Current View towards WoWS and my Videos
🕑 Added 2022-09-04 12:40:00 +0000 UTCHello fellow patrons,
I wanna share something I've been wanting said for all these time (how cliche) that I've been bottling up in my personal cope jar, while still hoping I don't need to fill it anymore. But I don't think its gonna stop and before that jar capacity becomes infinite I'd like to say this:
World of Warships is getting more difficult and complex to make contents out of.
I came to this conclusion after noticing I've been having a hard time gathering clips I need for my videos.
The issue being: I played this game for so long, I have seen everything, memorized most of the ships, known most of the gimmicks, and almost always know the outcome of various scenarios.
Because of it, my brain now subconsciously corrects every move I made to play the game as optimally as possible.
Daring plays (which looks awesome in videos) rarely rewards good outcome anymore, only bigger punishment, because the variables are increasing on every updates. (Read: Gimmicks, counters, and ever stricter meta) The wiggle room for gameplay variety is getting choked harder than ever.
In the end I often come empty handed after some games, because:
- Playing ships to its strengths does not give me footages.
- Playing ships to the meta does not give me footages.
- Playing ships outside of its meta does not give footages.
Admittedly, it irritates me.
I think most of you already know why I took ages to get a video out. Unfortunately that may become even more sporadic now, as I:
- Kept trying different stuff to see what clicks and what works, while also,
- Working around all the gimmicks in game, while also also,
- Not wanting to fall into the trap of "boring ship/gameplay"
(See Stalingrad video and how people respond its a boring ship - despite the fact that it was choosen by community poll. Such is life.)
Its a rigorous and contradictive process, yet I still do it, because I know its something that will be fun to edit and watch.
That's why I pursue things that doesn't make sense, takes way too much RNG to pull off, and most importantly, takes time to procure...
...in hoping that the end result will be an exciting one.

I'm currently making a follow up to Grossdeutschland video. One of my most successful upload and an entry people loved so much.
The meta of the game no longer accommodates those kind of ships. Proliferation of CV, Subs, Superships, people knowing that these ships are inherently weak and just another handicap for the team makes them some of the hardest examples to make contents off, especially my kind of contents.
But I'll be fighting with my best to make it works. No matter how much games it took, no matter how sweaty I become. When its done, I believe it will be worth it.
I know people have been asking me to switch given how much frustration I had with WoWS, but unfortunately, I'm no longer interested in games in general, too burned out for that. Adulthood, and real life circumstances has been asking me to pursue better, more useful things than just games, and I've had many opportunities to help me grow bigger.
...but I still make WoWS videos because its one of the last thing I truly enjoy.

So to close off this post, all I want is for you to respect my decision, and understand the circumstances I've been dealing. Opening up this way have helped me relieve some pressure, and may give better luck in game.
Stay tune to the next upload ))
