Random drug screening at work: (false) positives for EDDP, Buprenorphine and Fentanyl (all very heavy painkillers) together with the prescription stuff I have
I was legit spiraling down a "my life is over" trip wondering how I'd explain this one.. result was sent to lab analysis for further investigation and thank god they could see that parts of the profiles necessary to be legitimate were missing.. those were some rough fkn 3 days of hellish anxiety knowing i didn't do that but thinking i was going down anyway

In Germany we had an underground neonazi "terror group" (2 men + 1 woman) causing havoc some years ago ("NSU"). After they were dealed with their DNA suddenly surfaced in a murder/rape case concerning a prepubescent girl. The press ofc went amok, after a few weeks it turns out the same laboratory that handeled the terror group also worked on the murder/rape case of that girl.
They ofc had nothing to do with the murder/rape.

Would you say the game has improved over the last 6 months?
I think it might be the first time the reception seems to have trended upwards for WoT since like 2014

I think the game has gotten better the last 6 months.
Field mods was a nice QOL improvement, the last few maps added have been above average, recon mode or whatever it's called has been pretty nice, hell, I even like the addition of tier 9 for frontlines.
I've played more this fall than at any other point since probably 2014.

@sr360 yeah I was curious since I finished my missions and don't need bounty GLD on my arty but yeah VS, Vents and IAU work well for me. Cursed with 91% and now dropped to 88-89% after getting punished for that 7k damage/2050 exp game with steamrolls on ensk.
-
hmm, thats rly sucky aim time, yeah, i would put optics / lnes and last slot gld (i think and no stab) i personally thing improved aiming is a waste on almost every tank, for med / heavy its imo always stab / rammer, and last slot rotation / turbo / vents / gld, depending whats sucks the most (tds can be played so different, hard to generalize)
-
@GehakteMolen IAM is amazing on autoloaders tho and imho since it affects your accuracy at all times makes a big difference.

Goddammit feeling the urge to play again...
EU/RU accounts to sock very welcome, stats will obviously be worthwhile as long as credit drop isn't an issue

I always wondered why WoT never had people doing mechanical deep dives. The climbing era was probably the only thing that resembled anything near it where you really took a close look at terrain and how traction worked.
WoT is just so incredibly lacking in any sort of information to use for it.
I for one would really like to know what decides when a physical texture can be fired through. It is by all means possible to do it but the visual/physical texture relation has nothing do with it and there's no real explanation as to why it should even be able to occur in the first place. It's a solid texture your tank can interact with but still fired through.

Yeah I’m halfway through and felt that I could’ve started there and had the exact same amount of context which just doesn’t bode well in terms of me appreciating it
Samurai Champloo sold me on the first episode though. Hiphop beats and fight scenes just hits different, good recommendation!

Writing a pretty extensive topic on improving for higher level players (2000+wn8 above) but it'll apply to everyone, just that those people will comprehend it better.
If there are any questions you'd like me to include, I will as long as the topic isn't finished by the time it's asked. This is a general improvement guide, so nothing map/tank specific, but larger concepts. (Improving situational awareness for example), if there are any: ask!

Been struggling with tier 10 since coming back - jesus christ this is awful. If you don't play something OP you feel like a tier 9 in a tier 10 game.
Got an account with a 0 game FV215b that I marked (69 games, just barely 4k dpg lmao) - wound up running the equipment piece that prevents fires and the same directive after the same amount of fires as amount of games in a 10 game session (got lit 3 times in one game...) but after that I never got set on fire again. Totally worth putting those up and giving up vents so you can actually use the HP without a fuel tank fire. Been noticing that a lot of casemate TDs are running new equipment as well (7.5s was pretty much enough RLD to permatrack anything until it dies and it is not anymore. It's closer to 6, so I'm assuming it's the equipment since it also varies heavily.)
907 yoloing with optics+directive is sort of working, I'm keeping 85 but getting good enough of a session without a derp to fall back down after climbing up is so rare with how common the absolutely worst maps are. I have played 8 times the amount of Erlenberg as I have Prokh (assault and encounter enabled), I also get a lot of Kharkov and Abbey that keep showing up too and these maps are just too poorly designed to get a good enough gameplan to fulfill the damage requirements. There's just no play that works well enough.
I tried tier 8 as well, and it's like a different game played on the same board. You get away with so much stupid shit because of gaps in view range and the overall skill level. It makes me feel like my mechanics are super clean as I can poke in to tanks pre aimed at me and fire, pull into safety/unpennable angle before they fire - but at tier 10 that is just wishful thinking.
Long way to go, I hate being this derpy in game quality which is what I'm going to work on but tier 10 is so ass..

