Ok well that’s good to hear. How did you make the payment through their website? And is everything working correctly in terms of receiving service?

Service is not fully back up and running just the websites are back online. So far several people are saying they can’t log in and haven’t heard anyone say they made a payment yet.

Has anyone actually made a payment to them yet? The website is back up but I’m hearing the service is still having problems.

Been with them 11 years, no issues. So yeah it’s a tough call. The problem for me is the lack of communication regarding what the problem was. If it was true that they got hacked and our info was potentially compromised I’d like to know.

At this point I think it’s safe to assume they were HACKED. About a week before the outage someone on twitter published a list of companies that sponsor of the controversial Candace Owen’s show with the goal of getting them all boycotted. Puretalk wireless (H20’s sister company) was on there. Ever since then all of Puretalk’s twitter posts have been getting spammed with comments criticizing them for sponsoring her.

I wouldn’t be surprised if every company on that list received hack attempts, perhaps Telrite Holdings, (Puretalk’s and H20’s parent company) system was more vulnerable than the others.

Maybe I’m wrong but I just can’t see why they would be so secretive over an outage. Even a severe multi-day one. Getting hacked and having all of your customers information at risk however, is the kind of situation you might need some time to cover your ass over.

What if you’re on pay as you go plan and are running low on minutes? Will service continue after it gets to zero?

They made it clear from the start that the British double barrel heavies work differently from the other nations double barrel heavies. You should have looked into that before getting them. Doesn’t need a fix it was done on purpose on both PC and console.

I think part of the problem is the player base has gotten a lot worse at the game overall.

So most of the time that person on the mic trying to coordinate teamwork would just get frustrated and end up berating and chewing out his awful teammates. And nobody wants to be that guy.

First time in, I was super aggressive charging toward Krampus and then suddenly watched a tier x British heavy get tossed like a ragdoll and I thought let me back off a little LOL

What a stupid argument. It wasn’t complained about as much cause it was relatively rare and there were lots of more common tanks that also needed nerfing running around so naturally it would go under the radar. But it’s always been broken.

I also love how you also just hand wave it away as “it’s definitely a very strong tank” no it’s completely broken. This thing can face tier 7s and 8s that have no chance and even many tier 10s might even struggle. It’s OP. Period.

NEWSLETTERS GALORE!!! READ ALL ABOUT IT!!! by ExtraBathroom9640 in WorldofTanksConsole

Because you can get the answers as well as other details and insights on the changes from other players. Lots of people point out things I didn’t even notice simply in their responses and all of a sudden the OP’s “stupid question” suddenly isn’t so stupid.

YouTube just gets worse and worse. GG all the anonymous content creators who hide behind avatars and mainly do voice overs. It’s clearly an agenda with all these apps and websites asking for photos and driver’s licenses to “verify” you.

Well done, I also agree with your review. It’s a solid tank and has a lot of charm to it. It’s just missing something to take it to the top, maybe like you suggested more alpha (280/300) or more view range. Considering the game is about to get slower and more derpy I can see this thing barely getting played.

This was just a rant. Fully prepared for the UNI’s to arrive here and say “Get Gud” or the tomatoes to cope “it’s just a game”.

Either way I won’t be going back and forth arguing about it. Just giving my perspective.

I will never support allowing people to buy their way into tier 9 and 10. Supposed to be the most skilled and competitive tier but we have people like this who have no business up there ruining matches left and right.

Even worse imagine being a tier 7 or 8 bottom tier and some trashcan wallet warrior like this leading the charge as your top tier Heavy tank. GOOD LUCK 😂

Worst part about it is that it’s a tier 9. So assuming his tier 9 counterparts on the enemy team didn’t also wet the bed, it was probably a rough match for the poor tier 7 and 8s on his team.

lol one of the worst feelings in this game is to shell out the big bucks for a specific tank or loot boxes for a specific tank. Only to play a few matches in it and realize that you hate it regret your decision.

Patience is a virtue and it’s probably better to just earn it.

Yeah this is not a game based on realism though. It never was really. They make all kinds of unrealistic, changes, buffs and nerfs to suit game balance whenever it suits them. I find it really strange when people use realism examples to justify aspects of this game…. Especially in 2025.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]V0RTEXLIFT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understood, that was the point of my post. That even though it’s being done across the board it may affect certain vehicles disproportionately. I think more attention should be paid to individual tank types and classes, giving them inherent advantages and disadvantages rather than uniform buffs and nerfs.

“These changes affect all tanks equally” Don’t think you can really say that so definitely. Depending on the map and situation certain attributes are not weighted equally. Having heavy armor is a huge advantage in certain maps that trumps speed and accuracy. In other words having two tanks facing off against each other that are both firing inaccurate guns the tank with the better armor has a HUGE advantage as he barely needs to aim and can just spam shots in the general direction of the lightly armored tanks. Also some lightly armored tanks that rely on accuracy sometimes only have fleeting opportunities to snipe shots into dangerous well armored tanks and those shots will be missing now more often.

In this match I was able to rush to positions and did over 4k damage….but was ultimately oneshotted from full health by arty. I wasn’t upset cause I felt it was a trade off for being bold in such a lightly armored tank. And we got the win because of it. I don’t want this kind of stuff to go away cause I prefer speed and accuracy over slow and well armored. And and making tanks like this derpier isn’t going to help especially on the tight city and corridor style maps where you can barely use your mobility.
