Go figure.

My experience with videogame alpha testers is that some namecalling probably isn't uncalled for.

Remarkably there is only one name off the top of my head that stands out as a complete shitlord that everyone loathes from Alpha. For the most part the rest are chill dudes who enjoy testing and want to help. This one gently caress though starts every match barking orders and calling everyone 'Kid'.. right, go gently caress yourself.

I liked the dude who hadn't gotten out of tier three before saying they could shut down the server because he was the only one testing.

Called some pub a number of interesting and not very pleasant names for trying to cap out instead of chasing down the 3 enemy carriers that were left in a tier 5 game. When he wouldn't leave cap I tk'ed him to both the joy and amusement of my team. I think this is a good test of the chat and tk system. He did not. I suggest tk'ing shitlords as a test of the games systems and your own general amusement.

I have a KOS on biogrip no matter what team he is on. Since TK's don't matter, if I am in a DE I will launch waves of torps at a close enough range then blame him for crossing in the path. In bigger ships I would use him as a meat shield and block him as much as possible. No love lost between us. If you do manage to TK biogrip, the steady stream of obscenities is glorious.

I forgot how stupid pubbies are when it comes to dealing with the Black Prince. I got HT-9 or whatever, block your vehicle's HP pool in damage. I got stuck facing the field, alone, in Ruinberg encounter as a top tier. I died, yeah, but not after the enemy team had dumped almost 3k in blocked damage alone on me. This was does not count an IS firing HE at my turret and taking maybe 500 of my health over two minutes. We won because they were so focused on killing me, 10 of my team capped

Butchering their language more than it already is using Google translate is p. good. Whenever they say "You said that wrong." you can respond back with "no, you learned it wrong scrub." Try it, it's fun. Telling them their lovely version of Portuguese when everyone knows only people from Portugal know how to use the language correctly gets you extra points.. and possibly team killed depending on the circumstances. demonR6 fucked around with this message at 19:42 on Feb 4, 2015 |

sarmhan posted:I mean tier 10 has been early-cold war stuff and paper designs for a long time now. Having an actually heavily used and built tank is better than tanks that never saw service or were never even built. Compared to the other Tier 9-10 french options which are all prototypes that never saw production, having the actual MBT of the french army is great. You're right. I just think that a lot of those tanks shouldn't have been in the game to begin with. I understand why they decided to put them in but that doesn't mean I can't think it's stupid. And then bitch about it on the internet in an obnoxious way.

If you play it like a T9 50 100 and not a 13 90 you will do fine in it. With that being said, I loving hated it when it was tier 8 and as tier 9. I also hated the 50 100, so take that as you will.

Mesa and other people who aren't winning as much lately - stop trying to win. Be a shithead damage farmer for WN8, be a seal clubber for winrate, or sabotage your team for the missions. Trying to win is not going to be fun because XVM will not tell you when your teammates will sabotage you for a mission. Low winrate players you can tell will be useless. CHAI members will sabotage your team to farm WN8. That additional variable of some shittily designed mission causing insane behavior is just too much. Give up and be a shitter.

I hate Lakeville. Driving my Bishop towards the town so I can reach better and then I noticed on the map that one td camped spawn, the other two arty hid in the corner, one medium went town and everyone else clogged the valley. Clogged it like a toilet after a big mammal drops a massive poo poo into it. I barely failed to drown myself before I got blown up by the enemy lights and mediums that breezed through and murdered everyone from behind while their alley cloggers held the line.  But then I went into my S-51 and hit a heavy for 1600 damage, one shotting him and after taunting him all was well again.

The AMX-30 twig coming from the 13 90 is pretty boring. I mean, it's not like the 13 90 is a terrible tank to grind through again, but where are the other tanks? France had a sizable pre-release tree packed with interesting interbellum tanks this could have come from, but none of them have moved on from 2 year old ingame models.
