Atleast we get the chance to create some dank memes out of this shitshow.

WGNA are a bunch of retarded faggots. Just when the drama was about to be over they go full autism mode. You can't even mention anything about the drama on the WoT NA forums or else the mods will delete your thread within minutes and give you forum bans. They truly are the stupidest gaming company alive. If WG actually goes after Foch and this goes to court somehow I would personally donate money to Foch's case.

OP please all you have to do is post the link for the embed RIP though, I remember when I was a noob back in 2013 and found jingle's channel, I loved all of his old videos where he played the ISU 152 like an idiot but laughed manically when he one-shotted tier 6s. I haven't watched much of his content for the past 2-3 years, but I appreciate his contributions to the community, his general positivity, and his passion for his channel. I have no idea what kind of PR disaster is going on, this seems like some kind of KGB tactic to use the "SJW" trend to moderate negative content that goes against WG's policies and economic interests (as I have no doubt that WG doesn't give a rat's ass about the internet culture war). Whatever's going on, this announcement is HORRIBLE news for WG. I don't even know how you can recover from your #1 content creator jumping ship. Maybe Jingles will get a nice letter and check from Victor Kislyi and a Belarussian mail-order bride to bring him back into their fold? But this seems like a pretty definitive decision. I only wish I could see what is going on in WG internal emails and video conference calls right now... This is absolute mayhem and I have more than enough to enjoy the storm

the thing is, why the fuck is NA putting their input into it, its an EU drama ~_~

Logged onto wotlabs tonight thinking "Damn, I really, really hope someone made a thread so I could discuss the terrorist attacks! It's not like I have the option to do that on facebook, twitter, the comments section of internet newspapers, dedicated politics forums, etc... No, I come to wotlabs to talk about this shit!"

Wow, WGNA publically taking a retarded stance on something for once? Why am I not surprised? Friend of mine was banned from the forum for 30 days for posting a screenshot his platoonmate took of him accidentally glitching outside the redline with all names covered aside from the screenshot taker's, though he appealed it and they gave some sort of apology that was probably a copypasta reply and even went to say that it was a "system" that "automatically" banned him and moved the thread to a hidden forum which is obviously bullshit. Here's the reasons listed: Name and shame, UNCONSTRUCTIVE, and apparently trying to start unrest by revealing a possibly massive exploit and asking WG to fix it. I really wish you could see the moderator who issued the strike/ban/etc's name on the warning. More on that here if you're interested. This isn't the first time WGNA has enacted absolutely retarded enforcement actions nor will it be the last as evidenced by what they said about Foch despite WGEU apologizing about it. What gets me is why WGNA out of all the servers think they can afford to be shitty to someone undeserving and who hardly even plays the NA server (atleast to my knowledge, correct me if I'm wrong) and making sure everyone and their mom sees it as opposed to their usual hush-hush style of moderation and banning. Ya know... because NA has the second lowest current population out of all the servers? Meathead even approached poshy and basically told him he'd be a Community Contributor if he toned down his language and insults, though according to poshy he said it far less formally than that and whatever he said apparently seriously pissed poshy off to the point of blocking him on twitch/ingame and kept on trucking with his charity donations and entertaining viewers. I detest that to be a CC you seem to generally have to be a super PC nice guy; IE fucking boring and not worth watching. There's quite a few streamers out there who wouldn't even have a viewer base if they had to abide by these strict set of rules and essentially be another QB. If WG wanted more people to be attracted to WOT, they'd go with the more outlandish and actually funny streamers who are entertaining to watch and not impose the threat of DMCA or straight up removal of CC status for their style of delivery. Who the fuck even wants to be a CC at this point? The main thing that gets me is how fucking hard would it have been to message Foch and say "Hey man, can you chill with the insults to our company in the future, please? We love your content but don't curse our name since you're a CC and all." and letting it slide this time? I never saw anyone mention that they warned him before hand in a reasonable way, seemingly just taking harsh action and making up that he "used homophobic slurs" that I've yet to hear in any video of his I've seen. It's sad that the fucktards at exposingwot are starting to look less like tinfoil hatted stay-at-home dads with mental deficiencies and more like they actually got something right for once in a way.

Finally get a spare moment to chat only to discover that chat is kill 7

Because the staff are incompetent.

