I think you kinda miss the point with review bombing. Yes, it hurts the game, that's kinda the point? When Gaijin announces changes to completely fuck the economy and are deaf to feedback, the players can only threaten what gaijin cares about - the money, make the revenue loss from negative reviews outweigh the revenue loss from an economy that doesn't force you to pay to progress at a decent pace.

I completely understand the point of review bombing. The goal is to create backlash so the game has to respond to it, but like I said in the video the problem at that time for warthunder is you had marketing people who’s job is to create schemes to make more profit in the game. Which was to adjust the economy to make more people want/need premiums and premium time etc. Like with all situations in the past for warthunder where they decided to do something really stupid like try to introduce paid consumables the community was like woah wtf you doing gaijin and they did not add them to the game.

@@DawgIVLife The big thing that you missed was that the Chinese heavily participated in the boycott and reviewbomb. It's their way of showing displeasure towards something and they are way more organized than we are. They are also a very large group that is more than willing to spend money on games. Gaijin had to do something because these dudes will very much leave if they feel like the devs aren't doing their part. The boycott very much did something to the game and truth be told while I'm not 100% satisfied with the changes, they did do something to make the game a bit more rewarding which is in stark contrast to what would've happened if people just complained and did nothing.

Or the death threats, but then made the judgment call those types of people do not deserve to be remembered. It’s a video game at the end of the day, but I am assuming more CCs will be making a similar type video I really hope someone does like a timeline of events where it’s more of a historical viewing of the boycott instead of a recollection like this video is.

@@DawgIVLife I'll be completely honest and say that I didn't really watch the video (or listened in full) but I believe that the review bombing worked simply because it made the marketing team/gaijin realize that we won't take shit like this (unlike WoT players). It also worked because it made the devs work hard and fast on the QoL stuff, balancing (even tho it is quite iffy and still has ways to go) and being more open about what they plan to add (roadmap). I am not even going to talk about the War thunder union - that thing was a joke with TEC being on top - always crying about stuff that could all be summarized to a simple skill/brain issue. People who still say that this has "something-bias" is stupid for the simple reason of - if the other player is stupid he will die anyway/if you are better you win.

Review bombing, aka making Gaijin lose money is the only way to force them to change. When new players see those reviews and give the game a pass Gaijin dosent get $$$$$

I am sorry to say that I completely disagree with your view of the Review Bombing. It makes no sense. Of course you are a War Thunder CC so you most likely need to remain polite about Gaijin or maybe you trully believe that they did very little wrong. But saying that review bombing is hurting the game without even adressing the reason why people would review bomb or even just leave the game in general is weird. You did not give any numbers, you did not give an ETA for grinding one part of a Techtree. For the average player it would cost them 9,427,300 rp (give or take) to unlock every single GROUND United States vehicle. Earning on average 2000rp (no premium) at top tier, that would take roughly 4,713 matches. If we have an average of 12 minutes per match that would equal 56,561 minutes (942 hrs) needed. So roughly 39 days of non stop , continuous play. That is not possible for the average player to ever reach the end of top tier within their first year (Unless they have a month of non stop play). This is ridiculous and only for ground US tree. Imagine that for all the other trees. You may think that it is all right or maybe new players should just buy top tier premiums, but that isn't fixing the problem. If losing some "potential" players is what is needed to get Gaijin to lower costs or to update research modifiers, then I'll gladly do it again. Also note that War Thunder won't die until a better alternative for players comes along. Since 2013, there has been none, so there is no way that the review bomb would have ever caused the game to fail and shut down. As you pointed out yourself. Even the Union was playing because Gaijin holds the monopoly and those people still needed to grind out the event.

I don’t own every vehicle in the game, but I also do understand that my experience with the game is unlike majority of the players because I can request permanent vehicles or test drives to get vehicles spaded for free. To be completely transparent I use most of my CC budget each month and update to collect the premiums so it’s easier to do videos, but for the most part I do like to spade vehicles legitimately. Gives me some sort of goal to go after. Like in this video the gameplay of the rochev (m109) and the Su-100 for china was me finishing off those vehicles the last couple of days. I know this will sound weird but thinking about how I am still able to have something to do after playing the game for 10 years to me is pretty cool, but also if your goal is just to reach top tier as fast as possible I just feel like you will burn your self out quickly.

