Saw a comment on TommyBoy's vid that actually has some merit and intrigued me... Staggered spawns. Essentially you spawn in based on your ship class. DD's spawn in largely where the spawns are now, Cruisers a KM or two behind them, and the BB's/CV's another KM or two behind that. Would encourage the intital skirmish but give the bigger, more visible ships time to maneuver into positions.

Spartan probably started a whole rabbit hole because wargaming refuses to do anything (translation for non-gamers: spartan is complaining for a good reason)

I just hope that the devs are listening to these discussions and at least asking themselves the same questions or potential solutions we are discussing

Got three suggestion, 1st don't have legendary ships as campaign ships for inexperienced players to buy out, 2nd introducing a third inspiration slot, 3rd have new players have to level up through experience before they can play higher tiers. I think win percentages are useless because you have no control of other players play styles. I would love to see what I shoot at actually get hit lol.....also how about fixing the dispersion and grouping issues. It's like every 3rd shot taken is perfect but the previous two are all over the place, especially when you have high ranked commanders and inspirations put on specifically for said dispersion and grouping. I also think its unfair that they can buff a ship that you spend money on. I also think a once a year commander reset would be awesome. Lastly, I would love it if they would reset all ships back to how they intended them to be from the get go. We have training rooms now and tons of how to videos to learn from. I just think it would make the game play as you would say spicy. BTW love the content keep up the good work!!!

I remember the stories about your dad. And I remember when you were throwing the idea back-and-forth between quitting your job and doing this full-time. You've ended up being as much of this game as the game itself. So just wanted to tell you that keep up the good work. I play as sirtemplerknight I hope I get to play with you again sometime out there

IMO most of the bad play comes from a lack knowledge and this is the area I'd like to see improved. Some of this information can be in a description of a ship, such as it's role, recommended builds etc. I can't imagine how daunting this game is to someone new to the game, sure you can learn the controls in 10 minutes but learning all the ins and outs of each ship is a different thing all together. Also I wouldn't mind seeing on the load screen for each map good places to position and tips why it's good to win your flank. So for me the biggest thing many players lack is knowing the role of their ship, it's weaknesses and strengths and positioning. Also some maps could be tweaked with spawns and layout. I can't imagine how many ideas the development team gets that will fix the game, like training rooms lol

I started playing in November of 2019. I've been playing since and I still to this day Love this game. I have watched every video you've ever put out. And I learned initially how to play the ships by watching your videos. And I've never seen you as toxic salty yes.. And sometimes the language is a little hard. But always find you entertaining to watch. And I've always learned from every video. You've put out even to this date. I did get to play on a team with you. One time I was on the opposite cap and the two ships that were with me turned around and ran and I died in the first five minutes Underwhelming

Congrats on 50K Spartan. Well-deserved milestone met. On to the next one! Keep up the good work 🖒💪🖒

This is kind of out there but it would be cool if Newer players could go back and play campaigns that they missed like the Jean Bart and Brandenburg. It would only be available to players that started after those campaigns and wargaming could charge maybe 5,000 dubs to access it. I also agree with the other points you and the community have made spartan.

Been playing this game on and off for about 4 years. But the past 12 months I have found it easier to get money and kills. Not sure if I have gotten better or the game has gotten easier. But I remember when I started I could hit a citadel for the life of me or get any money to get ships. But I’ve gone from the worse on the team to top 3 every battle. And that on tiers 5-7. Legendary tier is still a struggle for me. But watching your videos has also helped a lot. Keep the videos coming.

The #1 problem of this game for me will be RNG. Battleships really suffer because of this. No matter what battleship you run and no matter your build, you're gonna get bad salvos. I'm just saying those bad salvos should be way less frequent then they are. This is one of the many reasons cruisers are too strong is because the class that counters them can't effectively do so.

We need mandatory tutorials for starting new tech tree lines and when advancing tiers. Give rewards to completing there tutorials, and give players an option to contine to use these tutorials to earn commander progression items and steal badges. Andfor thaie that max out the tutorials, give them XP boosters for playing their ships role in matches. Say, you get a signifigant boost in xp if you spot in a dd and the spotted ship get yeeted. And, if you yeet the spotted ship, you get an xp boost.

