news-discussion

[magic shard]

Wargaming please make events where we can get the old low tier tanks that were removed from the tech tree line back then

[torpid shard]

he was fighting to keep chat enabled for everybody

[teal adder]

Not what I meant.

[midnight spindle]

@torpid shard @teal adder we aren’t discussing moderation here.

[naive thorn]

You cant do :v or wt , you cant do a emoji face or say wt auf pz4 , wt will be censored , the censorship is dumb sometimes

[boreal glade]

the 0,1% of players were a bit toxic, so wargaming decided to take down the whole server

[gusty plover]

Ye, today was the 1 year anniversary of the start of the war

[boreal glade]

stop with this invasion thing.... nobody is talking about it and Wargaming doesn't even have the proofs to show is the different

[meager hull]

Maybe if there enough complaints like the missile tanks wargaming will revert the chat removal decision. Or at least not lie to us about why they are doing it.

[bronze cosmos]

I wouldn’t mind that much except for the ping

[grim siren]

Tbh it’s clearly not 0.1%
I started to learn Russian and Ukrainian insults because of how often they repeat themselves.

[naive thorn]

I didnt see them everygame , maybe 1/5

[naive thorn]

Ahaha that one is a good joke , props to you my good sir 😂 🗿

[rustic lintel]

Laughable

[kindred pier]

But hey! If chat is being removed, then how am I supposed to get chat banned >:(?

[mortal tundra]

Removing chat is laughable

[midnight spindle]

xdd

[rustic lintel]

It’s not given how many people have complained about the chat but okay

Where?

[boreal glade]

show us the proofs than

[rustic lintel]

Only comments getting deleted breach the rules. Constructive criticism stays

[wooden fern]

Ye +1

[rustic lintel]

You gave a number without evidence😂

It’s the same argument every few hours for no reason

People are out raged about wg removing the chat

However they don’t care to look at how it got to that point

Eu and ru merged

The two cultures clashed immediately

Chat was filled with racism, insults, swearing, spam etc

Thousands of people complained about it here

Wg removed it

Eu: 😦

Like what did you expect😂

[midnight spindle]

thousands??? r u making up numbers cuz ive barely seen anyone complain abt global chat

[rustic lintel]

I’m telling you as someone who’s had to deal with it here daily for at least 4-5 months

So yes. Thousands

You don’t see the volume of complaints because people complain the most right after it happens and it becomes less prevalent over time

Simple logic

[mental estuary]

Hmm (op 15min await time to type again bruh)

[echo oar]

Could they do the same to APAC too many bing chillings insults 笨蛋

[rustic lintel]

They could but it’s far less volume

[spare oriole]

why dont they just remove global chat and put a stronger chat filter on

[idle dome]

Thousands of people are complailning about destroying the EU server by adding CIS to it. If you are European you feel like a minority on EU server, being hitted from every side by cyryllic and low game play quality. The simplest way is of course removing chat without arguments that makes it sense and banning people that says truth, painfull truth but truth.

[gusty plover]

RIP 15 minute cooldown

[rustic lintel]

You act is if the ru players wanted to lose their server and ruin eu on purpose lol

[rustic lintel]

Again. People are moderated for breaking rules. Not because of constructive criticism

I’ll happily say that wg did a poor job of handling the ru server issue. I’ve said it several times already that the best thing would have been to create an “Eu East” server that was brand new

But that takes time, money and far more effort which is why they decided to just merge ru to eu instead

[boreal glade]

1. cause probably it is useless? c'mon wargaming doesn't even have proofs as you tho show us what you are even talking about, show what do you except the players to react staying silence to do nothing? no, because apart of 2 insults the chat brings much more fun and joy in the game that you and the others doesn't even know about it cause busy to watch the 1/2% of the community, and the people were complaining about how it was difficult to communicate with the ukranians cause they spoke only ukranian and not english, and yes you are making numbers, cause in this year i probably saw more constructive and funny things that insults, i'll tell you why they want to delete the chats, cause they want a less problem and less personel to check the 1% of players, and even if there is the 1% if you get offended you can still disable the chat and not worrying about this players, so why disabled it for everyone? if you sensible just disable it! 2) if the game has this "toxicity problem" there is a reason why they are toxic, just deleting the chat you will simple bring more toxicity in the discord servers and in the other chats, so you don't resolve anything for the community, you just bring the toxicity somewhere else, so like the players will still be toxic 3) if the toxicity is the problem why just don't help to make the game less stressful? less stress = guess what? less toxic behaviour, so balancing the tanks, making the gamemodes funnier, deleting the pref mm for certain groups of players that doesn't deserve it cause they have ties with wargaming, making the fun mode actually funny(like the duck event), 4) what if the players will still be toxic? you will delete the game? 5) why doesn't Wargaming listen what the community actually wants instead of focusing on task that nobody wanted and except and after blaming the players for a behaviour that is referred as "Toxic" when in reality is just an answer from the players that probably wants that WG fixes the real problems

[rustic lintel]

The failure for so many here is to act on pure emotions and not consider that wg is running a business and that they were about to lose/give up/whatever you wanna call it, the biggest player base they have by more than double

[wooden fern]

Lol there are toxic players in-game what should wg do?
Punish them for being toxic kids?
Nooooo they should delete whole fkin chat cuz what other thing they can do.

What can do company that dont care about players and cares ONLY about money from it. Start thinkin' and do something other than 3 pbr tanks per one update and stupid skins for kids - maybe any harder to break chat filter? Its not difficult to do if someone want to improve the game - oh, i forgot, mobile phones cant handle it 😂😂😂

[rustic lintel]

Edit it. No swearing or I delete it

[rustic lintel]

If you think that global and team chats are less than even 25% toxic garbage, you still are vastly underestimating it

Erm. I’m not part of wg champ

[molten pewter]

Mute the 2% overly toxic players and implement a stricter chat filter ❌

Remove chat for everyone ✅

Great job

[mortal tundra]

Ok, but removing chat from the game is not a good solution to fight the toxicity of some players. I think toxic players should be banned or muted because chat isnt problem, but the toxic players are

[gusty plover]

Yeah, I totally agree with you. Instead of hiring more support staff to handle the tickets regarding insult they just delete battle chat!! What an easy and convenient decision 💀

[boreal glade]

i'm not underestimating, it's what it is in real. you are all overstimating this problem, world of tanks blitz really needs other type of problems that makes the game toxic and frustating, not the players, for example even removing the WN8 that is ofc an useless way to judge the players, or even removing the statistics, so players don't have something to insult on, removing the chat will generate more hate towards other places but still will be toxic, like there are Tons of things that the game needs to improve and make everything better, but no let's remove the chat, as i say if the game will still be toxic wargaming will remove the game from the store?

[wooden fern]

Guys lets be happy
Still we can buy next skins that best artist in the world makes for our beautiful game

[midnight spindle]

also why not just give the people being racist/toxic or whatever a chat restriction instead of outright removing chat completely, just seems like wg devs don't want to do their jobs

[rustic lintel]

That’s fine when there’s a few dozens complaints. Not when it’s hundreds and tickets take over a week to answer

[rustic lintel]

Most of global and team chat isn’t helpful or friendly

It’s hard to be toxic in chat if there isn’t a chat. Easy

[echo flame]

The garage messages in question

[mortal tundra]

Its hard to communicate with team if there isnt a chat. Easy

[gusty plover]

My personal opinion is that the WG Blitz support is shortstaffed and that this is the easiest way to fix things. Before all these players were on russian WG Blitz support, now they are on the english eu support. Therefore maybe now this decision (1-2 years ago chat was the same, now only with more cyrillic)

[wooden fern]

Its hard to communicate on EU in because of russian and ukrainian players that dont
even know about english language existing in this world.

[rustic lintel]

You act like people didn’t blatantly ignore it to begin with

[rustic lintel]

Everyone is allowed to speak their own language🤦🏼‍♂️

[midnight spindle]

no just hear me out they should just make a self learning ai that auto restricts you when you say offensive racial slurs it'd be great investement instead of removing chat (which the majority did not ask for and is against it lol)

[cursive zenith]

Personally i think we should remember that: wg is a company, and as any business it needs to make a profit. Having the issues with people abusing chat isn’t ideal.
However personally I’m for a stricter policy when it comes to handeling the abuse use of the chat. I honestly hope wg can make a better system that works in favor of promoting teamwork and strategic planning. This would require thé a chat system of sorts. Who knows, they may even install a translator. But i think they should move this issue really really high up, if they wish to continue having a good and healthy community

[rustic lintel]

The current chat system blocks names of tanks in game… You’re not asking for something that can be realistically implemented soon

So you’re going to ban French? German? Spanish? Portuguese? Etc

Take the bias somewhere else because it doesn’t belong here

[boreal glade]

1)show me the proofs, i can always insult someone on discord or in the personal chat or leave the clan and insult him in the clan chat

[rustic lintel]

Play a game. There’s your proof

@midnight spindle if eu merged with ru would you learn Russian? No?

[magic shard]

@willow rivet will there be a way to get the old tanks(leichttraktor,t1, t18,t82,pz3/4,...) again?🥺 (please not for money)

[willow rivet]

Only WG knows and would have to decide that

[mortal tundra]

Deleting chat wg prohibits writing in any language.

[gusty plover]

You can't compare Russian with English this easily because you can expect to find some1 speaking English in every country of the world as a tourist. It's not the same with Russian :(( @mighty hound I think it's cuz of shortstaffed support on EU because more players now on EU server

[mighty hound]

I'm interested to hear what you think the real reason is?

[rustic lintel]

But you can. You’re asking for a whole country to learn a different language because they aren’t the same as you

[midnight spindle]

well just fix the current chat system simple as that ^_^b

[rustic lintel]

It’s fixed

Wrong. Entirely wrong. The eu isn’t just English speakers for one. Two there’s another 25 languages besides English and Russian

There’s tons of Spanish speakers in na and you don’t see anyone complaining. You should try googling the concept of coexistence

[boreal glade]

i'm doing it, i don't see any insult

[rustic lintel]

Keep playing long enough. You’ll get there but make sure to keep your eyes open

[gusty plover]

100 %

[warm socket]

Let's be real insults are there, I find the majority of them quite creative and funny🤣, but chat must stay anyway

[rustic lintel]

The fact that people are trying to ignore them to push their own narrative is really funny

[rustic lintel]

Except they’re not visiting a country for a holiday 😂

They only chose to come to eu because it was the only realistic option supported by wg. They could stay in ru with lesta but clearly that’s a risk they didn’t want to take

[boreal glade]

i'm doing it, rn i'm 20 battles and my eyes are super open

[mortal tundra]

But english is the most known language in europe. If you want communicate with somebody from another country you use english.(I know that somebody cant speak english, but i have best chance to communicate) My native language is polish and if i will start writing in polish the most of people will not understand me. Is the same situation with german russian czech ukrainian and the most languages

[unreal creek]

McBruh Alex already said chat will be readded at a later date once they sort out the problems

All this chatter is literally useless now

[rustic lintel]

You’ve played 20 battles in 17 minutes? I can see why you’re not seeing anything😂

[rustic lintel]

But it’s fun to yell🥹

[gusty plover]

like the removal of the Garage General Chat on EU server was just a temporary measure? I don't think so because Alex already said that filter cant be improved. I don't see it readded at least not in the near future

[radiant maple]

"Let's remove COD's voice chat system, it's too toxic"

[rustic lintel]

I think it’ll be removed in time tbh. It’s a bandaid solution

[left stone]

Wait, yall still had that?

… why was the chat cooldown extended to 15 minutes?

[rustic lintel]

Wg needed to kill the toxic chat, okay fine. Remove it entirely. Bandaid

Next step is to figure out how to solve the core issue. Either chat filters or a separate serve is my guess

[boreal glade]

i'm not a professional Yolo suiciding like you don't worry , btw i'm playing since 11pm

[rustic lintel]

I’m not on eu so I don’t care either way

[meager hull]

lol why remove chat after years of toxicity when currently half the players in your game won’t get offended by whatever you type in chat because they don’t speak the same language as you

[boreal glade]

so why you are even discussing about it

[rustic lintel]

Not caring that you do or don’t yolo isn’t the same as you basically claiming chat is problem free

[wheat elm]

bruh

[naive thorn]

Tbh my school is more toxic than wotb lmao , and thats something , if this change goes through , wotb wont be the same ever again on eu , they already ruined the mm and training rooms by merging ru and eu , why cant they make a seperate server cluster?

[midnight spindle]

bruhh

[boreal glade]

you yolo not me, i know how to play this game lol

[rustic lintel]

Obviously

[naive thorn]

Man wotb is much more chaotic in the past year or 2 than i remember since 2014

[meager hull]

Yep I totally agree, it’s not like this is some we want to make the game more kid friendly move either, as blitz is pretty calm compared to the dialogue used by school kids these days

[naive thorn]

Haha the stuff we say in school is much much much worse than anything on blitz but hey i think everythings gonna be just a tad less toxic for a week or 2 cus my school basket ball team won Irelands Under 16s all irelands final which is big

[kindred surge]

Let’s create a voice chat for a match in wotb, at the start u get the option to join, you can communicate and work as a team on that, if any toxicity happens that’s just part of life and oh well.

Bingo who needs message chats when you can have voice chats.

Also… toxicity can’t go it’s something you have to deal with. Does big AAA titles disable chat. NO you can’t Eliminate it if anything it will make players go.

It’s a competitive game even checkers and uno has voice and text chat, if u play competitive games like this it’s necessary to be able to communicate. If your too soft that you can’t handle “nub” or something along the lines…play tank simulator

[smoky agate]

As of 27-02 discord channels will no longer be available. THere is a chance people will be toxic.

Have a nice day.

[wheat elm]

ty

[rustic lintel]

Hard pass😂

[naive thorn]

As of 27th of february , to play the game you will need to fork over your sanity and skills to improve battles and not to promote toxicity , we will also be nerfing all tech tree tanks 🤡 😂

[smoky agate]

RL already took my sanity, is there a no-sanity line available?

[naive thorn]

Lost my sanity because of this game when 2019 or 2020 appeared

[open hollow]

Don't make this political

[spring cipher]

Help me where can I enter code

[open hollow]

Buddy. How is this related to the game or even the chat removal in the slightest?

Its not censorship. its asking you to follow the damn #rules

Since you can't follow the rules, anything related to politics will be muted. This is your final warning

[carmine helm]

What has people shopping in capital cities got to do with WG removing chat on the EU server of blitz! 😂😂 I’ve seen some bizarre connections postulated in my time, but that is the most out there one I think I’ve ever seen 🤣

[cursive zenith]

Personality I wouldn’t mind having the chat turned off for regular battles. But I certainly feel like the chat should be enabled in the training rooms. People there jut wane enjoy some strategies and combative tests

[gaunt trellis]

lol what exactly was happening in EU server

[surreal wharf]

Hey Shot, hope ur well. Anyway it is enabled for training rooms still and will probably always be.

[astral forum]

[night scaffold]

[worn ocean]

I am feeling kinda bad about the chat removal. On EU server everyone got frustrated cuz nobody expect RU and UKR could understand the spam of azbooka that imo doesn't belong to the EU server. (Im sorry)
The future solution is mask in chat for English..or at least for azbooka removal. Everyone can speak English, at least... You go right, you go mid. It's not that hard or is it?
Europeans got upset cuz they could not understand and the RU players and UKR players got over the server. But since there is azbooka everywhere in the game chat on EU, There is no point of having a chat.
I made a quick survey and... It's not the politics... It's the frustration of misunderstanding.

I Hope that sb from developement will get to this message...

[unreal ember]

May would this be the opportunity to add the battle quick commands menu for the Nintendo switch players? I hope that sooooooo much

[sonic obsidian]

Yes nintendo switch players have much problems in a battle.

[quaint cipher]

sa20001#4175 has been warned.

[knotty sable]

For me chat is not problem, it was always toxic and that would never change. This migration on Eu server is the biggest issue, the game expirience is terrible with ultra short battles either u lose or win. Its so weird that everyone cry about chat while the battles look horrible, I guess people more like to chat more then actually have some fun in game (which is impossible last few months). I have a question... After all this political issue is done, will wg move the cis players where they was before or we will enjoy yolo and suicide battles on Eu server forever?

[carmine helm]

It doesn’t help when the MM is often the cause of poor gameplay. Players become frustrated and then vent. The only outlet is the chat.
I’m not talking about MM bad players against good, I’m talking about the makeup of the tanks. Literally just had a battle where my team was 3 heavys and 4 TDs (I thought there was a limit of 3 per team? But that’s another argument) and 3 of those 4 TDs were the slow, camper type, the 4th was a JP2, but he camped too. The enemy had 3 heavys, 3 TDs (but two were mobile, inc a Super Hellcat, which is more like a light tank/medium than a TD) and a medium. And guess what, they out-spotted us and sniped us to death. Totally pointless battle. No one would choose a team with no ‘eyes’ unless you knew it was Himmelsdorf map!

