Ragnaguard, on 05 February 2021 - 08:12 PM, said:   its not even a patch but so much work has been done towards were devs decided to go that a full server is ready to be launched with the mechanics ready for implementation..............   also u said if we all agree... define who is all, cause today u announced the rework and many players r against it... and guess what  i doubt they will take part on common test

myselfe, on 05 February 2021 - 08:48 PM, said: Dear WG,   I know the sandbox is supposed to be a playground to test early concepts and stuff BUT:   How about you would actually use it to test early concepts of things the comunity actually WANTS or the game even NEEDS! Why is all this effort, money and manpower wasted on sh... like Crew 2.0 NOBODY NEEDS and the COMMUNITY DONT WANTS! This is essentially just a supped up version of the boring system world of warships is using.   Please start listening to your community WG or there will be no more community sooner rather than later.

As a new player I was suckered into buying a collector German artillery just to try to complete the stun missions, naturally I selected the 150mm equipped arty only to find that despite the gun and shell characteristics showing stun min and max durations that gun/vehicle cannot stun

Freg0, on 06 February 2021 - 10:05 PM, said: Don't take it as a personal attack and I'm nowhere near to be a hater, but please don't play yourself in front of others like the last time when the HE changes were more like a disaster from Wargaming's part like this is for the better of the game and game experience or even balance.   It's a common knowledge amongst players that if something, HE works properly. Have you heard of the saying: Don't fix what it's not broken? Also, it's a good PR that we decide if we want these changes or not, but I find it suspicious that the players have already made a strong decision last time about the HE, it's good as it is, yet you bring it up again, and I can imagine if you fail this time too, WG finds a way to ,,fix'' HE yet again. It gives a feeling that it has been decided already that it needs a rework (understand massive nerf), regardless. (except KV-2 and other russians, Obviously.)   What about the ,,nerfed'' cars which should have never been allowed to this game? Or the lightning battles which are 2-3 minutes long like previously mentioned. 15-0, 15-5 and inverse is a common place since years now, the massive gold spam that breaks the armor mechanics at it's core, what about the rng streaks?  WG: Nono, let's fix what's not broken first.   Guys guys, this is real bad, I tell you now.

StahanoW, on 07 February 2021 - 08:18 AM, said: I don't think we will receive any kind of information here about the sandbox changes... which is a bit idiotic to be very honest. Throwing up a ~ 2 minutes long video about throwing up change names, and thats it. This is just interest generation, nothing more.

It would have been good, if the video have included the followings:
- main bulletpoints for the changes - whats new, or what has to be done
- correct date ranges from-to (not just the month timeline, thats stupid)
- whats the main differences between this crew 2.0 iteration with the previous presentation (if there is any) - whats the difference between the previous HE changes, and the next one

kmeta, on 08 February 2021 - 08:41 AM, said: Whether the prizes will remain on the official server ???   Or are for the server only Sandbox...   Thx WG.
