One last time, I am posting this here to spread awareness- go to the community update and demand answers:
Just to add to this conversation, the recent community update in no way acknowledged our protests. I posted asking why, was ignored, and instead someone else asking about naval events got a reply. I’ve since replied at the moderator again requesting acknowledgement from gaijin, and others here should as well. Continue the discontent, continue to not play NAB, continue to reject this change.
My numbers have evidence - my own testimony.
I expressly said they are my experience, and you have no right to call me a liar.
If you had expressed your own experience as numbers I would have noted that mine was different.
But you purported to be talking about player population figures - figures that you do not actually have any evidence to support.
You owe me an apology - but I won’t see it because "b"ankers like you go to the ignore forever pile.
I didn’t use anything but your logic nor did I call you anything.
You sure acting guilty though.
Real Evidence:
The funny thing is, on the official StatShark Discord someone actually asked this question, because that person was wondering why Naval stats for March-April looks so poor, and one of the StatShark developers answered this:
These stats are updated during the first week of each month:
How often are Global Stats Updated?
Global stats are always updated in the first week of each month, the exact day varies from month to month.
This is how the updates works, again quote from one of the StatShark devs:
Basically, they named it “Feb-march”, because this data also includes a few days from March (and exclude a few days from February). But you can threat them as February stats.
The last update was on April 5 (March-April stats). Next week we should see April-May stats, these stats will be interesting.
According to StatShark, the number of games played on popular vessels dropped by 2-3 times. Yes, about 50-66% less battles on these vessels than in the previous month (with old Naval Arcade aiming system), that’s a huge difference. The question is whether the player base will decline even further in the coming months. I suspect we will have even less players playing Naval in April, but we will see very soon. Just wait for the April-May stats, which will be released in the first week of May.
We will check that when April-May stats appears, i suppose it gonna be on next week or even sooner. Could you wait that before making any conclusions.
I bet the numbers will be AMAZING
Don’t forget that last naval marathon event was in February before patch and next one will be in 2+ month.
I doubt half of us will be there for that.
As you can see tank stats have the same bias, are you gonna argue that tank battles have drastic playerbase drop?
Yes actually, been seeing as many if not more complaints in ground than navy so thanks for bringing that to attention!
The customers are not happy and want better.
Don’t trust in anything you hear, just always check it:
From February 27th (11:00 GMT) until March 17th (11:00 GMT), earn mission points in Naval Battles, unlock stages and receive rewards!
[Event] Get Strasbourg in the Raider Hunter Event! - News - War Thunder
The majority of this event actually took part in March, so it’s mostly included in March-April stats.
It still doesn’t make sense to say that players who played the last Naval event used e.g. LS 3 boat. That would be a terrible way to progress in the event ;).
But it is true that War Thunder is losing players globally. I can see this in my squadron as well. We always had 20k Squadron RP every 3 days, but nowadays we have problems with reaching required squadron activity. There are also significantly fewer new players wanting to join the squadron. You can also notice that the number of online players is far from record-breaking.
as the LS3 is not valid for the event - neither rank III or event-vehicle …
Im just saying that after event was a patch, and after event there is always playerbase drop can you measure what causing it more, the boycott of some players who don’t like the changes or just absents of activities, in other hand there was a patch which bring some attention to new vehicles so we will see numbers after SS publish them .
That’s why I said that April-May stats will be so interesting. These will be the first statistics with a full month following the change in Naval Arcade aiming. The “Hornet’s Sting” major update was released on March 18, so the March-April stats also include data from players that used the old Naval Arcade aiming system (from March 5 to March 18, which is actually 2 weeks).
I definitely saw a huge reduction in the number of players after the Naval Arcade aiming system was changed. Every battle I have played after the update had a lot of AI bots, which wasn’t the case before this change. But I am EU/CIS player, maybe in different regions and time zones it looked differently (maybe that’s why some players don’t see the difference, I don’t know).
I stopped playing Naval Arcade because of this change. I just don’t like the new aiming system in Naval Arcade, and I’m not a fan of Naval Realistic. The good thing is that I have at least started playing other games. Previously I only played War Thunder (Naval Arcade was my main game mode), and I just didn’t have time to play anything else. I also did not purchase the current Battle Pass in War Thunder. This will be the first BP I will miss since BPs were introduced to the game in 2020.
You saw that in this small amount of battles.
I saw other on this amount
and so on and so on, i basically played on all BRs and in all timezones
Your repeated attempted stat shaming only shames yourself, pretty sure it’s against the rules too.
I didn’t check the Russian forum for a long time. I did it today and I noticed on their forum there was a suggestion to bring back the old Naval Arcade aiming system.
Their forum works a bit differently, and it’s the players who vote for suggestions to be passed (or not) to developers.
The result of the vote:
As you can see, 71% of voters supported this suggestion and it was forwarded to the developers. Of course it doesn’t mean that the devs will surely revert this change. But at least it shows us how many Russian players prefer the old Naval Arcade aiming system. It’s not just the English community that is unhappy with this aiming system change.
You can check this topic directly on the Russian forum:
I don’t think I have to say who is the most frequent poster in that topic? It’s easy to figure out. And this person is doing the exact same thing as here, blaming players for not understanding the simplified aiming system, showing and criticising their stats, etc.
He must be getting paid by the post. Stat shaming is against the TOS, but it seems to be his go to tactic. On top of that, if he can’t argue against a point, he just arbitrarily declares it to be a “bug” or goes after the person personally. I’ve experience it first hand here.
Sure, now show me where? Besides that is not a “stat shaming”
And those bugs is fixed by my reports.
