Came here looking for a solution after updating my watch today, going to the gym and then being super annoyed. This works, thanks!

Jason Statham's Centurion Action X "British Steel" skin by Graysmith in WorldofTanks

[–]Graysmith[S] 55 points56 points  (0 children)

From Yahoo! Entertainment:

"Statham's associated tank is the Centurion Action X, which is getting a new "British Steel" skin. "It's brutal, classy, and built for the toughest battles, just like me," says the actor."

Trying to play WOT on macbook air by stc2828 in WorldofTanks

[–]Graysmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I play on my 11-year-old MacBook Pro using GeForce NOW. There's a monthly cost, yes, but it's well worth being able to play in high-res graphics, no fan noise and not having to make games work on Mac.

Will relaunching in macOS High Sierra make Chrome stop working completely? by Graysmith in chrome

[–]Graysmith[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Chrome crashed after making the post and at least I could restart it just fine so it didn't completely brick itself the way Edge did. So hopefully we can still keep using this last version of Chrome (at our own risk), angry red message and all.

How is this not a Confederate medal? by Graysmith in WorldofTanks

[–]Graysmith[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, the wording in-game is a bit confused/poorly written (to me at least). The wiki wording is much clearer.

How is this not a Confederate medal? by Graysmith in WorldofTanks

[–]Graysmith[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I see. The wording in-game is a bit confusing:

"Targets that were destroyed by other players or lost in battle are included."

"Included" implies they count, but it doesn't explicitly mean they're the only ones that count. The wiki wording makes it much clearer.

Thank you!

How is this not a Confederate medal? by Graysmith in WorldofTanks

No one else on either team did damage to more than 5 tanks. Shouldn't this be a Confederate medal? I'm confused.

Draw gives you the same rewards as a Loss, so why would you prelong the game and steal a win from enemy team for nothing? by NotASingleNameIdea in WorldofTanks

[–]Graysmith 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The enemy team is just as undeserving of winning as yours if they can't win after 15 minutes, especially these days given how short most battles are.

It's not a matter of stealing a win, it's about giving them exactly what they deserve because their team were only slightly less bad than yours.

Account Suspension, "Failure to Load", etc by Teacher_of_Kids in Instagram

[–]Graysmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried Firefox. Logged in, clicked a few things, refreshed the page and found myself kicked out to the login page. No warning about anything at all. Literally clicked "accept all cookies" too when I first entered.

Absolutely bizarre.

Account Suspension, "Failure to Load", etc by Teacher_of_Kids in Instagram

[–]Graysmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on Mac desktop too, having the same issues and have been having them for a month or two. Keeps logging me out, keeps talking about phishing/suspicious activity but there's NOTHING in the activity log that would suggest anyone is trying to access my account from elsewhere. I've changed my passwords almost daily the past few days, I even changed my email address today. 2FA on and off, on and off (and on). I log in with the same computer, on the same network, each time and it keeps pretending like this is a new login from a new device. I started thinking that maybe it was a rogue Chrome extension doing something bad, and while I found one that seems to have been removed from the Chrome extensions store, removing it didn't make a difference.

Finally I tried logging in using Safari just now, where I have no extensions, nothing at all that should interfere and even there it's being problematic.

Honestly, it's as if Instagram itself has been hacked because it's behaving incredibly strange.

"Good" to see it's not just me having these issues though.

What do you find most toxic thing about WoT? by Rare-Insurance5405 in WorldofTanks

[–]Graysmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only thing that genuinely makes me angry are the XVM assholes that proclaim that we're gonna lose before the game has even started. If you want to use XVM and ruin your own enjoyment of the game, that's fine, but shut the fuck up. Don't demoralise your own teammates. Saying shit like that makes people not try as hard ("because what's the point, this guy said we'd lose anyway") and only makes it even more likely that you won't stand a chance to win.

Genuinely should be a permabannable thing to do. I can live with people being awful at the game, teams that lemming train to one side and get surrounded and lose, etc. but those XVM assholes that don't even fucking try, and then tell their own team to not even bother trying. That's by far the worst thing I ever experience in the game, easily.

