I’ve closed the poll. It looks like a little over two thirds of the players want to go back to the old system. It appears the person defending the new system the most was the one who suggested it in the first place.
Somewhat ironically, that poll also showed two thirds of the Russian forum players didn’t want it, but Gaijin decided to do it anyway. I don’t understand how a business can put forth changes that 2/3 of their customers are against, and still expect to do well, but I guess we’ll see in a couple of months what the player numbers look like.
My suspicion is it will draw some new players, who will quickly get bored and either move on to realistic or quit.
Personally, after 12 years in the game, and after playing naval since alpha testing, I’m done with the mode until they revert the changes. I dislike realistic naval greatly, so I won’t be one of the players moving to it.
I hope those that like the new changes enjoy them and continue to do so. For the people that don’t, I hope you can find enjoyment in another mode or game. Good luck.
Ain’t nobody attacking you, relax. You just shut the poll but in a week it may change numbers when people adjust to new system? And i just bring here an example of other poll on the same topic. Nothing personal. .
My final conclusion about the new Naval Arcade aiming system+changes to Naval AB:
EDIT: I clicked “revert to the old aiming system” on the poll at the top of this thread, fwiw. I was also FOR the changes at first, specifically the aiming. But after playing my various lineups and different BRs and classes, I am 100% against the changes.
Why did you close the poll after just 2 days?? All well and good saying 2/3 of people against, but Gaijin will also look at the number of people the voted to see if its a fair representation of the playerbase.
I only just found this thread and found the poll closed already!
Easy, dude. He just post another opinion poll about the new system. Stpom/Stmex is one of the numerous squards in naval, their vote absolutely representative.
Agree, Gaijin using the new system while they still keep some old setting from old system, like the radar lock system and search/lock system. it is totally a mess.
unfortunately GJ seems not to notice any of the about 10 threads on the naval changes. Until now not any comment was given from GJ. So even if the whole forum takes part on the poll its irrelevant to them.
I thought the number of votes was pretty high for a naval poll given the player base and the fact that this is the English forum. It had only gotten 3 new votes in 8 hours or so. It also matched the outcome of the other poll on the Russian forums.
You are still welcome to make your opinion known. However, given that 2/3 of the players voted against it before and after it happened, and many in the forums seem to not like it, I’m not going to hold my breath they change anything.
Polls don’t matter to GJ. I have been through this several times and several years ago. They will come back and say your poll is not representative, they’ve done there own polling, you’re in an echo chamber, give it a try, most Russian players like it, your evidence is not supported nor verifiable, etc. I have seen it all. As I said, I quit for two tears over this and I bought several premium vehicles including ones naval. Only after the player base collapses will they consider making a change or reverting. I personally hate big changes. Small incremental fixes are they way to go.
I think some bad reviews are the only thing that is going to change their minds. It worked last time on Steam, but we don’t have enough naval players to make them care.
Boycott naval AB… only way, then they will have to have more bots.
No idea how it is with computing power for each bot but when they will have 4/15 human players… maybe something will click.
Till then back to tanks.
And there is a big part of the problem. If 121 votes seems high then I can see why Gaijin doesnt care so much about Naval.
You wouldn’t create a game for 121 players and certainly wouldnt be inclined to put good money after bad in trying to develop it.
I’m not trying to have a dig at you but for Gaijin to take notice you would need 10x, maybe 100x the number of players complaining
I’m not even sure how many people actively play naval, a what the split between arcade and realistic is. Both modes have their fair share of bots to fill in the gaps
