You know, Mr. Publishing Producer, I read your every answer and it's alarming how unprofessional you are at some instances (I don't mean to offend you, but you should really look back and consider your behavior, as you speak for the company and it puts really bad light on it as a whole right now.). I understand WG has corporate politics, tries to save money, etc., but there's a line which should never be crossed and it unfortunately was crossed, since you have no proper backup plan for these situations, and trust me when I say this but every normal global gaming company has some sort of backup plan in case their main dev center is out of commission, their communication is limited in some way, etc. Normally, these backup plans and technologies associated with them are put in place by people who oversee higher management, publishing, development, marketing, etc., basically higher positions, but hey, who knows how it was in your case, maybe company just didn't want to invest in it or never gave blessing for such basic things, would be nice to find out one day.   It's understandable covid limits devs since they have to work from home, it's understandable your company is also a victim of political shenanigans, however, what is not understandable is how badly you people handle announcements about how these things affect your company. I have been around your game since 2012, I saw its golden age and its fall from grace (Tons of reasons why, maybe I will tell you one day.), and all communication I had with your company, be it via announcements, support or other channels has been seriously lacking in approach, depth, transparency and straightness. So sorry when I say this but if someone is attacking your company because of current situation, look back and think about how mismanaged your company's communication and treatment was over the years. I am not defending people and their attacks, but I am also not defending your statements, simply because I find them either unprofessional or insufficient in formulation or information.   My honest opinion, nothing more.

grasho, on 12 August 2020 - 06:36 PM, said: Eek   As ever, thanks for taking the time to engage.  I won’t waste time rehashing old arguments where we are not going to agree but I will cherry pick on very enlightening comment you made.   Negative answers are checked and noted, but for the most part there's even more checking into that feedback on... is this player a supporter or someone who is just giving negative feedback until they get free stuff? etc   This actually explains a lot of the destructive behaviours I have seen from WG on these forums.   I have obviously been put into the “ignore this dweeb, he is just after free stuff” pigeon hole.  My view will only ever count if I am positive; I will only get a response to my posts if I agree.   If anyone looked at my account, they would find 240 tanks, 10 unused garage slots, more premium tanks you can shake a hairy stick at (102), sufficient credits, a little bit of gold, probably about ten thousand unused personal reserves / directives / customisations / blueprints, more (100%) crews than tanks, 100k free exp and every tank fully equipped (well, until 2 weeks ago).  You will also see I have ground my way to the Chimera, ground every Tank Rewards, and ground a lot of marathons.  I ground almost every tier X before blueprints made it easy.  
  I have done everything the hard way.   I have even put forward ideas for resolving the contentious issues that fell out of Equip 2.0, taking into account the need to minimise the impact on WG.   Does any of this sound like the actions of a freetard or a troll?    


BRONSON1972, on 12 August 2020 - 06:43 PM, said:   Nope it does not, they should of given players the same amount of dismount kits as they had tanks currently in the garage that would of been the fair thing to do, and not implemented so many radical changes to the game all in one update, free stuff is no use to me while I am not playing the game I would sooner have the game as it was previously, I wouldnt be wasting my time here and would be playing with my clan and enjoying the game.

Mr_Missclick, on 12 August 2020 - 05:33 PM, said: I didn't see any positive post saying 'It's a great one! Go for it' at my lang-version forum. The most positive posts said 'Meh, it doesn't change anything... so I don't care'. Others called simply a trash thing. If that 'Meh, it doesn't change anything... so I don't care' is a positive feedback for you, then it would be clear why you say it's been approved by the community. And YouTube + FB page was flooded by negative comments too. It's really hard to convince players that the majority likes it... when the majority stays obviously silent. You are just going to start another shitstorm this way. I don't say you didn't received any positive feedback... I just say there is no positive feedback visible and you should understand it before you will try to convince anyone about your point of view.    From my side, the Equipment 2.0 system is not as bad but the conversion and communication was done miserably. WG claimed that the new system will simplify things and it will be lots easier to understand. However, I see questions every single day. The content team had to release tons of toilet-paper-length articles to explain how it's going to work.. and still, there remains unclear why some pieces of equipment cost 200k and some 40k even though tanks are at the same tier. Nobody knows how exactly the newly added equipment works (e.g. CVS). You can't even compare its effect directly in the Equipment UI (and this was pointed out at CT). The update 1.10 definitely needed more time to gather data & feedback and it especially needed more love from devs. It seems to be developed and released in a hurry to be honest and it made the game confusing and less predictable (especially newbies have to be confused) - e.g. the gun rammer - sometimes +10%, sometimes +11.5%, sometimes +12.5% and sometimes +13.5%... how the hell are you supposed to predict the enemy reload?

