Trust wasn't there in the first place

[glad kelp]

It was there until it wasn't

So at first there was only a tiny bit, then big trust and now just no trust

But yeah

[grizzled meadow]

As much as it is true that today I can love you and tomorrow I'll wake up thinking the opposite, I believe that trust should always be there from the beginning, it's the thing on which an entire relationship is based

[glad kelp]

You can tell they had issues

[glad kelp]

Luckily my first relationships had trust already

Just they didn't like me

What is stopping you from picking the game up again?

[scenic sable]

P2W Lootbox garbage-fest. =)

[clear prism]

Not P2W at all. I grinded to like 6 Tier 10 ships and I am tearing apart those premium ships 😂

[scenic sable]

It was way back when. It soured the game for me.
Getting matched up against multiple premium ships with maxed out skills.

[scenic sable]

I might pick it up again to try and claim Shimakaze.

[clear prism]

Wait until you fight against subs 🤣

[scenic sable]

Oh right.. Subs weren't a thing back then.

[clear prism]

To be honest, there are some real bullshit "features" added in

But it all comes down to your teammates, really

If they are bad, you are going to have a bad time, simple as that

[scenic sable]

I-19 among the subs?

[clear prism]

Only American and German subs at the moment

But I did hear that a Japanese and Soviet one are coming in the next patch

Ah but the I-56 is coming

[scenic sable]

Aw, it's not the Goya (I-58).

[clear prism]

Pretty sure they are going to add all those legendary subs once the development phase is over

(Subs are still in "development", you see)

[scenic sable]

Just like the entire game has been for over ten years.

[scenic sable]

Any specifics?

[clear prism]

Subs, for example lol

The CV rework is bullshit

They added Superships, AKA "Tier 11" which has some stupidly overpowered ships

Commander rework, that really just harmed the game more

But in return, they added a ton of ships

The french gunboat DD line, italian battleships, german CVs

[scenic sable]

How is that not P2W if you pay to progress a.k.a. access to 'overpowered ships'?

[clear prism]

Well, anyone can get there

[scenic sable]

You are actively ignoring my point.

[clear prism]

Well see, the Tier 11 ships are tech tree ships. Each nation gets these superships at a specific line that you can purchase with in game money and get said ship

It takes a lot of grinding and yes, people do pay money just to speed up the grind

But it is still possible to get good, overpowered ships through legit playing the game

Kremlin, for example. I spent what, 2 months to get the ship and the correct build on it and now I demolish everyone

Even those people in their Premium ships because just outright buying a ship is not going to make you "overpowered"

You need to know its quirks and strengths, how to play it or else the ship is straight up useless

[scenic sable]

This is the definition of P2W.

Doesn't matter if it is possible for everyone to get there eventually. If you can pay your way to acquiring powerful equipments, levels, consumables, heroes, champions, talents, etc. you are paying for power which automatically gives you an advantage over those who don't pay. No matter what multiplayer game it is.

[clear prism]

Equipment means nothing if you are awful at utilizing it. Hell, I destroy Tier 10 Premiums with my Tier 8 Bismarck just because I learned how to counter those ships and know how to properly use the ingame mechanics to counter them all

There are counters, you just have to know them. Purchasing progress does not make you better. In fact, it makes you worse because you do not go through tech trees and learn

[fading shuttle]

the ability to get better things by paying for them is defacto pay to win mate

[clear prism]

So if anything, you straight up dumb yourself down

[fading shuttle]

skill isnt a factor in pay to win, its the ability to buy ingame things with real money that give you an advantage

[glad kelp]

Bro

What does it mean when i nearly don't talk at all?

Like rn I'm just chatting on phone

[clear prism]

But here is the thing, they do not give an advantage if the opposing player knows how to counter

There are like 3 ships I know of which are straight up so overpowered, there is no counter

But they are locked behind a literal grind that you can not purchase your way into

[glad kelp]

Ah

I guess wrong time

[heady crow]

Wdym pay to progress isnt the same thing as pay to win? :yep

[glad kelp]

Yep

Seems p2w

[clear prism]

I personally do not think it is P2W because you can easily counter those ships by just knowing how to play the game

[glad kelp]

Yes

[clear prism]

But eh, perhaps I am not experienced enough then

[glad kelp]

Also p2w ppl: you're cheating!!!11@!

[clear prism]

I did have someone accuse me of cheating yesterday actually lol

[glad kelp]

Called it

[clear prism]

Because he had the Tirpitz premium and I had stock Gneisenau

Absolutely fucked him over lol

[glad kelp]

Nic3

[scenic sable]

Your argument does not refute the point that it is pay to win. Just because you can win against P2W players doesn't disprove the game's inherent P2W nature.

[clear prism]

Well yes, they want you to buy premiums, after all

[clear prism]

I am not disapproving of that point. What I do disapprove of is that those paid means actually help because experience outranks it all

[scenic sable]

Furthermore, you are cherry-picking your argument to make it sound better by only comparing yourself to lower-skilled players.

[clear prism]

Who else am I supposed to compare with?

I do not have any friends to play this game with lol

[grizzled meadow]

Throw me some numbers

[fading shuttle]

that doesnt mean its not pay to win, just because experience means more doesnt mean that you dont get an advantage, and secondly in every game the majority of players are average to below average in skill, therefore there is the possibility the majority wont even have the skill to deal with it

[grizzled meadow]

Al can you not really go out in a discussion without using cherry picking and anecdotal? At least once?

[scenic sable]

Those of the same skill level as you.
Statistically, those players of equal skill (playing the same ship type as you) would win more often with premium ships in a one-to-one match up.