[boreal glade]

this is what wargaming and the mods don't understand

[cursive zenith]

Yea, also hey man. I didn’t you wore here. I see you’re still part of the rpcs? Anyway best wishes from Avalonia

Anyway I’m just here to hoopfully convince them not to delete the chat for rooms. As that would defeat the whole point of em

[terse wren]

Chat isnt the problem why remove them?
And there are people dont understand quick commands
Better keep the chat instead of removing it and left the quick commands

[warm iris]

Hi

[cyan tundra]

I may be wrong, but I believe the general matchmaking rule is maximum of 3 tank destroyers, but the matchmaker may relax the rule if there isn't enough people in the queue etc. I have had 4 td teams once or twice before as well

Yeah, but I think it's quite rare now. Again, this is purely off my memory so might be wrong but first thing that comes to mind is Pz B2 - the tier 4 collector german tank. Fairly certain that even to this day it has preferential mm, cant meet tier 5

unless you toon a pz b2 with a tier 5

[sacred belfry]

Just valentine 2 and Pz B2, the 2 tier 4s that had preferential MM in +2/-2, but couldn't be -2

[graceful halo]

Honestly I’m surprised wg is taking away chat for EU and not NA. As far as I can tell NA is more toxic than EU (but I don’t play on EU so I can’t verify this)

[bronze cosmos]

I play on NA and from what i’ve seen EU is way worse

[dim light]

I will bet there will be an increase of players pushing teammates out into fire and trolling now that the toxic players can't swear at people... Toxicity will always find a way, it's the honest player that gets punished the most with removal of chat
Imagine a scenario, you poke a hill, a toxic player pushes you out into fire and you get killed and did 0 damage - you had the option to say "X pushed me out, report him"
Now you will just end up getting reported by even more people post battle for "inactivity" as people will just see you bottom score with minimum damage, potentially getting you, the victim, banned too
Not to mention not being able to coordinate with actual good teammates (god bless those rare encounters)

Either keep chat on and people who are actually annoyed by it HAVE the option to turn it off ALREADY.
Or, bring back the "reloading/ready to fire" command - I feel like that one is really impactful on the outcome of some scenarios - imagine being in a 2v1, your teammate is a oneshot on another side of map and trying to trade shots with an enemy, you can do the "hold position", "reloading: 7 sec left" and "attacking target" to let him know to stay patient and potentially save the game

Edit: if the chat removal is a permanent decision the devs MUST improve the quick commands drastically as soon as possible, potentially adding something like a "retreat" command, and make it work something like the "attack" one so that when you aim at a friendly, it says "X, pull back/retreat back"

[cursive zenith]

Yea, or else they will see the results for themselves. When everyone starts leaving the game

[waxen nebula]

Yes but deleting chat is gonna make the problems arise even higher

[rustic lintel]

How are problems going to arise if people can’t talk?

Racism? Not possible
Spam? Not possible
Swearing? Not possible
Insults? Not possible

Seems like it eliminates a lot of problems

[bronze cosmos]

I mean they can shoot the wall to make an insult 🧠
Yeah I guess

[primal acorn]

Bro only can go in private chat after battle end and remembered name of victim who will get toxicity there , i feel this already forward !! Yes correct @rustic lintel @rain olive both thing , but do you think if this happen , will ticket grow more to wg with all insults and they will be able to handle that ? ( just asking cuz of safety of normal players )

[rustic lintel]

Even if they try that the shells disappear right?

[rustic lintel]

Considering this already exists, there’s far less to provoke chat raging now so even this is going to be less noticeable

[rain olive]

And that's if the other player has messages from anyone enabled

[gusty plover]

Hi, are there any new status updates regarding the chat situation?

[broken field]

no, wg rarely backs down even on dumb decisions

[rain olive]

It's only been a couple days so they are probably still gathering feedback

And they will continue to do so for a couple weeks

[woeful spade]

Hello friends. Guess what my most pressing issue is today! That‘s right, the chat removal on EU

[wintry matrix]

EU server down?

[quaint merlin]

parts of it atleast

[tawdry sorrel]

Wg for god sake do not remove battle chat, so many players are having fun in rooms and you decide to turn off battle chat, how do we talk to each other, me and my friends most of the time go rooms together and we chat together, at least do not turn off chats in rooms thats all i ask.

[eager hearth]

I agree with you, and one more thing, without chat, we can’t nuance, « A » can mean « i go in A » or « you go in A » or « everybody go in A ». The chat is rarelly used, but with a good team, it is very usefull.
PS: sorry for my english level, i don’t speak english very well

[crisp prawn]

They would need to rework the code what is chat related, they cba to do that so it's easiest for them to just disable it..

[edgy pewter]

It was quicker for WG to remove battle chat and improve quick commands but that only solves an immediate problem. It buys them time to look for other solutions. “…we've made a decision to disable the in-game battle chat and to focus on looking for new ways of communicating effectively.” #game-status-upd message

[crisp prawn]

Yea I know.

[gaunt trellis]

You can only toon with another pzb2 or valentine to keep it

[gusty plover]

In my opinion the chat on EU server was toxic since many years. I don't know why WG are acting now so hectic. They could've worked on a solution for years

[naive thorn]

No they are tunnelvisioning extremely hard in their shell and cant seem to see the dumpster fires around them and the feedback which everyone has given (lol they put a 15 min timer because they dont want us to discuss this ahaha ofc they did)

[carmine ocean]

Actually that's false. Having one Pz B2 or Valentine actually gives your entire platoon pref MM. The pref MM is tied to the tanks themselves regardless of whether they are in a platoon or not

I know this because I sealclubbed once and my toonmate could play whatever he wanted. No tier 5s at all

[gaunt trellis]

wait really, wow

[willow rivet]

This channel has always had a long timer, because it is not a chat channel. Nothing new.

[gusty plover]

Yeah, the 15 minute timeout came after the 5 minute timeout. We discussed too much probably lmao Really dumb

[naive thorn]

yep , they dont like wg gettin hate

[willow rivet]

No, it is about people formulating their thoughts and feedback, in a constructive manner.

[cursive zenith]

Eh atm wg is treating us like preschoolers. And to some extant we earned that, however I wonder if wg is really open to listening to us. Because lately it feels like there is no consideration given to our personal perspective

[willow rivet]

Everybody's personal perspective is respected, and probably falls in maybe 3 categories ( pro, neutral, against ) or more; and WG also looks at things from their end, as to what they can consider as solutions, but then what can be done technically, etc ... and simple vs complex, low or high effectiveness in solving issues, ...

[boreal glade]

he is 100% right

[old root]

People are going to find other ways around this, plus people who are generally toxic, are going to seek out more trouble. Censoring people isn’t going to solve the problem. What will is taking actions on players who use foul language, are inappropriate, aren’t a team player, being toxic. So let’s just say WG removes the battle chat, that leaves WG’s discord servers, Reddit, forums, social media, private messages in game, for people to continue to be offensive. Then what is WG going to do. Block/Remove other features. And once you start to censor people, instead of dealing with them the right way, players will start to leave, and then the game will die. I’m sorry but that is the harsh reality.

[willow rivet]

English only please, on this discord

And no offensive words @whole olive

[boreal glade]

i told them like 4000 times but this doesn't seem the problem, Toxicity in the chat isn't the problem that WG wants to fix...

[ashen wren]

Double standards are applied here. In the Discord, on the one hand, it should only be written in English languages, but at the same time you defend the attitude in the game, everyone should be allowed to write in their language. That doesn't make sense argumentatively.

[willow rivet]

Consolidating chat on Discord to English, when staff & moderators use English, is sensible.

[wind mica]

Besides, you don't want anyone raging in here like in game

[ashen wren]

I agree with this, too. So why should you write in any language in the game itself? If everyone uses a different language, no one understands anything and problems are inevitable. My mother tongue is also not English and yet I use it. We will see whether we all calm down starting from next week or not.

[gusty plover]

You totally have a point her. Thanks for highlighting it (In my personal opinion WoT Blitz Support for EU Server is short-staffed after so many players came here from the RU Server. The chat was always toxic and now the volume is just much much higher. In order to relieve the support, this decision has now been made.)

[whole olive]

:r I'm russ

[rustic lintel]

Find other ways like telepathy?😂

[woeful spade]

Blocking, pushing, there are many ways to ruin someone‘s day and it doesn‘t take a lot of fantasy to come up with them

[old root]

Maybe bum rushing the enemy hoping you get destroyed first to make sure your team doesn’t have an advantage in the game. Or leave the match. Of course I’m not going to do any of that, you wanted other ideas so here they are.

[wooden radish]

i really hope chat in NA doesnt get removed too

[quaint cipher]

Sue_Ellen#9907 was banned

[mighty hound]

I'm interested to hear what you believe the problem is, and how they are wanting to fix it?

[old root]

My guess is too many people complaining about being offended. That’s my guess, I may be wrong

[rustic lintel]

And what possible reason would someone have to do that? Normally that happens after someone gets insulted in chat so they throw the game. Now there’s no chat 🥹

[rustic lintel]

What would provoke that response from people who didn’t already do it before the chat was removed?

[old root]

Because they are butthurt that no one is listening to their one million pings on the map, or they are having a bad day and they decide to take it out on others.

[rustic lintel]

And those people were there pre chat removal doing the same thing

There won’t be new toxicity or toxic people. Some will still do the same garbage of yoloing intentionally, throwing games, blocking and pushing teammates to get shot but those people already existed and won’t have changed. However, the people being toxic in chat will have no outlet other than to join the yolo/block group, quit or just play normally. Far less toxicity will exist especially given there’s zero catalyst for it anymore

[naive thorn]

Only positive thing from chat being removed is no Cyrillic spam anymore in every game

[tawdry sorrel]

How about they just make a system in the chat that catches people insulting and give them 3 chances of spamming a censored word 3 TIMES, and then the game bans you automatically from the game until the next battle how about that, is it very hard for them to think of this in 8 years.

[old root]

How am I now supposed to communicate with my teammates? Also how will I say to the opposite team GLHF or GG?

[crisp island]

They don't get to be told good luck or have fun.

[rustic lintel]

The quick commands are fine enough. If you need more than that then I’d recommend platoon on voice chat

[rustic lintel]

Perfectly said

[kindred scroll]

WG please make skills bar/icons visible while using the alternative view that shows enemy tanks and names!!

[kindred brook]

Is it possible to transfer my Account From EU to NA, like CIS players could do from CIS -> EU?? Cuz they speak mostly English and it would make my gameplay much more enjoying... But im not gonna do it, because i have friends playing it on EU but for someone who is competetive and doesnt have any friends playing it, I see this as absolute win

[gaunt trellis]

Enjoy 200 ping if you do it lol

[cursive zenith]

Yea it’s great

[molten pewter]

"Hmm yeah why would you need to talk with your teammates in a TEAM BASED game?? That's useless, why would anyone need that!!"

Chat was useful since 70% of the blitz (talking about random games, not tourneys) players DON'T CARE about quick messages, and the other 30% spams them completely randomly, sometimes you could get them to move by telling them" COME HERE" 2 or 3 times.
Also considering that in a lot of games the last player standing is a bot who camped all game, you could at least try to give them advice on how to win the game (enemy direction, hp ecc.).
In my opinion completely removing chat in a game like this is a HUGE mistake.

[fossil coyote]

Question: When are the best times for shipping in the game and good offers in the year?

[gusty plover]

Today is the last day with battle chat. How is everyone holding up so far?

[cursive zenith]

Eh it’s not the first time wg has made a mistake

[molten pewter]

black friday and Xmas auction mate

[woeful spade]

The lack of a less severe outlet for their anger

[random spoke]

[quaint cipher]

ACr-130#9914 was banned

[dreamy storm]

☝️ in all honesty, I really wouldn’t be surprised to see more players resort to blocking and pushing because they no longer have the ability to express their frustration in the chat
Which would without any doubts be a thousand times worse than any collection of slurs they could write

[pine steppe]

you saying keyboard warriors that just resort blocking teammates instead is far less toxic? ayo you trippin bro?

[rustic lintel]

There will be less toxicity and less toxic players. A few keyboard warriors might resort to it but it’ll be a small minority

[final radish]

Actually no ppl just straight up resort to griefing games instead that will be worse than keyboard warriors duking it all out in chat since at least you have the option of not paying attention to their stupidity. Straight up griefing will directly affect gameplay

[wraith swan]

Hey, don't you think we need more crew voices Like WOT PC especially the female ones (Not anime girls) 😄 it is boring to use the same crew voices for every time you play a nation🤞.

[rustic lintel]

Why? There’s no chat to provoke them into it🤔

No to mention there will be so many less tickets for support to deal with from the chat being gone so hopefully the blockers and yoloers will actually get dealt with

[gusty plover]

That's probably the reason for the chat removal in the first place (short-staffed support)

[rustic lintel]

Also you’re ignoring the fact that so many people rage because they died… so it’s hard to grief a game when you’re no longer able to play within that match and there’s no longer a chat to rage in

What a great argument you guys have here😂

[rustic lintel]

I think it’s a small contributing factor. Again I’ve seen thousands of complaints here so if wg have gotten even 10% of that in tickets it’s still a lot to go through and sort out

[meager hull]

Bro u don’t even play on Eu why you riding wargaming like this. It’s a multiplayer game where they remove communication methods. Just think about it

[rustic lintel]

The chat problems are universal in the types of garbage so it really doesn’t matter what server you play on. Eu has more of it but it’s the same everywhere you go
(Also I’ve already said that wg botched the server merge. They should have created an “Eu East” and moved CIS there)

How much of the nonsense in chat is from players who are already dead? Those people no longer have a platform. Imo that’s a great thing given how rare it is that dead players try to give actually helpful tips to remaining team mates

[woeful spade]

Chances are they just take their rage to the next team and start assaulting everyone they think ‚drive in the wrong direction‘ or ‚camp‘

[rustic lintel]

Did those people not previously exist?

[naive thorn]

After this chat nuke , no one will be able to say on middleburg to go up and im bettin im gonna lose more and more games after this chat removal , what the hell am i supposed to do in a 2v5 or 2v6 game with my teammate who cant COMMUNICATE with me? Tell me what am to do besides trying to survive and fail

[dreamy storm]

Those people do already exist, but their numbers could increase given that they now can no longer vent off their frustration in the chat

[rustic lintel]

And the number of chat ragers are now 0 so it’s a net positive result

[midnight spindle]

Stop pretending like your team ever listened.

[woeful spade]

Nobody cares about chat ragers so no, not really

Also nice one Wargaming to increase the slowmode. You are really collecting them sympathy points right now

Maybe WG should add a slow mode to their decision-making so we finally get more thought out and justifiable decisions

[rustic lintel]

Longer cooldowns are meant for longer thought out opinions and expressions

[dreamy storm]

I fail to see any sort of net positive in having some of the chat ragers turning into pushers/blockers or serial suicide players. I can just ignore someone who is whining or raging in the chat, or turn said chat off. I can’t exactly ignore someone who is raging and either blocking me or pushing me in the open in front of three enemies.

[gusty plover]

Sometimes it does work to tell the team to go up and this is reason enough to keep the chat. Sometimes a player puts question marks in the chat to ask for a strategy and most of the time he gets an advice which will no longer be possible after removal. It's not good for the game to remove chat. WG should just punish rule breakers like the State does with shoplifting, violence etc. in real life

[naive thorn]

Actually most teams did when half the team said ^^^^ or up or hill on middleburg , or even on port bay when half the team usually said cross the river , and plus there was no need to be rude you know

[wind mica]

It seems like World of Words Blitz in here

[midnight spindle]

That’s the part of your team that already knows better. They would have more than likely done same thing even if you hadn’t called out directions. Besides map pings are still a thing. Use them.

All I see here is a lot of hypotheticals. “Well now players will do X or Y”.

The fact is that we don’t know how players will react to this change once it’s implemented… but great job posting a bunch of bad ideas for these players you are so concerned about to potentially copy.

[woeful spade]

You know as well as I do that most arguments against the chat removal don‘t revolve around speculating where players may take their frustration (DMs, next game, their real life, whatever).

It doesn‘t change that the chat removal does not solve the issue (of excessive negativity in the game) but just fights the symptoms, and is thus likely to increase the severity of symptoms elsewhere

Accurate depiction of WG: 🙈🙉🙊

[gusty plover]

💯 🔥

[naive thorn]

How is crossing the river on port bay a bad idea? You can get a crossfire on the bridge and help your team on the hill ._. And you can spot the enemies if your a light , nearly everytime my team dosnt go there , we lose and @woeful spade 💯

[rustic lintel]

Don’t confuse meta trends for what direction to go with people working together

There’s a general overall play style for every map with a few being more diverse or dynamic. That doesn’t mean they’ve been effected by team orders

[eternal copper]

..

[spring sapphire]

1. you are from NA server, 2) you have 34 battles in 30dd

[rustic lintel]

As if I haven’t played 35k+ games over 8 years lol. The problems of eu are perhaps unique in what language you’re seeing but we get Spanish on na. Great attempt though

These are the same issues since the beginning of blitz, however they’re vastly more prevalent since the eu/ru merge for obvious reasons. I don’t need to play on eu when I can read complaints here and get an understanding

[kindred surge]

Accurate depiction of WG: 🙈🙉🙊.