well loose of f4 and f5 is a huge let gown to me. really dont think that many players would want them to be removed.. About trust. Problem isnt fails. Problem is how you react to them. All those times when you are late to publish weekend specials details, o even publishing them after special start.. or like when people for years are saying that mines are not balanced map, or those pure UP tanks that are forgotten for years while you cancel 430u nerfs knowing it is OP, or 279e buff.. and so on.. or big difference in servers like now RU is getting special, EU somehow gets nothing..   As for act5 i can really understand that you have problems and thats is fine but you also should understand why some players are frustrated. You told them to mark this date they waited and now you postponed it while prem shop offers do not stop.. We are customers we pay to you money and now you say sry just wait.. Imagine if i would buy a tank from your shop then some technical issues happen in my bank and you wouldnt get money or payment would be cancelled. What would you do? You probably would ban account until i will pay and you wouldnt care whos fault it is right?   All in all like one said just give something to players it arent t their fault too but they pay money to you/ What about some more demount kits for creds?

Sadly in my personal opinion outweighed by everything else - but that''s just my opinion. 


Erwin_Von_Braun, on 12 August 2020 - 05:10 PM, said: That's an incredibly long-winded non-answer to a question. I have been playing this game for some years now & I have never encountered a situation where the player must pay to facilitate a change. When the camo system was re-worked, everything was adjusted to suit - I even got my old camo back for long since sold tanks. Now, in order to be even vaguely competitive, I must spend literally millions of credits - how is that in any way fair?

Frontline was bugged from the start with an error counting down the progress + cap possitions where people couldn't be shoot and they could hold the base + tanks going under the map beeing useless! 2.

That invisible tanks in Road to Berlin? [or the bots that just stayed AFK]! shall i add the chat issues? the cancell of last Halloween? Unable to add tank when joining stronghold battles? Postpone january campaign and it was announced 1 day before? Interface issues after 1.1/ almost after each majore update there is an patch a few days after solving one or the other! Thanks for adding copy paste tanks [Primo victoria-Strv81 or heavy tank nr 6/Tiger 121 and i got a lot more going on].... Remember the update 1.9 that took hours more as beeing expected for the servers to start! More and more, just did not write down at that moment! But i can't remember one in the past year without issues/bugs! BTW there are still sites that sell illegal mods, and it seems they work like a charm, some say with the payed mods WG doesn't ban and some even assume the developers get some extra money selling them aside [it's just speculation]!  


Sesrex, on 12 August 2020 - 05:23 PM, said:   Isn't it a little amateurish to try and single out users who are dissatisfied and paint the picture that they are only two?   Because lets be honest, the overall picture is that Wargaming EU staff are not taking players' feedback on board, and as I had predicted over a week ago, the complaints that quite a number of players had made were completely ignored by WG EU. And despite your best efforts you are actually only reinforcing the opinion of forum users that Wargaming are completely disconnected from the opinions and considerations of players.   Trying to single out forum users, confrontational and demeaning posts etc. also doesn't paint you in the best light does it?    Of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but don't expect players to tow the party line just because you have to.   Over 300 pages of complaints on the russian forums are testament enough to the dissatisfaction of players with patch 1.10. Let's not consider complaints on the EU forum.

I will highlight this quote made by Dwigt (an official WG representative) in the “We slashed the price of premium vehicles” topic:   “These decisions are made way in advance and planned for the 10 years anniversary celebration not in a week.”   If this is true, then someone senior in WG must have made the decision to reduce the future performance of Battlepass equipment (so it gave a smaller performance bonus than Bounty Equipment) whilst WG was advertising that Battlepass equipment would give a bonus equal to Bounty Equipment.   WG have been fraudulent.  It might not have been intentional (the different teams may not have coordinated) but the end effect is still fraud.        


grasho, on 12 August 2020 - 09:08 AM, said: I just found this in another forum when Sael was challenged about WG not listening:     @Sael   That is a pretty good rewriting of history and misrepresents the facts.  We are not complaining about Equip 2.0.  We are complaining about the losses and broken promises.   And you are not listening.  You are trying to ignore us whilst sharing the lie that we are negative about the equipment and, therefore, can be ignored.   So I again ask you to publish the survey / feedback where players asked for WG:   to force players to decrease the value of demounted equipment by 40%. to reduce the effectiveness of Battlepass Equipment. to charge gold to demount nets and binocs. to limit demount kits so the lack of demount kits prevents players from benefitting from the new equipment.   You can easily shut us up: provide the evidence that the majority of players asked for the above.   Or will you do your usual?  Ignore us, misrepresent us, hide, lie to us, then tell us you are listening?    


