As you guys know there is a halloween event called Mirny-13 and during this event we have an option to buy styles for gold,during a recent patch WG "nerfed" lights on those tank styles.

I payed for those styles with my money ( I purchased gold to buy Leo1 style for 4,500 gold) and I bought it with the normal light and not this "barely on" one which it has now.

I purchased this style because of that light(it WAS sooo cool) and now its just not looking that good(not 4.500 gold good).

How can they just "change" the style for which I payed with MY MONEY , I mean WG for real.....do you guys not remember Superpershing nerf what happend then?????

Give us our lights on our styles BACK AS THEY WERE!

I am providing pictures from a mod...yea WG we liked those lights soo much that we "unnerfed" them but its only for us others cant see it as you know....and thats what we want....

Changing visuals counts as nerfing?

Give the light back to that man! Make them styles great again!

There was already a thread about this the other day and admittedly I mostly only skimmed across it, but I believe it's possible to get a refund through support? Regardless, the reason given from WG (courtesy of FastestClassic, the author of the mod referenced) appears to be:

 

I should note before you go ham on Dwigt, he's not the WG Dev actually responsible for the nerf so don't throw all your ire towards him, he's just the one telling us how it is. I haven't actually noticed any issues with the lights myself while using the mod (well not Fastest's mod necessarily, I provided him the unedited files that he used so I just replaced them myself) but I haven't really been paying too much attention nor have I played my Leopard enough in Ranked to really get a feel for it, and to be honest I imagine the issues might be more noticeable on lower graphics.

The styles are quite ugly and bland even before those changes, WG's dev team has done better in the past.

I don't see any problem.

And I am certain that this years' X-mas event will bring new styles.

You completely lost me when i realized that you payed 4,500 gold for some headlights......on a tank......in a game without any form of night mode....

To be fair I bought it myself because it's a cool looking style and the closest we'll get to a Leopard 1A1A1 That isn't ported from another game, the lights are just a cool new sequence they added on top. I would've bought it without them, but kinda a shame that they chose to nerf them (though I understand the reasoning).

That's strange. How can legitimate garbage appeal to your eyes?

The styles that were recently being sold for ST-II, Obj. 705A & Obj. 268 - those are actually good looking styles. Problem being they were sold for the same price as these crappy-looking German MT ''styles''.

Personally I dont think we should knock this player at all, IF i had the gold it was mostly the light effect I would have been after regardless of no night mode. Furthermore people that are paying are funding my gaming experience so thank you for buying the skin and allowing me to play.

We'll have to agree to disagree there. My only problem with the Leopard style (specifically the Leopard, I'm not talking about the Panther/E-50/E-50M Styles at all) is the thing on the turret rear but that's based on the whole Mirny-13 Thing so I can live with it (and just ask someone to replace it with the standard Leopard bin). I would rather have it as a more historically based style sure, but as a whole I'm fine with it, it doesn't look too over the top either like the recent T110E5/IS-4M.

Meanwhile the ST-II/705A/268 Styles, on one hand I think they're well made, but they really don't appeal to me since I'd much prefer a 3D Style over a 2D One especially since most 3D Styles lately also include improving the base textures (the T-54 "Malachite" style is a brilliant example: before vs. after, though you'll have to ignore the glaring issues). You could definitely make some cool 3D Styles with the tanks IMO, but they just went with some rather boring skins.

 

Personal preference at the end of the day.

This is quite a 1st world problem I'd say.