Part of the problem is that campaign tasks may run contrary to winning the game. The task may require 50 fires. It would be more advantageous to use AP on that broadside cruiser but that won’t advance the campaign. So the player uses HE instead. Numerous other examples how the two don’t jibe.

I agree that the spawns should be moved back at least 5 km. There are also a couple of other things that should get changed. Like DDs at the beginning of the match, torpedos should be on reload. Also, I feel like BBs struggle way too much because they are literally dependent on RNG, which can result in feeling like you have zero impact in a game. You can be in the best position for your situation, and if you can't hit what you're aiming at all, it makes you feel like a bad player because you cant control whats happening with your shells. The only way I see that it can be fixed is to increase their accuracy across the board by giving them Aiming Systems Mod 0, which only certain low tier ships have, but every ship has it in PC. There are just some tweaks they need to do. I also agree with removing the aim assist.

Tbh, I think it would be cool if they added campaigns. You can play different nations and can try out different ships to possibly widen peoples views on certain ships :) it would also help teach people how to play certain ships. What do yall think?

Congrats on 50k!

Spartan speaking facts plus some people have to be patient changes to the game don't happen in a instance it takes time even though some changes might be questionable at least we have a development team that listens to us but guys just give them time and just maybe it will Happen hope you had a great day spartan 100k here we come

Players: Adjust the spawns and improve the quality of the game! WG: We hear you and get excited for... MORE LOOT BOXES!

I think a better economy or some boost events would help keep a larger playerbase. have maybe 3 modes for AI easy, normal, hard. ramp up the XP earnings in there for the higher end - this will also boost new players experience instead of dealing with sharks even at teir 3 with maxed commanders in PVP. move the spawns back about 3ish km (I dont wanna sail for 5 min in a BB before I can even fire) and improve the grouping/dispersion of shells etc VEEERY slightly to help with consistency. side note I am spending every match I can in a carrier and there is zero aim assistance for anything resembling auto aim so it only helps normal ships with actual guns. in my experience auto aim is shit if you do not add any extra measurements or leading to the shots. if you just aim and fire you are lucky to get 1 shell to land so it does not need any nerfs or changes. helps a lot to get a decent measure of what the ship you are looking at is doing in general.

Congrats on the 50k subs!!🎉🎉 i knew you would get there! Keep up the amazing work!! 💪🏼

The skill based matchmaking can be easily implemented if you just tweak ranked battles. Make seasons longer like one month a quarter. Every month will have a tiered ship requirement to keep the lobby full. Progression is based heavily on individual performances. Wins/losses don’t carry the weight they currently do in progression. If you participate and get far enough along maybe there’s a legends season in the last month of the year

One of the biggest problems in the game is the number of destroyers its 0% fun when you always have to play with a battleship against 4-5 destroyers on each side change it to 1 or maybe 2 max

I like the suggestion of moving the spawn points. I also like the suggestions from the reply videos of adding new modules with interesting effects. 🎉

I wana thank you spartan for being the main reason this game became popular in the first place. No matter what anyone says you had the biggest impact on bringing players to the game. I may not be as aggressive as u game play wise but I always love ur videos and appreciate all ur videos teaching us how to play.

I feel ya on the crappy economy. I ground WoWs on XBox for a year and a half before buying a PS5. You can't transfer your Wargaming account between consoles, so starting over has been a pain and it's gonna take a while to get back to where I was. I miss my Shimakaze.

I have to agree with Spartan here because my dad has found interest in this game and wants to play with me and we have and still do but sometimes it gets to where he doesn't have a chance he's use to playing older games and he wants to master Battleships as his main lol so I think it should happen the way Spartan here is saying just at least the slightest bit of giving that chance will help out i think and I think it's just something we all experience with at one point in time

Personally I think they need to randomize the islands, and spawn points. People learn and memorize the spots to run to and where to shoot from. Makes it not fun for us "average" players. I have tons of ideas, but wargaming won't listen to us normies. It's also way to expensive to play higher tier ships unless you have a division. Also, they should really do a campaign style where you can earn steel or something. Make it where you can play with friends, kinda like on the android version, the ai gets cranked up and you have objectives to complete.