BRONSON1972, on 12 August 2020 - 03:21 PM, said:   Take a look at the majority of posts on this topic, most are complaining about this update, hardly anyone wanted it or likes it in the playing community, so they didnt listen to the majority of players.

Oh, you’re right about timetables and content.  However, as an ex-developer, ex-PRINCE2 project manager and as an ex-ITIL Release manager, I would suggest that Industry Best Practice is to know the content and resources available before you agree a timetable.   If your project plan allows you to suddenly, a few weeks before a major release, change the solution, then it suggests that the planning has gone awry and that you had waste (and therefore unnecessary cost) in the project.  I don’t think any Project Manager would want to admit that.   Now, “rapid‘ and ”agile” application development methods can give you more flexibility, but Dwigt’s response (things being decided months ago) suggests a company with a more conventional control culture.  However, I could be wrong, in which case there was plenty of time (6 weeks or so) to identify the contentious areas and mitigate them, either through changes to the solution or by engaging with the customer to explain why the upside of the changes are greater than the downsides (this is my ICT Customer Relationship experience coming through).  This did not happen.   You are right that they didn’t listen to me.  They also didn’t listen to (or engage with) anyone else who expressed concerns about the Equip 2.0 conversion process or the Improved Equipment situation.
  Instead, they let it fester and fuelled the resulting backlash.  Sael, Dwigt et al failed to manage customers, failed to engage, failed to explain and, ultimately, failed their employer by not handling a difficult situation.   I might not agree with what Eekeeboo posted, but at least he tried.

I spent ten years on the customer service front line, facing up to customers and suppliers as needed.  My customers were used to never being challenged, were trained to kill, and had access to high-tech weaponry .  My job was to engage with them when they were very upset and angry, and to defuse the situation by either telling them how they were wrong or by telling even scarier people on the supplier side that they were wrong.   So I have quite a bit of experience in this area.  I am not intending to be nasty to the WG team with my views; I’m highlighting poor behaviours that need to be addressed if they are to provide a benefit to their employer and gain the respect of their customers.   I want the forum team to excel.

Hardly any of them are playing it now, and those that do are not staying on long any how as there is no one for them to team with, none of the members I spoke to said they were going to spend money on the game anymore. No not you in particular all staff, if you predicted the backlash from this update why did you not warn them against it ?  I want nothing more than to play this game again but the changes are too many, too soon and none are good in my opinion, if they implemented them over a period of time and compensated those of us who had been playing longest, also too much change all at once is a lot to have to learn for a lot of my clan, most of my clan are aged 55 - 70+ , its more of a retirement clan, we don't like change especially when its not nice and all at once.

Thanks for answering me.
I didn't quite understand your answer, but I'll try to use your metaphor.
You see the spoon, but not the moon of my speech.
As I said the problem is not free or paid things.
The problem is the number one rule of games, whether they are free or paid.
Don't touch the progress of the players.
Every time I sit at the table of WG Restaurant, I don't know what I find to eat, I don't know how to eat it because you give me a fork (I want to broaden your metaphor ... sorry) to eat the broth. I pay at the beginning of the meal, and in the end I didn't eat what I ordered.
All this bring in new hungry customers?
And will you be able to enlarge your restaurant?
I don't believe.
I want to tell you something ... as you know I'm an old man and old people always have something to say.
When people start playing a video game, Game developers, UI and UX designers have to facilitate something called, "emotional peak", which happens in the very first moments of the game ... it's like when you fall in love.
Do you really believe that tiers 1/2/3 with the new system ... will fall in love with this game ?? having less equipment and fewer credits? with an MM that will punish them compared to higher tiers who have more and better equipment?
WG you don't have to force me to spend the money, you have to make me fall in love with your kitchen and your recipes, clear and at the right price. Thanks again for your time.

Is it because the hundreds of euroes ain't enough or do you think we are milked dry?

