Both sound good but too little too late I fear. Depending on how it goes, I'd try the campaign as long as it isn't world of warships style. Dandywalken fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Mar 4, 2017 |

Asehujiko posted:Warships has a campaign now? Chained missions really, where you have 5 or 10 steps, and at each step you complete basic things for pins and rewards like sink 3 ships, get 20 torp hits, etc. The pins advance you to the next stage, and stages have larger rewards. There's two basic ones, one long one which is a semi-tutorial and has 7 days premium as the final reward, and one for tier 8+ with a Japanese DD premium as the final reward; there were also 2 over Xmas, one which gave the Graf Spee, and one which gave a bunch of permanent premium camos to tier 6 tree ships (and the ships if you didn't have them already).

Well, I'm assuming set pieces where you move from point to point and learn things on the way. Unlike the WoWS and WoT models where you just do x amount of some task in a certain tier/tank (or ship) combo to advance to the next set of tasks. The only way to attain such a controlled enviroment will have to be via pve. Speaking of lore, have your first bit: https://aw.my.com/us/news/general/lore-world-armored-warfare TLDR: World went to poo poo, no one had the balls to call out the corporations. Corps got given land/rights by countries to help them stay solvent (short term only, they crumbled eventually). Now corps run the world and the corporations all have their own military branch. This all comes up by 2030. So we are playing a game with "modern" tanks in a world 15 years later where apparently no r&d was spent by any corporation on newer toys to help protect and gain new assets.

Not that it'll ever happen now, but the whole idea behind AW would've made for the potential to have Strike Commander Online, and I would be *down* with that. Start in Sabres and MiG-15s and move up to maybe the fourth generation of planes, max.

Man if this is going to end up with tier XI - XX tanks, and one of the tier XX tanks is literally a Warhammer 40K tie in and another is some poo poo from Robotech, I'm down.

I don't know if the servers are up yet as they had originally listed them to be offline all day. But the announcement notes are up for the big patch. Likewise, I can tell you to be ready as it is a 10.29gb sized patch. https://aw.my.com/us/news/general/introducing-update-019-tanks-reloaded Edit: Server just came up. There is a contest that gives gold and platinum crates by just playing the game a couple times a day. https://aw.my.com/us/news/general/celebrating-tanks-reloaded Also, there is now a tier 10 arty. It is a comedy thing. Centauro 155. Take the 8 wheeled centauro hull and put some comedy turret on it, call it arty. Edit2: Uhhh, tier 9 arty can pen light tanks for 1k damage. I placed 3rd on my team at 11k damage dealt. There was a centauro 155 on my team as well. He did 3k. He also complained about arcs being nerfed. I found this odd since he is complaining about a tank that didn't exist in the game until today. SPGs are pretty fun for pve matches since they removed all the barriers given them (they can actually move now) and don't have to worry about counter battery or spend time counter batterying.

Downloading the client, since you can do the event missions in PvE. Gotta love an hour long download at 8MB a second.

Weren't they changing artillery to basically giant HE throwing glass cannon TDs? Or did that get dropped, I can't be bothered to read the patch notes.

lol pve hard is so loving easy, jesus christ this game is poo poo. MBTs cannot see poo poo so you have tanks just disappearing while firing in the open across the road from you, but it doesn't matter because you're immortal so you can just drive at them. Christ what an unpleasant game.

So let me get this straight, new update. Choose the red pill and delete your progression. Get compensated and pretty much start back as a tier 1 scrub. Take the blue pill and pretty much nothing changes but some tank fuckery when something you own gets down tiered.

I'm not bothering to reset. I got a free tier 9 arty, a tier 9 td (the centauro 120 got moved up) and accidently got a tier 8 afv because the bradley also made the jump. That isn't counting the comedy of my bmpt terminators going from tier 6 to tier 8 (and at that level, autocannons kind of suck, but atgms are way better now). Also, if you have an abbot during the split, they went funky on you. The tier 3 stayed behind, but the tier 4 was sold back for gold for you. You can go right back and get it if you wish. However, I really don't see why. I also gained 12mil credits and I have no idea how or why.

I also noticed that my pzh arty went from barely having any rep in it at patch time to being nearly max rep (2 games later got the centauro 155 unlocked). THat is why I have no idea what happened there.

I honestly haven't tried pvp yet. I'm still adjusting to some of the tank changes in general. As an example of it, autocannon tanks are a mixed bag that ends up being an overall nerf it feels. For the buff, they have 1s clip reloads. So there is no longer a need to reset your clip between kills. Or in the case of the fox cry because a clip couldn't kill even soft targets in pve matches. On the other hand, the armor changes has meant that their guns just don't do jack poo poo unless you are shooting the tank's rear. This even goes as far as including the premium terminators.

lol this game is worse than before. MBTs are still literally immortal even in PvE, even in hard difficulty, but now the autocannon lights are just much worse positioned. If they go forwards and scout, they're going to get snapshot by AI and die in 4 shots, but if they hang back and just launch missiles nothing's going to spot and if your MBTs are shitheads you'll just lose to the AI capping. The autocannons have to hit very specific spots on the enemy tanks, but I guess having literally no reload is pretty cool. Just hold left click forever until you run out of HP or ammo. I lost a medium PvE because I just kinda went buck wild with the BMD-2 and did 5000 damage, burnt my kit to refill my HP, then did another 4k and two enemies spawned on top of me while I was in the second objective resetting, and then the other four players on my team did 3000 combined and let the AI cap. All the others were unlosable games because either I was in an MBT or a competent human was in an MBT and willing to press W and go towards the enemy tanks and left click on them.

It's impressive how many people grab the formula of "have tanks shoot at each other" and gently caress up so massively. Imagine if the FPS genre was filled with developers who couldn't make a single decent FPS so you had to play Battlefield 1942 forever because it was terible and old but at least it was kinda workable (this is WoT)

Protip in pve. If you are driving a mbt and can get up to a good speed (the challenger even at full speed is too slow though), ram light tanks. I just did 1k damage to one of those ultra light tanks in my t-72b. Ultralight as in a vbl or something. I couldn't stop laughing after it happened. So yeah, ram everything.
