[Starkaddd]

I continue to play because :

1) I love warships of this era (550 ships in my WoWs collection)
2) I play only operations and modes like asymetric battles

[ElvroomGames]

I play it because it’s fun and I like the game even if it is frustrating sometimes. A game can’t be perfect, so be happy for what is in the game. It has stunning graphics and game mechanics, you have hundreds of ships to choose from and progress.

[johnhooton]

My next birthday makes me 70, and for the past few years mainly played in the coop just for fun, what I have noticed now camos have changed to permanent and you can no longer sell them they crop up as a reward everywhere? and don't get me going on how much free xp is handed out, it would not be that bad if you could use it to purchase the odd ship as in the past, all designed to get the player to part with real money, I do my best to support the game with the odd purchase now and then, that said I did receive over 10 ships from the Santa containers but other than those aimbot bot subs I still enjoy playing.

[patrickbrun]

I play wows because I enjoy it. I have been a scale model builder for over 50 years. Here I have the opportunity to drive around the ships virtually. I'm not a good gamer, but I can live with that - the main thing is that I enjoy it.

[tardster]

i play because of coop, operations and asym, those are the only reasons to play the game. players actually play to win, they have fun, they talk to each other nicely. i refuse to play randoms because of all the try hard sweats thinking this game is only about stats. playing for stats ruins the game because player do not play to win when playing. they play so they can go in discord and brag about being "gud", then ridicule anyone whose stats are lower than theirs because "stats".

[tmarcus]

Because I am a grown ass man and I'll do what I want. Sometimes I play Everyday, sometimes I play once a week, sometimes I don't play but a few times a month. It depends on how I feel and how I'm playing. Once it's not fun I stop playing. I won't grind myself out the way I did on WoT.. funny thing is it's the same way I play any of my "grindy" games. War thunder, Enlisted, Elite Dangerous, all of them.

[FullMetalYankee]

I still play it because I love what the game is at it’s core, despite certain frustrations that I have with it.

[SapphirosCZ]

I play because asymmetric battles are on.

[billwalker]

As with all the Dockyards, I don't see the point in timegating it unless their goal is too catch people near the end short of the goal, forcing them to finish with doubloons. Submarine ping indicator is still way off target and very inaccurate.

[SecondDraft]

I'm autistic, special interest is ships. I love the ocean. It soothes me. It's extremely difficult to learn how to play against other players for me, so I tend to spare the players who actually know what they're doing and stay out of stuff like Ranked, Randoms and brawl and what have you. Stick to Coop and Ops... though, I just got G.K. and been having a blast in asymms. If I do find myself working up the courage to go into randoms (Which is extremely rare) I'll let people know I'm a coop main and that I'm willing to follow directions... but no one usually responds so I don't feel bad for my team if I don't do well (in that context). They had a chance to tell me where they wanted me and what they wanted me to do but didn't.

I'm a BB main, it's just so thrilling to land a cit and see that big damage! I've been very dedicated to this Dockyard, I absolutely adore the Wisconsin for her "Temper, temper" incident. I've bought two stages like I needed but aside from that I've been grinding the stages. Currently at 14!

[michaelmichael]

The dock yard is completly useless to 80% of the average players.... no average player will ever get a free ship like this....

[tonepilot]

WG needs to understand that a nerf is not a nerf if they compensate somewhere else to reduce or negate the impact of a nerf.

[BlackClaws]

The state that it is in? A mellow, relaxing game where I can take ships out and go pew pew for a couple hours before work or bed? That "state"?

Seriously, right now, Warships is all I play. Never understood the whole "They changed X and I hate it now!" mentality.

[imagineian]

The game hasn't lost it's charm on me, the only thing that consistently frustrates me are submarines and the matchmaking for tier 8 ships. Operations are usually fun, co op is easy, I'm decent at brawl, and sometimes I can manage to pull MVP on randoms. As a battleship main though, I feel defenseless against submarines. Despite them, the game is still fun!

[zelkuta]

New player perspective here, I could write a book but I'll spare the internet.


The game is fun while the new player bonuses are going. They really load you up as a new player, I was able to grind up to the colorado in about 2 weeks of playing 1-2 hours day and bit more on the weekends. Around when you get the the colorado things start to drag down though. I was able to grind an iowa class ship after about 2 months but by now my new player bonuses are all spent and gone.

Game is a predatory f2p drag at the high tiers and I don't think I'll be keeping this game installed for very long.

I do like your channel and style though. Found it while trying to find videos on how to play certain ships.

[metalWarriorCZ]

I came back after 3 years and the game is better and more fun.
There were always problems and there never be everyone fully satisfied

[marquescastro]

I play because:

1) to me its still a fun warship based arcade game that doesn't look stupid like most mobile warship games

2) in a less graceful reason, anime was a big one. As a watcher of Kantai Collection, I like getting my favorite irl modeled DDs, subs, cruisers and battleship based on the characters

3) Me and my friends play this game like how we play War Thunder. Dont focus on grinding, goof around, do silly things and make fun memories. Dont take the game seriously (probably why teams dont like us but oh well)

4) I just like warships, especially late war ships and U-boats

[mustclime]

dockyards require you to pay....fock the dockyard.

[dudeonyoutube]

All that aside, the fundamental problem is that the battles lack variety. Randoms, Ranked, and Brawls are simply routes 9 out of ten times. I am waiting for Task Force Admiral to drop.

[xezee]

I barely played over the weekend. Got sub 30k base xp in the Tsurugi event and ended up with 8k ish place in the leaderboard. That means there's like 10k somewhat active players in EU region. That's not a lot.
