Every CC or person needs to handle this situation in their own way. I have told people to just go F2P and enjoy the game. Its still a fun game loop that I will and that also, might push Wargaming more to change than just, stop playing imo. Either way, well said Terry and you do you. Enough is enough for me. Bots, lack of bug fixes, lack of taking our feedback into new ships, bad events and upcoming items, the increase of prices was the straw that broke the camel's back. Doing it quietly is just a bad way of doing it. The lack of communication, once again, is just a double tap to the situation. Similar to the login bug that even I myself was effected by. This is a last ditch effort to me. As with how PC went post-LWM, nothing changed. I am hoping this might do something but I am about 70% sure, nothing will come from it. They won't address it and let it slide. Weather the storm and just let the rage die down. I wish you the best Terry and someday, I hope we can run into each other for a podcast for another game. Else I will see you out on the high seas. Keep up the great videos.
Thank you for sticking with us Terry! We appreciate your insights and knowledge as they have helped us to improve our game play without a doubt. Quick game question - GK legendary mod, is it worth it? 🍻
Appreciate the video and your approach going forward. I think everyone here wants the same thing. We would like to see the game continue to grow and add new things to the game but not at the expense of the customer’s in game experience. Unfortunately the company’s track record tells us that nothing will change going forward no matter what. I hope in this case I am wrong but I’m not hopeful.
Prices have increased x10 times in my region and I am not happy about it. But this is a very good summary of the whole issue and I find most of what you have said here very realistic. I don't think naive reactions will help us to analyze things more clearly. I see it as a professional decision of a company cause they have data which we don't have to make deep analysis, this can be a mistake but also a conscious choice. (free market) and of course the right to react and protest remains with each person or together. And I'm also reactive. But we need to look beyond the excited and hasty assessments. Yes, there are problems with the game, but I think it is useless to expect all of them to be solved at once and to combine the issues with each other. We need to set expectations in realistic terms. In this respect, I find your comments sensible.
I honestly haven't been paying for the pass for a very long time, since I don't feel I get the value out of it. Also, I already have too many ships as it is :)
I agree with you. Let's enjoy the game while we still can. Actually it would be nice if you do more videos on tactics and strategy. There are tons of (outdated) ship reviews/guides but very few map "reviews" and guides about what to do with different ship types on different maps. Showing some common strategies and counter measures. I know you have some and find them much more interesting and useful than ship reviews. Thanks for your content.
Yes, I'll be doing more of those again as well. Latest and greatest premium ship reviews is what people wanted to see mostly, but that's on hold for now 😉
Glad to still have you Terry. I appreciate your thoughtfulness and consideration. You have long been consistent on personal responsibility about gambling crates and pricing.
Here in Brazil, the increase in prices was considerable, but not as much as you'd expect (was already expensive). With the current prices, the basic Blitz pass cost almost as much as 4 months of RUclips Premium, for example. 3K gold now costs about a third of the Blitz Pass' price.
See that's something don't get. Here in AU, it's pricey, but about aligned with YT premium. Which is still too much, but for you, it's four times as much, which just doesn't make sense economically. I can only imagine that very little thought went into the regional pricing outside the big EU/US areas and their adjacent markets
@FunandGameswithTerry In other WG titles, which have a store in their website, the prices can be higher than in-game (which has Google Play/Steam taxes, for example). So yeah, it's very weird.
Happy new year. Two other things that changed: - the German price for the ' Elite Blitz Pass has risen from 24.99 € to 28.99 € - if you play an ad in the battle result screen to increase the benefits earned in the battle by 50 % it does not include Commander Skill Points anymore, which I find bad.
Damn well said and while i will miss the premium reviews, i like to know what I'm fighting, I totally support your decision and am very glad you stayed in the cc program.
WG has finally put the nail on the coffin, i mean good CCs such as boblyn who tried to talk positive abt the game in pretty bad times also gave WG several warnings indirectly but now that they have done it and when u see someone like boblyn resign, u realise its ggs for WG, they and they re game is kind of cooked now
I like your point of view. That's pragmatic. I did not buy anything for a while too, and as the winner of the last NA giveaway (papyotte) I even haven't spent the gold yet.
@@FunandGameswithTerryhi Terry. I think WG knows very well about the shrinking player base. Their price hike could be their last attempt to milk more money out of it before they have to abandon blitz. I previously saw many other games did this soon before they got abandoned. I’m leaving this comment not for WG or Blitz, but for you. Would you consider including other great games in your channel? Maybe similar to blitz? I personally don’t want your channel to be negatively affect by blitz. You are an epic game mentor and I would want your channel to be helpful to more people rather than get negatively affected by a sinking ship.
Thank you Terry for this balanced and thoughtful content. I highly appreciate your way of explaining things as they are. And I am more than happy that you stay active for blitz.
Well said, however I would like to see some reviews on premiums just because while I dont buy them i end up against them and like to see what they are capable of
WG used to sell bundles with great ships for a set price. It seems now they only use gambling crates which are a total bummer and rip off. Now with the price of gold, I’ll just stick to the ships I have or tech tree ships and no longer spend money.
Well said. WG has slowly drained the spirit out of wanting to play. Too bad; it's a great game otherwise. I guess Victor Kislyi's will to buy a bigger yacht is greater than satisfying his customer's gaming experience.
I feel lime you will not remember me but we talked a bit on your software quality video. Terry, sincerely, I love how you make your videos and I love how you are the guy who is here for the historical part, also, I became a much better player looking at your reviews, you was the first CC I started to watch and I'm happy to see that you are still here, but lets be honest here. As someone who worked with development you know that soon or later if you dont fix your software, it will probably be just to much fcked up to be usable. At this moment, mainly the ridiculous way bots work, are making new players think that the game is full of hackers. I can share here that one of my friends started playing the game to play with me and he left the game sending a whatsapp message to me saying "how can you play a game with that lot of hackers? Why they dont solve this?". In the real life you need to spend money to get money, even a regular worker needs to do this. If you work from 9am to 6pm you will need to use bus or train and you will pay for if, even if you are a home office worker you will need to pay for the energy you use, the point is that no matter how, you need to spend money to make money. All I see here is that wargaming, at least on WoW Blitz dont give a fck about its community. I will share here something about another wargaming game, world of tanks blitz, where even not playing it for 3 mounts, I logged in at 25th december and I got 10k gold, got a free premium, got free boxes, got also free camos for my tanks and got a lot of booster. I spent 2k and bought a tank, got a box that box gave me another box that gave me 4k gold (with other 6 items). Sometimes my ping playing WoTb goes to the moon because the merged server with a random russian guy lol but even with that, even that I'm not nearly passionated for tanks how I am for ships, I need to say that WoW Blitz is just terrible. They do almost nothing for the community, they dont hear us, they dont even care. They job is just to release copy/paste ships that are straight bettet version of its free counterpart and gives us shitty events. Raising the prices is just a step in direction of an abyss that will kill this game.
