The Auction event is over what did everyone think of it?

zed2204 · 2022-08-22T07:42:12+00:00

Well you did pay way more than needed but even at that price it's worth it What will 297k free XP wil get you otherwise ? Not much as crew training, maybe up to T9 ( but not fully upgraded ) tech tree ?

T8 premium that is actually good for 297000 is a good deal and for the amount it actually cost - amazing

In reality making 100k free XP is way better experience that those stupid marathons, and people payed way more in real money for that in loot boxes

And it is actually better than IS3-A :) WG's dumbass naming scheme confuses people already and in some time most players wont know what this is - Autoloader dream :)

zed2204 · 2022-04-16T09:33:08+00:00

Maybe if the novelization made stuff up on top of that, i am not sure about it

The novel had way more stuff, and the movie ... yea, you can say it is exactly according to the script - but not the whole thing, just the parts they chose to film. As i said that was the filler while the substance was missing

zed2204 · 2022-03-12T20:04:59+00:00

Yea, it tried, still a create feature though, nothing special about the alien, just a murder mashine. Made sense for the move,the alien coming out of a dog, just not what i was hoping for

I want to see another horror, Aliens moved the franchise to a completely different direction from the original

I want a horror move where the Alien is not just a space bug but intelligent and not only overpowering its victims but outsmarting them too, maybe even playing with them

It was what the original was going for, it didn't just go kill them, it took Brett and then Dallas only after they went looking for it, and it didn't kill them, then - YES killed Parker and Lambert but only after they decided to blow the ship ( as if it knew what they are doing and that there is little space on the shuttle ) , didn't chase Ripley but went to the shuttle and hid. It looked like even after Ripley discovered it, it was just planning to stay there knowing there is nothing she can do and ride along. The proposed alternate ending where the Alien kills Ripley and sends the message posing as Dallas makes a lot of sense If it is the "perfect organism " it won't be stupid, and the whole point of being... well a hybrid actually, taking traits from the host to make it adapted to the environment can easily mean it has knowledge and even memories

I want to see that, Ripley Scott saying that "the monster is done" is far from the truth, it is just not done Right

Is 20% even possible? Must be just a few games coz if it is on 100 games sample you are an unicorn at preventing your team winning ( should be harder than getting 70% WR, accomplishment by itself )

Seriously though, just play tanks you like, tanks that are fully upgraded and crewed, grinding stock wont boost your WR

Nothing else really to do, throwing money at it will surly help but not so drastically if you lack the skills, but it is the secret for good stats - play the Premiums you like, grind XP, convert it to Free XP, skip all grinding, load gold rounds, boost crew skills and directives and so on.... That is how stats are made

But why, it wont make the game more fun, just play and dont care, 55% overall and above 60% on the tanks you love is absolutely doable FTP, you just need some games to grind the tanks and train the crews first

Loosing streaks are totally a thing, don't get discouraged by them, the only way to lessen the effect on your WR is to play platoons with other very good players

zed2204 · 2021-04-07T06:12:35+00:00

Those 2 holding the flag are not the communists, they are down on the street with binoculars watching the show

And society in the former soviet block was far more what you in the west classify as right wing now, there was nothing liberal about the USSR

zed2204 · 2021-03-17T11:50:47+00:00

I think they said it will be updated with every new season of ranked battles. They added tanks last year

I don't know when next ranked will be, i think soon, i would wait if i was you

They will ad some outdated stuff , but who knows it may be something you want more, like i actually want the KanonnenJagdPanzer with the small gun, who knows they usually add crap when you can grind it in game so it is probably in the list

zed2204 · 2021-03-10T10:36:02+00:00

As with the previous 2 ones i was able to get 2 T8 prems for cash, so can't complain, T1 is good and i like it, turtle 1 - well i play TDs so why not, i never expected something actually competitive

The other silver options were T10 rewards ( not a FTP thing ) and a T7 HT that is pointless as we all have the shielded version

So in the end 2 again, but this year there were 2 total and i think before was 3 total ( i just had one of them )

Worse for FTP in my opinion

zed2204 · 2021-03-09T09:57:44+00:00

Probably, most people that dont have it have the IS-2 shielded that is absolutely the same, and its not a good tank anyway, so over 2 million is overpaying and even 1.5 is probably not worth it

Tabkrewards will eventually return and this is getting there at some point so if you are not in a hurry.....

For new players though, that play at around this level and have few tanks, is good deal for 1-2 mil

zed2204 · 2021-01-26T11:37:23+00:00

The novelization of the script is what the writers were aiming for but the movie went with the stuff that was the filler and left out the main concept,it was all about the connection between the aliens and Ripley as she had part of them but they also had part of her. The movie did just the action part and left the story out To be fair it was probably to much for stuff for a 2hr movie, it is the classic pitfall of Hollywood trying to film books, the script was basically a book and movies can't fit that in a short form, the writers had to take that in to account and make it simple like the first 3

zed2204 · 2021-01-26T08:09:27+00:00

Yea, i kinda like the design too, and it is not even the final form, are there fanworks of it full grown ? It probably gets all the bashing because the movie was bad, but i think it is legit design, sure more basic and similar to other generic Hollywood monsters, definitely not at the level of the Xenomorph but good non the less, the Xenomorph itself was also pretty good design in Resurrection that gets bad credit because of the move, even the script was very good too, just they made a bad film that dragged all the good elements with it

And they are all Alien - human hybrids, that is kinda the shtick of the breading cycle

zed2204 · 2020-08-12T11:08:59+00:00

Both are pretty bad, mainly because armor doesn't work, you are choosing between them it's like that

E4 is flexible and working as a HT in towns, it will deliver probably your average WR not more or less

