Hedko1: Hallo zusammen,

Der Eröffnungsbeitrag gehört in die Frust-Therapie, deswegen mache ich den Thread zu. Bitte haltet zukünftig  die Tonart etwas konstruktiver.

MfG,
Hedko

Nohe21: *Eliminados algunos posts Off Topic (Discusión sobre sanciones).

Falathi:   Jedno się zgadza, czołg jest dla ogarniętych. 

Daroo2017: Zamykam nie widząć przyszłości dla tego tematu. [closed]

Nohe21: *Eliminados algunos posts por incluir temas políticos.

Jahrakajin:   Its my day off but I'll be back in the office tomorrow. I had a look at the Thread today and can see your points. For what its worth all I can promise that I'll review it and make a feedback report which then goes to our Product Specialist. Just as a disclaimer, meaning we (the Moderation Team) have forwarded your feedback doesn't mean that next Tuesday there will be immediate changes since the process is a not that simple. However I like to point out that this is also one of our tasks on a weekly basis and I appreciate when there is constructive posts (although memes but oh well) like yours on the Forum.  

Jahrakajin:   Nothing to overlook. Somebody has an opinion about a certain tank and expressed it on the Forum. Yeah it takes some punches under the belt but I would say we can live with those.     Having said that I would prefer if one of the tags could be removed. It is kinda on the edge. Has to do something about crayons.      

Nohe21: *Eliminados algunos mensajes subidos de tono y no constructivos. Tratad de mantener una conversación cívica y sin enfrentamientos.   Gracias.

TariboW:   Dzięki Patrol,    @Ziomalxxz Zapraszam pod podany link, zamykam.  

Jahrakajin:     This is the cheesiest joke I have read on these Forums so far.

Falathi: Grzebanie w ciekawych warstwach osadnictwa z zamierzchłej przeszłości proszę zostawić archeologom.       

MrConway:   I like this idea, I'll suggest it!

Falathi:   Powodzenia i wszystkiego najlepszego! Dasz radę. 

Jahrakajin: Zwiebeln und Pilze sind immer bei mir auf dem Grill Passt doch super zu nem guten Steak oder ähnliches!

Wysch: Nezáviď 

Jahpero: On reste calme s'il vous pla​ît...  

Jahpero:   La meilleure solution est de passer directement par le support:  https://eu.wargaming.net/support/ 

Jahrakajin: Wasn' los? Gegrilltes Gemüse ist doch super. Klar da muss auch Fleisch da sein aber Gemüse finde ich auch ganz gut

Daroo2017: Czołgiści (-tki)!!   Nadszedł moment, w którym chciałbym się z Wami pożegnać i podziękować za ten czas, za te wspólne ponad 8 miesięcy, podczas których miałem możliwość moderować m.in. Wasze forum. Odchodzę z Wargamingu.   Naprawdę fajnie było Was czytać, moderować tu i ówdzie czy chociażby kontaktować się przez liczne PMki, na które zawsze starałem się odpisywać. I dzięki którym też poznawałem Was i Wasze spojrzenie na daną sprawę. Mam nadzieję, że nie będe kojarzyć się tylko z terrorem editowym.    Porównując inne europejskie społeczności pod wieloma względami jesteście zdecydowanie najlepsi. Dlatego walczcie z WGie zawsze o swoje! Dziękuję raz jeszcze i do zobaczenia na polu bitwy    Pozdrawiam serdecznie!

Wysch: Hey, opičky, strčte si ty svoje xvm, když klikáte s houskama, víte kam. Fakt zábava bejt perma focusovanou top tier klikačem jen proto, že náhodou nemám červený číslo.

Jahrakajin:  

Closed.

Jahpero:   Et donc le topic est cloturé    --->  Topic "Suggestions"   Bonne journée à vous sur WOT !

Wysch: Jako celkem mě fascinují momentální nároky na Ace Tanker a MoE. Kažuálních skoro 7 tisíc dmg je jakože 2. třída s 1222xp. Asi to fialky trochu zvedly, no, dřív bývala za tohle první   Pro mě to keeper ale nebude. Chování děla je prostě random, někdy trefí nesmysle, někdy netrefí nic. Člověk je odkázanej na RNG až tak moc, že tank je často až frustrující. Obvykle si devítky nechávám, ale 1-4 to nebude. 

Jahrakajin: Holy crap I'm dying right now! The memes! The memes are becoming too stronk!