19:41 listen to that part ! That says it all to me … I definitely feel I am to invested emotionally for this game . I remember months ago when it was almost impossible to log in , than I figured out, that if I unloaded and re downloaded it would log in , all that took atleast 15 minutes , and I did that consistently until they fixed the bug . I spent entirely too much time in this game to not be happy with it . I’m sure there are other ship combat games out there . If I find a good one I’ll let everyone know !
Alternatives, at least on the mobile market, that I'm aware of: Warships Legends (console crossplay, WG title) is the best imo, followed by War Thunder Mobile. Modern Warships started out promising, but it's just P2W now imo. I can recommend giving Legends a try, it's a bit closer to PC mechanics-wise, but the jump from Blitz isn't as large as it may seem.
USA here. Not rich. I used to be able to support 3 accounts. I lost one when EG dumped Facebook. Tried to get it switched over. I never heard from WG about switching. I used to buy ships in bundles, outright, but not many of those offered anymore. I'm now down to one account. I buy the blitz pass every month, and maybe a little gold here and there. If I bought a ship on my main account, and I liked it, such as Odin, I would buy that ship on all three accounts. I used spend a good deal of money on thus game, not anymore. The resounding issues with bugs, the updates, log in issues, the loss of accounts, the freaking bots, etc, have caused me to severely limit the amount of money I spend. All of these issues hurt WG in the end. I've seen several spending players get fed up and quit. Thank you Terry, as I've watched your videos for years now. I'm glad you will continue.
I'm in a similar position (although I only have one account). I used to spend a lot (probably too much tbh) on the game, because I really enjoyed it, but now I just have too many ships to play :)
As always Terry, I appreciate your reviews, and all the helpful insights you have given over the years. I’ve been your subscriber for over four years, and on this game a little longer than that. I just cancelled my WOWS Blitz premium subscription, and will continue to play as FTP only. After cutting crate odds to ridiculous, and raising prices, I’ve had enough. They’ll miss me, I’ve spent a lot over the years. Thanks again! Binky
I haven't paid anything in years, but I did end up spending quite a bit early on, mostly for premium bundles (before there even was a blitz pass). I used to think that players like you and me aren't the target group for monetisation, since we basically have all we need, but the subscription model introduced a means to gain recurring revenue. But cranking prices up like that seems just counterintuitive, it's already been too expensive in a time of tight budgets, compared to what you get for it - it's not that that's free stuff. Let's enjoy the F2P while it lasts.
I play US server, and this is the first I’ve heard of this. Haven’t checked for price increases. Have played 6 years now and have dumped a load of money in the game. The Yukon ordeal brought my expenditures to $0, but ironically (taking into account a price increase) this last two months I have begun to splurge. Went premium again. Mostly I went after ship purchases with a vengeance, BUT only those that are active museum ships, or real historical ships, such as Salem & Kidd. I’m not ashamed to admit I go after those ships with a ‘whatever it takes’ mentality. Fantasy ships…Have had Atlantico since it came out. Played it 5 times for 5 victories & 5 MVP’s and my brains just went NO! I will not admit here what I do when forced to play against them. I do not begrudge Wargaming making money, but if the future of the game comes into question, why would I or anybody want to drop money into something that is going to disappear. Best crank the spigot back down to zero and wait to see if Wargaming commits to the long haul. Terry’s points in this video suggest to me they have significant attitude issues to address.
Today was the first time I've encountered torpedos go right though my ship and not registering as damage, also i have started to encounter lags like when I hit the enemy ships it takes few secs for the damage to register and show up on my screen, another deal breaker for me is that I have seen many times real players on the enemy teams and they're ships zig zagging back and forward faster than what the ship can move in normal conditions, btw I play on EU servers while in Asia and have been like that for 2 years now and I have never seen bugs or lags that much but just recently somewhere last month and it has just got worse after mew years.
You got that bug just now? I have this almost every day. Even with wifi connectiom being fine, I get 1~2 hits from a 8~9 torp salvo, I get just 3~4 hits from a 12 shell salvo even me being at 4~5km away being able to see 10~12 shells hitting. Not just that, sometimes the game starts to lag then I get to lead 2 times more my shells to be able to hit something because my ship seems to shot from where it was 1 second ago.
@@moonlightsparkle2690 Yeah I know it's weird, but I've heard about these lags and bugs before on RUclips and reddit throughout the years and it's kinda funny they just happen to occur right now for me lol
Its very sad to see such a wonderful game been abandoned this way. Personally, since im only 17 i´ve never bought anything with real money and i didn´t noticed any changes in the price (I always considered that it was too expensive) I love your channel and I hope you keep making videos about World of warships blitz. Greetings from Spain!
Glad you're enjoying the free-to-play aspects, keep it up 😁 Like I've said, the fact that you can play successfully without being forced to pay is one of the main reasons I've been sticking with this game for so long.
No. It wont unless you also protest the game. These CC’s are just outlets to get the Sheeps to Gamble their savings. If the sheeps still exist. The CC’s do no matter.
I'm in GG_EZ in NA. I was a bit shocked how many free gifts i received from fleet mates buying the battle pass. I would guess it was about half our fleet.
I am in Hong Kong, the price hike in gold is about few percentage points and Blitz pass is probably around 10%-15%. I am not sure how often WG increased prices. But inflation do exist in this world, their overhead probably increase every year as well. So it is hard to ask them to not adjust price ever. I did not buy blitz pass this month probably not due to price hike but I already own T61 and Blucher is not good enough to justify the price by itself.
Coming from World of Tanks Blitz, I notice everything is astronomically expensive in Warships Blitz. Battle Pass there is $12 (albeit no high tier tank reward) vs $28 here. I did grab that $2.99 gold bundle twice as a token reward for WG because I have played 500 hours of this game. Ultimately, that's how I look at spending money. If you get plenty of hours and joy from the game, then spending $20 on a camouflage is justified as a thank you to the developer. I've played WOTB for 6000 hours over the years and spent about $150. A movie is $20 for 2 hours entertainment. You do the math! 😂 Of course, I never spend money on gambling unless it involves a guarantee. The only such example was a Lucky 5 box for a tier 5 tank for $8. If I got something already owned, a Lucky 6 box would be the compensation, and so on. I ended up with a tier 7 tank. Every other purchase has been direct for a tank or gold, or a few battle passes when a tier 6 tank was part of the rewards (two were Terminator themed tanks).
I'm from Eastern Europe and honestly, the battle pass was a bit expensive for me even before the price increase and the bundles seemed disgustingly overpriced to me (I've been playing for 4 years and I haven't bought any bundles, or golds, just the battle pass at a discount). In those four years, only the turret bug has been fixed out of the mentioned bugs (thank God!). I ask: why do they want the increased prices when objectively they do very little for the game? It's greed. Elementary, Watson.