@woeful spade PIN this, nothing but facts here

[spring sapphire]

you are from NA, so all your years of "gaming experience" are from NA server and this is a topic fron EU server and it is simply not true that this was a problem since the beginning of blitz, that is a giant lie and if someone is fragile enough to get triggered by the insults guess what? disable the chat, they literally made the chat that can be disable for the same reason

[gusty plover]

true

[naive thorn]

Ngl i never even knew you could disable chat until all the debates and solutions from chat removal came lmao but yea all his years of experience are from NA not EU , if you watch welders weld , dosnt mean you can weld , you dont know the ins and outs , idk bad analogy or not , i just dont want chat removed like a majority of players do , time to enjoy my last day of chat , i suggest most people to enjoy their freedom one last time before its removed for the foreseeable future

[cursive zenith]

Why don’t they encourage good behavior? Like extra credits or something of people who are nice to eachother?

[kindred surge]

As a NA player this won’t affect me as of right now but i feel like they are trialing this bs no chat and in the future they will imperilment it into all regions. The excuse was the EU servers merging but maybe they want to trial it as well and what better way on the most active region. I strongly believe that they are going to find something “positive” out of this change and turn off chat for ALL regions in the future.

Also before you do changes why can’t you make a poll in discord or a quick message in game asking if you would like this change or not. Maybe that’s a good way to see if it’s a positive change or not

[final radish]

Chat isnt the only thing that could agitate people unfortunately since alot of people lack common sense so rlly the toxicity will be downright worse im not complaining im just saying chat removal doesnt rlly remove toxicity

[finite flare]

honestly,nothing will remove toxicity.it is part of online worlds.no matter what you do,it always be there

[spring sapphire]

they are removing the chats to make less people work for the assistance.... it's so easy to do and so easy to understand

[naive thorn]

I saw this thing for csgo , each player will get 3 tokens for reports , of they file a report and it is found to be true then they get another token for a report , if the accused is not guilty , the reporter has 3 strikes before they are banned , why cant they do this? Also in the report they have to review the replay

[cursive zenith]

Sounds perfect

[spring sapphire]

it's very nice that the playerbase here has better solutions than the WG team and still they don't listen XD

[cursive zenith]

The annoying thing is: it wouldn’t be that hard to implement
Yet it wg chooses the easy route

[spring sapphire]

After they deleted the in game chat, they must delete the the game cause everything can be assumed as toxic

[lavish summit]

Just your behaviour in battle can trigger some ppl

[rustic lintel]

So it’s a previously existing issue. Got it

[rustic lintel]

Far less people will be agitated without chat. Also. Lmao. Toxic chat is a huge part of the problem that disappears overnight

[rustic lintel]

It’s a universal game on 3 servers. People are people so it doesn’t matter where the server is, the same issues will always arise to varying degrees

[old root]

Very True

[vestal sun]

I wonder how EU thinks they are different and superior to Asia and NA?

[noble stratus]

Well some one caused them 5o lose chat first

[spring sapphire]

nono, communities are different, the NA community is different than the EU one

[final radish]

I have doubts about that as its a online game and toxicity and ego is a thing thats common removing chat straight up causes them to vent by either griefing or Dming people after a game. Although with current circumstances in EU you are right as the RU EU merging kinda makes the communication between players extremely hostile so on this case only removing chat makes sense and im not againts it anymore as the wg staff alr confirmed other server is unaffected. Im just saying though under normal circumstances removing chat will just make the game downright griefing heaven.

I think tho whoever suggested the cluster idea before has probs best solution, quick commands should be a good temporary solution at the moment but wg need to seperate the clusters between east and west eu due to the different culture and language demographic.

Also each server is different enough if 2 of em merged then the EU server situation will happen as the way each community work is just too different.

[rustic lintel]

So are you saying that racism, spam, insults and swearing is unique to EU?

[rustic lintel]

Again. An Eu East server soon would be a great option

I also disagree. Wg will have far less tickets now so answering the blocking tickets should be much much faster

[lavish summit]

I'm gonna miss the chat for strategic use, because yes, there were ppl using it in a WoT PC fashion for useful tactical information. Not on a daily basis, granted, but every so often it brighted up the game you know

[rustic lintel]

Quick commands and map pings are still helpful for relaying thoughts and tactics. It should be faster as well and they’re in whatever language the user picks so that won’t be an issue either

[finite flare]

didnt wg told they bring chat back after they find a solution?or i misread it?

[spring sapphire]

not superior, just different

[rustic lintel]

I believe they said it was possible

[rustic lintel]

Apparently eu lost chat for no reason and it’s actually a utopia

[lavish summit]

I'm not as hopeful as you regarding these, because the ping on the map is not very accurate, for instance you can't pin point a specific bush. Also, you can't tell how much hp left a tank's on, you can't say that you have broken ammo, no ammo left, dead loader and what not.
That being said, I concur that only a tiny small % of the players actually relay this kind of intel. So, to that regard, disabling the chat is a nerf to the more sociable players.
Last but not least, man, I want to type gg at the end of a game and thank a teammate who rushed to help me. Unless they add a "thank you" message like in WoT PC, that part is lost...

[vestal sun]

Eu: Why is our chat getting banned?
Other servers: Why isn't our chat getting banned?

[rustic lintel]

Given na lost global chat within 3 years of existing, this is a very good point😂

[rustic lintel]

It’s an immediate way to “get rid” (stall) the problem for now. I agree it hurts players that did nothing wrong but the quick commands and map pings should be decent enough for them for now

Long term I imagine team chat comes back (global doesn’t serve a purpose imo) and fingers crossed on another server being created

[spring sapphire]

Yes. i noticed that a lot of NA are more sensible that EU ones, in the EU we have jokes that are considered "offensive" for americans but not for us, so yeah all of those are determinated on how you consider them

[final radish]

I believe so

@rustic lintel I kinda disagree on the less ticket part since while its true the ticket number will be less its not gonna be by much since most people arent gonna be bothered to send tickets for toxic chat rather they would send tickets for griefing, afk and just bad plays in general as thats just how online game works ppl will be toxic to eachother but most of the time the reason they report a player is for plays that causes their team to lose. Sure theres some tickets about toxicity but in online games those werent as abundant as tickets about trolls, cheating accusations and low skill level.

And lets be honest these accusations is usually pretty ridiculous and just waste wg time. At least with toxicity it can be seen pretty clearly but with these they need to check alot of stuff and review evidence and most of the time its just some people rotating to get better vantage points but people report it as griefing/throwing.

[rustic lintel]

I think they’re fairly accurate with their statement. Chats are not primarily used for team work in my experience and given the past few months of people voicing their experience on eu, it certainly seems worse than normal

People aren’t being realistic given prior decisions to merge ru/eu. Wg can’t ban the Russian alphabet, which is their own native language themselves and the primary language for the biggest player base in the game by far

[keen terrace]

When next event will come?

[spring sapphire]

i told the reason like 500 times, but yeah imagine not listening

[final radish]

Thats true its rare to see people use the chat feature for their intended purpose which is a shame. It is a rather questionable move to remove chat in eu altogether especially with the tensions but its understandable as they need temporary solution for now before they can fix it properly.

@spring sapphire dude thats a blatant sarcasm. And also we cant listen since this is entire thread is in text not in voice.

[rustic lintel]

Once more. Just for fun

[spring sapphire]

"people aren't being realistic", this decision to delete the chat doesn't have any logic correlated, like if there is toxicity here they should delete the whole discord server cause of a minority, so for you is right putting a deficit to the mayority of players that uses the chat for fun, communication and recruting or just for a simple chat for the 1% of players that uses it to be toxic

[final radish]

It does have a logic corelated for deleting but the explanation is rather scuffed. To be more specific its the toxicity that happened because of language barrier after eu/ru merge where it just straight up cause hostilities in every match. But yeah the complete detail wasnt there so ppl catch it as "Chat toxic so chat removed". This also explains why only EU suffers from this as NA and APAC is unaffected

[rustic lintel]

It is though. Eu collectively has complained about the chat, so wg said ok, we will remove it. Now people don’t like the decision but they also would be mad if wg did nothing too lol

Also, who recruits people mid game??

[finite flare]

eu chat really was useless in my point of view,it either was completely silent,or language that i didnt understand.but because they mostly were after they die,i dont think it was nice words anyway lol.even before merge i dont recall any moment that they were useful.

[spring sapphire]

nonono people didn't complained about the chat, people complained about the ukranians that didn't spoke english, don't feed the others with misinformations, this was easy resolvable like other games did with an translator, and yes i do recruit even in the mid of the game

[rustic lintel]

But where was this happening? Oh in game chat? Oh do go on

Hence them complaining about chat

[spice thunder]

Wait global chat what is that? Ohhh I though u meant that global chat in the message window in the garage that has never wroked

[rustic lintel]

I’m hoping this isn’t sarcasm. It’s the chat for everyone in game. Both teams can see it

[teal belfry]

??? (error when entering battle)

[scarlet gust]

@echo crater what happened with the servers??

[shadow jetty]

gg wg

[carmine helm]

I’ve just been kicked out of a battle right at the start and my tank is still in the battle. Really good job WG

[indigo mirage]

Same problem happened 3 time in 2 weeks, and during Blitz Master tournaments

[sturdy ginkgo]

We got kicked out of our tournament

[thin fjord]

Eu servers gg

[slim steeple]

Happend rn too
Game crashed 38 sec lasted

[stiff jewel]

we kicked out from room and then from entire game

[quaint cipher]

Murasameeee_#2958 was muted

[tame socket]

Lol

[soft iris]

good servers wargaming

[rustic lintel]

It’s pretty apparent that the eu servers are down. Hopefully it’s short and wg will have an announcement soon. No need to continue saying the same thing here

[spring sapphire]

in the game chat ofc, but it was cause it wasn't possible to communicate with them cause they spoke russian, not for toxic behaviour, that is a big difference, lots of EU players don't care about toxicity, cmon this is world of tanks, not barbie

[bronze cosmos]

Since the EU servers are down, how about going outside and taking some fresh air ?

[rustic lintel]

Lol

[worldly drum]

just came home.. wanted to relax a bit playing the game 🥲

[torpid carbon]

Go touch some grass

[civic narwhal]

@echo crater EU Server down?

[rustic lintel]

@civic narwhal read above…

[autumn cave]

me too

[austere crystal]

you talking about servers being down? I experienced something in game, the game literally kicked me back to the lobby while playing a battle, also when I started a new battle the tank's texture suddenly disappeared and after that, I got kicked back to garage again. What is this??

[rustic lintel]

You’re like a day late to the party here

[pastel radish]

What is going on with the servers? EU servers are literally unplayable

[torn lintel]

why u delete my message ? Nothing was
insulting, a simple observation.... For improve games and help you to make a good game, and an atractive game
I was the first to report the problem here...

[spring sapphire]

EU server are down 1 time each week but the main thing is to resolve the "chat problems"

[rustic lintel]

I don’t work there. Nor do I decide the priorities

@spring sapphire 20+ people were banned in under 30 minutes for being toxic here because of the servers being down. It’s not “just the Russians”

[amber basin]

Any idea about tournaments? It is getting postponed again and again. and we are a bit sick of waiting

[rustic lintel]

The best advice is to just keep trying to log in but I wouldnt expect games to happen today

[willow rivet]

There's 65000 people on EU online, so it is not like the servers are totally dead ...

... but who knows where the issue might be, with what cluster, etc

[spring sapphire]

maybe some players don't have the best connections and they can't hold the communication, dunno

[rustic lintel]

There’s some unaffected server clusters from the sounds of things

[willow rivet]

I am observing massive packet loss on the provider AORTA.NET in Amsterdam ... that never helps anybody.

[sage axle]

Hello, I've noticed that if someone send me message from friends the message doesnt load... Is it known problem or its just me??

[gusty plover]

Is the removal of chat function exactly at 00:00 CET?

[spring sapphire]

there are some problems with the servers rn, they pinged it here

[normal arrow]

Please anyone who can easily contact with the staff/devs of blitz can you please suggest them to add to the new Quick Command Wheel a "Thank you!" and a "Pull back" command?
if you removing the chat then please do the favor to add still some new quick commands instead of keeping the olds 🙏

[naive thorn]

I miss the reloading one

[open ridge]

Can i reload the tank manually? I want the feeling

[naive thorn]

If its a clipper tank then if ur on pc u can press C to reload the mag ,idk about mobile

[spring sapphire]

yes you can, watch the settings

[naive thorn]

Respect , i might take the same path as you my friend although i never got to achieve everything i wanted , blitz was more fun in 2015

[novel bison]

That modded skin, does it show where the modules are located? 🤔

[open ridge]

Blitz its just nice, even if they are fun tanks or skins.. what matter is the skills.. i like doing a lot of damage!! The game its just nice and well done. Nice and short battles for everyone that need to go or have less time to play.

[gusty plover]

Thanks for posting the video. It's bringing back good memories. Have a good one 🙂

[edgy pewter]

A mod that showed that would give a gameplay advantage and wouldn’t be legal. You can see where the modules are in many tanks on WotInspector.com

[split fog]

Any chance there are plans to add a French medium line in the tech tree?

[final radish]

If ur talking bout the 30b its a collector unfortunately

[autumn totem]

there are plenty of other French medium tanks WG could add.

[split fog]

[jovial fable]

A few years ago WG deleted a lot of tanks. And now, there're a lot of other tanks. So that's why I ask me: Why deleted WG these tanks? I really like these tanks back.

[final radish]

Yeah but i am assuming the person involved is talking about wot pc tech tree tanks to be added in blitz and if thats the case 30b is the only thing that fits the description.

@jovial fable are you talking about the low tier changes ?

[split fog]

@autumn totem agree many other French meds that could be added into tech tree.

[autumn totem]

Actually the AMX-30b got removed from the PC tech tree.

@final radish list of French mediums

-AMX 30t & prototypes
-AMX 50t
-Lorraine 40t
-Fcm 50t
-Some ugly Somua
-leclerc prototypes
-m47 revalorisé
-AMX 32t
-AMX 40t

I could also make some napkin designs if need be. I personally would love to see à 140/142mm gun French tank.

[final radish]

Yeah it got turned to collector but the other pc mt is the batchat and well the batchat is there in game so logically i can rlly only think of the 30b line since in blitz its a rather rare collector

[split fog]

AMX 32, AMX 40

[split fog]

So the only tanks you can add are the ones that exist in the pc game?

[final radish]

Not quite they will add any tank once they figure out a niche for the tank inside the game. The only exceptions i think is modern tanks

[autumn totem]

It's not even modern, it's just no smoothbores and no composite armour.

[final radish]

I know the tanks u mentioned is from cold war era im saying if they are adding a tank they would first find a niche for it and as long as its not modern they will add it

[split fog]

No smoothbores? Mmm. Well then you couldn’t add the series 1 leclerc I suppose.

[languid cape]

If WG would simply chastise those who wish to call names and use vulgar language by removing gold or credits or both, for each violation, and if it keeps happening, remove them from the game.

[rustic lintel]

It only happens if people submit tickets to support

[frank copper]

anyone else noticing huge server side input lag?
30 ping 0 loss but the tank takes about 250 MS to start moving
(idk where to write it as i dont find anymore the technical issues channel)

[tawdry sorrel]

Idk if it’s related to what uve said

[marble canopy]

cant log-in prior to that on a match my shells are missing and get delayed at 6 meters away

[barren wharf]

The game just became a joke. Today games were camper paradise. Without chat you can't even motivate campers to move, or at least call out to team to report them so they get at least a warning and improve their gameplay. Now you get heavy tanks camping at TD spots damaging the frontline strength and the TD action and all you can do is wait for a 7-0 defeat. A lot of times players calling out a camper would make it to move and be active helping team. Now it's impossible. Honestly I never came so close to uninstall the game. And in 2023 WOTB still doesn't have a basic translator to the clan chat making it impossible to understand 90% of the clan chat that is now in Cyrllic.

[cursive zenith]

And the chat has been disabled for the training rooms. Great, amazing…. Why didn’t you just remove the feature all together!

Every bloody time, every time wg makes a choice it seems to backfire. Honestly I’m disappointed in myself for trusting wg to do something kind. To do something that would benefit the community. I know I’m being very dramatic, but in the 7 years I played this game I have only seen it withering and falling. Yes there are things that have been improved, but there way too many things that are needed to make the game more enjoyable.

And I’ll probably get “corrected”by the fanatics that have been appointed as moderators. Yea but hey: if wg is making money selling us this sad excuse of a game it’s all fine I guess.

Even regular battles they didn’t even take the time to add extra commands! How lazy? Really if I putt in the same amount of effort wg is doing to “fix” the game, I would hate myself, I don’t even know if I could live with myself demm self

[sly light]

Ok I understand why battle chat gets removed but why in training battles we use those rooms to chitchat and relax yes there are toxic people over there as well but removing the entire chat shouldn’t be the only solution at least give us ability to chat in training rooms
@cursive zenith if they want their game to not die out they should
I agree game is turning into a nightmare

[cursive zenith]

Its no use. Wg doesn’t give a demm about the experience.
It’s always been this way. If they didn’t touch the game for the past 2 years I’m willing to bet that everyone would have been much happier

[tired hollow]

Well at least they didn't remove clan chat

[jolly star]

yet...

[shut thorn]

next update: we re removing clan chat

[lone orchid]

They didnt deleted these low tier tanks, they just made it collecable tanks if i am not mistaken.

[woeful spade]

To be fair that‘s not on WG. The problem is that battle chat is independent of modes (training, tournament, random, fun, etc.) so it‘s either all or nothing

Anyways, compulsory appeal to WG to revert their decision to disable the chat

[crystal flame]

No battle chat is freaking horrible

[crisp island]

If people have no chat, they are going to be forced to use their brains, which will be horrible

[cursive zenith]

It makes you wonder: is there no oversight on all the wg choices?! My god if was working for this company and saw how much people hated it, I would be scared shitless for losing my job.

