[The_EURL_Guy]

Read it on the portal

desync bug? 

[GoneFishingAgain]

Do I have to say where can they shove them?

[wot_2016_gunner]

Why the was this neccesary?

 

I mean, it doesn't really change anything for me because i always had it running regardless (i use the short cut to launch the game tho), but still: WHY?

Yeh, do not like that either.

Matchmaker Changes for Newcomers

• The number of battles a player needs to fight in order to be placed in the general queue for Random Battles has been increased from 69 to 200. Thus a new player will gain more game experience before moving on to general Random Battles. If any newcomers decide they are ready to fight with experienced players, they will be able to enter battle playing Tier V ships:

But here WG did something good.

I wounder why it was 69

Again, a change nobody asked for. Removed modules (AA ones) won't be compensated in the form od free exp, just standard exp. So useless

[ZifTTroll]

Ranked the only good thing about this update, well just means I have more time for life than on "premium" events

The game can now be launched only with the Wargaming.net Game Center running.

This move really wasn't necessary. But I guess I shouldn't have told you on this forum that I found a way to play without your marketing tool on my machine.

 

That's it for me then.

Goodbye.

 

Have fun everyone.

 

@Crysantos @Tanatoy

Why is that necessary? What purpose does it serve?

Wasn't one of your main arguments to calm us WGC-haters that we would not need the WGC to run the game, only to install and update it? And not even three months after the forced change this argument of yours already imploded. But I guess you don't care about whatever you said yesterday.

Why does WG insist on scheduling CBs and 'Ranked' (it's not really Ranked unless there's an R1 flag) at the same time? Players who want to play both have huge demands placed on their time this way, while it makes no difference for players who only enjoy one of the modes. It doesn't help anyone.

"No one is using our badly designed launcher so now we will force everyone to use it. Because screw you paying customers."

 

This isn't ordinary stupid, this is WG level of stupid.

[Nauseica]

Keep in mind that the 200 number is only when you play at T1-4, when you play T5 you play with all people no special/protected matchmaking ... how many new people reach T5 in less than 70 games ?? Il say 90%+ ....

Because only a low % is playing CB, and they want to offer an activity to those as well.

i'm guessing it's for server better handling for login process. it's not really first online game what does this way. maybe its also something todo that they need separate this from main game servers.

German carriers. Why, they did'nt have any and still don't.

 

Are wg plowing the road for russian carriers maybee danish carriers

 

  zzzzzz

This is conveniently hidden in 'other changes'. Hoping no one would notice no doubt.

Could someone at WG explain in laymans terms why this is necessary?. My PC is steam driven and cpu runs very high%, onboard gpu is 100% and that is low settings. They gonna melt.

WG want you all to have WGC running in the background when you play so they, without your knowledge, can inject what they want, to your pc.

 

REMEMBER who you are dealing with

At least you don't have to worry (anymore) about WG changing your port every new patch. It's an added upside!

[Maris_Piper]

Edited as I thought why waste my time  it

Indeed. One thing, among many others, that I will not need to complain about anymore.

It's still a sad day for me. I really like the game. I spend way more time with this title than with any other before.

 

I'll stay on the forums for a few days longer. To see if someone at WG actually explains that move, as well as to see how many threads/posts will be popping up on thursday of players who played via shortcut without the WGC running.

Can you pls make a matchmaking system at 1000, 5000 and 10,000 games too? 
Why not leagues like the Clan battle system,  Squal 0-200 Random battles, Gale 201-1000, Storm 1001-5000, Typhoon 5001-10000 and finaly Hurricane 10001 and up

[surfer_gr]

clan battles with tier6 ? no thanks i will pass

 

[Ocrooch]

Yet another update without any relevance. Who needs another damn CV line? Who need any new line? Why dont you make changes that would actually matter? Make the game playable/enjoyable first!

DDs are almost gone from the game, only most hardcore masochists and total potatoes who just want to make pew pew play them. Games end up in roll stomp more often than not these days. Camping, stationary gameplay, hiding in bushes  behind "islands". I can stomach max 2 battles per day these days.

@MrConway Buried deep in these patch notes is something about the removal of the Modules for Monaghan's improved torpedoes and C Hulls on Farragut, Mahan, Benson and Nurnberg. I think it says that Monaghan's improved torps are still available (they're just loaded automatically depending on which hull you pick) but can you confirm whether the C Hulls will still be available to use, or are these just gone?