Happy New Year Terry from Canada, prices went up exponentially here. I appreciate your views and agree with your decisions. Unfortunately WG doesn’t care what we say they will continue to kill the game until it disappears. I’m of the opinion that their goal is to close blitz and only have legends and pc, that was the reason for the poll around 3 weeks ago.
The U.S on averge was already paying more than certain countries (from what I’ve heard), it seems like the price hike was the not same for everyone one, U.S. might not have happened yet we will see.
Great video terry. On the tech tree focus. How about a playlist, how to make tech tree tier 9s work, my recommendations to start French Saint-Louis & IJN Takahashi
On one hand I could quite possibly understand it with the inflation and worldwide economy issues, wich we allready got since at least 2022. And the ingame prices didn't increased in that time one single time. So, yeah, maybe, I got it But this sneaky-meaky-a$$ silent steahlth way, with wich they've done that is pure next level bllsht !!
I understand people are ticked off about the increase in gold, but you can always buy the basic blitz pass at a discount n the first week every month (and lately it comes with 30 days of Premium status). For the price, you get almost 3,000 gold, as well as two extra ships, historical camo, and a ton of silver, supplies, crates, etc.
Great video explaining the business mechanics behind a game. With games it's the same as with everything else in life, can you afford the price of items that is asked, are you prepared to spend what is asked and do you want to have it bad enough. For a lot, the game seems to have been worth to spend on. I spent myseld enough on games, but always set a maximum and never on things I could earn. The 1st game I quit spending on I still play as f2p, it's no issue not to do the paid passes, buy premiums,... you can live without them. I totally love your take on this, switch from reviewing everything new to just f2p only. I loved what you did in the Atlantico review though, tell the community how to counter it. I would love to see more 'you can counter this paid for ship with a TT ship like this' videos. Would it be an idea to enlist the CCs that left to help out to create the 'this is how to fight premiums' when they are getting overpowered? They have more then enough knowledge and private accounts that are big enough. After the server merge this should be possible, with some coordination. ;) Keep up the good work.
Everything is well said. I'm happy that here in Brazil the price for BP hasn't changed, together with the premium it's equivalent to about 5 dollars, same what was about last 6 months. So if i just playing and doesn't look at discord and here i wouldn't even notice what's happening. I'm glad you continue, as the first CC I started watching and learning how to improve my game. The other CCs have had other games and plans for some time anyway. I also play other games where there are ships, but WowsB is still the main game. I just hope they will improve the bots, the crates system, MM, sometimes lag and more respect for the community. In the meantime, I'm going to get tokens for the new Commonwealth cruiser and some titanium
It most certainly is pay 2 win when you can buy a ships like fletcher b which has twice the torp dpm of the tech tree fletcher, thats literally the definition of pay to win.
I haven't bought any ships last couple of months. Basicly since borodino from mine sweep made me more aware of the money grab. Haven't bought alot historical camos as well, i think the lack of creativity in historic camos is below par, mostly it's a slightly different colour now and that's it. For me the reason why I am shifting to legends is the game feels more complete and balanced. Better graphics and sounds. Controller support. CV is reworked and feels better. You can actually kill planes before they land bombs and torps. Bots are still stupid but feel more solid than blitz. Tempory camos can be crafted in permanent camos and be upgraded. Premium ships already have historical camos. Captains can be used on several ships at the same time. Also events are real events like the spaceships with actual space maps and ships. For me blitz feels they don't care to fix any bugs, glitches, reworks and balancing because I have a feeling the game will shutdown in a year or 2. And they tell people to move to legends where everything is implented and changed what blitz should have been done. Blitz is making a money grab before they are closing servers
Hi Terry, I understand that there is a lot of tension in the moment. I’d like to say, I respect your reservation and caution in the moment and am fully behind your stance. Nonetheless, I was looking to leave a comment to perhaps at least uphold some form of normalcy. When do you intend to review the Yukikaze? Additionally, I have had a group throw around ideas as to how to buff Castilla. Could I know your thoughts and suggestions on the subject? Thanks.
Yes, a bit of normalcy is good to have :) I'll start testing Yukikaze tonight, will try to get a video out over the weekend, if possible. Castilla needs base range & a dispersion buff. For T10, with a ship that huge and squishy, you need to get way too close to anything else to make her work.
Me personally i think this is a terrible bussiness decision. Not even going to mention all of the bugs we've been playing with for so long. Targetting the small percentage of whales that will purchase no matter the price instead of oppening the market by lowering prices to a broader spectrum is absolutely dumb. I truly hope the community grows conscience on the ammount of disrespect this decision shows,also on lack of other decisions like bug fixing. I truly truly hope we make this game crash and burn no matter how much i enjoy playing it, there are indeed other games.
These guys are idiots. As someone who worked with administration I can say that all they are doing is killing the game. New players are lefting because they dont know that bots are bots and think the game are full of hackers. Older players will not pay because the game is fucked by all these bugs. Some players will decide that it's the last drop of water and will left the game, then wargaming will just earn more by each buy but earn less overall. If they toke the other way, reducing prices by 20% to 40% (40% for the more fcked contries like mine Brazil), they would make people think more about buying because it's less expensive. The more acessible your product is, the more sells it will have. It's a digital game, the one who pays for something will not recieve like for example a 50 thousand tons battleship, will just recieve a digital copy of it. For me they are just dumb
Free to play is the way to go for me from now on. Minus two ships I really want. Marlborough and DZP. Those I would consider paying for. Im fortunate that at this point in the game I have a great number of premiums and legendary commanders.
DZP is too easy imo. I've got more premiums than I can reasonably play, collected over the years, so I'm not actually the target group for WG anymore 😅
Fkn prices are outlandish! Out of control and it costs alot of players too. Also, lack of quality with it, has gone down . And with the players left, we are stuck playing down a tier for days on end sometomes. I cant even brong up new folks in the fleet as it becomes discuraging for new players in the fleet that everytime they play with me on thier team, they too, are now down a tier. New ships are just modified repeats..old ships are not very well upgraded while new ones light fires at will, are much more accurate then your older ship. The bots can now spin and outrun 60 knt torpedoes. Its like the managment team in oblivious .
I'm more ambivalent but I stand in solidarity with the players even if it kills this game that I actually still enjoy. they won't come to their senses, and if the player base just kills the game I think that's justice in the end.
I haven't noticed any changes (i am in the US) but things like the Blitz Pass is still under $20 (old Blitz Passes had fewer rewards and cost $20). However I still don't like what they are doing. Some have theorized that this is the last era of Blitz before it gets shut down. Rovio has done this with a game I played as a kid, Angry Birds Go where they deleted your progress and rebuilt the game up with fewer levels and more grindy approach, not to mention the "improved" version had tons of bugs making the game hilarious to straight up unplayable, some were fixed but not all (Sounds Familiar, right?) and then Rovio cut the tournaments then silently shut down the servers and closed like 10 other games along with it. I think 2025 might be the last full year of Blitz if nothing gets fixed.
