Recommending the game Survey

[ReducedSalt]

Often we get a survey from wargaming on  recommending the game to others to play out of 10 (10 being the highest)

I am currently at 2. Most of the time at 3/4.

I am very interested in what other people ratings are.

Please post below.

BTW I do not know anybody when I started the game still playing it , they have all quit!

I usually sit at 5.

If there's a particularly annoying thing happening then it's a 4.

But not because of what you would think, it's because it's a niche game.

So I'd only recommend it to a specific spectrum of players.

Ive been here since the dawn of time for this game.

People move from game to game so this is no biggy.  The Asia server saw a pretty big increase in players in April/May 20 due to Covid restrictions (This servers highest online numbers was April 20 with 29090 players online) and has held server numbers on average higher than any time post release.

Player averages

Asia 6456.

NA 7889.

CIS 12248.

EU 12799..

NA/EU fluctuated pretty constantly while the CIS declined slightly.  As Sapper said, this is a niche game so it attracts certain players.

I normally rate fairly high.

I don't understand people who, for fun, indulge in a given voluntary entertainment pursuit of their own volition and who then say it's bad so therefore no one else should also do that thing.

Constantly SMH at people who express these sentiments.

That said, I recommend because completely for free, you can get a good sense of whether this game is up your alley or not and make your own choice.

If you use a recruit a friend code you can get like two weeks (?) free premium?

I have introduced quite a few people to this game (espcecially lately since resintalling after I was so put off by a certain special murder operation somewhere) and mentored and played with them for some time.

The things that concern the veterans and the opinionated often do not affect new players as they joyfully learn a new game, oogle the pixel boats and enjoy sailing about blasting away with and at their ships of choice.

You know, as they just have fun.

Strange concept perhaps.

Playing a computer game for entertainment, rather than attempting to prove your esuperiority regarding an online game.

Follow up question are users with bot names eg 192832734 real.

On our Asia server do they replace say a non English characters names with a number instead?

Reason for asking is how many bots are on the server?

So far we have a 2 , 5 and a high? So is that an average of a 5 ?

"I don't understand people who, for fun, indulge in a given voluntary entertainment pursuit of their own volition and who then say it's bad so therefore no one else should also do that thing."

Alcoholism , Gambling , Candy Crush , Sex Addiction so many others.... 🙂 (A joke just in case you don't get it)

I enjoyed WOWS sometimes ,  a lot less from the beginning of the game but I rate it low for new players to start playing but if somebody new should start they should play for free and at lower tier for short periods.

Don't invest money in the game. That means you can quit easier in the future.

So if the question was  changed into.

"Would you recommend new players to play WowS just for free and only free" , my new answer would be 7 maybe 8.

From I person who self aware enough that they suffer "sunk-cost fallacy" concerning WOWS 🙂

tbh, those are players from china. if not mistaken...

[Grygus_Triss]

I generally rate low. Because they ask “how likely is it that you will recommend WoWS to a friend”. And the truth is, I don’t recommend games to friends at all, because I have very few friend to who I suggest games to.

[Thyaliad]

I generally rate it 4-5. Firstly, because this is a niche game and secondly, I don't recommend games to my friends anyway. Most of us are past the gaming age, so they tend to stick to more chill games and with less complicated mechanics.

[S0und_Theif]

Like what everybody pointed out, this is a niche game, so it's not for everyone.

 

The game has evolved and increased it's tech tree line. However, the ship XP requirement has not changed since 2015. Some newer tech tree lines have higher ship XP requirements. Making the game look grindy like FIFA or NBA.
Thus it is not new player friendly.
Most quit after 6 months of playing. After knowing how much time they will need to spend and / or how much money they have to spend in this game.

 

Operations. (I'm biased towards this one.)
In 2019 after the CV rework, WG said that they are not working on operations. They said that they are concentrating on Random battles.
In 2021, WG suddenly changed the narrative. From we are not working on operations, to operations are not popular. Stop asking.
In that same year around August and September, the LWM fiasco, the CC exodus, and the 2021 summer crate fiasco all happened in a span of 2 months. WG suddenly changed their narrative to "we will be working on operations".
Basically WG lied to everyone's face, only to make 180 when it hits their bottom line.

