Subject: Wargaming Shutting down US operations?
Link on message: #12874924
HeisenbergWOTS, on Jul 14 2021 - 19:38, said: You're not very bright, are you? Wargaming doesn't
bank in Belarus. Or Russia for that matter. Those currencies are
essentially worthless. That's why they bought the bank in Cyprus,
so they would have a way in to the EU banking system. They also
used U.S. banks when they set their offices up in California and
still do to this day. The assets that would be siezed are
all of their U.S. and EU bank accounts, all properties both real
and intellectual and material and it would be done instantly.
No, they probably wouldn't be arrested if they're in a
non-extradition nation or state but what difference would that
make? None. They'd still be broke without anything to their names.
Their game, their business, all of their bank accounts, all
properties and possessions in the EU and U.S. would be gone. That
is an awful lot to lose.

Jaguarz: Northen Cyprus, where the Hellenic bank resides is a....
complicated entity.... recognized only by Turkey, a state which is
currently amusing itself by showing the world just how weak the
European Union actually is. The chance of the EU doing something to
piss off Turkey is currently nil because they could simply open
their borders to a flood of immigrants into an entity currently
grappling with an existing immigrant problem thanks to Merkle
unilaterally opening Germany's borders in 2015 when she was angling
for a Nobel "peace prize", an action which was initially lauded by
the left but pretty soon went down like a cup of cold sick across
the spectrum once mass molestations started to take place and then
the attacks began. Politics is funny beast

churchill50: The Bourrasque is definitely up there, but there are some other
contenders.The Obj 279(e) and Obj 260 (and to a lesser extent the
T55A, Chimera, etc), which are Personal Mission reward tanks, not
Clan Wars Reward tanks.Concept 1B and Kpz 50t, the two Ranked
reward tanks, are both very high.The Battle Pass reward tanks are
usually decently high, although not as high as the Bourrasque or
the others I've listed here.The AMX 13 57 used to be. I'm not sure
if it is anymore. It used to be that by the time you were pretty
much running out of shells, you were breaking even on the marks
when nearing 95%.

is using the word "rigged" to mean something completely different
to what you are using it to mean. To Budha, "rigged" refers
to any condition that doesn't meet his definition of "fair". A
randomly generated match where every player is red except for three
purples randomly placed on one team? Rigged. A randomly generated
match where every player is red, except for his pre-selected triple
platoon of seal clubbers on one team? Not rigged.

Link on message: #12874441
Draschel: i would personally trade in stabilizer from rotator.
Rotator reduces a heavy tank disadvantages in CQB, and 110E5 has
good enough gun stats to skip
the stabilizer, using rotator bonus' of course. If
exclusively in public matches, many people drop an
equipment space for turbo to race into
position.

than is3 or 252. But the gun handling is still terrible,
DPM is middling. It is drivable nowadays, just not a metagame tank

MrBeetleBumEntertainment, on Jul 14 2021 - 01:29, said: I find it funny how people in here keep saying its incredibly
clear, or its extremely clear when the commercial stated it was a
premium and there were rentals in the same drop, its obvious you
guys didnt watch the video because all of that was covered. I wont
flame but its hilarious that you guys use those words when it was
not clear at all, it was one line tagged at the end of the
commercial and nowhere have you guys mentioned that people didnt
stop their subscription so according to WG own commercial about the
package, everyone should still have it. I stated in the video i
understand how business works and I understand that wg couldnt stop
twitch from changing the agreement, BUT WG couldve done so much
more for the players then say hey, wanna buy that tank you had for
free? and yet again, i said that in the video, ugh, its like having
a class and someone walks in and yells some random disagreement
with no facts after listening for one minute

DeviouslyCursed: The battle was not rigged against the amx.

DeviouslyCursed: The only person you've ever proved wrong in this thread is
yourself. Don't make me go back and get the times you contradicted
yourself, often in the same paragraph.

DeviouslyCursed: See above. Despite being shown to be wrong over and over, you
have yet to admit it. Even when you contradict yourself and it's
quoted directly, you still deny it. You are a spineless little
twerp. You have no integrity.

