Link on message: #11808917

emeraldweed, on 14 December 2015 - 02:02 PM, said: So we know that you can't put a camo paint on this tank because its an advertisement tank and WG told us that the effects of  camo paint are already ''build in '' the total camo values. Fine i will bite it. But now with the current patch with emblems giving bonuses etc i decided to ''Pimp'' my premium tanks giving them premium camo paint and emblems, well besides the amx1357 gf ofc... did WG forgot about it ? Or do we still get nothing?    Tl'dr i want to throw my money at WG but they won't take it and the sucky tank i got will suck way more now.   PS: i know that the effects of emblems are something minimal and not a game changer but still don't find it fair to not be able to get something out of it at all

I'll usually accept if I just notice the invite and none others have filled up the toon yet ..   Some missions are such RNGesus that the kind act of toon just might help them out (I've been fortunate myself three times getting missions done from asking in random game...good guys!)

Sven_Hazel, on 11 December 2015 - 10:45 AM, said: This morning i once again got absolutely wasted in my Maus from gold ammo. The only thing you have going for you in a Maus is your armor, but that has been totally non relevant when everybody is spamming you with gold. Only super heavy tanks like the Maus suffers so bad by the gold spam. This is the only sort of tanks you can actually get "pay to win" stuff against. Tanks like the Bat Chat i.ex. cant be countered in the same way with"pay to win" Because there is no counter item to be bought against mobiliity. Not that I think that there should be either. But I feel a little cheated here, spending so much time and effort to get my Maus. I suggest that either gold ammo is being nerfed, getting back to cost gold only again or simply limit the amount that can be carried to like 10% of the tanks ammo sttock.

Per_Saukko_EU, on 10 December 2015 - 02:33 PM, said:   I would argue that the number of impulse purchases would be much higher if the players knew exactly how much they need for their favorite tank and the rest of the available money is free to spend - unless they find another interesting purchase(=they commit to buy another tank which is a win for you guys.) 


Per_Saukko_EU, on 10 December 2015 - 02:33 PM, said: Just to possibly make me interested in an impulse buy, can you confirm if E25 is not going to be in the store? I may spend the budget on something else if I know my only priority buy isn't happening.

Per_Saukko_EU, on 10 December 2015 - 01:08 PM, said: The people who can afford to buy multiple bundles will do so anyway even if they know the list. People who actually have a budget are not buying tempting tanks if they have a specific vehicle in mind and can't afford multiple bundles. This just does not make sense.

Maxmk6, on 08 December 2015 - 03:53 PM, said: OP that's a really good idea, wouldn't be surprised if WG did something like that as it would make them money. But as much as I'm into collecting too (I guess I could be described as on the spectrum or rather an overlapping one with some similarities) for me it's got one big downside, I'd have to give them money & they're not getting another penny out of me till the unfairness of PM reward crew is put right, and can't see that ever happening. Maybe they could sell PM reward crew in that shop, but then I'd be screwed anyway cuz since they started in Jan I've been largely trashing my account and if I had the PM crew I'd want to be constructive again, but not with this last 11 months of trash stats so would want to wipe, which would mean I'd be excluded from high-game-count shop. Very good idea though :-)   Edit - and re Ectar, well then WG really shouldn't expect to profit from people who aren't profiting from CW's and / or PM's, but WG do expect to don't they. It's extremely conflicting, WG go on about collectibles, want to cash in on people spending big money on supposedly rare collectible low tier tanks, exactly how many of the people with all the PM & CW's reward tanks also buy all the low tier prems (with real money rather than with gold they got for free from CW's), throw money at things like the Razer Deathadder with Pz4Hydro, are actually genuine collectors? I guess very few.

master4us, on 07 December 2015 - 08:28 PM, said: look Ectar, i will not down vote your post and i will state my opinion here.   1. WG has decided to remove the general discussion section from the forum because they were tired about all the whine and "feed-back" given by players. Especially the whine... 2. Everything that was new with this game was discussed there, including OP and UP tanks, premium shop offers, mods, people made some analysis on some interesting stuff and this was not in your company (as a staff, u represent them) interest 3. Money is running low so the company is doing everything to cut the losses, as new nations are added and marketing campaigns are running there etc etc, and boost the income by every mean possible (bundles; 10.0 update with pay 2 win scheme; if you buy something from premium shop you can't change your mind although it's legal in 14 days and so on) 4. Competition is good for a free market but very bad for a company that is not used to it, it's very important how company's react to competition, WG started badly ...


Maaaaaad, on 08 December 2015 - 02:16 AM, said: Where is the section to report bugs?   Since the last version.  If you click to view a tanks stats in your garage it now just takes you to the top of the board of tank stats.    It used to take you to the highlighted stats of the actual tank that you had chosen to view. A minor change but one that wastes time locating the actual stats you wish to view.

Schmeksiman, on 07 December 2015 - 10:11 PM, said:   Yes, as for lot of other people that are expecting a Type 59 for 5€. Be realistic, they are never going to sell a T8 premium at 75% discount, VERY rarely at 50% discount. The reason - gameplay. You don't want battles with 20 T34's per side.   I'll be honest and say that this offer isn't anything special since it includes credits in its price but you should be realistic too, 50% discount ain't going to happen.

Dominus_Imperatoriis, on 03 December 2015 - 06:17 PM, said:   Awesome news.   Some improvements that I believe it would facilitate the forum management:   - Eliminate reputation system from general discussion (leave working in other sections). In the general discussion it only serve as tool to cause dissidence or intimidate players with different opinions. - Limit the creation of threads per each account. E.g. Each poster is allowed to create only 1 thread per day. This will deter the general discussion to become cluttered with new threads and divert forum posters for the already open threads. - Create a top list of threads for the most basic issues and complaints players have, as already happen with the Issues with the Matchmaking thread. Create a permanent thread for artillery balance, for report system complaints, etc. - Increase interaction of WG staff with the forum posters, mainly the casual complainers. As soon an issue is addressed and answers offered, the complainers are less likely to continue to post (or to continue to play in the hands of the small group of forum dwellers antagonizing players on a daily basis).

5everin, on 03 December 2015 - 05:23 PM, said:   Really Ectar you do spout some crap. Steppes a corridor map? Corridors have walls that don't let you shoot across them. I.e streets in Himmlesdorf etc. In steppes if you have the view range you can shoot across the map and at diagonals. Unlike the corridor maps WG are spewing up pretty much every patch where pretty much the only shooting to be done is at the tank poking out their end of the corridor 50-100m directly in-front of you. With a seperate area for the Td's and lights to run around/camp at best.  Until that point you can blindly lemming your way across the map without a care in the world.   As for diversifying maps and gameplay WG are doing the opposite. More and more maps are drive to the engagement point and slug it out at the designated fighting corner or couple of corners. End of diversity unless you mean changing the textures and a couple of small features then calling it a new map?   So please stop the half-truths and outright bull. (example your misleading comments on the A45. people asked about a mission/competition. You appeared to say that there would be one later that month when the truth was that it was to be sold at the end of the month and there was no mission/competition)   Thanks

The middle area is a killing ground as vehicles are easily spotted and don't have a lot of cover to advance through.  - When you add cover to the middle of maps, tanks that like to sit back (and to a lesser extent arty) then can have a hard time lining up shots (Himmelsdorf, Ruinberg as 2 example there).    Ectar says Steppes isn't a corridor map, when there are clearly 3 sunken lanes/corridors all the players go to, apart from the ones that don't leave spawn and cower behind the rock of course.
