Delhroh:   Sí, pero bajarías el nivel festivo a nivel 1... es algo que yo he hecho para intentar conseguir el estílo mágico... sin éxito... debo decir

Delhroh:   Sencillamente porque el contenido de las mismas es aleatorio. A mayor nivel más difícil que salga.
Un saludo.                   

eekeeboo: Glad to hear some good reports on the weekend! One of my first wins involved me upside down leaving the spawn  

eekeeboo: We do not need multiple threads (from multiple people) essentially stating the same thing. If you want to vent, please do so in a constructive manner like asking for help on what you could have done better. We DO NOT need more threads stating the same thing because people are having a set of bad games.     Please turn the thread constructive or things will start getting locked! 

eekeeboo:   *I* didn't put anything in the game, but on the other hand *I* will explain that tanks go through common testing and stats looked at. It's not until they hit the live server and you get to see the real performance you can truly judge just how a tank will perform. While you list all those tanks, I wonder how many you didn't list that were released and were fine, OK and those that were UP? Do you try to be objective in this or...?   

eekeeboo:   Prepare yourselves, wall of text is coming! :    But there's a lot of lists for a lot of people. There's not just 1 list for 1 group of people. A team is made up of different departments and workgroups. One is balancing another is developing another is mapping etc.    And with the MM changes in mind, regardless of how it is received now, is it better than what was before? Did it fix the main issues of before? Has it introduced other issues not popular with the community? Yes and that's why they have been worked on and continue to be, but these changes are not short-term things they take months and years to address, hence why if you remember the 3-5-7 was explained as being developed as the best solution from testing taking place over a protracted period of time. Unfortunately, in gaming and gamers, there is a tendency for short memories on only remember recent negative things and ignoring all the negatives that went away.    As far as I can see there was open recognition that 3-5-7 wasn't perfect but was an attempt to fix prior problems. The fact the MM changes were announced should highlight not that they're just starting work on it now because of all the feedback, but because there's a tonne of work already been done on various things and the team believe that there's a solution they hope will address more issues after a lot of work over a long period of time.    Data analysis takes WAY longer than a week when you sit down and think about all the different data you would need to gather over the different parameters and then all the different sets of analyses required. For rolling out, assessing and solution generation, then you have testing, then you have an assessment of that testing, you will never get it right the first time, so you go back to evaluation and you repeat this until it gets somewhere. All the while keeping resources on other projects. It takes significantly more than 3 weeks to assess data over millions of players over numerous permutations of matchups and maps etc. Then coming up with solutions, testing and assessing and making sure none of those solutions break anything else and address the issue you intend to address. There needs to be an element of realistic expectation and knowledge of just how much work is involved in game development.   

eekeeboo:   The E8 was in response to someone comparing it with the defender and talking about balance.    Power creep isn't the reason for having OP and UP content, it's part of the puzzle, it's a reason why things are slowly relegated to being less than optimal or under-performing. Others are because the game has evolved, but generally speaking, even the E8 is a more than effective tank at its tier, same as the Cromwell. Just as your own logic, power creep isn't the only thing to consider when balancing. Make everything 100% even (identical), people get bored.   

eekeeboo:   But the gap is extreme, it's a tier 6 vs tier 8. You will never be 1 v 1 in that situation, even then you can track for your team. It's not just about killing the enemy tank, there's a lot more things you can do in a game to make your tank useful. People play tier 6s because they're fun, generally not too skill demanding and they're mobile. People will play whichever tank line they want for various reasons, the E8 is by far a pleasurable grind vs that of others, for many purely because it's an E8 and they don't care about the rest, they get to control an E8.    You mention room to develop, that is what a majority of instances you have now, from flanking, tracking spotting and rotating on the map. If you are going head to head with a defender in an E8 by choice, you really need to consider the decision-making process that leads you to that point.    Credit cards don't win games, if they do, I would be extremely surprised if people who play the game long enough genuinely believe that.     

eekeeboo:   If those things were to be discussed they would be done in their own thread, not in a thread in response to a person trying to derail a topic to their own desires.  "A constructive discussion, comment, or approach is useful and helpful rather than negative and unhelpful." 

