OUe_mistake_not, on 17 July 2019 - 08:20 AM, said:   Why do you keep ignoring the disparity between a purple WN8 and a exceptionally low WR?  You keep admitting that a high WN8 should correspond with a high WR but fail to address the disparity.  Clearly you are not going to admit that your MM is broken and that players are purposefully put on losing streaks, but you can't even come up with a good excuse for it!  


4nt, on 17 July 2019 - 09:02 AM, said: One can get purple wn8 and low WR easily from causality standpoint, but it does require skill in itself: it isn't really for someone who wouldn't get deep blue-light purple even without. The tactic requires understanding of how much a single player can effect the events leading to victory or loss.

Take a support tank, perferably TD (can also be done in few lights with good guns), play redline damage farming. Done. A player who dedicates one's performance for late game damage farming will, with enough aptitude in tanks he plays, get very high wn8s and low WR due to fact that one makes damage far too late to swing the battle.

psychobear, on 16 July 2019 - 10:34 PM, said:   Of course people have a short memory for all the changes that have taken place and only think about the ones that haven't. In this particular case it's only natural and there's a reason for it. It's becouse the changes that have taken place were either wrong ones or irrelevant ones. Or both. You guys keep fixing things that don't need fixing and making changes that nobody asked for, while completely ignoring the real problems which the playerbase have been pointing out to you all along. and then you act surprised that people don't appreciate the changes you make. This is just so rich that it would be funny if it wasn't so stupid. And yes, i know that game balancing on the scale of WoT is not an easy or fast task to perform, but that's under no circumstances an excuse for delaying it for years, while wasting resources on irrelevant things. 


gav00, on 16 July 2019 - 10:43 PM, said:   Did I claim that rigging was happening? No. I questioned whether the EU community guy has anything to do with the backend. Despite him saying that he does, i sincerely doubt it and he should not be making claims of which he does not have first-hand experience. The community team are the same people responsible for claiming how awesome British lights would be after all, they clearly have no connection to those who write the code. 22:47 Added after 3 minutes   You have literally not played this game, have you? Do you really think that all vehicles can pen each other reliably, and that all weakspots are easy to hit when fully aimed? 


Homer_J, on 17 July 2019 - 01:48 AM, said:   Same here and I really don't understand the mentality of people who are not having fun in randoms, not having fun in FL, not having fun in ranked yet will bang on trying to complete missions or whatever to get pixel tanks which they can only use in the same modes they don't have fun in.  It defies logic. And the "I've invested time/money into the game" line I see so often.  No you didn't you spent your free time and some disposable income on entertainment.  It's no different to a Netflix subscription.   I don't like some of the upcoming changes, will the result be a game breaker for me?  Probably not, I'll probably adapt and every so often go on about how the good old days with cross team chat and team damage were so much better but if it does ruin my enjoyment I'll just stop playing.


sabre_ferret, on 17 July 2019 - 06:51 AM, said:   You can't possibily be so dim as to think that someone getting purple stats can get <40% WR without the MM being the cause.  If I ran around team-killing everyone and decapping my own team I shouldn't be able to get that low a win rate.  You are either showing an incredible lack of knowledge or you are being dishonest.

vixu, on 16 July 2019 - 10:24 PM, said: As I've written somewhere, it is translation issue.

Russian words "оборудование" and "снаряжение" do both translate as "equipment" as the first pick. However, first one is more like modules, and second is more like supplies.

Direct translation from Russian site "который займёт один слот в панели снаряжения" is "which will occupy one of the equipment(supplies) panel slot".

Gkirmathal, on 16 July 2019 - 08:35 PM, said:   Good question, why would people pay? In my view people become willing to do purchases, if a game offers them a good enough healthy balance between enjoyment, a.k. positive 'frustration' and negative frustration factors.   Though I do not think premium account, and the perk it offers on progression vs free, gives a complete enough picture.     Yeah I agree with the function of WoT prem account in your example and what it gives. It can definitely increase part of the enjoyment players perceives in their progression through the game. I enjoyed the few free prem days given  and I was inclined to perhaps get some prem time for an ongoing grind.   But due to some of those negative frustration factors I regretfully became reluctant again. A WoT premium account for me does not offset enough some of those negatives factors. That by design cannot be influenced (luckily!) by a player, but does induce frustration in players.   I think that for a lot of players that is a contributing factor why some takes frequent breaks or just leave (invested or not) all together.


sabre_ferret, on 16 July 2019 - 08:46 PM, said:   Yeah, purple stats = repeated errors.  Do you even play the game?