Well this was interesting, and I agree with Spartan with everything 'cept for one...changing the current auto-aim feature. What Spartan will yap about to hit 50,000 subscribers...goll-lee. Before I speak about Spartan's highly controversial, and culturally polarizing idea, that has the potential to lobotomize Western Civilization as we know it.....I have a question for you, the reader. What's the skill ceiling, for this game today? How would you describe it? That ceiling, in the eyes of Moony, is too high right now. What does Moony see out there?? Ships going broadside and staying broadside, ramming unnecessarily, abandoning flanks, damage chasing, no spotting, winning harder, failing to shoot at priority targets, not moving up, not capping bases, little to no teamwork, and the uncertain rollercoaster feature known as RNG that influences everything your guns will or will not do... And on top of all of that, the auto-aim should be made more difficult? My Cringe-0-Meter just went off the rails...with THAT idea. Raising the skill ceiling in a game that already has a severe skill issue regarding in-game fundamentals will resolve nothing. It has a much higher likelihood to make things worse and cause players to move on...permanently. Especially new players, which one should not want to happen. That's not the wisest of risks to take with this game, given where the skill ceiling is at, as of today. There has to be some established ease of use in this game for that all-important first impression to bring new people in and keep them engaged. Positioning, map awareness, playing objectives, prioritizing targets, using cover, and in-match anticipation....that's a lot of skillsets that needs to be understood already, and apparently some of the worst understood and implemented skillsets in the game. Adding to that list increases the problem. On a personal level, I don't see this ever happening because the biggest wow-factor this game has is the shooting of guns and hitting of intended targets. THAT sells the game along with the historical aspects regarding the ships themselves. Or as the old saying sez...." keep it simple stupid." But that's my opinion. You may disagree and that's fine. Aside from that...changing the positions of the spawns and backing things up 3-4 kilometers is a fantastic idea. The AI needs to be completely reworked instead of allowing it to stay in its further format. Fire Damage needs to be reworked to be a bit less overwhelming. We need more maps including an open water map with zero cover. We need better match objectives...scenarios would be nice. Overpens need to be less of an issue. RNG needs an adjustment to reflect realistic expectations with results. If, for example, a cruiser is caught completely broadside at medium to short range by a battleship, that cruiser should be neutralized by a well-aimed salvo. The overpens, at the level that they've been, rewards mediocrity. CV's which clearly have not caught on as The Next Big Thing on consoles, is a GOOD thing, until they're at least reworked to hold them more accountable during a match. They attack with too much impunity. We need a third inspiration slot for every ship commander. We should be able to mood these ships a bit better than what we are allowed to currently. It's past due. WoW Legends can't afford to raise the skill ceiling right now. It's already too damn high regarding the simple simplicity of not getting sunk in the first 2-3 minutes of a match, but that's just me.

An obvious compromise to the skill based matchmaking is to simply have a casual and a competative mode. Casual is totally randomized and has lower rewards, competative is skill matched with a bit higher rewards. This gives players the option of which type of game they want to play.

What about a delay before firing after an auto aim lock? The delay being the time your fire control system takes to range and calculate trajectories. Delay could be reduced via: ship nation, commander skills and mods.

One issue I see is the game is overly monetized to its own detriment. More effort is put into selling half naked underage animals girls than improving the game. Monetization is fine, nessisary, but when it becomes a bigger focus than the actual game that's a problem.

Good video response 👍 Better AI combined with some Coop modes would be a sweet addition. Would definitely help with new players and help build confidence and game mechanics. Also, maybe even some fresh game modes that could be trialed / tested before thrown into standard matches. CTF or defend the base. For what it’s worth 😁

You should make a intermediate/advanced guide for people returning or trying to get better in higher teirs. Highlighting positioning for starters!

at a minimum the spawns need staggered battleships in then back destroyers in front cruisers. this will help set up the potatoes where they need to be. and give time at the start of the match for players to get to position before the first engagement