Delhroh: A mi me faltan 3 decoraciones mágicas de nivel 5... y ya dudo que las consiga...

eekeeboo: RNG is exactly what it is, that's why it's called RNG. It's not FNG. Random is at its core, chaotic and unpredictable.    RNG adds challenge and an element of unpredictability to the game, it stops things being a case of simple math and knowing exactly what you'll do. If you look at the accuracy it affects are more pronounced over an increased distance, the aim being.... not encouraging 100% accuracy and sitting back and sniping as far away as possible.    You can do with your money as you wish, it's your money. But that doesn't affect that the game has randomness in the game to prevent routine kicking in. 

eekeeboo: Closed because all sorted and fixed, thanks for the good work! 

eekeeboo:   And it shouldn't be a problem that solutions are well thought out, considered and tested. It's nice to have things expediently but it's nicer to have things done right. Especially when you consider the variables I mentioned.    For the player retention and gain, I will repeat the recent claims that these are affected by balancing. Player retention is affected by balancing, true but not as much as say competition and player boredom. Player recruitment is a completely different set of things to be considered and balancing is way way way down the list of considerations.    The main focus for WG is and should be all players over all regions, which is no small amount of people! 

eekeeboo:   The E8 doesn't just see the Defender and only the defender every game all the time.  The Type 5 was awful pre-buffs, the Type 4, in particular, was a nightmare grind.  You will always have OP and UP things, no matter the game, especially when you have the variety and age of a game like WoT.    The proposition for rebalancing isn't just tier 10 tanks, it's the lines of those tier 10 tanks. 

eekeeboo:   ​Nothing worse than having the best camo ever, then the teammate who's spotted moving and hiding behind you  

eekeeboo: I'm sure there will be a collection of information and data and review of the tank if needed. Note the T55a and the Object 260. That's all I can suggest for now, as I don't have the tank myself yet.    May I suggest though that if you fail to go head to head with an S. Conq, perhaps this is something you should not repeat? 

eekeeboo:     That's one way to look at it!   

eekeeboo:   But that element of imbalance like asymmetrical game modes/maps is what encourages diversity in gameplay and challenge. You will find (if you look) on the WoWP forums etc I'm a huge proponent of asymmetrical things for the element of challenge. For those that spawn in the water, may I suggest you find the bush in the middle, it suddenly makes the North team nervous when they suddenly all get spotted driving forward.  

eekeeboo:   Mountain pass is another where you can easily lose a tank from the South Spawn heading to the West brawling area.    You can have a strong idea on how things go, but that's the challenge, without it, you are essentially just going through the motions and not being challenged to improve or learn.  ​    

eekeeboo:   You say that then when the system was trialed on the test server, it was found to be far more complex than you imagine. That's before we got the new physics on rocks too!   

eekeeboo:   ​By not making water driving a risk, people could turn into submarines, traverse around the side of the map and pop up on the other side. 

eekeeboo: I think if you lined up a KV2 and an "accurate sniping tank" and measured the spread of shells at different ranges you would see the "norm". RNG is just that, sometimes it's awesome, sometimes it's not. Sometimes you get an amazing lucky blind moving snapshot into the enemy spawn (which you remember for its awesomeness). Other times you will fire at the back of a hellcat with a KV1S (old games) and bounce 3 shells. 

vuque: İndirimlerden faydalanmayı unutmamak önemli! Geçen sene bazı seviyeleri unutmuştum, acısını hala yüreğimde hissediyorum! 

