haha!
More!More!More!
im with you , where is my paypall shortcut.

ok, so your mad at wargaming for putting new game modes in.....and do you see why they dont listen to you?
you- "i want new game modes"
wargaming- ok, they are in development."
you- yay! i want them now!
you with new game modes- I HATE YOU ALL SUCKY GAME MODES!!!!!!"
wargaming-...."sigh...."

the new modes makes old maps fresh again..its needed.and happy .less stagnant less boredome.new tactics.

The new game modes are a lot better thought-out than they might first appear.   So far I've found effective strategies for both sides of all of them, even in pub matches.

I think the main thing making them suck hard on the test server is that a large percentage of the RU players don't understand what they are and keep trying to do things like "capture" the assaulting team's spawn point.   This quickly leads to the other team steamrolling you.

Assault mode doesn't seem to cause much confusion, but Meeting Engagement can be comically bad sometimes. I really don't understand what the difficulty is - it's still just kill the enemy and/or capture the flag. And yet, it seems to have players struggling to grasp the concept.

you will adapt

The first week on Live will be bad. I'm sure 90% of players don't visit the forums or read patch notes. Should be fine after that.

I'd just like historical battles... As in 15 stock Shermans verse an elite Tiger xD

What ... wait ... WHAT??? We're getting witches in WOT??? Cool!!! Magical tanks that can cast spells. 7.4 should be the coolest thing since cool began!!!

Any chance those new game modes will be tossed into UC battles too?

It's been a pleasure having you on board.  We will really miss you.  I have a virtual card being passed around to sign by the whole community.  Even the EU and RA guys are a little sad you are leaving.

You will be sorely missed.




You could also read this as:

Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out ...



Seriously this whinging and complaining is getting out of hand.  Are there really that many people out there with nothing better to do?

It's an unfounded complaint at that. Assault mode still has the teams starting on opposite sides of the map, just like normal, except only one team has a flag. It's really no different as far as SPG setups go (though the locations are of course different).

I would agree that it would be preferable, but it ain't gonna happen. It would cause too much of a problem with the MM and wait times to get into a match. It would also require some rather extensive programming changes to do it. Might as well ask them to let you shoot the birds!

I haven't tried the new game modes, but based on what I've read, I'm concerned about how they will play out when the patch goes live.

We've all seen first hand how abysmally low the collective intelligence of an average pub match can sink. It seems that every game, at least one person can't grasp the concept that sitting still out in the open is a bad idea.  Every couple of games we have a 8-10 tank lemming rush to one side of the map. I've seen a lone surviving T95 kill 12 because they literally drove straight at him, one or two at a time while being considerate enough to give him time to reload.

Now you want to give the average pubbie game modes where coordination and fire discipline are REQUIRED to win a match?   I can only hope for the best...

Never seen any camping on the test server... Way too early to say it "promote" camping.

It is incorrect to call them new game modes, they are simply new maps. A "game mode" is a "game within a game". It allows players to CHOOSE different strategic options within the same game. By definition "game modes" ARE SELECTABLE BY THE PLAYER, which is the whole point of having different game modes within a single game. It is simply not accurate to call these "game modes" as they are not selectable by the player, which is a critical part of the definition of the term.

This isn't an opinion, I was designing games before there even was a computer game industry. A "game mode" is a "game within the game" that allows players to choose a different set of strategic objectives. If you can't choose it, it is by definition not a "game mode", it is simply a different map.