And your response regarding camo/bino/tools are not free to demount, well I have no words. You actually want to force players to use specific equipment or what?    But keep digging Wargamings grave:
 


grasho, on 10 August 2020 - 03:14 PM, said: Just think how much hassle, forum hijacking, bad feeling, poor PR, firefightIng, wallet closing etc. that WG could have avoided if they had just demounted and refunded equipment right from the start.   Just like we suggested the moment they announced the Equip 2.0 sandbox...   What is the number one discussion in August?  The tenth anniversary of a great game?  Or the greedy milking, tone-deaf, stubborn, idiotic money grasping company with a dying game.   How come WG’s PR department never saw this coming? 


geekuma, on 10 August 2020 - 04:13 PM, said:   I think they didn't have much of a word in this. Or they have been hypnotized by spinning Excel sheets and well-animated PowerPoint presentations to believe that this change was something players actually wanted.    Thinking about my own past experience with unpopular software updates, I would put my money on someone with an ugly tie and high level PowerPoint sorcery skills who made the decision without and refused to listen to the WG foot soldiers (devs, coders, testers, designers, community members, etc.). And to show solidarity towards the company (not to get fired) these people have to also defend the views of this tie wearing marketing creature (I try to be funny here), despite their own personal or professional opinion on the matter.    It's a horrible feeling when you have to defend your manager's questionable decisions, trying to make them sound nice. I've been there, too. Just have to bite my tongue and save my comments for the next internal discussion round. And if we players can give them some well reasoned opinions, we will make their job so much easier. I wish some of the fellow commanders in this forum would be a bit more respectful with their feedback (even when I can fully understand their frustration). WG people reading these forums are not the ones who make the big business decisions.    It's a good question, that who did that business decision. And would that person/those persons be able to re-evaluate this whole patch idea based on players' feedback, and maybe even come up with a more player-friendly and less sucking-players-wallet-empty approach.    gl&hf, geekuma

Why should I spend MY resources to facilitate a change that YOU are making?   For the record, I'm generally in agreement with the majority of Equipment 2.0 - but the implementation was a farce.    I've had WoT as a permanent fixture of my SSD since I started playing - no more - I will not participate in a game run by people that treat their paying customers with such contempt.

That's 8 years of hard toil. I have gone through thick and thin with Wargaming over the years. I have spent a small fortune on premium tanks and premium time, loot boxes etc. 84 premiums or there abouts. Despite the garbage matchmaker, and other changes to the game such as OP premiums, corridor maps, etc etc. I have stuck with the game time and time again.   But I have to draw the line with patch 1.10. I and MANY others are furious with the direction Wargaming are taking this game in. Equipment 2.0 is an utter disaster. Nobody asked for it, nobody wants it. Some players have questioned me, saying that some players like it. Well, I have seen very few that do like it commenting on the forums in support of equipment 2.0. In fact the majority that are commenting on the forums HATE this patch.   Removal of free movement of Binos etc, is a pure money grab, NOTHING more. Its got croc all to do with making sure players make the right choice when fitting equipment.   Removal of slots for low tiers is even worse. How do you expect new players to stay playing, once they find out they will have to meet all those tier 4 and 5 tanks that are outright better than them. Not only will they have to play against tanks that are a higher tier then them. But now the tier 4 and 5's will be better equipped too.   As for the new battle communication. That is a complete joke.   All that was needed was to get rid of old unused equipment, and introduce some new ones. Nothing more, nothing less.   #Walletclosed #Game stays uninstalled


Unicorn_of_Steel, on 11 August 2020 - 07:54 AM, said:     Interesting pattern....Discrediting posters, even accusing them, making it clear they don't matter to you, asking for facts while not giving them yourself, trying to muscle people to change their choice of words.    By know it should even be clear in Minsk that the problem mainly is the limited number of demount kits, the work involved for players with large garages and the possible negative impact in terms of generating enough credits for the players with a rapid growning garage. Its not the change itself, its the way it has been implemented.   If you (WG) had taken this feedback more seriously (or at all) you could have made some small changes before implementation and the majority on this forum just might have been straight out positive... Now what is left is the image of a company that does not listen or does not care and only looks at the (percieved or real) money grab part of it.  


