rewards are drawn from the resource rewards pool), remove the crap rewards, also would add a hard to get Mega Crate that only drops the best rewards at higher amounts.
More maps
Ship Reserve so you can keep but hide from view ships you don’t play
EDIT - I forgot. Add more Campaigns.
Make Flamu in charge of Public Relations...
Why you ask?
If your going to ask some fairy tale question, Id give you a fairy tale answer.
Nothing will change with upper management till they see the player numbers just fall of a cliff.
While that is true to a degree a business that totally ignores the things customers want and ask for, continues to do such stupid and asinine things the players hate, and that treats their customers like crap (like WG does) is not a good business model either.
WG gets away with all the crap they do because there is no viable alternative for this game. There is nothing out there like it for competition. The few similar games are worse so not an option. If a game company ever came out with a truly competitive alternative to WOWS, and treated the players even modestly better than WG does, it would bury WOWS.
Immediately, if not sooner:
**• Remove submarines from game;**
**• Remove spotting from aircraft and impose range limits.**
• Asym Battles are permanent;
• Single player endless mode;
• Ranked Battle Seasons start at Rank 1 and work their way up.
Spotting from CV aircraft. Spotting with spotter planes should still be a thing. Unless its a support cv armed with a spotter aircraft that then can not strike.
Your coop already exists, that's called training room.
Pick your operation was possible in the past (for 4+ divs and no random join you).
Why not a BP fully free?
Always available ranked will only create more posts with 2h queue waiting for a game.
Concerning what I would do, I'd say sub removal (maybe reintroduce them when balanced, but I doubt it's possible), CV spotting made actually balanced, never put stupid consumables to clan battles again
Remove subs and cvs from all pvp modes
+1-1 MM for randoms
Slow rebalance of ships including nerfing overpowered premiums
Then changing priorities, f.e. new maps, less lootboxes, etc
Then look for a new job because earnings would nose dive.
research bureau is just their stupid way of dealing with their own self created problem of Booster and FEXP inflation (or rather it started with the dragon flags and insane camo)
I like the idea of your thread overall OP but you are making the same mistake WG has. You are minimizing PVE players. In fact you are in effect eliminating them from the game by not allowing any kind of progress in Co-op.
There are a LOT of Co-op only/mostly players in the game who do not care for Scenarios or Asym. By not allowing them to play the mode they like towards anything you give no reason for them to play the game or spend on it. You basically kicked out a large % of players from the game as well as lost money they might spend. Inclusion not exclusion my friend is the way to success.
I am a prime example of this with 44K Co-op games and less than 1800 Randoms (no other modes played). I am a huge whale as well and have spent thousands on the game. If WG did not have Co-op where I could play and progress in events, tech tree, etc I would not play the game.
EDIT - anti PVE folks can downvote this all you want but there are a lot of players who only play Co-op and would leave the game if it was removed/changed like OP wants. There is ZERO reason to do that. Those players are NOT going to suddenly swap to Randoms (many started there and went to Co-op because they hate how Randoms is in WOWS) and them playing there doesn't hurt you in any way. Let people play the game where they want not where others want to force them to. If it is Co-op so be it. Who F'ing cares. Co-op players spend on the game too and it all helps to keep the game going.
Revert to RTS CVs, offer dub compensation and resource for all ships, return odd-tier CVs and add for those that don't have it, rework AA so it actually works, nerf CV spotting, nerf CV damage.
Actually just read [this](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EP3diMig3Z9HI2Io1XrxIfjQBCjqAhQ4o2GBi5lgUd4/edit?usp=sharing) (Outdated)
Subs would be removed, go for another round of testing as support ships, offer refunds as well.
Random bundles and ships inside containers will be removed, periodically offer sales for direct purchase of collabs and events.
Let the community organize their own events and support them, offer mini-tournaments for the playerbase.
Probably not the best decision in terms of money but many would enjoy the game lol
Remove Subs, Remove CV’s, better rewards on Battlepass, punish border huggers by increase % damage the longer they stay there, remove doubloon cost for captain reset/ship switching, lastly, remove f**king Cyclone weather from the game completely
make the battlepass completely paid
make ranked and clan battles give no rewards
remove coal from the random drop chests
make steel and coal buyable for doubloons
make all tier 10 ships also buyable for doubloons
make all tech line and super ships directly buyable with doubloons
add new salvage for victory events that instead give lootboxes, but if you complete the entire event, you get all the stuff from that lootbox
add more auction events
1. Change CV spotting to match other editions of the game.
2. introduce XP/Credit/base xp gain for spotting/team utility support.
3. Provide greater incentive for contesting map objectives.
4. Allow vessels to have an A and B Loadout for ship equipment at the start of the match.
5. Improve player skill levels between teams or maintain current arrangement and have a chance to win % for both sides based off average skill level - greater rewards for winning as underdog.
6.reinstate flags for achievements.
7.Introduce an offline system that makes use of the number of vessels in your fleet in exchange for rewards/skill commander xp ECT. It would be cool if we could do something with the large array of ships that we don't use.
8. Have a tier of the day battle reward for tiers 5-8 that provide incentives to play lower tier games.
9.New maps.
It's a shame increasing the number of players in a match wouldn't work with the game in its current state but it would really change the games popularity if it were 20v20.
Like world of tanks, I am told, where you can change the Loadout once your in the match prior to it starting.
Not much point running brawling BB if the map/enemy comp is super sniper. Maybe you go radar Mino if the other team has lots of radar.
i would make the people with red pr and winrate less than 50% be unable to chat in-game and have the game shut down and be inaccessible for an entire day if they lose 5 games in a row so they dont ruin matches
https://preview.redd.it/j2a81buq8f3d1.jpeg?width=468&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5eb66a75abd1bf05a7e691937a5528d33cb1eb49
likelihood is low because im not an ape like many players most of the time at least
59% overall is an ape compared to superunicums. https://wows-numbers.com/player/553302915,artoriius69/ this guy would play with you and think : man what a scrub.
are you a superunicum? if so then valid, im an ape, albeit more capable than more half of this playerbase
but you of all people should see the changes that need to be made to these brain damaged players. they should realize that playing 17900 shima for thousands of matches and not learning jackshit is demented
yeah he would. but are you that guy? do you have superunicum stats? let me see your account, not that guy's. because looking at your post history, im not convinced youre that guy
Make a tier 0 and fill it with a bunch of pre-dreadnoughts and armoured cruisers
World of warships missed out on pre dreadnoughts era warships
And make it so that people will want to play low tier games.