[surreal wharf]

Hey again, hope all is well. Hopefully, they will be fixing something on the training room chat like a command in the system. Also, they should be working on commands as well (how long who knows but at most 2 weeks). Agreed tho, 8+ years and it has had some ups but quite a lot of downs.

[barren wharf]

LOL. The brains to have a heavy camping all game in TD spot and you can't either called them out or ask for a report and lose 7-0? Or in a previous game today half the team just stood on spawn looking at each other not knowing where to go and I couldn't write a left/right or <<< >>>? Still used the minimap to point an area but it was useless. Guess what, another big defeat. This will make the quality the game drop even further since a lot of players depend on directions on beginning of game.

[sly light]

Multiplayer game without a chat that’s a new concept

[indigo mirage]

The big concept is a team game where u can’t communicate with the team

[fallow karma]

Time to playing other games 👍

[crystal flame]

i think i will keep my money in my pocket from now on, worst dessission ever, no chat.

[white berry]

RIP chat europe 2014-2023 😭

[flint rock]

Only place where u cant complain about a heavy camping, is a kv2 on here. Change my mind.

[sly basin]

yk i can honestly imagine the new “chat mechanics” not being worth the wait

[cursive zenith]

Yes, they will have to beg us to come back after this

[crystal flame]

they dont even want us to chat here, with the 15minute slow modus. #devs please lower the time on the slow modes, 15 minutes is crazy

[sly oak]

Where is Tornvagn? Thanks!

[swift gale]

True, a Multiplayer game without any communication to the Team itself is a pain,

Not everyone using Discord or some sort of voice thingy

Many many, Tournament's are using the battle chat to communicate,

Battle chat, not only everyone using the chat to say bad word's to eachother....

Training Room Battle chats are goes the same, many rooms are like a smaller community in the game.

Ik how pain is watching the chat logs and seeing toxicity over the game, but disable the chat everywhere is not the right thing to do.

Time to Play other games.

[sly light]

Thank you wg for giving us another reason to not play ur game because of some people you just decided to ruin every Eu players game experience we can’t communicate with each other now it’s just a multi single player game

[crimson shale]

Bro they actually did remove chat from training rooms????? Wg what the hell are you doing 😦

[gusty plover]

Ye, first game after chat removal: I'm in tier 9 italian TD, whole team on C in Middleburg up but our bat-chat refused to spot so our team could't shot the enemy coming out of town and we got torn apart. Why can't I tell that Batchat has to spot? You really feel helpless :((

[barren wharf]

On that exact same map, today I had a Tiger I camping in the top left. Not only did it not help frontline it also messed with the game of the 2 TD's that went there, damaging their movement and aiming. And this was against tier 6 so there was no reason the Tiger I wasn't frontline. If it was against tier 8 I would understand a more cautions game, but against tier 6? And because of no chat I couldn't even call him to help, threaten with a report or call team to report it so he could make the decision to move. Using the Help and Attack calls were 100% ineffective. KV-2 is a different tank and can almost be played like a TD because it has 20 sec reload and horrible aim time.

[final radish]

I am sorry but any competent tournament team should use voice chat otherwise the team is just bad i never understand the point of using in game battle chat in tournaments. but yeah your other points is correct, unfortunately due to real world circumstances its also understandable wg need to do this. its temporary thankfully as once they figured something out like seperating the eu clusters as the new quick commands and chat removal is only temporary solution and cant be a long term one.

[crystal flame]

i have played this game almost from the start, but im seriouslly thinking of quiting the game now

[solemn raven]

It's ok to remove the chat in a random house, the reasons are clear, but to remove the chat in the training rooms, where people relax, chat, have fun, this is already absurd. What's next? Deleting the clan chat?

[verbal thistle]

yes

[spring sapphire]

Deleting the game cause I'm toxic

[crimson shale]

Wg messed up by removing it from rooms

[compact yacht]

I Like the removal of Battle Chat, only the Training room Chat was kinda disappointing

[worldly badge]

Now the game is just unplayable solo everyone now does there own thing and dies with the chat yu could atleast tell them what to do but now all the strategy is just gone

[cursive zenith]

I think the only way wg is going to listen to us if we stop playing the game. Or we could all write a review telling people not to play the game and such!

[sly light]

Ahhh I’m not the only one considering about deleting the game

[gusty plover]

our clan leader said today that he is now leaving the game after 7 years because of this

[verbal thistle]

they will add chat back soon (as they did before with chat)

[carmine helm]

I just typed a paragraph of words like some people above and the 183 Bot removed it and accused me of spamming! The censorship in here is ridiculous. All I said was that there is no joy or enjoyment left now chat has gone. As a solo player you are lucky if you get one other competent player on your team. You can’t even indicate left or right with the < or > buttons, and it doesn’t matter how much you mash the map buttons no one pays any attention to that, and never has.
There’s no two ways about it, the migration of CIS onto EU has had a serious impact on the quality of the game and this decision to remove chat is a further deterioration. It’s like going to the pub and drinking alcohol free beer, what’s the point! 🤪

[proud gazelle]

i couldnt say hi to a friend in same team or even write gg after after battle.
also not being able to tell team where enemy is costed us three games already. whats the point of playing? i go to warthunder. better matchmaking, and actually functioning chat.

imagine having other options where to play and staying at the game which removes functions as chat. easy and quick deciding.

[cursive zenith]

One day they will look back on the mistakes they made, and point this moment of time. If not a year ago when they needed to include RU server in the EU server ruining life

[peak birch]

they disabled general chats :=(

[worldly badge]

Well now they just forced me to delete the game lmao

But might be better for my mental health so

[swift gale]

Prob WG will doesn't listen all of us, bcuz they're already made they decision... Wich is bring the game even more deeper in the sinkhole where's already started to sink.

They need to implement a new chat auto moderation system, or hire more in-game moderator... To maintain the chat.

But removing a chat as a "good" feature is, not good.

Just think on it for a second:

And you as a game dev just remove the chat bcz it costs server resources like RAM and CPU. 

And now? The next step is ignoring all the player's you had crying bcuz you broke the line.

Who doesn't has Discord, messenger, etc now cannot communicate.```

And they will eventually will look for another game to play, and you will lost a big % of the revenue and your players

I understand that you has toxic player's like every game has wich is multiplayer, 
They just implemented a new chat censor and hired more moderator.

But none of other game devs doing remove thier chat bcuz they knowing the chat is an important feature in an online game.

And you doing the opposite and removed the chat from an online game,
You already going so far with other things... You already started killing your own game... And you now just stabbed again with not one and not two machetes.

You need to think what is the right thing not only for you and for your server machines, you need to think even your community you build up, even asking them what should you do.

(and yes this message is may be ignored but I can't do much more)

[stone current]

Yeah cuz people listen when you tell them to move

[crystal flame]

sometimes yes,

[dense pecan]

It’s funny how I knew this would happen, it’s amazing that wg doesn’t listen despite degrading the game’s functionality.

[cyan tundra]

Do not spam "free the chat" image. It does nothing but flood the channel and will not change Wargamings decision if you just spam this image.

Thanks

^ This is a reference to the multiple users that sent the image after the first user did which messages I deleted

[rustic lintel]

You mean the easiest map to guess where to go?😂

[cursive zenith]

Considering they don’t listen to our well structured arguments. I would respectfully disagree.

[rustic lintel]

Every map has a meta to it’s play style where most people go to predictable arguments

[rustic lintel]

Oh did you expect them to change their minds over night? Not very realistic of you

[swift gale]

WG will just laughs on us 🙂

[gritty gate]

Rip chat, today was the last, you will forever not be missed on my part 😂😂

[latent sphinx]

They had just could made a setting were you can turn Chat off that you cant See or use it anymore! But no just kill the complete Chat for everyone. Bec there are few out that dont like the Chat but there are aswell others that like it! I feel like i am a guy that plays on the switch. Come on wg i still likeed the Chat and it was needed!

[rustic lintel]

If it was only a few, they wouldn’t have done anything. You know, like on Asia and Na

[worldly badge]

There was a setting to turn off the chat before but ofc they had to remove entire chat now imagine if they could actually think for like 10sec

[jolly star]

Yeah, true. But first we on the EU server get some extra players with other skills added as a bonus. Then they flood the chat with something I cant/ wont and 99% of the time dont want too understand. Cause it contains, threats, abuse, or pro-whatever. Then it gets disabled completely, so thats something that the players on the EU server cant do anything about but we get just more "Bonusses" after adding RU server....

[woeful spade]

Literally go to the search function and search for the terms „remove chat“ before they made their announcement (so before 22 of February).

You will find that most is complaining about WG removing the global chat (in the garage) andWG introducing the 10 character limit (gg on that one, too). There are just very few voices for removing chat and even then they are less than the voices questioning such an appeal (and half of those asking for chat to be removed did so in a sarcastic manner aka „if you neuter the chat with the ten character limit you might as well remove it entirely“)

I think it‘s beyond any doubt that nobody (except for a negligibly few extreme positions) asked for the removal of the chat. It‘s just Wargaming‘s inability to understand the player base and their issues

[rustic lintel]

Right in the middle of that is exactly why it’s gone

[latent sphinx]

I know but its still be a better idea then to kill it. I would like if you guys think about it agian i say it polite bec i still want the Chat i dont Spam or anything but there is Still an other way With just make it a setting thst everybody can turn on or off. Bec my Clan Avalon needs the Chat for Our Training rooms an our combat System with our own combinations. I would like if wargaming sees this and think over this idea i know thst the EU Server Chat was messed up but few others still need it. So please think over it agian and if you hav an answer ping or DM if you like that idea or not if this could be an opionion in the nect Update thst will come. So pls let it go in your head an Thing of it.

[rustic lintel]

You know I was watching this like you for what, 5+ months? No one ever actually posts solutions, they post complaints. Most had one thing in common and that was that the chat was illegible and awful. So wg took the easiest possible route and removed it entirely

[swift gale]

Not for the animals and the dating stuff, for the normal community's, fun rooms, etc....

[rustic lintel]

If your team is training and using team chat, you’re holding back your own potential by not using discord voice chat

[rustic lintel]

For all the animal and dating rooms?🥴

[rustic lintel]

What wg needs to actually do is go back 6 months and choose to create a new server instead of merge eu/ru sadly

[gusty plover]

Imho WG took the lazy route by removing the chat

[rustic lintel]

Wg is predictable when they make decisions and it usually follows two things. Is it easy to do and quick to implement?

Think how much harder it would be for a chat filter. How much more expensive it would be to set up completely new servers. Of course they didn’t start with either of those

Could things go there next? Absolutely

[lucid socket]

How much more money does WG need to squeeze out of us before they will listen to their costumers?

[oak moon]

I would understand, if the game wasnt producing money or company was loosing month to month basis, but i am more than sure its not the case. So doesnt make sense not to invest in project, to get a greater return in future, from a better product

[rustic lintel]

Why listen if the consumer stays?

[jolly star]

Yeah, my point exactly. First we get "punished' with a lot of extra players with different/ skill/ mindset and then we get another hangover when the EU chat gets closed because of the crap a lot of newly added players to EU server do/ add, whatever u wanna call it. _Verstappen [Pramo]: What wg needs to actually do is go back 6 months and choose to create a new server instead of merge eu/ru sadly. That the ONLY solution.They had the server cause they merged them now.... "they don't stay", al lot of players still play but they dont buy crates and other stuff anymore. Cause the enjoyment went down a lot.

[mortal umbra]

I don't have good device,when I play wotb on my laptop it usually gives 55 fps on lowest graphics,when I open discord my fps drops down to 40-30 because of this I have to use my phone to communicate

[swift gale]

_Verstappen what he/she saying it's has many potentials but WG will not doing backwards 6 months to re-think what they do and what the exact consequence after all.

WoTB servers are way to expensive so a complete new chat filter not an option.

Removing Random battle chats are understandable and good.

Removing tournaments chat is what i didn't know much.

Training room chats are commonly used by everyone, just think on smth

If, there's no other chat only the rooms, moderators are can focus on the room chats, and rooms itself...

So they can punish those toxic and disgusting rooms, but there's other stuff

Like, Fun room, chill rooms, and Youtuber hosted rooms where you can chat and hangout....

[gusty plover]

[dawn wharf]

Removing battle chat was a really bad idea. To get rid of toxicity, far less extreme measures could have been taken:

1. disable chat for dead players
2. exponentially longer chat bans for offenses (1d, 1w, 1m, permanent)
3. turn off red-chat by default
   Chat is also about engagement. Now it really feels like playing with computer bots. Completely different feeling. I think the only reason for removing the chat from EU server only is that RU players demanded “a safe space” from “Slava Ukraine” messages that distorts their worldview.

[harsh hornet]

It's such a joke... Enable new players to get to T10 in under 1k games. Or better, just to buy a T10 tank. Mix up Servers with total different languages and even writing. Have more and more 30-40% players. Wonder why the game is getting more and more toxic. Solution: remove chat! 💡🤓

[elfin plinth]

goodbye WOTB - I played for >7 years and it was once a nice game, now it´s time to leave. Removing the chat abilitity, instead of moving the cyrilic players to their own servers leaves the game in a very bad situation. And this was only the last move in the wrong direction (anyone remembering WG stealing all tank equipment without compensation, promising never to bring a premium tank which is >T8 and better than tech tree tanks or stealing all nice low tier tanks and removing all abilities of low tier tanks, making them all the same, moving tanks from premium status to ) You might have heard the voices of so called "community leaders", who said it is a good decision, but they are simply wrong here. These guys are well connected to each other, know every aspect of the game and are in constant communication with WG ... and they have no clue to play as a usual player, who is quite new to this game (I hosted a new player clan for >6 years). - WOTB is simply going in the wrong direction, cya all - it was a nice time

[white berry]

Bring back battle chat| Day 1

[gusty plover]

o7 Genosse. I recognize your nickname from the General Chat in the Garage. It was removed 1 year ago and things have changed massively since then. Have a good one mate 👍 Und nicht vergessen: man sieht sich immer zweimal im Leben 🙂 (in english: you always meet twice)

[proud void]

Don't bring back battle CHAT| Day1

[spring sapphire]

that is offensive.

[gusty plover]

I hope you know that the chat disabling button was always at your disposal in the settings good sir 🙂

[cold grove]

👴 👍 Genius

[sly oak]

This, this and this again.

[rustic lintel]

Anyone who’s offended by that shouldn’t be playing wotb. They can go download tinder

[white berry]

Next update prob tier 11, pay €3 a month to use chat+ €99 for tier 11

[rustic lintel]

Tier 11s that aren’t on pc?🤔

[spring sapphire]

calling all fun room players daters? do you even know what a fun room is? or you just like to offend people randomly?

[foggy rune]

I have same feelings, and after 8 years enjoying Wot Blitz i stop playing. Will come back when cyrillic players have a separate server.

[cursive zenith]

Why bother talk here?
They ain’t listen

[rustic lintel]

Considering half of the dating rooms are called “sex” rooms it’s pretty disgusting and has absolutely no place in this game. What a bizarre thing to defend

[rustic lintel]

When has wg reversed a decision quickly?

[rustic lintel]

What a funny reason to leave when the only language left is silence

[gusty plover]

Yeah, no point in discussing this here. 15 minute timeout makes it impossible. Good job WG

[rustic lintel]

The time is meant to create longer responses for elaboration and constructive criticism. Not gut emotional insults

[sly oak]

What the heck? Sex rooms in blitz? This game is like a high security male prison, female are rare as prison guards. Do they fornicate with tanks?

[rustic lintel]

I don’t even want to go into it. They do exist which is disturbing

[white berry]

After i get wz121 i will prob quit

[rustic orbit]

Honestly, there shouldn't be that much freedom when naming a training room.

or you get whatever those kinds of rooms are.

[final radish]

Ngl your first point is terrible good players tend to help more after they died assuming they werent the toxic ones

@spring sapphire Verstappen meant the dating rooms which lets be honest why ?? just why does things like that exist in a game like this ???

Honestly though best we can hope atm is just wg to quickly set up another cluster as of at the moment EU players needs to chill for a bit as it is already mentioned it will be temporary untill the solution has been set. Its rather unfortunate but cant be helped as it took time to setup clusters or regions

@sly oak catfish and well people with lets say horrible morals exist and they reside in those questionable rooms

[rustic lintel]

It’s a completely separate problem but it should have been taken care of 6 years ago and here we still are

[spring sapphire]

cmon you keep talk when you don't even know what a FUN ROOM is, see? now let's ban you cause you offended 95% of fun room players. and well since you are a moderator you support pedofilia, like where is the logic here, @sly oak , @final radish it's just that @rustic lintel doesn't even know what a fun room is, dating rooms those are VERY DIFFERENT from FUN ROOMS

[rustic lintel]

Fun is relative but I guess that’s a foreign concept

Clearly there’s nothing wrong with runners vs rammers, blind shots, historic battles, ego 1v1s etc

But the animal/dating room garbage needs to go

[dawn wharf]

99.9% of messages from dead players is plain abuse and insults. Their death is always someone else's fault.