Coming from basically a player like me who has about 6 or 7 commanders that are level 7 and i can say this but commanders getting them maxed is such a pain I have all type of busted commanders and and f2p commanders. But I can’t level them up until basically weeks to a month and half later. Also I can say this with confidence this game is a pain when you don’t have maxed out commanders or leveled up Inspiration’s it really is. But yet I still get really good games despite most of my cruisers commanders being level 7 and 2 of my bb commanders level 7. And premium yeah that is a whole shit show you barely get any money or exp if you don’t got premium. I left this game in the past because I did not have any premium because of how little bit of money you make even when you do amazing. Also someone pointed out getting a commander reset that would be amazing if we do get it especially for some of the more useless commanders in this game that we level up because of the Burea projects. Spartan your points are really solid and the exp and economy at the end of your last Alaska game just points out how bad it is 130k only 375k currency which almost half of that went down the gutter on service cost 😂.

You mentioned other videos,I will only be watching your videos, congrats 👏 on what you do,like I have said before I just love how you Broadcast in your streams, especially when you get fired up your a legend

Thank you for explaining wargaming short staff I will start to give them the benefit of the doubt. Great video

I still remember the video you did about your childhood. Where you talked about being young and school and all that stuff. I remember the one where you talked a lot of your life. Over the years and those of us who have followed along with you have been part of that

I agree with the economy, it takes so long to progress to higher tiers, but I'm a bit of a potato, but hopefully better than I was when I first started. I haven't unlocked even the Iowa yet, my battleship progress has halted at Nevada and New Mexico.

CONGRATS ON 50K 🎉🎉🎉

Rofl stomps are never going to stop. When i see my teamate in a Gascogne turn and drive from A all the way PAST C, and i am spamming him to get back...well, he gets a "NICE WORK" when he dies doing nothing to help the team.

Spartan seems to be the voice of the voiceless and lets hope wargaming responds to the voice of the voiceless

The shot dispersion blows hardcore and i have absolutely no luck with actually contributing in standard with a battleship without dying, doesnt help that my teammates are always dogshit cuz they never go for obj and they never help out

"I am not a potato...I am a free man!!" (congrats on 50k, Nerd!)

I'd like to see more ships in the game per team. Increase the amount of damage you can deal. Would lead, hopefully, to longer games. The best games are when its 3 vs 6 of them and you're on fire and refusing to lose 😀 auto aim could do with a slight reduction but it helps you over time to learn how to aim. As does missing completely.

Excellent job on getting 50000 subscribers Spartan!!!

What about PT/Patrol boats? Limited to certain maps. Coastal defenses, AI controlled?

You're so right, definitely not friendly for new players. I got a couple friends that I'd love to have play this game with me but I won't recommend it because I don't want to play tears 1 through 4 with them while they spend weeks there on one line. And then to have to buy something in the store the prices are fairly high, I realize it's a free game but jeso petes.

I think all the suggestions have merit...like the industry I work in the world is never perfect....have realistic expectations...its a game...a good game..people will rant and rage no matter what is done...I'm average but know how to angle not rush in...do all the things CCs tell you not to do...well sometimes your team rocks! Sometimes it sucks...just play and enjoy...we need new players to keep this game online...be patient as so many say it takes time..well give people time...if you are not patient...boo hoo...

Honestly, i agree with everything in this video. I still remember the day when it was just me, a naked Pensacola and dewy against the world. Also, i would love to see ocean added to the main rotation of maps. Great video as always

Speaking of opening three minutes, first match of the morning. Not one loss on my team while the enemy was crushed in Epicenter, the next match? Exact opposite, 4 Teammates destroyed in 4 minutes and it was practically over. Rarely is it ever a close tie game anymore just an absolute slaughter one way or another

Honestly, I'm pretty over the rinse and repeat 9v9 Death Match thing. That and the same shit, different ship aspect of all these Mid Campaign ships we've been getting, just makes it hard to care anymore. At this point, I just wish they'd give us some PvE Operations to do like what PC has. At least that would be something new.

Anyone else feel like the epic mods are an issue? I've been playing since 2020 and still don't have enough steel to implement one. You really have to seek steel earnings out in special events. None of the youtubers/streamers seem to complain about this feature that widens the gulf between great and average players, but just complain about weak players. This needs to be eliminated or made easier to obtain for all. I firmly believe skill based matchmaking can and should be done. Not so that only similar level players are in the game, but to make sure there are a similar number of terrible players on each team. e.g. 3 players lower than 50% win percentage on each team.

