Butknuckle, on Feb 16 2022 - 02:38, said: Maps that passed the greenlight So less than 50% of the new maps you produced and had us test made it to "greenlight?"  This doesn't even consider the what, 5 or 6 maps, you've teased us with "going to supertest" status over the last year. Solid job there map team. Methodology used to pick the winners No one cares at this point. The introduction of new maps is so excruciatingly slow that players are frustrated with the lack of new content. If you're really that concerned with adding new maps that people might not like, then increase the number of maps that players can block, then use that data to remove/rework maps. Communication overall From the original article: "The maps that are the most popular with the community will be prioritized for addition to the Random Battles map pool in future updates." We are still waiting. You've got data showing which were the most popular, that should be enough to add them to the game. Why the additional testing/request for player input?   "If you've got any ideas on how to improve our methodology:" Just put them in the game already. Players have been wailing for new maps for years. All of these are good enough to add to random rotation in their current state. Remove them if you must if there is backlash after several months of them being played.

CrankyFrankE, on Feb 16 2022 - 19:27, said: I identify as a collector.   I could actually care less if WG shuts down the NA server and I lose my account because of it. I enjoyed my time playing the game and the little pixels I've spent real money on. Same as all the mounts and transmog crap I've "collected" in WoW for the past 12 or 13 years. I dont play WoW anymore but have regrets there either for any money spent. Just my thing in video games I play, I enjoy it. And any money spent over that course of time yes is a waste of money in truth but we all spend money on needless things in life. To each there own.    I am a collector.

2Fantastic, on Feb 16 2022 - 19:04, said: In that case there is no reason to get frustrated about things in game, and the forums should exist purely for positive feed back. Also people complained about arty, and it got nerfed, people complained about ebrs, and they got nerfed…    As a paying customer I feel like I’m constantly being pan handled by wg because they have designed a game in which it cannot expand to new customers. Essentially by buying into game I’m actively making it worse. Because each time I do they add more elements that push me to buy more they push away newer players. Thus making them more dependent on me.

Cupujoe, on Feb 16 2022 - 17:53, said: First, using premiums rounds does not equal 100% pen. Second, how many people actually use 100% premium rounds  ? I personally know 2. One is a sub40% player with zero skill but lots of money. The other is a unicom with tons of ingame gold from clanwars and tournaments. He actually hasn't spent any real money on the game.  Looking at those 2 I could say that the game is pay2lose.

Korvick, on Feb 16 2022 - 02:20, said:   How many rounds can you fire in a battle?  There are only so many shots you can take.  There is a point of diminishing returns.  On my f2p accounts I can afford to load up with 100% prem and not care but I don't need to so I dont.  And so what if the Prem user has 1.5x the credits (and by the way, if you talk in terms of actual game by game profit it's really more like 2x, after you take into account repairs and the like).  All earning less credits means is that you need to spend more time playing mid tiers or prem money makers.  TIME is not winning.  There is no prize for completing anything faster in this game.    For hyperbole's sake, I could play 1 million games in a Loltractor and make 100 million credits on f2p.  And then spend the rest of whatever my life is shooting premium.  All without having spend a cent.  How is that p2w?  I'd probably have totally crap stats but STATS is not winning either.  What happens in each individual battle is what counts.  If I know I have access to the same equipment the other person has then the playing field is level.  I don't care if it would take me a year to get something that the other person got in 1 month because of premium, all that matters is what you have IN THAT BATTLE.

NeatoMan, on Feb 16 2022 - 01:01, said: They aren't supposed to keep up with them battle for battle.  Take it slow and they'll have plenty of stuff to compete with when they move up the tiers.   Why would anyone pay for premium if they could advance just as fast without it?


Korvick, on Feb 16 2022 - 01:09, said:   Said it before and will repeat here.  If you can buy Prem whatevers for in game currency, which is earned by just playing the game, then the game is no longer pay to win.  Yep, it will take my f2p account 5x as long to achieve tiers than my Prem account.  But in an INDIVIDUAL BATTLE, there is no difference in what my f2p account can bring into the fight than my Prem account.   Prem Ammo is a cancer.  It's probably the biggest anchor on the neck of WoT since day one.  And there is nothing we can do about it.  What happened 4 years ago just proved it.  That was when WG actually tried to nerf Prem ammo, and the PLAYERBASE went into an uproar.  Nothing been heard about it since.

Korvick, on Feb 15 2022 - 23:21, said:   No denying that.  Some, especially the newer ones, are definitely OP.    But some of that is due to OUR OWN FAULT.  The Prog for instance.  WG were going to nerf that tank by removing the ability to mount a Gun Rammer.  The Playerbase put up such a stink and threatened lawsuits if it happened.  The result - they essentially BUILT IN a damn Gun Rammer into the tank thus making an already good tank into OP status by effectively having 4 equipment slots.   Just watch the Win Rates of these tanks drop the moment we have a sale on.  Tomatoes buy them because "they are pay to win" and end up Losing.  In the end, its not just the Tank, The Player has a much bigger impact than people realise.  Own your mistakes.  Learn from them.  Those that have accepted this and have decided that the game is not simply p2w and the w key, get better.

Kefic, on Feb 15 2022 - 21:15, said: Wr of tech tree tanks are hampered with stats reflecting games played with stock tanks.   I'd bet if you could separate the stats to only show elites tech tree tanks, there would be a lot of tech tree tanks with higher wr than their respective premium counterparts.   The benefit of a premium account is advancing quicker with XP, credits, and free exp.  I won't play a stock tank, because I don't have to.   Those that don't like this, there's an easy solution.

The vehicle they tested the weapon on was an M48A2 hull with a T54E2 turret, and the tank pictured is that tank. As far as the game goes its just an improgress vehicle that was never fully completed for release for whatever reason.

Angry_Johnny_Killbillys, on Feb 14 2022 - 21:53, said: Your two statements do not represent IMO any significant portion of the player base in a PvP game. Statement one is absolutely untrue for the vast majority of players. You confuse not being upset and breaking keyboards with not caring. They want to win and most move on to the next match without raging if that doesn't happen. They do not want to put the additional time into improving their play to win more is more viable observation but don't care is frankly BS. That may well be how you feel but don't project your lack of competitiveness on the majority of players. That is disrespectful and wrong. The second bold statement is confusing to me as I cant wrap my head around what the motivation and urgency is to play one more match. Your saying they have no motivation to win, to progress to get better why is it important to enter one more match before bed?   Not being a jerk but what you keep selling is a compensation for being really bad at the game and an attempt to justify not being a competitive person. I have a long background in competitive sports. I have children and grandchildren in competitive sports. They strive to be the best they can in those sports and to be proud of what they accomplished. To view where they failed as a growth opportunity. Be that a backyard football pickup game or a organized league like the traveling basketball teams and college level sports. They are also taught there will be limitations on how much your mental and physical ability can take you but don't ever quit trying. Sorry but am using the BS card on what your selling.

Altwar, on Feb 14 2022 - 12:25, said:   This is definitely the question that concerns me.  I'm figuring on dumping 2 expired rentals in hope of possibly seeing them in the caravan; the remainder I'm keeping as barracks and as a means of shaping offers.     I'm finding this event is definitely interesting to me.  Whether I gain anything out of it is makes it somewhat entertaining as well but whether I do or not is secondary to my interest in seeing how this plays out.
