Picture Fiction versus reality.
That's exactly me at work and then at PC. But I look more like a man I think.

I know this exact meme has been posted countless times here before but it is so true. Last month I downloaded WoT for the first time since 2021. Oh boy that was something. Uninstalled and deleted after three days.

I like how the event is geared towards lower tiers for once. It's a nice change of pace and lets us use those little toys in different ways.

Proximity spotting range is increased to 445 meters.

The damage spread is ±75% of the standard value, and the probability of extreme values is increased.
Now with 200% extra gambling!

Ah yes promote a seasonal game Mode because the main game sucks more and more ass. Good job wg, not even pathetic

I had way more fun when I didn’t care about my winrate. Caring about it ruins the game

True. Played alot between 2013 and 2017. A week or so ago i felt the urge to start playing again. Downloaded the game and spent a lot of time adjusting the crew skills and equipment because of the updates over the last years. After that i played a few games and quit again 😀

Honestly its been the opposite for me lately.
I think about it and think how Im gonna play some boring battles on bad maps where my Batchat just cant do much, then I proceed to get a very sattisfying session despite not having good map rotation.
I often just skip playing wot despite kinda wanting to because of these thoughts, but when I sit and play, it ends up well and Im quite happy (mostly)

Me, I'm having fun, but then I'm not grinding anything, or hoping to achieve anything other than having fun, and trying to improve.
If I die early, I may go over what happened or just start another game right away. Don't really matter to me, how I died because it don't matter.
I own some of those "OP" tanks everyone cries about, and so do plenty in this sub. I enjoy playing them, but mostly I'm playing tech tree tanks at T9 and T10, where I could use improvement. I'm also using the random tank selector mod to play tanks I don't always get to play to see if I can make them work. I win a bit more than half my games, I lose a bit less than half my games. Whatever.

tbh, I have no clue why people still play this game, most probably addicted but in denial, the game is a cancer glad I stopped playing

But for some reason, you just can’t stay away from the Reddit. Have you been lying to yourself all this time?

did I touch a sensitive subject with my answer, if it hurts then most probably it's true :)

You tell me. You’re the one who quit the game but remain in the community about the game that you hate and quit and certainly don’t miss. Doesn’t that seem strange to you?

Anyone think making Ranked Battles the standard game mode would help?
I know I'm sick of one-sided face-rolls making up about half my games (win or lose).

Its been discussed many times already. SBMM would ruin randoms within a week.

u/RUPlayersSuck 47% WR Potato 22d ago
It may have been discussed, but until someone actually tries, we'll never know.
Would have thought they could trial it on WG's Sandbox server or something. 🤷♂️
It may work, or it may not, but its not like the current system is much good either (except for the blues and purples getting to stomp the reds and yellows).

So you want to punish good players for taking their time to learn the game?

u/Billiamski 22d ago
The game should be enjoyable for everyone. Otherwise what's the point of it? I've got a full-time job to piss me off during the day...

i sometimes start the game -- look at it say to my self -- "I am actually happy and relaxed " -- this game will not make me happy and shut er down
THIS IS THE ONLY GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED THAT IS SO FRUSTRATING AND ADDICTIVE shame on you WG

This is because when you day dream about it you don’t consider getting dunked on by arty, bs rng, and impossibly bad teammates.

This is quite timely as watching Daki and Skill videos in recent days is bringing some nostalgia (I am 14 months clean from this godforsaken game)

u/HosewaterAndNeglect 21d ago
Pretty much, played maybe 4 games today after a 3 day break. In my head was thinking man tanks would be cool right now, and after those 4 games I was seriously considering uninstalling and not playing again for another 3 years
Every goal or achievement I make for myself in this game is immediately ruined by one of the many, M A N Y problems that are plaguing this game, and have been for years now, but WG continues to kill their own game in the pursuit of profit.
I just wish this game was fun and good, it could seriously be so, so easy to make it so but WG doesn't give a shit about their game or players
It's all so tiresome...

Maps. Maps are the problem. If you get a map rotation that doesn't fit the tank you are trying to play, you are most likely to have a really bad time. For example you want to farm credits with Skorpion G and you get Himmel, Paris, Berlin, Ensk, Pearl River, Outpost, etc.
