The results of the latest poll showed the majority of 3239 participants are waiting for new game modes (1487 votes or 45%). The votes were almost equally divided between "more tanks" (805 votes or 24%) and "improved physics" (677 votes or 20%). New features got tiny 8% or 270 votes.
New weekly poll is up.
New weekly poll is up.
Lets hope you listen! =D
ReplyDeleteThe very most important is to get better physics!!
ReplyDeleteAfter that, game modes.
Q: Lets hope you listen! =D
ReplyDeleteA: Already in development - http://overlord-wot.blogspot.com/2011/07/look-to-future-game-modes-features.html.
Better physics which includes more realistic engine sounds. This would really improve the atmosphere of the game! :)
ReplyDeleteRegarding the new poll I still think its too early to tell.
ReplyDeleteThe jagdtiger is the best all-rounder, 704 far superior 1on1. But the T95 I've only encountered once in my Jagdtiger but statwise i'd say its the strongest.
Where is the "new poll"? URL?
ReplyDeleteThe biggest beast is the T95, no doubt.
ReplyDeleteBut the BEST, is something to discuss.
jagtigers scare the crap out of me...everything else seems more manageable.
ReplyDeleteSo when are the M103 and T110 coming?
ReplyDeleteT95 is the only actual TD used in Clan Wars, nuff said
ReplyDeleteASEET uses JT

ReplyDeleteYes, but will you actually change project priorities to provide future game modes FASTER than new tanks or physics? Or, was this poll just for curiosity sake, and you won't actually do anything different?
T95 is a beast but can be shoved aside by a T-54, it can't turn fast enough and often gets trapped on the side by tanks hugging it.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of physics are you thinking of? Itd be awesome to see tank parts fly off when they blew.. Tanks fly farther when theyre blasted cruising at full speed? Projectile flight? Some days, even though my recticle completely covers the enemy tank, I STILL miss. Drives me crazy.
ReplyDelete"New features" is kinda generic, that's why nobody voted for it. If the poll would ask about "Multi-turret support" or "Camouflages", maybe more people would vote for it.
ReplyDeleteSure they listen to their own polls, because they think thats good to do. And this was already planned for development a while back so this makes the poll rather pointless.
ReplyDeleteQ: so this makes the poll rather pointless.
ReplyDeleteA: Not really. The poll confirms that we are on the same track.
Q: Yes, but will you actually change project priorities to provide future game modes FASTER than new tanks or physics?
ReplyDeleteA: Different things are being worked on by different teams. We can reallocate resources to some extent and will consider this.
As long as we get those new crew skills and perks you promised...
ReplyDeletei vote for a crew softwipe then! because when u got 400% crew and just discover there are more awesome stuff to skill u just dont want to buy new crew and grind the shit outta them!
ReplyDeleteOverlord, hello there.
ReplyDeleteI would just like to point out something that I noticed.
If you add physics, as in making tanks fly off the hill, it would add enough entertainment to keep players busy enough for you guys to make new tanks, fix the matchmaking, the spotting, etc.
Just a helpful hint.
Hey Overlord,
ReplyDeleteCan we get an M1A2 Abrams as a new Tier 10 US Tank? I'm super serial about this too!!
Overlord said... Different things are being worked on by different teams. We can reallocate resources to some extent and will consider this.
ReplyDeleteYeah, as a Software engineer myself, I can definitely understand the whole "teams on projects" idea. I really do hope you take the poll results to heart and reallocate your resources to speed up the new game modes. The last thing you want is a game to get stale, and the current offering is too close to this right now. More game modes would definitely help to keep it interesting and keep people buying gold.
@Xathanael
ReplyDeleteThen German would have their Leopard II, Japanese will have Type 10 and Russians their T-90. :/
Besides, this is a World War II game, not a modern warfare game.
It is not a WW2 game. The tanks go pre to post-war.
ReplyDeletei hope with "better physics" we dont will see t-54 dobule backflip, flipwhip and etc :D Pls stay realistic!!!
ReplyDeleteQ: i hope with "better physics" we dont will see t-54 dobule backflip, flipwhip and etc :D
ReplyDeleteA: I'm pretty sure we will see all kind of strange bugs once the physics are implemented. The "funny screenshots" topics on the forums will be in abundance :)
My T-54 will be doing 360 turret kill shots in mid air in due time... lol
ReplyDeleteQ: Is there any plans at all to fix/get rid of Malinovka? If you put that option in the last july 18-24th poll, i believe that almost everyone would of picked it. But i would also like to see new game modes as soon as possible! :)-RazgrizOne
ReplyDeleteOverlord is there a chance to increase the rate of Himmelsorf?I'm tired of playing Malinovka with 5 tier6-7-8 enemy arties.
ReplyDeletehmm, cant vote 4 mooaaar maps :(
ReplyDeletewhy is everyone, in every game, always screaming for CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT?
ReplyDeleteI am tiered of this newschool com phenomenon. Every freaking new game does this, adds more and more content, more and more grind, more and more random. Noone cares that all those games live years with bugs that where already found in alpha(beta) testing. Core problems of those games get ignored just to be able to add more content.
