At least he played 2 hours and provided constructive criticism. Better than all of the hysterical bots out there. The truth is this a test build and still needs work. That's why it's out there.
@@halbailmantest build, with the mechanics that are disliked already set in stone. Let's be real the only thing wg will fix is the performance and the graphics. What we see is what we'll get
@torqq69 The core game hasn't changed. The main area of contention is commanders, and HRF was quite open to them. He recognised the current crew skills are problematic, and getting a choice of more relevant and direct skills via commanders is fine in principle, and looks interesting. His main concern was the cartoon appearance and voices, which is a simple alternation. WG released a video earlier today detailing the rationale and benefits of changing crew skills to commander skills, and accepted people don't like the cartoon look.
I agree, I have played 10k+ games and not 1 ratings battle. I'm older and not great at the game, but stats are the only reason I play. I enjoy a relaxed style of play, also Australian players already struggle with ping, this will kill it in Australia and Oceania.
Hey HRF!!! Totally agree, my life was silent without your live videos, happy your back but not happy with the changes tbh... Saw a vid of bugs in reforged, can you try it lols the amx driving backwards will fly it to the moon and the mt25 in training room became a terminator...
They need to learn from the mistake of War Robots and NOT have commanders behind a paywall. The exception is skins to change your commanders appearance.
It's awful across the board. It seems to me that WG just want to confuse everyone into a new cash grab business model. Those commanders are only there for WG to have more stuff to sell. The new graphic are worse in term of style. It's that entire reforge that is UNREAL

