This is interesting this morning by two different players who are tracking player population by aircraft play and player population. First thread is by Dr_Ar_MG for the last day of the month on how many  and how long players play on the EU WoWP server

For comparison here is the last EU WoWP public player statistics

 

Now add in Furious, a RU WoWP Beta Tester with statistics that he tracked by aircraft and play time.

Good evening, players and forum participants.

Extracted from the API all the information on the aircraft and combined in one Excel file with the ability to sort by levels, pre / not pre, aircraft class, well, and on the metrics of statistics. He left only the most interesting, in my opinion, points. Compared with the previous version of the file, the records on each plane and the rating of combat bending / records were added. Also added the ability to display the dynamics of changes in the performance of each aircraft. In January statistics, Albion's sky is not taken into account (all accounts that played during the event were thrown out).

Draw what you want from this. Some people have the time to do this, all the better for them. I thought I would let our community know there are WoWP players from other WG regions tracking this information on WoWP statistical information that is being hidden now to the WoWP public.

Good find, I'd like to dig into this deeper, just to see where NA is at. Thanks for sharing!

There's also this thread here, with #s from another EU player. But this here looks more comprehensive if one wants to look deeper into the [FILL IN THE BLANK].

Good read!

 

One of Persha’s glaring problems I think is the glacial response to features and fixes.  The great hype at the beginning has died to whispers in dark corners of forums, with what appears as half-hearted attempts to bolster the hype.  Difference from 1.0 to now is this general “streamers like it and stream the game”, some freebie rewards via third parties, and hopefully some continuing WG involvement via tragic and ted that won’t die on the vine like the previous attempts (wowp card game anyone?)

 

I had hoped they would have had a solid defined strategic plan to release 2.0 and follow it up with intensity.  I don’t think it’s completely WG’s fault, since Persha seems to be the one out of touch and unable to react swiftly and confidently.  They keep dropping working features and introducing game stopping bugs.  How could they not have learned anything from 1.5, or the broken MM that took 3 months or so to get us a customized MM for NA?  What happened to the working spectate view and free camera with zoom that took years to fix the bizarre graphical glitches that placed you 200 feet below horizon without textures?  You seriously have to rewrite that code, can’t just copy/paste?  Is it the game engine?

 

meh...had to vent my thoughts...carry on

Persha is literally understaffed. This is the only reason I have any simpathy for them at all.

That graph is misleading. But the source thread is worth the read. Curious how much of a bump to the right that was after they turned on the servers during the 2.0 update.

I find that hard to believe considering WG's resource pool & wealth mainly from WOT & WOWS. Or do the developers dislike the WOWP project so much they disbanded right after 2.0, leaving a select few who still have support for it? That seems rather shallow, considering the years they spent on this game. I thought they were all praising 2.0 by now...?

 

I also find it hilarious that even in EU they're experiencing crashing and server disconnects just like everybody else.

How else can you explain the fact that two things can't be worked on at the same time? UI and gamemodes are two different things yet the UI is being refused the chance to change while they're working on the gamemode.

[ArrowZ_]

That's easy. We've always known persha favours the eye candy touch ups over quality programming and development. If they really are making changes towards their development with 2.0, they're not exactly proving their point with these recent bug crashes. 

[SpiritFoxMY]

I wish they'd throw more resources at the game and up the speed of fixes. The lack of chat is annoying and the frequent stability issues are enough to make me sideline the game for days on end.

[Soylent_Red_Isnt_People]

No kidding - it's very hard to stay motivated and interested in trying to progress when quite regularly you can't play more than a match or two, if even that.

I played on and off this afternoon, but had the game running for a bit over four hours without issue; yet it is just as likely to crash first game or merely sitting in hangar, let alone start it's ''no FPS because 4Q'' shenanigans.

 

 

Plus, one less than endearing trait the game has had for the past few weeks is at times clicking any of the WASD keys to maneuver for some reason keeps kicking on sniper view no matter where I rebind that key.

Flying up high chasing bombers and it happens? No big deal - In the middle of a dogfight and it happens? Kind of a big deal.

 

I lawndart a plane or park it on a mountainside quite enough already, so I really didn't need additional help in that regard; Thanks but no thanks dearest Wargaming.

 

 

This is not how to keep existing players coming back, to say nothing of drawing more folks into playing.

I'm a new player, to this part of Wargaming anyways. Mainly played Warships, but a lot of the CC's over there had Warplanes content pop during 2.0 and it got me interested. I'm enjoying it. I've seen some of you guys in game already. I'm enjoying the game very much so and the free codes definitely helped. I even put about $25 further in because of that.
