Hello Pilots,
Many of you have been with World of Warplanes since release or even before. You might remember WG folks like Hathore, Yoott, TzarIvan, and I from back in the day. Years later, I am very glad to be here discussing changes to the game rather than a closure announcement. This update is a testament to Wargaming’s commitment to our games and to you our players.
This recent update introduced many sweeping changes to the game with the goal of improving the gaming experience of the average person. We understand that some of these changes might be unpopular with players who have grown accustomed to World of Warplanes as it has been over the last few years but in an effort to increase the number of people enjoying World of Warplanes we are committed to this new direction. I understand how this might make you feel, but staying the course was no longer an option.
That being said, good things are coming. In the coming months, we will be implementing a variety of features, content and UI improvements including adding manual flaps, introducing a Deathmatch mode, and adding UI features such as an artificial horizon. We also have plans for special events and ranked battles which will be a great time for our competitive Aces. http://blog.worldofwarplanes.com/indev/world-warplanes-20-new-beginning/
This update also means an increased commitment from both the development and publishing arms of Wargaming to reinvigorate our game and our community. You will see more staff involvement, more promotions, more partnerships, more content, and more game updates. But most importantly, you should see new pilots to battle against. We genuinely appreciate the devotion and support you have shown to World of Warplanes and also to our community here. Our hope is that you will give the new game a chance and give room for new people who might like the changes.
Thank you,
Mugsy
doubtful that new pilots will stick around, as you just rebadged Warthunder.
Second, the only thing you need to do to make loyal customers happy is return the same broken game that was here in 1.9 with the improved graphics.
Put standard battles back in play, and call this new mode "Super bad arcade mode that no one but baddies enjoy, but please give us money badies because you suck so bad we appreciate it and don't want to piss off those whoa ctualy invested in this game and continue to give WG money."
Seriously though,
Add Standard battle back, with all the previous mechanics, with the improved graphics, but the old sound, and no auto aim. Everyone will be happy. Feel free to continue to develop this new game mode for new players; but, let those of us who don't enjoy it, enjoy the game we spent money on. Thanks.
