ReplyDeleteYup...Google "most traumatic children movie" or "Bambie"
DeleteIts a term for Newbie, a new player in a game.
DeleteNice to see they got their noobs out
DeletePz1C (tier 3) is about as much fun as you can have in WoT, plus I normally warm up with a couple of the gift/new year presents :-)
Delete"- There is currently no info available on when historical battles might return (RG: Should it return?);"
ReplyDeleteYes, but it'll be tough to get enough people in it and to balance them.

ReplyDelete+++ why the idiots dont remove that ammo from test then!? or at least limit on test...?

+++ like you have to go lowtier for seal clubbing!
ppl with 1-2> k games in Löwe...
ppl with straight line to Maus and at best 4k games - stoopid enough to drive around corners 90° flat sided as well front first! (ebay accounts/botter)
ppl firing HE on my Kv4 (with sub 100mm guns)
Its good that seal clubbing is no more... < if u find sarcasm, keep the change!
I have been playing Cruiser 4 for ontrack and see no differance
DeleteI also cannot understand why they allow the use of so much gold ammo in the testing. It does not jive with what they say about testing conditions for balancing. How can they do the balancing correctly if they allow people to run straight gold in the test server?
DeleteAfter how many battles do you stop being considered as a newbie and so leave safezone? (or is it based on another criteria?)

Is there some sort of problem with the T-54 lightweight guns I don't know about. I think the idiot gun does fine on it. Sure, it would be nice to have 320 alpha and 201/330 pen, but that would just make it OP.
ReplyDeleteAs for the new player/experienced player split at low tiers, don't expect it to work out on the NA server. The population is pretty low overall compared to RU and EU, and even at peak hours there are not a lot of people playing lower tiers. I have a couple of low tier premiums that I sometimes run for crew training and the wait times to get into low tier games are already significantly longer than higher tiers. So, what will happen, either matchmaker will ignore the new rule, or there will be 7 on 7 matches for experienced players, likely after a 2-3 minute wait, and the new player matches will have 4 or 5 gold spam bots per side.
If Wg know what is best for them they should make Historical battles like a co-op mode with bots - AW seems to do a sweet job at that part in particular. Also many players really should stick to single player games lol
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know more about the new low tier matchmaking, will it be a complete separation ? like experienced players only meeting experienced players ...
ReplyDeleteThis may change low tier gameplay a lot, as good players are much more able to get rid of a td quickly for example.
"- In World of Tanks, vehicle MM weight has no influence on the probability of ending in various battle tiers of the MM spread;"
ReplyDeleteBut thats the purpose of the vehicle MM weight, higher MM weight means more times in bottom tier, and less MM weight means more times as top tier...
No it doesn't, MM weight alters the tank composition of your team, not the tier of the battle. MM will try to make it so both teams have about the same grand total of MM weight points. For example, a T29 has higher MM weight than a T20, which has higher MM weight than a VK2801. If your team got a T29, and the enemy team only got a T20, it's likely your team would have gotten that VK2801 instead of a bigger vehicle.
DeleteIt's just one way of saying "look this tank is better than these ones, but we dont want to nerf it so we'll just increase the weight". Kinda lazy.
"- There is currently no info available on when historical battles might return (RG: Should it return?);"
ReplyDeleteI kinda liked them honestly.
It was the only way how to play tanks in their real configuration. Tiger with short 88, Panther with L70, etc. Suddenly even paper tank like tiger I was heavy armored behemoth we know from movies and history channels.
The only downside was 15 minute long waiting in queue.
If they could rebalance it so that not everybody wants to play tier 8 it would be great.
the interesting comment - as it pertains to driving T-70s etc and other tier 4 tanks in a tier 7 battle was that no-one like being ineffective and playing such a small contribution. Personally I didn't like that it was just same side for the same nationality on the same map.
Deletethats why I told they should rebalance it somehow.
DeleteI enjoyed it. On both ends, Tiger II or Pz III, was fun pretty much every time. The waiting time was the problem. Make it more appealing to the, not masses, but more people
Delete- Vehicles are balanced around regular shells, gold shells "are taken into account, but they are not a balancing parameter"
ReplyDeleteWhich is exactly why they're going to buff tanks who have their gold ammo nerfed...
Seriously WG, make up your mind and stop contradicting yourself week after week
The buff to the is-4 lower plate is substantial in my opinion. should be at least competitive with the is-7 now
ReplyDeleteYes i can play my favorite low tier tanks like the BT-7 and the Pz1c without feeling like a piece of shit and i can get in to some of my low tier prems too like the tetrarch t2 light ltp t15 locust which i havent driven in a LONG time
ReplyDeleteYes and it'll be nice not to be 10-0 down after 30 seconds!
Deletealso finally a reason to start playing my st-1 again because my is-8 crew has been sitting in my is-6 for a long time its about time they got somewhere else to go :)
ReplyDeleteWhat is the delineation of lower tiers?