Flint_74, on 11 August 2020 - 09:23 AM, said:   To be fair though, if WG had actually properly converted ALL installed equipment to suit the class/tier of tank in which the equipment was mounted, instead of taking the lazy money-grabbing option of converting most/all of it to Class 1 equipment suitable only for the top couple of tiers of vehicles, then the question of the lack of demount kits possibly wouldn't have been such an immediate issue, because by and large people wouldn't have needed to remove any existing kit unless they subsequently decided to alter a particular tanks loadout to make use of the new equipment types.   In fact there are some key questions in all this;   1: Just how many players have now tried any of new equipment on their tanks/vheeled wehicles? 2: How many of those players who tried the new equipment then decided to switch back to a pre-1.10 loadout? 3: And how many players simply kept their pre-1.10 loadouts and haven't yet tried any of the new equipment for whatever reason?     Good for you; but while you're pulling up that ladder, maybe keep in mind that not everybody can actually afford to "buy the odd bit of gold"... especially at the present time with all that's going on in the world.

I can’t reply for everyone, but I can offer my own experience.   1.  I am reviewing the equipment on 2 or 3 tanks a day (I have ~240) in tiers 2-8.  I am not looking at (or playing) tiers 9 and 10 because the equipment is too expensive and credit loss to great.  I want my lower tier tanks equipped before I use any remaining silver on equipment for the top tiers.
  2.  I will not switch back: if I make a poor choice, I will live with it.  The cost in gold and the stingy number of demount kits is a huge deterrent from changing equipment once the equipment is loaded.  Eekeeboo is free to tell me I will not be having fun by using a fork to eat chocolate (or some other confusing analogy).  I will just mock his support for the decisions that cause this situation.   3.  About half of the tanks I have reequipped so far have a different equipment choice than the pre-update setup.  Once the measly pathetic demount kit ration runs out, I’ll stop mounting equipment and mothball the unequipped tanks.  These will typically be the higher tier tanks, pushing me into seal-clubbing areas.  
  But, hey, WG think this will improve the game...

grasho, on 11 August 2020 - 06:43 PM, said: A good survey would be more neutral.   Instead of “Do you like getting spotted more?” (negative bias) or “Do you like being able to spot campers?” (positive bias).   A good survey would ask something like, “The new Commander Vision System (CVS) changes the spotting mechanics making it easier to spot enemies whilst making it harder to hide from enemies.  On a scale of 1 (Bad) to 6 (Good) please rate the CVS.”
  Unfortunately, as WG won’t publish its surveys, we can only speculate on the approach WG use.  Do we trust them to not build a bias into their surveys?  
I suspect they are biased, as one of Eekeeboos (spelling?) answers on the Equip 2.0 changes suggested that some players did not like people demounting binocs for free.  How would a majority of responders put that as a major concern in a neutral survey?   If a majority of players felt it was unfair, it would have been all over the forums.

You are articulate, you ask us to remain on topic - rightly - then you drift off and talk about tonnes of chocolate. You have the political skills , to reply in a bland manner without saying anything , always maintaining the party line.   So-   >Eeekaboo   "That's why you're encouraged to learn to adapt and not just use 1 thing across the whole board and expect it to work for everything, this was the point of the changes to increase the adaptability and customisability and choices for equipment. And at lower tiers, you know they were changed to be simple also. I wish you luck on one day finding a way to open your wallet on something you like, until then feel free to keep spamming it, it won't change the sentiment of change for the many, not the loud minority "     What is encouraging to learn and adapt ? I find out looking at higher tier TD's the ones with the extra % slot 1 to find that there is no advantage to using Bino's or Camo Net. However of the equipment changes one of the most significant ones is - the added ability to spot through foliage, i.e. to reveal more easily the hidden TD's. To counter that an increased bonus for Camo Net % or perhaps Binos to sit even further back would have perhaps retained the same (or close) meta. However this is not allowed - QED the main attribute of TD's is eroded - lying in wait undetected. Instead the ability to use FIREPOWER related equipment gains the +   Everyone follows so far.... As in I have 36,000 battles + in my TD's and overall 58% win rate and now I am being shown that I should concentrate on using a rammer in them and clearly Camo Net / Binos is the "Wrong" equipment as you have already explained with other set ups.   BUT The inconsistency in that the lower Tier TD's  - you know where new players Learn the game , maps, tank types etc etc..... are NOT allowed to even use a rammer !   Now you can state that removing the option to mount / demount camo net binos and toolkit is to discourage bad equipt set ups -but you are not stopping anyone from doing so....   You are stopping TD's from using a Rammer.   You see what you did there ? Using a justification which cannot be consistent.   Far better to admit that actually over time it is monetisation. Honest and fair - its a free game has to be paid for somehow - but trying to argue that instead it is about educating the TierX player base ?!   >Eeekaboo "One of the changes you ask for on trying out the equipment combinations, you can get an idea of, with a system that highlights the changeso on the right hand side of you screen, showing you the exact changes, something that you didn't have before, so you have it there. "   No , Not me. I can use the tank comparator tool and since it was brought in always have.   I just want to be able to use equipment in all tanks and to be able to use the same equipment. For all those that have not many games and low on credits that are grinding Tiers they will suffer - no equipment.   I know many players who would get a new tank , including Tier X and try it out. That includes adding Camo Binos and Toolkit as they may just hate the tank.      


