Hope, national fragments can also be exchanged otherwise it will be useless.

How about the conversion rate? In the video says 140 blueprints will be few days of premium time. Fingers crossed that were dummy data otherwise it is insane!

Last thing is about bond shop updates...it has been long time since we did not get any updates any news please?

Will the overall points deduct immediately, or only after the hit vehicle is spotted afterwards? This is quite important for someone who likes to blind fire standard camping bushes.    Yesterday I had a game where i did more than 2000 damage by blind fire, because campers were camping in usual camping positions

hennyjr, on 01 March 2021 - 01:22 PM, said: some great mods are going to be implemented. amazing how small changes can improve the game. I will use them for sure   2 points which are a bit of topic: Any idea when monthly rundown will be on the news page? especially because the Top of the tree will be over soon on the Chinese TD line and there will be a new one when the other ends  I participated on the sandbox test server and got the survey after 3(!!!!) days already. I didn't fill it in because I wanted to test some things out more. but now I can't find it anymore to participate in the survey. Why do I get the survey already when the sandbox is still live? and where can I find the survey now so I can still participate in it?

trispect, on 26 February 2021 - 05:28 PM, said: A lot of my best tanks have good crews consisting only snow maidens and commanders like Chuck, Skill, and Prime commanders. Conversion penalizes way too hard for having those crew members since they don’t have as much XP. For 6 skill (6thj at 78%) I got level 62 commander. Instructors don’t even nearly conpensate the difference.

All of my tanks were worse after conversion than they are in live.

Also there aren’t enough skill points to get the same skills as in crew 1.0

Covenant_R, on 26 February 2021 - 04:18 PM, said: Overall
I assume any direct values and specific talents in the rework need balancing and might not even make it into the game. This is my feedback on the system, not on the specific skills or their values. The base of the system is good. One commander boosted with instructors is fine. Included Sixth sense is a given and necessary. In the end, it offers a much clearer progression on your commanders value compared to the multicrew system today. It also streamlines the crew over the whole game instead of needing to care for different roles and different numbers of crew within the same tank line.

But while I think most of the base system is fine, there is things that IMO doesn't make sense, mostly with regards to conversion, instructors and talents as a system,
  General Suggestions for Rework Skill Trains * Remove the Talents from the skill tree. * When enough points is invested into a specific skill train, give a slight % boost to all skills in that path.   Instructors These changes would keep the instructors valuable and usable. And actually meaningful. And you can give specific instructors unique talents. * Give the instructors 4-6 talents that is available for choosing. * When equipped, depending on the instructor level. Choose one or two Talents. There might also be one talent, but higher effectiveness on higher level instructors. * Thus, once your commander reach level 15, 30, 45, 60 you get natural access to 1, 2, 3 or 4 different talents for boosting the commander.   Conversion * Bia zero skills crew needs to count towards the conversion points
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First Sandbox of Crew 2.0 opinions. Legend + Positive - Negative * Suggestion   Conversion BIA Crew + You get an instructor for each and every BIA Crew. - Several tanks that has crew trained on them on live, when converting, it seas crew needs to be assembled from reservists, looking in the reserist list, all the tanks crew is available there. - Bia Crew is only converted to the actual trained skills, not account for the bia itself. - Bia crew was often costing money as part of tank packages. - The converted skill abilities for a BIA crew is severely undercut, an instructor does not boost enough to equal the ability of BIA on live. Especially without full control over instructor skills.   Training Manuals - No preview of the levels when applying multiple crew manuals at the same time. Its a separate screen without preview. * Would be better to have the # selection of training manuals to apply on the preview page directly. Or add a crew level preview meter to the page where you select to apply a higher # of training manuals.   Instructors + The bonus to crew XP is the best thing with instructors. + Instructors offer a unique flavor.
- Instructors is not unique enough, and they are basically all the same, a slight points boost. - Instructor boosts does not add to the Talent Unlock Limit, making instructors less effective. - The amount of boosting an instructor gives to skills, does not equal the effectiveness of a free BIA crew. - Choosing instructor specialization, the names of some tracks are the same, while others are not aligned with the commander training tracks, and several contain skills from different commander tracks, making the process and difference between commander and instructor boosting confusing. See technical vs maintenance. - Choosing instructor skills on multi-skill instructors, it makes little sense that they would have skill boosts from separate training tracks when you have no control over the specific skills. - When choosing training track on instructors, you have no direct control over which skills they will boost on multi-skill instructors. - When choosing training track on instructors, you don't see a preview of which sets of two skills will be boosted. Leading to choosing specialization, but having suboptimal combinations of skills.   Instructor Suggestions Further down is a complete rework that would keep the instructors Unique and more interesting as entities.
If points on instructors will be kept as it is on sandbox. They need to have the following attributes: * Let the instructor boost count towards the 30p for the talent so you can either spend less points, or get it earlier then otherwise. * Needs to be possible to decide where those points end up during choice of specialization.
  Mobilization (conversion of barracks reserves) + Good that you can convert crew you had prepared, but don't have the vehicle for yet.   Skill Trains * Look at making the talents weaker, but set points limits it to 25p so you can focus all 75 points into 3 skill trains if wanted. 


