On and Off. It used to be my main gamemode. Now I check in from time to time to see the state of things.
I think the poll would serve from some distinction. The questions we ask, and HOW we ask them, can make a big difference on the answers we get. So, a couple off the top of my head:
Have you ever played Naval?
a) Yes
b) No
c) I played, but I don’t play anymore.
"If you play Naval, what mode do you prefer?
a) Arcade
b)Realistic
"If you stopped playing Naval, what was the reason?
a) Too Repetitive
b) Gave it a shot, never really appealed to me.
c) Recent changes turned me off to it
Do you prefer faster paced combat in Naval, or slower paced combat?
a) fast
b) slow
c) a mix of both
Do you prefer Bluewater ships or Coastal
a) Blue
b) Coastal
c) a mix of both
What aspect of Naval Gameplay would interest you most?
a) More pondering armored behemoths with huge guns
b) More quick dodgy bois
c) A more complex aiming system
d) Fleet Operations with roles and tiered objectives.
…stuff like that.
As is, not sure if we’re getting answers from:
New Players who never tried the mode, Old players who are sick of how dumbed down and devoid of any skill or feelings of reward the experience has gotten.
I was rather disapointed in the lack of balance at top tier with the introduction of Soyuz that has put me off it in recent weeks, but I do still play, just not top tier.
Updated it btw, sorry as you said I dont necessarily have the excitement in me especially after playing it lol
Fyi this is just arcade as Im levelling rn(Have check RB when Im back to that)
Naval is a fun gamemode, i do play it from time to time though unfortunately there are no ships in game that i find interesting so there is less of a draw to play it for me.
To be fair where ever you play unless you play coastal Fleet I guess your still put with BB’s which Im against in arcade most of the time its nearly half the team yet Im in my renown and ealily kill them in my battlecruiser :p nearly at my Hood to cant wait
Available more often and not competing with ASB and/or GSB.
If I could control whether it’s arcade or realistic
If there were anti-snowball mechanics introduced because late-joining can be an exercise in futility because I’m rolling around with a tiny destroyer against impenetrable monstrosities
On this line of thought - more ways for people with a lower level of naval unlocked to use Naval EC as a viable means of PRIMARY progress. If all I got are the minimum 4.7 boats… I feel forced to leave the match even if there is NO snowballing because everyone upgrades to bigger boats & ships as the match evolves (maybe improving coastal bombardment? Idk. I feel useless and even my friendlies out-range me and get all the kills before I get in range of my own guns)
Yep, Rodney, Hood, QE-Class (havent spaded Warspite yet, but have spaded Barham, so close enough) and even Vanguard. Really fun… Unless you fight a Soyuz. Then you just need to hide from it.
I have been meaning to make a line-up somewhere between 6.0 and 7.0 though
I love them Its just god they need a damn new game mode because its honestly just stale every game mode the same except when we test for them on april fools, like come on give us the dunkirk event again now again and some of the other’s and yes Im aware you can do it in custom but its not the same, I want to be able to have fun and variety and not have to switch between making my own fun and then going back to grinding the same stale thing especially with how there chopping maps up(Ridding flank routes/high ground)
Yeah… I do agree. I love naval, but I can only play a few matches before getting bored. Though the same is true for Air and Ground. Gaijin really need to add some dynanism to all their gamemodes
Thing is they have even given us different modes before to try even in april fools then we never see them again lol… like why even bother, its like I mentioned earlier to someone because we were on about naval mines and I dont see why they even bothered with them when 1 as they stated 1 of the british ships can only carry 40 when I think they said it can carry 240 or something above and below deck and same with another think it was russian one irl that and the fact them only lasting 15 minutes… he tested it doing a harbor in EC and he lay down a line of 2 sets like 1 covering the other’s gaps and by time he finished it had been 15 minutes and 1 by 1 they started de-spawning :/ and that harbor wasnt even big tbh. I just feel like if there going to bother like that why even bother at all since believe gaijin said its due to engine limitation or something like that so not like its fixable just a waste of dev time if anything imo
I did give a little kick towards them trying to compete with Cod at this point though as a joke but honestly the way the game is going especially map wise Im starting to actually believe myself :/ and I kinda hate that considering I really wanted this game to succeed and be really damn good
The thing is when I say stuff like that I kinda want people disagree and give me reasons Im wrong about it, when they tend to agree with me though god It makes me feel crap knowing what I was thinking was right :p, Kinda why I did the vote for naval because it just feels bleh now tbh then when you go back look at the results its like ahh I see Im not the only one :((
Idk if you remember this one I did but even with 158 thats still kinda bad that 70% of people all agree :/