grasho, on 10 August 2020 - 12:01 PM, said: I’ve been think about Eek’s response to me, and I think it is suggesting new players are more likely to stay (and buy) if they had a better understanding of the game mechanics.   This got me thinking about my own experience when I started playing, and what encouraged me to stay.   Improving my performance by understanding the mechanics, role, equipment, maps etc. has never been a factor.  I still don’t understand all the mechanics after 93k games (for example, I’m a good scout player, but I’ve only just realised the significance of having a view range that is greater than 440m).   I stayed be because it was fun.
  I remember learning “don’t cross the centre line” on Prok in my (then tier 3) BT7.  But now tier 3 tanks never experience Prok: it is Mines, Himmelsdorf and Abbey.  We had map variation, which made the game fun.   The maps had hidden paths and unintended routes.  We could find those and exploit them.  It was fun.  Now all maps have hidden barriers forcing players into corridors.  That is not fun, it reduces variation.   Protection for newbies was missing.  Being able to rofl-stomp was considered a good thing.
  Unbalanced maps. It was never a problem and sometimes you gained, sometime you didn’t.  Murovanka’s magic forest was brilliant, sniping from the north or manoeuvring and using the dips in the south to flank the snipers.  
  Scout matchmaking.  You haven’t lived until your tier 4 light destroys a tier 10 heavy.  It also taught you how to handle lights so you could avoid incoming shots.
All of these examples can be grouped together as “variation”.   There are many more examples of how the game was fun and kept me hooked (and spending).  Those fun factors were all removed by successive “improvements” and the game is becoming more “corporate” (for want of a better phrase).  It has become consistent, predictable, technical, bland...   If you want to attract more new players and retain the old players, bring the variation back.

Like was predicted last week the argument is going to be only a small percentage are dissatisfied with the amazing patch on EU servers.   If you are so sure of this why not just do an in-game survey for all players? That will giove you the statistics you need. Of course you won't do that though, will you?   Irrespective oif whatever the personal opinion of EU wargaming staff and shill accounts, the deciding factor is, and always was, the RU player base.    Personally speaking, I would disregard any feedback you get from staff here, it's all conjecture anyway, and wait to see what the actually WG decision makers in Minsk decide to appease the Russian players.

geekuma, on 10 August 2020 - 12:51 PM, said:   Dear eekeeboo,   While your answer was to ibrox3, I want to notify one thing, which I also wrote to the Bugs and Technical Issues thread (under the GUI Equipment). This preview feature you mentioned, is indeed very handy and I like it a lot. My sort of an OCD-ish love for figures, numbers and classifications is very happy about the numerical values and the extra details in the hover-over.    Unfortunately there's one but. The but is that this window-shopping is possible only, if a player has enough credits or bonds to buy the equipment. If a player doesn't have enough credits or bonds, he/she won't be able to preview its effect on the tank either. I'm sure you understand, why people would like to preview also equipment, which they at that moment can't afford. The standard ones (credits), the bounties (credits) and improved equipment (bonds) - all of them.  Edit2: I have to make a factual correction here. It is not possible to window-shop any equipment, even if there is enouch credits. The equipment slot has to be empty, thus dictating removal of existing equipment. Dear WG, please change this, that a player can test-fit any equipment as they wish, and the changes are applied at the end. You know, the same way one can test-fit different camouflages, emblems and so on in the Exterior window. That would be actually practical and improve the gaming experience.      While it's nice to do window-shopping for all the obvious reasons, it also gives a short-term target to save credits/bonds up for this certain kind of equipment, don't you think? :-)    gl&hf,  geekuma    Edit: Corrected my mindflow induced English, and added a link to my related post.  Edit2: 11/8/2020 Added updated information based on findings.