Galaxy_class, on 26 February 2021 - 04:50 PM, said: @HeatResistantBFG Coherence doesn’t affect camo? Seems a bit strange. Do any of the other Vehicle Handling bonuses, (vents, food, Elite Progression etc), improve the camo skill? You can’t really tell in game as a lot of the stats don’t show what is boosting them.    Also, if it’s true that Coherence is permanently lost for the reminder of the battle if you temporarily lose a crew member, that’s not good and needs to be changed imo. 


OrigamiChicken, on 26 February 2021 - 04:59 PM, said: I wish that, when hovering over a certain skill, in the popup i could see what benefit it would give when fully upgraded. Right now it only shows the current benefit and my firs thought was "your something something something is increased by 0%, huh?". You have this on ammo where the popup shows how, for example, APCR penetration drops over certain distance. Why not implement similar information for skills? It's tedious, not fun and not user friendly to click every skill 10 times to se the full benefit, then reset and move on to another skill.

YourBestFriend_2016, on 26 February 2021 - 03:29 PM, said:   This suggest that you would listen to your players.   But allready for a year the player base says they did not ask for crew 2.0 and instead want balanced games. The fact that we now test crew 2.0 on the sandbox means by itself that you wont listen.


VarzA, on 26 February 2021 - 03:36 PM, said:   Sorry no. I don't know for how long you have been working for WG, but i have been watching this game company on/off for going on 10 yrs now and you are just plain wrong.   The UI of WOT is ... horrible, WG does not put this much effort in UI revamp for this, without planning for this to go through. This will go through, crew 2.0 is coming 99.99% sure. And 'changes are not final' is fancy way for WG to make sure the hate doesn't go up, leaving hope that things will change ... they won't, if they are committed to these changes they will PR their way into making them a reality and then it's 'fait accompli'.   Now, elitism aside, quite a few of us poor ppl, have 3 skill crews (which we consider advanced) at t10. In fact, while i may not be the best player, i can work with a 3 skill crew at t10. After these changes .... not anymore. I will have to overspend on snap shotting, safe stowage and other 1 crew member only skills even if i want to meet the same efficiency i had before, not to mention to get the full effect. They are not the same thing, you are focusing and answering stricly on levels and points, when you should know that some skills are more expensive than others.