However, as I have stated in my new comment, if new people are leaving it isn't because bad reviews, its all down to the grind. 39 days in total to unlock almost all the US ground tree is insane! US air would be 43 days and you can times that by 9 because there are 9 techtrees in the game (Give or take as not all trees have the same amount of vehicles). I understand that you as a CC is always looking for endgame, but this shouldn't come at the expense of the majority who cannot do what you do. I have been tryharding since april as I have recently become unemployed, but as soon as my employment restarts I will be unable to plow through all 9 trees to get to a completion point. My understanding is that Gaijin has already done wrong and there is no way for them to back up. The game is stale and only new vehicles is what brings in new players. If the review bomb was dissuasive, then at least gaijin needs to own up.

I've never spent more time or money on a game than WarThunder. Literally play this fkn game every day for the last 17 months since I first installed it.

I just had a 5 kill game plus an assist but only got 38k SL that would have been lile 120k SL four years ago...

For the most part the actual dedication to the boycott was a joke like you said. However, it did cause a lot of positive changes. The repair cost change is the biggest deal of it all since I had actually stopped playing the game prior to the boycott for that reason. 8k SL repair for the IS-2 was very nuts compared to how much a kill gave you. (Yes, it was partially a skill issue, but I was new.) Afterwards the Skill Bonus they added is a great help and has allowed me to speed though the first half of the American Tech Tree. Now I think the Economy (RP and SL) is in a great place. At this point I just wished they would work on improving the issues of volumetrics, general balancing, and round damage consistency. On top of that, they need to find ways to better counter spawn camping. I remember a fellow WT CC (Dollar) recommending an area where you could click anywhere in that area to spawn. Which would make pinning down spawns harder. For the overwhelming parts of the game, a simple introduction/tutorial should pop up when you buy a vehicle with radar or any fancy mechanics. Lastly, the average player wouldn't care about anything I just wrote. All they care about is that the game is still fun to play. For those of us who do care and wish for a better experience, Gaijin hosts polls on the forums and conducts surveys. The forums are a great place to suggest ideas as well.

The roadmap came out and everyone found that as evidence for them actually *caring* and planning out what was essentially a game in content freefall. The discord server was really just a public server and nothing more. Thats not really representative of the actual effect the community had.

Tbh the economy still needs a rework. Yeah it was better than what it was, but it still needs help. Like even if you play the game completely free and with no money spending at all it’s almost impossible to progress. Like people who don’t live on this game and play maybe 3hrs a day are suffering. People shouldn’t have to be forced to rely on paid progression for a free to play game. I personally am not a completely free to play player I spend money every so often on sales, battle passes, etc. but I can only imagine how they must feel. RP and SL still needs improvements for someone who spends money on the game it should feel like your getting your moneys worth. As a premium player it’s ridiculous when a really good game comes around and drop 7-8kills in a game and only getting 13k rp in return is sad. I think if they implemented 2x RP and SL events like weekends or maybe even nation specific events to get more players to try other tech trees, plus I think this would be very good for the player base. Having more opportunities for the economy to be health will greatly boost the games performance and will make people want to play more other and feel like they are getting something in return.

Nothing changed the boycott did not even work. When the War Thunder Player Union staff organizes a boycott to not be on the game on a certain day and they are ALL on the game on the day of the boycott then it just shows that there was never any serious intent. The community in my opinion are in a state of Stockholm syndrome and an abusive relationship they will literally take any form of abuse from Gaijin and any horrible change and just accept it and continue playing. We all know if there was a better game we would all quit War Thunder but don't expect the game to ever change for the better when every update makes the game significantly worse.

This is what we should call "The First Gamer War" or the "First Gaijin War", and we win

You’re entirely wrong about steam review bombs. It’s literally the only real way players have to voice their complaints.

Yea we know how free to play games work they need a revolving door of players joining and leaving, but the problem was rewards where poor, and that was not addressed till 3 dev blog in.

Big L take on the review bomb. It made Gaijin decide to do roadmaps, improve repair cost and not ruin premium rewards and more. But the improvements to the game itself is still very lacking. Many half assed mechanics and encredibly inconsistent damage model. Atleast people are starting to bend less and fight back.

