Hello warriors,
Wargaming RU uses the Twitter to sometimes quickly mention upcoming features. Here's what they wrote recently:
- another "tank marathon" ("grind a gazillion XP to get IS-6" and such) is coming (to RU server anyway and no, these events are not always shared)
- new chat system will come by the end of summer
- the issue where you get the same map many times in a row is going to be fixed soon
The last one is doubtful and most likely a PR stunt, as Storm yesterday confirmed this issue will not be fixed anytime soon. Nevertheless, we will be waiting.
RU get grind mission for tier 8. US get login mission for tier 6 + bonuses.
ReplyDeleteWG: "Missions balanced out in time"
EU get grind for least liked tier 5 premium
WG RU: "hey, you guys want another tier 8?"
Maybe this time reward will be fearful Chinese tier VIII HT :)
ReplyDeleteWe had the 111 before.. Just give us the IS-6 :P
DeleteWhy not a medium like the T-34-3 or CDC, sick and tired of heavies...
DeleteDoubt it. That was in the unified grind mission done previously.
ReplyDeleteFYI: that is the way to do it WG!
I want a german one, don't give a shit what tier...
ReplyDeleteP 8.8 would be awsome or Löwe but I don't think they ever put those 2 in a grind mission...
maybe the utterly crap Jt 8.8?(that tank is so bad, it's fully worth to giveaway in a grind mission..)
JT88 is decent. It can be so OP in defensive situations... 240 damage every 4.4 seconds while being invulnerable.
DeleteBeing slow and having a low alpha gun can be hard to deal with sometimes though.
JT88 is probably one of the most profitable t8 moneymakers though due to a combination of cheap ammo, accuracy, penetration and moderate repair costs
well, if u check the stats, 5 best money making tanks are (by far): T34, FCM 50, Lowe, Type 59 and JT88, so i rly doubt they will put them out for free/as a grind reward. And since we just got the "amazing" Chi nu kai, i think there is no way WG EU wil give us another premium tank anytime soon...
DeleteWait, what. The jt 88 is great fun. A lot better than the Lowe I can tell you.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, I'd much rather get a Jagdtiger 8.8 then an IS-6 or Löwe, it makes huge amount of cash and that gun is not so bad keeping in mind that it has limited MM :)
DeleteThe JT 88 is only good at certain situations, particularly defensive ones which it can basically pull the lever and have money poured over you. Trade off being it's not that versatile of a tank. I would prefer the IS-6 and Lowe over this as "most" of the matches require you to be seeking for damage. You just don't see a combination of stupid enemies. the right position and the right time in WoT matches that much.
DeleteI'd also say no arty is required. As soon as you get hulldown this thing is awesome, but then you get punished by arty in 90% of all spots.
DeleteOn Hinmelsdorf and ruinburg the JT88 can be devastating as long as people don't corner fight or flank you.
DeleteJT is FUN sometimes, frustrating other times.
DeleteIts like if it had dead driver and damaged engine. If you wanna turn around, you'd better take a day off from work.
But in cases where you just sit and defend something, it's awesome.
Damn, I wish they gave away a trolling arty (LeFH or stuff like that). While less than 10% of my games are in arty, I enjoy the fact that it exists and it brings rage to the campers. Especially to the static heavies/TDs, the ones that pick a vantage point in the beginning of the battle and stay there, no matter where the team could use some actual help.
DeleteP.S.: my humble stats, as an actual player (and not a statpadder), the one that tries to flex to the undefended side and stuff like that: http://www.vbaddict.net/player/barbu64-eu-0486312433c4785b7218a036749f4480
Not bad for 1200 battles I've gotta say. As long as players show willingless to improve, listen to others and cooperate when it counts, then stats don't really matter :).

- the issue where you get the same map many times in a row is going to be fixed soon
ReplyDeleteCan be quite severe, especially when you're not only playing standard, but also encounter and assault.
If you want less monotony then remove assault because only few maps are made for assault. Also, WG uses a map rotation. every specific amount of time the map rotation switches so if you want to play lights and all you get is town maps, try playing other tanks until you see your tanks in rotation. I do this and it strongly reduces frustration levels for me.
Delete/// Wasnt that map thing as intended?
ReplyDeleteSrly... Like in "mm doesnt care Maps" so no fix necessary.
- new chat system will come by the end of summer
/// so after just 5+ years they consider chatt being important to an mmo? (1year beta/alpha)
Nice prioritys. But cant image it, to have all i want, of a good system.
Set my expertations low.
Hopefully EU will get this mission; considering we lost out on the T34 or SU-100Y one. A Lowe would be nice, or maybe something like the T-34-85M or another "special" tank.