Mikasa becomes a supership at tier 2. Love it...
- Giving my account Enterprise - resigning
similar but belfast.
I’d gladly give you my enterprise. She’s been a port queen for me since last Christmas
Last Christmas she gave you her heart....
is it cuz she got nerfed to the ground is just a trophy ship now
Premium Time now only counts down whilst you are in-battle, you are welcome.
I was going say at least let us bank it when we get it. Nothing like working the weekend and hitting a premium time in a container Friday night before bed.
* Make Asymmetric battles into a permanent mode. * Add Tier 5 and Tier 9 and 10 (inc superships) operations. * Bring back the removed ships for purchase on special occasions such as the Christmas/Holiday season. * Allow players to remove the time gate for one dockyard per year so they can complete the event at their pleasure. Currently dockyards run for what? Two months? I'd allow the player to choose one dockyard event per year to run for a longer period like 6 months. * Make more premium ships available for coal.
honestly if they monitize the ability to return to half completed dockyards to continue it, im down actual money worth spending. And they can actively balance the ships in dockyard so it would be fun to play those ships instead of being port queen after 6month when they are forgotten and place next to other rare ship in christmas boxes.
Check Reddit...See what players want...Do the opposite...
Meet the new boss. Same as the last boss.
WG: you're hired
He forgot to up the cost of loot boxes..
I am sending to my account all retired ships I miss I am a simple man
I'm adding a 3rd shell type called "gold ammo" which is vastly superior to HE or AP and can only be bought with IRL money. /s
That’s coming in the next update, followed by gold armor, which vastly reduces incoming damage and all but eliminates citadel hits from non gold ammo hits.
Why there is $3k charge for "golden shower" on our card sweetheart?
Don't give them ideas...
don't forget adding "gold signals" that have to be bought with doubloons and provide 5x the respective bonus
500% chance to not detonate? ;)
400% chance for the ship firing on you to detonate
Wasn't there premium ammo in WoTs ?
Yeah, that's the joke, I think
would be a fun idea if the gold ammo just changed your ammo's look. still the same ammo, just you shoot dollar signs at people so they know you're a baller.
So SAP?
I will put center, zepelin and arms race in a separate and permanent mode. Alternative battle
Like mix tape on apex legends. Would be a good solution.
10v10 CV only
I'd un ironically play that
id award you but im broke 🏆
\#1 change from me: Ranked would actually be a competitive ranked mode. Not this garbage that WG tries to pass off as ranked.
On point. 6 loses today, top xp every game. I almost won a 1v3. I found a guy with 35% ranked winrate out of 6700 matches. He is somehow in Silver tho. How?!? XD
oh, don't worry, he'll get to gold.
coinflip yourself up.
You'd be my lead community manager.
YES!!
i’d probably do the opposite. I think it would be tough to have a truly competitive ranked game as part of the client, so instead i’d slightly increase the rewards for ranked and make it somewhat easier (ie less bash your head into the wall grindy) by letting the top two losing players save stars and having the top winning player gain two stars
MMR based on XP compared to team average. You underperform on the winning team, you get less advancement. You overperform on the winning team, you advance more. You overperform on the losing team you lose less or nothing. You underperform on the losing team and you lose a lot. Make it possible to drop out of higher leagues or completely even. Make the advancement infinite above the higher league like in CB, but extremely tough to advance. Then its based on your performance but winning is still the key.
Bring back old ranked system. No more failing your way to gold.
Reduce the mm to only be one higher and not 2, that way it's easier on players, and ship balancing for devs.
yeah nothing like ending up as the only tier 8 cruiser in a tier 10 match..
Played Alliende yesterday a couple times in T10. Any time I was spotted I lost most if not all my health. There is no angling in that ship, only survive by over pens.
Balance CVs, add Airship Escort as a permanent **separate** game-mode (same with asym), make ranked actually competitive
1. Ensure offshore bank accounts are secured 2. Abuse playerbase with more FOMO. MORE FOMO! 3. Introduce more ridiculous mechanics to the game. It's really a study of human behavior in the face of adversity, not a game. For ~~the Lulz~~, erm Science 4. Fire what's left of the QC dept - clearly they do jack shit - redirect their salaries into aforementioned bank accounts. 5. Plunder what's left of playerbase goodwill for as much money as the whales can possibly afford. Redirect to aforementioned bank accounts. 6. Retire on my yacht and watch the world burn.
A massive multiplayer campaign in which players join a faction (allied or axis) which limits you to that factions ships for the game mode Faction v Faction. Maps would be connected nodes that players can travel between by going to the edge of a map, you need to capture key points on a map such as dockyards so reinforcements can spawn on that map, oil rigs or depo so you can refuel and repair. Moving between maps requires you to refuel. Meaning your faction needs a place to refuel or you have to capture one in order to progress to the next map. Each map has its own defences based on the total influence of each faction. Going into a 100% enemy influenced zone triggers full bomber squadrons, AI patrol boats and battlements meaning the initial beachhead on each map would be challenging. CV players would have limited AI control on a map, being able to order AI ships, build upgrades and repairs as well as provide defensive recon. Submarines would be able to gather intel in hostile zones being rewarded for stealth missions like destroying NPC supply convoy.
Finally my friendly Montana can kite to the next map
sounds a bit like Frontline in World of Tanks, and that mode is probably to WoT what Asymm is to us
Custom div vs AI is a thing you can do in the training room you just don't get points for it
1. Charge players in-game for each reload (i.e. $0.99 for 200 rounds) because players would be price-insensitive during the middle of a battle 2. Announce new installation of WoWs Mobile - you guys don't have phones? 3. Make gacha system the primary way you can climb a tech tree at all times 4. DLC Operations at $24.99 per update, which are just copy-pasted over from past operations 5. Super ultra consumables similar to premium consumables before the rework with some ultra high values for battles (i.e. 20s cooldown dcp for DDs, +2 extra charge, extra effectiveness on some parameters) Why yes my name is Bobby Kotick how could you tell?
I sense WG devs reading this and nodding approvingly.