DoomHerald, on 26 February 2021 - 03:44 PM, said: There are a lot of good things in crew 2.0, but there are also a lot of issues and misconceptions, which I will point out. 1. I feel literally robbed, when my 8 skills crew with BiA as a 0 perk gets converted. In the current version it is trained almost to the max, only some not very useful skills remain. So now I got trained about 85% of all skills and perks possible. In Crew 2.0 I get 75 skill points (plus some additional vehicle handling, yep), that are soooooo unsufficient! With instructors I can get up to 83 skill points, which is exactly 33% from 250. From 85% down to 33%!!! The roof must be much much higher, at least 150 skill points, which are 60% of 250. It may require more crew xp, but the limit must be much higher than 75. There are so many good and useful skills is 2.0, but I just cannot train them cos I need to sacrifice some essentials. Yes, I will get some additional VH, but this is not a variety at all. So my proposal is to increase the limit to 150 skill points at the cost of more crew xp required, and at the same time to reduce the additional VH to max 10% total. For talents - increase their price from 30 to 40 SP from the line, so one can have 3 at max. 2. I feel literally robbed, when all my crews with BiA as a 0 perk now become useless, their value is reduced to normal crews. Females from old Holiday ops or CW campaigns, males from marathon tanks. now are totally devalued. No no no!!! 3. Instructors, as the best of them are very limited, to get random skills - just NO! 4. Unbalanced new skills - some of them are extremely strong, some are almost useless. Also - Coherence gives 5% passive and constant bonus to VH, while there are 2 skills, that give less bonus (2.5%) and only on certain circumstances. Like, WTF?!?!?! Where is the logic in that?!?!?!


Akathis, on 26 February 2021 - 04:01 PM, said: Real money invested in crews training. Real money invested in barrack slots. Real money invested in crew retraining.

I would love to see another added, though: Offer the option to revert crews into experience that have perks at the moment. If you don't do that, I will find myself with a lot a crews that I have literally no use for, and on which I wasted a lot of time and crew books. Honestly, that's a bit of a make-or-break issue for me.

StahanoW, on 26 February 2021 - 10:17 AM, said:
Erm, I think some other major issues were addressed by the community, not just these two, like:
- 7.5 skills are just not enough, 10 what would be the sweetspot. I don't mind if the 75 level cap would increase to 100.
- Half of the skills are very situational and you can only use them in very cheesy situations
- The amount of XP loss when you try to train your commander to a different tank is insane when you are paying credits for it. The price is also a joke, because the same crew moving to a Tier I to a Tier II tanks is 500.000 credits, while the Tier II tank average price is around 3.500 credits, this has to be adjusted / level at least.
- The Vehicle Handling % loss (which is connected the extra 10% VH provided by the commander itself in Crew 1.0) bug still sitting in the system (while sandbox received some small updates)
- Talents are so situational, most of them are just deadweight

I already wrote down the goods sides, so I don't want to repeat myself (just because I don't want to annoy you). The count of major problems are 7, not just two. If these things could change in a better way... well I can live with Crew 2.0 . But not like this. I think the others are on the same opinion too (based on what I read mainly on EU and RU forums).

2 things came up my mind lately:
- What if crews could have tanktype based skills instead of situational skills?
- What if the 5 main category would be the same like Eqipment 2.0s categories?


SwiftScope, on 26 February 2021 - 10:20 AM, said:     Here we go, WG staff trying to polish the new crew system as good.   and btw the cake example is nice but irrelevant. you already baked the cake, we tasted it and it smell and taste like poop. crew 2.0 is already on sandbox and we are testing it. simply we don't like it. it is a big money grab and it make some already broken tanks even more OP. in the current crew system 4 skill crew is epic, more than enough to be competitive. in crew 2.0 we need big pockets to be competitive.   anyway i have premium tanks with special crew and i payed for both of them and invested a lot of them to make them decent crew. now you will take them against my will and transform them to special instructors that are nothing but a pile of RNG garbage and you will leave my premium tanks without any crew. when this crew 2.0 thing goes live be ready to refund me all the money i paid for premium tanks with special crew. This is the rule, if you touch premium tanks or any paid items players will be entitled to refund.   Be ready to lawyer up WG because soon the player base will demand a refund because you messed up with items we paid for.    


