Subject: Skirmish Suggestions
Link on message: #3005653
Eddywils, on Nov 08 2012 - 08:09, said: I think the current skirmish format is really bad. Their
are a small group of clans who consistently win all the time and no
one else can get a look in.
I think that WOT should restrict the skirmish entries so that past winners have to wait at least a month before they can register for another skirmish. And perhaps it might have to apply to the whole clan to stop them using each others accounts.
Any thoughts on this?

Captain_Judo: We won't restrict entries on this basis. But we're definitely
looking into tournaments that foster the development and growth of
less successful teams. Stay tuned

GeneralDirection: The main reason we released the French tree first is the
significant diversity in gameplay it offered. Yes the British tree
is diverse as well, but it's hard to argue with how auto loaders
changed the meta game.

GeneralDirection: Well, I don't want to make it seem like an "us versus them"
situation. The Game Design team's request is to limit the use of 5x
events because of how much it affects progression--especially for
folks who have a lot of tanks and play all of them for the 5x wins.
We're able to make exceptions for this at times, and luckily this
was one such case since the Golden Joystick Celebration was a
global event.
I meant to post a "how we design events" article a while back to provide a little more clarity on our approach. Maybe it's time I get around to writing that.

Forvet, on Nov 09 2012 - 04:30, said: Devs, since your reading this, I have a question for you. Will you
be including any tree tweaks... buffs, for say the british tanks
after seeing how they did on the open server? I, and many
clanmates, friends, and fellow players on WoT have voiced quite a
bit of frusttration with how underpowered the british tanks from
teir 5 to 7 are. While I can't say how the entire server is doing,
will you be including tweaks to existing trees? Or will you be only
addressing the addition of new tanks and maps?
P.S., I was quite infuriated with the Chinese tank tree addition, however, the fact the devs have actually voiced reasoning behind the decision and are -listening- to their NA playerbase has actually quite nullified any anger or frustration on my part.

GeneralDirection: Absolutely. We'll always take a look back at how vehicles are
performing overall, no matter how many new branches and nations are
added. We made a pretty big pass in 7.5, and a bit more of a
balancing pass in 8.0. If we need to make another pass in the
future we definitely will. We realize that not everything is
perfectly balanced--it's the nature of an online game that
continually updates, introducing new mechanics and things players
aren't used to. So we're fine with revisiting things when we need
to.

carry over along with the tech tree. The Chinese vehicles will be
balanced on the public test the same as other trees are.

figure some of it out. But there are plans to expand it further
than the current 17 vehicles. How far is still up in the air; it
probably won't be as large as a full US, USSR or German tree. But
then again, you guys haven't even seen those full trees yet.

Other trees? No, it's just part of the overall production plan. We've found mixing the branches in keeps players more excited about the development of the tech tree than simply releasing a single nation update after update until it's done.

previous version superior? What alternative changes could have been
made that would have improved the map that we didn't take advantage
of?
Unfortunately the maps have to be reworked to take advantage of both the physics and the rendering. But you can participate in how they are reworked by giving detailed constructive feedback. So I'm here to listen.