I find it a bit odd that none mentioned (that I'm aware of) their opinion about bino's etc. not free to move around anymore. I find it odd that none mentioned that for tier 8+ lots of equipment units will become more expensive.  When I notice (in my perception) odd behaviour I quickly think other things are happening/being manipulated. Maybe I sould be less critical. I can assure you this is not about spreading misinformation (at least not on purpose)

heres the rub tho you havent been effective and its plainly showing now. this game is in the terminal decline stage now. by that i mean theres no new players to replace the old and the bored so what do we get a grubby money grabbing company that tries to bend its loyal supporters over a barrel to extort every last penny, and for what? wargaming has been laughing all the way to the bank selling us crap pixel tanks for the price of a real game and we keep falling for it.

geekuma, on 10 August 2020 - 10:19 AM, said:   Thank you, eekeeboo. I always appreciate it, when I get feedback from staff or community members :-)    I am not disagreeing with the fact, that every business needs to make money. I am disagreeing with the business decisions, which have unfortunately destroyed the reputation of Equipment 2.0. After these few days of playing I have really gotten into liking the new equipment to play with. They really add new and usable options to the game.    Because it could have been made in a more player-friendly way. I have suggested the alternative approach: replace all the equipment on players' tanks with the best equivalent and give players the remaining difference in credits back as credits. That would have helped with the acceptance of the change and the credits on the saldo would have encouraged more active in-game economy. It's just like in the real life: when governments give tax-payers tax returns, tax-payers are going to feed that money back into the economy and boost it.    Making Binoculars and Camouflage net fixed equipment, and therefore forcing users make more purchases has also caused a lot of bad blood in the player base. There has been nothing wrong with this solution for 10 years, so why change it now? Creating different classes of Binoculars and Camouflage nets (like now has been done) was not forcing to change them into fixed equipment at the same time.    And lastly, the measly number of 30 Demount kits in return to player... That literally feels like an insult to all of us older players with a lot (more than 10) tanks. We have spent a lot of money in the game over the years, and this "gesture" just makes us feel very unappreciated. It's almost like Donald Trump's recent phone call to billionaire and major Republican supporter Sheldon Adelson, where he was complaining not receiving enough support (he has been donating at least $100m to Trump's re-election campaign). While it's a nice idea to help new players to get into the game, the execution of this idea has slapped the oldest and most loyal players straight onto their faces.    Edit: As a business analyst myself I know there has been a lot of Excel woodoo and shiny PowerPoint slides being tossed around before making those business decisions. And to me it seems that whoever made the decision, just simply doesn't understand the player base. It does not help a bit, that on paper no player is losing any credits (because of the replacing gear and the resale value of them). My suggestion above would have also been performed with the exact same number of in-game credits, but it would have boosted the in-game economy instead of stagnating it and causing rejectful feelings in the most loyal player base. It is still not too late to change this. There is a ton of equipment still waiting to be demounted in the next patch, there is still time to withdraw the bad decisions, there is still time to say sorry and try again with a better attitude towards players. I can only hope, that someone in the management with a big enough tie will listen to this and show some common sense. Making players like the game will make them pay for it. Trying to force players to pay for the game will make them disappear. Simple as that.    I want to repeat again, that I am not blaming the WG foot soldiers, like developers, coders, testers, customer support or community members for any of this. You guys have the unpleasant job of taking the heat from the player base and trying to explain things the best way to angry players. Sterkte, as the Dutchies say.    gl&hf, geekuma    Edit: Corrected some English and added one more paragraph.

