How is a weeb captain mod or anything cosmetic affecting you or fair play? Please remember that a lot of useful options in the game came about through mods, for example damage counter, smoke boundaries, ship names on minimap etc.

I agree with that, even, fairy talking, all players can also download mods and install them. I'm not going to be radical here; I use them because I find them very useful, but I woukdn't mind to ban them all. We know that some players use "special" mods here, and maybe banning the "normal" ones would help to detect the cheaters.

PS: I asume Aslain's is permitted here, BTW

Does this mean that players using bots will actually be seriously dealt with now? It seems like this hasn't been a priority when people have reported botting in the past.

Pretty sure most people have no understanding of what mods do ...the vast majority are nothing more than cosmetics some are just quality of life ….many mods have been added directly to the game as mentioned above . If u need to be told not to cheat using aim bots well they  wont listen and don't care until they are caught. lets face it WGing or anyone else has little or no chance of ever catching them and have little ability to even prove it, if by some miracle some one is caught cheating then they shouldn't have any warnings they should be perma banned , full stop ...not as if they didn't realise what they doing and it was quite deliberate . Another reality is most potatoes lvl players see hax every game usually as they broadside and get deleted or park in their smoke and get blatted and have no understanding how .Ive played over 19k games and been accuse and seen other accused of Hax endlessly and been reported just for killing nuggets that have no idea how to play or understand why they die...…….. every game. I will say ive seen quite a few players of late that are using bot programs , very bad ones as they tend to sail to random areas and shoot at random if they shoot at all ….. be nice if Wging could deal with them .

Even community contributors - twitch streamers are using cosmetic mods not included in modstation

I hope this include bots for farming.

 

I reported a guy for using a bot but nothing has happend and he still "plays", on average 140 games/day (with 10 minutes/game that comes to 23 hours and 20 minutes/day, ON AVERAGE). He has "played" as many games in three months as I have in close to five years.

 

Another account with a similar name has played 40k games in two years. I suspect this guy grinds accounts with bots so he can sell them "full build" to the highest bidder.

In order to get a mod included in ModStation, you have to apply for it and be accepted. If a mod isn't included in the ModStation, that doesn't mean that it is illegal, it just means the modder didn't bother with applying (or doesn't know about it, or wasn't accepted for whatever reason). As long as a mod is published on the forums, it is allowed.

[FoolsPryro]

Does this mean the mod showing angling is gone now?

[TheKingOfUm]

Man, I sure wish Wargaming would not use the word "Mods" for two totally different things:

• Game modifications that use the official modding interfaces that has been put into the game by the developers themselves, which are hosted on WG forums, checked by Wargaming employees, and recognized and supported by Wargaming.
• Hacks that alter the game in a prohibited way to gain advantage.

Because as it is now, half the players are too scared to use allowed mods, the other half demands to ban all mods (which would do nothing against hacks, by the way - those are already banned), and only a handful get to enjoy the total weebification of the game.

Can somebody tell me how Wargaming knows I'm using a mod?

 

[ItsJustAFleshWound]

Anyone know why ModStation doesn't pick up the Microsoft Store version of WoWs?

It's probably to do with how the store deals with apps. Why not download the normal version instead?

[leeuwbart]

Is the Aslain modpack still allowed or has this changed?

I use the Microsoft Store version so I can buy stuff with the gift cards and from Microsoft Rewards, which is also why my battle count is deceptive since it doesn't let you log in with an existing WG account on the Microsoft version.

WG do not know if you are using a mod ... This is just normal gaming policy .. It would be nice with a comment from WG regarding aslain though .. But I will continue to use aslain and new aslain download just completed for install ...

 

Cheers!

i am very eager to know too if aslain is still allowed or if we are all redirected to the wows own modpack now. it could have been nice to have a selection of the commonly used modpacks stated which are allowed to avoid confusion.

[ItsJustAFleshWound]

So is there any way to get mods on the Windows Store version of WoWs?

Perhaps after each init of the software, they can check the game files installed, the memory profile in your computer and the starter program sends a report to the WG after we log in.

[DarthDon49]

I use mods on many of the games I play but because I post screenshots on DeviantArt (I'm 62Guy there), and I don't want to alter the appearance of the ships/background, I don't use any mods. 

[SpartanFretum]

So, as far as I can read, you can Use modstation, but not aslain. So if you end up reporting a bot, you will be punished, cause on your screen shot, it would appear a mod that WG doesn't approve, even if its completely fair to the gameplay. Seriously WG, are you making money from modstation and aslain didn't cut you a deal so you ban him? Because modstation is pretty similar to aslains mod. Just tiny differences, purely cosmetic.

[leeuwbart]

perhaps @Aslain knows the answer we are waiting for?

Huh? You are totaly wrong, I'm working closely with WG when it comes to mods. Everything posted on WG WoWs forums is allowed and pre-moderated, so is my modpack.. Please stop giving advices without proper knowledge about that matter.
