Hmmm info is harder and harder to come by actually.
- developers are (SS: apart from improving performance for weak computers) also working on improving the game performance on maximum graphics settings
- Windstorm causing really bad FPS drops? “Our tests do not confirm that”
- there will be an ASIA server for both WoWp and WoT Blitz
- WoT Blitz ASIA server should be available at global launch, the date for WoWp ASIA server is not clear yet
- according to Overlord, the game does need an actual tutorial
Overlord on WoT vs WoWp Interface: “It is considered that wot ui is not novice friendly. In wowp we attempted to create so called layered ui to cater for both newbies and veterans. Didnt exactly work out.”
Overlord on WoWp development: “More substantial changes to gameplay, including new modes, are in the works. It’s not something that is easily done. Prototyping right now, which doesn’t involve the entire team and doesn’t mean we should stop doing anything else, including putting out new planes.”
In wowp we attempted to create so called layered ui to cater for both newbies and veterans. Didnt exactly work out.”
And what exactly DID work out in WoWp? ;p
it’s a rether good test platform for upcoming changes to be performed for WoT :D
like for example SD / HD client
They actually got some planes in the game….
I play it and I think it is ine game (way better than WT). Just my opinion.
Yey that is Overlord responding to my questions!
I respectfully disagree with him though. WOT has a much better UI to WoWP.
I agree.
Any comments on German T8 mt?The pers.I cannot find more here.
He didn’t say it is better that wot, he said they have tried to make it more friendly for newcomers but it didn’t work out.
they took a good UI (W7) and turned it into a bad UI (Metro W8) – achievement unlocked :D
What’s wrong with W8….I like it and I’m using it :(
How is WoT interface not novice friendly enough?……Did those whiners have a look on the WT’s beforehand….
(I know shotfired and I might get execute by WT supporters but somebody has to do it
If WoWP’s UI can be exactly like WoT that’s great….however won’t save WoWP from WT Air forces because in WoWP having most HP FTW…..aka Heavy Fighters FTW…..I give up grinding the Japan line in WoWP due to using A5M can’t do well on ground attack, little 12.7mm can’t hurt Heavy fighters and facing same tier the low HP can dog fight well….
Do you remember your first days in WOT? You really understood everything right at the start?
I remember, when I first logged into WOT client, I was somehow confused and it took quite a lot of time to get all the info right and to understand what everything means and how can I do stuff faster.
Now, of course, when I am used to WOT interface, it seems logical and normal, but back in the day…. ooh, yea :)
I remember my first day playing WOT, and it took me 5 minutes, literally 5 minutes, to go trough all the menus, tech trees, depo and store to see where the things are at to see what they are for. That’s why I think that calling WOT UI not beginner friendly is crap. Especially when there’s a HUGE red button at the top that says Battle!
I join WoT in early 2013….WoT UI was quite settled so probably that’s why I like it….
p.s. typo in the last sentence in the first comment; it should be “can’t dog fight well” instead of “can dog fight well”
Awesome WoWP is coming to ASIA….maybe not that awesome :-P
But still, it means there’s hope that WoWS is coming to ASIA, which is what I’m waiting for :-) Can’t wait. Might play NA server of WoWS until they can get one on ASIA.
I participated in the CBT for WoWp and the netcode in that game was so horrible that I didn’t bother playing more than 5 games there. Hopefully, an Asian server (and lower ping) will improve my opinions on the game.
Trust me…it won’t….the lack of planes and game modes really affects the experience….
I like WTAF’s game modes but hate in Arcade, Wallet Warriors FTW
- according to Overlord, the game does need an actual tutorial
And it needs since the start of WoT – the current tutorial is fine, but shows only the very basics of the game, a MUCH longer and detailed tutorial is needed – wich shows how to use all types of tanks, with some missions (win x battle with LT,MT, etc) and at the end, players could get a premium tank – the LTP would be a nice choice.
They used to have sort of tutorial missions like ‘win a battle’ or ‘get a tier 3 tank’….which in hindsight was a terrible way of introducing new players to the game. But, it did net me a M3 Light premium russian tank….which I sold because I didn’t know how valuable premium tanks were :-P Me was noob then, very big noob.
yes it need selective turtorial for specific tier like lights needs to do passive and active spotting ect…
Can’t say I ever found WoWP’s interface not to be novice-friendly, even when I started playing it in Closed Beta. I prefer it 100 times to WarThunder’s interface.
Everything is better then WT’s interface
No fps drops on windstorm my ass… On every other map i get a steady 27-32 fps but for some reason unknown it drops to 6-8 there, allways. Weird thing is it only happens in open spaces, in city everything is ok.
I’d really like to see their test rigs. Probably 5 times the same computer, all on low details and in 640×480, like most of their customers allegedly use. Windstorm is easily the worst offender regarding FPS-drops and it’s a widely known issue. Typical “Not our fault, get a different computer”-bullshit.
WoWp Interface: “It is considered that wot ui is not novice friendly. In wowp we attempted to create so called layered ui to cater for both newbies and veterans. Didnt exactly work out.”
Wow really? the whole game didnt exactly worked out and it’s a wasteland.
“It is considered that wot ui is not novice friendly.”
Here is an idea: make a tutorial for it! In fact make tutorials for everything! Crazy I know.
“More substantial changes to gameplay, including new modes, are in the works”
Better be more than new modes. Flying planes isn’t fun in WoWP. That’s the biggest thing, make it fun or people won’t give a rats ass about the new modes.
” Overlord on WoT vs WoWp Interface: “It is considered that wot ui is not novice friendly. … ”
Whoa, really? I think WoT’s UI is one of the best UI I’ve ever seen. Well designed, simplistic, and that big battle button.
How about they focus on displaying all the tank characteristics in-game instead of having to use a third party program? Critical info such as gun depression/elevation, terrain resistance, aim dispersion and camouflage aren’t even displayed for fucks sake.
Just scrap the idea for WoWp Asia server,we are more interested in ships.They should first make a WoWs official forum for the Asia region (Which the Asia region dont even have it) and then prepare a server for the Asia region after its release.