Kayi4ek:   ​Všechno by mělo být na místě   

Kayi4ek:   Máš, podívej se do hry    

eekeeboo: Churchill III was always a suggestion from me, why go pew pew when you can go pew-pew-pew-pew-pew

eekeeboo: Just going to highlight that MoE is based on very different community/player base numbers than your win rate. The times of holidays or periods where most players will perform poorly in their vehicles are usually good times to start the MoE grind as the average will be lower.    That's all there is to it, unfortunately, you don't need tinfoil here, just understanding of how one set of values does not correlate to another. 

eekeeboo: The challenge any game company faces is to not have enough balance to keep things challenging and allow players to motivate, not challenge too much to be futile in frustration. But this is why games generally settle on a set demographic of players who enjoy certain levels of challenge.    I personally enjoy a good grind and a level of frustration, though I will become somewhat annoyed I thrive on the sense of achievement and accomplishment when I've completed a set objective/goal. 

eekeeboo: Well, I'm reading this and as admitted by the OP it wasn't mean to be constructive but venting anger. Either turn this constructive ladies and gents or another lock will be incoming! 

eekeeboo: I know I personally will report any person who deliberately suicides to prevent enemy team damage after spending all game sniping at someone, and wherever possible will shoot the flooded corpse of the player to ensure they also have a higher repair bill.    I know there was a solution tried in the past to discourage this, but how do you distinguish between those you attempted to do it deliberately and those who were just REALLY unlucky sliding off a bridge or finding out you can't actually survive the drop! 

vuque: Hafta sonu nasıldı arkadaşlar? x4'leri iyi değerlendirdiniz mi?

eekeeboo:   It's also important to remember the thought process takes place over the course of months for multiple players, servers and regions. Hopefully this will help provide some insight. 

Kayi4ek:   Jdu za supportem vyzjistit, co dělat v tomto případě dělat.

eekeeboo: I need to point it out AGAIN in an official capacity: No rigged/rigging or any element of punishment because you've been doing well, think about that, just a little. Punishing players for having fun.... Then add in, if it was possible to actively do this then how on Earth would we not use such systems for skill-based MM or other systems? 

eekeeboo: It's also important to remember that as the game has aged and evolved, the amount of information and things to learn has increased dramatically also. In the old days of 2 nations with few tank lines, it wasn't that much of an issue.    No amount of tutorial (if people actually go through them) can help you learn all the match-ups, map positions and other things you learn as you play. 

Actinid: Salut,   Il y a eu quelques mises à jour concernant le véhicule premium de rang VIII :   Voila une liste des changements en question (version anglaise uniquement pour le moment)       Brief changelog: Engine power increased by 5%. Braking effectiveness improved. Switch time between driving modes reduced from 0.2 to 0.1 s. Debuff from wheel damage reduced. Maneuverability in the Cruise mode at slow speed improved. Magazine reload time reduced from 10.3 s to 9.5 s.   Detailed changelog:   Dynamics Changed the engine power from 500 h.p. to 525 h.p. (+5%). Braking effectiveness and, to some extent, acceleration effectiveness (as a side-effect) were improved. Switch time between driving modes reduced from 0.2 to 0.1 s. Players complained that the vehicle lacked dynamics in certain cases. At the same time, many of them also mentioned high momentum of the vehicle (insufficient effectiveness of braking). The increase in engine power has a rather cosmetic effect, while the braking effectiveness was improved considerably. Reduced time of switching between the modes enables the vehicle to drive without losing that much speed when changing the mode.   Wheel Damage Debuff (increased terrain resistance) from a damaged wheel was reduced. The level, to which wheel durability is restored automatically, was fixed at 100%. The speed of automatic restoration of wheel durability was reduced. Players complained about a drastic drop in vehicle dynamics even if only one or two of its wheels were damaged. As a matter of fact, damage to one or two wheels was negligible for high-speed driving. At the same time, acceleration with even a single wheel damaged dropped too much. The reduction of the debuff from damage to a single wheel had a barely noticeable effect on vehicle behavior at high speed, while granting a considerable boost to acceleration with one or two damaged wheels. The setting of automatic restoration of wheel durability reduces the probability of a damaged wheel to a certain extent, at the same time increasing the gameplay value of damaging each separate wheel.   Maneuverability Wheel turning speed increased. Maximum angle of turning the wheels when the Forward key is released was increased. Throttle level when turning at low speed was increased (when the Forward key is released). Maximum speed, up to which the turning throttle is effective, was set at 20 km/h. The vehicle needed better maneuverability at low speed in the Cruise mode. At a speed higher than 20 km/h in the Cruise mode, the base maneuverability remained approximately the same, except for the improved responsiveness of the vehicles when turning (because of the increased wheel turning speed) and the possibility to turn the wheels at a greater angle when the Forward key is released. Maneuverability in the Rapid mode mostly remained unchanged. At the same time, we have achieved a more meaningful separation of the drive modes than before.   Battle Performance Magazine reload time reduced from 10.3 s to 9.5 s (-8%). Adding an extra round to the magazine, as many players had asked us, was deemed inappropriate. The current magazine configuration encourages the player to play all-in, shooting all they can at a time and retreating to safety for a reload. Instead, the effectiveness of the current magazine was slightly improved via a reduction in its reload time. Increasing the view range was also considered unreasonable, because the potential battle performance of the vehicle is rather high as it is, and it demonstrates a happy blend of characteristics for an active gameplay.   Other: Parameters of engine damage when Boosting were slightly adjusted (to bring it in line with the general system; no meaningful changes to the player). Parameters of suspension stiffness were increased (to reduce the falling damage when the vehicle lands on its wheels). Skid resistance parameters were adjusted (to reduce the probability of a skid at high speed).   Bonne journée à tous !