Economy issues: kind of fixed Balancing: still not good for some vehicles Volumetric and networking: still awful CAS in GRB: still horrible Bushes: still horrible

I dont play in WT almoust half year. After that rage i just don't want play in game. 2weaks transfer in some months.

So what you mean is that most of the ppl watching your videos are hardcore/ tryhard warthunder player 😅? (I mean, it's my case but eh)

While i disagree with review bombing, they weren’t listening to their community and people got fed up. In my opinion, the game post-roadmap has been significantly more enjoyable, both the gameplay and the grind/quality of life. Before the economy changes I could never afford to get new vehicles and was only making 5-10k sl on a good game. I am now getting up to 20-50k on average matches. Say what you want but the backlash woke up the devs and has made the game much better.

Yet cas spawn costs is cheaper then ever

Who remembers the economy vote they did like 2 years ago? no one? It was like one of those votes where every option sucked. Of course the community had to pick an increase in loss multiplier but reduction in win multiplier. (which still worked out to overall less silver) Overall the community is a massive joke to me.

but the reviews were bad for a reason. If somebody new to war thunder would see it on steam and see all the negative reviews they wouldn't play it and that's a good thing. Because at the time war thunder was awful game because of horrible developers who didn't care about the community

One year later, back to what you was doing and the game is still shit.

The players did gaijin a favor with the review bombing Tarkov and Enlisted are excellent examples of games being undermined by greed The bombing stopped gaijin from going that all out self destructive path for the moment and more "damage" like that will be necessary for the health of the game I'm the future In a world where greed didn't control Gaijin, "damage" like that wouldn't be necessary but that world doesn't exist so we'll ill have to tell the snail to shove it every now and then I don't understand how u can't see that even though u bring up tarkov...

The reason I see the tarkov problem is that EOD edition of the game clearly stated you will get all DLCs. Nikita decided to call PVE a feature to get around the DLC argument. In general greed is bad but in warthunder case it was just being stupid. Tarkov was actually breaking consumer laws. But on a side note it’s really sad what enlisted became.

There's no controlling the player base of such a large game Even though gaijin hasn't implemented changes that I want ( ex: making premium time an even better value), it's still a net win bc WT can easily go down the Enlisted path and, for example, they did make premium time a slightly better value and I've been surprised by how they at least value our feedback especially through voting When play base anger rises the next time, dumb or not, all we can do is try to direct in whatever each of us think is a positive direction and pray

Gaijij. Still doesnt respcet playerbase lol

so dont complain it will kill the game??? eat shit or it die??? well a bad game should die. a company with bad value should not get promoted.. if war thunder moves towards a bad place it should die. should we eat shit because shit is the only thing on the menu ?? I understand you like the base off a game and think if they do better maybe my game will not die. But if they dont move in a good way if the game loses more and more off what you like about the game. Should you support it just because it has potential to be good ???? No you find ways to at list try do force it to go away from its bad practice, let them know they are killing the game by what they are doing. And if the dont listen sry but then it dont mater if the game die´s today or tomorrow because it is gone do just that.

Mate, I agree with you. Unfortunately, your advice and opinions have fallen on deaf ears. Have you ever seen the level of incompetence displayed by the average war thunder player? Have you seen how much the war thunder reddit is full of complaints? Most players are not good. Most players go 1/3, 1/4, 0/3 in games. Most players don't even use the map or apply any sort of strategy while playing- I've literally today seen a guy rush a cap point and j out right after capping it to spawn a FIGHTER. A BOMBLESS FIGHTER, in the first minute of the game. He flew aimlessly for 7 minutes before actually doing anything useful. You have people spawning 3-4 planes while having no cap points and being pushed into their spawn. They will never learn. It's barely a skill issue, it's an IQ issue. They certainly have never played a game that posess a truly horrid matchmaking/progression system such as League of Legends for example. War thunder is amazing by comparison, you get points even when losing, and you are compensated for your efforts and you are not held back by your team as much as other PvP, team-based F2P games. The changes are amazing, I unlock vehicles easily, silver lions are abundant. I was doing great even before buying premium, I am now doing amazing. For those of us that work, we buy premium to compensate having less time, while most of these kids should have lots of time to grind stuff. You people are playing for free, please understand your time is your currency, if you can't spend dollars. Anyways, good video.

These p2w bushes on tanks are so funny 😅 are they expensive?

Nice try Gaijin employee
