Input on the game.

Constructive Criticism
I recently decided to play WT again after a long time away from it, and based on playing for a nice sum of hours I decided to give my feedback.

Overall I'm a bit disappointed, I've noticed the game has become less reliant on skills to win, and more on how much you spend on it.. I'm not saying "screw AP users", they can get AP if they want to, but, up until before Aeria took WT, it was never a problem. I found that it was absurdly difficult to play against someone with a cash character and cash wolf. As far as balance is concerned, I feel it could be a lot better. It feels as though non-paying players are being punished. AP Weapons I don't find a problem with, it's the AP Characters and Wolves and some of their bonuses that feel overpowered. Damage boosts, someone with that boost is incredibly hard to kill 1v1, there is really no point in even trying, since it takes them half as much shots to kill you compared to you killing them, you'd have to be insanely skilled at the game to beat them, and the "newby channel" isn't much help, since you can only go into for the first few levels. New players to the game obviously have no chance of winning against someone like that, and it would feel overwhelming to play the game, which in cases could lead to them quitting.

In a nutshell, I have no problem with AP items, I just find the bonuses that AP Characters and Wolves get are a bit overpowered and makes the game "newby punishing" and makes the game less about skills, and more about getting the bonuses that come with AP items.

Suggestion: Make channels according to k/d ratio, 0.00-0.50, 0.51-1.00 and so on, I think it would make the game more friendly to newer players, since the "newby channel" doesn't really help much.

Anyways, thats all I have time for, gotta go to my friends wedding.

Well You Have a Point and you are not the First and probably not the last one to say that..
But besides opening new topics and comment on existing ones there's nothing we can do..

Well constructed critic, I actually like reading this type of feedback, it's constructive, not just someone raging at AP, or being mad at not being able to kill a character wolf. What you said about the current game is true, in my opinion, I don't care about the AP items such as Weapons, Power User, GP Plus, etc, I have more problems dealing with a player with Character + Stout than a Regular Character + Estr. The idea of the Kill/Death Ratio based channel is good, although there are skilled players that don't use AP items, and there are AP players that have low kdr's, the was developed the idea about a none-AP Server that would be a great idea, but if Aeria Games would create it they had to make it Pay-2-Play which is completely against the AGE's services (Only Free Play Games).

Yeah, there really is nothing we can do about it, except make Aeria hear us out, and maybe they'll do something about it. Gotta hope.

As a wise old german WT player once told me;
The goal of Wolfteam was always that wolfs are stronger than humans in close combat.
When armor was released, wolfs just got worse and worse.
Now with 3 tattoos, the wolf ability and scratches they're back to what they used to be. Stronger than humans.
Sadly softnyx didn't have an eye for the non-AP players and that is what makes them seem completely overpowered.

Also, what I noticed again today is that softnyx just brainlessly nerfed gold guns. (Auz, Xem8 fanas PT and even EF-2000 WT).
Their accuracy these days is just horrible and it sometimes takes me 5 bullets to actually headshot someone. CLOSE RANGE. (Bootcamp game on an alt account)

Hey,

Your feedback is well put together and i agree with it! It's too bad though because this is a free to play game and the use of currency in this game has been pushed to such an extreme level where looking back is a vague option.

Those things were said a long time ago, I was among those who were contrary to the way WT was taking, but our arguments were in vain. They didn't listen then, when all this started, I don't see why they'd listen now.
