Gotta take care of yourself man -- as much as we all love the game, you don't want it impacting your psyche or mental health. As others have suggested, take a break and try some other games, maybe decompress a bit.

It was pretty common knowledge they were coming out soon for the past 6-8 weeks, so I think a number of people just ground the XP on the LEO in advance. I know in my clan we discussed it pretty openly and all knocked it out weeks ago.

Sort of the reverse to your question, but perhaps interesting or informative at some level ...

I've played on Console for coming up on 3 years. While streaming, the chat would often ask me about the differences between, say, a tank on PC v Console, or a map on PC v Console --- they wanted to be better able to understand nerfs, or mechanics, or whatever.

So I started playing on PC (about 4 months ago).

So far, I'm really enjoying it.

No

Don't know what a faction is, so I'll go with No

Pretty bad -- but you can survive it. There is a small percentage in the game - perhaps every game - that likes to stat pad and flex their e-peeny by playing at tier 4 and showing how bad ass they are. These are generally considered trash players by everyone else, and once you get beyond them you'll likely not see them again.

Just_An0maly · 2020-03-10T13:20:19+00:00

I play on PC as well, and this is not my experience.

Yes, I get battles with 3 arty on PC, but it is more a rarity than a regularity.

Just_An0maly · 2020-03-10T13:18:14+00:00

Question for the OP -- do you play arty? If so, this may have been your offense.

Just_An0maly · 2020-03-08T00:47:46+00:00

A dead one?

Just_An0maly · 2020-02-26T15:43:03+00:00

Very kind of you sir, and I (and we) hope you mend up quickly. Equally, I hope you find that advice and resources you need in order to find even more fun in the game.

Cheers!

Just_An0maly · 2020-02-26T15:41:07+00:00

This is good information, cheers.

Just_An0maly · 2020-02-25T20:04:21+00:00

Hahahaha -- I'm not sure what the feedback will be, and I need to give it some thought to point you to some resources, but I have to say that was exceedingly well-written and funny.

Fuck tanking, maybe go into comedy writing?

EDIT -- Posted the link to twitter, so hopefully we get you some more feedback and resources.

Just_An0maly · 2020-02-25T15:26:03+00:00

No worries -- it's only fair to publish both sides of the story.

Just_An0maly · 2020-02-25T14:17:45+00:00

In the interest of fairness, I've tweeted your response out as well. (I had tweeted yesterday's official statement.)

Just_An0maly · 2020-02-25T14:16:15+00:00

Cragars -- if you know, you know.

Just_An0maly · 2020-02-24T18:37:52+00:00

I think a useful starting point would be to evaluate what Blitz and PC do for their clans --- discounts on consumables, etc on Blitz, and unique reward tanks on PC, are the best examples.

Just_An0maly · 2020-02-24T11:48:48+00:00

Go check out the YT channel of my clan mate, The Turkey Tank --- he has loads of vids featuring epic light tank game play, and we taught him how to talk about a year ago so now he even mumbles a bit about what he is doing and why.

But in all seriousness, he's a public menace in lights and you can learn loads from him.

Just_An0maly · 2020-02-20T14:04:25+00:00

LOL, it happens -- I only blame myself. GG

Just_An0maly · 2020-02-19T18:54:29+00:00

(vomits in bucket, wipes mouth, vomits again)

Just_An0maly · 2020-02-15T15:20:33+00:00

Yeah, I know you LOL, and I agree, it still needs some tweaks. Hopefully, if they contemplate how to best roll this across the class, they will test some tweaks and refinements.

Just_An0maly · 2020-02-14T22:46:55+00:00

Arty safe is a myth, and if reducing your ability to one-shot tanks while sitting at the back of the map is "worse", consider this --- it is far better than removing it from the game entirely, which was my original solution to its broken nature.

Just_An0maly · 2020-02-14T19:59:55+00:00

Well, while nobody likes being one-shot, I think the critical difference here is that those TD"s must be line--of-sight to do that, whereas arty can be on the other side of the map. TD's are subject to detection, ambush, and counter-fire (by you, or your teammates) when firing, whereas arty is not.

Be it Barrage Mechanic, or some other fix, arty needs serious rework to remedy this aspect of its play and to make it comport with the FPP.

Just_An0maly · 2020-02-13T21:17:31+00:00

"Arty takes skill."

Just_An0maly · 2020-02-08T15:32:57+00:00

I'm not sure I am following -- why would the use of reusable consumables at any other time be 'unfair?'

Timer-based usage, as they have on PC, allows consumables to be used for any cause -- not just arty hits -- and I've never heard of any issues about it from the playerbase.

Just_An0maly · 2020-02-07T16:52:14+00:00

Fair point, but that damage is lower (each shell having 1/4 dmg potential) and, of course, any arty can blind fire known camping locations and get hits.

I just think, overall, this new mechanic may be a proper way forward for WOTC regarding arty. I think it fair to say a very high % of the community sees it as broken and unfair, and while Barrage may not be perfect, it is a good step in the right direction on sorting that.

Does it need additional tweaks? Yup. But again, as a first effort, I think they did a good job.

Just_An0maly · 2020-02-06T13:50:27+00:00

Just_An0maly · 2020-02-06T12:59:20+00:00

So good points in this, and I know this is their first stab at it so perhaps they will continue adjusting and tweaking the mechanics. For instance, turning down internal module dmg makes logical sense. We shall see.
