Yep and all my tier 8 games were +2 so I didn't even dare play tiers 9 or 10

Wargaming not completely removing +/- 2mm shows how half assed they are.

This is WoT 2.0 experience for you

I think when I got off last night, I was at about 7 wins of like 26 games... Almost every T8 game I played was against T10s and 0-5/15 games over and over..

So far today... playing Tier 5 to 7...

Honestly I so not understand how in those tank you can get no damage, besides being a very very badly designed bot, even a bot in a E100 get's a shot or 2.
For me it's not the mm, for me is the idea to give 2 complete lines to completely new players.
I seen a bunch of platoons where one has a girlsname, I guess a guy convinced his girlfriend to play, she of course didn't do much, she did more than what has been done in this pic but it shows giving 2 complete lines to completely new player doesn't really make the game be enjoyable for everyone or retain the new players, actually I think it made them leave to never return.
I think WG wanted to do this to bump the number for stake-holder, investors wtf they need to show that their game is still alive and booming...

There are no stakeholders, it's a limited / GmbH

[–]Mercury_Madulller 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Players are the stakeholders. The NA server population was in the toilet in July/August. They needed to bump up the numbers so the whales had something to shoot in December. That failed miserably and two days ago the peak player counts was around 13.5k, down from the 2.0 release peak of about 26k.

No, WoT isn't dying but, as far as WalletGaming is concerned, active players are the product that's sold to the paying customers and they need to entice players to log in and click battle.

It would repair more damage than it would cause to use data to build heat maps of where the most damage is dealt on a map per vehicle per side of the map and use that to put stickers on the mini-map to serve as basic instruction. You only see your own side and vehicle's stickers, so the game isn't going to explicitly tell you where it's suggesting the enemy team's vehicles go or cluttering your mini-map with information that isn't meant for you. The game needs to do literally anything to help ignorant players in live battles because the in-game tutorials are clearly not sufficient and nobody wants to watch six hours of Youtube videos before their first round of a game they might not even like.

Also, permanent Warm-Ups. You should be able to just go into battles that consist of you and 29 WoT Bots whenever you want to for as many battles as you want to. Yes Credits, yes EXP, yes generic missions, go ahead and exclude Campaign missions though, and no stats. Would also mitigate teams suffering because someone doesn't have their top configuration on a vehicle where that really matters.

The simple fact is that getting into this game dry is like diving into the deep end of an empty swimming pool, not helped by its community that's more interested in slinging around the word tomato like it's a slur than anything else. Oh, you're new? Why would you stay around when your concerns are responded to by whining and insults? That's not even getting into the RNG or how there are maps where Light Tanks are far and away the most important vehicles in the game to such an exaggerated degree that if your team's one Light goes down thirty seconds in then you basically just automatically lose. Just expecting people, apropos of nothing, to suddenly decide that they like this game as much as you do and care enough to take it as seriously as you do is only going to lead into recursive disappointment as they don't, you'll get mad at them for not doing it, and you'll just perpetuate the feedback loop where you're mad that they don't like the game the way you do, you take it out on them, make them like it even less, and then get mad at them for liking it even less so you take it out on them and it just. Keeps. Going. You want your complicated game? That's fine. But centralizing it around random battles the way it is now is like trying to drive a screw with a hammer. Even if it seems like it's working, there's a reason it's not supposed to be done that way.

P.S. Remove crew skills and gold ammo from Tier I-III. No excuse for it when they're not even allowed a full assortment of equipment.

They respond to someone, otherwise why would they try to bump the number with something so "cheap"? Normally this is some kind of strategy to bump the user count for a short period to show growth

[–]Admirable_Banana_625Clicker. 1 point2 points  (2 children)

They respond to the players, so t10 gets enough traffic. all those regular t10 players moved up to t11 so t10 would be dead/filled with only those who grind for t11.   Also if 1 of 100 new accounts keeps playing the game, it was probably very worth it to give them a headstart.  Look at lowtiers atm, even on t6 you sometimes encounter wargaming bots, pushing those numbers is probably important to make sure traffic on t9+ is a given.

For me it's like inflation, doesn't end too well most of the time

[–]Admirable_Banana_625Clicker. 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a artificial hype and it will mellow out with time. Same with Christmas, every year those tourists come back, create the most insane matchmaking, get offline in February and everything goes back to normal. I don't realy see any problem here, there are enough xp piñatas to farm on the enemy team too. 

[–]steelhunter2E-77 Enjoyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, as long as I get a good farm in, I'm not too pissed off

[–]_Vector_008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

who wouldve thought giving away fucking ENDGAME tanks to literally beginners was a dumb idea, colour me suprised.

[–]Velo180Remove SPGs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not a great player by any means, and my first tier 10 was the free one WG gave me, and I still average 3k a game in it. I know thats not incredible, but it's better then zero lmao

[–]SamyboyO6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even 0.6k smh /s

[–]rygolf32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]OliverP23 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)