RedJester, on 26 February 2021 - 10:21 AM, said: I have not answered the poll because there wasn't an option for my opinion. 
I think the option: I like crew 2.0 but with some MAJOR changes should have been the 5th option. 
  1) Retraining crews to new tank should be left as is in current system firstly, not the new EXTORTIONATE system in terms of XP and credits - it is absurdly expensive. (500k credits and 660.700k xp SERIOUSLY... or nearly 2 million crew xp for so-called free?).    2) We should at least get xp for zero skill BIA crews when converted to instructors since we're all losing that perk from those crew we either paid or played to earn that we currently enjoy. 
3) There should be none of this RNG nonsense on perks for Instructors, allow us to select the perks and change if we desire at the very least if you're gonna take away our precious zero commanders. 
4) In reality someone with a 4 skill crew right now is going to be worse off after conversion in terms of skills, address this fact so we're not losing out in terms of skills after conversion. 
5) Perhaps consider that 75 skills is not enough and restrictive, forcing us to lose out in real terms compared to what we can have now. 
6) Perhaps talents should not be locked to one tree forcing 30 points into that one tree, and also should be resettable. 7) I am sure there are a few things I missed but others will have pointed them out.  8) Crew 2.0 imo could be great, but not as it is.   


Smoki_Bandit, on 26 February 2021 - 10:57 AM, said: Dear WG I have one observation relating to BIA vs Coherence Why did the successor to the BIA get a negative consequence in the sense that when the crew is injured or stunned it loses its value !? For example: take two identical scout tanks on Prokhorovka.Both have learned identical skills, including Coherence/Bia(in old system) to maximize spotting skill.   Both stand in a line of bushes and spot for their team, xyz meters away from each other (as far as it is just enough to stumble unhindered and so that they can shoot unspotted from the other scout)   Scenario 1: one scout blindfire and hits another, neither spot is spotted because there are double bushes between them.The affected scout withdraws from the position and incites spotting from another location where he is not so endangered as to survive and make spotting for his team.BIA non stop active and spotting range and hiding at the same level, neither is spot.   Scenario 2: same target same distance, same blindfire from first one (HE grenade). Another spotter has injured / stun crew members / set on fire.Coherence in the second scout ceases to be valid and performance, including concealment falls by some percentage, while in the second tank that made the hit those values remain. The first tank spot of the second tank, this one of course when spotted tries to withdraw and is exposed to fire of all enemy tanks in the rank + due to the hit this one fired been activcated the skill "Target Tracing" which makes it marked for an additional two seconds which further complicates the life of the spotted tank. In that scenario he will most likely be killed and thus the other team will get a huge advantage which often leads to victory.  


Hepo, on 26 February 2021 - 11:12 AM, said: Long time since I have posted anything. But going through all the info about crew 2.0, I wanted to give my suggestion how to handle the 0-skills/instructors. Maybe this has been suggested before, but I couldn't find.

For example I have a crew with Santa as a commander: When converting, calculate the experience of the whole crew and divide it by number of crew members (like this is currently implemented). But instead of converting Santa to instructor with random skill boosts, just give player opportunity to select two fully maxed skills for Santa (because in Crew 1.0 he had two free skills anyway). And remove other boosts instructor has, to prevent creating too OP combinations (like over 100% camo boost).
In my opinion, this would be the simplest system for players to understand and also work nearly identically for special crew members as it did before. This crew would have 2 zero skills as it did before and all the other skills are unlocked like with any other crew.


FrostBiil, on 26 February 2021 - 11:14 AM, said: Hi Wargaming   I have tested the crew 2.0 for a few hours now. It's a really good change, it helps new players a friend of mine like it he's having trouble understanding what to put on your crew. But it feels too random with the Instucter skills (i know it's not completely random), i feel you should allow people to choose the skills for themselves, fx. if i want to set up a passive tank and i want the "eyes open" for that tank you might not get it all of the times and then you have wasted that instructor. So please consider making that change with allowing people to decide for themselves and no semirandom perks.    - FrostBiil


HMS_Birmingham, on 26 February 2021 - 11:20 AM, said: Is there not a pinned post where WG can update us on changes to the SB crew 2.0?   I keep seeing sandbox updates but no news for their reasons? Is it to fix bugs or are WG trying to resolve players concerns by improving 2.0 ???    


