Is war Thunder losing the touch with what it used to be?

Interesting. Did it always have that?

Well, thank you for correcting me anyway.

God only knows why I’m still seeing pillows every game then haha.

Snail decided to punish you by forcing you to see cringe, maybe you haven’t bought enough premiums recently.

No im pretty sure they didn’t a while back.

How odd. Yeah. I’m definitely just bugged then haha.

I did actually notice once, there was a guy in front of me covered in pillows, I checked my settings and sure enough they changed on their own again, I changed it back to except fictional as he was still in front of me, yet even after doing that I still seen the pillows.

I wonder if that just means the setting doesn’t update mid game, or if I’m just ultra bugged here lol.

Could try the nuclear option of reinstalling the game

Think I may have to try that. Something is clearly very wrong if I see this stuff constantly, and you don’t, with the same setting as me.

Cheers mate.

make sure you backup your settings

The game was never better,
The game was never that good even.
It’s always that…it has potential and that is the only game in the market of that type.
That’s the same with when it started.
Stale is the word.

Maps/Game modes/Gameplay… they don’t do crap, they just add the next crap to grind.
Yes of course they bring new mechanics in vehicles etc.
But they lack on the basics and gameplay anyway. That was always the case, not now…
Now we just have the stuff we dreamed of and we are realizing that the gameplay is THE SAME from the time we first played in 2013.

That’s wrong assumption.
The game is stale the last years, in numbers . And if by attracting more players , means players that they don’t stay it’s telling nothing to me…
About ^friends^ of history… yeah, that’s the thing with this game …you may start with no clue in history and as soon you see the vehicles , you start wonder , you start searching. Then because of the nature of these vehicles history ^kicks in^.
But no you don’t have to be ^into history^ in the first place…
In general the game is stale… not better , that’s why you see many people get disappointed .
Even the ^historical^ stuff… was there , it got cut off. No reason. You’d just have another extra event every week , that had some kind of historical matchup in a historical location.
Why cut it?
It’s not about history , it’s about having options.
And GJ in the gameplay variety/options department is something like NK hairstyle options…

WTF

Oh that, yeah that’s true. I normally see “happy new year”, a wizards hat, or maybe a motorcycle on a player’s tank. I think I might have seen the body pillow once in the past 6 months that I recall but it’s mostly the stupid eyes that people use. I thought there was a way to disable the decals or maybe I’m just dense?

Today, a new player will join the game, and in a couple of years, he’ll be saying the same thing. The game today will be the best choice for him, and he’ll love everything you’re criticizing now.
This story is as old as the world.

You’re just bored, you’re not getting the same enjoyment from the game anymore. It’s not the game’s fault; it’s just that you’ve lost interest.

So what?
And I’m not saying the game is great. When I said “the game’s getting better,” I was saying that I support gaijin’s strategy to target a broad audience, not only hardcore history buffs.

Sure because only steam works…
I’ll tell you this… Feb 2024 had 250K at the same time active users peak at some point, from every platform…That’s an estimate 500k-700K daily users.
From then it drops.
And before that date, as well it was like now… around 200K (peak hours) at the same time give or take.
In fact it has some time , some months that it drops steadily.
If you see a raise in people using the steam platform, however the playerbase declines …
It’s exactly what i told you.
It loses more people that it gains…

I showed the Steam statistics because they’re public.
The peak number of online players is not an indicator, as it depends on specific events, but the average number of players is holding steady.
For example, there are about 180k players online at the moment.

You dislike PVP games, which is fine.
PVE gameplay requires new AI to function well.

250k in 1 hour is closer to over 3 million daily users.
That 250k peak was also during an event. 160k peaks use to be event only in 2023.
The playerbase isn’t declining.

Though IF the playerbase leaves War Thunder, they typically leave multiplayer games as a whole and switch to calmer games.