eekeeboo: I'm going to ask for a replay to demonstrate the issue. You can provide or not, this is the last chance before the thread gets locked because this has derailed into a hunt for aimbots and other such issues.     

eekeeboo: People have an issue with taking a tank with +2 mm difference. Now imagine how your team feels if you end up with a tank 4 tiers below you and you have the current MM system that will simply not allow it and have a different system. I'm sure you know why it was removed. 

eekeeboo:   You mean... ​http://forum.worldof...5#entry16516425 Where a report will also provide information that the info will be passed on and be fixed as soon as possible. All bugs reported are worked on, bug reporting and ticket reports are the best and most reliable way to do this so that support can pass this on directly with further information when requested. 

eekeeboo: As a free to play account, you should look to completing missions that provide freebies when available but having a stable variety of tanks also that will allow you to complete the various tasks in the personal missions too. Try to also complete the missions like that for the SU130 as well when possible.    Otherwise, Tier 6/7 should be where you're looking to play most frequently to increase your credit base before moving to the higher and higher tiers. Where a stable income and collection of consumables and equipment will help play tier 9 and 10 with game knowledge more profitable. 

eekeeboo:   Hello!    I just wanted to give you a heads up from your latest video:    1) The offending person with the "interesting" username has been dealt with and will be forced to rename. Please don't hesitate to poke me if you see similar names.  2) The issue with the chat system and the word used/sanction. This has also been sorted and the restriction lifted I believe. I can only apologise for this and keep me updated if there's a similar issue in the future!    Thank-you,  eek. 

vuque: How was the weekend for you guys, did you enjoy the x4?

eekeeboo:   I'm not sure how more concisely and clearly you would like to type a report being acknowledged and worked on. If there's no ETA you won't be given ETA. 

parim1331:   Problem polega na tym, że jeżeli, mówiąc czysto hipotetycznie, przestalibyśmy robić tego typu akcje to zakładam, że Ty byłbyś z tego względu zadowolony, natomiast ta druga grupa osób, która rzeczywiście na tym bardzo korzysta, byłaby niezadowolona i w tym momencie pisaliby takie same posty na forum jakie piszesz właśnie Ty - morał tej historii jest taki, że nigdy wszystkim nie dogodzisz.

Pomogłem daj suba.

Kayi4ek:   Pravdu díš. Omezená byla pouze žena z Twitch Prime balíčku. Ostatní členové, stejně jako ženy z osobních misí, jdou naverbovat neomezeně. Změnu neplánujeme a pokud by k ní došlo, budeme o ní s předstihem informovat
