World of Warships Interview with Sub Octavian - Balance, Power Creep and Premiums

Описание: We've got a special video today. Wargaming's Sub_Octavian chatted with me about a wide variety of topics regarding World of Warships and I think you all will want to hear what he has to say.

The following is a list of the questions asked:

In your opinion, do you think Power Creep exists right now?

It seems like new lines that are coming out are either more powerful or have more features than previous lines. Do you feel this way?

How do you keep older lines like the USN and IJN relevant?

How do you balance a ship line?

What do you feel makes a ship line balanced?

How do you determine if a ship is overpowered?

How about Premium ships? Do you like where premium ships are at right now power-wise?

What is Wargaming’s stance on Premium ships. Should they be more powerful, less powerful or equal in power to other ships in their tier?

What is your favorite premium ship?

Are there any plans to change match making? It seems like tiers 5 and 6 got hit really hard.

Let’s talk a little about gameplay right now. Some players still feel that Standard Battle is not conducive to exciting battles and promotes bland play style. Are there any plans to remove it or make it more exciting?

Are there going to be more game modes in the near future? Can you discuss what they might be?

Many players enjoyed team play. Is there a chance it might come back? It feels like Wargaming has abandoned what was a fun game mode.

Can you give us a little more idea about the future implementation of clans and how that might work?

Are you happy with the way the dynamic music works? I kind of miss the regular music we used to have.

Let’s talk a little about the future of World of Warships. What has you really excited right now?

Can you talk a little about the collaboration with High School Fleet?
What ship lines are you looking forward to seeing?

Are there any new visual improvements coming soon? I know you all were working on enhanced gunfire effects. Are those still coming?

One highlight Sub_Octavian touched on is that power creep is indeed happening in his in opinion, but it's a natural thing and they are working to ensure older ship lines stay relevant.

Anyhow, thanks for watching. Please be sure to leave comments and let me know what you think. Enjoy!

And special thanks to Sub_Octavian for being a good sport.
