Changes to Vehicles With Preferential Matchmaking + Notes on Trade-in
Дата: 22.05.2018 00:51:20
Perfecting Preferential Premiums We don’t want to turn an assault tank into an ambush
vehicle. We want to preserve or even emphasize their distinct
features. At the same time, we plan to give players the opportunity
to decide whether an updated tank is relevant for
them. Accordingly, every tanker can exchange a particular
machine through the special trade-in option for an exclusive list
of tanks not available in the common trade-in (don't worry, tanks
available in the common trade in are also included). The cost of
this kind of exchange will not exceed 2,000 Gold. Thus, each owner
of a preferential Premium will have two options: - Keep their
machine after its specs have been improved - Exchange it for
another, more suitable vehicle, with a small surcharge in Gold
CabbageMechanic: Your reactions to this news have largely been negative and I
completely understand - something you purchased is being changed
and you are being told your primary alternative if you don't like
it is to spend more gold. Intentions here were noble - the
gold value of the KV-5 is only 7,500, so a full gold refund would
actually leave you 4,500 Gold short of even being able to purchase
a tech tree Tier 8 Premium like the T34 (12,000) , or 5,000 short
of the Löwe (12,500). The idea was that players would have
the option of a scale of vehicles to choose to swap for directly,
all of which would be of significantly greater gold value than a
refund. This was not presented well, and we hear and have
shared your feedback on this announcement immediately. We
will be reviewing this plan with the global team and will share
updates with you on any changes when they are ready.
Our primary goal here is to solve the problems in Matchmaking currently being caused by vehicles with preferential mm by re-working them in a manner that maintains their unique characteristics but balances them for normal matchmaking appropriately. Ideally we can do so in a way that leaves all current owners satisfied with their performance, but we did want to assure people there would be other options if they are not. In the meantime, please check out the changes to the KV-5 listed in the article above and let us know what you think. These are early yet, and will go through several rounds of testing and data/feedback review before being considered for the live server.
Thank you for your feedback and have a great day on the battlefield,
CM