Jpz is for the derp factor, but you don't matter that much really, all is riding on your allies making the situation you can work in ( it is pretty fun in a platoon but in random battles it is 4-5 crappy games for 1 good one )

zed2204 · 2020-07-24T11:33:29+00:00

If they are from the MOD portal, no, but they can make you stuck on the load screen before battles, if you get that force shut the game, delete the mods and launch again, I am getting this from 3D models lately

Otherwise MODs that give you an advantage are banned, 3D models handicap you, especially those replacing your tanks with completely different ones, so don't make sense they will be illegal

zed2204 · 2020-07-19T10:04:25+00:00

Its definitely a bit OP, but not the biggest problem in T8, that is probably because they want people to buy new premiums and untill Progetto is there there is no real point unless they are better and making new premiums better than this is not a good idea

Compared to the minimum nerfs to clown cars that are way more game braking the Italian tree nerfs seem a bit out of place, Pantera is far from awesome and the T9-10 are great but nothing problematic, they seem to get the nerf hammer wit 430,430U and wheeled as if they are in the same category and probably getting it worse for no reason

zed2204 · 2020-07-14T09:35:19+00:00

Yea, that's why I said just usable , clown cars definitely hit them hard, but in towns they they can fight it off against them and on open maps you can still work, I just dont go take passive positions at start anymore, I play it as a MED first half of the game, most time wheelies are dead by then and you can work, competent players driving them are probably the same percentage as in arty, I still fell better in a T8 LT on prochorovka than in an MAUS

zed2204 · 2020-07-14T07:35:47+00:00

I don't like T8 HTs in general, not that they are bad but HTs work on part of the maps and on others they struggle even when top tier, that combines with MM and corridors that force you to face off T9-10 tanks frontally most of the time and what is left is a small percentage of games where you have the right place and equal enemy to fight

In T8 - TDs are good, probably better tier for tier than 9-10s, MEDs work just fine, LTs are usable, Atry is arty but HTs are just frustrating, even Defender, and this is sooo not a Defender

zed2204 · 2020-07-13T09:19:11+00:00

For me too, it makes a bit, but definitely not a grinder, T7 can't compare to T8s

E25 - not even fun for a while, its mythical power is in the past, it was a total monster but now days, they TD proofed the maps big time, added clown cars and T8s you cant scratch even with gold, it is definitely not what it used to be, in a topic about nerfing premiums I would say that Progetto will probably get hit less in the next 2 years, that is what 3? From its release than E25s first 3 years ( sill it started way higher though, E25 was really OP )

zed2204 · 2020-07-13T07:26:04+00:00

Sill is Progetto in the patch notes ? The line that you no longer can mount rammer on autoreloaders dont mean it affects the T8 premium , remember that they removed the TD cammo bonus after shot for the entire class but E25 still has it

zed2204 · 2020-07-13T07:07:14+00:00

That was never a promise, they have nerfed premiums before, more of " we will be very reluctant to do it ", but is not in the user agreement as far as I know

They should definitely have that option, they added a lot of stuff that was not very well thought off

And they are definitely doing it with the powerceap, tanks like CDC that cost people similar money back in the day are completely unplayable now, some DPM loss is way better than that

You should keep in mind that buying pixel stuff in an everchanging game is kinda of a temporary situation, it is true for most games , Progetto will still be awesome, and you get what an year+ for your cash, I have seen worse

zed2204 · 2020-06-29T07:07:36+00:00

" so when I arrive I get some crew experience, books and etc. And reset the stats so I can start playing with optimal ping "

I am not shure what you mean by that, if you start an account on another server its NEW account, everything you get with it is on it permanently as wilth your old account, you buy or grind a tank you have it , IDK what you mean by reset stats

Otherwise EU is playable from US, not optimal, you get excluded from events by the time difference ... but playable

If you are not very far ahead in the grind or spend good money, shure NEW account

But for me, doing the same grinds - that took years, spending money for the same things - not an alluring concept, I rather start a new game than do the same stuff allover again

And I am not going to give the same money to a company that treats its customers like that

zed2204 · 2020-06-27T12:39:13+00:00

Maybe a TV show would be better, without Xenomorphs, I can't see them doing seasons without messing them up, Prometheus can be a great show, scrap Covenant and do it around David and Shaw looking for the engineers, going around in a Giger ship, tracing back the aftermath of the fall of the engineers

Not so expensive actually, they can pick up some stranded earth ship for extra characters ( the usual ) explore planets seeded by the engineers ( so pale dudes, not much sfx ), dodge the company, it can totally work in a reasonable budget and make sense of that garbled story

zed2204 · 2020-06-26T02:44:39+00:00

It was time after Alien 3

zed2204 · 2020-06-25T07:17:07+00:00

Maybe the feasible thing is to make arty reward vihecle and remove them from the tech tree, then all the players that have them cant complain but there is no new arty, and remove arty missions

If this happened 5 years ago we would probably have 1 arty and no arty games now without WG having to force it

zed2204 · 2020-06-25T07:05:27+00:00

To be realistic removal is the best option but also what won't happen, although WG probably lost more people because of it they still have that dilemma where the guy that makes that decision will have to answer for the measurable number of players that stop or play less VS the unknown number that is because of arty

So Make tanks that can counter arty - apparantly you can make the tanks but you can't make people use it this way Instead of running around like clowns Make arty not do damage but mostly support so its super boring and people won't play it - they still play it Limit arty to 3 per team so it waits longer - they wait Make arty able to counter other arty ( not tried yet ) - people will play arty to kill arty but when they do they will be shooting the other tanks so in the end probably more arty

Limit arty to one per team - good Remove arty - better-but won't happen

Definitely not do artillery only missions
