When you finish a battle. In the stats where it shows your moe. It doesn’t show you what % your at.

I'm loving this update so far. Loving the looks of things. Oh and @eager solstice I think the MoE is in another section, the "performance" page.

New outline for tanks is good. 👍

I don't like the "invisible" Advent Calendar.

  • New Ribbon Art
    Waste of development resources... If it ain't broken don't fix it. There was literally nothing wrong with old ribbons and they looked great.

  • Booster Upgrade
    Cool, good feature, nothing to complain about. Wish it was a feature already before. In the path notes showcase image it takes two 2x XP boosters to create a single 3x booster but in game it takes three 2x boosters to create a single 3x booster. I found it misleading.

  • Enhanced Outlines
    Again good feature, nothing to complain about. Wish it was in-game already before.

  • Game Mode Menu
    It's better than it used to be but still not on the level before 6.0. 75% of the screen is just wasted space and actual text with game modes is on the left corner of the screen with small font. Also WW2 Coop description says: "Battle with WW2 vehicles in epic players vs player battles"? PvP? Doesn't sound right.

  • Garage UI
    I haven't noticed any changes except the Loadout and Boosters are now wrapped around with a black opacity button. Garage still not on the level as before 6.0

  • Post-Battle Result Screen
    Good upgrade compared to what we had. But when I have premium account silver earnings are no longer highlighted with gold color, I still have troubles with recognition of who died and who survived in game, I still have troubles of actually telling right away from the post-game screen whether my team won or lost. Again 6.0 had this just worked out perfectly. The presence of Red/Green team colors and destroyed/operational vehicles made it so much easier and was a great UX design. Marks of excellence don't display the actual % value and the threshold is moved by 1 degree up. For example I have 2 marks of excellence on a tank but shows that I am better than 95% of the players in the tank. It should be 85% for 2 marks.

  • Vehicle Changes
    VK.72.01 (K) good buff but ehould have been made along with Panzer 7. Still people are waiting for nerfs to MK.6, E5, Murat, T57, E4, T95E6

#
  • Regiments
    T57 reskin as CW tank is a joke. I have nothing else to say about this.

  • Bugs
    Immediately the 1st game I have noticed white team/enemy damage UI info. It used to be team color based

  • Crew Voices
    There has been nothing mentioned in the patch notes but crew voices sound completely different. The overall quality of the crew voices audio is just worse and it sounds like they are speaking under the water. Some of my crews have also lost their original national voice over

+1 to the crew voices. It’s not in the notes and I don’t understand the change. It’s especially bad with commanders with unique VO.

Why do you keep making the menu fonts smaller and smaller?

#

I like the booster upgrade system as a concept, but some of the rates dont feel worth it. The graphic showing 2 boosters of one level for 1 of the next level up is misleading at best

#

On the new PBRS screen, why switch from the bumpers to triggers to change tabs? Completely unnecessary change that now just hurts everyone's muscle memory

PBRS There is no information about the date and time of the battle, only the duration

@winged surge "I still have troubles of actually telling right away from the post-game screen whether my team won or lost."

So the "VICTORY" or "CLOSE DEFEAT" before the post-game screen isn't enough? Sorry, that's a little harsh. My bad.

The color bars at the top of team standings still reflect winner and loser. Dead teammates are not as brightly listed as survivors (although it's not overtly obvious). And the rewards are still side by side - left side is non-premium earnings, right side is premium.

All in all it should be easy to figure out with a closer look at a few screens to see the differences, and you will adjust.

Looked at the season , read all the posts about the holiday going on on wotma ... tbh I dont give a crap for this season. It's just another season that the only way you get a tank that is even halfassed worth it ... you have to spend 6000 gold for the ultimate pass . I dont care for ww2 tanks and already own most of the tanks in the pass so total PASS for me .

I might come back when there is something worth playing but frankly I have 3 other games that ALL HAVE WAY BETTER HOLIDAY PLANS LAID OUT CLEARLY FOR THE PLAYERS AND THEY ARE NOT HIDING THE GOOD ITEMS BEHIND UNREASONABLE BULLSHII .

also I cant even find the drive to grind out the chests you need 32k xp for, all the previous chests I got from those challenges dropped such bad crap that now I see the challenge .... laugh and log off . NOT wasting my time .

Why did you guys take away the mark of excellence percentage after battle screen

Perhaps they think people only want it while in game as people have asked for that. And they can’t do both.

Hello taquistas. I see a lot of graphical improvements, but after ruining the game with the previous update, they're not going to backtrack since they'd rather the old players not come back.
It seems Wargaming prefers Fortnite.
Thanks for ruining the game more and more.

disappointing Update again and again and….

Why is only the player's nickname gray when he was killed in battle? It would be logical to make the entire line gray, as it was before 6.0, it will be visually easier for the eyes to perceive.

Probably would be better if , on
Mode select screen, co-op wasn’t directly under Multiplayer. Can’t say how many times I inadvertently selected wrong one. Bad designing. No new map is unacceptable, no new chests is unacceptable. Your lack of customer focus continues to puzzle me. Though the recent changes are making the gameplay much better.