Leroy_Jenkinss, on 16 July 2019 - 09:21 PM, said:   Come on dude back in the LoL when there was still IP system you could buy runes dirt cheap for IP you got really fast.Rune pages was expensive to buy for IP and RP and only advantage they give you was a tiny bit of flexibility when in champ select and i can bet you 95% of playerbase back then was having two rune pages like me and yet even with two rune pages you could still replace the runes anytime you want in your rune pages but not when you was already in the lobby for game.People complain about that and what Riot did, they removed Runes and now we have only mastery that is free and fully unlocked day one. One thing that is also good with LoL is that you can buy any champ with real money anytime and yet Riot are constantly buffing and nerfing those champs without hesitation for game balance and WG cant do the same with premium tanks is beyond my mind but OK.   AT8 and weakspots dude do you play this  game AT8 have only one weak spot frontally on commander hatch that is still 152mm thick that you need to hit in the center to be able to pen rest of tank front is 203mm flat.Im somewhat ok with RNG if RNG is true RNG and not a tool to help those 45% to hit shoots on the move and pen things they aren't suposed to pen. Im sure this game is rigged to pull everyone to that 50%    I remember once a SU 152 pen my jumbo uper plate that was angled so hard that was an autobounce for every round in the game to bait a shot and win the game and yet somehow dude pen about 175 mm effective well angled armor with its 135mm of pen on its AP rounds and no he didn't overmatch anything he just flush hit my uper plate and left me on  like 12 hp and i just stop and look like WHAT how. Surprise Surprise dude was 42% player i wonder how he pen that hmmmmmm. Only thing i'm sure about that i never ever raged in any game before i installed WoT on my comp or break any hardware. Now i can say i break 3 keyboards playing WoT.    


psychobear, on 16 July 2019 - 09:40 PM, said:   MM fixes? Thought you guys have fixed the MM. Are you working on it again? Should we expect a well balanced MM in say a couple of years time? Or more? Tank rebalance? If i remember correctly, you started a big rebalance process when Sandbox was first launched, some years ago. Started with tier 10 and said once that was fixed, you'd move down the tiers and balance everything. In fact, all you've managed to achieve was f*ck up tier 10 balance even more, making the tier virtually unplayable. Then you've stopped and completely forgot about the whole balancing thing. Should we expect the same this time? I definitely think so. Friendly fire removal? That's not needed and won't fix any of the core problems of the game. But hey, "fixing" unnecesary things while completely ignoring the real problems is one of the core traits of your company, so that's that. A whole host of other changes this yet alone? Lots of words for saying nothing, don't you think?   And by the way, when are you going to address the artillery problem?!!!    Sorry for the maybe harsh tone, but you guys should really consider one thing: our patience has limits too, and it seems that more and more of us are just about reaching them, which directly reflects into dropping of player numbers as well as dropping of paying players numbers. If nothing else, that should at least be of concern to you. But it looks like it isn't. Oh well.


TungstenHitman, on 16 July 2019 - 09:46 PM, said: Not too much lately I don't know is it school kids or what but the standard is really bad and teammates are the biggest problem for me at the moment they either follow me or grief. Not only clueless but a sh*tty "this is my spot!" boom! sort of attitude to go with along with pushers and blockers just really a lot lately no wonder they are bringing in a no team damage soon since they must be inundated with tickets and player numbers dropping from bans and I eventually get tilted myself obviously there's only so many battles of that sort of snotty childish clueless guff you can take before you have enough and stop playing for the evening. I hope things settle down again soon.

I'm sure i didn't spend a single cent of League of Legends in 8 years of playing that game and i love that game today same as the first day.But you give me great idea eek i will go from this forum right now log into my League account and go spend some money for skins beacuse that's how online free to play games should be monetized. This game just throws everything through a window that i learned in my 20+ years of gaming.And that is no matter how much you skill have in WoT you can throw that all out of window when there is a RNG there is no consistency in this game.   I got penned 7 times in row by Achilles while i was driving my AT8 at max render distance dude was just spamming APCR from 600m and not  a single bounce while i was just angling my front plate more and more and more to see how much this BS called RNG can crapon someone. Next game me in AT8 against enemy AT8 perfect time to test this RNG BS i bounced 6 times in a row on front plate of AT8 while having same gun and APCR as Achilles from less than 100m. And in that moment i just ALT F4 game   Me the guy who was playing CS 1.6 professionally for 10 years, who pulled insane clutches back in the days, who won countless tournaments is just slap in the face on me and my intelligence to play this game.   I didn't touch this game 3 months and i plan to stay that way.

Luchs_Luthor, on 16 July 2019 - 07:16 PM, said: The real problem is that spending money on the game doesn't address or fix any of the major causes of frustration in the game. No amount of money will fix the unbalanced tanks, tiers, teams and maps. If the developers were trying to cause players frustration they sure as hell succeeded and have perhaps done too well.   It might be a good idea for them focus less on causing players frustration and more on fixing all the problems with the game which seem to be causing more and more players to stop spending money.

I understand that the forum isn't the be and end-all of your WG commitments and thank you and the other WG Staff for the continuous effort you do put in!   I also think, and thank you, for your statement "it made little sense to continue the investment of resources into the game mode for so few people, while they can be diverted elsewhere on other things that you will see coming soon!". But it could have been used in the WG announcement rather than just telling us that it would be removed and members should "give each suggestion" (Tournaments/Stronghold/Frontline/Ranked Battles) "a try" instead. Most of the people who do/did play Team Battles have tried and don't want/like to use the other modes. It doesn't/didn't matter there were no progression or goals, we play(ed) them for both fun and 'active' team training against enemies doing exactly the same ('inhouse' team training mode just isn't the same).   If there are in fact "other things that you will see coming soon", great, I wait with bated breath and looking forward to getting to grips with them!!

Or is it just just a design philosophy of many, and in the end a choice how the product is designed and monetized by a publisher?   The statement of the need for frustration to monetize something, can actually also be reversed (less frustration > more inclination to pay in a product) and TBH it would make the same amount of sense from a philosophy, design, monetization and thus a business perspective.   Wouldn't you say?
