Hello everyone,
Wargaming recently released an information that the Xbox beta servers for World of Tanks will go offline on January 29th in order to prepare for final release, that is apparently scheduled within few days from this event. There is no definitive date yet, but it most likely will happen in the beginning of February.
Is mods supported on the WoT Xbox version?
Consoles VERY rarely support any.mods at all. So no.
Hampers badly done DLC practicea and gets in the way of annual releases…
Inferior version for rich console peasants…
Good luck WG. Decent bussines move for the US bad in the long term. Splitting the community and limiting yourself to a console…
how are they splitting the community? those who dont have a PC capable of running WoT can play it on their xbox if they have one, those who have a PC that can play WoT and they’ve already gone far into the game will most likely not switch to the xbox version.
If you can afford console gaming, then you ABSOLUTELY can afford PC gaming.
And as long as I can not play with the Xbox players whilst I am on my PC, then it is splitting.
The only problem with this, is that you need xbox gold live account to play… and that costs money. But this is a “problem” of the xbox, not WG!
Dude, it’s more or less the same as paying your Internet bill. I bet you can’t play WoT without Internet now, can you?
Except one is limited. Guess which one?
Yup.Xbox politics sux.
On XBOX you have to pay for the internet and XBOX live. On the PC you only need to pay for the internet. Can you guess which one is cheaper?
I LOLd
Its like paying my internet bills twice.
Hahahah, Misko :D
Yes, because I’m sure that’s ALL Xbox Gold is good for.
Pssst. Hint hint. There’s more to it. In case you’re too lazy to read, you can:
- Steam TV shows
- Get 2 free games a month
- Not deal with Telia.net’s bullshit
WTF is Telia.net?
There are more free games on PC then the combined number of all exclusives of the 7th gen consoles. And some are VERY good. Ohh and mods…
The shows thing can be done on a PC too.
this will be the 2nd wake up call to WG’s shitty business decisions
OK. Can you tell me how much more you have made then WG the previous year due to your good business decisions? OK, maybe you run a small fresh startup, lets make a different analysis. By how many % more have your revenue increased during the last 2 years compared to WG?
Just leave the idiot, all he can say is utter shit. He just keeps complaining about world of tanks, no matter what. I really wonder why he keeps playing it. Its more then a year already, it started on overlords blog. I haven’t seen a single positive word of him.
Shut up shill!
WG keeps alive not because of their “sound ” (not) business decisions, but because WoT is popular
if WoT would not be popular, WG would be still an unknown name in the industry just as it was prior to WoT
case and point – just as they commissioned WoWp
how this works for them? very bad; this game will not turn a profit for them, not now, not in 3 years time – because the number of people playing it is very very small
at this hour, prime-time for EU, there are ~4800 people connected on WoWp EU server
it’s direct competitor, at the same time, WarThunder boasts 50k connected players on EU
at the same time, WoT EU (1+2) has ~207k connected players
now, let’s get back to why WoT XBox edition was a terrible business decision:
- aimed at a single console
- aimed at a last-gen console
- you need XBLA gold subscription to play multiplayer games, WoT XBox is not an exeption
- people who bought the next-gen consoles will most likely disregard the old XBox 360 – because they invested time and money into the new console already
- “have you seen TitanFall ? “
“I’m taking a break from WoT to play WoT on Xbox” Said no one ever.
Different markets, smart boy. Not everyone games on a PC.
Seriously, what is it with all the hate in these comments? If I didn’t know any better, I would’ve thought I was walking in on a religion debate. The ignorance is equally astounding.
Same thing I say to people that game on consoles…
meanwhile, warthunder is available on PS4.
srsly who cares for lastgen? well WG sure does. it optimzed WoT for medevil PC setups aswell.
I’d forgotten about the 360 version of the game. Does this mean they have tier ten trees yet, or still limited to tier 6?