[rustic lintel]

Bingo. I think dead players not being able to use the chat is a great idea

Plus if you’re on voice chat, dying is irrelevant so it works well for platoons that are actually working together

[proven gulch]

Watching my team, I sent "M60 LEFT" last night after I died. The M60 backed up when he saw it and looked left. Shell barely missed him. He went on to win the battle for our team. If I hadn't noticed he was about to be shot, we would have lost the game. Battle chat is important.

[rustic lintel]

That’s one example and if we are all being honest, that’s relatively rare

[cursive zenith]

Just give us thé training room chat back

[spring sapphire]

Nonono stop with the excuses, you called players like me that plays those fun rooms predators and perverts when in reality you don't even know what a fun room is, so if you don't know about something just don't talk about and don't offend who plays them, and you are the one toxic here.

[proud gazelle]

WG basically restricted my content. I sometimes used chat in videos, cause it can be funny when enemy reacts to two ammoracks in a row. welp, what to say. Im finding more and more disadvantages.

[final radish]

Key word Good players unfortunately players like those rarely exist. while i get where you came from i would have to disagree with that suggestion, maybe if wg have resources they could implement a feature where they will give everyone 3 strikes of toxic communication if they got 3 strikes or more their ability to chat in game after death will be revoked or just their in game ability to chat completely revoked. although idk how much does it take to develop a system like this.

@spring sapphire Dude ngl u should rlly read sentences completely, man never mention anything about normal fun rooms. read the chat history he replies to someone who mentioned animals and dating room

[solemn raven]

What I don’t understand is why chat in the training rooms bothered you? I realized even in ordinary battles, there is a lot of toxicity, but in training ones .. People just have fun, communicate, get to know each other. No, you need to clean it up there too.

[rustic lintel]

Excuse me what. Where did I say anything of the sort?

[dawn wharf]

I think that would work too and I agree cases exists when you really get some help. I also agree it should not be that hard to implement a "toxicity filter". Twitter nowadays has such. It warns that people may find your message insulting/etc. but let's you post. Sometimes it gets the language wrong, but I believe some much more could be done with automatically filtering out toxic messages AND issuing chat bans. That would be more work for WG, but I think it would result a better system. The problem is that it can be hard to deal with multiple languages and mis-categorized messages could lead to injustice with chat bans.

[feral flicker]

Yeah i would like the trainig room chat back too

[white berry]

Tournaments will be hell

[rustic lintel]

Anyone using team chat for tournaments isn’t going far anyways. Doesn’t make a difference

[gusty plover]

You're concern about injustice could be dealt with. You just have to implement the right to appeal by creating a support ticket.

[worldly badge]

Why can't wg just do the chat back and give everyone an option to disable it so that people who can't handle it can just disable chat

And if it was ingame already than if you couldn't handle toxicity why didn't they just turn it off than

[cursive zenith]

I fully endorse this message , and agree with it one hundred procent

[rain crypt]

well because thats been an option for years
and its been in the game for years

[rustic lintel]

And if this had worked, eu would have a chat still

[crystal pasture]

agreed

[final radish]

Most people cant read unfortunately so most of the time they wont disable it anyway and still complain so I think that bit just gonna straight up waste everyones time. plus from what i read happening it seems to be too big of a problem while removing chat is a bad move i think they dont have much choice as other solutions takes longer time to implement considering whats happening seems to be on quite a massive level since i see alot of complains of chat war or battle ending in 2 mins.

@white berry I will never understand the point of using battle chat in tournament battles as its standard to be using discord or other vc for faster communications. in random battles i get but other than that those teams will get wiped fast by vc coordinated teams

[warm socket]

and so people instead of turning it off, some people found it more fun to wine? Speaking about intelligence of some people

[rustic lintel]

Another thing the 30-40%ers have caused? What a ridiculous stretch😂

[ashen canyon]

I dont think chat is disabled bcs reaction to toxic players, it is because EU playerbase is disturbed of Russian/Ukrainian only chat in EU. We feel like we don't play in EU server anymore. 99% of chat is in an alphabet we can't even read. This brings reaction to non-English speaking players in EU server and to WG. I dont know if removing the chat is the way to fix it but that's the main problem for you there.

[gusty plover]

There are a lot of different options as Mr. Jylpah above already stated. You can make the chat turned off as the default setup, you can enforce the rules much more strictly and you can disable chat for dead people or the enemy team so you can only see chat from living players of your team. Toxicity is part of the game already since a few years and WG had enough time to think about it. Yet WG takes the lazy route once again

[heavy peak]

Is game working? I got totall gras cant connect

[solemn raven]

just bring chat back to training rooms

[exotic kernel]

really?
this chat was the most important thing to coordinate the team, now its frutrating "positiv" "negativ" which says NOTHING
furthermore, the toon intaeraction is not functional, my toonmate see my messages but i see nothing from him - TRASH
better they made a cyrillic filter. thats it

[willow rivet]

There appear to be technical issues again, staff has been notified.

[faint spindle]

@dawn wharf This is the most sensible approach. And yes... original EU Server players are quite fed up with being bombarded with cyrillic characters from 40% players in red and green.

[slim barn]

Even the server refuses to play blitz without chat.

[rustic lintel]

What is this claim based on?

[molten pewter]

It's a joke

[harsh hornet]

True...

[final radish]

I agree their approach is bad but system like those still requires coding and bug testing so even if they added that it will take a bit longer so for now removing chat is the fastest way possible while its a bad solution it should be temporary. multiple ppl alr suggested new clusters as permanent solutions so i hope wg will spend that time developing that

[buoyant drift]

I cant reconect to server

[gusty plover]

Yes, your suggestions are very good

[proud gazelle]

Unpopular, seems true though.

WG mess up
player sad
player no play
player leave completely
player happy
WG no money
WG sad
Another nail into the coffin? We'll see soon. Now, we have our space to do something.
Let's not waste it and go on a strike.
Let's enter battles but not play.
Let's make a month - No Buy March. Let's not buy a single thing from WG for a month. Only free containers/missions.

[true wadi]

I hope they will do it before my order will end... I need 4 #1 or master

[ashen canyon]

Question is would banning cyrillic alphabet instead of removing whole chat prevent non-sense spam in favor of EU players? I dont even know what those people talk about, i realized chat wasnt this much active and misused so much before merge of RU server. OFC there were toxicity and people who misuse before too but at least i could understand what's going on. Now chat is totally alien to me.

[steep bane]

EU server needs more clusters

[tawdry sorrel]

They are trying to kill the EU server somehow

[final radish]

This

[frank glade]

@cedar oasis @echo crater @paper crest @hexed panther

Wargaming needs to stop creating biased & unfair MM, where 6 enemies WR above 50% (1 at 68.81%) & 7th has 49.67%.

If I consider my team, expect me all my teammates WR was below 50%.

It's like already fixed battle, where you just enter to fill the 7th place in your team, get defeated & waste your few minutes.

MM depending upon Tank Type merely matters nowadays.

It's the experience & profile stats of players which matters most of the time & decide the outcome of majority of the battles.

I am not saying this because I got the bad team. Sometimes I also get the good team & enemy get bad team. But this should be stopped & MM must be fair.

Otherwise players will lose interest in the game & eventually active player base will get decreased. It's already less on APAC, if compared to NA & EU.

[slim barn]

Faulty logic. Yours?

[true wadi]

Do you guys want to prohibit people to speak the language they want? I can't write in my native Tatar anyway.... Although I can't write at all right now. I already gave 1 star just because there was censorship in the game, imagine my face this morning.

Just y'know, EU contains many nations and even some part of people from russia wanna be part of EU-server like me. If u will totally close it for us, I will abandon game at all.

But I think 7-player-team might be a solution for some part of EU-server players. I don't really understand why there are only 2-player-team allowed...

Also sometimes u can ask to repeat in English, and if there was information for all team, we might answer u in English ;).

(Also why we need censor in this game? Many games dont have it aswell...)

[rustic lintel]

I copy most people here and just make it up to fit my narrative

[undone pelican]

oh look another person fresh outta BMM and complaining

clearly WG must be biased and are giving you trash teams so you lose

funny because you win more in your 30d, as well as your average damage and other stats actually being quite fine

weird how the wotb player always like to point out the negative instead of looking at the positive when it comes to MM

MM is random. when was random ever fair?

[rustic lintel]

If you want to pick the 7 people on your team, try #tourneys-discussion

[solemn raven]

just bring chat back to training rooms

[junior glen]

Don’t hesitate to put the chat live back too
Poor EU server, Now it’s a RU server without any possibility to use real stratégie

[dreamy storm]

I believe that ‘’lol no’’ is the answer you are looking for

End does make a point though💀

[rain crypt]

half the playerbase doesnt have to change much then it seems 😂

[cyan tundra]

Criticism of weegees decision to remove chat is fine.
What is not okay is telling people to intentionally throw games or break game rules in protest of chat being removed. Lets not do that, thanks gamers

[tidal sundial]

we just go on strike 🤓 (i'm joking don't ban me please)

[undone pelican]

personal thoughts about this:

both the playerbase and WG are at fault for this situation

hear me out, EU playerbase gets mad and angry because people use cyrillic, despite many different languages existing in EU. Instead of trying to be less toxic and more accepting, EU playerbase kicks off over "stupid russians ruining games"

WG sees this, but instead of turning off chat for all players and giving them the ability to turn it back on, they dont, which is due to the fact that people would still complain even with a chat toggle (somehow)

yes, WG could have handled the merge better
yes, WG could have made chat disabled by default and toggleable

however:

the playerbase could've tried to be better people
the playerbase could've tried realising that everyone in this game is here to play funni pixel tonk game

[digital aspen]

well said

[sly light]

They haven’t closed this chat surprising isn’t it 😂

[quiet quiver]

Toxicity apart, chat was actually useful sometimes. People that did not instantly rage because they have a "bad" team could ask certain players to go at a position and sometimes they'll actually listen
We can go on and on about how else this could've been handled by wargaming but the amount of toxicity shouldn't hide that chat could be and sometimes is super useful so I am hoping they can come up with a working solution in the future to bring back chat. With hard or soft measures that is up to them

[rustic lintel]

Why would you get banned for boycotting?

So many people love making it sound like we censor people for having opinions where in reality if people follow the rules you can voice anything just fine as long as it’s constructive criticism

[tidal sundial]

it didn't mean that but ok

[proud gazelle]

funni pixel tonk game not fun, cannot say lol in global chat

[proven gulch]

DO YOU WANT TO BE HEARD?

Leaving the game, boycotting, being purposefully AFK is not smart. WG will not hear this.

If you really want to have your voice heard and to get chat back, here is how to do it.

Every battle you play has a cost for WG. The way these cloud/data servers work (very generalized) companies pay for CPU and egress (outbound traffic). So the bottom line is that you are costing money to WG when you battle.

WG offsets these costs and makes their profit by selling battle passes, gold, tanks, and by you watching ads for gold.

If you really want your voice heard to insist on getting battle chat back back:
CONTINUE TO PLAY but do NOT watch ads or buy anything until battle chat returns

If even 20% of you do this, the impact will be significant to their bottom line. Your voice will be heard.

[indigo flicker]

i've got a question tho, is the chat disabled even training rooms?🤔

[knotty sorrel]

Chat removal is an awful idea

[rustic lintel]

I believe so

[hallow arch]

Like that would make a diffrence😂

[woeful spade]

Ok look I am unhappy with the chat changes but I don‘t want to actively hurt WG for it (beyond the harm they naturally harvest with players leaving and not purchasing stuff anymore). I find it a bit malicious to purposely try and make them lose money

[proven gulch]

Agree with you there. I love the game, and my battle chat has not been removed (NA). I watched my ads this morning.

But for those trying to get their voices heard about the removal of battle chat, I offer a sound solution. Companies “think” in terms of money. Keep costs fixed and lower income by 20% and corporate will have heads rolling and the demanded changes will come very quickly.

[rustic lintel]

“The game is bad so let’s cut their funding so they can’t fix it for us. That’ll show them!”

[autumn totem]

That's so foolish, at the end of the day WG let's you play the game at its fullest potential without spending money of watching any ads. Abusing that is just foolish. WG could add ads to the game and they would make significantly more profit, but they don't.
WG is only removing chat because they think they are actually helping the community (however misguided that may be) they still actually care, otherwise they would take action or put as much effort into the game, as they do.
Ultimately you can't satisfy everyone and they do their best to satisfy everyone, however people are fickle and don't know what they want.

If profits drop 20%, I heavily doubt they would add chat back. I would bet they would reduce the amount of free stuff dramatically and increase the overall frequency of heavily wanted tanks in the store.

[tight pollen]

Can we use the Eu account for the test?

[proven gulch]

So there are 3 choices for EU players as I see it:

1. Live with the loss of battle chat and continue crying about it on discord
2. Leave the game
3. Get WG’s attention and demand it back

I offered a sound solution that has worked for hundreds of years. A consumer’s only leverage over a corporation is their wallet.

As for me, I buy the monthly battle pass not because I want the tanks or gold. I buy it to support the game I love. Frankly, I don’t want to see WG or Blitz hurt either.

However, sometimes consumers must have the guts stand up for what they want or need and demand to be heard. If they take away battle chat on NA (where it is useful and intelligently used most of the time), I would happily play for a month without watching ads, buying tanks, gold, or battle passes to let them know what I think of their mistake.

[livid sequoia]

Does it cost money to not remove chat?

[rustic lintel]

No. I don’t think it costs money either way for off and on. But alternatives may take effort and time

[rustic lintel]

Options 1 and 3 are pretty much the same lol

[sly light]

Now think in different perspectives if game devs starts to lose money, what will they do?
A) Put adv u must watch in time periods
B) Raise prices to the max
C) Make even more unbalanced prem and collector tanks
D) Shut down the game
So we will lose even more

[indigo flicker]

i'm just flabbergasted by wg removing the chat even in rooms... they could just temporarily remove global chat or put a few seconds of delay/"timeout" in my opinion... another thing is how the chat is actually used.. i have to give a point to wg saying that the chat was rarely used in the way it was supposed to be used (aka helping teammates by telling them the hp of an unspotted enemy when they need it or the enemy location, etc.) but then again.. in which game was the chat used correctly, right?

[quartz cliff]

not having ingame chat, even with kyrillic all over the place, is just not acceptable

[rustic lintel]

So you’re saying the chat wasn’t illegible?

[autumn totem]

The players exsist because of WG, WG literally created a market and a community from scratch. The game exsists solely because of WG. All those massive prototype tanks, nobody gave a thought about them. Prime example the musée de Saumur, nobody cared about the Batignolles-châtillion or the AMX-50 until WG added them to their games.

regardless WG dropped chat for political reasons, they don't want their chat to become a source of tension between Western European & Eastern European players, which is understandable.

[proud gazelle]

literally wrote that, im sorry for your blindness. "Let's make a month - No Buy March. Let's not buy a single thing from WG for a month. Only free containers/missions." in #news-discussion message

[full arch]

Why man dats how chimera was born xD

[indigo flicker]

i wouldn't really say nobody cared about those tanks, but oh well...

[cursive zenith]

My expression when wg took away the chat in rooms:

[lyric zinc]

The toxicity in chat is what is keeping this game alive like cod warzone.

[full arch]

I mean most toxic behaviours i seen is in Cyrillic....but thats because like 60% of thr team is Cyrillic.....

Honestly id keep complaining about the merge..but as things are..

We are now the issue..the Eu players why?

Because the RU people that join seem to outnumber us.
Idk about how many they are but i do see at least 4 people in my team in every game..so they certainly arent a few...

It was so bad that when i talked to chat i was genuinely suprised finding anyone that talked English.
Especially if he was a good dude i got a new friend 🐱

[autumn totem]

Before WOT, literally nobody. coming from a person who lived there. Literally nobody could have given less of a thought to them. They actually considered scrapping them.

[subtle saddle]

can we still chat on the NA server?, like during the battle? ok, thanks. I guess since russian players got moved to EU, there's been some hostilities over there. ALWAYS BEEN PLAYING ON NA SERVER XD

[indigo flicker]

i mean.. honestly that's what you eventually do with tanks that don't see any service and are just collecting dust because they might be outdated or have fallen out of favor and been replaced by other type tank.. think about it for a bit

[cyan tundra]

The chat removal is only on EU

NA and Asia are unaffected

[cursive zenith]

Cuss they messed up the eu server… but recognize that having chat in a multiplayer server is instrumental to having a good gaming experience

[frosty tendon]

I think it’s been made more of an issue than it is. More than likely they will bring the chat back at some point, this is just a minor inconvenience for EU players to deal with imo, especially given the state of that particular part of the world. Even though we still have our chat on NA, I rarely see it used for a purpose that quick commands couldn’t also fill.

[autumn totem]

So what if they don't see service? I don't see a reason not to preserve a one-off prototype. I mean yeah most tanks are scrapped, but by some manner of folly or luck AMX-50 somehow survived.

You realize it costs more to scrap a tank than to let it sit?

[indigo flicker]

i'm not talking about one tank exactly.. i mean it generally.. you can keep one of them, right, but the steel and stuff can be used/needed on something else

[torn lintel]

Put the chat back in the training room when you make train CW, and the admin of the room dont switch the spawn u need write in chat room "go garage" and for all fun room human vs zombie, minigames organised by community we need chat.