20% increase for the US. I believe. The rest of these creators make these absurd videos about premiums as if they are the end all be all. Despite them not showing it in the video, it obviously weighs heavy in their head. Which is still wrong because Terry doesn’t realize it but gaming addiction (gambling addiction) is real. Hence why you can go do research and see countless stories of parents emptying their kids college funds and such. Its an addiction. Dangling drugs infront of a dope user. No different. Maybe a little different. However these creators understand their purpose. Minus terry he seems not like the rest.
here in NA I haven't seen so many full matches in tier x. people are really trying to make it cost WG by playing more but paying less and focusing on f2p.
At this higher price range they should dispense off good t8 premium ships. Blitz pass of this month has been a disaster. Another point is that people who are investing in the game with blirz pass and premium account should be given better priority in crates of getting ships. Sometimes the freebies take up good ships but the premium account holders are neglected. I don't know how bullshit it is ! But wargamins on the verge of doom. Losing ccs losing premium account holders not very soon lose the business.
WG doesn’t care about the people who essentially beta tested this thing for 5+ years. Its a business, we all get it but this is a shame. If they warned the community and explained that they « needed » to do « some » price increase after fixing every problems (bots, login, MM, ship balancing, selling high tiers ship to new players, etc) maybe it would have been an easier pill to swallow… WG, in my opinion, see that new players are their cash cow, so they will keep producing more content oriented toward them, making this thing irrelevant.
Portugal +5% more or less. But bugs are ridiculous still. Should be something old players rewards, I don't know I play since year 1. I will not stop playing but sure less buying like u said : it's a free game still
More...I've played this game and in total I spended maximo 30 Euros. Tier X I have 7 boats premium, and 9 /11 lege captains. To get fun u don't need much after all u play with a few ships all the time
Play warthunder mobile in protest, Gaijin does bad, sometime but the economy and free stuff they give you is leagues and leagues better then blitz, this is coming from a tanks and ship player
As long as you don't _have_ to pay, I'm ok with it as well. Still, some people are very invested, and pay for premium time & ships, and for them a hike that can be massive like this is quite a middle finger
I'm playing in India and the blitz pass costs me 4 days worth of food which is 800 rupees. If i starve myself of anything for 4 days I get to play game with my pixel boats happily. Thankfully I'm not an idiot and saved the money only to get crushed by whales in the game. Good game.
Free to play but takes alot to unlock tiers. Gets very Boring how long the grinds are. Love the grind but it does get old after a bit. I Agree games can make money. But the Rate drops are terrible for the return with ur investment in money and time. The Bugs in this game and other issues really make u feel they dont care. I truly Belive Blitz is gonna shutdown in a year or so and there trying to grab the last bit of money. But anywhere u go this model of business is about everywhere.
Listen calm down Up until afew days ago you were able to gamble for a new t8 for the same price as a Collection of AAA games AND a new console. Now its just the price if a brand new gaming PC. All is well. Change your region to turkey. Get everything 80-90% off. You are welcome. Terry I do appreciate your channel above the rest. I quit the game though. I always like you do not appreciate these rainbow icecream maps and camo’s
Also people are not going to like this. The bot dance is ok since bots don't damage control. If the bot dance is ever fixed then bots should damage control.
Nooooo, not until they deny smoke screen. Am DD/CL player, and being spotting in my Smoke screen by bots is most infuriating (because = back to port) than wasting a torpedo salvo due to dancing bots
I’ve invested far too much into the game to just give up on it. Either wargaming puts a brick of money in my hand for what I’ve spent, or I will not cease looking to get the most out of what I bought.
@@moonreaps3753war thunder mobile is pretty good too and you get 3 games in one. You could play that on the side meanwhile, giving up my blitz account for tanks and warships was hard but I almost never think of it now
Well said Terry, but I love the idea of a Warship/Naval battle game. Which one should I play/switch to? (I don't have a PC or a console, so mobile-only)
War thunder mobile also has a naval mode and mobile only. The graphic and immersion is much better. You can get premium ships with gold there easily by watching ads. In terms of getting free ships in events, the overall grind experience is also less painful than WOWSB.
Warship mobile is fun too, and less time consuming. CV are broken there too of course, and mortar are OP as fuck, but fun. You can control your helicopter, your planes, do some land cover (and control it as well), or send nuclear bomb :D Legends, matter of taste, but it's in the same time too close to blitz and too different. War thunder is somehow harder, be careful to catastrophic explosion. Am always running out of engine/turrets/rudder/on fire... But fun (and great to switch from naval to plane or tank battles.
Every CC or person needs to handle this situation in their own way. I have told people to just go F2P and enjoy the game. Its still a fun game loop that I will and that also, might push Wargaming more to change than just, stop playing imo. Either way, well said Terry and you do you. Enough is enough for me. Bots, lack of bug fixes, lack of taking our feedback into new ships, bad events and upcoming items, the increase of prices was the straw that broke the camel's back. Doing it quietly is just a bad way of doing it. The lack of communication, once again, is just a double tap to the situation. Similar to the login bug that even I myself was effected by.
This is a last ditch effort to me. As with how PC went post-LWM, nothing changed. I am hoping this might do something but I am about 70% sure, nothing will come from it. They won't address it and let it slide. Weather the storm and just let the rage die down. I wish you the best Terry and someday, I hope we can run into each other for a podcast for another game. Else I will see you out on the high seas. Keep up the great videos.
Well said slai , definitely going to miss you !
Ps : I also will never forget the log in issue , smh at war gaming
Thank you for sticking with us Terry! We appreciate your insights and knowledge as they have helped us to improve our game play without a doubt. Quick game question - GK legendary mod, is it worth it? 🍻
Appreciate the video and your approach going forward.
I think everyone here wants the same thing. We would like to see the game continue to grow and add new things to the game but not at the expense of the customer’s in game experience. Unfortunately the company’s track record tells us that nothing will change going forward no matter what. I hope in this case I am wrong but I’m not hopeful.
Prices have increased x10 times in my region and I am not happy about it. But this is a very good summary of the whole issue and I find most of what you have said here very realistic. I don't think naive reactions will help us to analyze things more clearly.
I see it as a professional decision of a company cause they have data which we don't have to make deep analysis, this can be a mistake but also a conscious choice. (free market) and of course the right to react and protest remains with each person or together. And I'm also reactive.
But we need to look beyond the excited and hasty assessments. Yes, there are problems with the game, but I think it is useless to expect all of them to be solved at once and to combine the issues with each other. We need to set expectations in realistic terms. In this respect, I find your comments sensible.
