Garbad, on Jan 20 2013 - 19:50, said: As an interesting note 34 people like t3 clam wars:
Striker_002, Tiger_23, impsamurai, PTwr, ed_anger, Yoott, Haggis_of_Doom, xxWrathxx, CreepyJanitor, Legiondude, SULOMON, Dogface_GI, AsianBoiTanker, Fritz_Panzer, stormofjustice9, Traudl_Junge, LOBSTER_MOBSTER, Glaber, Bobaflay, 1bigtracker, Chicada, WhoDaPhuck, 907_ATT, JesusDidntDie, NoLubeForYou, Adizzel, Rilak, Hi_Im_Chris_Hansen, AdmSycron, Cool_Aids, Its_Not_Lupus, Spanisharmada, AlexHawk, F250_4x4
Of those, screening out those who don't play or plan to play CW, including alts:
Striker_002, ed_anger, LOBSTER_MOBSTER, Rilak, AlexHawk
So the poll among people who actually play CW or want to play CW is about 90% against tier 3.

PanzerF, on Jan 20 2013 - 19:27, said: Yoott, are you still touting this line that most real clans dont care about the upcoming state of CW? Because then you really need to open your eyes.
This was enough of an issue that players went after WG knowing they would receive ROs and suspensions.
The general uproar and number of threads against this should be a big tell for you.
You say that its a minority here that are upset, that minority is Clan Wars. The people that arent here reading, are the people who wont participate in CW anyways because they dont care. They arent speaking up in support because they arent a part of Clan Wars regardless of whatever tier level is being played.
Those that are, believe they can take a team of Tier 3s into a playing field where they will be one shot very quickly.
4 Landing zones? The big clans arent dumb. They didnt have all that land in Europe by luck. They had good strategists and great diplomacy for the most part. And they had highly skilled players going into the field to fight for them.
Do you really think that deals havent already been worked out to once again lock down NA? Especially with only 4 ways into it? Yes, with this many teams, there is a chance that they might get knocked out. Its undoubtedly higher of a chance here, then if they were competing on a LZ in Europe. But odds are that a few familiar clans will control LZs at the end of Day 1 in NA

Garbad, on Jan 20 2013 - 18:59, said: I expect the devs have misread their audience. The people who think t3 CW is cool don't actually play CW, nor will they. I expect this will show in the poll -- note how those who vote for t3 clan wars "maybe" will play CW and those who actually play clam wars universally loathe it. Its a great example of an idea that sounds cool to those who don't actually play and shouldn't be voting.
But let's see.

Striker_002, on Jan 20 2013 - 18:33, said: My god a lot of people are dense.
General Direction, other wargaming employees viewing this thread, I hope you recognize the complainers are a very vocal minority.  When me and my team heard of this event we simply said "That sounds cool!".  Playing tier 10s all the time in clanwars made me bored and I quit to play the more interesting skirmishes and challenges.
Let us have this week or so change of pace, then the complainers can go back to there tier 10's all the time against the same teams.
I completely don't buy the sealclubbing argument.  It's their choice if they want to play clan wars or not.  They don't have to enter the ring with mike tyson if they don't want to.

You know on the Russian server some LZ battles last for about 15 hours because of the number of clans applying for it , so lets do the math
4 LZ's ALL the African and european clans applying for those 4.....how long you think that is going to take ?? in a WEEKDAY

Diastant, on Jan 20 2013 - 18:04, said: These ideas may sound great to good players, but realize that WG is never going to do this. #4 is plausible, I guess.
As for #5, not going to happen. It would make WG lose a bit of money. Some players are simply too lazy to grind their way up to higher tiers.

MadBadger, on Jan 20 2013 - 17:43, said: My clan is not normally ranked in the 'uber' groups (even though we are actually apocalyptically uber, we prefer to lurk in the background until the Return of the King). But we all have plenty of tier 10s and can field quite a force when we need to.
That being said, there's a lot of fun and interesting "how are we gonna fight this out in tier 3's?" bull sessions going on right now. We're looking at resurrecting long-unused tanks or trying to convince the others that our fave little tier 3 doomtank is THE machine to be running.
It is a nice break from the seriousness and repetition of the tier 10's we were running before. It will also allow clans who DON'T carry several teir 10's each to participate, at least for a while, in CW in a fresh setting and see what the fuss is all about.
It's a game, it's something different, it's for fun, it's not forever. Maybe you should give it a shot before crying doom and gloom.

Captain_Howdy, on Jan 20 2013 - 16:55, said: I thought the intent was to get our higher level brethren to do their wars in lesser tanks for a bit...not give the scrubs a chance to take land.
I mean cmon....once some of the guys from *insert european land holding clan name here* get in their tanks it will be like Mike Tyson against a crowd of 14 year olds. Same thing will happen, just faster.
Personally I'd love to see a few vids of Unicums slaughtering folks in Tier 3s.
Chi-ha anyone?

Dayus, on Jan 20 2013 - 11:30, said: They will lose so bad they likely won't even know what went wrong. mid level clans can learn from the top tier as they can usually put up a fight, but low level clans have trouble often learning strats in the first place, pitting them vs the best won't help them much besides as an example of how doing stuff right kills them

Tolos, on Jan 20 2013 - 13:14, said: First tyvm for coming back
If you want more clans in Clan wars then here is a few idea's
1 : Drop the stupid tier 3 part
2 : Open up more then 4 LZ ( cause you know damn well the bad clans are going to get stomped )
3 : Open up the entire map at the START ( for the life of me I cannot work out what moron thought this would be a good idea )
4 : Make it so you have to pass a " driving " test before moving up in tiers ( Garbad had a VERY good idea ), this will help ALL aspects of the game, not just clan wars
5 : Make it so if you have less then 1k games you cannot buy a tier 8 premium ( so they need to learn how to play, and as such players get better )
6 : Make it so clans need at least 30 chips before they can own land
7 : LISTEN to the player base on PLAYS clan wars
And this is just off the top of my head, its not that hard to work out
Hell if WG needs someone to come up with idea's im happen to help more for a little gold every week...

Subject: Bye-bye Serene Coast and Dragon Ridge, welcome back Swamp and Komarin
Link on message: #3532140

ITDUDE, on Jan 19 2013 - 17:02, said: Latest from Storm:
-In 8.4, Dragon Ridge and Serene Coast maps will be removed from random game mode
-Swamp and Komarin will be reworked visually and for better gameplay and will be returned (ITDUDE: Storm didn't specify when, but I am guessing 8.4 as well)
Personal opinion
- Dragon Ridge, like it, hope it's not gone for too long
- Serene Coast, ok map, don't care either way. Remove bunch of buildings and camping rocks and the map will be just fine.
- Swamp, ok map, not sure why it was removed (probably too many draws)
- Komarin, loved it, glad to see it is coming back
