Not quite what I thought would happen when I spent two days on all this, but...hey...you know us "2.0 newbs" that don't know anything about the old days going up hill in 3' of snow both ways with grocery bags for airplanes. I guess it's deserved

You did miss out on what I and a lot of the other surly pilots still here consider the "golden age" of the game, but I've found that I like the game's new direction. It has its issues, to be sure, but that's what patches and future content are for. At any rate, it's far better than the death rattles the game was going through in 1.9.* where we could only spike the game's pop in primetime to sub 1k online levels through forced play time windows and then the numbers would dwindle back to what was accepted as normalcy within a few weeks of event's end. The game's shakeup and change for 2.0 release was needed, but I felt that there was a bit of "Baby with the bathwater" going on for functionality that we lost in the transition.
Good hunting!

My apologies. Names were hard to remember in the early days prior to the population drop off, and after that I really only met people if they joined in on the clan wars the community tried to organize, or if they frequented my threads here on the forum. If you were in either of those groups and I don't remember you, that's my bad. As for grinding to tier X before 2.0 to have a valid take on the game? Nah, forget that. I ground to tier X three times loooooong before 2.0.
Every one of them was shelved until events came around that brought an influx of players and made them enjoyable.
Then there were the bots that I could mercilessly pull game on with my P1102, but that was about as fun as playing a single player game with only three levels and no difficulty selector.

Okay I'm sorry you're right. You are the king of suffering Mr. Elistist and I bow to your pain and dead perseverance.
ALL HAIL BUBBA_ZANETTI, KING OF BEING ALMOST PERSISTENT ENOUGH!
Seriously though, why is it such a measuring contest? No I wasn't here for those, but I was very much here for the pains of Alpha/Beta, and I was here for some of the struggles of pre-2.0 like the perpetually 'tomorrow' promise of gold. Hell, that was one of the only reasons I have any games pre-2.0.
Let it go. Let it goooooooo, don't hold it back anymore.

I was in neither, and my last line was a bit of a "Hey, crap happens right?" kinda thing. I could go into detail exactly what happened but it's a bit like a bad soap opera. And we all know how bad all soap operas are to begin with anyway.

Well to be fair you gave your review & that's fine & dandy but when you said it is a must buy it kinda makes you sound like another WG shill. You know the guys that WG got over here from other titles to hype the game & most are no longer here. Bubba just said WG was done getting his money & a couple of you took it personal & went after him like he insulted your family honor or something. Seems you are still sore & are continuing with attacking him even after he explained again that his beef isn't with you.

So far all of his comments have been quite negative towards "you all" whether that be the general or directly towards us.
At any rate, of course we sound like shills but if you've ever watched any of my Warplanes streams, I assure you I will give my most honest opinion. That's the problem we have though, as content creators, right? Either we're shills or we're unfairly bashing someone's favorite whatever. If we like it, must be getting paid for it somehow. If we dislike it, well we need to lose our jobs! (As if this is actually a job). My responses have solely been towards the comments that are nothing more than "Screw that, screw wargaming! Never again!" From multiple points, that's less than constructive. All we're trying to do is convey our opinions here. The best thing to do is watch as many videos as you can, and I assure you there's going to be far better playing that fall into the "pre-1.0 veteran" category for the die-hards.
Pissing on the game/company for the sake of pissing on them just because you can and there's a public forum for it does nobody any good whatsoever, all I was hoping for was either constructive criticism or to be helpful for anyone on the fence about this, and sadly the majority of this thread is neither.
To put it in better terms, allow me to direct that lot here:
well that was fun! got a little weird and tank forumy at the end.
Only part of this i am confused about is the Alpha/CBT/OBT numbers, you should probably contact support about the tag issue. i was one of the top 5 people in terms of games played by the end of Beta and i really dont remember you. Granted ive had 9 major head hits, so that is not rare either. You not having a tag is bothersome when you spout numbers like that.
I see you played ships, having been involved with both and going as far as ST with WOWS i can tell you the testing process for ships is much much more rewarding and constructive, while here is "do as we say".
In fact we had a saying "in WOWP plane drives you!"
See you guys in 3-4 months or if someone posts a link in our clan chat.

I would be genuinely amazed if anyone remembered anyone from beta. I don't even remember people I flew with a week ago, and like I said, I don't really care that I don't have the tags. I don't really need to prove how much I've played. I know what I did or didn't do, and nobody should be here saying "You 2.0 newbs this or that" you know?
I do play ships, that one I only got in on the tail of the beta so I didn't even get the Arkansas I also play tanks, which I never played the alpha/beta/OBT...I play a lot of things, these are the only games I play a lot, and I only play WoWP a lot because of the connection it has for me.
Enjoy your forumcation

Our ****ing match aside, cool screen grabs! I forgot about that second/third map. I'm happy every time I end up on that harbor one that they converted to a tier 1-3 2.0er. I don't even have mine from the beginning of the year thanks to my computer biting the big one on the last windows update. Thanks, Micro$oft.

At any rate, that's fair, and is all well and good. All I ask is that you treat "us 2.newbs" a little more kindly...maybe think of it as carrying the torch or the next generation and not "those people who just don't get it"?
I've gone back and reread what I typed Lambo, and other than this statement "But you suckers have at it. Let’s see how many of you are here in 6-12 months or two-four years.", I'm just not seeing where I treat you "2.newbs" badly...
But enough of the derail...go fly your gobling.

Ok,
seriously when the crap did we come down on you for liking 2.0?
Bubba made the point that as a veterans he would never spend money on this game again. If you had had hundreds of dollars of premiums that were from one day to the next worth half as much you might be pissed, but you didnt take the time to ask that did you ? You just start going rear end hurt right away, this is not the tanks or ships forum. You are judged on what you say, and then challenged on that. i challenged you on numbers that didn't make sense. You fixed your tag, problem solved. Where did i piss on you? a challenge on your argument is not going after you personally.
Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. Personally i hope you don't have to go through what i did with premiums, but this place has a habit of proving me right.
PS that is the fastest i ever seen a tag be changed by support... like amazing.
PSS: if this is a troll, well done sir. Well done indeed. if not...