DeviouslyCursed: Yes, that is random. It treated everyone equally and fairly.

DeviouslyCursed: A MM that doesn't factor in skill is unbiased, and therefore
cannot rig battles for or against anyone. The only bias present is
of your own doing. A SBMM deliberately sticks its fingers into the
mix and shifts things around according to a desired outcome. It is
the very definition of rigging. Depending on perspective you
can claim Random MM is fair, or unfair. Depending on
perspective you can claim SBMM is fair, or unfair. But only a
moron is going to claim Random MM is rigged.

MrBeetleBumEntertainment, on Jul 13 2021 - 21:04, said: sry mate, your way off there, only way what you say
could be true is if you signed up when this tank was given out, all
the WG media said it was a premium and only one line in the
commercial right at the end said "as long as your a subscriber it
will remain in your garage" that was wg's commercial not mine, and
it was removed, I stated i understand why in the video, but to come
in here and make fun of others and imply they are stupid and then
claim stuff that didnt happen is beyond rude ... may i
suggest a drink or something stronger, something to take your edge
off maybe?
MrBeetleBumEntertainment, on Jul 13 2021 - 21:45, said: "the first line describes it as a rental"
? the first line of the media
release AFTER it was removed, we are talking about the commercial
shown when it was first given out. as for your point about
cancelling twitch prime, we all know and it was covered in my
video, i rewound the video and showed where it said that, but that
also implies as long as you dont cancel twitch prime (whcih we
didnt) then we should still have the tank so again your point is
moot. saying it was always a temp tank when WG's own
advertising called it a premium is kinda just
ignoring reality.

anyone was mistaken, it was their own fault. It was extremely clear
to me it was not permanent. People always complain about the way WG
does things. Admittedly WG has made some guffaws, but this wasn't
one of them. WG can put bright warning highlights with giant "YOU
MUST ACTIVATE A TEAM!" buttons and these idiots will still miss it
and blame WG.

GeneralButtBuster, on Jul 13 2021 - 22:40, said: Yeah I still don't understand why so many players and even some of
our CCs get upset about it or say they have "less respect" for anon
players. Like why? Because we are using an in-game feature that is
free and available to all? Or is it because that free in-game
feature breaks their precious XVM mod that they spent 5 minutes
dowloading and think that having 1 anon player in a game ruins
their entire great strategical plan that could have been otherwise
calculated. I seriously don't get how using anon actually hurts
anyone in any real way, and yet people still get upset about it.

1LT_Dwayne: I personally don't like it. There are some players that
played at almost the same time and same days as myself and I always
liked the little rivalry between me and them but I understand that
if you were a very good player, being targeted almost every time
must have really sucks. Especially when they do not even care about
the win.

Boisefan11, on Jul 12 2021 - 09:58, said: The lack of a Chieftan reward makes a lot of people
uninterested/angry. There are a large majority of the
competitive/clan player base that do not have access to this
obviously better tank, resulting in unfair advantages to those
veteran clans. How do you expect new clans to compete with these
clans that can run heavily loaded Chieftan compositions? There is
clearly a disadvantage to newer clans/players that you all are
clearly ignoring. Either give players access to acquire it or make
it more balanced. Ranked Battles this season proved that Chieftans
are kind of ridiculously better than most Tier X's

madogthefirst, on Jul 12 2021 - 11:10, said: As someone who has participated in comp for a very long time I
think that the decision to not include the chieftain without some
sort of announcement or plans like hey "we are not going to include
the chieftain this campaign, but we are not allowing reward tanks
in advs or cw anymore" really hurts the community of any new
players trying to enjoy the end game. The fact of the matter is the
chieftain is isn't a sconq with a turbo, but a MBT in game full of
role based tanks. Then the fact that we can now slap a purple turbo
on a chief makes this even more so. We will have chieftains going
the speed of 907's without turbo. The only thing the Chief
cannot replace is an arty or light tanks which is insane if you
think about it. Every map in this game can be played with
exclusively chieftains and that is a legitimate strat and not a
joke like when the m60 first came out. I am personally extremely
sad as a community contributor and ex-league player to see this
game boil down to 1 tank that can't even be unlocked for new
players thus making any new player a handicap for their team. It
used to be go grind this tank and now you can participate now its
you can't really be considered to do anything. WarGaming might as
well axe CW and ADVs at this point if they don't plan to address
this issue.