In Canada, the cost of the basic blitz pass increased by 33%…. Free to play sounds like the way to go from now on
I honestly haven't been paying for the pass for a very long time, since I don't feel I get the value out of it. Also, I already have too many ships as it is :)
Well said Terry
I agree with you. Let's enjoy the game while we still can. Actually it would be nice if you do more videos on tactics and strategy. There are tons of (outdated) ship reviews/guides but very few map "reviews" and guides about what to do with different ship types on different maps. Showing some common strategies and counter measures. I know you have some and find them much more interesting and useful than ship reviews.
Thanks for your content.
Yes, I'll be doing more of those again as well. Latest and greatest premium ship reviews is what people wanted to see mostly, but that's on hold for now 😉
Glad to still have you Terry. I appreciate your thoughtfulness and consideration. You have long been consistent on personal responsibility about gambling crates and pricing.
I know that not everyone shares that idea, but I think personal responsibility for actions is one of the most important skills to have
Here in Brazil, the increase in prices was considerable, but not as much as you'd expect (was already expensive).
With the current prices, the basic Blitz pass cost almost as much as 4 months of RUclips Premium, for example.
3K gold now costs about a third of the Blitz Pass' price.
Very bad,i m with you Brother....greets from Germania.....
See that's something don't get. Here in AU, it's pricey, but about aligned with YT premium. Which is still too much, but for you, it's four times as much, which just doesn't make sense economically.
I can only imagine that very little thought went into the regional pricing outside the big EU/US areas and their adjacent markets
@FunandGameswithTerry In other WG titles, which have a store in their website, the prices can be higher than in-game (which has Google Play/Steam taxes, for example). So yeah, it's very weird.
Perfect, Terry. Thank you. We’ll be looking forward to your coming content.
Happy to hear you’ll be focusing on F2P content and drop the crates/high end gambling stuff. That makes 2 of us. All the best !
Happy new year.
Two other things that changed:
- the German price for the ' Elite Blitz Pass has risen from 24.99 € to 28.99 €
- if you play an ad in the battle result screen to increase the benefits earned in the battle by 50 % it does not include Commander Skill Points anymore, which I find bad.
Damn well said and while i will miss the premium reviews, i like to know what I'm fighting, I totally support your decision and am very glad you stayed in the cc program.
WG has finally put the nail on the coffin, i mean good CCs such as boblyn who tried to talk positive abt the game in pretty bad times also gave WG several warnings indirectly but now that they have done it and when u see someone like boblyn resign, u realise its ggs for WG, they and they re game is kind of cooked now
Terry thanks you for your contributions. I all way come to you for information on most events wowb
I like your point of view. That's pragmatic.
I did not buy anything for a while too, and as the winner of the last NA giveaway (papyotte) I even haven't spent the gold yet.
Salute for You 0>
For me, I'd like, the WG add this new login screen music to the port. :)
Terry, you are hip-deep in the community. Your channel is a household name around here. You are one of us and we love you.
Thanks! I always wanted to be more involved with livestreams, maybe tournaments, but never managed to get the time. I still have my niche :)
@@FunandGameswithTerryhi Terry. I think WG knows very well about the shrinking player base. Their price hike could be their last attempt to milk more money out of it before they have to abandon blitz. I previously saw many other games did this soon before they got abandoned. I’m leaving this comment not for WG or Blitz, but for you. Would you consider including other great games in your channel? Maybe similar to blitz? I personally don’t want your channel to be negatively affect by blitz. You are an epic game mentor and I would want your channel to be helpful to more people rather than get negatively affected by a sinking ship.
Thank you Terry for this balanced and thoughtful content. I highly appreciate your way of explaining things as they are.
And I am more than happy that you stay active for blitz.
You can shear a sheep many times, but you can only skin it once…
Happy New Year!
Vielen Dank und alles gute für das neue Jahr...
Well said, however I would like to see some reviews on premiums just because while I dont buy them i end up against them and like to see what they are capable of
I support that. Kind of 'how to play against ship XYZ' videos would still be nice.
WG used to sell bundles with great ships for a set price. It seems now they only use gambling crates which are a total bummer and rip off. Now with the price of gold, I’ll just stick to the ships I have or tech tree ships and no longer spend money.
Well said. WG has slowly drained the spirit out of wanting to play. Too bad; it's a great game otherwise. I guess Victor Kislyi's will to buy a bigger yacht is greater than satisfying his customer's gaming experience.
I feel lime you will not remember me but we talked a bit on your software quality video. Terry, sincerely, I love how you make your videos and I love how you are the guy who is here for the historical part, also, I became a much better player looking at your reviews, you was the first CC I started to watch and I'm happy to see that you are still here, but lets be honest here. As someone who worked with development you know that soon or later if you dont fix your software, it will probably be just to much fcked up to be usable. At this moment, mainly the ridiculous way bots work, are making new players think that the game is full of hackers. I can share here that one of my friends started playing the game to play with me and he left the game sending a whatsapp message to me saying "how can you play a game with that lot of hackers? Why they dont solve this?". In the real life you need to spend money to get money, even a regular worker needs to do this. If you work from 9am to 6pm you will need to use bus or train and you will pay for if, even if you are a home office worker you will need to pay for the energy you use, the point is that no matter how, you need to spend money to make money. All I see here is that wargaming, at least on WoW Blitz dont give a fck about its community.
I will share here something about another wargaming game, world of tanks blitz, where even not playing it for 3 mounts, I logged in at 25th december and I got 10k gold, got a free premium, got free boxes, got also free camos for my tanks and got a lot of booster. I spent 2k and bought a tank, got a box that box gave me another box that gave me 4k gold (with other 6 items). Sometimes my ping playing WoTb goes to the moon because the merged server with a random russian guy lol but even with that, even that I'm not nearly passionated for tanks how I am for ships, I need to say that WoW Blitz is just terrible. They do almost nothing for the community, they dont hear us, they dont even care. They job is just to release copy/paste ships that are straight bettet version of its free counterpart and gives us shitty events. Raising the prices is just a step in direction of an abyss that will kill this game.
19:41 listen to that part !
That says it all to me …
I definitely feel I am to invested emotionally for this game .
I remember months ago when it was almost impossible to log in , than I figured out, that if I unloaded and re downloaded it would log in , all that took atleast 15 minutes , and I did that consistently until they fixed the bug .
I spent entirely too much time in this game to not be happy with it .
I’m sure there are other ship combat games out there .
If I find a good one I’ll let everyone know !
Alternatives, at least on the mobile market, that I'm aware of: Warships Legends (console crossplay, WG title) is the best imo, followed by War Thunder Mobile. Modern Warships started out promising, but it's just P2W now imo. I can recommend giving Legends a try, it's a bit closer to PC mechanics-wise, but the jump from Blitz isn't as large as it may seem.