[gusty plover]

and in the battle

[winter hawk]

Awesome to play team based game, where you cannot communicate with our team... 🤦
Hopefull WG ads buttons to "lets go left" , "lets go right" and my favorite " PLZ look minimap" buttons...🤞

[full arch]

Man wg we need more camo like this
Historical or mad max style

[tawdry sorrel]

Bruh wth is this

[untold surge]

Since February is a short month do we have less time for the battlepass? I was only able to get premium today, and all my missions are done, but if it ends after tomorrow I may not have time to fill my vaults 😥

[odd flower]

removing chat has to be the dumbest decision ever, at least keep team chat

[surreal wharf]

Totally agree. And it should be set default as you can’t see any chat (so then people can’t complain as they would have had to change their settings to see chat)

[full arch]

For blitz app ..all it does it change the textures so plrettt nice and it doesn't affect other players.

[cursive zenith]

If wg spend as much time on making these frankly good looking camouflages , as trying to improve life on the server…. This game would be amazing

[odd flower]

not even platoon chat or chat in rooms work anymore, the only way to talk with anyone is in the garage or on other apps which isnt convenient at all, is there anyone at all that is happy about this change?

[rustic lintel]

Discord voice is extremely easy

[next oxide]

Discord is a "other app" and you're using it right now

[thorny forge]

i had to choose between buying the minotauro or the m-iv-yoh and my supid ass chosed minotauro cause im italian 😭

[odd flower]

so you assume everyone has all their friends in blitz added in discord and voice chats with them? as i said u can only talk in garage or other apps which is not convenient at all

[worldly badge]

Well good thing is cus all the teams are even more uncoordinated it's easier to win in toon lmao

So thx wg i guess

[next oxide]

Platoon chat still exists

[neat burrow]

Maybe someone know what game mode will be next?

[gusty plover]

Uprising is next game mode in this update. Mrs. Alexandra told me here on the discord server. I don't know the time but I hope this weekend. I hope i could help you 🙂

[odd flower]

Alexandra Matyush said 3 days ago that all chat will be disabled and not partially

[rustic lintel]

Where did I say that? Don’t jump to conclusions

[rustic lintel]

You could tell them to download it in garage dms and then invite them to a server within like 5 minutes

[steep grove]

You were warned in WoT Blitz Official (ENG) for: name and shame (unjustified)

[echo maple]

Playing a Team based game and Not Being able to communicate with the team. Amazing. Instead of singeling out the toxic players and banning them from Chat, WG punishes all players. Seriously, thats just another Level of cognitive inability.

[odd flower]

u said discord voice is extremely easy

[quaint cipher]

alexandre2299#2299 has been warned.

[torn lintel]

You're ennemy doesnt have chat too, I agree we need chat, but dont take this useless example pls

[worldly badge]

Wg just needs to find a better solution wich they are working on so it will be back and cus every team is kinda lost rn just go in toon and you could still win

[true wadi]

Smth wrong with server again?

[sage willow]

We need the chat back! Its a dumb thing to remove it. You should add a better censor to the chat, but dont remove! A lot of people used chat in training rooms to have FUN. The biggest issue was the CIS players. They didnt cooperate at all and they dont speak any english. At least give back chat in training rooms, thats the bare minimum.

[echo maple]

Why Not just simply Chat ban the people that are toxic? If you Do that, whats left is the non toxic ones. Very simple. But WG does Not want to invest the effort into making their game better. No, they take the lazy Route and ban everyone instead.

Apparently it was too much hazzle for WG to keep the old ticket System up. Now its too much hazzle to keep the in game report System up.

(also i dont want to fuel crazy Theories, so i would ask WG to Release their data on this, but i dont think its a crazy coincidence that after CIS Server was Shut down and EU Server had a crazy influx of players from over there, suddenly the in game chat has become too toxic. And i Dont think its just the New Players on EU Being toxic, but also the old ones Being toxic towards the New ones bc WG handled the server merge, the info about it, explaining what is happening, etc, they handled it like they handle this chat issue. With absolutely no sense of what the players actually want.)

[gusty plover]

Ye, agreed. WoT Blitz was as a Multiplayer Game always a social game to me and many others. For me it lost now the most part of its socialness by removing the General Chat in the Garage one year ago and now by removing the battle chat

[dire barn]

wg:we too lazy to ban them, whatever they make us money anyways

[shadow blaze]

Russians and Ukrainians are on the EU server. I guess that's the reason.

[rustic lintel]

I did. Where did “I assume everyone has all their friends in blitz added in discord…”

[old path]

so another cool thing wg has removed communication with the team in battle

[frail jasper]

without battle chat blitz is just another boring tank game

[worldly badge]

Even if you have Ur frens on dc it's kinda frustrating not being able to tell teammates to come with you or say that they have to use he when someone has 1 hp

[old path]

Who knows why they shut down the chat...

[cursive zenith]

Eh there is nothing they will change for the better.

[rustic lintel]

We aren’t going to discuss politics here

[woeful spade]

Yeah lowkey I‘d like to know why it is now necessary to pull this on EU. Upon reflecting I can‘t say that EU was just constant toxic chatting. I‘d like to know what necessitated the removal now when all the toxicity was ok for years (and apparently still is on the other servers)

And my opinion is that the toxicity is ok. That‘s what you get with a competitive game

[naive thorn]

Its just to stop the ukranians and russians fighting and being toxic probably , since the toxicity was acceptable "unofficially"

[iron ember]

The question was about chat managing on exCIS with those “fighting” russian and ukrainian players, about which guy in upper comment wrote. But if you say it’s politics…😂 Ok

[barren wharf]

The only thing I have to say to the (insert insult here) people that claim that the chat isn't used to talk strategy, I dare them to play the garbage games happening now. Without the chance to call sides, give indications to heavies or meds to go a certain side and other tips the game regressed to clueless players making all mistakes possible. And the lack of translator at least on clan chat made me lose two good members today because the chat is 99% Cyrillic. Good job WG you have made a great step to make divisions even bigger, stimulate hate between nations and create conditions for clans to be little apartheid of nations.

[noble crystal]

If I had to guess I'd say that it's not WGs choice, someone who has a little bit of power over them (in thinking something like steam, Google play or maybe even the age rating places) has had a load of complaints since the server merge and they've told WG to do something about it. It doesn't seem like it's a decision WG made willingly and thoughtfully, more of a "we have to meet this deadline and show some change quickly" reaction.

This isn't based on anything at all, just pure speculation off what I think WG would do.

[cursive zenith]

Its like they don’t think things true, and just try to fix something if it’s broken

[digital wyvern]

👍

[warm garden]

Switching off in battle chat was brilliant idea, this will definitely hide a problem with merging CIS . Well done , WG shooting own fot again, just wonderful.

[fossil coyote]

Recommend me the best tank you have 😉👍👀?!

[woeful spade]

Hey, I want to recommend you the best tank I have! It‘s amazing, and I‘m sure you‘ll enjoy it

[crimson shale]

the mods dont even know what they talking about

[waxen dirge]

But where now too rage when chat ist off? xD

[magic tree]

I am quoting from this: https://worldoftanks.eu/en/news/general-news/wot-operations-update-no-2/ "We will create new EU servers (EU3 & EU4) for transferred players to ease the transfer process, make it more comfortable, and avoid disruptions to the live game for both new and existing EU players. For now, transferred players will not be able to select EU1 or EU2 as a server option, while existing players will not be able to access EU3 or EU4."

What will change for me as a current player in the EU region?
Nothing, as previously stated, transferred players will not be able to directly play with current EU players.

So.... what happened to that? edit: oh It's WoT not Blitz 😦

[naive thorn]

And did this come to fruition?

[woeful spade]

It did. It‘s just WoT (PC) and not Blitz

Oh yeah and that‘s why the merge/ transfer didn‘t cause a huge fuss on PC

[eternal elm]

Just signed off the game, after the first day of Eu server chat ban. Game is sh*t, you can't tell your team the others are flanking, can't even warn them that points are critical in supremacy. I am not buying next months battle pass after more than a year and I will reduce time played. Combined with the extremely high prices in euros compared to dollar prices, there is such a disturbing discrimination against the European players right now. I am really pissed

[vivid ravine]

Add Ebr 105, double the size of maps and make 8 players each team 😂

[naive thorn]

Its basically like a permanent chatban but for everyone , it sucks bad

[magic tree]

Is anyone else in EU leaving games after dying with 0 interest in game outcome anymore? I have stopped using reactions and even checking post-screen battles. I've forgotten to report AFK players after the 15 minutes have passed and I can't report anymore too. It's affecting the game negatively in more ways than I thought... ugh. this is awful

[sly wave]

What is wrong with the asian server? I can’t log in

[hushed warren]

Maybe shutdown for update?

[hard quest]

anyone cant log in the asian server today??? or just me??

[toxic umbra]

I cant log in APAC server too... 😦

In my opinion, this is just life. Some will use things the way they were meant to, being helpful, communicating strategically. Others will abuse it and be morons. Happens all the time. Get the morons to stop and the sensible people will prevail.

[compact yacht]

Being toxic is fun?💀

@gusty plover Most Players behave Like Clowns, thats litterally why the Chat was turned off

[gusty plover]

I think WG should enable the chat again because it is unfair for the most players. Most players are behaving good in the game so pls consider it

[gusty plover]

The majority of the players don't break the rules. Stop saying it. It's insulting

[finite flare]

tbh it was fun to see the rage

[verbal thistle]

anyone cared about what these guys said anyways? xD

I don’t think you want to understand, if there even is something to understand about this

[tidal sundial]

yeah so you're gonna be toxic for the playerbase in the most competitive mode while your "target" is supposed to be wg

-> great move, big IQ

[hallow arch]

Imagine thinking you alone will cost WG money🤡
You can go somewhere else and cry on how unhappy you are

[sinful apex]

This move is just nothing else than ruining other’s game. WG wont be effected by such useless move like this y know

@gaunt lodge agreed

@dreamy storm agreed

[gaunt lodge]

@tidal sundial
After Reading his comments
I realised that he is the type of toxic players that made wg remove the chat

[dreamy storm]

’’Me being one obnoxious idiot purposely throwing games among some hundreds of thousands of players surely will heavily affect WG and force them to listen to my requests’’

My brother in Christ, the only thing you will achieve is to annoy your team mates, and eventually get reported enough to be punished by your intended target

[gaunt lodge]

@earnest roost
@mellow crater

[gusty plover]

Why do you want the chat to be removed? Everyone has the possibility to turn of chat in the settings if they are to sensitive. Is it only because WG has now this opinion and you want to be on their side??

[compact yacht]

The majority of Players are insulting, thats why it got removed. How is it insulting when WG themselves Said it as reasoning to remove the Chat lmao 😂

@finite flare sometimes

[kind raft]

Well one could ask, why is it still available on other servers then?

[tidal sundial]

Because the server merge only happened on EU, i don't think that's a coincidence

[weak eagle]

I'm going to link that Wall of Tank Blitz account to mobile, but how do I do it?

[mellow crater]

I'm glad that they finally started talking openly about the problem caused by the connection of the CIS and EU service... the influx of an incredible number of players who slowly turned the game into an unplayable one... the flood of alphabets was a battle after a battle... The team didn't cooperate at all, they always the player played the best in the night when really quality players met there, when the team cooperated 100% and thus? thanks to the fact that many quality players stop playing, so you still deactivate the chat...??!!!!It's laughable. ..and to top it all off, you will postpone the qualifying tournament twice??!!!

[compact yacht]

Good question, maybe because EU Players cant behave since the Server merge?. Russians insulting ukrainians, ukrainians insulting russians, many saying to f Putin, Rest of european Players insulting slavic Players and so on.

[hallow arch]

Well when the protests are basilcy making everybody else have worse gameplay by being afk
Just because you dont like the changes doesnt mean everyone has to suffer
It isnt an attack on WG its an attack on a comunity which by the way really dont care about the removal of the chat.
Just because some people are very vocal about it here doesnt mean that the whole comunity hates the change.
But go ahead make it so that "you are gonna make WG cost money" even tho you wont do anything other than annoy other players

[finite flare]

that exactly the reason, as a eu player i can confirm i saw that on daily bases(it happened so much that i actually learn some words of the language lol.)

[woeful spade]

Russians are not supposed to be on the EU server anyways. Both Russia and Belarus is Lesta games territory

This sounds wrong. I‘m not trying to say that I don‘t want Russians playing on EU. This was just to state that those playing from Russia or Belarus are meant to play Tanks Blitz (or whatever the Lesta version is called)

[rustic lintel]

@mellow crater English only please

[rustic lintel]

Are eu players supposed to be in NA playing tournaments?😉

The idea is though that given the massive amount of Russian players, they were given their own server and it was sort of implied that they’d go there. I think that worked before and would again

[tawny tree]

first of all let me introduce myself, I'm a Turk and I normally use the EU server. And I like to play my cards face up, my nickname in the game is (endustria00). My question or problem is, when will we regain our right to chat during the war?? I've been following what the Discord community has been talking about for a few days now and it turns out that this ban is a political thing. Yes, I think this is a ban

[quaint cipher]

PANT3R4#1374 was muted

[rustic lintel]

[barren wharf]

Packet loss has become insane in the last couple weeks. Never had a problem in years and now the game is unplayable. Tank literally jump on map making aiming impossible. Tested my packet loss and not even to a server in the US I have Loss, but playing WOTB is not possible. And I'm on PC with a wired connection. This, coupled with the chat issue, may lead me to stop playing altogether.

[mellow crater]

@rustic lintel We all know very well where the problem is...deactivating the chat for EU players only started a more open debit and bringing the situation closer to what is happening to players from other servers ...

[small lichen]

How hard can it behave properly. As you teach your children. Talk to others that they would like to be addressed by others... People need to be better at sending a provocative communication and yes, it boils over, for some once in a while. Live with it.

[gaunt lodge]

After the merge all of the: Ukrainian European Russian players started getting salty and constantly raging on the chat over politics
Removing the chat for a while will make them think about what they've done

[jade ridge]

How to supposed play the game..... 20% pack loss....

And teammates don't work...

[gusty plover]

Why did my message got deleted?

[tawny tree]

If there is a problem!! You can't fix the problem by banning the war chat. I will give an example from my own experience, I have a clan that I created 2 or 3 weeks ago and the clan is open for anyone to join. From time to time, someone comes and writes, "long live putin, dies the world" in the clan chat, insults them and then leaves. Who knows, maybe he just doesn't like my clan's name or it's because it says Turkish in the preferred languages ​​section. So what I'm trying to explain is that a person should be free in everything he says. He should be able to insult and line up in praise

[knotty sable]

Chat is not a problem, was useless all the time. Migration is problem, completely ruin EU server with huge number of CiS players. Games take 1 or 2 minutes, win or lost u will know in 60 seconds. Its amazing that people cry about the chat which was never used to make gameplay better. Nobody address the real issues so I guess people are more interested in to chatting during battles then actual gameplay. No wonder people stoping to played this so called "game". On Eu server soon will be only CIS players so GG WG really big brain move.

[odd flower]

at least chat in rooms could be brought back imo, not sure if platoon chat still works but it should as well. also maybe more quick chats could be added

[keen terrace]

Bro why there is so many ban people?

[midnight spindle]

when the game chat is going back?

[west zinc]

make the quick chat resemble that of WoT PC

[tawny tree]

Look again at what I said. We are trying to talk about why it was banned or removed. I think this is disturbing

[knotty sable]

If you live under the rock then u don't know why chat was removed. It's obvious

[gusty plover]

and there is message delete :((

[tawny tree]

What is this now, what are you trying to say!! Also, if I hadn't understood, I wouldn't be able to explain what I understood in this way

[rustic lintel]

The problem, according to wg was the chat toxicity. So to them, no chat, no toxicity

[rustic lintel]

People don’t follow server rules and throw temper tantrums

@tawny tree keep politics out of this - as per server rules

[odd flower]

yeah but might be hard for mobile players cuz limited space and buttons

[digital wyvern]

Russian players have their own server, it's true. However, not all Russian players live on the territory of Russia, someone is outside of Russia and is actually forced to play on the EU server.

[rustic lintel]

Had* and yeah. You can’t force people to play on a specific server unless it’s like geo locked

[crystal flame]

in the euro server there are more russian/ucrainian then others, because 90% if language i see in the chat (and names) are russian/ucrainian, not a problem, but you cant com with them by words, so you need to say: T49 <<< or something, now the game is completely useless and im screaming at my screen, THANKS WG

[cursive zenith]

I still disagree whit wg’s choice of removing the chat from the training rooms

[digital wyvern]

After separating the RU server from the entire WoTB platform, Wargaming gave players the choice of where to continue playing (RU or EU / WoTB or Tanks Blitz), and of course, people who are outside of Russia could only choose the EU server, because this is a necessary measure from the company Wargaming, which took this step because of political ambitions. 🤷‍♂️

[gusty plover]

ok

[rustic lintel]

This is all accurate and I think we all understand it. The choice ru was given was an easy one with how unknown the future with lesta is. Again I agree that there is political stuff involved with all of this but that part doesn’t need to be here

[rustic lintel]

If you’re screaming at your screen, put it down and walk away for a while…

[cursive zenith]

Why don’t we relocate the ru server to the Asian server?