Rakii, on 26 February 2021 - 12:09 PM, said: I have main problem with compensations / transfers / economy   1) 0-perk(s) should be compensated (or any skill including six sense) 2) We should be able to convert any crew to XP books 3) Bunks - many players paid real money or gold to get them so good amount of gold should be compensated. We didn´t pay for any Order 4) Directives - it´s a nerf - the best solution would be credit conversion (20k : 1) 5) Personal Training Manual -- it´s the most rare manual (not available for credit) It should be kept as legacy item for one time use on crew. 6) retraining / skill reset should be much cheaper and without loosing XP


Feoffle_der_Fachidiot, on 26 February 2021 - 12:15 PM, said: I am worried that we demand compensation for the zero skill perk, but WG don't give us the compensation it deserves.   The more skills you have on a "zero skill perk" crew, the greater the loss you suffer with this current conversion rate. The XP compensated should be equivalent to the next highest band of XP required to complete that perk, but I bet we get offered something equivalent to the first skill's XP requirement, which equates to a fraction of whatever the next skill would be in reality when you're at 4-5 skills.


Arty_Lerry, on 26 February 2021 - 12:36 PM, said: 2 days after the crew 2.0 release on sandbox.  Wargaming is shamelessly already posting and advertising for us - players, to buy Sabaton crew Primo Victoria tank, so that we can get 4 extra Class II instructors in the future. Very sneaky wargaming - actually not, rather rude and obvious way to show us that you are all about ''pay to win baby". I expect soon enough T1LPC Offspring, The Boys and whatever else to be in store before the update. Haha   Only 33 euro for useless tank but 4 class II instructors.

MrLovelyHat, on 26 February 2021 - 01:06 PM, said: Someone else posted this video, but here's the part which shows you can get +15% EXTRA crew skill after level 75: https://youtu.be/qS6sNTZnh9g?t=771   1. It will cost about $300. Per crew. Or literally 100s of hours per crew. Why should it ever be this hard or expensive to have a fully competitive crew? 2. This potential disparity between players is terrible for balance. It goes even deeper into the questionable "advantages for paying" philosophy. If paying gives advantages, those advantages should be capped for the good of gameplay. A full expertise +15%, premium tank with bond equipment, firing all gold...yuck? Someone in a T95/FV4201 with this crew against a newly arrived T10 player? I am a premium account player with some of those advantages, but I'm still often in the dust compared to a veteran with a great crew (and lots of playing experience - which IMHO should be the only advantage). 3. You can use this crew against new players in whatever tier you want. A Hetzer, LEFH or E25 with this crew? A KV-2 with insta swap shells with this crew...? Wrecking ammo racks and fuel tanks on noobs' tanks with vulnerability expert (because they don't have any skill points in "Safety Measures" yet...)   WG, do you want the game to be appealing to new players? Low tiers already have a lot of problems and this change seems to add to those problems. Crew 2.0 could be a great leveller - make it easy to re-spec, make progressing your crew exciting and fast - so they feel competitive. Don't make it so that veterans and people with a huge wallet get an advantage. It's possible to monetize this without it causing imbalance. There are enough excellent suggestions in this forum that Crew 2.0 could be great, simple and to the advantage of ALL players. I hope you have the will to do it WG...

Aber mir kann keiner erzählen das die Spieler, welche den Techtree als kompliziert empfanden, mit Crew 2.0 den Durchblick haben werden. Crew 2.0 finde ich im Übrigen auch auf den zweiten und dritten Blick kompliziert.

Das Selbe Unternehmen rechtfertigt im gleichen Spiel einfachere Techtrees damit, das die Alten zu kompliziert waren und entwirft dann diesen Schrott?
Das ist logische Argumentation und kein Whataboutism....   Hirntot ist keine Beleidigung, wenn man einen schlimmeren Zustand alles völlige Inkompetenz bezeichnen will. Aber gut, einigen wir uns auf massivste Inkompetenz oder einfach dümmer als Claudia R.