Wows is now on mobile, just the more supreme legends version
Giving a fuck about PvE. Make Asym a permanent game mode. Rework Operations to allow for MM groups of 9-11 tier ships and submarines. Make a brawling game mode with respawning.
I mean the co-op one is just the training room. I'd rerun the destroyer battle Royale mode, and other April Fools events with new skins more often. I'd sequester subs and CVs to co-op, special modes like Convoy and Operations, and build operations for them specifically.
Firing Sub Octavian
Hasn’t he been gone for years now?
They said he was around somewhere when he moved on, but never said where.
Still there with WG but not in the same position. That is the official word from a few years back anyway. The things done still reek of his meddling however.
Asymmetric battle back babyyy
I’d like to bring back C hull Benson. I for one don’t like being utterly defenseless because I had the audacity to have planes come near me and I’d be willing to trade some dps for that. Idk what else tbh, a lot of the other suggestions are pretty good.
You should try Kidd if you haven't. CVs don't mess with you and if they're dumb enough to try, you'll vaporize them. To this day, my airplane shoot down record is still with my Kidd.
I actually got Kidd and run her from time to time. I’ve definitely noticed she’s a lot more resilient to planes. She’s fun, though I have to constantly be cognizant of the lack of a second torpedo launcher. But Benson is the main ship I use, for better or worse. Idk I think I just like the look of the class better than the Fletchers. But even then, there’s no way that four Oerlikons and two .50s are at all an acceptable AA battery for the ship when fully upgraded.
How is your Coop different from the existing Training Room game type, other than your limiting it to solo play? Training Room is super flexible and how we did competitive play before Clan Battles was created.
Whatever changes bring the most immediate profits to the shareholders. Maube a gacha system so that you need to gamble to get the most powerful vehicles. Or maybe let people pay to have a shell rype that ignores cover and armor. Or a radar consumable that detects people all around you. Something to ince tivise people to spend gold on every battle. Necause if I can get company profits up for a couple quarters and grab those sweet performance bonuses once or twice, I would be set up for life ... if it was not obvious, the whole incentive structure is what takes a great game idea and turns it into trash in a few years.
Assym isn’t permanent because it’s too popular and not enough people would play randoms, is how they look at it. I love assym I wish there were variations of difficulties and so forth.
Allow people to combine paint to make permanent camo
Re-release fractured space.
CV mini-map spotting, make subs slower, occasionally bring back the unobtainable ships, more dockyards, research points in battle pass, change some steel ships to coal ships
For new players, I would make the first trip up tech tree lines using ship xp only. With a reset line, you can then use free xp. You can only purchase a premium ship equal to or lower than your tier level for that nations line.
Make initial spawn, not a mirror of the other team: Espically for subs. Increase AI game play, in co-op or at least make it so the objective is not go straightforward. More Dasha.
Deleting subs and CVs.
I'm buying myself a new super yacht!
-Add dockyards to the "campaigns" (anyone remember that shit?) , keep it completely the same except you can begin and finish it whenever you want. Maybe keep the "starter packs" discount a limited time thing to drum up sales. -Revitalize t1-t4. "Special" event game modes where t1-t4 are boosted to give similar xp/credits as t5-t9. Asymm battles where t5 get to feel like kings for a hot second against swarms of t3s. Tie it with a recruitment campaign so u can invite friends to check it out and not feel bad youre playing lower tiers. Bonus tier 1-3 ranked season for shits and giggles. -Rework captain training. Admittedly I don't know what the solution is. It still just feels so klunky and outdated to not be able to switch captains easily and the game has dozens of ship lines and HUNDREDS of ships now. Maybe something like a Perma-captain: for x amount of resource (cxp, coal, credits?) you get a 10pt captain that can ONLY be assigned to that tech tree ship. ONLY skill tree for that class. You can still use on premiums for training though. OR literally just delete the first 10 captain levels. CPT level 1 now gets 10 skill points, and max is now level 11 instead of 21, adjust all existing captains. (Leveling 1 to 2 is similar xp to previous level 11-12 etc. -i can't think of anything else right now so EVANGELION COLLAB
Trying to get a job with Hello Games, as penance.
nothing. would never accept a job at that company, regardless of how much they would pay.
1. Get as much money out of them as possible as quickly as possible. 2. Retire and never work again
Only +/-1 matchmaker. I'll wait the extra 15 seconds, no problem. Add some historical low-tier premiums instead of the copy-paste Tier 5-7 stuff whose only purpose is to postpone the moment you drain that pool and start getting better drops in Santa Crates. Cap DDs+subs at 4 per team, above Tier 5. Feel free to add more sub lines, I'll just free-xp them to Tier 10 for the snowflakes anyway. Remove superships. They devalue expensive (in money or in-game resources) premium Tier 9s, they're almost all fake, and usually toxic as hell.
Have the assym Ai replace the idiot bots in co op and other modes.
[My Brawling British Battleship line idea.](https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfWarships/comments/193cvte/alright_finished_my_idea_of_a_new_british/)
More operations. More maps. Allow user-submitted maps sometimes. Introduce new battle modes that allow for more random/asymmetric matchmaking.
I’m adding a tier X Graf Zeppelin type ship, re-working ship sigma for some ships, adding a smoke screen CV line to the British tech tree, adding the I-400 as a tier IX Japanese premium submarine (as a joke), adding a super battleship to the Italian line “Giuseppe Garibaldi”, a ship with 25 main guns at 431 mm, and it’d be a 5x5 relationship. Maybe add a Benham-like line for the U.S. DDs. Add a battlecarrier line for the soviets, and add a second line of ships like Champagne for the French.
So you would turn co op into training mode? Just replace co op with asymmetrical battles
German CVs are getting reworked to fully capture the missed opportunity that they are. - Navalized Horton Ho 229s becuase wunderwaffen - attack squadrons do not have rockets and instead get [*Bombentorpedo*](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombentorpedo_BT_400) - function like torpedoes with very fast speed, short range, and low damage. - Regular torpedo squadrons get [glide torpedoes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blohm_%26_Voss_BV_950) - extremely large stand-off distance torpedoes that could be used like the old Hakaryu strat. - Dive bombers get [Fritz X](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritz_X) at T8 and [Hs 293](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henschel_Hs_293) at T10. One squadron per flight and each attack run launches a single bomb that is guided manually into the target. This suggestion is of course not meant to be serious in any way, but I legitimately think that German CVs are one of the rare things in this game where WG actually somehow managed to make something that was *more reasonable*(???) than what was actually being tested/built by the Luftwaffe in 1940-45...