USA here. Not rich. I used to be able to support 3 accounts. I lost one when EG dumped Facebook. Tried to get it switched over. I never heard from WG about switching. I used to buy ships in bundles, outright, but not many of those offered anymore. I'm now down to one account. I buy the blitz pass every month, and maybe a little gold here and there. If I bought a ship on my main account, and I liked it, such as Odin, I would buy that ship on all three accounts. I used spend a good deal of money on thus game, not anymore. The resounding issues with bugs, the updates, log in issues, the loss of accounts, the freaking bots, etc, have caused me to severely limit the amount of money I spend. All of these issues hurt WG in the end. I've seen several spending players get fed up and quit. Thank you Terry, as I've watched your videos for years now. I'm glad you will continue.
I'm in a similar position (although I only have one account). I used to spend a lot (probably too much tbh) on the game, because I really enjoyed it, but now I just have too many ships to play :)
Hey mate,Terry , I really love your character, you’re brilliant man👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏, wishes the best🤞🤞🤞
Probably the most wholesome CC on the interwebs
Thank you for the video Terry. Love your channel and respect your opinions.
As always Terry, I appreciate your reviews, and all the helpful insights you have given over the years. I’ve been your subscriber for over four years, and on this game a little longer than that. I just cancelled my WOWS Blitz premium subscription, and will continue to play as FTP only. After cutting crate odds to ridiculous, and raising prices, I’ve had enough. They’ll miss me, I’ve spent a lot over the years. Thanks again! Binky
I haven't paid anything in years, but I did end up spending quite a bit early on, mostly for premium bundles (before there even was a blitz pass).
I used to think that players like you and me aren't the target group for monetisation, since we basically have all we need, but the subscription model introduced a means to gain recurring revenue.
But cranking prices up like that seems just counterintuitive, it's already been too expensive in a time of tight budgets, compared to what you get for it - it's not that that's free stuff.
Let's enjoy the F2P while it lasts.
I play US server, and this is the first I’ve heard of this. Haven’t checked for price increases. Have played 6 years now and have dumped a load of money in the game. The Yukon ordeal brought my expenditures to $0, but ironically (taking into account a price increase) this last two months I have begun to splurge. Went premium again. Mostly I went after ship purchases with a vengeance, BUT only those that are active museum ships, or real historical ships, such as Salem & Kidd. I’m not ashamed to admit I go after those ships with a ‘whatever it takes’ mentality. Fantasy ships…Have had Atlantico since it came out. Played it 5 times for 5 victories & 5 MVP’s and my brains just went NO! I will not admit here what I do when forced to play against them. I do not begrudge Wargaming making money, but if the future of the game comes into question, why would I or anybody want to drop money into something that is going to disappear. Best crank the spigot back down to zero and wait to see if Wargaming commits to the long haul. Terry’s points in this video suggest to me they have significant attitude issues to address.
Today was the first time I've encountered torpedos go right though my ship and not registering as damage, also i have started to encounter lags like when I hit the enemy ships it takes few secs for the damage to register and show up on my screen, another deal breaker for me is that I have seen many times real players on the enemy teams and they're ships zig zagging back and forward faster than what the ship can move in normal conditions, btw I play on EU servers while in Asia and have been like that for 2 years now and I have never seen bugs or lags that much but just recently somewhere last month and it has just got worse after mew years.
And if true raising prices without acknowledging the community is just bad business practice.
You got that bug just now? I have this almost every day. Even with wifi connectiom being fine, I get 1~2 hits from a 8~9 torp salvo, I get just 3~4 hits from a 12 shell salvo even me being at 4~5km away being able to see 10~12 shells hitting. Not just that, sometimes the game starts to lag then I get to lead 2 times more my shells to be able to hit something because my ship seems to shot from where it was 1 second ago.
@@moonlightsparkle2690 Yeah I know it's weird, but I've heard about these lags and bugs before on RUclips and reddit throughout the years and it's kinda funny they just happen to occur right now for me lol
Its very sad to see such a wonderful game been abandoned this way. Personally, since im only 17 i´ve never bought anything with real money and i didn´t noticed any changes in the price (I always considered that it was too expensive) I love your channel and I hope you keep making videos about World of warships blitz. Greetings from Spain!
Glad you're enjoying the free-to-play aspects, keep it up 😁
Like I've said, the fact that you can play successfully without being forced to pay is one of the main reasons I've been sticking with this game for so long.
Happy new year
Thank you Terry.
I am really disgusted with WG right now, I really do hope this protest does well
No. It wont unless you also protest the game. These CC’s are just outlets to get the Sheeps to Gamble their savings. If the sheeps still exist. The CC’s do no matter.
I've said this before, but colour me surprised that Soviets don't understand how economies work.
I'm in GG_EZ in NA. I was a bit shocked how many free gifts i received from fleet mates buying the battle pass. I would guess it was about half our fleet.
I am in Hong Kong, the price hike in gold is about few percentage points and Blitz pass is probably around 10%-15%.
I am not sure how often WG increased prices. But inflation do exist in this world, their overhead probably increase every year as well. So it is hard to ask them to not adjust price ever.
I did not buy blitz pass this month probably not due to price hike but I already own T61 and Blucher is not good enough to justify the price by itself.
Coming from World of Tanks Blitz, I notice everything is astronomically expensive in Warships Blitz. Battle Pass there is $12 (albeit no high tier tank reward) vs $28 here. I did grab that $2.99 gold bundle twice as a token reward for WG because I have played 500 hours of this game. Ultimately, that's how I look at spending money. If you get plenty of hours and joy from the game, then spending $20 on a camouflage is justified as a thank you to the developer. I've played WOTB for 6000 hours over the years and spent about $150. A movie is $20 for 2 hours entertainment. You do the math! 😂
Of course, I never spend money on gambling unless it involves a guarantee. The only such example was a Lucky 5 box for a tier 5 tank for $8. If I got something already owned, a Lucky 6 box would be the compensation, and so on. I ended up with a tier 7 tank. Every other purchase has been direct for a tank or gold, or a few battle passes when a tier 6 tank was part of the rewards (two were Terminator themed tanks).
I'm from Eastern Europe and honestly, the battle pass was a bit expensive for me even before the price increase and the bundles seemed disgustingly overpriced to me (I've been playing for 4 years and I haven't bought any bundles, or golds, just the battle pass at a discount). In those four years, only the turret bug has been fixed out of the mentioned bugs (thank God!). I ask: why do they want the increased prices when objectively they do very little for the game? It's greed. Elementary, Watson.
Happy New Year Terry from Canada, prices went up exponentially here. I appreciate your views and agree with your decisions. Unfortunately WG doesn’t care what we say they will continue to kill the game until it disappears. I’m of the opinion that their goal is to close blitz and only have legends and pc, that was the reason for the poll around 3 weeks ago.
