No, there are straight up trolls we all know about, but then again, the social media is so heavy today, that people spend their life on here grinding and it becomes their social outlet. You activate a 75% Silver Lion Bonus for 10 missions at 499 GE out of the store. 8 out of the next 10 Battles, people are on their way to Battle talking about their dog Petey or some moronic sexual topic, and next thing you know 8 losses out of 10 and maybe you were the last 3 mates fighting 9-10 people in nine of them…Trolls and that side conversation are becoming more prevalent. When I first started in Beta, the majority of the Chat was about the Battle or Planes, that is guaranteed…Maybe I have a problem, but it is annoying because I get on here to play Warthunder, not Instagram. Thank you for participating
This sounds like trolling to me.
That is something I considered, it is the “reality” of present day Warthunder. Look, Im not dumb, there is always going to be side topics and straight up trolling. I didnt devise this topic to BAIT PEOPLE.
I have noticed that it is becoming more prevalent…I grew up in Indiana during the Larry Bird, Bobby Knight era, and so you can suppose what I think when I get on here to play “Warthunder” nowadays and not be on Tic Tok or Snapchat.
Yes you are right in everything you said
Oh thank you so Much!!! I play in one night, all the way from BR 2.7 to 13.7, and I will say it is more prevalent in the lower tiers…whew, thank you for that.
It is all I see in a lot of the battles I am in, mates that dont see it much, LOL, maybe we are on different Servers!
I am not trying to be mean or rude, but maybe you never see it because just out of curiosity I went to look up your Player Card to see how long you have been here, and I couldnt seem to find it, so it is possible you never see it at all… But then the last moderator I spoke with said the Mig23ML and Mig23s in general are the same as they have always been.
How is that trolling? Activating a Silver Lion Bonus?..Dont you get those everytime you log in for free?
I would recommend that you use the Quote function.
It makes it easier to replay to multiple people while showing exactly what you are replying to and it doesnt clog up the thread as much.
Highlight the text you want to reply to and a button that says “quote” will appear.
I have just started disabling my Battle Chat…This is a hobby, and I do not play sports anymore, I dont know mate…Sometimes looking at that chat I wonder if society is becoming that moronic?..I probably wouldnt say anything about it, but I know it didnt used to be like that, because Ive been playing since Beta…If nothing else, a lot of times you woud see “Play with Honor”, and people how to win on the way to meet the enemy. You know, this is a military game, not Snapchat…Facebook…, annoying, but as someone else said, its REALITY…so I need to disable the chat or get my mind wrapped around it.
Whew, it just goes along with everything else in game the last 1 1/2 years, Mobile Phone Game, BR 13 vehicles to buy…It is what Gaijin is attracting now apparently, … I notice it, but I fly jets and props in one night
I am going to respond to this mate…I do not get on here to cause trouble. I see it as an issue I wanted to dicuss with the community as I have been playing since Beta. And right along with Level 20s flying uptier jets, the Mobile Phone App, and the direction the game is going…I brought this topic up to discuss it.
Usually what I say in chat is good Luck or give people my opinion on a plane when they ask.
I am chat banned now for responding to a troll, IN A BAD Way, after I said “Lets Win This Mates” and yes I didnt use the right procedure, after he killed two teammates, One of the three things that got me banned was me telling him, “You are just sitting at home, running your mouth because you are safe there”…But this is becoming more prevalent…
Some of you mates that do not see it are lucky, because I see it every 3rd Battle.
But rest assured, I do not get on here to cause trouble, I like this game, and get along with most every normal person in society.
yeah people dont even communicate anymore.
It does, keep doing it. At the very least it announces that you’re willing to use team chat, so there’s a chance you’re up for teamwork too.
At least that’s what I do…The most “aggressive” i may get is, maybe Im doing well, you know when you have been on a roll and you’re in a hot plane…I may occasionally hit “All” and say, “Come get some of this”, however, that is battle related…Isnt it satisfying to tear up their tickets, maybe with 1 or no airkills, but everyone is communicating to win the battle and survive? What Im talking about here is “the social media platform” and straight trolls who want to hurt people that is becoming more prevalent.
Thank You for participating.
So would I! The response format the TS is using is very “low effort”. Editing a reply seems too much.
The voice of reason LOL, thats why you are a squadron leader…
Thank You for your HELP…I can see you have the very BEST of intentions…People that try to help like you are very easy to spot.
Markimash told you explicitly how to reply so that your post becomes useful to the readers. And Uncle Wick made clear that we have enough useless comments already:
For readers like me, your replies in this thread are extremely unstructured, because you fail to add context via quote function. Which makes you part of the problem you complain about.
Moving goalposts like that is trolling too…
Commonly I call on the players to do better, and give enthusiasm… Literally just put a message to the team ‘Lets win this!’ or something like it, and find some who do make effort.
Connect with those, and just ignore the haters & report those who are more serious dimwits.
Good advice…Im a Panama Combat vet, and this being one of my hobbies, I am for the team.
Personally, Ill take a step back and look at this topic Ive created and realize the humor in it all, LOL.
It becomes very annoying however, when I get on here to play a Military Simulation game and you have all this nonsense talk.
Good Advice Mate, I suspect you have been playing for awhile, because I seem to remember you from very early on…when I was “Doc Holliday”.
Thank You
I like how you quoted Uncle J Wick…I see you are drawn to this topic and have something to contribute to the reality of the topic itself… Thank you for participating and your example, I go out into the Gulf of Mexico occasionally with some friends and fish, you would be a fine mate to do that with.
Thank You.
And while I appreciate your replies and welcome to the Forum, I noticed you have around 48 missions in your top performers and so I can tell you that this game didn’t used to be the way it is now…But as a relatively , excuse the term, “newbie”, your comments are very much appreciated as I like to get the perspective of unseasoned Air RB pilots. I have test driven tanks and it seems to be like Atari to me, but if I ever need some advice on tank ground battles I will hit you up…
Thank You mate