[rustic lintel]

Asia is half the size of eu…

If you guys think the problem is bad on eu, it would be exponentially worse in Asia

[restive wave]

WHA T THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH MATCHMAKING every match is so worse whole team camping at spawn loosing every game while im alone playing

[rustic lintel]

The most basic way to look at size used to be that:
Asia is a 1
Na is a 1
Eu is a 2 (so twice as big)
Ru is a 4

[rustic lintel]

Mm is random mate. Nothing different

[digital wyvern]

I believe that the citizens of Russia should not be separated from the world because of their power. Russians/Ukrainians and Belarusians have always played on the same server - RU, but now people have been separated, and unfortunately all this is due to political thinking that put pressure on Wargaming, and I don’t think this is right. 🇷🇺🇺🇦🇧🇾

[spring sapphire]

nah cause the most important thing is to censor the players instead of fixing the game, nice job Wastegaming

[rustic lintel]

Please let’s just keep politics out of this. I wish we could just peacefully coexist but that’s not realistic

[rustic lintel]

If you’re so angry about it, just go find a new game. Chat isn’t coming back anytime soon

[tawdry sorrel]

Completely normal, you should have seen an E100 player camping on the highest hill in castilla, thats normal bro

[rustic lintel]

It also happens on every server

[magic tree]

source please?

[rustic lintel]

It’s a rough estimate that’s been generally true ish. Idk go on wotbstars or others if you want to find it yourself

[digital wyvern]

👌 I hope soon the CIS server will return to the WoTB platform and everything will be fine as before)

[spring sapphire]

it's not the game itself(that i will play just to troll players cause this game doesn't require either skills or meritocracy to win, it needs ties with wargaming as i see), it's the moderators and the wargaming group that making this decision will lead the game to the grave.... like how it happened with world of tanks, but yeah probably it's yours strenght to keepy lying about things and concentrate the resources on dumb things, i'll make my step and won't buy anything in this game anymore and encourage others to not do it.

[rustic lintel]

We don’t work for wg or make any decisions😂

What exactly is being lied about?

[main arrow]

we don t even know who make the decision, the moderator don t work for wg, they are just modo on the discord server, it s different. Also it s not alexandra who made this decision, alexandra juste post the news on the discord and do livestream for the new update etc communication, so we don t know who this is, many people don t agree with that decision to remove tchat like me, but you will see in some weeks, you are going to be ok and happy to not see toxic people trash talking etc, because imaging you are in a 1vs1 and someone is trash talking you, idk for you but i will want to lose ez

[crystal flame]

THAT is utter noncense, NOT proper communication with your team is waaaaaaayyyy worse then some troll or big mouth. and NO i will not wait a few weeks, because if there will be NO normal communication i and many others will leave the game and will spend 0 euro on it. I have been playing this game since 2015 of and on, and the last few months the game is getting worse and wose with all the over priced useless pirm tanks. Every nono buuys a prim and think they can play, but ruin the game for everybody. No coms is redicules in every form or way possible, even after you are dead you cant help or instruct the others where someone is or to move left or right. SO instead if killing off the chat, why not first work on a decent replacment en see how that works, instead the game gets ruined by its own makes. And if ppl are offended, there is an optionn to report them, give us more and really look if it was offending and give them a warning of a ban for a week, if wrongly roported warn the other guy who is trying to hurt someone by falsly reporting. IT IS NOT HARD

[rustic lintel]

I guess you won’t be playing for a long time then 👋🏼

Also getting mad at new players spending money on premiums is funny given they’re paying to keep the game running and free damage

[magic tree]

It is a big admission of guilt by WG by accepting the fact that the reporting a player (Provocative communication) system DID NOT WORK

[digital wyvern]

I think disabling the chat is temporary and should be treated with understanding 🙂

[mellow crater]

very well, like all the other players from the EU, the problem is connected to the server....we would never solve it here and good and dedicated players would not stop playing

[rustic lintel]

I think everyone’s aware that the system isn’t effective enough for everyone’s liking but idk where anyone “admitted” that

[echo oar]

Ruskies should have their own server why on earth would you relocate them to Asia, it's EU's problem.

[quaint cipher]

VK168#3972 was muted

[cursive zenith]

yea, but we all know that thats not going to happen. cuss wg loves that sweet sweet money

[main arrow]

i don t see why it s eu problem, also it s not wg who decide where the player are going, it s the player himself who decide if we want to go on EU or Asia or NA, but EU was the one who was the best one for them, so it s normal they go over there, also thx the modo to mute the guy because he trashtalk my clan

[rustic lintel]

The pure irony of someone claiming eu chat isn’t toxic, and then breaks the rules to be toxic and try to clan shame🥹

[upbeat wind]

And now for something completely different:......ADS NOT WORKING, ANYONE?? ...

vvvvvvvv yeah I know, but I still have PTSD from last year's big gold drought. It's been a year to the day, no?

[willow rivet]

Happens from time to time ....

[crystal flame]

instead of being a troll yourself, answer the questions, instead of being a big mouth behind your keyboard, the way you talk is why the chat is gone, how ever you are allowed to do it. AND can you please remove the 15 minute slow mode, this is no way to have a discussion if you cant react quicker

[rustic lintel]

Sarcasm and being a troll aren’t the same thing. It can’t be why it’s gone because I’m not on eu. Also, mods don’t control slow zone. You can always dm me

[vague wren]

Hey, Wargayming devs, how about bringing chat back? How about not evolving backwards and preventing us from using our right to communicate with each other?

[rustic lintel]

Shouldn’t they create a solution first?

[mellow crater]

IMMOR is one of the TOP EU clan...and we have met countless times in battles and I have never seen anyone be Toxic...on the contrary, interplay and cooperation in battle..Team play ..

[little escarp]

verstappen, mate, your overall tone is pretty condescending and know-all ish… just sayin… im not surprised people are reacting, i guess thats what you crave…? anyway, i think they got rid of chat not because of general toxicity which has been going on for years and which they have done almost nothing about in the 8 years I have been playing, but more to do with the russian focussed toxicity, but tbh what did they expect after the server migration? they should have given the russians their own server, or given eu server pkayers a free migration to NA or simply cut the chat off after a player dies in game, any of which would be better than the current solution imo…

[gritty peak]

is it only me or did the gameplay level drop to the ground after this so-wise decision

[tawdry sorrel]

I agree, most pro players aren’t salty, but few of them are, lets not talk about [FEN1X] in the other side 😀

[rustic lintel]

If people looked at the situation in an objective way, it’s a lot easier to see why wg have done what they have. Is it ideal? Absolutely not

[mellow crater]

And with me, the toxicity can already be felt on your side....watch out you are a moderator and you write that a player is embarrassing the whole clan???!! these are all facts.. and it's only good that players from the leading EU clan are writing it here .... so let's not always make excuses about toxicity, it's always been there and will be ... I'm not saying it's right, but it can motivate many players to improve.,.

[steep torrent]

T49 fearless?

[knotty sable]

Can I somehow move my account from eu to na? I will trade my team mates for like 250 ping no problem 😆

[magic tree]

Is it possible to transfer my account from EU->NA just like they did with CIS->EU? this server is garbage now

[tawdry sorrel]

They still play normal, most known clans has been disappeared after the new russian players joined the EU server, so its rare to meet them.

[stiff lion]

the chat should still be available at least in training rooms.

[rustic lintel]

@cyan igloo we are not going to shame clans here.

[rustic lintel]

Nope. However you can always create a new account

[gritty peak]

and start grinding from 0, no thanks, the game play level has significantly dropped after chat ban and we're not able to coordinate or provide information to team mates, this is very frustrating!

[rustic lintel]

Team mates did whatever they wanted before the merge. Lack of team work isn’t a new thing. Come on now

It’s either deal with eu, make a new account elsewhere or stop playing (for a while or forever). There’s not really that many different options

[mellow crater]

@tawdry sorrel that's right... they're disgusted... they always show up once in a while, try a few battles, find out that it's still the same... always at night, the best battles took place, there you met TOP EU players and they could check their quality.... because you fought there as a team.... Currently, the Team's regiment does not even have 1000 dmg on the X tier. and your team doesn't exist after 1 minute... and why? because either they hide, or they go at everyone alone and you think that they will kill everyone by themselves... it doesn't work like that... the battles are won by the Team...

[gusty plover]

WG pls bring back chat

[ashen canyon]

Just becuse Asia is half of EU, do people in EU have to accept this like nothing? Asia is half of EU, at the same time you say RU is double of EU, why bringing a population double size of EU into EU and alienating natives of the server. Well it's not your fault ofc but saying it is better to destroy EU server instead Asia bcs they are more populated is also a bad take.

[rustic lintel]

Double eu is better than four times Asia

[visual bramble]

T49-Fearless 👀

[rustic lintel]

Not to mention that the eu and ru servers are potentially built to handle(yes I know the eu server keeps crashing) bigger player populations

[primal acorn]

Uprising mode when start ?

[rustic lintel]

I never said they should destroy the eu server and nor should they. But wg needed to find them a home and quickly and the eu was I’m guessing the easiest and most accommodating

[little escarp]

why cant they just buy and maintain a new russian server? i mean they make millions out of us, is it a sign they are downsizing and the game is dying?

[dull sinew]

Yeah, but completely different play-styles

[tardy isle]

Players in march be like:
Bring Back chat

[rustic lintel]

My hope is for them to build an “eu east” and do another free server transfer

Perhaps that’s what they’re doing while the chat is temporarily disabled

We don’t know and won’t until they’re ready to announce something

[rustic lintel]

It was about player retention first, deal with the rest after is my guess

[cyan igloo]

Why shame? I wrote what players from the country where the two clans originate think. These clans themselves were toxic in themselves. I don't know how it is now but I'm writing what it was about two years ago still. I don't think I wrote anything that is out of order

[rustic lintel]

There’s zero need to claim any clans are toxic here. It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not

It doesn’t help anything

[left stone]

Players in march will be like: “give us the damn chat back”
I know y’all WG staff can’t give your honest opinions but that was just shameless.

The best thing WG could do is hurry up and announce their replacements for chat, or if they really wanna save some face, announce that the change may be temporary.

[gritty peak]

providing information like where other enemy players are (when not seen on map) or remaining hp, or level of a player and who to focus on.. it was pretty helpful.. now none of that is available.. also some players did whatever they wanted, that's right, but a gd % of them used to cooperate, sometimes a plan on what part of the map we'll head to etc.. was established at the beginning of the game.. you're gonna convince me all that doesn't matter and changes absolutely nthg?
now that wg doesn't care anymore about the players' feedback.. i guess gd luck with this new policy! i'd like to see how far they can keep going with it.

[full arch]

Ok great stuff..i see..well only interesting stuff here are the challenges and the tourn.. the rest is trash.. because the roulette is an even bigger scam than the lootboxes, for the t49 fearless very fee play that mode, and those that do , and go for the parts usually have given up on touching grass.

The tornvag will be in crates or released for a huge amount of money/gold id guess around 100 euro if its crates,and around 50-70 euro to buy it straight up.

The times 4x seems amazing and is welcomed by all ,to that i give you many thanks.

The dino stuff i get the feeling its going to be gatekeeped heavily by WG for the extra premium players x3 ... hopefully that won't be true but , seeing that almost all tanks are collectables or rare aside t49...i cant say i have high hopes.

And the uprising tourn..we will se about the rewardss

[compact yacht]

WE havent even Seen the Design of T49 Fearless yet 😭

[rustic lintel]

It’s useful if it’s honest but come on. Most of chat isn’t that

Wgs first concern was not losing the ru players. Hopefully now they can work on a solution

[rustic lintel]

Gonna be 🔥

[mild rivet]

Can we have some preview for the T49 Fearless?

[knotty sigil]

anyone know what the tank for damage for camo challenge thing would be

[dull sinew]

Yeah, but afterwards they can bring back the chat to EU.

[rotund lake]

Tiger 2 is good?

[gritty peak]

yeah they won't, maybe they gonna lose eu players instead 🤣🤣🤭

[ashen canyon]

Fact is Russia is in Asia so wherever you look at it from it does not make sense. If there is a server to direct Russian players it had to be Asia server. It is like directing South American players to EU bcs they are not from U.S. Also it is not only Russian players, there are plenty of players from center Asia countries and they are being forced to play with awful ping in EU just bcs they did not want to pick the other company in RU while they could have better connection to Asia server. And if Asia server is so low populated then there is your chance to boost the population of it. 15 mins slowmode is too long tbf can't discuss anything properly.

[rustic lintel]

It’s actually eu in population

[keen terrace]

60% dino camo look carefully there was 4 dino camo upcoming but they named only 3 so that 1 is for challenge not sure

[bronze cosmos]

Thanks for teaching us geography

Anyways, uprising tourneys but no uprising gamemode ? Really ?

[hushed gazelle]

T49-fearless. So 75 useless certificates for Lorraine (added to the already large collection of useless tank-certificates).

[carmine belfry]

New legendary Leopard 1 camo

[knotty sigil]

you can already get it and the challenge is already over

[ashen canyon]

Does not change the fact that Russia is in Asia, if we gonna enter to those details then even Iran can be considered as EU since they have approx similar distance. Well i don't have any problem with any nation, i had fun times with Russians too irl but reason is i could communicate with them bcs they were speaking English less or more. Now in game you are the last person in a 1 vs 1 situation and 2 people in different teams are nonstop typing in a language you don't understand and you don't know if they are revealing your spot or what and this happens all the time.
Players talking about it will not change how WG will take actions for sure and lets hope will be good for all. Peace.

[crisp prawn]

This chat removal along with server migration was the WORST update ever, even worse than 5.5. The amount of russians/ukrainians yolo rushing you not caring about losing their hp that ruin your game. You cant even tell people where to go now. Legit all times ive played in port bay now that he chat has been disabled my team goes city?????????? Please implement a better way to tell your teammates which side to go or make new server for CIS people. This current system is clearly not working out.

[full arch]

Well one event probably will be the same event for lis..im betting it will be copy paste.
So you can check YouTube for it

[rustic lintel]

Doesn’t change the fact that most Russians are in Europe

[mossy ridge]

If they really remove chat i think there is no point in playing this game anymore. The inability to say team where to go effect the team and winrates exponentially. Moreover it frustrates players the inability to say anything to the team

[river epoch]

i dont understand i just saw a char where did he get that char

[cursive zenith]

I think this whole situation sucks

[rotund crater]

The devs have removed chat as the chat was filled with Cyrillic. The EU server is now the Russian server in all but name. Not being able to even say Good Game is a retrograde step. Moderate it, mute people but don't remove the means to communicate

[echo oar]

CIS didn't choose EU tho they were forced to migrate if they moved to APAC then that server would probably be the one getting chat removed instead of EU, it was just unfortunate they had to be merged to CIS truly a tragedy

[stone current]

By the looks of it you're on Asia so your chat wont be remove, yet :) and I never used to say anything to my team about where to go and no one in my teams did either, yet I win most of my battles.

[main arrow]

that s what i say or i m wrong? 🤔 you can dm if you want

[jolly star]

U cant type to each other in a tournament > your own team..... , fix that plz!

[midnight spindle]

No chat anymore Only Platoon

[pale sand]

Anyone know about how long there usually is between events? newer player here and anxious to see if I have another shot to grind for a free tank, various XP rewards, etc.

[willow rivet]

There will always be more opportunities, there's several a year.

[ashen canyon]

In Europe where they can't blend in? ok @rotund crater i am answering you with editing my post bcs 15 mins waiting time is just ridiculous. This convo has a past and it is not something to reply to only this line you see here.

[rotund crater]

@ashen canyon it's not about blending in and saturating the server. I don't see a lot of the old EU clans on now. You see a lot more potential game rigging now, being shunted into the line of fire and blocking retreat etc. You see what look like commands being sent out especially when there's two man platoons on each side. We even saw two three man Russkie team platooning last month.

[sly oak]

Aside from the chat problems, @echo crater could you tell us when do you anticipate to see Obj 777v2 in the shop? Thanks.

[willow rivet]

They don't announce future events and sales or other game features until they are ready to announce them

There is no need to ping staff over this

[rustic lintel]

Russian and English are 2 of like 27 languages for the continent. Be a bit less ignorant please

[mossy ridge]

Im not speaking as an asian im saying as a general player. I know only EU servers chat is being removed and even if u dont say anything to the team that dont change the fact u have better results if u guide or strategise through chat.

[stone current]

As it is on EU right now, I guess most people wouldn't even understand me if I wrote in english and from experience many of those who do understand just seem to ignore it anyway

[shy bane]

Fix this please

[ashen canyon]

Be a bit less deceptive please. One is language spoken by lots of people in EU to be able to communicate between themselves other is only spoken by Russians mostly. You are trying to walk around the big problem sitting there with word games and maps and stuff in favor of WG. Also who gives you right to insult people just bcs you are a mod? I am sure i am far more educated than you. I will not reply you again bcs you don't have maturity to have a discussion.

[autumn totem]

Technically Europe and Asia are the same continent 🤓

[willow rivet]

This server is English only, and #clan-recruitment is for clan advertising @dreamy wind

[rustic lintel]

You ignored the most basic of facts and that’s all on you. The eu server doesn’t have an official language

[ashen canyon]

I am sitting at center of basic facts, you are the one trying to walk around it with google search without even being in EU as i got. Anyway.

