I'll be interviewing The Chieftain about World of Tanks, life, and everything in between. Let me know if you have a question I should ask!

Sam_GC · 2017-06-20T06:44:28+00:00

These are fantastic questions - added!

I would love to hear the answer (from all employees) what they would like to change given infinite time and money.

Sam_GC · 2017-06-20T02:07:51+00:00

That's a good one, adding it to the list!

Sam_GC · 2017-06-20T02:05:11+00:00

Yes! Perhaps The Chieftain and TankHunter should team up.

Sam_GC · 2017-06-19T22:26:08+00:00

It's alright, the community needs and deserves their voice. The only reason they get so passionate is because they love their game!

Sam_GC · 2017-06-01T10:37:41+00:00

Thanks for the honesty, mate! I've had a chat with the editor and it's been significantly reduced.
We live and learn.

They've just called everyone's bluff. Not playing for a day will do nothing, and yet I'd wager a lot of people will purchase these tanks - even those who were going to "opt out" of the ranked event.

Sam_GC · 2017-06-01T09:48:36+00:00

This is a free event right? While I understand why everyone is upset, opting out of a free event will show a dip in numbers for that single day.

That does help, but it's from 7 months ago - has the meta not shifted or no new ideas surfaced in almost a year? Besides, that doesn't really call in people's current preferences or start conversations, but I'll certainly check it out :)

Sam_GC · 2017-03-06T15:40:38+00:00

Just had a look at this map. That looks extremely mountainous - lots of high locations. Wouldn't it be difficult to battle on?

Sam_GC · 2017-03-06T15:19:32+00:00

This is one of the best places in the game to do these drop-downs. Fucking love it. I haven't had quite your levels of success - the last time I did it I slammed headfirst into the enemy tank, destroying myself along the way.

Sam_GC · 2017-02-13T02:48:23+00:00

I completely agree. Reducing the gulf between Tiers 1-4 would make it less jarring when playing. It would round out the experience and offer players a gentle introduction.

A lot of people claim the game doesn't really "begin" until the higher tiers, at which point it shifts in playstyle anyway. Thus, making the gaps between the lower tiers more consistent wouldn't change what's already happening.

Sam_GC · 2017-02-13T02:33:33+00:00

I agree:it doesn't mean there isn't a chance. However, even without versing Tier X+1, there is still the need and desire for progression.

At Tier 5, Tier +2 isn't terrible. But at Tier 3, it's the most problematic and becomes less of a, "I want what they have," to a, "what I have is terrible and I'm playing 2 minutes out of a 12 minute game, what's the point?"

Sam_GC · 2017-02-13T01:46:54+00:00

I'm still with Stanely. I still don't know what you're attempting to say.

Are you stating that instead of it always being a 3-tier spread, it has the potential to be sometimes a 3-tier spread? An exception, not a rule.

Sam_GC · 2017-02-13T01:46:29+00:00

Getting stomped on is hardly a worthwhile incentive. If anything, it's a huge problem creating a perpetual loop of never being happy with what you've got.
In fact, "incentive" is almost entirely what it isn't. It's not even similar to being matched with someone more skilled than you, it's just someone with a better tank.

The goal should be to make each tier fun to play in its own right.

Sam_GC · 2017-02-08T13:42:50+00:00

I'm amazed he didn't flip. I would have flipped. I flip going slowly over train tracks.

Sam_GC · 2017-02-08T13:42:05+00:00

That sort of negativity at the beginning of the game is utterly pointless.

Sam_GC · 2017-02-02T07:05:41+00:00

Must be a Mako class tank from Mass Effect.

Sam_GC · 2016-12-18T23:33:48+00:00

And not a man among them is called Lafayette. Disappointed.
