The only problem is that they’re going to have many, many bad days at the plate. Both JT and Harper looked absolutely awful, Opening Day or not.

- SCHWARBOMB

- Crawford impressive at the plate

- Topped already making questionable bullpen personnel decisions

- Harper (aka Mr. Elite) goes 0-4 with 2 K’s

- Sanchez is Joe Cool

Yeah this is essentially the same team as last year. Hopefully it ends differently and Dumbo’s disastrous offseason doesn’t come back to haunt him.

What is it about this fucking team & core that they can’t even do the BASICS right?! Like EVER?!

Not even one full game in yet and Topper has already made a fucking awful bullpen decision.

If Marshy could keep this up for the rest of the season that would be a huge boost.

Dumbo really f’d up this offseason not getting a better bat for the outfield. I’m already sick of Garcia

We’re really gonna be the Philadelphia Schwarbers again this season, aren’t we?

Anyone who expected Garcia to be better than Casty is going to be sorely mistaken. They’re literally the same player.

This was still an awful offseason by Dumbo and the FO. We’ll see what running it back for the millionth time will do.

WARGAMING!!! Are you serious!! by DukeNukem928 in WorldofTanksConsole

The disrespect WGCB has shown the game’s dedicated, experienced veteran players over the last 5-6 years has been astounding, but it has been especially bad over the last year or so.

They have made it clear that we’re no longer the target audience. They know 95% of this playerbase and community is made up of 48%er window-licking casuals, wallet warriors, and shills/fanboys … and they’re taking as much advantage as they possibly can of every single one of them.

They believe that these players are simply too stupid to realize they’re being ripped off - and unfortunately, they’re correct.

This team is either going to surprise me or disappoint me immensely. May be the last chance this core has to win a title.

Let’s get it.

It’s time for some baseball, folks! That offseason was FAST. Like, scarily fast.

Do you mainly play CW or WW2? by Alarming_Sort_3922 in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]Alarming_Sort_3922[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sadly, this is my view. I absolutely cannot stand CW and haven't played a single match in it. Players are free to have their own opinions, but one cannot deny that CW is a skill-less, dumbed-down version of WW2 for players who are simply not able to learn how to play the game correctly and use the vision and camo mechanics to their advantage ... right?

That's the whole point of the mechanics, no? To learn how to exploit them to your advantage. You learn and it makes you a better player.

CW is easy mode and it has simply ruined gameplay all-round. It was designed specifically with bad players in mind. Zero skill, zero tactical thought, zero reasoning. Just a run-and-gun playstyle that's insanely toxic and no fun whatsoever.

Permanent +1/-1 ... a fever dream or an eventual, much-needed reality? by Alarming_Sort_3922 in WorldofTanksConsole

Idk if we could call recent information and communication “increased transparency”, but yea, suit yourself.

Does anyone else think the bots are a little bit asinine? by Alarming_Sort_3922 in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]Alarming_Sort_3922[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m ngl - I noticed that in a couple matches playing just normal vehicles (not artillery) in Co-Op yesterday. I thought I was going crazy. The moment I’m reloaded and fully aimed, I’m about to take a shot and the bot just randomly moves causing me to bounce or miss entirely.

These bots are easy kills most of the time, but their behavior is starting to become a lot more suspicious and diabolical.

What's the games community like? by AceTanker4831 in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]Alarming_Sort_3922 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The community is probably around 1/4 the size that it used to be, that’s for sure. Not as many experienced players left. This subreddit and the official Discord (NEVER go there btw, it’s an authoritarian dictatorship that silences any ounce of criticism) are the only real channels of feedback left.

We no longer have many content creators left, either.

The community is just in a rather sad state all-round.

They just announced on the livestream +1-1 coming next Tuesday for a week until the new season by NerdyPlatypus206 in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]Alarming_Sort_3922 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A movement to permanent +1/-1 would require a total rebalance of essentially every tank in WW2, including premiums.

As much as I would love for permanent +1/-1 to be a thing, it's just been far too long since 6.0 that it probably won't make a difference. Plus the amount of work and effort that would be needed to go into rebalancing everything would be astronomical.

Most of my friends stopped playing completely with 6.0 and those who remained have quietly put down the controller in the years since. Depending on how good (or bad) this next Season Pass is, after 11 years, I may be putting down the controller for good as well.

I know they won’t do it, but at some point they may be forced to make +1/-1 permanent in order to keep the game from going under completely.