WG staff has been told that they need to only answer ''good questions'' to highlight people who like this new system. Sadly this crew moronic new system that u have created is hated by nearly everybody in this forum. People who come to these forums represent solid playerbase who care about the game. Sadly WG and its staff dont care about its players.   Can you please answer these questions - Do you personally think that it is a good idea to remove 4 tank crews and replace them with 1 tank crew?  Do you also think that is a good idea to remove all service history of tank crews? All the medals and 10 year history of tank crews? I really liked my special crew members like O'Treat and Simon Crews etc. The new system where u make them into ''instructors'' is load of cr*p imho


Turtle_Team, on 25 February 2021 - 09:10 PM, said: I'm a little confused, I have every tech tree tier 10 currently in the game, I don't need my crew to be able to drive 3 tanks as I already have crew in every tank. . .what's the best way to get the most out of the change? also I have 2 almost 6 skill crew in my Manticore but when retraining I only get 55 skill points, is the equivalent level needed to get 75 skill crew the same as a level 7 crew now ? is that even possible? or is it as the commander had 2 skills for free so they are just lost after the change?   21:13 Added after 3 minute nope my 6 skill crews are currently only converting to 55 skill points, some of my other 5 skills are only 50, I dont think crew with free bia or skills get anything for the free skill, might be a bug, my 4 normal skill crew got about 50 again, my head hurts trying to figure it out, and they changed the tech trees as people that play this game found following arrows too hard  


sutlasthetanker, on 26 February 2021 - 06:35 AM, said:   Here is constructive feedback;   - Please make skill categories same as equipment 2.0 which is firepower, mobility, scouting and survivability. So that there will be consistency between crew and equipment.   - Please put the skills in the correct categories. Concealment should be in same category as Eyes Open because they are both related to light tanks more than others. All skills regarding gun handling must be in the same category, such as Smooth Turret Traverse and Smooth Ride.


Trostani, on 26 February 2021 - 07:51 AM, said: This is so wrong. In current system step progression take place when you choose perks (that works when you reach 100%). When you choose skills (works from beginning depending from %) progression is linear and feel is MUCH better in old system than 2.0. On top of this if new player will manage to get 0 perk crew and exp 2 additional (relatively not so much of grind) he will have absolutely decent 3 perk crew. In new system in same amount of grind he will have 31 skill points that gives pretty much nothing. More in old system in most situations there is not much disadvantage when you use 3 perks crew and enemy have 5-6. In 2.0 similar discrepancy is devastating. Currently you just can't buy such advantage with your wallet, in 2.0 sky is the limit.

FAQ je výbornej, díky za něj pokud už se tam přímo vyloženě nelže tak jsou tam alespoň jenom polopravdy ...

jenom namátkou, věnovat tomu víc času je zbytečné: lež: A: Po investování 75. úrovně do  již nebudete získávat dovednostní body a veliteli se odemkne elitní postup (odborná kvalifikace) . S každou novou úrovní odborné kvalifikace získá posádka menší zvýšení ovládatelnosti vozidla. Většinou se však jedná o symbolický navýšení pro dobře vycvičenou posádku. proč: bonus za další postup přidá tuším až 20(?) bodů do ovladatelnosti, cožjsou minimálně 2 bonové ventilace, to je opravdu jenom takové symbolické navýšení a rozhodně to neotvírá nůžky mezi těmi co to zaplatí a těmi co ne ...   A: Ceny jsou ve srovnání se starým systémem o něco nižší. Pro jakoukoli operaci, jako je např. resetování dovedností pomocí kreditů, ne goldů. Všechny takové operace, které jsou přeneseny ze starého systému na nový, jsou levnějšími, když je porovnáme s cenami za jednu operaci ve starém systému posádky vynásobenými počtem členů posádky a cenou za novou posádku. proč: porovnáváte jablka s hruškama, už jsem to psal na FB : přeškolení dneska za kredity (v porovnání s cenou knížek je jakákoliv cena za toto směšná je 10% ze základu - tedy nějakých 40000XP, po novu bude těch 10% klidně i 1 000 000 XP (při slušném veiteli), i kdyby to byl nějaký lemrák bavíme se o vyšších stovkách tisíc ... to rozhodně není OK a ani levnější (tu ztrátu budu muset nahradit knížkama za miliony kreditů), dneska si dám pár bitev a 40k XP je na posádce hned zpátky - zde je jasný tlak na převod za goldy a to potom rozhodně není levnější než je teď (edit: ve smyslu, že teď převádět za goldy reálně nemusím, není žádný důvod).