Pretty sad that your biggest issue with this horrible update is missing showing off your stats, while all the other changes truly ruin the game
This test has horrible optimization. On the current WOTB i can run on max settings at 120 fps (GPU is only running at 30-50%). For blitz reforged if i try the same settings, my GPU runs at 99% and i can only get 50-70 fps...
I’ma relatively new player (slightly more than a year, but very frequently), but agree on stats; if stats and win rate is removed (in general or for random battles) I will also quit the game more or less.
So the nearly 8 years I spent getting my skills tree to 100% what’s for nothing…… the money that was used was for nothing…….. all so the brain rot ADHD kids don’t have to grind way to give your veteran players the finger…. i’m offer including everyone but get them up to speed accordingly no more camping sniping E 100s no more front line Yolo, bat chats or tvps
I love the fact that WG said “We make Blitz to be appeal more to general Audience” And I just keep asking myself? Apart from Tank enjoyers, who else? Your target audience is not Fortnite Kids. They don’t even care about tanks anyways. What they should focus on is Tank and Military Lovers. That’s what WOT appeals bests. Especially Tank lovers hence people love to drive tanks. “General Audience” would gives a shit less or two about tanks. Then, why don’t you try to make FPS games as a separation then? Maybe an FPS Games compete with Battlefield games. Instead of messing with the old games that try to pull target Audience that isn’t care about tanks just because Brainless Investors told you so. Shareholders have no clue how video games works. They just telling demands after demands that is pointless to the game. I can see Reforged turns into OW2 not Hero Based but how heavily Monetization it will become. I can see that OW2 style of market in WOTB. Heck, it so identical practices that I suspect that. This might be the same Shareholders who doing shares on OW2. I’m just disappointed at WG. They used to be a decent company.
This is nonsense... We want better match making, a honor system that can actually stop the trolls, ghost shells, unregistered hits, better UI, better optimization and pens that do nothing.... We get all the bad with this update with added pay walls, currencies, p2w and other nonsense... You want to know how to kill a game? Take notes from WG....
I think Wargaming is trying, which is good, but the steps they are taking to implement feedback is just not great. I personally think the objective of Sets is to try to force newer players to play similar tanks, with non-varying playstyles, to minimize the people playing tanks that just clearly have no clue what is going on. its honestly not a terrible idea, but the problem is, it takes away from the experience for everyone else. Imagine deciding you want the 183, for example, and having to play that set until you can level up to unlock another set. you have effectively locked yourself into playing what is for most an unenjoyable experience, to get a tank. this model also really doesn't accommodate for niche tanks. think a new player, has just downloaded a game, and decides to unlock the batchat set. they are now locked into that, and even when they do unlock a new set, they will not have transferrable skills. the nice part about the current sandboxy type of gameplay is that if you aren't good at a tank at a tier, you can go back and play tanks similar to it at a lower tier, and still get some rewards that will in some way boost progression. so not only are you getting better at playing a type of tank, but you are getting rewarded via free xp and such to contribute to grinding further down the line. another huge problem this creates, that I feel is not being talked about enough, is player retention. ignoring the vast swaths of people that have said they have no interest in playing if this update gets implemented, imagine being a new player and not being able to try new things, and being locked into a single line that, I might state, you have no clue whether or not you will like. Again, while It may build competency in such tanks, it can be boring playing similar tanks and will likely lead to high player burnout. my biggest problem with the new vehicle system, is the resources. ignoring the fact that wargaming just reimplemented spare parts (remember those), they are adding tonne's of currencies, which, lets be honest, is just bundle fodder to throw at the player. the inability to sell tanks means that you have to grind for everything and good luck if you buy a high tier tank you don't like. I personally like the current system of a universal currency but it is understandable that wargaming would try to introduce a more rare commodity that is actually desirable to players with 1 bajillion credits. I think my biggest issue with the system though, is the loss of free xp. Free xp gave you as the player the freedom to try tanks, allowed you to skip tier 5 and 6 (both tiers it is difficult to find a game in) and allowed you to not play tanks stock. Now I can't recall wargaming saying they are going to remove stock tanks, so Im left assuming they are going to make you play the stock tank (woohoo) The other major issue is quite simply the destruction of balance implemented by this update. Now I trust wargaming in saying they won't add OP commanders (they have kept their premium nerf promise this whole time), so Im not too scared about that. (its gonna happen though, it seems likely to me at this time it will be sorta like a clash royale type thing, wherein they add a blatantly op commander, ignore it for a season and then nerf it to then ground, repeat ad infinium), but my biggest issue is that commanders are inherently imbalanced. As it currently stands, given an identical tank, both players fully have the capacity for it be equal draw. the only thing stopping you from buying provisions, is your own credit balance etc. Now with commanders, through no fault of your own, you have to play at a disadvantage because you didn't grind the 2027 schmorbengooble event, and are now in a statistically worse tank, leaving you at an imbalance. it seems weird and counterintuitive, to, in an update designed to appeal to new players, implement a feature that inherently punishes newer players. for those that are saying that they might be permanent additions that are always available, don't lie to yourself. I think the new armor highlighting looks ass and as Fatness did mention the graphics will be straining on mobile devices, but I play on PC so whatever I can't really comment on that. I do want to quickly mention that I personally believe that the changes to stats are fully intentional and designed to minimize bullying and toxicity within the blitz space. E.G think the idiots that type "nub idiot 40%er" in game chat. make no mistake I believe they are stupid but I think its part of a broader push to develop an easier playing environment for newer players. so yeah, whether or not that approach will work remains to be seen but I believe its stupid (remember its the player who are toxic, not the stats themselves) So yeah, overall I am disappointed, Blitz has been a constant throughout my life and to see it go the way of war robots would be a shame, I think the new physics are great but I just can't see myself playing if this update were to become the new blitz. As for wargaming my advice goes as follows. make the new player experience better by separating them from the toxic players, not by trying to silence the toxic dudes. reimplement and flesh out the lower tiers, make playing lower tiers a fun environment to build skills in, and not an arbitrary barrier to tier seven so they can learn looking down the barrel of a smasher. but of course you won't do that because you need to sell your beloved sandbox containers full of old tech tree tanks TLDR: Wargming try make new player expericence good, make bad instead
For me its the opposite, i can relax in ranked and play any tanks I like. In randoms i always have to swat so my winrate doesnt drop. Additionaly removing win rate could make the game more layed back and could help with not to judge people to quickly and in return not getting judged.
Agree. The obsession over win rate is bad, especially because it can be inflated by platoon play, starting new accounts, and exploiting preferential matchmaking. Whether to remove it totally, not sure. A rating that's based on other attributes is a better option. Perhaps win rate can remain a private feature.
Droodles went trought all the changes. 9.5/10 are bad... the commanders being fortnite characters and goofy voices i do not want to hear now on all my tanks. Amazing
They can sell keys. Here is my advice to everybody... When the new game drops 1. Park your current account, don't play it all 2. Start a new account and play that - just have fun, if that's even possible 3. Don't spend ANY money on your new account 4. Watch how quickly WG walks back some of the changes If you complain but keep paying, WG are getting exactly what they want. It's up to you.
Turns out some adults _do_ play this game. Very small percentage, apparently; judging by the comments. But, you've got people who are spinning up emotions for their own purposes, taking advantage of the fog of future change. Some even see themselves as some kind of Temu digital Che Guevara, leading the revolution against the evil moneygrubbers who _force_ you to spend money on a game they gave you for free. _I hope Alexandra realizes that's an ambush looking for a place to happen and is unlikely to be productive beyond the grandstanding litigation of hysterical whining._ I like Fatness' approach.

