Yeah World of Tanks...arty isn't broken...
Yeah World of Tanks.
Arty isn't broken, your game isn't hopelessly imbalanced and all is well in the world.
I guess I got in at the tail end of what was a good game. Next move? Armored Warfare? They don't listen to the complaints of American players and the Russians seem happy. So maybe a move to AW is the option. Lets see if WOT gets their heads out of their behinds and fixes this or a move by me and others is inevitable.

Beta was the best. Back when tier V arty was the max. :/
ReplyDeletewasn't in then but i've been told that it started going crazy when they started adding all the over powered TDs like the JgpzE100....and my beloved T57 (funny how a mythical US tank is more powerful than the real deal ones like the M103).
Deletethey really need to stop adding vehicles and do a patch where they rebalance the entire game. i like the auto loaders and its crazy. my T8 T69 is less powerful than the T7 M41 Bulldog.
I fucking hate arty with all that is within me, it's why I stopped playing the game, it completely discourages mobility and flanking which is precisely what tanks are for. You should try War Thunder, they recently added ground forces and it's a lot of fun.
ReplyDeletei think i might. the idea of playing a V600 on armored warfare is kinda tugging at me though.
DeleteWow how have I not heard of armored warfare, holy shit it looks amazing.
DeleteI've tried War thunder and it took me one game 15 minutes to start a game, where WOT is just a minute or two. Though the tanks look really cool in War Thunder and move differently. I will stick with WOT but can't wait for Armoured Warfare I'll want the Challenger 2 best armoured tank in the world and most accurate rifled 120mm gun.
DeleteAny MOBA type game, like WoT, LoL, TF2, is just slowly pulling out your nerves.
ReplyDeleteEvery MOBA game trying to enforce 50% win for everyone, to prevent new players to stop playing(and paying for) game after being bashed by experienced players. Therefore when you got some experience and starting to play to win, not just "having fun" in suicidal attacks, you will be balanced at 50% wins by placing low skilled persons in your team, so new unexperienced players would have fun when you win the game for them. Or in case with TF2 teams will be scrambled if one team is too strong and dominating the game round. Such commie "everyone is equal and must not have more than 50% wins" matchmaking simply makes decent players mad, this is why so many raging present in any MOBA game.
If you really want to rest and relax while playing game, and not to waste nerve energy in MOBA commie madness, its better play with decent non commercial community like http://ciahome.net/ -- where people gather and play coop missions.
I quit playing when they removed the 85mm on the tier IV T28 medium tank(fun times with that) so a very long time. Did they finally implement duel gun usage, like being able to use both the 75mm and 37mm cannons on the m3 tank? If not, that is just sad.
ReplyDeletenope. the M3 is still a god awful tank. the crazy thing? the lower tiers are fine. its just from 5 on up where the whole thing goes off the rails.
DeleteI hate to say it but before I went on a video-game hiatus due to my overseas PCS I sometimes enjoyed going down to Tier 1 matches again...mainly because everyone had equal equipment so I would usually rack up lots of kills since allot of Tier 1 players are newbs.
DeleteThey are adding the British M3 version the Grant in the next patch. And I do Agree they should add in where you can fire the 37mm in the turret. The same with the Char B1 but the other way round being able to fire its 75mm in the hull. As Jingles says WOT you so silly.
DeleteMaybe I should try this.
ReplyDeleteBeing a nidge past the big four oh, I probably will fare just as *"good" as that time I tried to play halo against my son.
*"good" as in, not at all
As a professionnam game programmer, I could assure you that everything that make raging you now i intended to make you pay always more to win.
ReplyDeleteIt's their commercial model : At lower tier, they don't press you like a lemon yet because thay wait you to become addict.
After, you pay or you quit for them.
By the way Im waiting armored warfare too..
You do realize the 'destruction' of a game like this is inevitable , don't you?
ReplyDeletePlayers demand updates and to the average player an update is only good if its more powerful then what they already have. A game like this, which uses (semi) realistic vehicles runs out of the obvious choices to ad new ones. But the next update needs to matter.. so you take some obscure tank or artillery piece and ad it in an overpowered form.
This also makes it logical that the first version is the best, since the developers had the opportunity to balance everything and put the right vehicles in the right slots.
i get what you're saying but they're on patch 9.5 now. just like the Marine Corps needs to do an operational pause and take a look at its doctrine, WOT needs to do a pause, take a look at the game and rebalance every tank. its really obscene. none of the tanks make any sense anymore. its almost turning into a ground based stars type thing.
Deletefrom what i can read on the forums (when i try and get a pulse of the game) it appears that many of the Russian and Europeans love it the way that it is. S.E. Asia is basically shouting take my money. so i'm not confident that they'll do anything but keep shoving more overpowered, unrealistic monsters into the game.
You know what really gets me pissed in WoT? Gold rounds and premium tanks. Arty sure is broken and need a fix. But these premium tanks and gold rounds.... I don't play this game anymore thanks to this. I'm gonna unistall it today, and keep playing borderlands 2.
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with premium tanks? Most of them "broken as intedend", with few excpetion of course. But 90% worse then same tier "normal" tank.
DeleteYeah... Look at the t34 and you should find the answer.
DeleteT34 is the broken exception. Most premium vehicles are balanced just fine.
DeleteIf you want to be happy in WOT, you have to stick to the middle tiers, and only play premium tanks in the top tiers. That way every game makes you money instead of sucking it out of you.