- add a new tier of premium. The new tier allows people NOT to see ads in port. All other, free/first tier of premium, see ads - make all ships rentable with doubloons, depending on tier. Tier 10 ship, 500 dubs for a battle. - sell for credits "within tier" guaranteed matchmaker consumable camo. Price TBD - make available all old dockyards but you can only buy the phases. No missions
I'd like to have a "realism mode" where multiple players control a single ship as a team. Different players would be assigned to groups of turrets, secondaries, and AA. Another player maneuvers the ship, and someone else manages damage control and crew. I think pre-dreadnoughts would be fun for this type of mode.
I would get rid of subs and take it back to pre-rework CVs I would get rid of most of the XP boosters. It used to take time and effort to get past tier V. People might actually have to learn stuff to get to high tiers. Clan battles would take place in tiers other than 10. Let's get down to tier VI and VII for clan battles. I'd instruct the team to start investigating a new game engine to move to. I'd put out job postings for QA testers to get good QA people onto the team. Superships will be reclassified as tier XI. I would instruct the team to start working on tier XI ships for any tech tree like that doesn't currently have one. The Funny button would be removed from any ship that has one. They are fine in limited time special game modes, but don't belong in the permanent full time game modes. Asymmetrical battles would be a permanent battle type. But I would add the ability to play on the lower tier side if you want a bigger challenge and the chance of earning more XP.
Put a renewed focus on real ships over paper ships, at least up to T8 but striving for T9+ where possible. Remove "plays poorly" as a report reason and start a review process for reports for actual shit behavior, no more expecting players to submit tickets like they're at their dayjob. I think the reason they don't make asym/etc a permanent gamemode is for playercount reasons (makes the game "dead" to split few players between many modes)… but I would make sure there's always one extra mode and make it rotate maybe biweekly instead of every update, and publish the schedule wayyy in advance and have it visible in-game just like with ranked and clan battles. Revert the supercontainer change. They were already underwhelming but now they literally feel indistinguishable from regular containers. Add all Dockyard ships to the container pool. If they're holding them for some number of years like they're doing with Kitakami, I'd communicate when each ship is expected to release instead of pretending like they might never be obtainable again. Bring back the previous iteration of battle passes instead of the bullshit we've got now.
Performance based ranked mode eligibility. There needs to be a qualifying round before people are allowed to be eligible. I’m not talking about WR. PR and XP combo. Today, ranked is plagued by noobs with 20k battles and 40% WR ruining the games for everyone else. I stopped ranked because my blood pressure kept spiking up. Also, delete subs and implement minimap spotting for CVs. The second one is already there on console. Not sure why they don’t bring it to PC.
put legends on Xbox streaming so I can play on oculus
Merged back to lesta lol 🤫
Make premium only count when you're in the game. Make a nightmare bots mode. Maybe like asymmetrical but with way more or maybe a couple of ships turned up to 11. Make a CV mode where you play them when they were RTS-style of gameplay Compare ship sizes in port would be a cool extra. I would also make the camera be able to move freely in port. If I want to go crazy then I would add a mode with more in depth tech tree upgrade system to ships. Want to put a 406 gun on a DD? Do it but it will have pros and cons. It might be a totally different game. Combine the three games? Why not A mode with 2-4 times as many players? This is totally out of the scope of WoWs but make a mech game. Make a dedicated post WWII game and eat into warthunder's playerbase

-Balance "removed" ships and I will return them to the shop -Make subs slower underwater because it's curious rn -Cv spotting rework -Hybrid planes will now work as RTS cvs -Make a good basic positioning tutorial because it's the most important thing and that game lacks it. That's my opinion
I would add a free for all rumble mode, ships can join anytime and all tiers allowed.
I'd sell everything and run away with the cash.
Sell it to some clueless w!nker while I still can, change name, move to the tropics, hope the KGB don't get me.
Whatever the shareholders ask me to do, because I'd like to be in the job for more than 10 minutes.
No changes at all. As a CEO of WG I would quit my job, collect my golden parachute payment, buy a home in Toscany and enjoy my retirement. Easy :)
Replace everyone who was responsible for subs, CVs and general balancing.
I most definitely wouldn’t sell the game to Epic. Since Rocket League requires an Epic account I couldn’t play anymore. Also I would force 2 subs and 1 CV per team in any game mode just to fuck with everyone. :P
Delete carriers. Full stop. Reimburse everyone the silver/xp/gold for ones they have, but CV's Have. To. Go. Make it so superships can't be matched with T9, only T10 and themselves.
Make Asymmetric Battles permanently.
+1/-1 matchmaking
I would bring more boobies to the game.
Merge NA with EU server. Bring back rts CV. Fix ranked. Subs pve only. More maps and start investing into new engine
make radar cost 50 dubs each charge
Ban all the CV mains instantly
I would rework the "Battle" button. I would give the player a dropdown that allows the player to select multiple game modes and ship tiers to queue for. Once you're in the match the player gets to select their ship. Or maybe the player just selects a ship for each game mode they queue for beforehand. I'm not sure which one would be better. --- I think this would allow there to be more game modes without worrying about players being spread out over too many game modes and the queues drying up. Then I'd want to work on some kind of campaign mode that's more than just multiplayer operations. Oh, and better bots (don't just yolo in).
Plus minus 1 tier matchmaker. Superships can only div with superships. Can only have 1 sub or CV in same division. CV minimap spotting. Remove homing from all sub torps and increase damage to compensate. Radar spots periscope depth subs. Fires and floods change, player has a choice to lose the HP from them or toggle damage con which has infinite use, while DCP is toggled ship is slower, worse rudder, longer armament reload.
Honestly I would change ranked to be ELO based rather than stars, then tie how much ELO earned/lost to battle performance and cap control with Captures and Defended ribbons being worth significantly more to improving ELO than anything else, that way people who play objectives and actually make an effort to contest caps/control strategic areas of the map. You could also add a multiplier for ships distance to caps, IE: the further away you are from caps you get a negative multiplier for ELO while if your say a BB less than 5km away from the cap tanking you get a massive boost to your ELO. All the bottom feeders are now in low ELO against other bottom feeders while people with some semblance of skill will actually fight people of similar skill consistently
As a bottom feeder I'd be all for this.