Jahrakajin:   Pls no!  

Falathi: Skoro wszystko wyjaśnione, to zamykam     PS Życzę powodzenia w załatwianiu sprawy!

Jahrakajin:   Nice, met Abrik on the GC but don't know the others besides the Forum. I am sorta in the same boat since I will try to attend the meet up but its a lot of traveling for me. And have to take days off 

Jahrakajin:   Oi! Nothing to see there! Move along!

How was Berliner meet up? Out of curiosity who was there? 

There is a planned meet up for November in Münster if you don't know about it

Jbnn: I will have to close this non-constructive thread.

Promoting anti team-play is not nice for any player. Nor for your team, nor yourself. 

Jbnn: Thread closed.

Have a nice day.

Asklepi0s: Moved to off-topic !

Jbnn: Bueno ya que la la duda está resuelta, cierro el hilo. 

Un saludo

Wysch: Sorry for butchering the English and for a long post. I doubt this point of mine will ever reach anyone. Hell, I'm not even sure if my point is right (or left, Kappa), but here it is:   The problem with matchmaking comes simply from the way Wargaming balances vehicles. All vehicles are (re)balanced basically from above, i.e. it starts with the tier 10 vehicle being competitive in tier 10 battles; and then gets to lower tiers.  The result is, that the tier 10 vehicles are basically overbuffed when compared to the tier 9s and 8s.  For example the previous overbuffs of T110E5, Maus and arguably now IS-7.  (Not to mention seriously broken Japanese Gojiras.) This results logically in tier 8s being completely underpowered when fighting against higher tier vehicles. Tier 8s have no armour, no health, no DPM, no gun handling... they basically have nothing to fight against higher tier vehicles. Thus when in tier 10 games facing top tiers they're basically relying on their team. We all know how it is with teams in this game in random battles.   The proper way how to balance vehicles is - with regards to current matchmaking - quite the opposite. Balancing process should start with lower tiers and keep progressing up towards higher tiers.  For example when a new player starts this game, they reach their first issue somewhere around tier 5. Tier 5 matchmaking is extremely cruel already - you meet plenty of tier 7s (and 6s!) that can kill you in two shots (or even one!). You have no health, you have no view range to spot the threat on your own, and even if you manage to get the gun singing, you have no gun handling to reliably deliver damage. Mediums and lights can usually count on their mobility and agility, TDs and artas don't care at all, but heavies suffer the most. You have no view range, no gun stats (horrible accuracy and soft stats) and you are basically really relying on your team or RNG to get the shot first hoping it would penetrate and do damage. Aiming is in current meta completely out of question imho.   When you move up the tier, it starts already be broken. Tier 6 MM is as broken as tier 8 - because the jump between tier 6 and tier 8 is as bad as between tier 8 and 10.  Also thanks to the "new" matchmaking system, the 3-5-7 doesn't help the lower tiers at all. Thanks to all the great tier 8 premiums, tier 6s are simply underpowered and have to way how to outperform for example a Skorpion G. But they lack even against regular tier 8s such as IS-3 or O-Ho. Similarly because of it the preferential MM vehicles are completely irrelevant now.    So my point is:  To fix the Matchmaking Wargaming first needs to fix the balance of the tanks. I.e. you buff vehicles on lower tiers, or nerf the vehicles on higher tiers with the performance of lower tiers in your mind. Rebalance their stats so the lower tier vehicles are competitive, can stand a chance against "balanced" vehicles such as Defender, Skorpion G or even a frickin IS-3.    If you don't want to rebalance the vehicles, the matchmaking really needs now more than ever a +1MM system. Players shouldn't be punished for having a vehicle that is simply not capable of outperforming a vehicle two tiers higher.    Because my English is really bad, what I basically mean is that the differences between tiers should be on all levels the same as the differences between tier 9 and 10. Basically for example comparing an M103 against a T110E5, WZ-1111-4 against 5A, M46 vs. M48, Leo PTA vs Leo 1 etc.  Comparing for example T32 against T110E5 and IS-3 vs. IS-7 you might understand what I mean with the balancing issue. 110 vs 113 or WZ 5A is a big joke, and we're not even talking about mediums - Panther II vs. E50m, Pershing vs. M48 etc.   The second thing the MM needs to take in count, is the oversaturation of TDs. It's totally mindblowing that a TD two tiers higher with superior camo, view range and ofc gun can be the only top tier (I'm talking about 3-5-7 battles where all three top tiers are TDs). I fully understand most of the playerbase can't comprehend some basic game mechanics, but an average player who knows about spotting mechanics and armour penetration mechanics can simply farm... and farm... and farm damage. Especially when we have such a great game design as the SWE TDs, Rhm Borsigs and such. I.e. what the current Matchmaking imho needs is an increased weight for TDs, so the TDs can't be all three top tiers in 3-5-7 or five in 5-10.  Similarly artillery shouldn't take two (or even three!) slots as top tier.    The game seriously needs more and more work, all the little F-ed up details such as map design, overpenetration of premium ammo, artillery stun mechanics, over-the-top SWE camo etc. in the end make one big problem, and two big problems make one even bigger. And so on. Wargaming has the resources to try new things with the current matchmaking and it shouldn't take two years to change things.  The current meta of the game punishes active and aggressive gameplay, which altogether with a 3-5-7 matchmaking leads to either extremely fast games (2:15 and such), or extremely campy (15 minutes draws happen imho more often now in my experience). I believe that with an improved matchmaking (weight of TDs and arta) and different approach to vehicle (re)balance, the current MM in its 3-5-7 and 5-10 platforms was a good decision.  Otherwise I'd personally welcome a +1 MM now more than ever.   Again, sorry for butchering the English and for such a wall of blabbering text.

