Are those all encounter and/or assault by chance?

[malachi6]

Agree with azakow.  

 

You can only exclude standard battles, not encounter or assault.

[Zmaj72]

OK thanks for the answer

[TheJungleBeast]

This should be stickied to the top of the forum, man.

In WG world, excluded means partially excluded.

Why would they read a stickied post if they don't read this.

Nearly 40000 battle and still asking this question? Wut?

[DuncaN_101]

It wouldn't be a normal week without this being asked at least once.

All is well in the world (of tanks) again

Perhaps WG should just make it so it blocks all modes, that would really be a better solution.

Nah that's too easy... There has to be a more difficult solution to this problem

You could ask why it's not been done like that. When it was added they did say the map block is not final and subject to change. Now we know maps for other modes are not the same as the standard variant other than by name. If there was a complication vs the other maps to add them back then. Who knows. 

 

Personally I have encounter and assault off unless I'm trying to do some specific missions like spotting to be impacted by it. Maybe WG knows not many play the other modes to even bother to prioritize a fix.

Both type of game modes blocked for Premium account users, but you still have to select two check boxes rather than just one for each map type, because WG.

Everyone can exclude assault and encounter..nothing to do with premium account...

To be fair I only excluded Malinovka to get teh screenshots, widepark was excluded because I was playing low tier arty.

 

It's quite annoying that you can't unexclude a map for four hours, it was only this thread that reminded me Malinovka was still excluded and prompted me to turn it back on.

[DuncaN_101]

In all fairness I only have 1 map excluded even though I can do 2 as a prem user

The most likely reason is that these modes only have a limited map pool to start with. I think it's about 5 maps for Assault, and if 40% of these are blocked by some people it might cause issues with the MM and queue times for these modes. I think that is also why recently WG added encounter variants on several maps.

Solid point. As encounter loses and gains new maps all the time.