@Snoregasm2 it's much worse now. 1 year ago non meta tanks were gimped but playable.
Though I think the meta on EU is shifting so recently it's even harder to adjust. 3k dpg in STB, 3.6k dpg in Jagdzilla... makes sense.... -
@hazzgar agreed it is crazy bad right now, but my point is it has been a weird, downward slope for a couple of years. There was a point after MM changed when tier 10 instantly got gimped, but then it stabilized for a while, but then started heading downhill again. Not sure there's one factor to point to - my guess is a combination of more campaigns to add more rewards tanks, easier pickings in lowers tiers (especially at tier 8 ) taking away a lot of the shitters/less dedicated players from tier 10, the addition of imbalanced tanks (60tp for example), armour creep from reworked or new-ish tanks (IS-4, 705A, E 100) making shitters pick arta/TDs that allow them to do damage - all of it adds up over the years to what you have now, which is disgusting.
I agree with the earlier sentiment that the hardest thing about it is the lack of consistency - games are just so fucking random and unpredictable. For players like me, with good (but not elite) mechanics but better map awareness / reading game flow, that just cripples me.
-
@Snoregasm2 no weakspots/tiny weakspots or rather hulldown meta + gun handling creep. So when people are in position you can't dig them out when they are not they are instapunished.
For me I have issues with t10 only. Though it's mainly because I often get distracted by stuff at home. So I get stretches of purpl play and then stretches of teal play when my GF unplugs my pc or the cats needs something. Watching Iyouxin and some better fame guys helps.

14/30 games on Fjords/Erlen today... what the actual fuck wargaming
-
This is more and more common recently. Really not fun for 3 marking. I get 3 mark variation but going +/- 7% in a day is a bit silly when you get 2 maps over and over again.
Also are you constantly getting the same spawn? I remember getting only north spawn redshire for 2 months.
I remember getting 4 Karelia defense spawn in 6 games when I was marking t-92 like a month ago. Ironically the results were not good because my teams all went to the sides and 0 tanks covered mid as the new meta for losing defense.

Uni work officially submitted and only grammatical/small math errors that need fixing for a passing degree in data engineering.. so I've got a lot of time on my hands now.
I decided to commit back fully, only playing tier 10. Tier 9 is still the same, 4kable- but tier 10 is very different since I really quit maining the game. I came back to check my level - and mark the new rewards (Chief was a bitch but 279 was fkn easy lmao no clue what that fuzz is about) and then AFK until I had some free time again usually for about a week every 2 months of stuff I can focus completely on things like this, it's too much freshware to play every now and then so playing in bursts always does the trick for me - but now my games have been so infrequent lately the past year that there are 3 maps I still have absolutely no clue what to do on, parts of maps I literally haven't visited or can even orientate firing angles at, and mechanically refining still needs work. Decisions made that can only be assumed as lapses of complete intellect happen and my awareness has gone down to roughly 10% slower. Lead preaiming predicting (a third step to pre-aiming where you predict your shots needed lead for as much aim time to happen as possible between swapping aim dot positions is a skill that I can still do on reflex and sometimes all the other parts are also there - not just all of them simultaneously like they used to. Doing this status mainly to mark the date of the commitment so I can go back to it and see the the progression of how long it'll take to get that good at T10 again - estimating about 3 months until 5K DPG on the non OPs but holy shit man, tier 10 is hard now. The difference between tier 9 and 10 (which used to be the closest) is now the one most far apart. looking forward to the grinding process, it's limit testing for now a while until the limit testing turns somewhat reliable into consistent which requires a pretty extensive game count. Wonder what it'll end up being.
What I'm doing is the 7th 907 mark to start, spamming until completion (starting at 65%). It's not as good as it used to be in the games current state so it's going to be harder than ever. I've played heavily past week purely limit testing (yoloing ilke a fucking monkey in the 907 with iOptics and directive since I had like 500 of them from event to see the possiblities. 5k combined even in this meta with 530VR is still fairly easy to hold, but I now went back to iVents and rammer directive to see which one progresses more quickly. (I decided to spend 600 bonds on demounting the iVent and use bounties for this so I can swap playstyles at will)
Everything but Carro/that WZQ and 777 and E6 have been done, and I can't get my hands on the WZQ/777...
Now I'll stick to one account only btw, makes tracking so much easier. It's on this account I've done all the hardest ones and have everything important but listed above, which have all the CW rewards marked but E6 and VK72, I've done half the T10s on the acc already so it's a great starting point for pure tryhard.
I guess this is my job now for 3 months.. cool ... been a while since it was

Big congrats to you man for uni :-) On a sidenote, a big undecisiveness is that this game for me, also thought about coming back and start a new account or something (a new acc on ebay with 1 tier X is like 15 euro so not a big deal) but I also invested many hours in league and since I found a support main to play adc with I kinda dont want to waste that. I thought about moving to EUW next season mainly cuz EUNE is near unbearable with this many aram players. A fresh start would be nice in both games but since I also got promoted and have to write my thesis I doubt that I will make any serious decisions in this year..

what if u could have duplicate tanks in the garage to rotate?
i'd love to have a secondary instead of having to wait for a game to finish
2 907 and PTAs so I can just grind without any downtime whatsoever.... sounded great until I realised this just made botting up a tech tree a whole lot quicker

so the e100 turret is just unpennable now? 907 heat 23/17/2 flat