Daroo2017: @_Shizo_ witamy w powrotem

Ph3lan:   Sorry to disappoint, but there is no nefarious intent behind every action we take Your list (while I don't agree with it completely) proves my point though. We have to be more careful when we implement new systems, hence the step by step approach with the bonds. Cherry picking things that went wrong is easy when we are talking about a game that has been around for 6 games. You are bound to end up with a couple of things that don't go according to plan. Maybe we could also come up with a list of things that went right at some point?    

Ph3lan:   Come on WunderWurst, no need to be this passive-aggressive about this, let's keep an open mind here  The point of them, as I said, is that it is a new form of currency. Initially we introduced them in Ranked battles only and people thought that only the best players will be able to use them and the improved equipment you could buy with them will give them an advantage over everyone else. This happened because we didn't communicate properly about our plans with bonds and that there will be other ways to earn them. That was our bad. As our devs explained (in the tankfest/gamescom streams for example) we went with the Ranked implementation first because of several mostly technical/development reasons. Since then we have introduced another way of earning them (Tier X only battles and Grand battles) and now we are testing earning them on medals as well. Once all the ways are implemented and the bond economy is balanced it should work just like credits and XP, where everyone can earn them but at a rate which depends on their battle performance.    Grand battles: I have seen a lot of feedback about them and people definitely seem interested. It is a completely new game mode and we might polish it more with upcoming patches, but I don't see any reason why you would think that they are dead. Our devs have access to all the data about the mode and if changes are needed based on that data and your feedback than we will make them, however at this point it is I think too early to tell.     

Ph3lan:   I didn't want to imply that it is "good" or "bad", I wanted to point out the fact that changes like this might look relatively easy to implement, however they are in actual fact very complicated and have wider implications than most people would think. World of Tanks is quite a complicated system under the hood and tweaking one aspect of it can have an effect on seemingly unrelated parts of the game. So these kind of changes have to be carefully considered  I'll share this idea with our devs though, who knows, they might have already considered this already. If this is something you are really interested in, pop into the chat of one of our next Q&A streams with the devs and ask about this (I'll try to remember asking this as well in addition to putting it in my feedback report)    

Ph3lan:  

Ph3lan: We have seen a lot of people comment on this and we will make sure to report it to our dev team. However please bear in mind that: 1. This is only one of the ways to earn bonds (in addition to Ranked matches and Tier X only (Tier XII) matches. 2. This is still in the testing phase and the numbers are subject to change.  

Ph3lan:   The idea behind bonds is that we will make them available to everyone, that's why we are introducing more ways to get them. Once the whole system is implemented and working as intended it will work basically the same way as with credits and XP. Good players will earn it faster, but ultimately everyone will have access to them. 

Berbo:   Technical defeat only comes if your team wasn't ready or in case if you took a tank tier which wasn't allowed. For example in T8 tournament you ready up with T10

dies_ari:   In einem der nächsten Updates, mehr konnte ich aus dem Produktspezialisten nicht rausquetschen

Ph3lan:   Thanks for your honesty