^^Yeah definitely was nicer to switch before without flipping through co op mode

New PBRS is sharp, like it with the tank. Font could be bigger—particularly team listing.

Medals dropping I’m mixed. Thought it would be good in a sense but is a bit corny at this point—like introducing some 8 bit mechanic. Doesn’t seem as deep thud when hitting as I remember maybe contributes. Like change on a floor.

Does anyone know of a worse, more uninspiring, Game Board event in any game?
I think this one has to be the worst.

#

So many good tanks in the premium range people would like but just keep putting same old rubbish out in battle pass 🤪

#

Also, reload times on multi shot tanks has gone up substantially. Maybe some slight changes required here since reload reduction removed from commander skills 🤔

#

Also sad to see no celebrity Christmas tank like in previous years, and while on that note! The Old Reliable tank needs a buff, was hard work from the day of release, it’s more like Old Unreliable 😅

Ice bound season so far for me it's been mid to poor execution all around.

While it's nice to Get the Chally 1 MK3 as an ultimate pass tank the Wojeck 53/56 is a decent Tier 100 and it's nice to see the Panzernaker available for those who want it and didn't grind commander mode back in the day and the T57 heavy as a regiment reward was also a pleasant surprise especially for us Cold War players a lot of the other stuff has been downright awful.

I like the UI changes reminds me of the 360 era and outlines are decent too.

But time gating content like the icebound chests not being able to buy them until January is terrible especially for those who like to buy chests to top up gold as even with the nerf on duplicate tank gold value there still a decent investment is frustrating enough especially with wimterfest in full swing.

But in terms of wimterfest nothing was learned from Last year in fact the crates are even worse.

The fact some of the content is only currently available in a mega bundle specifically the Mold buster and the commander that comes with it and then you proceed to gatekeep a tank outside of the mega bundle in specific loot boxes within loot boxes is noted only shady but also extremely anti consumer.

Yes I know the mold buster and probs the commander will be a reinforcement to the winter fest store on the 23rd ( Though so far only the tank has been confirmed )

But at the same time having to wait 2 weeks to access content that should be available to everyone day one is an absolute joke.

If your gonna do an event store by all means add stuff down the line but the independence day event was just a better way of doing it.

Make all the new content available day 1 via various methods that aren't time gated or locked behind extreme pay walls and if you wanted to add more stuff later down the road feel free to do so.

Because at the moment it feels like because someone may want the new Tier 10 and thus will invest in the loot boxes there being punished to take that option as now there locked out of the mold buster unless they want to drop an absurd 60k gold on a bundle where they own 70% of the content all ready. it's just gross

Well, since my current gameboard task is to collect 75 different snowballs from players in Toytank mode, I'm going to guess that some of the gameboard can be completed in that mode.

I finished the game board a few days ago and there are two things i would not like repeated in future. One, winning a tank you can’t use in the real game is sort of pointless. Two, having garage gear as an award to people, me, who don’t use it is pointless. That goes for loot boxes also as it really pisses me off to spend money on things I can’t or don’t use. Why not just leave the stuff out some people don’t use?

It's called bloat to dilute the lootable so your less likely to get actually useful things

glass shale

Things you don’t or can’t use are of no value. It’s not about what people like, but what they spend time and money on that are useless. Like buying surprise boxes in a store with nothing in them. That would be illegal.

I just noticed that on the scoreboard screen page of the battle report it says Draw next to both team 1 and team 2 above the list of players. Not a big deal but could use fixing.

So world of tanks bring back plus one minus one and keep it guess I get tired of playing a tier 8 always against tier 10

Tier 8 vs Tier 10 is not fun anymore after 9 years world of tanks is getting to not fun anymore it is sad is a good game but it needs to be fixed War Thunder is looking better all the time

World of Tanks on consoles is just a joke. I've been playing for almost 10 years. I took a long break. I recently came back and I'm appalled at how little the game has evolved. To still charge so much money for it is outrageous.

The truth of the matter is that the community is extremely divided in what they think the game needs

#

We all pretty much agree toxic premiums are toxic. The player base is toxic. The PB who communicate here are toxic.

#

but those extremes never shut up, same names filling every post, same half truths or blatent lies told by players and staff.

iv called out some of the more stupid stuff here.

War chests game board:
It's still disappointing to receive only 50 gold coins in each chest, barely more than the minimum that used to be in the smallest card (150) as I got 200 (4 x 50...).
Don't bother suggesting to buy chests, because unfortunately, I can't buy them in my country, so I'm forced to complete challenges to get chests, even though the rewards are a paltry 50 gold coins nine times out of ten...
Next times, I'll maybe avoid to complete the challenge...
I prefer to get nothing than getting jokes...

This weeks chest earn opp Brawling Streak is a joke for anyone only playing tier 6 and below.
Get 3,750 damage dealt, blocked and received in battle, 55 times.
It could work if it stacked from game to game, but to do and or receive that amount of damage in a low tier tank is very very difficult just once let alone 55 times x 2.
Hope we don't see it again.