The chieftain is too historical for WG to bring back, plus it has weak spots in the form of its hull, both of which go against WGs balance policy.

Can we all stop with the whole "pay to win" stuff? "Pay to play" is more correct. Not really serious, but kinda serious...

So after buying the GTX 1080, I've now bought Battlefield 1, Overwatch and GTA V. Rip money, having a job is dank and FeelsAmazingMan not having a trash PC.

WGNA felt the need to justify this retardation to Jim Sterling by making a fool of themselves.

This. All it means is he won't be getting access to new ships and tanks beforehand and he will be doing less wargaming content. Which is understandable since he genuinely likes Wargaming games, although i can see him dropping it completely if WG decided to go full gaijin and actually strike someone.

@RollerCoaster47 You really don't mince words, do you?

Fuckoff WarGaming.

It seems you have been to the WG school of PR...

People are too dumb, too lazy, and often both to even try to lead a thought of their own. If a person they like and follow says something and it does not appear to be totally wrong to said lazy and dumb people at first glance they will agree and go with it. Pretty simple, I'd say.

An article worth reading. https://ritastatusreport.live/2017/05/23/the-chrysler-k-in-the-bigger-picture/

pffft, as if they ever actually talk to each other. Thats the biggest problem with the whole damn company, everybody in their community relations dept from forum mods up is just freelancing. I can just about guarantee that when Ph3alan made the original threat of a copyright strike, that he had not queried their legal department first, just like when WGNA posted that vague as fuck veiled threat they probably never ran it past Cyprus. In my world if an employee cowboys up and makes a threat of legal action they would be fired. At WG, they get invited to spend a week at Serbs moon base. I mean seriously, can you imagine Sony or Nintendo allowing regional community developers to just wing it and make shit up as they go? WG has always treated outreach amateurishly going all the way back to 'how terrible' and 'working as intended'. Now they are just letting low level muppets channel their own inner Serb. Cyka Bylat commrads

I can only imagine the conversation between WGEU and WGNA is going to be like today

Is of a simple fact: if yuo don't remove kebab, then kebab removes you.

That's not funny, not even with the kappa.

Kemp boosh?

This morning in the WG EU offices: WG_EU_Community_Manager: I think we have this under control. At the very least it can't get any worse then it already is. This morning in the NA offices: WG_NA_Community_Manager: *walks in, sees that EU is resolving their problem, decides that this just won't stand* HOLD MAH BEEEER!!!!!!!!!! Several hours later at the EU offices: Jingles: I'm out, bro! Random less important CC: Me to! WG_EU_Community_Manager: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.

Inb4 Jingles logs in and recieves a permanent ban message from a "rogue" employee for reason "Homophobic slurs/Stepping Down"

To be honest, my guess from personal cultural experience is that the Russians were like "cyka blyat, we dont understand americans good", so they went ahead and hired someone who advertised themselves as a person in tune with the US business scene and gave him free reign. After that, said guy likely went ahead and just hired his friends rather than actual competent workers. It would explain the super cringy world of tanks ads that usually make me embarrassed to be playing. It would also explain the sudden extreme SJW response to foch, since theyre automatically just doing what corporate america does, rather than being actually fucking competent in communicating and analyzing a situation.

Its not so awful anymore. https://www.mediafire.com/?dbyxq2bja5n4ats Type 62, averages right around 2k dpg for 40ish battles. It used to be bad, then it was good, then it was awful, and now its pretty good again, except that terrible HEAT shell cost that just needs to be brought down from 12g/4800silver to what? 8? 9? So that even when you pen your gold shells you aren't losing credits. Its not like the 62 makes massive profits anyhow right? Oh and a bonus Lakeville domination from Friday http://wotreplays.com/site/3603139#lakeville-crabeatoff-type_62

That would be a group, mensch = person, menschen = group of people Not my fault english has so many usefull words, yet at the same time lacks many usefull words In regards to the OT part: This is a forum about world of tanks, Sir foch streams world of tanks, talking about an OP / badly balanced premium tank, which will influence our world of tanks games. Meanwhile a world of tanks forumtard admin goes full retard on said world of tanks streamer, leading to a small ``shit``storm. Did i mention this was a forum about world of tanks and that we discus world of tanks topic(s?)

xaxaxa)))))

Fuck arty Wargaming

They'll probably anounce that they are planning to re-balance t8 non-prem tanks over the the next 15 years to bring them in line with the interesting and dynamic premiums.

