i think is time for release new premium tanks

i will buy them all, so you can keep crying, instead of doing something about ir.

your childish avatar portrays perfectly your person.

I just wish you had taken the same view with the high tier British Light tanks...

Cancelled due to low quality.... etc. etc.  You didn't mind putting out trash then, so why the change of heart?

Think this is my first post here, and sorry it has to be like this. Im sad there is no Halloween event. I truly liked last years event and it is why i came back  to the game after disapearing around xmas. Played it with a really nice girl all the time and the memories are sweet, but now i cant relive them.  Updates are done now, but not sure if im even gonna play. Of course, there is a compensation in xp form (the easiest thing to implement on short notice because it was done before)   and yeah, thats a nice gesture, but i didnt come for xp or anything,  i came here for a fun PVE time, and i would be surprised if there came any compensation on that part. Maybe something will come out later, but chances are im not around when it does.  Have been looking forward to the event for quite some time, and call me oversensitive, but i just feel empty now.

 

Bit like finally aranging a date with two girls at the same time, then have your boss say: sorry dude, but you need to work that day. AWW, dont frown, im gonna pay you some extra euro's, that will compensate you. Oh man, i know of a good place to stuff that money... 

 

I appreciate the open approach, the honesty in saying: it didnt work as we wanted it to, so we canceled it.  Kuddos to you. Well, on that bit. No kuddos on messing up. After all, its not like these people do this for free in their spare time. Its their job, they get payed for it, quite likely more then me (garbage collector)  and lets be honest: they failed. But im not aiming at the soldiers now, the simple programmers and their brethren. Im aiming at the officers,the captains and generals, who either didnt recognize the seriousness of the problems or couldnt find an adequate sollution. Before new years eve, the police in our city makes rounds to see where old furniture and other trash is dumped, and tells us to remove it before it turns into a bonfire at night. Its a set date, a simple goal, and a painfull fail if i dont get it done in time, but when its one pile and i let it be, its on my head, but when its fifty piles, im driving my a** off and cant get it done in time, its my manager who didn't do his job, because he should have seen the build-up in the days before and taken measures. Tell me to start early, or add someone in my vehicle to help loading, add a second, third, fourth vehicle....  He should be on top of things, make sure we work efficient, dont get in eachothers way, keep a clear view of how much is left and if we got manpower enough to make it in time. Add more if we dont. Hire vehicles someplace else, find extra workers, if push comes to shove let some office people put on yellow coats and get dirty. Anything to get the job done.  Dont think i need to translate this to how WG should have handeled the event. 

 

Oh, and there IS a correllation between this event and premium tanks: its the same company and somewhere someone made a decision how much people and resources to allocate to either. Its not something that could be fixed on the last day, like guys making the final skins on a new tank probably have no idea how to handle a broken game mechanic, but it should have been adressed waaaaaay earlier.... that is why managers get payed so much money: because they can see problems like this comming, and know how to prevent them from happening. Or at least, thats what THEY say... But what do i know?  Im just an average Joe getting my hands dirty every day. 

 

Enough said. Lets get inside and get shot. At least someone will have a good day today. 

 

Peace and Respect, Der Panz.

Really waited to relax with the Halloween mode like always, don't have much time to play these days, so I thought it will be a great fun like every Halloween events.

 

NOW THERE IS NO REASON FOR ME TO LOG INTO THE GAME UNTIL CHRISTMAS FESTIVE EVENT.

 

Nice job you did WG, you had almost a full year to do it and not to start developing it like 1-2 months before Halloween!

 

I really like this game and paid lot of money also purchased a bunch of premium tanks, but this year will be the last one to pay anything to you WG!

 

Shame on you. :confused:

 

p.s. You also removed the nice Dog Tags and I grinded all of them so hard to have them all (Mission, Frontline, Racer), WHY?!


You are right the game for me is really boring and I only enter in special events

As mentioned above by another member another event another failure.... Do you all remember a time not to long ago where everything went smoothly when launching an event? That time has bassed and is replaced by failure after failure.. Every event now has at least one major bug from kick-start.. Why? Don't you people at wg have enough time to test everything?
As for the Halloween event...you had a whole year to make everything ready..wasn't that enough time...?
Take more time in making your game a more quality experience for the players that pay for your game and less time on new premium tanks development...
Ig you are not capable of launching the new Halloween event the by all means launch the last year's Halloween event since it was great and working as intended.. None would complain...
Thanks for everyone's time.

A worried wot player..

But do you know what is the saddest part guys?!

 

That all online tank games have Halloween event going on (just check it out)!

 

Only WG can fail this hard, but remember we need more useless Premium tanks to release!

 

Also balancing the HE shells, anyway who cares about that? It's in the game since the beginning like 8-9 years, and now they wanna balance it?!

 

Now let's go with more great things, you know, let's introduce to the game Double barrel guns! :teethhappy:

 

But, hey, it's good that they removed all old and nice maps, because they where unbalaced somehow?!

 

Who cares?!?!?

 

Now I see max. 5-6 maps rotating every day.

 

Mehh, game, nothing more, waste of anyone's time and nerves!

 

Just my two cents!

I for one am delighted by the news as it means at least one fewer update. BTW stop advertising missions from previous months on your website, it makes you look silly.

For once, WG makes the correct move!

 

1. Not releasing sub-quality content.

2. Acknowledging mistakes and communicating them and the outcome in a clear, respectful manner.

 

People (who probably fought hard internally) to make the cancel decision and publish this communication should get a bonus. You just won back a lot of good will from the players. Excellent job!

 

BTW, as a side note - I understand that you want to engage your player base in 2019 since the numbers are dropping, but as an 8-year veteran of the game, the constant event spam in 2019 is frankly too much! Having one well-made event every 4 months is completely fine! Don't try to have one every single month please, I don't have the personal time to try it all and it makes me feel left out and alienated. Plus your developers could probably relax and be more creative and apply more polish to the fewer events that you do have.

As always WG got stuck ..... 9 years old and beta only ... question when is the final release? ... maps corridor, artillery, vheeled tanks, balance ever normal? Given WG's rapid response to issues, it will probably take another 10 years for developers. Good luck and persuade .... players see and understand everything .. no need to think, that players are stupid.

i very much want to play it when it's ready. and i would 100% chose werewolves. i also say, don't matter WHEN you release it, just that you do. and it doesn't matter if it's out of season.

Yes, it is awesome! The spooky re-install of a computer completely messed up by Wargaming Game center malware.
