Hello, I jst want to ask, if there are any plans fot the game updates, you know I mean actually updates, not theese little trinket patchies with some image of pilot and bunch of crates. Seriously I need to ask you directly about this, I would been ashamed to have game in this kind of state for so long, how dare you ! 

I love this game as a working person, with a little bit syndrom of burnout for MMOs, this game fits the best, with some passion for planes and hate for gaijin... Anyway, there are so many things that can be fixed, working and atract new players, you are intentionaly decreasing population of server with your ultra passive attitude on every media that game can be on. There are some many people that played WT but dont like it anymore, but laughing on this game cuz its dead they say and stupidly easy, well its actualy pretty rewarding if you know what you are doing and timing beats faceroll, for me its OK with people, half team bots is nice since they are mostly more cooperative and helping than real players... There is some passionate community here, many of them are just cancer EF players to hunt win% as in every of your games, but ultimatly, I dont care I just love flying action and you can pull out outstanding games and enjoy gameplay as hell...

- List of alarming things -

- Map mods are ancient, atleast add more battle types from events as normal battles into randomizer... since some of those events are like 1x year... 

- Is is really a big problem to create new map with a ocean and some fleets with task forces of ships that you need to protect and other to destroy ? 

- that bug when you are flying and nothing arround, now some invisible bullet hits you and often crits you into some stuff like engine, pilot, even when starting combat, something hits you from nothing...

- Bigger maps for bomber and GA farmers, remove that STUPID BORDER AUTORETURNING lol 

- Bombers are OP for winning, mostly because you kill it finally and than it spawn fly directly opposite way and one shot anything, than you kill it and again, so make it spawn time bigger or make it something like limited use per battle or delay of bombs, this is just too much when in every events for points there is 3v3 EFs farming this braindead simulator of 4x click above base and game is won ehm.

- Rebalance of planes - There are simply planes that are OP to fly, planes that can manage and planes that nobody flyes, except players like me that want to test them directly... Things like FW252 with one of the strongest engines, that lacks everything, but excels in getting engine crited. You can manage in that thing, but only by luck that no one isnt hunting you with brain cells activated... 

- Revisite daily quests, from the view of players wich actually started playing the game hours ago is meeting some ugly bastard with specialized planes and best equip pilot etc terrifying experience, making them call you a cheater and quit the game forever, cuz they dont understand how its works properly, wich even means that there should be more usefull tutorial not just about plane types, but even planes types of plane types, For example - you got a fighter, so you think that you should maybe turnfight, not just boom and zoom or fight in higher altitude.... yep, now every spitfire or zero or KI or whatever kills you so OP automaticly, because you dont understand how you should engage theese planes and read from minimap what is coming at you

- What about something like when you capture a base, and there is locked time, than bot planes and stuff spawn just like that beams into battlefield like chaotic swarm ramming everything... that they would actualy fly from the team spawn point or spawn base whatever just to add some immersion... IMMERSION 

- what about doing some new tech trees, new plane types like dive bombers (real stukas, Japs, Dauntless avengers etc), attack bombers (A26, B25 ETC) ...

- I like that battles are fast, but there should be fast mods and long mods too

- I got plane with boost speed higher than actual dive speed.... shame 

- not mentioning graphics, and your super clouds that are giving me somewhat unnescesary fps drops...

- and your social media propagation, you dont even have youtube channel.... for obvious reasons.  

- well I think I need to stop, I hope but I dont believe that anything will happen, from view of WG this game isnt a goldmine, but as I watched on EU, in some 3 days of personal ratings there was actualy 10k ppls playing randomly through event... maybe realizing that it is still the same and stopped anyway.... so thats it, im kinda tired and dont even see and think properly, but its honest, not the full thing that I woul love to express here but atleast honest.... 

After all, I still really love to play this game...

 

The first answer that comes to mind is the official WG stance: WoWP is in a hiatus. The game is still being developed (at least officially), but with skeleton crew. Basically WG gave up on the title and is keeping it alive. This means any major updates are unlikely to happen. What can be expected (without any ETA whatsoever) are some 'new' planes that were in the files and on the drawing board for a long time, but not introduced yet - with the most likely candidate being t9 and t10 US bombers.

Problem with this 'suspended animation' (due to which the game has zombified, and is treated as such by most veterans that still play it) is that bugfixing goes very, very slow. Some bugs are impossible to iron out, due to obsolescence of the code and lack of personnel. Same goes for new maps - I don't think anyone is working on such a project. Add to this rather poor state of the servers (rumour has it we on EU server have been moved to one of WoT reserve cluster, which can hardly cope with bigger population on weekends or during special events), and you should get the picture. Yes, most of what you mention is doable and fixable - provided there is enough staff, enough budget, and enough will to do so, on WG's part. And that is the crux of the matter.

Oh well,

 

Because the game is stale and major issues still lurk around (stupid multi-role altitude performance cap, very unbalanced planes, minuscule maps on higher tiers), I uninstalled it.

I did not miss it at all, to be honest. Seems like I did everything I wanted to do in-here. I explored every tree I felt like and stopped when the plane was absurdly unfit to compete.

Then I went back to World of Tanks. Poor map design, very uneven teams, unforgiving mistakes and again very poor balance kind of demotivated me too. I feel like WG's skill is the best when it comes to promotion and getting into the addiction area of the brain, much less its pleasure and reward parts. At least in WoT you are able to identify a certain will to solve some issues, but then you gape at the solutions that are offered.

Wheeled vehicles, invisible E-25s, Soviet Incrediblium-isotope armor, tanks without weak spots... Sigh.

 

Flawed as both games are, at least in WoT I do not have the feeling of playing in a graveyard.

Thanks for replies, my sympathies to both of ya, feel +- same way.... sooooo THANK YOU WG for reply, you dont care a bit, you made me play other games and I hate you for it, because I love planes and I dont like gaijin.

I totally agree. The game is going down. I have asked for answers to that kind of questions, about where they are heading to, about what they do to promote team work and fair play, about rewarding defence, etc., because it's become almost impossible to enjoy battle, too many selfish players, only here for the kills, and with no idea of strategy.  It even appears that the game favours ramming, how disgraceful!

Instead, I get a chat ban for calling these selfish players idiots!! I always put the team first, but that doesn't seem to be rewarded, I'm sick of that.

I suggested a major revamp and some ideas, but it doesn't look like they care. Perhaps they've already given up on surviving.