Good vid my dude. (I think its more like 50k) youve talked about many important items. Noone is going to talk about the real problem so lets talk COMPENSATION to try to even it out. Skill based wouldnt work. Hive was right about it being more difficult if auto was removed, and i think that would be good for the game. Bring more new players in? Maybe not. Improve the game? Yes. So we all know which way that will go.....stop giving out access to top tier ships to someone that just started......just start there.

They could make a skill based matchmaking game mode and if it turns out bad then they can just abandon it

How about this suggestion. Minus with aim assist on the more experienced a player becomes? Beginners at beginner tier should have the full advantage versus the experienced players and to keep their interest in the game enough to stay and develop because we all need more players in the game!!!

I'm sorry Spartan but I must disagree with you on the skill based match-making argument. Because it's the same argument I've heard time and time again. There's this idea that the above average and above players SHOULD have games where they are able to relax and have a non sweaty match. Here's the problem. That relaxation comes at the expense of people woefully unprepared to face the wrath of these better players. ALSO non skill based match-making leads to complaints that people can't get good teams or have good games cause too many noobs are gunking up the match making. So which is it? Do you hate potatoes and want proper matches with a good back and forth? Cause if so then you need good skill based match-making. But if you want to just load up a game and stomp some noobs then you can't complain when the game ends in 5 minutes or you go on a losing streak because your team has more stompable noobs than the other team. This is 100% a case of trying to have cake and eat it to. The ONLY people I ever hear complain about skill based match-making are people good enough at the game that they get annoyed that they have to play at a high level of competition at all times. Even YOU mentioned that you wouldn't want to play with people at your level because you'd have to go full sweat mode but you also seem to want the people in your games to be able to rub two brain cells together. I strongly agree that skill based match-making would be a massive fix to the game because low level players would be able to learn the game at their own pace without worry of being deleted by someone with a 65% win rate and those 65% win rate players would be able to have the pulse pounding, back and forth games they seems to cry out for all the time.

Hey Spartan just a heads up that if I see you sailing the Vermont for the red team that I’ll be doing some serious island camping 😆

Fixing spawns is probably the best first step wargaming can make

I think commander upgrades need to be a lot cheaper. I've played nearly 5000 games, and im still struggling to upgrade my commanders. This is my biggest issue. When i was just starting it could be rough playing some battleships because i didn't have commanders like cunningham, and I couldn't upgrade him when i needed it. I took me forever to get E. Bey, which is pretty important for concealment.

GZ for 50k subscription. You deserve it. I am a Long time subscriber. let's go for 60k. 🍀👍❤️

Finally Someone Gets It!

I haven’t played since early September and my life has never been better

Moving the Spawn back will just be perfect for the BB border huggers

Básicamente es un juego Pay To Win, si tienes premium ganas mas dinero y puedes usar todos los barcos de nivel 6 o 7 en adelante porque ya sabes que tienes premium y estás seguro que no vas a perder nada de dinero, con lo que cuesta los servicios de los barcos legendarios o de nivel 7 u 8 (son una locura). sin premium no ganas nada te quitan el doble, tienes que hacer unos 400k de daño para que lo mínimo te de 50k u máximo 90k de créditos, es una locura..😢. Yo soy uno de ellos, no juego ni a los barcos que desbloquee y usar las mejoras que son también carísimas. Saludos.

I play on PC but been wanting to try Legends, any advice for a new player who absolutely loves games like these, world of warships, world of tanks blitz and so forth

To be real I have been watching you for 3 to 4 months but you have teached me a lot for wowl and I agree all the things that you sed are real I have being grinding German battleships and risently I had to sell a kidney for the Bismark

I feel like I’m watching a school speech and debate project hash out

This game is not complicated . KZfaq has a tutorial on everything . U learn maps movement armor and tactics and angles. After that u learn patience and positioning. I will admit I struggle with being patient but I got about 13k battles and I still try to learn to get better evryday. It's very hard to predict bad players because they do things undont expect. U expect what good players do.but predicting bad players are difficult I agree with u spartan. The grinding gets old in thr game and most of thr time I just use gxp now because I played all the ships and lines .I'm above average. I been with the game for 3.75 Years .I found the game after spartan showed the beta