I'm in the US & I didn't notice any increase as yet today.
Wasn't there supposed to be a new year e mail with stuff?
I got nothing☹️
The U.S on averge was already paying more than certain countries (from what I’ve heard), it seems like the price hike was the not same for everyone one, U.S. might not have happened yet we will see.
Great video terry. On the tech tree focus. How about a playlist, how to make tech tree tier 9s work, my recommendations to start French Saint-Louis & IJN Takahashi
Saint-Louis gave me one of my best ranked seasons ever behind only Alsace. it wrecks bbs it wrecks cruisers. Saint-Louis does amazing in ranked.
On one hand I could quite possibly understand it with the inflation and worldwide economy issues, wich we allready got since at least 2022.
And the ingame prices didn't increased in that time one single time. So, yeah, maybe, I got it
But this sneaky-meaky-a$$ silent steahlth way, with wich they've done that is pure next level bllsht !!
i guess they never learn from the previous CCs Exodus where they basically lost their biggest CCs in a span of a week
I understand people are ticked off about the increase in gold, but you can always buy the basic blitz pass at a discount n the first week every month (and lately it comes with 30 days of Premium status). For the price, you get almost 3,000 gold, as well as two extra ships, historical camo, and a ton of silver, supplies, crates, etc.
i have never paid to play WOWZ. It is a fantastic free game.
Very respectable decision
Great video explaining the business mechanics behind a game. With games it's the same as with everything else in life, can you afford the price of items that is asked, are you prepared to spend what is asked and do you want to have it bad enough.
For a lot, the game seems to have been worth to spend on. I spent myseld enough on games, but always set a maximum and never on things I could earn. The 1st game I quit spending on I still play as f2p, it's no issue not to do the paid passes, buy premiums,... you can live without them.
I totally love your take on this, switch from reviewing everything new to just f2p only. I loved what you did in the Atlantico review though, tell the community how to counter it. I would love to see more 'you can counter this paid for ship with a TT ship like this' videos. Would it be an idea to enlist the CCs that left to help out to create the 'this is how to fight premiums' when they are getting overpowered? They have more then enough knowledge and private accounts that are big enough. After the server merge this should be possible, with some coordination. ;)
Keep up the good work.
I saw the new prices, I’m pissed. 😡
Everything is well said. I'm happy that here in Brazil the price for BP hasn't changed, together with the premium it's equivalent to about 5 dollars, same what was about last 6 months. So if i just playing and doesn't look at discord and here i wouldn't even notice what's happening. I'm glad you continue, as the first CC I started watching and learning how to improve my game. The other CCs have had other games and plans for some time anyway. I also play other games where there are ships, but WowsB is still the main game. I just hope they will improve the bots, the crates system, MM, sometimes lag and more respect for the community. In the meantime, I'm going to get tokens for the new Commonwealth cruiser and some titanium
???
In Thailand change price +5% - 7%
We have been buying expensive things for a long time but now it is even more expensive.
It most certainly is pay 2 win when you can buy a ships like fletcher b which has twice the torp dpm of the tech tree fletcher, thats literally the definition of pay to win.
I haven't bought any ships last couple of months. Basicly since borodino from mine sweep made me more aware of the money grab. Haven't bought alot historical camos as well, i think the lack of creativity in historic camos is below par, mostly it's a slightly different colour now and that's it.
For me the reason why I am shifting to legends is the game feels more complete and balanced. Better graphics and sounds. Controller support. CV is reworked and feels better. You can actually kill planes before they land bombs and torps. Bots are still stupid but feel more solid than blitz. Tempory camos can be crafted in permanent camos and be upgraded. Premium ships already have historical camos. Captains can be used on several ships at the same time. Also events are real events like the spaceships with actual space maps and ships.
For me blitz feels they don't care to fix any bugs, glitches, reworks and balancing because I have a feeling the game will shutdown in a year or 2. And they tell people to move to legends where everything is implented and changed what blitz should have been done. Blitz is making a money grab before they are closing servers
Hi Terry, I understand that there is a lot of tension in the moment. I’d like to say, I respect your reservation and caution in the moment and am fully behind your stance. Nonetheless, I was looking to leave a comment to perhaps at least uphold some form of normalcy. When do you intend to review the Yukikaze? Additionally, I have had a group throw around ideas as to how to buff Castilla. Could I know your thoughts and suggestions on the subject? Thanks.
Yes, a bit of normalcy is good to have :) I'll start testing Yukikaze tonight, will try to get a video out over the weekend, if possible.
Castilla needs base range & a dispersion buff. For T10, with a ship that huge and squishy, you need to get way too close to anything else to make her work.
Me personally i think this is a terrible bussiness decision. Not even going to mention all of the bugs we've been playing with for so long.
Targetting the small percentage of whales that will purchase no matter the price instead of oppening the market by lowering prices to a broader spectrum is absolutely dumb.
I truly hope the community grows conscience on the ammount of disrespect this decision shows,also on lack of other decisions like bug fixing.
I truly truly hope we make this game crash and burn no matter how much i enjoy playing it, there are indeed other games.
These guys are idiots. As someone who worked with administration I can say that all they are doing is killing the game. New players are lefting because they dont know that bots are bots and think the game are full of hackers. Older players will not pay because the game is fucked by all these bugs. Some players will decide that it's the last drop of water and will left the game, then wargaming will just earn more by each buy but earn less overall. If they toke the other way, reducing prices by 20% to 40% (40% for the more fcked contries like mine Brazil), they would make people think more about buying because it's less expensive. The more acessible your product is, the more sells it will have. It's a digital game, the one who pays for something will not recieve like for example a 50 thousand tons battleship, will just recieve a digital copy of it. For me they are just dumb
The Blitz Passes are not offering much of anything that interests me any more.
Same. It are all copy paste ships with different stats
Free to play is the way to go for me from now on. Minus two ships I really want. Marlborough and DZP. Those I would consider paying for. Im fortunate that at this point in the game I have a great number of premiums and legendary commanders.
DZP is too easy imo. I've got more premiums than I can reasonably play, collected over the years, so I'm not actually the target group for WG anymore 😅
@@FunandGameswithTerry Haha. Same here. I just want DZP to be a pain in Atlantico's arse :)
Fkn prices are outlandish! Out of control and it costs alot of players too. Also, lack of quality with it, has gone down .
And with the players left, we are stuck playing down a tier for days on end sometomes.
I cant even brong up new folks in the fleet as it becomes discuraging for new players in the fleet that everytime they play with me on thier team, they too, are now down a tier.
New ships are just modified repeats..old ships are not very well upgraded while new ones light fires at will, are much more accurate then your older ship.
The bots can now spin and outrun 60 knt torpedoes.
Its like the managment team in oblivious .