(And maybe demanding to be the moderator between the angry, frightened Salemites and the witches they're being told should burn.)
I like Commanders besides their voice and look. Though these guys have been in the game for a good while. I hate Steel, that should not exist. Also, I do not like the Sets. I do not mind their concept but they should have all of one line in any given set. Also, ditch keys. The Camo interface is also horrible.
Most of the full body meltdowns are based on complete ignorance. No one played the update yet still they react like dolts. Even once the test was live, lies and misinformation were being propagated, like with keys. People were sharing an image of them in the shop and declaring the game as "pay to play" yet ignored the fact that keys were also obtained by playing the game. Buying them is actually to accelerate progress (just like many parts of WOTB already), not for access. For most of us, most of the sets will be open anyway because we would own a tank within them already. As for sets, yes, they are for newer players because the existing tech tree and XP system were too complicated. Also, new players will only see a few sets at the start, not all 80 like those testing now, so, again, a false perception is being propagated. Yes, commander skills replace the entire suite of largely invisible crew skills. Those skills gave veterans a huge advantage over newer players by default. That's now gone. Also gone are provisions, as you say, so again the default tank package is much weaker than before. Commander skills therefore improve a much weaker tank, meaning the actual gain is smaller than the raw figure suggests. I actually love this inclusion. It's much better, transparent and fairer. Best advice of all is this is test! WG won't listen to the hysterical bots whinging non stop. They need constructive criticism from people actually playing the test. Thank you for providing some.
@2underground4u Simply saying I'm wrong is the mentality of a whiny child who hates the truth. Most of my response is from watching the stream and endorsing everything HRF said. If I'm wrong, then so is he. 🙄🤡
@halbailman @halbailman I wasn't going to waste the time showing you but since you answered here we go... You get keys by leveling you say? So a new player has access to what sets? Also you get like 3-4 keys a lvl up and some sets take 12 keys to unlock... So 4 lvls for 1 set? Tell me that's not a paywall for new players? Old players will have all the keys and most sets already unlocked. This is a literal stomp out of new players. I'm not whining I'm calling a spade a spade. Your take is bad and so is your attitude. I have explained in great detail what this game has needed for DECADES that we still don't have... And guess what this update makes most of what we wanted fix WORSE ... THEN you have the brass ones to come on here and shill for a money grab? I've been playing this game since it dropped. I'm tired of MM, ghost shots, unregistered hits, pens that do nothing, trolls because we have no effective honor system that punishes grieving. The fact you came on here and said the above shows you know absolutely nothing about the game, the update or WG. The ONLY thing I agree with you slightly on is this is a test and they have a chance to roll this back but I know WGing and they will absolutely not so there you go... You wasted both our times....

This is not an update, but a new game
Yea at this point
@dennis_s4078 The core game remains. 7 vs 7 tank battles and researching new tanks by playing the game. 🙄
I’m done too. The only reason I keep playing is to improve my stats.
The best update we could get is to get no update at all .
WG is remodelling the game to appeal to kids. Feel sorry for everyone that is being rear ended by this "update"; particularly top players like HRF
I think they look at you because of your stats as one of the best players in blitz and your opinion is truthful
I agree, I have played 10k+ games and not 1 ratings battle. I'm older and not great at the game, but stats are the only reason I play. I enjoy a relaxed style of play, also Australian players already struggle with ping, this will kill it in Australia and Oceania.
WG should just add a portal within the current game to get this version if you want it or make a whole new game.
theres no problem with current game physics, graphics and ui. why change it?
Fatness having a PG droodles moment made the stream, also providing a good glimpse into the down fall of blitz. Or at least the OGs.
Something cannot be the same but different.
Why can’t they have realistic looking commanders at the least?
Yeah this looks terrible 😂
Hey HRF!!! Totally agree, my life was silent without your live videos, happy your back but not happy with the changes tbh... Saw a vid of bugs in reforged, can you try it lols the amx driving backwards will fly it to the moon and the mt25 in training room became a terminator...

Damn I can’t even figure out how to play one of my tanks, it keeps loading the T71
Water looks good thats about it😅
Wtf I’m going from a ping of 30 to a ping of 220, how’s that good?

I think Wargaming is trying, which is good, but the steps they are taking to implement feedback is just not great.

Does someone know why I can not have my old legendary camos back? The game wants me to pay 1.1 mio for camos, which i have previously owned
For me its the opposite, i can relax in ranked and play any tanks I like. In randoms i always have to swat so my winrate doesnt drop.
Additionaly removing win rate could make the game more layed back and could help with not to judge people to quickly and in return not getting judged.
True
Agree. The obsession over win rate is bad, especially because it can be inflated by platoon play, starting new accounts, and exploiting preferential matchmaking. Whether to remove it totally, not sure. A rating that's based on other attributes is a better option. Perhaps win rate can remain a private feature.
New game?
I have been playing WOTB since ‘15….have played it to the exclusion of all other mobile games and if they ruin it like this…I’M DONE !!!

Its a pathetic cash grab..cut me off mid game and wont let me log back in

It'll get better, I'm optimistic they're listening... the boss himself spoke directly to the player base... and the end product will be considerably different from what we're testing now.

Mass hysteria has never been a positive attribute in a community, and, like Salem, there's always someone trying to gin up that hysteria with self-righteous indignation.