There are some features from TS that I miss, but on the whole Discord is a much more useful program. At the very least it largely eliminates the need for a website and forum, and the regular upkeep that those entail. Also, that mobile app for Discord can also be used for voice chat. I've used it to listen in on clan chats before when I couldn't be at my computer.

When I look at this I see an apology and then then they gloss over the rest of the issues that were raised (like where the game is going, and the behaviour of certain WG staff) and put it on the CCs and apparently it's the guidelines that were at fault. But apparently they will have a statement ready on P2W at the end of the GFs so maybe there will be something to that -- or maybe they are waiting for everything to blow over. Latest from Jingles:

I am in RUST as well and prefer Discords sound quality. Once you get used to the interface it is very good and you have a single page with tabs for all the different Discords you belong to. You can use only web interface or a client. The is a phone app for the texting feature. It is a complete package.

france can not into TD's comrade

WG RU probably do everything carefully and actually understand the players because they all speak the same language, and if they screw up the playerbase will destroy them

well, jingles said he was just resigning from the CC program, not ceasing WOT/WOWS videos. but he is diversifying as well. Aging Jedi is doing the same thing

aging jedi is gone too

Should boil down to telling the other regions: You follow our policy, or

The standard of TIM is to not actually have any CW experience. Must be 100% pubstar and not listen to caller.

This game is so wack sometimes. The game before I get Prok at 94.73%. Both enemy E100's and Maus go 1/2 and push it out. I go to try and salvage hill and get suicide yolo'd by a 57. Drop to 94 flat, then I get the final game.

I personally expect it to be within 1 tier of each other. If you're 2 tiers different, you're playing like adz... aka wrong.

i hugged one in my e25 today and laughed as he tried to scrape me off and failed at it.

I'm weighing in to disagree with my friend Archaic's archaic philosophy of censorship. In the 18th century, typical Americans didn't work for huge corporations. They were craftsman and small farmers, who were either their own boss or who aspired to be the boss in the foreseeable future. And they didn't get their entertainment and information from media empires. In that setting, it made sense to focus almost solely on government threat of censorship. Things have changed. Now the capitalists whom we work for and who provide our information and entertainment have the power to shut us down, in a way that didn't exist in the 18th century. Concepts of free speech and censorship must evolve accordingly. I'm not okay with being a wage slave. (When faced with a rebellion of his employees, my favorite Marxist, Groucho, said: "Wages? You want to be wage slaves? Answer me that! Of course not. What is it that makes wage slaves? Wages! I want you to be free. Strike off your chains! Strike up the band! Strike three you're out! Remember, there's nothing like Liberty, except Colliers and The Saturday Evening Post. Be free, now and forever. One and individual. One for all and all for me, and tea for two and six for a quarter.")

Yo, dude, calm your tits. For the sake of keeping this (reasonably) civilized, you can take this to PM's with Fox if you continue to be this assmad. The topic may be pretty insignificant compared to what you're trying to argue, but the topic is the topic. Let's keep it on the rails.

They are probably planning to introduce Chieftain...but one of these: 1. It will be CW reward and complete trash. 2. It will be part of new heavy tank line which have practically unplayable tier 5-8 and tier 9 has unplayable stock grind. 17pdr at tier 8 probably 3. It will be tier 10 p2w cashgrab premium tank. Ofc with black paintjob. That being said, i guess #2 is most likely. They actually rumored about 2nd UK HT line at some point with Valiant and stuff like that but dunno. They are new lines for this year. Its strong candidate as one of the lines among with Jap TDs, 2nd French HT line, Swedish meds and new LT line (most likely for brits). IIRC they said somewhere that new nations are not coming this year (wotexpress and never got translated into either TAP or riturdstatusreport)

How to contradict oneself in 2 sentences. I also love how they use the SJW-definition of "hate speech" and "homophobic slurs", i.e "everyone who hurts my feeling deserves to get lynched :("

I've just watched his original video, and I think WG went pretty easy on him. He has valid points about this tank being another in a long series intended to force players to fire prem ammo, but if his intent was to make WG think again he went the wrong way about it.

This^. I'm not really feeling the nerf and I need all the help I can get at tier X. Just need to be a tad smarter how I play it. Much less yolo face-hugging and I'm having better games for it. .
