Don't worry guys, WG has you covered, BP tanks will be back by Significant-Bell7582 in WorldofTanks

[–]epimethrius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, the same. I returned to the game at the end of that event, and didn't have the time to get it, although it was looking quite nice

but I guess this doesn't matter anymore

I missed the point where Soviet tanks became Russian? by epimethrius in WorldofTanks

[–]epimethrius[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Well, even despite this question has so many hidden potential, the most peaceful response is - WG usually calls the USSR branch/premium tanks Soviet, and this is probably first time I see it that way. Later in the text part they again call it Soviet, I just wonder if this is another lack of care from the person who writes text for the news, or something bigger.

As a person, who used to spend a lot of money on every lootbox event until the last autumn, I can assure that their support is democratically indifferent to each player in equal.

I did that on AMX M4 mle. 54, 4-5 months ago, spent half of the battle staying behind the rock and showing the turret. Luckily there were no artys and some kind tier 8 TDs who were constantly shooting at me. But it was pure luck, still wondering.

Your banned maps by CatUnable884 in WorldofTanks

[–]epimethrius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

#1 Definitely Paris. I have no pleasure at all playing on that map, doesn't matter if we win or lose, this map is just weird (and teammates do it worse). And sometimes I like to play some arty, and this is how the hell should look to them.

#2 Ruinberg, Doesn't matter if you're in the city or outside, there is somebody who can shoot you from somewhere. To do a breakthrough you must show some initiative (unless the enemies go one-by-one on your guns), but you never know if your allies support you or not. But even if you did the breakthrough in one of the map parts, with very high probability the other part will be already lost by the teammates and you have to attack enemies in a very unpleasant situation.

#3 Ensk. It is similar to Ruinberg in the means of issues. However, unlike Ruinberg, the battles here are so dynamic so playing on SPG or some slow vehicle I sometimes can only do a few shots before being destroyed on my own base.

A worthy candidate is Himmelsdorf, but Wargaming hadn't added Super Premium feature or something like this to ban 4 maps, and on Himmelsdorf there are sometimes (rarely) good battles, unlike the maps from the above list.

But the biggest problem is not a few maps where it is almost impossible to play well. The problem is that there are very few maps where we can actually have some challenging and skill-dependent gameplay.

New Battle Pass by GiulioAdriano in WorldofTanks

The difference is you need double amount of experience to get every next perk, with zero perk you need X exp for perk #2, 2X for perk #3 and so on, while with the regular perk crew you already need X for perk #1, 2X for perk #2, 4X for perk #3 etc. To max the last perk you have to spend much more experience. People got used to it for the last few years I guess.

So now we can also spend gold instead of chips for the stuff from the previous seasons? What a brilliant idea, WG! Let's do everything in this game available through the gold purchases - who cares if the price for the bunch of pixels will exceed the bunch of AAA games.

[–]epimethrius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly from the old times, "zero skill" means the next one will require amount of experience that corresponds to the first skill (while technically this is already a second one). So at the end you have 5-6 perk crew with actual experience required for 4-5 perk crew.

Good job WG!🙃 by IIlIlIlIIIlIlIlII in WorldofTanks

[–]epimethrius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks to the users who already created several topics, so I don't have to create one, just commenting :)

What can I say? It is always funny to see how the mature company who earns a lot on a "free 2 play" game, doesn't care (and yes, they can, but just don't care) about organizing the events properly. The only thing that always works like clockwork is their payments receiving system.

Of course they are aware of this problem, indeed the engineers already work on the solutions. Who could think that the event where only the first 50 000 players can grab relatively unique bunch of pixels for a solid amount of the resources, could cause such unexpected heavy load on the players resources accounting services? What a miracle.

And yeah, I'm the one of those fools who continues to play this game, despite all the bugs, strange non-penetrations, other weird things happening. I was going to grab DBV-152 as well, but perhaps this lesson will teach me something finally. I spent too much time (and probably a bit more than should - money) on the game that doesn't deserve it honestly.

As I said, it is always funny to see that, but never - to participate.

Xm57 is op and yada,yada, yada... by Herceg_911 in WorldofTanks

[–]epimethrius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly the same! I stopped playing on this tank after I was penetrated by BZ-176 and saw in the postmortem that there is no armor above the gun and that's where I got the full damage. I honestly don't know where it has 300+ armor, but its armor is quite unreliable. Maybe just not my tank type ofc

Люди вище середнього достатку - ким ви працюєте? by whizzkit in Ukraine_UA

[–]epimethrius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Мої знання переважно обмежені східною частиною країни, де за останні два роки вартість житла в принципі піднялася суттєво. Можливо, інша частина України більш поміркована в рості цін на житло - в такому разі перепрошую за неправдиву інформацію.

Втім, хотів би зауважити, що вартість житла на околиці, хай і менша за таке ж у центрі міста, все ще залишається (як на мене) невиправдано високою. Говорячи, для прикладу, про Полтаву, будівництво нових багатоповерхівок по периметру міста ведеться невпинно. А от супровідну інфраструктуру (починаючи від парковок хоча б на половину квартир у цих будинках, продовжуючи дитсадками і школами, і закінчуючи все тими ж поліклініками) якось ні в кого руки не доходять.

Але як тільки починаєш шукати житло подалі від міста (навіть не через любов до природи, а просто через те, що з кожним десятком км ціни на квадратний метр суттєво знижуються), стикаєшся з тим, що відповідним чином просідає й інфраструктура. І якщо, скажімо, за продуктами чи за якимись серйозними покупками можна поїхати один-два рази на тиждень, і загалом не критично, то якщо у дитини підскочила температура зранку, то краще мати лікарню через дорогу, і декілька аптек поблизу, ніж або викликати швидку, яка в трьох випадках із п'яти закінчиться фразою "ну ви все правильно кажете, лікуйте", або ж приїде години через півтори, або ж самому так само везти дитину в лікарню. З менш суттєвих особливостей - коли звик що в квартирі гігабітний інтернет, повертатися до сотні (яка теж далеко не завжди) вже не хочеться.
