There are many things I like about WT. Having said that, there are many things I dislike, and some things I hate. The hate part is due to The Great and Wonderful Snail turning a deaf ear to repeated complaints about certain forms of game play which could very easily be addressed.
The issue with this post is map repetition. I’m not the only one who’s complained of this repeatedly, it’s a constant topic from many players on the forums. Attached is a screenshot of my attempts to get a different map, with a DIFFERENT objective: namely, anything but CONQUEST, I LOATHE conquest missions because The Great and Wonderful Snail forces players to concentrate into one place, making artillery and air strikes the dominant factors in the battle at the expense of TANK maneuver fighting. Often, these conquest missions include a cropped, shrunken map which further exacerbates the aforementioned issue.
Look at the screenshot - this particular map and THE SAME MISSION has been repeated multiple times, across several nations and two rank levels, all in the space of less than an hour. I assume there’s a reason why this occurs and it’s intentional, but I won’t speculate because it would entail a terms of use violation.
Gaijin, PLEASE mix up your maps. PLEASE. War Thunder has the potential to be a GREAT game but until this issue, and more than a few others are addressed, then it’s only a good game, a better alternative to another online tank game which I won’t mention but we all know exactly what that is. Rant over, carry on.
1- Maps are on rotation in BR ranges.
2- Thumb up/down influences what the rotation will be.
3- You went into matches within 3 minutes at the same BR.
4- Not Gaijin’s fault.
Not a helpful response. Here’s why:
1- Maps are on rotation in BR ranges.
The BR changed once and the map, starting point and mission remained the same.
2- Thumb up/down influences what the rotation will be.
I assume you mean the mechanic in which you can like/dislike which maps, up to three? Correct me if I’m wrong but that only applies to users who throw drachmas, shekels and florins into the coin slot, right? The rest of us don’t have that option, correct?
3- You went into matches within 3 minutes at the same BR.
For most of the missions, yes, but NOT all of them, the timestamps display this difference.
4- Not Gaijin’s fault.
I disagree. Their game, their code, their algorithms, their rules. They can change it easily if they wanted to.
From the your posts I’ve observed in the forums it’s obvious you’ve been playing this game a long time and are at least knowledgeable in some of the game mechanics and logic behind certain decisions. My question regarding this, are you a developer? Moderator or something? The reason why I post this issue and request SOMETHING from The Great and Wonderful Snail is to get an informed response. What I neither want nor need is conjecture, even if it’s completely well-meaning and to the best of one’s knowledge. If there’s a rule book then point me to it, that would REALLY be helpful. Cheers.