vlastenec97, on 25 February 2021 - 02:30 PM, said:   "Nultý perk neobsahuje žádné zkušenosti".... ČOO?? Hodinami strávenými s tankami si hráči vyjazdia posádky z Mirny-13 a iných eventov, často patria medzi najlepšie posádky v garáži alebo čakajú na regrut... a vy ich skonfiškujete (premeníte v inštruktori) a dáte im niečo horšie? Veď zmena, nie?    Celý systém tých inštruktorov čo ste vymysleli úplne ničí celkom podarenú CREW 2.0. ZMAŽTE to kým nie je neskoro!   2: "vliv nové posádky na hru zvýší 1,5krát ve srovnání se starou posádkou."   A nie je to málo? Skutočne má mať posádka takýto vplyv na celú hru? Niektoré tie čísla perkov sú prepálené, ale prečo považuje WG za vhodné otvoriť medzi starou a novou posádkou tak obrovskú priepasť? Prečo?

Ne, není potřeba si tank kupovat.  Postupujte prosím následovně: Klikněte na kasárny a klikněte na „nábor“. Ze seznamu si vyberte tank, který jste prodali, ale je na něj vycvičená vaše posádka. Konvertujte posádku. Vyberte si tank.     Co když mám posádku z souboju velitelu např kranvagen ale ten tank jsem zatím neměl?Stějně jako Obj 140,T-62.

almandr, on 25 February 2021 - 03:04 PM, said: Reakce k FAQ: - systém tipů pomůže vybrat nejlepší schopnosti - pokud ho neupravíte, je mi líto nováčků. U 60 levelové posádky na Type 64 mi to doporučilo Coherence a open Eyes, což je ok, a pak 3 perky na pohyblivost, asi proto abych dostal talent. Zbylo 10 levelů a stejně mi to nedoporučilo maskování. To vážně nejsou dobré tipy. - instruktoři - tvrdit, že můžu zlepšit efektivitu posádky instruktory je sice pravda, ale zlepšení nechtěných perků díky náhodnému výběru ve výsledku posádku vlastně skoro nezlepší; Chuck a spol. nebudou nikdy hodnotnými instruktory, pokud k dobrému perku dostanou náhodný zbytečný - jsou degradováni na III. třídu - ceny - už to tu je - průměrná cena za přeškolení 100.000 kreditů a ztráta pár zkušeností v současném systému fakt není dražší než 500.000 kreditů a 10% zkušeností, naopak je výrazně dražší nový stav. U 60 levelové posádky zaplatím za přeškolení 7.000.000 kreditů pro zachování úrovně posádky přeškolení + víc jak 3 knížky po 2.000.000,- (nevadí mi cena, ale nesmyslná ztráta hromady expů )  - vliv posádky na bitvu - u posádek nad 70 level, spíš ještě výrazně lepších asi bude jejich výkon 1,5x lepší než je nyní; u posádek horších pod 40 level jsem přesvědčený, že budou horší než aktuální posádky - celkově mi uniká smysl, kdy dosažení použitelné posádky bude nejspíš náročnější než dřív, ale pak si můžu vytvořit supermanskou posádku (teda hlavně když vytáhnu peněženku a pořídím knížky, protože hraním to bude na vyšší tisíce bitev

Je to akorát tak frustrace pro lidi, co to zkouší, píšou sem, co je špatně a pak je to ignorováno.   Vylepšení systému posádek ANO Posádka 2.0 NE Sandbox mi akorát potvrdil, že to je špatný a potřebuje to předělat, tohle nemůžete přece vypustit na veřejnost.


