For a long time, there has been a high demand for the C-series artillery line
Hello fellow commanders, I'm Anabel and Cardo. Today's article is actually written with feelings, briefly talking about several game product-related issues that you have been paying attention to, and talking about my own views on these issues. These are just some of my personal thoughts, and they don't represent any official attitude (since I'm just a regular player myself), but maybe my thoughts will clear you up some of your doubts, maybe you can't do it.
Hu "Game-related Issues"
C-series self-propelled guns
Artillery is the god of war
First of all, there is the issue of the C-series self-propelled artillery line, which is an indisputable fact that a large number of Chinese players have been discussing and calling for it since the day the C-series was made into the game. Even in 2022, when artillery has changed from "final word" to "Debuff launcher", from DPS to support, there are still many players who want to join the C-series artillery line, and I actually understand this idea very well - in reality, our army's "artillery doctrine" is carried forward very well, and all kinds of ground guns and self-propelled guns are quite complete, and who doesn't want to represent their country's department to perform well in the game? However, from the perspective of game design, due to the problem of the Wot timeline setting, there are not many actual cars (especially mass-produced ones) that can be made into the game, and the "stitched and fabricated cars" will obviously arouse the disgust of Chinese players.
There are many cars that you can do if you want to do it
Take 10,000 steps back, as long as you want to do it, the WG tank group can still make a C-series self-propelled artillery line, after all, a rocket-jet heavy tank line like BZ-75 can be made one by one, and the C-series self-propelled artillery line with real vehicles and a large number of realistic references is not hand-to-hand? But this brings us to another issue - the attitude of the WG tank group towards the self-propelled artillery vehicle: from a series of changes in recent years, it is not difficult to find that the artillery is becoming more and more difficult to play, and its positioning in combat is becoming more and more marginal. Players of ordinary tanks are now not satisfied with the shell shock of their guns, and the verbal battles between players have not stopped.
It's uncomfortable to do it, so it's better not to do it
In the final analysis, the WG tank group simply could not balance the contradictions between self-propelled guns and other vehicle types, so they simply weakened them again and again, in essence, so that everyone no longer played artillery, but instead played the various vehicles pushed by the WG tank group. Therefore, it is difficult to add new self-propelled guns, you can think about how many years since the previous artillery line Y series Conqueror GC was added to the present, how many years have there been no new artillery lines? I think that even if the C-series self-propelled artillery line is made, it will not be any different from other artillery such as the T92, so it is really better not to do it, and it will be in vain to do those cars.
Black market related
The black market gameplay has haunted many people's dreams
The "black market" is a game that has been remembered by many players since its launch because it is designed to be very humane, and I can receive "Is there a black market this year?" almost every day. "This kind of problem. In fact, in the middle of 2020 (at this time, the national server was still preparing for the update), the WG tank team had a different attitude towards the "black market" gameplay, because it had been done twice before, it was a little tired, and I wanted to play some new tricks, so I still didn't plan to open the black market in 2021 at that time. But then it was decided to open the black market in the spring of 2021, but with the addition of different gameplay (the "key" of the direct service is an attempt by WG to change the black market), which led to the black market activities we saw earlier in early 2021.
The "auctions" that have been held before are an alternative to the black market
But it's been so long, why hasn't there been news of the "black market" yet? In fact, it's very simple, the WG tank team doesn't plan to engage in activities under the name of "black market" anymore, and the direct sales service has deleted the relevant support pages about black market activities. But there will be other ways to replace it – such as the "final word" auction on 22/23 and even at the beginning of this year. Objectively speaking, this has replaced the "black market" gameplay. Whether it is the black market or the "auction", they themselves are an exhibition of human nature, and the online world is full of people, true and false, virtual and real:
180,000 gold coins of "Hamster Brother"
130,000 gold coins wanted, worthy of brother
The hesitant "good itchy brother"
61000's Extreme Operation Brother
The first-level brother of 510,000 gold coins made the bar friends mercilessly mock
House brother
The world is full of all kinds of things. Extremely exciting, the uniqueness of everyone's remarks, often makes me amazed and can't help laughing.
Team voice
Teams voice capabilities
This third and last question in this issue is actually quite interesting. wot, as a PVP game that pays attention to team cooperation, has not only not had a 15-person team voice since it was opened, but even the "white words" of chatting with the opposite side are gone, which really confuses many friends. The cancellation of the "white letter" is actually very simple, although our ideal is to be able to chat with the other side and be very happy, but in the actual battle, more often than not, they report and scold each other, and this kind of thing is not uncommon. I've seen too many people who tell the enemy the coordinates of their teammates because they want the battle to end sooner, or because they think their teammates have cheated on them, which is clearly against the principle of "fair play".
15 old men open voice? It was a hellish scene
As for the "Team Voice Chat" system, you may only see the advantage of "convenient communication", but in fact, with the Civilization + Harmonious Game Environment and Kind + Friendly User attributes of World of Tanks, it is difficult to have a good experience by putting 15 randomly selected players in the same voice channel. These 15 people are not a battle-hardened team that knows each other well, but 15 individuals with very different ages, cultures, qualities, operational levels, and accents, and the only similarity between them may be that they are all playing the game of wot, if they can speak freely about the current battlefield situation and do not have any responsibility···· I really can't imagine.
The views of these two are very representative
But there is actually room for this, for example, relying on the distance to turn on the voice, teammates within 100 meters of the speaker can receive it, and can choose not to receive it. This is somewhat similar to the working situation of the "radio", close to it, the voice is helpful to the current situation of this point, and whether you want to listen or not depends on yourself. Therefore, this "team voice" should be called "range voice" or "short-range voice", so that some problems can be solved. But even with this design, I'm still more worried about the scolding war that will happen, after all, many friends type slowly, and their verbal skills are powerful in the sea. Probably the WG tank group is also because of this, so it is delayed.
just a game
As for the articles in this issue, they are actually just some of my personal thoughts, which cannot be counted, and do not represent any official attitude. It would be great if it could help you clear up some of your doubts about the game WOT. I'm an ordinary player myself, and I've always been concerned about the game product wot, so I've been able to share this content with you until now.
