Yes, when playing on the test server I met a bunch of people complaining about that, but personally on my desktop pc it ran with the same fps.

Regarding the f2p: ofc it’s a marketing strategy. Personally I am one of the people who are paying for premium account and it makes things a lot more comfortable and being able to grind faster, receive more creds & xp, makes the game more enjoyable ofc. But if I wouldn’t be able to afford a premium account I could still play this game with my friends. That’s why I prefer this over a monthly subscription.

But all in all I totally agree on everything you say there. Games could look already way better considering the hardware today, but they just don’t get developed for this kind of hardware, because the cash-cow are casual players – mainly playing with consoles or laptops, not nerdy pc-gamers with a hi-end rig.

That’s a development in gaming that really makes me sad tbh. Because the quality of the games suffers a lot from that. And it’s not only the graphics, it’s also stuff like the UI (e.g. the horrible inventory in Oblivion/Skyrim) and overall the depth of the games and innovation in game design. Good example are all the shallow CoD clones.

When they talk about roadwheel camo looking weird are the meaning if the wheels are a solid colour or with camo pattern on them?

I would have expected the roadwheels to be a single colour and a mix of the camo colours on the wheels.

For example an all white winter camo would have all white wheels. However the russian brown and white winter camo could have a mix of white and brown wheels.

Please tell me how HD is a set of codified requirements and not a marketing buzzword to make something new seem better than another older thing.

True, but that still doesnt change the fact that “free to play” is only a bullshit term used in marketing. As well as “HD textures” is another bullshit term used by WG not have anything to do with High Defenition to beginn with.

Then implement something that really makes you feel like you are driving a tank.
ERGO: The game is only playable in REAL tanks while driving.
There. Then i could really feel the power and size of a tank in action!

So remind me again how many things there were in WoT that you can ONLY get with money?

Your grasp of the underlying business logic seems a little skewed in general. They don’t have to, quote, rob you of enjoyment if you don’t pay, unquote; they just need to *make paying attractive*.
These are not the same thing.

I’d rather have the Icarus Landing System, my flat is at the 4th floor, I could climb down faster this way.
