As you progress, you get better. You might say that just because you progress doesn’t make you magically better, but compare the average skill level of a player at top tier before and after the Click-Bait was released.
Knowledge on how to play the game comes from time spent in it mostly, and not just wishing yourself to get better or something. It’s supposed to prevent them because they’re supposed to play enough at high tier to unlock higher tier vehicles.
I’m fine with 10.0/10.3 premiums, because they aren’t top tier and don’t see top tier games, but the 11.3 premiums are currently ruining the game. I just want one tier in the game where you don’t have to worry about premium spam and can play against similarly skilled players.
As it is, most games end in the enemy or your spawn within 5 minutes at top tier.
After spending hundreds of hours grinding to top tier for a single country, I have the right to actually want to have fun while playing that top tier tank I spent so long unlocking.
You’ll see this all the way down to 1.0. A lot of games turn into steamrolls with one team or another in the other’s spawn in about 5 minutes. Its very rare that any game is a good competitive slugfest that goes total game duration.
The reason of course is unequal player skill levels. You have high level players clubbing newbs in low tiers and you have wallet warriors infesting high tiers.
Player performance indexing by the MM will fix this.
People of all skill levels being at top-tier predates that one particular premium by years.
There is no meaningful “skill”/“learning” difference between reaching 10.3 and reaching 11.3. This is nothing but a very transparent way of complaining about the specific corner of the game you happen to be playing.
lol
But really, no, this is a multiplayer(!) video game. You do not have the “right” to control how other players choose to play the game.
And if these “low skill” players are so common that you feel the need to complain about them, then there are just as many on the other team for you to get some easy kills.
It’s up to you and you alone to have the right perspective that allows you to have fun. This is a personal problem; others are not responsible for your happiness.
If by top tier you mean 10.0/10.3, sure. Do you even play top tier right now?
Yes there is. If you want to get to top tier, but are forced to play a 10.3 tank, you will have to grind the whole tech tree to get to top tier. Meanwhile now you can just buy a top tier tank at level 1.
People do not “choose” to be bad at the game. There is a difference between personal strategy and skill.
Did you read what I wrote? Matches where you stomp the enemy team after 5 minutes aren’t fun either.
The “but players on both teams are bad” idea also fails to consider the fact that most games aren’t mixed battles and Click-Bait players end up on only one team or the other.
Damn, Uranium with the cope takes again. You really are searching the threads of it.
The only thing I can say is lock Pemiums to Tiers that you unlock with lvls. 0-10 Tier I+2 Premiums, 20-30 Tier 3 Premiums, 30-40 Tier 4 Premiums etc. (or maybe different levels but by god pls no more lvl 8 high-tier premiums…
They’re not wrong in principle on this point. Every time Gaijin introduces a new “pack” vehicle and aggressively markets it, you get a flood of new players at whatever BR it happens to be at. Top tier just sells better and the player population is much smaller to its effect is magnified.
You have a win rate of 44% worse than mine and I play on console.So who is the terrible player?
This forum always has posts from long term veterans with 25000 games saying goodbye to this game and the forum laugh at them when they go.Then we have posts like yours and a forum full of ODL complaints.
Even leading content creators on Youtube have stated they find Top tier unplayable or simply no fun especially USA.
So the old players are going and the WT community are still in denial over it.
That is just tough.Top tier vets once liked this game now they don’t and they are going only to replaced by Whales buying in. You have tiny teams because the players are not there.
Try and suggest this game is dying and see how hammered you get by the Gaijin butt kissing posse all telling you nothing has changed.
Gaijin wont change anything (apart form good maps) and calling for change is frowned upon heavily on this forum.So suck it up or leave like all the other good players did.
I would agree but WR is what everybody seems to be throwing at each other.
If the OP can’t win a game with a bunch of losers then his WR will plummet which is why it seems silly to go to stats.
All boils down to defining a dying game.So numbers are the same allegedly but all the good guys left top tier and were replaced by God knows what so is the game collapsing or not?
Back to numbers again ,the OP only has 4310 games so what does that tell you?
How many times do we get a post that some player has had enough and are quitting. You look at their profile and its 25000-30000 games.
Is that a laughing matter? We all do mock them though don’t we but who has the last laugh really?
We are losing top players here or experienced people at least.You think the game wont take any kind of hit as a result?
Here he is .A person so utterly pretentious in all he posts yet can’t grasp a simple concept.You do make my day old chap.A man consumed by the exuberance of his own verbosity indeed.
Good players leave the game , game dies at it’s most difficult level, Bleeding Uranium doesn’t get it but let us all praise his intellect any way…actually …let’s not : )
But that goes back to “players should be able to play anything they want”. Which I agree with.
But they should only be playing their fellow clubbers and anyone “smurfing” will rapidly rise out of reach of the real newbs.
I believe that Gaijin is aware of the current situation of the game, and well, we all know it’s horrible, it’s garbage. This is the feedback from most experienced players and other colleagues who are content creators that I know. I record on my channel ‘Bad Karma’ on YouTube, and sometimes when I read people’s opinions about the game, it feels like purgatory itself—just suffering and gnashing of teeth. Neither the enthusiast audience nor the casual audience is happy with the game, and I include myself in this. For months, I’ve wanted to sell my account and quit my channel because the game isn’t good, and the company has made it clear that this is intentional. It’s not like we haven’t suggested a thousand different things to improve the game; Gaijin doesn’t even need to think of ideas anymore because we love the game so much that we do it for free.
(I believe it’s not wrong for you to want profit, just like Gaijin does, but I also believe there are positive and negative ways to achieve it, and Gaijin makes the worst possible choice in this regard.)
But in the end, Gaijin will step on us and still spit on us. You know, I’ve been playing this game for 11 years and I’ve never seen it so bad. I can see Gaijin’s effort to bring us down to make us swallow the problem. After we get sad, just buy another premium pack, more golden eagles, right? Wrong, the happiness never lasts as long as you paid for it… you’re always the scammed fool. I don’t even need to say how the game is for those who don’t pay anything to them, right? xD
Before anyone says anything, I believe that those who defend Gaijin nowadays are terrible players who are supported by their parents, as they don’t know the value of the money they spend :)
Some people defend a company for other reasons than what you wrote. Sometimes it’s also->don’t want to see the game die nor trust another company to do it better which often isn’t the case.
Right now War Thunder doesn’t have any competition, so they have no reason to change anything.
No other game has Ships, tanks, and air in a single game that are all controllable. Other games may be able to compete on one side but cannot compete on all 3. There is a game forgot its name that is being made which might be able to compete with it but right now its in very early stages and it isn’t certain if it will be developed or not since we cannot predict the future.
