In terms of "What does 43% of the playerbase mean?" or in terms of the size of the survey? Surveys rarely are able to connect with every individual, so there are methods in how to get a representative sample which aims to reflect the whole. Polling/Survey work is a specific field so I have to differ to those with the ability to do that work.
Change in any form will always meet resistance. This is a known in an industry that requires change to stay alive.
Some will look at the above and see the 43% opposed as being ignored or unvalued, but that isn't the case. The product has to maintain viability and the majority are not opposed to the addition of the new ship type.
I don't have that number offhand, but even if much of the playerbase fell into the 0 Battles section, that section still has only 43% resistance to the addition of Subs. Our data does not see the majority as being against Subs.
It's from Survey data, yes. The sample size is enough to be considered a representative sample, so it can be extrapolated to the playerbase.
No, 100% of the people in the "0 Battles" category didn't actively play a Submarine in Update 0.11.8. Of that population, only 43% were against adding them to the game.
Players can still interact with subs and form opinions without playing a Submarine.
It's taken from Survey data. The size of respondents on the survey was enough to be used as a representative sample.
We examined the survey response in terms of battles played in a Submarine during 0.11.8.
The categories looked up were:
0 Battles in Submarines during 0.11.8
1-5 Battles in Submarines during 0.11.8
6-25 Battles in Submarines during 0.11.8
For those that fit into those categories, we provided the amounts there were against adding Submarines to the game. The group with the highest resistance to Submarines being added was the group that did not play them at all. As play went up, the resistance to Submarines being added reduced sharply. It could be assumed that someone playing a Submarine actively would want it to exist, but only 1-5 Battles is a small amount but still sees a very large difference in terms of negative sentiment.
Even in the 6-25 Battles Category, there is a percentage of people that were against the addition of subs. If you played in that bracket, your opinion would be listed there.
The data presented is from 0.11.8, but there have been similar surveys done on prior updates. The results were similar.
This is not correct. The segments are split amongst survey respondents.
Among players with 0 battles played, there was 43% opinion against adding Submarines to our game. The negative opinion dropped sharply with as little as 1-5 battles played as those players had a 23% opinion against adding Submarines. It dropped even lower amongst those who'd played 6-25 battles with only 11%.
Familiarity with the class through direct play experience had a powerful interaction with player perception.

Hello, Captains!
A new DevBlog has been posted here: https://blog.worldofwarships.com/blog/377
Please leave any feedback you have here.
Thank you!
Greetings Captains,
I just wanted to let you know that due to me attending TwitchCon with some other World of Warships representatives, there will not be a new entry in the New Player Captain's Log today, 10/11. I haven't had a sufficient amount of time to play the game and thus I won't have much to share.
However, I did want to create a thread just in case any other new players (or experienced players, for that matter) wanted a space to be able to discuss their weekly experiences, ask questions or just have some lighthearted discussions!
Can't wait to be back with y'all next week! Until then, fair winds and following seas!
This essentially hits the nail on the head. Additionally, in the hypothetical world where everyone gets to select what they play against, you end up with a fragmented playerbase and the matchmaking queue times become horrendous.

You mean "Modstation"? Folks have reported uninstalling it and reinstalling has fixed their issues.
Our Dev Team is aware of your California-based requests.
Our Combat Missions are aimed toward an expected amount of engagement. While Expendable Bonuses and Premium Time can be used to complete resource-based combat missions faster then others, the targeted level of engagement still remains.
In the end, our events and offerings are around playing our game. Premium Time makes each game played more lucrative~
Balancing requests are a very different animal than posting a kind Thank You in a company-wide area for people to see and have a smile.
Base XP is not affected, no. The OP is arguing that is should be affected for purposes of combat missions.
The pass has been made!~