Game is dying is a cash grab, most of my games at night are just bots :/
As a sidenote I play less than 1% of the amount I used to over the past couple of months. Just so burnt out on the game
I'm more ambivalent but I stand in solidarity with the players even if it kills this game that I actually still enjoy.
they won't come to their senses, and if the player base just kills the game I think that's justice in the end.
When is there not drama, Terry 😂
True that, but this seems a tad more serious, given that folks like Slai47 and PB have basically handed in their badges
I haven't noticed any changes (i am in the US) but things like the Blitz Pass is still under $20 (old Blitz Passes had fewer rewards and cost $20). However I still don't like what they are doing. Some have theorized that this is the last era of Blitz before it gets shut down.
Rovio has done this with a game I played as a kid, Angry Birds Go where they deleted your progress and rebuilt the game up with fewer levels and more grindy approach, not to mention the "improved" version had tons of bugs making the game hilarious to straight up unplayable, some were fixed but not all (Sounds Familiar, right?) and then Rovio cut the tournaments then silently shut down the servers and closed like 10 other games along with it.
I think 2025 might be the last full year of Blitz if nothing gets fixed.
20% increase for the US. I believe. The rest of these creators make these absurd videos about premiums as if they are the end all be all. Despite them not showing it in the video, it obviously weighs heavy in their head. Which is still wrong because Terry doesn’t realize it but gaming addiction (gambling addiction) is real. Hence why you can go do research and see countless stories of parents emptying their kids college funds and such. Its an addiction. Dangling drugs infront of a dope user. No different. Maybe a little different. However these creators understand their purpose. Minus terry he seems not like the rest.
here in NA I haven't seen so many full matches in tier x. people are really trying to make it cost WG by playing more but paying less and focusing on f2p.
At this higher price range they should dispense off good t8 premium ships. Blitz pass of this month has been a disaster. Another point is that people who are investing in the game with blirz pass and premium account should be given better priority in crates of getting ships. Sometimes the freebies take up good ships but the premium account holders are neglected. I don't know how bullshit it is ! But wargamins on the verge of doom. Losing ccs losing premium account holders not very soon lose the business.
I don't play wowsb but that's just scummy for any game
What is WG smoking?
WG doesn’t care about the people who essentially beta tested this thing for 5+ years. Its a business, we all get it but this is a shame. If they warned the community and explained that they « needed » to do « some » price increase after fixing every problems (bots, login, MM, ship balancing, selling high tiers ship to new players, etc) maybe it would have been an easier pill to swallow… WG, in my opinion, see that new players are their cash cow, so they will keep producing more content oriented toward them, making this thing irrelevant.
In Germany all costs 5 Euro more and there is no gold bonus on first time buying Gold
You probably got off lightly
Portugal +5% more or less. But bugs are ridiculous still. Should be something old players rewards, I don't know I play since year 1. I will not stop playing but sure less buying like u said : it's a free game still
Portugal had a 20%+ increase lol 35k gold used to cost 99.99 now it costs 124.99euros.
More...I've played this game and in total I spended maximo 30 Euros. Tier X I have 7 boats premium, and 9 /11 lege captains. To get fun u don't need much after all u play with a few ships all the time
I guess the smaller "packs" werent increased within the same percentage.
Yeah u are right I just saw it now
Did this only happen to WoW Blitz? Did it effect tanks and other Wargaming games?
No idea honestly, but it's worth comparing with Warships Legends in your particular market, since that's a directly competing WG mobile title
The new prices are too much. Perhaps it is a personal decision to look for an other game, will see.
Play warthunder mobile in protest, Gaijin does bad, sometime but the economy and free stuff they give you is leagues and leagues better then blitz, this is coming from a tanks and ship player
Yeah it's bad to raise prices , but if u play for free it's not much of an issue
As long as you don't _have_ to pay, I'm ok with it as well. Still, some people are very invested, and pay for premium time & ships, and for them a hike that can be massive like this is quite a middle finger
I've never spent any money on the game and I just play the game free. They just need to fix bugs and it's all fine
They should consider to move the HQ to China. Stuffs are cheaper there.
I'm playing in India and the blitz pass costs me 4 days worth of food which is 800 rupees.
If i starve myself of anything for 4 days I get to play game with my pixel boats happily.
Thankfully I'm not an idiot and saved the money only to get crushed by whales in the game.
Good game.
Free to play but takes alot to unlock tiers. Gets very Boring how long the grinds are. Love the grind but it does get old after a bit. I Agree games can make money. But the Rate drops are terrible for the return with ur investment in money and time. The Bugs in this game and other issues really make u feel they dont care. I truly Belive Blitz is gonna shutdown in a year or so and there trying to grab the last bit of money. But anywhere u go this model of business is about everywhere.
Listen calm down
Up until afew days ago you were able to gamble for a new t8 for the same price as a Collection of AAA games AND a new console. Now its just the price if a brand new gaming PC. All is well. Change your region to turkey. Get everything 80-90% off. You are welcome.
Terry I do appreciate your channel above the rest. I quit the game though. I always like you do not appreciate these rainbow icecream maps and camo’s
Play metal-storm or just wows legends, this game isn't going to get better
Having a great time with legends. Have 30+ premium days without spending a cent. Got 3 premiums through crates without spending a cent.
Also people are not going to like this. The bot dance is ok since bots don't damage control. If the bot dance is ever fixed then bots should damage control.
Nooooo, not until they deny smoke screen. Am DD/CL player, and being spotting in my Smoke screen by bots is most infuriating (because = back to port) than wasting a torpedo salvo due to dancing bots
"no until they STOP denying smoke..."
Play wows legends instead it’s a lot better you get more stuff for free
I’ve invested far too much into the game to just give up on it. Either wargaming puts a brick of money in my hand for what I’ve spent, or I will not cease looking to get the most out of what I bought.
@@moonreaps3753war thunder mobile is pretty good too and you get 3 games in one. You could play that on the side meanwhile, giving up my blitz account for tanks and warships was hard but I almost never think of it now
Well said Terry, but I love the idea of a Warship/Naval battle game. Which one should I play/switch to? (I don't have a PC or a console, so mobile-only)
War thunder mobile also has a naval mode and mobile only. The graphic and immersion is much better. You can get premium ships with gold there easily by watching ads. In terms of getting free ships in events, the overall grind experience is also less painful than WOWSB.
@@marcochan9859 Awesome! Thx so much!
Warship mobile is fun too, and less time consuming. CV are broken there too of course, and mortar are OP as fuck, but fun. You can control your helicopter, your planes, do some land cover (and control it as well), or send nuclear bomb :D
Legends, matter of taste, but it's in the same time too close to blitz and too different.
War thunder is somehow harder, be careful to catastrophic explosion. Am always running out of engine/turrets/rudder/on fire... But fun (and great to switch from naval to plane or tank battles.
