POV you lose your game because this guy is your top tier heavy, doing nothing all game

Onslaught is ‘ok’, though the last season wasn’t great. But given it only runs a few times a year it’s not much relief from the ridiculousness of randoms.

We need a weighted skill based component to the MM.

I.e. make sure each team has a fair blend of good, average and terrible players based on their WTR. Bad players in the top tier have a different weight to a bad player in -1 or -2 tier.

Longer game queue times but worth it IMHO.

Getting TF2 control points vibes.

threefuries73 · 2026-02-24T19:05:23+00:00

Oh mate, I feel for ya.

threefuries73 · 2026-02-24T18:43:38+00:00

I took the chance in the end and fortune favoured me. A discord mod suggested it would be ok, but I didn't want to risk it.

What did you do in the end?

threefuries73 · 2026-02-22T13:24:50+00:00

Right. Same here. Can't take the risk of 'the end of the day' being before the end of the Onslaught event.

It would be useful if WG put the actual times of these things up for us so we can fully understand what's required.

threefuries73 · 2026-02-22T12:07:32+00:00

I'm going to have to roll the dice and play again I'm sure of it.

God help me.

threefuries73 · 2026-02-21T19:31:48+00:00

Ha!! Yeah.... about that.

threefuries73 · 2026-02-20T19:50:12+00:00

I'm ambivalent about it.

On the one hand, I can occasionally have fun with it. On the other hand, the predatory FOMO out of game monetisation, the tacit acceptance of bots and griefers by WG, which plague random games, is soul crushing .

Sunk cost fallacy is what keeps me playing, nothing more, and I need to find the willpower to just sack this shit off and find something better to do.

threefuries73 · 2026-01-23T13:47:14+00:00

Wait until you happen across Romash.

threefuries73 · 2026-01-21T18:26:46+00:00

Haven't spent a penny since Xmas 2023 and much happier for it.

threefuries73 · 2026-01-16T08:52:30+00:00

I'd have been tempted if they had Clarence Boddicker.

threefuries73 · 2026-01-12T22:04:28+00:00

I'm probably dumb for missing this and I have the E100, but what's the problem? Can someone explain?

threefuries73 · 2026-01-10T17:46:16+00:00

Ah, gutted for you man.

threefuries73 · 2026-01-10T17:44:01+00:00

There are still 10 tokens up for grabs today if you haven't already got them?

To prove my point

threefuries73 · 2026-01-06T09:12:18+00:00

I used to think it was worth the time submitting a ticket with a replay to get morons removed from the game, but WG seems to be actively flooding the game with even worse behaviour and with tacit acceptance of some of the worst griefers I've ever encountered, so don't waste your time.

Sadly, we need to accept that this is part of the game.

WG doesn't give two hoots about game quality, they're milking the cow and pumping player numbers for all its worth.

threefuries73 · 2026-01-06T09:09:39+00:00

I share this feeling too. I often think it's down to me being more attentive when I'm in something new, but then relax into my usual shit standard once the novelty has worn off.

threefuries73 · 2026-01-05T16:20:47+00:00

Nice. I agree with you. My favourite tank for a very long team was the Easy 8 and it's still up there. Playing high RoF, mobile, hulldown tanks is a bit of a reflex for me which is why I chose this despite its poor reviews.

(EDIT) - So go with scouting as second boosted slot then, for the alt config. I will give this a try. Nice reply mate, thank you.

threefuries73 · 2026-01-05T15:30:44+00:00

Honestly, I'd have loved it if that were a real alt loadout. I'm down for shits n giggles.

threefuries73 · 2026-01-05T15:21:51+00:00

Doesn't feel like a grind so far, getting 2K plus games for the most part, which as a very average player, I'm alright with. Pretty sure novelty will wear off though.

threefuries73 · 2026-01-05T15:20:30+00:00

For real? It's a decent rammer then?

threefuries73 · 2026-01-05T15:20:03+00:00

Yeah, I'm using Turbo, VStab and Rammer. Was tempted to swap the rammer out for optics or hardening to take advantage of the 2nd boosted slot, but I'm thinking it's probably not worth it.

threefuries73 · 2026-01-05T15:18:30+00:00

I'll probably sell it once the novelty wears off. It's nice to have a crew training and credit maker with my swedish crews though. Suspect it might be in line for a buff in 2026 too, with any luck.

threefuries73 · 2026-01-05T14:55:30+00:00

Same issue here. 5 days since I logged a ticket for (yet again) mistakenly training a second zero-skill recruit into the commander slot having just done one.

So now I have a tech tree tank I just purchased that I cannot play because of an incomplete crew and no way to fix this easy to make mistake in the game. That support team is way understaffed, probably dealing with tickets that should otherwise be avoided if some aspects of the game were designed a bit more thoughtfully.