Same can be said for WG listening to players feedback. But we all know WG throws them in the trash can and only listens to their false god "the spreadsheits".
Just as when the players give their feedback on NTC (now called RB), the Dockyard 1.0, the excessive use of "surprise mechanics" and selling them at absorbent prices.

 

No guns beyond 460 mm, no selling of Tier 9 and 10 ships (for cash), no submarines. All 3 "promises" are now broken.
510 mm guns overmatch everything in the game. The game is just not built to accommodate those larger guns.
Selling of Tier 10 ships for players with less than 500 games is . New players who still have no idea about the game's basics and fundamentals, suddenly plays a Tier 9 / 10 games will basically be instantly killed, while also be a liability to his / her team mates.
WG's narrative of "not selling high tier ships" basically moved the goal post by introducing T11. Let's see how long this narrative lasts. I have already seen request for a T12 Hizen (12 - 510 mm guns).
Submarines in it's current iteration is crude and unpolished. Plus the current game mechanics, does not reward submarine properly.

 

Adding insults to injury, WG (especially Lesta CEO) loves insulting the WoWs community and the CC community, when the community is calling out WG for their wrong doings.

 

Finally bots. Remember, Sub_O said that "Dude, you can not just perma ban ppl. If you want to perma ban ppl, you better be prepared.". Prepared for what WG? Prepared to lose WG's bottom line? That's a WG problem, not player problem.
WG is aware about bots, but refuse to take concrete action against them since, WG sees them as whales first rather than violators.
Also, if you look at the game's EULA, WoWs does not ban bots. No such words exist in the EULA. The only words that exists is sanction.
They only sanction them for 7 days. After the 7 days sanction, it's BAU. Assuming WG is even able to catch them. Some bots are not even being sanctioned for months. Even years.

 

As for the score, let's just say it's bottom low in recent months.
It's even funnier that WG only asks players if how likely they will recommend the game, but does not asks why players give such score.
Survey could have been a simple yes or no, but the survey seems to be built on deceiving their bosses / upper management.
This can further deceive their bosses / upper management if presenters will only give the bosses / upper management the good narrative survey and throw away the bad narrative survey.
Then again, there are bosses / upper management that are incapable of accepting the bad narrative survey, and automatically throws them into the trash bin, while only keeps the good narrative survey. Just like the operations survey and the submarine survey.

If I pick under 5 the 10 minute survey becomes 1 question long...

Refer to my signature....which is YEARS old, much like the length of my "random surveys".

I wouldn't even recommend this game to someone I didn't like. I'm at the point now where I log in, play one battle, 2 or 3 at most on Asia, switch to NA and play a few, then uninstall for a week or more. My main issue is the regular imbalance in MM, stacking a majority unicum/good team vs a team of mainly not so goods. One sided battles are not rewarding or entertaining.

Very few English speaking players that were in this game early on are left. Some have re-rolled on the NA server because it's far, FAR less toxic in game but most have abandoned the game completely.

Sadly this is an inbuilt trait of the Russians. It's not just a political disease, as evidenced by commercial businesses as well, like in WGs instance.

Sure, all people lie, however nobody is as blatant and in your face about it as the Russians are. I can also attest to this personally as well. It's unfortunate, but it is what it is sadly.

^ 10000% agreement there. The sweet embrace of death is much preferable than to torture someone with it.

I proudly rate it the lowest I can until the day real improvements are made.

There is nothing wrong about being brutally honest in your face like Russians; except for the fact that when bad decisions are made people still continue to be masochists and pretend nothing is wrong (both players and devs).

My rating varies a lot, depending on my mood, depending on what we hear about the development, in game events, and how much the subs and the rocks have got on my nerves. It's way down from where it used to be, but it can now be anywhere between 2 and 6.