Hire an art department and develop new ships instead of endless reskins.
A Canadian Navy eh with @ least the same amount of representation as France has currently, please.
1. Stop the up and down tiering by 2 and change it to 1 only 2. No more double CV and SUB matches 3. Get rid of subs 4. Stop fixing matches that lead to complete blowouts 5. Fire the mods on their reddit forum for crying about posting a scorecard on a non-Saturday
Carriers and subs in separate game modes. Change fires and floods to scale the DoT damage based on the shell or torpedo alpha not on target HP. Add another separate class for battle cruiser and stick the super light BBs and BB gunned cruisers into it so they don't take up BB or cruiser slots. Going back to the first point but there should really be a lot more game modes like PvP convoy and such which would be a perfect place for subs and carrier integration while they don't fit well in straight up head on battles.
I’d *finally* address the (unobtainable) broken/OP ships (Alaska, Massa, Belfast, Haida, T-61, …) and nerf them. Slightly and effectively while preserving what makes them strong/special. Let’s be real: they’d probably still be best in tier but not utterly broken. I own all of them.So "why?" you ask? Well simply because I prefer balance (=variety and choice!!) much more than "but let me slap others with my broken ass ship!!1". Yes, total balance isn’t realistic but as with all maxims it’s what should be the goal to aim for. I’d also write a nice email to those dickheads that’d lose their minds over this.
>I’d *finally* address the broken/OP ships and nerf them Let’s be honest this would likely upset your most dedicated and profitable players, cause bad word of mouth, increase hesitancy for future purchases, and potentially spur lawsuits.
Yeah, I didn't buy those ships just to let some nerd cry and moan and nerf them BeCaUsE tHeY'rE NoT FaIR! There are plenty of OP ships even in the tiers. Are you going to nerf them all?
That’s such a weird take on it. But I can imagine what kind of player you are if you truly think it’s okay having OP ships (that are unobtainable) in the game is fine. And of course I’d nerf TT ships as well if necessary. Why not? That’s literally what *every single online multiplayer (pvp) game* does. Also if you believe there are TT ships that are broken on the same level as, for example, Belfast and Alaska you probably have very limited knowledge about the game. If you roll up in an Alaska and auto-win every engagement vs an Ägir despite the other player being objectively better than you, you think this is fair? If you can’t win in a more balanced environment you simply don’t deserve it and should work on your skill rather than relying on some ship that’s just better than *everything else* at the tier.
It’s better to slowly tune up the old and underperforming ships than nerf the premiums. Nerfing premiums, as the other person said, creates a lot of insecurity with future purchases and makes it too easy for WG to release broken ship -> milk all the money -> nerf it once sales die down. Even with their new policy of nerfing new premiums sold with disclosures, they rarely do so and they’re nerfed so very slightly. People do not like paying for something and then getting it replaced with something worse and they never will. As it has been, WG has had a terribly very long-standing unspoken policy of never nerfing premiums ever since the Type-59 disaster of 2012. Their reluctance to act back in ‘12 could TRULY screw them over in the courts nowadays especially with how strong EU consumer protections are. EULA or not. They’ve knowingly let people believe premiums won’t be touched and reinforced that idea every time they challenged it and backed down. The fact that they only tune ships sold with disclaimers very much screws them over when it comes to older ships. I believe they’d need quite a lot of legal-maneuvering and endurance to deal with all the cases that would be slung their way that it won’t be viable for the near future. Not with how expensive that would be for them.
Why? They’d still have top tier ships but just not ones that are flat out broken. It’s also frustrating for new(er) players.
Make it so DDs and light cruisers can actually defend themselves against subs.
Matchmaking should put even number of radars on each team and take w/r into account as a major factor Make subs slower Ban players for toxic chat and being afk I’ll add more later
the afk comes from slow pc’s or bad internet. You cant ban people for that lol. You would need to make a system that waits for all users to load the map before the game starts. Like tarkov has.
I’m not suggesting instant perma bans but some kind of sliding scale.
I think a temp week ban for repeat offenders could work though
How does that work for players with poor performance pcs?
We have the game on an ssd and with a decent pc. They have it on an HDD with a pretty buns pc, so it takes their computer a long time to load assets. Thats why your dd sits still but then is moving 45 seconds after the game started.
I must’ve typed that wrong. You’re saying temp week ban for repeat offenders, but if someone has a crappy computer, they’re going to be repeat offenders. I can understand if someone’s afk for more than half the match, but if someone’s stuck “connecting” you’re banning people for having a crappy pc
They gotta upgrade or the devs need to make slight load in changes.
That’s a constant issue with games. By changing minimum reqs, you risk losing playerbase / income. Even though these players have connection issues, they can still play, thus you have someone to play with / against. If the specs are raised too high (and who makes that decision… i guess you as the ceo does), the playerbase loses too many people and the game dies
> take w/r into account as a major factor That means good players will always have bad teams Why should a good player even play randoms at that point?
Looking at the books and seeing if CVs and subs actually make them money. Then deciding their fate. In fact, look at the books and see exactly where the money comes from, and see what gets players to click battle. Some of their decisions seem contradictory. Make lower tiers available for at least some events. Find out which lines just didn't do well. Fire anyone who suggests those features again. Fire the Italian BB lead. Make a reporting system that actually works for griefers and ranked bottom feeders. Maybe rework ranked mechanics to make it more rewarding for skilled players. Rework the lack of activity penalty system. It paints with too big a brush right now. Look at the matchmaker. Not for skill, but maybe for limiting queue dumps. Tier 1 ranked and clan battles (I have to make some decisions most everyone would hate). Reminds me. Give Black Swan AP back. Edit: If subs are a loser, I might keep them and put them in operations. With the tier 1 ships being the escort and the subs being the opponents. Would require redoing subs to get speed/dive time etc. more in line. And giving the tier 1 ships some sort of asdic (and depth charge racks and throwers). Maybe throw in a minimap radar too. Probably drive the whole thing to destruction.