[clear prism]

Which they do

[scenic sable]

It's not my fault people only use those methods to drive their arguments.

[clear prism]

If you look at the statistical performance of those ships online, you can see that premium ships rank very low in win and kill rates

Because people buy said premium ship, suck at it and then leave it

While in the meantime, tech tree ships end up teaching the players how to play the type of ship they will get at the end of the tier

So yes, buying a high tier premium will give you a boost by straight up skipping the tech tree grind

(Also some economic boosts so you can grind XP and Credits, kind of the main driving point)

But a Tier 8 tech tree ship can easily match up to any Tier 8 premium

That is pretty much it

[scenic sable]

What statistics?

[pastel quartz]

whats happening here

[scenic sable]

These statistics?

[clear prism]

Yes, those are it

[pastel quartz]

is this some sort of argument over world of warships? or warthunder maybe?

[fading shuttle]

warships

[scenic sable]

How does this prove it is not P2W?

[pastel quartz]

i think if you leak government documents that could help you in your conversation

[fading shuttle]

argument over whether the premium ships can be truly considered pay to win or not

[narrow lotus]

I like bf 109 plane

[fading shuttle]

please dont i want to keep track of the gamma updates

[scenic sable]

No thank you.

[clear prism]

First off, you need to look at how many battles have been fought in those ships because tech tree ships will considerably drop since well, everyone can get them

And also, these ships are being utilized by players who are already really good at the game. They can hammer out similar performances in other ships (but they come without any economic boosts which does not help grinding resources and credits)

(And some of these premiums are actually coal/steel ships which you actively need to grind in the game and can not purchase with IRL money)

[scenic sable]

And where does your "just counter them "-argument come to play?

[narrow lotus]

War thunder ia grindy af and it defo helps paying for progression if u deem it worthy , but u can grind it in the end as a free player

Also , u can kill premium stuff with regular stuff if u are skilled

[scenic sable]

You're really undermining your own position.

[clear prism]

You can still very much counter them but eh, it is what it is

If you want to drive the narrative that this game is P2W, then perhaps play the game first and get first hand experience?

Because it is vastly different from what it was a few years back

[scenic sable]

I did in 2018.
It was pain.

And even as far back as 2016.

[clear prism]

Ah yes, when consumables still has premium counter parts

[scenic sable]

I got to tier 6 and got stomped by pre-matched premium groups constantly.

[clear prism]

Now that was actually P2W

Good thing they removed those entirely

[scenic sable]

It still is P2W today, it is the irrefutable truth since you can directly purchase statistically more powerful ships than Average Joe F2P can tech up to.

No, you are factually incorrect in this.

[clear prism]

If that is what you believe, sure thing

[scenic sable]

I have provided hard evidence, it is not about "uncertain belief". It's attained knowledge.

[quasi sundial]

Just because it is possible to win against someone who is a whale doesn't mean the game is not p2w

Don't be a "it doesn't happen to me so it's not true"

[fading shuttle]

like i said the majority of the playerbase in any game is always of intermediate skill

therefore the chance of them not being skilled enough to deal with the paying player is high

[quasi sundial]

Same with clash royale, I never spent a dime and can still win most matches

But some ppl just have better and higher level cards

[quasi sundial]

Making it almost impossible to win

I will put it bluntly, if you are arguing this much about P2W, then you are better off not playing the current WoWs at all. At least every game has three premiums in it on each side. Hell, I got free premium ships myself. I mostly speak from my experience with the game and what I have asked fellow players in the chats about their opinions
Perhaps that is not enough to contribute a proper view on the whole P2W debate but I know that that is not something people in the community talk about. It is mostly the subs and CV rework which is currently being debated over
Furthermore, I can tell you that it is not attained knowledge but more a brief look over statistics and outdated experience of the game. Attained knowledge would require you to be right there within the community at this moment, otherwise all you really impart in the discussion is plainly wrong
I have never seen anyone in the entire game complain about P2W, not even the Streamers who are the most vocal of the bunch

[scenic sable]

For clarity, I am not complaining—and no I won't be playing Warships again.
I am stating that the game is by definition P2W, you (and many other players/payers) may not see it that way, but that's because of acceptance.
You are trying to downplay my argument as "complaining" because you cannot refute it.
You are also 'once again', saying "I haven't seen anyone else complain about P2W" as a source-less anecdote.

[clear prism]

I am mostly reciting from personal experience, I never said I have any proper sources

[gloomy roost]

Man, one of the great things about warthunder is just going into the discussions and see what people are complaining about today, since it's always how stupid they've made the grind or people complaining about people using aircraft in a tank game.

[glad kelp]

Yep

[clear prism]

If you want proper sources and so forth, the forums are your best bet. I am nowhere near a professional player myself, I play like what, once or twice a week?

[scenic sable]

Yet staunchly defend the video game similar to a professional player.

[glad kelp]

Yeah

I never defended the game at all. I only wanted to drive the point that you do not have to pay a dime to play well. They obviously want you to buy the premiums, hence why they make them the way they are. But I refuse to pay money and just play through progression with time

[quasi sundial]

Because I personally believe that Premiums are a complete scam, you can perform just as well with tech tree ships

Again, personal belief

i would've became a WoW fan too if the gameplay was a bit more fast paced

or was that a different one

He got so absorbed in the grind, straight up had no time for anything else

it was fun starting out from lvl 1 definitely

but when you start to reach "endgame" it just becomes a grind fest

You must g r i n d.
