There's some interesting discussion on RU forums (via NA):

 

http://forum.worldof...-thing-is-lost/

 

The gist is this:

 

-2.0 mode will completely replace the current one. That means there's no escaping the horrible new GUI and dumbed down flight model.

 

-Stats will be reset. Meaning, your current l33t statpadded winrate will soon mean absolutely nothing.

I also read we will lose all planes and have to start all over...
I guess I will not be upgrading untill 2.0 is live?

[Leirix]

I expected this, since they continued WoWPl 2.0 after the desastrous feedback after the 1st test. But i think they still havent realized, what consequences there plane and consumeable sells for real money has. Change the game to 2.0 and all planes and expensive camouflages are worth a crap. Refund premium planes, storage, silver in Euros and you have no problem, WG. Noone of your current customers can be forced to accept a turn to a Warthunder clone without compensation.

No, it doesn't seem the progress will be reset. We should be keeping our planes.

+1

 

I spent 3 000 hours to reach all higher tiers

WG must respect the clients (not only free players by here)

just add a new game mode if you want, or choose another name for this different game

this "clone mode" can't replace the actual game mode , or Wowp is finished and so am I, with all your products

That's not what I read in the shared link...
To be honest, what I've seen so far of 2.0 is waaaaaaay to much Warthunder. I hate the planes being so small even when you're near and what's with the leading indicators?
Anybody knows when 2.0 is due to arrive?

Gents, this information is not correct, let me just step in here.

 

• We will not reset your game progress, we believe you should keep what you already invested your time into.
• No stats will be lost after the update!
• Regarding the game mode we are still looking at ways of implementing the new mode and nothing is set in stone.

 

We believe that this upcoming major change has the chance of breathing new life into World of Warplanes and once more populate the skies with eager pilots! 

 

We will be sharing more information when we have it!

Thanks for the clarification - sometimes one feather becomes 5 hens.

 

The 3rd item on the list gives small rays of hope...

 

As mentioned by most old/new good/bad players on the CT-forum already: Please read the feedback, and understand that it's not necessarily the new gamemode itself that scares the living cr*p out of us, - it's the "reworked" UI and mechanics (in particular).

 

[omglaserspewpew]

Thanks for dropping by, MrConvay. Better to see some official statements than having to mine foreign forums.

Thanks for the info, as others said, we are not rejecting the "new", as far as it runs alongside, preserves and respect the "old" mode.

Exactly. f it's an ADDITION, soeone can find it interesting. If it SUBRACTS something to actual playstyle, then it is really bad. Why play a clone of War Thunder when you can play the original one? And, to add some advice: map is needed. In the current version, you really have no control over the situation. You don't know where you allies are, except for the few ones appearing on the short range radar.

Why did you get rid of the lead indicator? Even the competition has one (I hit the same, but it's better for newbies, very important thing if you want to attract new players). Ground targets to hit are not really clear, in bomber mode.

The whole concept of "capturing" is not clearly explained. A tutorial would have been gladly received. What the heck is the thing with "defense airplanes"? Also, AA is too powerful compared with the current release.

And: flight model SUCKS. This is really bad. Also, replacing the flaps and motor shut down with a single "air brake" key is too bad.

Have you or anybody in Paris played the 2.0 Testserver?

You really believe this extremo-arcade changes with zero flight feeling have more as the chance to disperse the last WoWp fans?

 

After Alpha, Beta, Release, all Updates and 10k matches i am speechless. Whats going on in Kiev?

[Leirix]

It seems like a joke, that WG wastes its time on a new game mode noone likes and noone would play even as a handy game! Work on your balance problems and on hit boxes, that pop up out of nowhere.

 

Incredible this ignorance and waste of human resources.

Maybe you interpreted 2.0 replacing wrongly.

 

I hope they implement primal wowp in new wowp?

I wonder how much of Conway's optimism is real and how much is company demand.....

[jakub_czyli_ja]

Unless he has other, real account, he doesn't have a clue what he is writing about.

This is the best WG news of the year, if true.