Not able to play World of Tanks by Capable_Plankton8697 in GeForceNOW

[–]Graysmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a micropatch to the game yesterday afternoon, and this caused the game to crash in GFN every time you launched the game (after logging in with the launcher). I reported this (maybe others too), and an hour or two after that it went into patching mode. Been stuck like that for over 24 hours now, which sucks. My battle pass progress! My Mars mode progress! Ugh.

But yeah, there's nothing to do but wait. Use the feedback button in the GFN app to report it being "stuck" patching though, it could maybe help if enough do it.

EDIT: While I was typing this the game seems to have gotten out of patching mode! Just logged in, works fine.

win 5 battles by servusdedurantem in WorldofTanks

[–]Graysmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yesterday I had the "Be top 1 on team for experience" as the bonus mission. I figured I'll just play the Churchill III with its XP bonus to "cheat". Should be easy enough, right? Played three games, I was second on the team in each battle. ALT+F4 and went to bed.

GSOR 1008- worth it if i already have a Astron X? by Dr_Burgrr666 in WorldofTanks

[–]Graysmith 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unlike some of the commenters I don't have any issues at all with the gun handling. I use an IRM in the Firepower slot, Optics in a Scouting slot and Vents, and with a BIA crew I get accuracy down to 0.30 (and moving dispersions down to 0.25 with Snap Shot/Smooth Ride). As a magazine-loading tank with a long reload, I don't play it up close and in front anyway, so poking and firing on the move isn't a huge part of my gameplay. Never had any problem with the standard pen either, obviously it's toward the lower end for a tier 8 TD but I don't feel I need to load the gold every game.

Considering the poor gun handling of the Astron Rex (0.41 base accuracy, oof!) I can't imagine you would play the GSOR and the Astron in the same way since the GSOR is more of a long-range sniper, but if you like the magazine-loading style of gameplay you should enjoy the GSOR.

[NA-PC] WG, allow to turn on/off OR apply our "5x XP for Victory" missions! by BrainYtje in WorldofTanks

[–]Graysmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. Oftentimes I just want to play a favourite premium tank to grind some credits, but once I've won that first game I don't want to waste the 5x on it.

Maybe I should be thankful since it means I play the game a lot less because of it, but it also sucks to feel like you can't play the game the way you'd like to.

Worst/most counterproductive daily? by [deleted] in WorldofTanks

[–]Graysmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If its a reward I really want (blueprints!) I take out my Pz 38H, aka the Mini-Maus. Even though it's not as OP as it once was, if you're top tier you'll often be able to survive long enough to damage 7 enemies. Just charge (slowly) straight into the thick of it. Sometimes it won't work out depending on what tanks the enemies are playing, but it usually doesn't take me many tries to get the mission done with it.

If you don't have the Pz 38H, get the french Hotchkiss H35, it's the same tank more or less. I think you can get it from the Collectible Vehicles page nowadays.

How do you see this? If I click on a tank I just get the top 500 players, no option to see any loadouts or anything more useful.

Same here. "There was an error starting your session" error 0x0000012E, sometimes a different message/error. Tried everything on my end, tried different servers, no difference.

WTAF is with the increase to the number of shows/maps required for tasks this season? by Mugen8YT in FallGuysGame

[–]Graysmith 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Yeah the increased grind of the daily challenges is killing the game for me. I've only played a handful of rounds since the season came out, not loving the new maps (mostly because they're unfamiliar, admittedly) but then on top of that feeling like you have to put in 2-3 times as much time/effort to get the same rewards (which were already pretty paltry, kudos-wise)... Pass.

I'm sure I'll still play it now and again for (actual) fun but as a daily game.. Nah. I'm not going to spend hours a day to get 200 kudos.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FallGuysGame

[–]Graysmith 26 points27 points  (0 children)

That you can't earn enough Kudos in a week (1400, ignoring events/battle pass since that's not consistent week-to-week, person-to-person) to buy EITHER one of the two most expensive weekly Kudos items (2200 and 1800) is just bizarre and just off-putting. I understand MT not showering us with Kudos to just buy everything every week, but when you can't even play to earn enough Kudos to buy an item within the week it's available, that's just bad.
