World of tanks and it's less terrible version but ugly mobile version blitz. The company actively despises it's playerbase, and I want to play a game like it but they all give up and copy them.
Armoured warfare was fun until they turned it into a clone with co-op. War thunder is more realistic and that's cool but mostly just annoying.
I just want more tank games that are fun to play and not microtransaction driven.
Years ago I started on WoT and went to WoWS and was immediately hooked. Loved it at first but they really do not give a shit about their player base. I haven't logged on to either in about 3 years.
I go back to World of Tanks every once in a while but it is impossible to enjoy it even though I want to. The concept is great, there are tactics involved, but the skill ceiling is just too damn high. So now whenever I get the urge to play, I instead watch a couple of streamers. Skill for his entertaining streams and well, skill (but he gets annoying when he starts raging about not being able to achieve his personal goals), and Dez for the generally chill vibes.
World of Tanks would have been a great game had it not been plagued with the entire pay to win aspect. And don't get me started on the whole crew training and retraining nonsense. I hate that aspect of the game, and still don't understand it. Do I keep the trained crew in a tank I enjoy playing or move them onto the next tier tank and then have terrible stats on the new crew and lose interest in the tank I started enjoying? Uff!
I just logged in every once in a while, but round Christmas I would play more to get some drops for fun. Then they changed the Christmas thing. Uninstalled and never looked back.
Came here looking for WOT. Yup, it’s crap but i keep going back, largely because i don’t know how much gaming time I’ll have due to other stuff going on and each round is 15m max.
Hate the microtransactions, and some of the playerbase is pretty toxic.