I'll tell you what spartan I have close to 3k of games in tier 5 I have made most of my money there and out of my 7900 battles in standard 3k of them is tier 5 everything else is above that I had fun at tier 5 and when I was ready i stepped on tier 7 and after 6 months I tried legendary daily in standard I managed to get resources over the years and I can now do pretty much whatever I want I got Missouri for 30k without boosting any campaigns and by just getting the admiralty banking the currency system is as it is and I've managed to get through and I am not the best of the best my advice is to get yourself a tier 5 moneymaker and start racking up the money for your first year an a half my moneymaker was Cali 2100 battles on only her with 4300 hours on the game

At the end of the day WG said: meh, not happening, keep it up the good work ! LOL

I love the game always have but my biggest problem is 90% of the time the teams are not balanced it's the reason I don't play it as much as I used to

Personally, I prefer the longer matches. I haaaate those matches that are over within a blink of an eye.. I like those ones that takes long enough where the teams can move around and strategizes, etc....

Between teammates leaving there team on one cap all alone. The 5 destroyers games leaving a sea i torpedos and players going right through the middle of the map and you obliterate them, then they messaging you saying your trash is getting quiet annoying.

50k subscribers 🔥🔥

What does the RGA mean and do for you if you use the module ?

Spartan I love your videos and keep up the good work.

Why does everyone on your team go to one side of the map now? I've been noticing that all of my teammates except maybe one or two will go to one side of the map and leave me and another teammate 2 secure one side of the map by ourself

After your last video. I liked at my matches and 10 straight games went quicker than 8 minutes, shortest was 5:20.. what happened to matches going full distance?

There it is...50k....gz from germany. Top job👏👌🇺🇲🇩🇪

LOL PC has 29KLM fire range BBs plus spotter plane LOL So we need those 30 klm, the bad thing with that, is that many BBs players choose to stay 30 KLm from the caps LOL

Where would the best place be to leave feedback for war gaming to see

For me i just want those search lights that pc gas when using secondary boosters pc just has a lot of cool stuff that i want but i like Legends more

I understand what rga does, but what is it the full name for it?

I did comment on that I think I said the biggest problem for me is the teammates

So I played on my brother's new account, and the auto aim sucked. I would really have to adjust my shots. I'm assuming our auto aim gets better as our Comanders get better. Just food for thought

Thanks for the video Spartan! (Idk what else to write lmao)

I dont care about Commanders,or premium time, and I do well on PC

At first looking at the title, i thought WG was responding lol.

Is it just me or does the entire video has no sound at all?

to those people I said GFU LOL well said Spartan!

Yeah ah the only thing that's consistent in this game for almost 5 years is the fact that there are some problems in the game and wargaming will never fix them and imo its not being shorthanded they haven't been shorthanded for 5 years and yet we still have all the same problems. I still play the game like everyone else I have over 22.300 battles it is what it is

Im decent with DD everything else im trash i hate a couple of tier 7,1 8 and 2 legendary ohio and Brisbane but im nit confident im my skill enough too use them in standard mode i stay at tier 4 and 5

No!!!!!! I knew it I just knew you was gonna post this because this is literally the first time I ran into ever in years lol (I don't stream snipe you) I know what you deal with buddy.... I'm the Brisbane I'm literally only there for two fires to finish the mission in a naked brisbane lol 😂

Legends version of its commander is super weak than the main. It makes ships not fun and makes ppl leave legends all together.

There is absolutely NO CHANCE WOWL has 150k playerbase..... It's a niche game at best..... 150k would make it kinda juggernaut in the gaming space. WOWL probably has more like a 20k monthly players

There has been one or two toxic c c's on the game That just spend every stream bashing the game bashing. The company bashing the players and talking about how great they are. And nobody likes to watch that, but then you have the choice to not watch that. And if you don't like someone, don't watch him and stop complaining.

Yeah you're damm right, i played cod for ten years, but sbmm ruined the game totally, that's why dont play cod anymore and playing legends instedt

I do agree that the economy is terrible

Most KZfaqrs don't want skill based as they won't have any Videos to make showing them kicking players butts LOL!!!