[mystic condor]

The EU server has been hell ever since the servers were mixed. Mixing two different servers that speak completely different language's and play styles was a terrible idea to begin with. This hole thing is WG's fault and removing the chat was just a bad idea.

[mellow crater]

@rustic lintel but hey, now it's alphabet 🤣🤣🤣🤣 stop constantly defending something that has been clear from the beginning ..... an incredible number of people write to you here about the fact that everything has gone wrong since the connection of the server and you will constantly argue that it's cool .. It's not cool and it won't be until things return to where they were before the connection .. but as I see it, what I write here is irrelevant ... because you'll eat your own anyway, because you can't recognize that the server connection It didn't help at all and it killed the game... In the end, the Bolsheviks will control Europe at least here, if they don't succeed in real life...

[misty bay]

Will there be a respawn mide in Euro this week?

[amber basin]

I have a question: The matchmaker noob queue, is it still on? Does it reset weekly or something? Or shut down after 9.7?

I realised it was working better after 1st week it was announced. Lately it seems there is no noob mm queue, or someone lowered the bar or something.

Do you guys agree or disagree? Anyone has info about it?

[rustic lintel]

The alphabets are irrelevant if there’s no chat😉

[rotund crater]

@rustic lintel that's true. But it's the end for a lot of people. I'm not sure if WoT actually want non Russian or Ukrainian players in the EU server now.

[rustic lintel]

They do

[livid sequoia]

Carro in shop when?

[mystic condor]

it doesn't look like it.

[rustic lintel]

The chat is off because of it but ok

[magic tree]

I have almost all premium tanks in EU and today I started playing in NA as F2P. Better experience.. I am from Mexico and live in Europe. WHy would I rage

[rustic lintel]

Don’t rage when you see Spanish in the chat

[rustic lintel]

Did you read the server rules?

The “English only” part?

[edgy pewter]

Both Wargaming and Lesta recommended that players who live in Russia transfer to Lesta's RU server. Now both complanies are automatically transfering inactive accounts based on the players location..

When deciding whether to connect to EU or Asia servers, distance is what's relevant for a player who lives in Kazahkstan, for example. Amsterdam is closer than Singapore, reducing ping, connection problems etc.

[sage willow]

Thats true. But english is the most common, because everyone speaks at least a little bit of english nowdays. Btw, did u ever play on the eu server? Because back in the good old days the chatting was mostly in english, even tho it is not anybodys native language but its the only one that everyone speaks a bit. For example: im hungarian so english is my 2nd language. If i would start chatting in hungarian in the battles nobody could understand me, but I use english there cuz thats the most effective thing. Also, after merging the cis server with the eu you couldnt even recommend basic tactics to you team (like left/right side of the map or middle) cuz everyone speaks russian or other unspeakble language. I think wg should do something with the cis guys and give back the chat!!! And also, in training rooms the chat is the most important thing. Cuz u can chill and talk there with some in game friends there, so this decision from wg kills that too.

[lyric zinc]

Remove chats and you'll face the consequences( you'll lose players in ur game)

[rustic lintel]

At the end of the day, language in game where there isn’t one official language means that everyone can speak whatever they want. Is it frustrating? Sure. But now people don’t have to see Cyrillic “spam”

[rustic lintel]

Like what?

[hazy field]

u could easily ban cyrillic spam without deactivating the chats tbh

[gusty plover]

Ye, there is no point discussing with mod. They have the opinion of WG cuz it's who they work for

[cedar berry]

in my opinion this update will SUCK. destroying all communication will make battles so bad and trainning rooms will be called mute rooms. So no fun minigames like jumpers vs shooters because nobody would be able to talk and it would be chaotic.

[magic shard]

@willow rivet I thought you were from wargaming

[midnight spindle]

do ur job n give people chat restrictions ❌ remove chat ✔️

[rustic lintel]

Discrimination is your solution?😂

[rustic lintel]

Don’t work for wg. Sorry my opinion is that the Russians aren’t the only ones being toxic

[magic tree]

Among Us removed chat and the game died lmao if this won't kill it then WG is doing a fine job trying to

[rustic lintel]

Wotb has been around for 9 years. This won’t kill it

[rain olive]

Among us was a trend, World of Tanks Blitz isn't

[rustic lintel]

It’s just one of three servers. Na and Asia are completely unaffected

Eu is big enough to lose players and survive just fine

[warm iris]

Hey I just wanted to say I understand removing battle chat in world of tanks blitz but why in rooms too? Now rooms are useless.

[sage willow]

Nice joke… I think wg should separate cis and eu. It would solve the problem. On the first place, why are they here? Or they should ban enchantment table (aka. unspeakable gibberish languages) from the BATTLE chat, but only from the battle chat. Why? Cuz everyone uses english to recommend tactics cuz its the most commonly known language. And they should allow any kind of language in training rooms cuz its fine there. They made a mistake, thats fine, but now they need to apologise and solve the problem. So, do you think loosing players is fine? Shutting down the chat is fine? They should solve the problem they created instead of doing something stupid. I dont even know why are you a mod on this server, u seem to not care about the game and especially the players and the community or you just dont care cuz its not effecting you cuz u are on NA. Imagine if wg did this with the NA server…

[ashen canyon]

So a discord mod says WG is fine with losing players (money) , i wonder what actual WG employees will say about this comment

[hazy field]

not what i said, but how can i tell my team: "go left"; "run"; ...

[rustic lintel]

I never said I was fine with it. I said that eu could take it and survive it

[rustic lintel]

You can ping the map like everyone else

[mellow crater]

@rustic lintel like this is really not fun anymore.. have you played now?? it's disastrous... I try to give orders on the minimap and out of 10 battles in 2 battles people react and somehow try to cooperate.. Otherwise it's a total farce...

[rustic lintel]

So take a break and do something else for a while

This isn’t going to be “solved” over night

The first thing eu did after the merge was complain about how bad the chat was. Wg said we hear you and turned it off. Now it’s complaints about not having chat back

[cedar berry]

now we have mute rooms! People wont be able to do cool minigames like protect the king

[rustic lintel]

The Russian speakers have no where to go yet. If you want the problem to actually get better, you want wg to take the time and make a new server for them to migrate to

[rustic lintel]

The community complains in every possible direction so no matter what wg does, some group is always unhappy. I would be completely fine with na losing chat personally

[warm iris]

Oh BC other languages are not allowed to talk in battle chats only english ppl oh okey that's racist

[rustic lintel]

It’s either English only or anything but Russian with people like this lol

[finite flare]

that what player dont see,wg cant make everyone happy,but now that they don't have to deal with eu chat issues,they have more focus on different aspects of the game such as quick command we soon see improvement to this old system.game wont die form a simple chat that didnt really had a actual use anyway.

[rustic lintel]

Without the chat, everyone speaks the same language. Silence

[tropic moon]

Honestly, I am not even sure how feasible a new server will be. Transfer to eu was voluntary similarly transfer to a new server will have to be voluntary as well. No guarantee that Russian speakers will transfer.

Perhaps a second cluster with priority connection for east.

[worthy needle]

If WarGaming are hellbent on keeping chat removed, I think the least they can do (and I think you will back me on this), the least is add in improved functions for quick chat. Like WoT just much better since there is so little you can say to communicate with your team. “Heavies all go c” “IS-8 stop sniping from a bush and attack. You are heavy not td” “I am reloading, x seconds left” “Their x tank is in x bush”. And also ad pinging places like in WoT to mark bushes enemy tds are in.

[rustic lintel]

However they do it, my thought was an “Eu East” because you can’t name it Russia

[rustic lintel]

New quick commands are coming!

[sage willow]

I think only english would be fine on battle chat. Cuz what other language do you use to give instructions to your team? And Im not a native english speaker and i dont consider it racist, cuz i know that i wont be able to communicate with my team with my native language. And sometimes using the chat is easier than quick command, at least on pc. And also, 90% of players ignore quick commands…

[rustic lintel]

90% of players also ignore “useful” chat

Eu isn’t going to become an English only server. Just let that idea go

[mellow crater]

So do you mean that WG plans to create a server for the players who came here as soon as possible? YES? or is it just your hypothesis??

[rustic lintel]

My honest hope is that the chat removal is to calm down the eu server in terms of toxicity, spam, insults etc while they figure out where to put the ru guys. My thought would be a new server/cluster that can be just for them and once it’s ready they’ll just do another free migration process

[cedar berry]

lets be serious, everybody ignores both chats. the useful one has a big problem, the languagee barrier, and the quick chat is just too simple. 100% of tier 1-9 ignore everything

[finite flare]

well cant do anything if someone dont wanna cooperate in team base game lol.nothing will get the attention of dude with his head under the ground

[fading heron]

it would be good if WG could add this thing to blitz if the chat is gonna get removed

[bronze cosmos]

With chat or not, that's a very interesting suggestion

[crisp prawn]

their excuse would be "no we cant do it, it has huge impact on lower end devices."

[rustic lintel]

Yes. They’d no longer be able to support iPhone 6s. A shame

[carmine helm]

With Chat now dead, why would players from the old CIS server go to a new (effectively) CIS server? What would be the benefit of that? The only benefit would be if chat (in the Cyrillic text) was brought back in. In which case they’d have to reintroduce chat on EU (or be accused of being completely anti the EU server player base.

[rustic lintel]

It has to be marketed as a new more Russian based server and they’ll flock there no problem, plus it wouldn’t have chat restrictions

[hazy field]

but i cant help them, when they are in a 1v3 with tips for example. They wont understand with this things, they need messages

[rustic lintel]

The whole thing would have to be clear so the long time eu people don’t go there by mistake though

[rustic lintel]

Your team doesn’t help you most of the time, they wouldn’t be anymore helpful in a kolo situation

[fading heron]

nah, they are literally PBRing maps and tanks

[quaint cipher]

Block this acount#2583 was banned

[crisp prawn]

Why do i feel like after the chat gets somewhat introduced back the toxicity will still stay. Players right now will treat it as chat ban, once its over they start again.

[carmine helm]

Ok. So as I was typing you edited your reply to inc the end part that says they’d get chat on their new server. Which should logically mean chat being reinstated on EU.
That’s the same as admitting the current chat ban on EU is down to the CIS players having been migrated here by WG. Which in effect acknowledges that the original EU players are being punished by WG for a problem of WG’s own making.
Great way to treat paying customers.

[magic tree]

I've said it before. It's a huge admission of guilt that both the Report Provocative Communication System that was "OVERHAULED" and put in place literally less than 1 year ago to combat toxicity did not work. And the fact they are doing this in EU only speaks volumes of the amount of political issues surrounding it

[gusty plover]

bring back battle chat pls

[worthy needle]

Bro I asked for that like 10 times. Also in general WoT has so many great features like the spotting circles on the map, pinging places, much better chat options.

[edgy pewter]

One thing to consider is that the paying customers include those who speak Russian, Ukrainian, Kazahk, etc. If your opinion matters, so does theirs, and some of them were always opening accounts on the EU server. This increased in 2022, for obvious reasons, but the fact remains that some of the players who transferred see themselves as Europeans and simply prefer the EU server.

Not everyone who transferred behaved well, but that’s true for everyone.

[tranquil basin]

@echo crater hey may i ask you about my account got transfer?

[magic lagoon]

@echo crater My acc got transfer too its about 2 months now any updates?

[next oxide]

Ever since chat got removed my teammates are just (Insert slur here)

[crisp prawn]

+1

[solemn glen]

is battle chat still enabled in training rooms?

[cursive zenith]

No, cuss wg is incompetent

[next oxide]

Theyre not the only people who are

[autumn totem]

Why not just establish an official EU server language? One that is fair and universally Illegible?

@rustic lintel precisely, to ensure minimum cohesive possible.

[rustic lintel]

And tell everyone that doesn’t speak it they can’t play?🥴

[junior glen]

English was the regular language in all EU server in all Game
Add : @cyan igloo Now everyone cant talk anymore

[cyan igloo]

Everyone in every game writes in whatever language they want and you can't change that

[gusty plover]

Can someone tell when the next fun mode will appear?

[lone hearth]

i like how WG releases several new camos with every battle pass, but could more "realistic-looking" camos be included in these battle passes as well? there are so many crazy camo designs that i think we are missing out on simpler ones, it would be nice to have at least one normal-looking camo per battle pass

[steep urchin]

How will be the next battle pass?

[wispy yoke]

Wow dinosaur stuff, good job I used to play JWE xD

[limber dagger]

tbh camos with flowers looks nice

[hallow arch]

Cry me a river

[spark idol]

It's all thanks to the EU server

[ashen wren]

Copied and translated into english from WotB rules:

2.3. The official language of communication is English. The use of other languages is permitted in battles, tournaments, clans, troop channels and personal messages, as well as channels created specifically for communication in these languages.

[boreal glade]

bro grab a CATTB

[cursive zenith]

I completely agree, although I may not use such colorful language. It’s seems like wg dug a hole when they brought the whole player base of the RU server in the EU server. And after a year of frustration at the performance of these frankly abysmal players, they just decided to take our voices away.

Anyway it seems wg doesn’t listen to us, only the extreme loyal mediators try to calm us down, and tell us : WG works in strange ways.

To me it looks like they got fed up by people raging, and instead of focusing on: how to solve this issue they removed the feature all together. And although this may stop some toxic behavior in the battles, it would be a understatement to say: they seriously didn’t consider the training rooms, and although there are some really stupid rooms out there… For people that wane do different things like: reincarnat ww2 or improve skills. Or even just chill and play with some friends they know from the game.

Taking away the ability to talk with them isn’t right, if people are bening annoying… you could see this a general toxic behavior and in that case you could argue that the chat shouldn’t be there.

However the host can just kick them. Or even just leave the room if people dislike the people there. But denying the opportunity to chat in rooms will only help to strengthen the frustration at wg mind set.

Wg if you read this: I’m sorry if people seem upset at your choices lately.
I really am, it can’t be easy because you will always offend people when you make your choices.
This being said, I’m begging you: please bring back the chat for the training rooms, i full heartedly believe that having a option to play world of tanks the way you enjoy will only funder the respect they have for your work.

@echo crater thank you for responding earlier, as I said it may not be possible to please everyone. And I really do appreciate you putting in the effort, I do have faith in wg. When it comes to making the right calls. A prime example would be the sheridan ( with missiles way back)

As a old time player I humbly request wg to reconsider bringing back the chat for the training rooms.

[boreal glade]

it's useless arguing with wargaming... just leave the game, is much better and makes you feel good, you can try Armored warfare, panzer war, sproket, tank company etc

[gusty plover]

Yeah, I reduced my time spent in WoT Blitz and play now another game and I'm watching youtube or Netflix. It feels much better now

[errant venture]

something I've found already immediately harder during gameplay - you can't communicate with teammates about enemy locations precisely. A sector isn't good enough when some squads/plats have designated map nicknames. Discord chat sometimes just isn't available. Removing Global is a good call but wow is the move to remove Team Chat such a handicap

[placid bluff]

Congrats?

Иривет

Привет, товарищ

[carmine matrix]

Hello everyone

Ever since the chat have been removed, it became harder to communicate with team players, especially suggesting a place on the map and here where i noticed something

but before i start i want to say really good job Blitz developers on adding sound effects for pinging a location on the map, its a unique sound that catches the attention and is very useful, but what i noticed is.. you see how there are small squares on the mini map? When you ping a location on the mini map it highlight 4 squares on the mini map which most of the time can be misleading/misinformative and not very precise

My suggestion is why not instead of highlighting 4 squares on the mini map but a single square to be more precise? I know you might say "It may be easier to pin point a square on the mini map when you're on PC using a mouse but on mobile its difficult" and it is true but there is a solution to that and that is give the option to make the mini map even bigger.

[harsh hornet]

Good idea, but: I never met so many players with an avg dmg under 500, 3x% winrate and some 10k games like in these days. This can only happen, when you play on your Nokia mobile from 1999. Now give them a minimap with even more squares to touch. You know?

[gusty plover]

I think he means it as an option to get bigger minimap if your device allows it (like PC or tablet). But for phone I think it's not possible to make the minimap bigger. Even on big phone screens the place is very limited

[carmine matrix]

That's why i said "give the option" to make the mini map bigger

[gusty plover]

yep, said nothing else

[shy pasture]

With no chat, I can't write to team where they must go
now makes the game harder now
Bruh wg

[dull mural]

LOL, does anyone really believe that the chat had any tactical impact? I mean, that’s some level of self delusion.
I don’t like removing the chat for other reasons but let’s not pretend that it had any significant impact on the gameplay.
when I saw “<<<<<“ in the chat my first instinct usually was to drive in the opposite direction, bye bye lemmings, or to be more accurate, see what happens and decide then which way to go, got burned too many times early on following “advice” from what turned out to be a 30%er

[gusty plover]

to be fair: chat had minimal tactical impact since the game launched but with very nice exceptions. Chat is more entertainment and without it it's pretty boring. WG couldn't deal with the rule breakers and that's the real issue imo

[sly basin]

i wonder how many team shame posts you have

but really, chat can be very helpful. sometimes they can help others know what to do on this and this.

[gaunt lodge]

He is spreading facts 💯
I've had many battles where my team mates say: "go hill kill meds" in middleburg and everyone go up but the enemy team have no meds or lights so they go up and waste their time and eventually die
It's better for them to not talk at chat and mislead everyone

[gaunt lodge]