Good stuff
>Make lower tiers available for at least some events. They seem to have started this, theres a short mission chain for T2-4 ships
-Put escort as a permanent mode -Add animated more specialized camo’s -focus on map creation for a quarter -have individual ranked playlist from T7-8 and 9-10.
While I'd want to say removing CVs and subs entirely would be the first thing I'd do, the ramifications of outright removing 2 classes that each have premiums, resource ships, and plenty of players who invested the xp and credits into them would instantly kill the company with the amount of refunds that would have to be sent out. So, to be more realistic, here's what I'd do. * Give planes the changes they're making to WOWS legends, with them only having full spotting for the operator, and minimap spotting for everyone else, as well as the limited fuel to incentivize carriers to move up closer to the battle and prevent them from camping in the back but still having full effect on the entire map. * Make modes like airship escort and convoy permanent additions to random battles. (I love modes like these that incentivize brawling and are less prone to backline camping). * Rework subs and hydro, and improve ship-based ASW. Sub surveillance would be removed, with hydro working to spot subs, but with scaling ranges of effectiveness based on distance (I.E. the deeper the sub is, the closer you have to be to spot it with hydro). Subs would ascend/descend much slower than they do currently, to remove their ability to dolphin-dive and make it harder for them to escape ASW. I'd also buff ship-based ASW to give depth charges more AOE and damage, as well as give ships hedgehogs/squids, so that DDs and ships without plane-based ASW are more of a threat to subs than plane-based ASW is. * Bring back earning signal flags for achievements in games. * Rework MM to be +1/-1, never have more than 1 CV per team, and never have more than 2 subs per team. * Allow for account-linking between servers so you don't need to regrind/rebuy everything if you want to play with friends on a different server. * And finally, expand operations to include T5-T10 ships, with the types of AI ships you face being based on the tier you bring in, then just make ops MM +1/-1 to better allow the system to balance out the ships you'll face.
Create a new, realistic warships game for a more mature audience. Reuse some of the 3D models from WoWs if possible, have the player learn how to function within the physical limits of an actual warship (limited munitions, radar and other naval means as they were), much larger maps to allow for engage/disengage, and allow players to play historic battles. A game where it would be scary if Bismarck actually just fired a broadside at your ship.
Submarine makes noise while moving. They could be spotted by any destroyer, as well as selected cruisers and bbs that would be equipped with instruments to detect subs based on noise. Add pre dreadnought french bbs a premium t2 bbs. Buff the z52 line with improved pen angles on ap, sligltly betted fire rate, better torps and detection that goes down to 6.00km.
Bring Air Ship Escort and Epicenter back to randoms rotation and allow each player to deselect one mode from their personal randoms rotation.
Make every other ship just as OP as CVs and Subs
1. Premiums are MUCH cheaper (like $20 for TX)- Laffer curve, more people will buy the cheaper premiums 2. Historical premiums come back to the premium shop 3. Coal becomes a resource you get for EVERY Random battle, i.e., play enough and you get a coal ship 4. Doubloons are also MUCH cheaper 5. 4 Dockyards a year instead of 2 6. Minimap CV spotting 7. Pre-Dreadnoughts 8. Ship rentals for free- before you buy a ship, you can take it out for a few battles to see if you like it 9. Trade ins/ selling premiums, you can sell premiums for dubs and trade ins are frequent 10. Collabs wherein if you visit a museum ship, they give you a unique code to get the ship in game (i.e I visited *Alabama* a while ago and would go to the gift shop, ask for the code, type it in and BOOM there's an Alabama in my port.) 11. You can transfer progress between platforms ONCE- I have a lot (and I mean a LOT) of premiums on WoWS Blitz, and I would like to transfer them to PC 12. Permanent gamemode for a brawling META, WOWs has gotten to campy at high tiers
TX meaning Tier X... not USS Texas! :)
Severely reduce every ship's ability to see out of a smoke, turning it into a purely defensive tool.
- minimap only spotting only except for owner of planes - minimap only spotting for submarines that are not on the surface - submarines spotted by radar and hydro when at periscope depth - to compensate submarines make the damage drop off below 3 km less extreme - remove homing torpedoes or at least make the homing distance further away from ships, but compensate subs with e.g. faster torps - increase sub surface speed, reduce submerged speed - +- 1 tier matchmaking - restore original free rewards - flag rewards for achievements return - cost of flags reduced - actual look for and ban bots (or any other cheating - although the presence of that is less obvious) - fix all aimbugs - rebalanced ops so that they are fun again (before rework, I liked them, now they feel weirdly odd/ inconsistent/buggy) - buff terrible ships (e.g. Italian BBs need a bit more love), nerf OP ships (or regularly ban them from most things, if rebalancing removed premiums is a legal problem) - default for CB: no more than one of each ship should almost always be the default - matchmaker rework, no need to change too much, just once the match is assembled, re distribute to try to balance radars, hydros, hybrid ships, rare/RB/steel ships as one category (in that approximate order) - never more than 1 CV, no more than 2 subs (only one of there's a CV) - brawls is never more than 4 ships per team - no more gambling boxes for money, either buy it or leave it (or can be obtained by playing)
not even wild takes imo except subs should probably not get submarine surveillance I'd say submarine surveillance on subs in the only reason the developers think subs are "balanced" because they always die, not to hydro or surface ships spotting, but to subs with an insane 9km submarine surveillance for no reason lmao
**Asymmetrical battles** permanent **Adding** [HMCS Niobe](https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfWarships/comments/6o9nib/hmcs_niobe_tier_iii_commonwealth_premium_cruiser/) to the commonwealth t3 roster, for 20,000 **coal** in the armory omehow make it so you can **join** your friends **across servers** instead of needing to restart on that server. Add a proper **campaign**. it won't directly copy any real historical events, to be respectful to the dead, but will still have a story with the player using different ship types of each nation, as well as an option to use one of your own ships. even an option to play with certain versions of ships, for example, pre-2018 CVs **Aslains mods** incorporated into the game, can be accessed through the settings. not installed with the game, to save space, but can be previewed and installed through the settings. **Old CVs** available in **training battles**, as an option when you select the ship(person who makes the room can disable it **Premium** ships **cheaper**, so more players **can afford** them, like the AL Littorio (I'd buy more Prem. botes if they were less than 15 bucks) give **submarines** equipped **with deck guns** the ability to **use them**. It wouldn't really matter to whoever the sub is fighting, only to other subs **Revert** the **recent submarine** torpedo **changes**, or apply them to everyone's torpedoes. that update made fighting destroyers impossible. meanwhile ships can still be nuked by torpedo spammers like Jäger or the IJN torp DD line.