someone else (this includes complaining about bad teams and other

prick3. Acting like they know more about the game than the people
who actually know the game (insulting game developers qualifies)4.
Pretending to be good when they are not (seal clubbers, for
instance) #4 is generally when they are doing #3, they are not
necessarily insulting or stat shaming others, but they "not too
subtly" refer to their own superiority, which is usually gained
only by seal clubbing (or bot
farming).

TLC. A city match with arty and TDs isn't much fun.
Neither is an open map without any lights. I know TDs are
popular, but like SPGs, perhaps there should be some limits.
IMO, a balanced MM has an appropriate mix of tank classes for the
particular map.

The_Chieftain: Back when Christ was a corporal (around about 2000), I bought a
Falcon Northwest. I have to say, I found it an extremely well-built
and capable machine, but they are just a tad expensive. It was,
however, an excellent foundation which meant that over much of
the next decade, I could easily and seamlessly upgrade one or two
components and keep a very respectable machine. The next
decade, I went totally home-build. I used to work IT, building a PC
was not a major challenge (except when I came back from deployment
to discover new motherboard ports had been invented in my absence).
It may not have been pretty, it may not have been the fastest thing
on the planet, but it worked and was quite affordable. I never
forgot the quality of the Falcon N-W, however, Finally, before the
end of last year, I decided that my last PC could be upgraded
no more, and a new one was required. As ever, it came down to "Do I
want to take the time to build a new PC, or shall I just solve the
problem by throwing money at a prebuild? I went with another
pre-build, not least because they seemed to have a better handle on
graphics cards and Ryzen 9s than I seemed to be able to find online
(and I wanted to make the expense in that tax year), but old
impressions still count. After doing some research, I decided
Falcon N-W was still the company to go with.Turned out they are
still very good at building PCs, and I have absolutely no quarrel
with the quality of the product they provided. Now, in fairness,
they're still not cheap. With the exception of the
primary SSD, I saved a few hundred dollars by buying the
additional three drives on the commercial market (not least also,
with a military discount), and they plugged in quite happily, even
if perhaps the cabling isn't -totally- pretty. I expect,
though, that this machine will similarly last a very long time
before I will need to consider upgrading it, and I expect no issues
when that happens in a few years.

DeviouslyCursed: The outcome is never fixed. There is always a chance for a
win. No matter what bracket you use, there are games where the team
that was supposed to win did not. Of the over 40K games I have
played. I remember surprisingly few of them (it's like that for
everything, think of how many days you've been alive and how few of
them you actually remember). But one of the battles that has
stuck with me over the years was the one were my 3 green
platoon with all reds and oranges roflstomped a purple platoon and
their mostly yellow/green team. I called it from the start, we were
going to kill their purps b/c I knew exactly what they were going
to do, and surprisingly my team listened. 2-3 mins in they had lost
all 3 purples, a green, and a yellow. We had lost one (orange or
red, can't remember). Win chance went from sub 20% to over
80%. Your SBMM would never give me a game like that. Just
boring snooze fests that I'll never remember.

DeviouslyCursed: You are lying. Your picture does not happen routinely, and
not even close to 40-60% of all battles. SBMM gives balanced
battles by making some players work harder than others, which is
not fair. You also keep ignoring that I have said, repeatedly,
that I'd have no issue with being the sole green on the other team.
Mostly because I'm smart enough to understand what I have to give
up under a SBMM. If fairness is so important to you, why do
you stack your platoons with better players? You are making a
situation that you claim is bad, even worse.

DomoSapien: To echo what others have mentioned, it is indeed only required on
the hull; this hasn't changed.
So if you want to stretch the most value out of your camo set (say you got some camo in an event, and it's actually camo instead of a style) you can just apply it to the hull for each season so you aren't burning extra camo patterns on making your gun etc. look fancy.