SWAT0013, on 25 February 2021 - 03:36 PM, said:   Tohle je největší (EDITED) na celé té konverzi. Posádky s nultým perkem se dávaly jako odměny za spoustu akcí (které by jinak nikdo nejezdil nebo je jezdil v omezené míře), jako odměny za nejtěžší mise a posádky s nultým perkem se dokonce dávaly i jako marketingové lákadlo do balíčků. Celkově jste nultý perk sami zdůrazňovali jako největší přednost těchto posádek. Takže celý tento koncept náhle zahodit a ukázat hráčům vztyčený prostředníček je prostě pěkná sprosťárna od WG.   Místo toho abyste uznali, že to byla chyba, tak se snažíte obhájit krádež za bílého dne...

bbmoose, on 25 February 2021 - 02:43 PM, said:   I appreciate your kind and political correct answer, but I'm sure you get my point. It's not how detailed a survey or poll is, but about if people want something or not. There surely are some aspects of crew 2.0 that I may possibly like, but it doesn't outweigh the fact that I don't want a new system. I don't want to learn something new, or want to invest a lot of time in something that I didn't asked for. You want to change something that I am perfectly fine with. So what I like about crew 2.0 is not really relevant, unless you want to add it to the current system. I will have a choice that way; I could keep on playing like I did the past 7 years, or start using new skills/perks or adding instructors. And I know for sure that a big part of the community feels the same about it.   Why don't you guys do a survey before you develop a whole sandbox concept? I'm sure that this crew 2.0 wouldn't have been on sandbox if you asked your players about the crew system, because nobody ever asked for a compleet rehaul. It has never been a problem or issue in this game, in contrary with other subjects like arty, WV's, maps, matchmaker and game balance.

gunslingerXXX, on 25 February 2021 - 03:06 PM, said: Come on Dwight, you know 1 extra skill point on an instructor is useless. And I'm not even considering that point might RNG roll in a useless skill either.  0-skill crew was bought and earned to get up to speed without having to grind. Taking this away (replacing it by something useless is basically taking it away) is not cool.   Please don't pretend it make sense or that its fair, it is not.   


WigglyWorm, on 25 February 2021 - 03:06 PM, said:   Here is a problem in itself.   I haven't been able to answer any WG surveys since I started  running a modpack (an "approved" one).   The Survey will not go past the first question each time. I lose the ability to finish the survey if I restart the game in safe mode. One of the questions from the past in surveys is "Do you use mods ?". If others experience that issue, your survey results are going to be skewed.   So, yeah. Surveys are great and all.... as long as you can answer them.    


Trostani, on 25 February 2021 - 03:15 PM, said: It's true for retraining using gold.  If retraining for credits cost is higher but I could live with this (but 500k for new players is a lot). What about exp lost during retraining? I have good crew for progetto, if I want retrain it now for credits I'll lost additional % of base qualification (for 100% crew fixed amount, around 30k?) which I could catch up in several battles. On sandbox on top of 500k credits I will lost 1,8 MILLION exp. Retraining for free - over 5 Millions (!!!). How you can call this similar or lowered to current system?


teriaksu, on 25 February 2021 - 03:24 PM, said:   Dwight, do you consider this to be a healthy way of solving the problem ?  True, we didn't grind for that 0-perk, because WE PAID REAL MONEY FOR IT. That was the point! We paid REAL MONEY to gain an advantage over those who didn't cough up the dough.   Now you're taking away something we paid real money for (I keep repeating this idea, but I cannot stress this enough) and in return you give us more RNG. It's not a slap in the face. It's 3 slaps in the face, at least. 

In what universe is this acceptable?  I'd really like to understand the WG pov     Furthermore, the fact that WG considered this to be acceptable shows WG doesn't really care about what players think, it's all about the green. It doesn't matter if WG doesn't implement crew 2.0, other "ways" to milk the paying players will show themselves.   I really can't respect that.

 


SovietBias, on 25 February 2021 - 03:42 PM, said:   I'm sure you realise this is unacceptable.   And even IF one wants to consider the bonus points from instructor as a way to mitigate the loss, 4 instructors (max per crew) account for 8 RANDOM skillpoints, and only when your crew hits level 60. A full skill in the old system takes 10 skill points.   All this system accomplishes is to heavily nerf the most common 3-4 skill crews, then nerf BiA crews, and then proceed to remove the cap allowing crews at 75 skill points to grow beyond what could be possible before with 7-skilled crews.   Nice ideas with the new skills, I can even accept the extra 750 to train crews for multiple vehicles, but the rest is just widening the performance gap in order to monetize.