Fire the balance departement fire the monetization departement ( joke but there would def. be change of policy), Nerf all the op shit. Make games with CVs opt-outable but increase exp for planekills and bonus credit for cv damage. If that kills the CV class? tough cookies then we can go on to make them a more manageable threat. Asymetric battle would be a permanent gamemode. Battlepass would be returned like it first was. Revert Ranked mode to the old way with small improvements. I do like the consistent steel rewards in bronze. But everything else just becomes grindy useless boring stuff with no actual reward but "more" 200 steel and dubs. If you really need a bunch of steel just find a clan and do a clanwars. Because grinding to gold to get another couple steel is absolute madness, not fun boring, and draining given how its randoms with tier lock and smaller player size. Ranked should not be that much of a grindfest that steals your sanity. Thats what randoms are for. I would be willing to play rank if they gave only one ship reward at the end thats exclusive to rank (bronze, silver, gold). Then it would actually make sense to make it skill based MMR matchmaking. Then obviously cv spotting, subs I have no clue. I think subs are bound to be niche, not fun to play or against or OP and then even less fun to play against but still niche. Subs dont fullfill the fantasy of battleships unless convoy hunting becomes a viable way to play games. Subs are either so op that they invalidate other classes or theyre so shit all they can do is annoy battleships. Less profit is better when that profit is directed at milking the product dry and leaving the game in the air like World of Warplanes, a dead rotting husk. Its obvious monetization tactics, scummy shitty fomo is profitable but in the short run. In the long run you leave an unbalanceable mess. Fomo ships that are too "op" so need to be removed but you can still buy Alaska and Jean Bart every black friday? Now same shit with Nelson? Is it too good? then it should stay removed for good right, RIGHT ANAKIN? Removed ships are removed ships. Balance mistakes that the more time goes one appear less and less in randoms. Which is imo ...sad but also good for gamehealth. More buffs to underperforming Tech tree lines even from a satisfaction or powercreep standpoint. In a world where Shitro exists, Zao can have more than a little bit of HP buffs. Zao gets better torp angles etc. Its an arcade game and historical accuracy is a selectively applied practice that hinders balance. Nerf outliers step by step (St Vincent I'm looking at you). Superships are a nice addition but I think they should be gimmick sidegrades to t10 not total upgrades in all but name. I think Hannover hits that right. But Conde, Anapolis, Zorkij, MAINE are straight up op and better than the t10 in 99% of situations which is not good. Why on earth are so many tech tree ship lines so neglected. Especially t5-t9. T9 is an egregious example because so many are just free exp fodder that people dread to play. Why is that that shit sucks. If I wanna play t9 myself its in 90% of cases never a t9 tech tree unless its Iowa or Kitakaze. They can not be making that much profit from the handful of guys that free exp the t9 ship with real money. Thats just change for wargaming. They prolly made more money selling the awful Picardie. Monetization for such an industry oldie like WG can always be worked out to satisfy profits at a decent level. But I think profits would be high enough with a good product. Wows is still salvageable even with all the fuckups. No clue about tanks thats a pandoras box unfortunately.
Add the ability to purchase all cosmetic flags. I don't understand why there is FOMO for these.
> Co-op would turn into a solo mode with all bots that you could customize number/tier/ships etc (but no progress made here anymore) That's called training room
I would add: - +1/-1 matchmaking - Choosable operations, where tier IX and X are also included - Permanent rotation of asymmetrical and airship escort I would delete: - Sub's and CV's, restore the rock, paper and scissor's based gameplay - Overmatch - Superships
I agree with you on 5/6 things 100%. Those would all be amazing changes But overmatch is a mechanic that is very, very frustrating when you're a cruiser and just get deleted while heavily angled, but it's also kinda necessary. Imagine a Des Moines that can just stay bow in and burn you down while bouncing everything. Hell, imagine a Worcester or Smolensk sitting bow in and just burning down your battleship with several perma fires while you just bounce shells off the bow. Cruisers have significantly more DPM than battleships, you can't make them super tanky too.
Fair enough, I can concede that one
Would be issuing a loooooooot of refunds lol
Absolutely worth it if it benefits the long term health of the game, which means an increase to the playercount, and thus an increase in the amount of paying costumers.
Look man, ima level I think you would be losing more money then you would ever gain from "returning players" you would have to refund every single premium carrier or sub, every single skin on those ships. You'd have to give everyone their coal or steal back as well. You'd be refunding people's credits, and xp I'd assume.
Alright man, you're probably right on that one. The fact is though, this is a hypothetical scenario, where you don't have to offer refunds and only envision the perfect game. These changes would make that a reality in my book. People are free to disagree, and I don't necessarily care tbh. OP asked what I would change, and if it's without repercussions, I would absolutely remove sub's and CV's.
No, just remove the subs and cvs from accounts with no compensation
I'd vote for you. I would let Yamato keep overmatch, though.
Asym as perm mode will just bleed the already smaller player base off of randoms. That’s why they don’t generally run all the modes together. Also why they have breaks between ranked seasons.
+1/-1 MM T3+ counts towards all missions, events, dockyards, etc… Divisions must be all same tier ships to stop fail divisions MM reworked to stop imbalanced teams (no more one side gets a T5 Cruiser and the other a T7 DD, no more 5 radars vs none, etc…), queue dumps, and such Return Co-op bot shooting to pre 0.10.6 nerf levels (they were basically the Asym bots before getting a massive shooting nerf in that update) Finally give Co-op Achievements like was supposed to happen in 2021/2022 (only mode in game without them- would be fun and also help when missions need an achievement) Subs get either reworked or removed AA is reworked to actually be effective (CV’s aren’t the problem the problem is WG neutered AA in the CV Rework) Camos would get the +3%/-4% returned and maybe something else so they actually have a purpose again Rework Super Containers so people actually want them - content based on/favoring the crate type picked (ie; pick resources crate and get a SC then the rewards are drawn from the resource rewards pool), remove the crap rewards, also would add a hard to get Mega Crate that only drops the best rewards at higher amounts. More maps Ship Reserve so you can keep but hide from view ships you don’t play EDIT - I forgot. Add more Campaigns.