grasho, on 10 August 2020 - 10:39 AM, said: Eek   Thank you for taking the time to engage with us. It is appreciated.   I generally agree with a lot of what you are saying:  new content is good and you cannot please everyone.  I have been having exactly the same conversations with my customers for a decade.   However, what WG appear to be missing is that not all change is good, and some change causes unexpected pain.  All we want is for that pain to be taken away and the destructive changes removed.   You keep saying demounting for gold is not a problem because we now get free demount kits (whilst charging a million or more for them ).  Demount kits are a powerful tool to achieve the Equip 2.0 aim of more diverse setups.  Yet you ration them, actively discouraging players from changing.  Players need a regular and consistent supply of demount kits (or a number saved) to help achieve WG’s aim.  Forcing players to choose between gold (a cost), destruction (a cost) or hoping for a mission (frustration or luck) when they realise better equipment is available will discourage change.
You say you want to move in the direction of the majority.  Again, a good idea.  Yet every time you move towards the majority, the number of players reduces.  Maybe your methods for feedback are failing to identify negative factors?  For example, at the weekend, I was surveyed (would I recommend the game?).  I gave a negative answer and the survey closed.  As an individual who has conducted customer surveys, this was surprising.  The survey provided no useful feedback for WG.  It would have been more valuable if it then asked why my response was negative.  This makes me wonder if your feedback methods skew results so they favour positives and ignore negatives.
You know my other gripes and they are not particularly negative towards Equip 2.0 (as we English say, c’est la vie) but are around unfair loss , how the changes work against the Equip 2.0 aims, and how you are trying to achieve uniformity and compliance (something that discourages fun).   I will finish by highlighting one of your quotes (and please do not see this as cherry picking, but a practical example).   And while you can have fun playing a tanke the way it's not supposed to be played, you should only do this when you know HOW, a player with less than 1k games who doesn't know spotting, camo or armout mechanics yolog scouting on Prok is going to rage more than a person who knows how it should be done. There is a point when you can get away with it, for yourself after that many battles you know how it should be done, many do not.     I was that player. I had hundreds of BT7 games when I started playing WoT, whizzing around Prok trying to scout and failing hard (we did not have the “last seen here” markers and viewrange drawn on the minimap).  I did not rage, I did not complain, I was not discouraged.  I leant not to cross the centre line until 8 enemy had died, at which point I could devastate the rest   Failures are more useful than successes.

Flint_74, on 12 August 2020 - 04:39 PM, said:   What, you mean like the poorly implemented farce that was Equipment 2.0? That's gone really well so far hasn't it... for WG at least, though not so much for all those in the player base that got ripped off YET AGAIN because WG just couldn't help themselves and so they deliberately converted almost all installed equipment on vehicles of Tier 7 and below into class 1 kit that ONLY works on tier 8+ vehicles, thereby forcing players to either have to uninstall and repurchase expensive equipment or effectively not be able to use their under-equipped vehicles in-game anymore.   And while we're going there, should we then look back and go through all of the other PR disasters WG have accidentally or deliberately inflicted upon the playerbase in recent years, mostly in the name of fleecing the community out of more and more cash/gold/bonds/coins/equipment/whatever by whatever underhanded tactics the company has dreamt up, or would that public exploration be too painful, time-consuming, and/or administratively inconvenient?   As it is, it seems to me, and, judging by the strength of the repeated complaints being made here on this forum, apparently to quite a considerable portion of the increasingly more vocal part of this community, that even when the right people with the right skills are in the right location and have the right access to the right data and information that things STILL don't always work out for the best within WoT; and so given this fact, maybe, just maybe, WG need to seriously reevaluate their business strategies and strongly consider alternate options, because their current methods are routinely leaving them looking increasingly disorganised, underprepared, and unprofessional in almost any situation, let alone in response to something as serious as the (intermittent) loss of internet connectivity within the country in which one of their key offices is located.

frange, on 12 August 2020 - 04:06 PM, said:   Sure sure. But the thing is - on the next whatever event like Steel Hunter - and then Halloween 2020 - and then Christmas - is there even an idea for me to be craving for that? With the statistic of all the events that have been the last years constantly getting bugged, postponed or canceled in the very last minute like so many others? Or it is just to pepare for another disaster making me dissapointed loggin in the first day of the event?   The thing is - if you want people to trust you - you have to be trustworthy. And with all these broken, bugged, postponed or even in the very last minute canceled events - it is pretty d*mn hard to trust what you promise.   Once is bad luck. Twice maybe. But third, fourth, fifth, sixth and so on.... Then you just cant call it bad luck or accident anymore. it is something else. Sheer incompetence - maybe?

Desyatnik_Pansy, on 12 August 2020 - 05:33 PM, said:   As I understand: -Halloween event was eventually cancelled as the scope of it meant it ended up far exceeding the planned release date and, coupled with issues with the mode, meant it was better to simply cancel the event than wait an extra month or so to put it out well beyond Halloween -CW Dawn of Industry was delayed due to DDoS Attacks. WG Either delayed the event until it stabilised or released it while undergoing connection issues, they chose the lesser of two evils -Anniversary Act V Is delayed for a whopping 5 Days (as we are apparently getting it on the 17th now) due to a political situation in Belarus   Is waiting almost a week really that hard? Is the situation of other people in the world really not that important to you over an event in a video game?

Absolutely, but they say that they won't be able to post updates about the upcoming act. Yet, they were able to add a tank offer this morning. Just confusing.
