I will try to keep it as brief as possible. There are many bugs to be fixed (some waiting for years literally), many models to complete, perhaps new gameplays to be tried. There is a lot of room for improvement inside the game that we already have.
Do we need more vehicles instead of good, thorough quality check?
Infantry is an interesting idea but many aspects of the gameplay can be improved, if not fixed, do we really need it at this point?
Are the quality of life improvements too expensive for gaijin?
Ha ha. I thing the new vehicles are key to stay players palying…I don´t know. But great topic. There were some concerns about matchmaking too…I was awlays amused if new update come…It was like: „hey matchmaking suck, but hey we make new engine and gun sounds and we make map more beautifuil“ LOL. BUT in that regards I read news about new updates ingame and I thing Gaijin really put good piece of work to undo bugs. I ´m a master monaer, babies are crying less than me but this is something Gaijin do well in my opinion.
Thank you for your feedback. Yes, when they want to fix things, they do it well sure but the problem is that they release buggy updates all the time. These things need to be fixed in the dev servers. They release it and then there are a lot of bug reports that have been waiting for literally years. They don’t intend to fix things, they fix it just enough to keep the player base stay in the game. And they go on to make more buggy vehicles. It has become a cycle that brings nothing but bad energy to the game.
On top of the bugs, the gameplays need to be fixed. I play Air and i can only give example from there. The modern jets have incredibly small map, filled with 20-30 planes, carrying all in all literally hundreds of fox3 missiles that can travel 20-40kms. You go to battle, spam missles, die and repeat.
The game is heavily based on getting a new vehicle instead of enjoying the game. That is the reason why so many players are frustrated because Gaijin is not giving them anything meaningful to do other than getting new vehicles. That also has become a bad cycle.
The energy of the player base is bad because of this. You can see the simulator community has a better energy because in a match you can actually use the game mechanics and enjoy the game. But as soon as 10-15 players appear and it becomes a fox3 spamming fest, the chat becomes toxic.
AnD i believe there are many other prblems such these.
This is supposed ot be a GAME. We are supposed to be enjoying our time. Instead, people are frustrated. Most people already have struggles in their personal lives. This should be a place to get away from all that, not a place to add all this.
But all these aside, the game does not need new vehicles, it needs new gameplays, quality of life improvements and such.
Gaijin is just paralyzed and afraid to change anything. They found something that works and people are not quiting the game so why change anything and possibly lose players?
Also I would like to note that this year had very little new content (inb4 someone comes to tell me how they are “actually unique” because of the camo or smth) and basically nothing was done to improve maps, gamemodes or fix bugs.
So to all the people saying “they will improve the game if they stop with new vehicles for a few updates”: No, they won’t.
it is a good point that they might not improve anything even if they dont make new vehicles. But how can we make them hear us?
And new gameplays always make a lot of people excited. They are fresh breath of air usually. Surely, there would always be players who are threatening to leave but a correctly implemented, beta tested gameplays are not something to be afraid of. Most of the games do that without fearing people leaving.
Ehhh, I play almost exclusively GF so I cant´ tell about planes. But you looked more for that bugs than me sou you could tell better. Generally speaking I agree with you that Gaijin should make more efforts to make game characteristic and mechanism better instead off tossing new vehicles. And hey, they redo engine and gun sounds so it sounds more realistic if you were killed like a goat at spawn yeah rigt? And the grass where you destroyed tank is is more reralistic, now your dead looks more sad, yeaaaay. BTW hey Gaijin I ´m one of that that send you fcking money, because I do quite well so I can toss 10 euros just for gamble stupid crates and then sold stupid camouflage that has no use for me for a community to have it just for fun! Look at me ! look at me! I can buy premium NOT for advantages but just for support game I like. If game angers me - fook you I don´t get you any stupid копейка.
Threaten to leak more documents (ACTUALLY NO LETS NOT DO THAT). The only things I can think of off the top of my head is to just get everyone as a group to strike on the game. Or we could just move on to Enlisted/stop giving the snail money.
Problem is, the way they schedulized the addition of updates means they can’t simply stop now or they would have the huge risk of losing a huge amount of players. More than half the playerbase is not as caring about the state of the game and simply cares only about new additions every so often. If Gaijin suddenly said there’ll be no new content for 3-6 months to focus on bugfixing, this big crowd could very easily grab pitchforks and torches or straight up just lose interest completely. I wish they could stop for a while to focus on bugfixing, but from their PoV, I can see why they also can’t.