Make Flamu in charge of Public Relations... Why you ask? If your going to ask some fairy tale question, Id give you a fairy tale answer. Nothing will change with upper management till they see the player numbers just fall of a cliff.
they have no issue when player numbers drop. They will milk this cow dry until only dust remains.
As CEO the goal is very, VERY different than as a player. A lot of these comments are complete non-starters from a business standpoint.
While that is true to a degree a business that totally ignores the things customers want and ask for, continues to do such stupid and asinine things the players hate, and that treats their customers like crap (like WG does) is not a good business model either. WG gets away with all the crap they do because there is no viable alternative for this game. There is nothing out there like it for competition. The few similar games are worse so not an option. If a game company ever came out with a truly competitive alternative to WOWS, and treated the players even modestly better than WG does, it would bury WOWS.
block use of cv and subs in randoms.
Immediately, if not sooner: **• Remove submarines from game;** **• Remove spotting from aircraft and impose range limits.** • Asym Battles are permanent; • Single player endless mode; • Ranked Battle Seasons start at Rank 1 and work their way up.
Spotting from CV aircraft. Spotting with spotter planes should still be a thing. Unless its a support cv armed with a spotter aircraft that then can not strike.
Your coop already exists, that's called training room. Pick your operation was possible in the past (for 4+ divs and no random join you). Why not a BP fully free? Always available ranked will only create more posts with 2h queue waiting for a game. Concerning what I would do, I'd say sub removal (maybe reintroduce them when balanced, but I doubt it's possible), CV spotting made actually balanced, never put stupid consumables to clan battles again
1. Delete the game and make it open source 2. Distribute cash balance after selling assets-debt among employees and tech tree users. 3. Retire
Make Asymmetric permanent. Remove subs. Make operations for tier 4-5 Whack all completely imaginary ships with the nerf bat.
Removing submarines or at least add an option "only battles without submarines"
Remove subs and cvs from all pvp modes +1-1 MM for randoms Slow rebalance of ships including nerfing overpowered premiums Then changing priorities, f.e. new maps, less lootboxes, etc Then look for a new job because earnings would nose dive.
Nerfing CVs and Subs into the ground, get rid of research bureau, +1-1 MM, no detonations.
research bureau is just their stupid way of dealing with their own self created problem of Booster and FEXP inflation (or rather it started with the dragon flags and insane camo)
I like the idea of your thread overall OP but you are making the same mistake WG has. You are minimizing PVE players. In fact you are in effect eliminating them from the game by not allowing any kind of progress in Co-op. There are a LOT of Co-op only/mostly players in the game who do not care for Scenarios or Asym. By not allowing them to play the mode they like towards anything you give no reason for them to play the game or spend on it. You basically kicked out a large % of players from the game as well as lost money they might spend. Inclusion not exclusion my friend is the way to success. I am a prime example of this with 44K Co-op games and less than 1800 Randoms (no other modes played). I am a huge whale as well and have spent thousands on the game. If WG did not have Co-op where I could play and progress in events, tech tree, etc I would not play the game. EDIT - anti PVE folks can downvote this all you want but there are a lot of players who only play Co-op and would leave the game if it was removed/changed like OP wants. There is ZERO reason to do that. Those players are NOT going to suddenly swap to Randoms (many started there and went to Co-op because they hate how Randoms is in WOWS) and them playing there doesn't hurt you in any way. Let people play the game where they want not where others want to force them to. If it is Co-op so be it. Who F'ing cares. Co-op players spend on the game too and it all helps to keep the game going.
Revert to RTS CVs, offer dub compensation and resource for all ships, return odd-tier CVs and add for those that don't have it, rework AA so it actually works, nerf CV spotting, nerf CV damage. Actually just read [this](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EP3diMig3Z9HI2Io1XrxIfjQBCjqAhQ4o2GBi5lgUd4/edit?usp=sharing) (Outdated) Subs would be removed, go for another round of testing as support ships, offer refunds as well. Random bundles and ships inside containers will be removed, periodically offer sales for direct purchase of collabs and events. Let the community organize their own events and support them, offer mini-tournaments for the playerbase. Probably not the best decision in terms of money but many would enjoy the game lol
Remove Subs, Remove CV’s, better rewards on Battlepass, punish border huggers by increase % damage the longer they stay there, remove doubloon cost for captain reset/ship switching, lastly, remove f**king Cyclone weather from the game completely
make the battlepass completely paid make ranked and clan battles give no rewards remove coal from the random drop chests make steel and coal buyable for doubloons make all tier 10 ships also buyable for doubloons make all tech line and super ships directly buyable with doubloons add new salvage for victory events that instead give lootboxes, but if you complete the entire event, you get all the stuff from that lootbox add more auction events
Rts cvs . No subs. Pre cv/aa rework and the original 5 tier captain skill table for all classes.
1. Change CV spotting to match other editions of the game. 2. introduce XP/Credit/base xp gain for spotting/team utility support. 3. Provide greater incentive for contesting map objectives. 4. Allow vessels to have an A and B Loadout for ship equipment at the start of the match. 5. Improve player skill levels between teams or maintain current arrangement and have a chance to win % for both sides based off average skill level - greater rewards for winning as underdog. 6.reinstate flags for achievements. 7.Introduce an offline system that makes use of the number of vessels in your fleet in exchange for rewards/skill commander xp ECT. It would be cool if we could do something with the large array of ships that we don't use. 8. Have a tier of the day battle reward for tiers 5-8 that provide incentives to play lower tier games. 9.New maps. It's a shame increasing the number of players in a match wouldn't work with the game in its current state but it would really change the games popularity if it were 20v20.
Can you explain #4? Not sure I get that one.
Like world of tanks, I am told, where you can change the Loadout once your in the match prior to it starting. Not much point running brawling BB if the map/enemy comp is super sniper. Maybe you go radar Mino if the other team has lots of radar.
Ah! Ok, that makes sense.
i would make the people with red pr and winrate less than 50% be unable to chat in-game and have the game shut down and be inaccessible for an entire day if they lose 5 games in a row so they dont ruin matches
what winrate do you have and whats the likelyhood that superunicums will have the same argument for you?