I just dont get it, why people and devs (their manager/bosses what ever) prefer content over badly needed bugfixes and redesigns and reworks of the game itself.
fuck you com!
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteThe reason for more and more content? Player retention. Eventually players get bored of the same old stuff over and over, and will leave. The only way to keep them playing is with new content. Bug fixes don't introduce new ways to enjoy the game, they just fix things that people have learned to live with.
I agree, however, that the stream of content for World of Tanks could slow down just a touch so they could hammer through the bug fixes / mechanic reworkings faster.
Can't wait for new game modes. Being stuck with random battles for over a year now, makes even 30 mins of gaming hard to overcome boredom. At the moment there are so many variants of tanks, so it would more or less just feel like a new skin. So i do hope it will rather be sooner than later, that we'll get some more interesting game modes :)
ReplyDeletehmmmm......think I missed the "fix client" option somewhere
ReplyDeletere, comment on it being pre - post ww2....not exactly, but closer to WW2 until the russians get gross enough tanks (but I'm ALL ears for a RATIONAL explanation for the dates beyond the one I've given)
ReplyDelete'not exactly' actually, until the devs give precise dates, that's exactly it. Twenties tanks like the T1 up till things like the T54.
ReplyDeleteI noticed on the test server that the post mortem bar is still present. Is there anyway to disable this very annoying "feature". It blocks the mini map and gives NO useful information
ReplyDeleteI'd like to play with completly different spoting behaviour. It should be closer to real battles. So: I see the enemy if I realy see it. I can point it on the map, so my allies can look at this point. But they can see the tank, if they really see it and it is not tracked all the time. If goes into the bushes and trees nobody can see it through the plants or other things. More like in BFBC2 or COD. I know - it makes the game other game and needs new maps design for having fun (flat, desert map would be like shooting ground, the forest would be impossible to find enemies). But it would be interesting to be able to choose such game mode :)
ReplyDeleteNew game modes would be awesome I've read the posts regarding the game modes and the encounter battles and historical battles look like real winners! The game mode I'd really like to see is a Platoon Vs mode! Where 3 or 5 man platoons are all against each other on a large map.
ReplyDeleteIn regards to the new physics I think some improved explosion effects would be my top vote. Anyways can't wait for 6.6 thanks again for all the info Overlord.

ReplyDeleteTHE GAME BADLY NEED A DECENT SCOUT TANK TO BE USED IN CLAN WARS.
THE GAME BADLY NEED TIER LIMITED CLAN WARS OPTION (EG PREDETERMINED TERRITORIES ALLOWING TIER 2-4 AND 5-7 CLAN WARS BATTLES ONLY)
YOU COULD CONSIDER MINE LAYING TANKS... MINES PAYED WITH SILVER OR GOLD BY CLANS -AND- ON REGULAR SKIRMISH GOLD SPENDED BY A PLAYER ON A MINE LAYED THAT GAVE BENEFIT TO THE TEAM -ACTUALLY DAMAGINGDESTROYING A TANK- TO BE COMPLETELYPARTIALLY REFUNDED ANDOR PROVIDE A VALUE FOR MONEY PAYBACK (SILVER-GOLD-XP)
AND MORE.. THERE ARE ACTUALLY NO SMOKE-SCREENS IN GAME, AND THOSE WERE WIDELY USED. ARTY OR PARTICULAR TYPE OF TANK (MAYBE AGAIN THE SAME MINE LAYER TANK) SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO LAUNCH REALLY EFFECTIVE SMOKE GRENADES TO COVER TEAM MATES ADVANCE OR RETREAT.
ReplyDeleteMAY I SUGGEST A 4TH MODULECONSUMABLE SLOT WITH MORE CHOICHE IN CONSUMABLESMODULES
ReplyDelete-ADDED FRONTAL ARMOR (CREWS WERE USED TO PUT SANDBAGS AND STEEL RAIL BARS FRONTALLY OVER WEAKEST TANKS) TO BE CONSUMED IF A FRONTAL HIT OCCOURS
-ADDED MANTEINANCE KIT (AUTOMATIC CONSUMABLE SIMULATING EXTRA MANTEINANCE FOR THE TANK, THUS ADDING A 5% IN HULL AND TURRET ROTATION AND A PAIR OF kmh IN SPEED)
-ADDED SELF SMOKE SCREEN (CONSUMABLE TO BE TRIGGERED SIMULATING CREW POURING OIL OVER EXHAUST SYSTEM -THAT HOW SMOKE SCREEN WORKS NOWADAYS TOO!- CREATING A SMOKE SCREEN FROM BACK OF THE TANK THAT WONT ALLOW ENEMY TO HIGHLIGHT THE THANK SHAPE WHEN AIMING AT IT FORCING TO SHOOT BLIND TRU THE SMOKE SCREEN)
-USE YOU FUKING FANTASY ^_^
If they would have asked about multi turret support that would have won. but they suck at making desicions that big. Guess what to all those people stuck with M3 I know how it feels. your a sitting elephant just waiting to be shot.
