Game Discussion\Gameplay Discussion\People quitting right before they die
Link on message: #483050

Link on message: #483050
ARGO: There are times when your game quits on you or your voice server
causes a crash...... But....Quitting a battle because you do not
want your tank destroyed or to save yourself some credits in my
opinion is quite sad and truly poor sportsmanship if not
discraceful. It is reminiscent of that kid we knew in childhood
that everyone called a baby because he took his toys and went home
whenever he didn't get his way.

Game Discussion\Gameplay Discussion\Fix the LIVE VERSION
Link on message: #481314
sadnebula, on 18 April 2011 - 08:54 AM, said: I am highly disappointed in (1) myself for using premium, but hay,
the game is to boring to go the f2p route.
(2) Wargaming, I see players all the time referring to the "devs." Get it straight people, it is not the devs,
they are employees, they do not have control of the content, the decision makers for the company oversee them,
it is wargaming.
Wargaming over the last year has done little to nothing with this game but make empty promises. We'll fix this in the next patch,
next patch delayed. A year and delay, delay, delay. O poor wargaming, they deserve, they deserve. They deserve what? for us to support them with
our time and money while they bore us to death with imbalanced game play and a one trick pony named capture the flag.
Never been to Russia, Do not know much about the country or it's people. But just because they like the game and it is successful there, doesn't mean it will be here.
I'm sure there are differences in the culture that make up for us liking different things in different games as it is with Asian games. Wargaming, this game is turning into a
fail here in the states. The highest population that I've seen was around 19k at the beginning of the release, now it's pretty steady at around 10k. Almost a 50% drop in population,
about 0 growth from the beta population.
I dare say that other than tanks not being the most popular subject for a game, you, Wargaming have caused this drop. You made a brilliant game. We armored combat fans have been waiting years
for something like this. Then when the game gains a little success what happens? you increase grind, You delay patches, you do not fix matchmaking. This is not a game where grinding to the top is fun,
yet this is what has to happen to counter the poor matchmaking process and be competitive in games. No one wants to grind in a arcane shooter, not like you have it layed out. Game after game in tanks
that I do not like is simply not fun. It might be if i did not have to play against opponents that where so Superior that I really can't touch them except by a shell guided by the hand of God.
Now you folks that fall into the devs deserve, the ones calling other players freeloaders can shoot - rep all day on this, but you can't argue that there is nothing wrong and that the players posting
the so called whines are full of it, the population of this game proves otherwise.

Overlord: What kind of fix we have failed to deliver? All major problems have
been addressed, including teleporting, zero outcomes after the
battle, cases when vehicle doesn't get to the garage after the
battle. Three most critical things: visiblity/camouflage, memory
leak, and vehicles getting stuck are to be adjusted in the next
update as promised.
We have not had 19k players on US server alone [post-split] so far, 13.6 was the maximum. There is no drop.

Technical Support & Bug Reporting\In-Game Bug Reporting\Critical hit that does no damage
Link on message: #479661
Agammeon, on 18 April 2011 - 12:33 AM, said: How exactly does a hit on a KV-3 with an HE round shot from a
SU-152 manage to score a critical hit, but does not even cause any
damage, or break anything obvious like the turret transverse,
tracks, gun, engine, etc. Don't tell me a crew member that's inside
the tank, could manage to fully mitigate the full force of a high
explosive shell. A HE shells explodes when it connects, and this
was a direct hit.
I think the game's hit mechanics needs to be worked over. Critical hits that does no damage and does not seem to affect a tank's performance are happening fairly frequently. A projectile should always do some damage when it hits a tank on almost all direct impacts. A shell simply does not penetrate the armor of a tank, doing no damage, and decimating a crew member or some other module and leaves the tank "unscathed" otherwise.
Also, how exactly does a SU-100 manage to only track a MS-1 dealing no damage otherwise. I wasn't even aiming at the tracks. A shell that's 5 inches in diameter, and could theorically go through 5 MS-1's lined up, doesn't just break the sprocket and inflicts zero damage to the tank.

Tanitha: Critical hit means its done something (taken out) a module/crew
etc..
IE you could have killed a crew member, while not hurting the tanks armour.. IR the armour wasn't damaged something was.

Link on message: #479340

Link on message: #479340
merig00: Keep saying to yourself "This is not a medium tank, this is a TD".
Repeat 30 seconds during the load of the battle and then every time
you want to rush the enemy during the battle. Overall Lee has a
good gun and reload time. The problem is - it is too tall so it
sticks out everywhere and you can't hide it, and it's main gun is
too low to use it from hull-down in most occasions. But Lee can be
fun.
