WoT for Xbox – Stream Q&A

Source: http://world-of-ru.livejournal.com/3399886.html

Hello everyone,

this post is based on a transcript of a WoT Xbox stream with Alexei “Inaki” Ilyin and some guys I’ve never heard about (I assume they are from RU community department). It was transcribed as usual by Maiorboltach, thanks.

The following answers concern WoT for Xbox. I am not sure if there are any Xbox players reading this, but… well, just to be sure.

- in current update, the status of WoT Xbox tank amount reached the state the PC version was in patch 8.10
- there soon will be “super platoons” of 7 people, which will be balanced against other “super platoons”
- if the game “has a cybersports future” (not sure), some cybersports options/activities will be added
- WoT for Xbox One will appear only when Xbox One surpasses Xbox 360 in sales and popularity, Inaki added that the Xbox One social component is still too weak, especially when currently WG is experimenting with Xbox 360 social components
- there will be no mods in Xbox WoT, ever
- currently, developers are considering adding penetrable soft objects
- clans will come “when it’s done”
- there will soon be “skins” for Xbox profile avatars, that the players will recieve for achievements in game
- Xbox version is not a PC port
- developers know about the players lacking more aim reticle UI customization and replays, this will come “when it’s done”
- upcoming patches will include only maps that are already in the PC version, plus some tank branches
- upcoming patches will not bring barrel rings
- balancing the PC and Xbox version is not connected, Xbox version collects its own statistics
- ingame missions will come soon

  WoT Xbox just did what Apple did – same shit with different name = “its new!”.

- there will be no mods in Xbox WoT, ever

This is a godsend for the xbox wot version because they get to keep their tracers, so please don’t whine about it guys.

Not to mention a lot more cooler UI.

Interesting… I wonder how different the two games will become over a period of a few years.

Well considering they chose to not nerf the SP its annoying to see 6-7 in a match occasionally even with that rediculous “Merica” paintjob, they nerfed arty’s aim but not the reload so it is still annoying to be permatracked by arty. But the inclusion tracers do in a way nerf TDs by making it possible to derp Hellcats and Borsigs who don’t relocate. And on the Topic of UI they have been adding some features of XvM, EX: Proxy spot indicator, Cap Timer and players in cap, and a damage counter. Plus for all those people who dislikes the state of PC ATM the Bugs are very small and minimal.

- WoT for Xbox One will appear only when Xbox One surpasses Xbox 360 in sales and popularity, Inaki added that the Xbox One social component is still too weak, especially when currently WG is experimenting with Xbox 360 social components

So they want 60M+ consoles sold before they will make a Xbox one version that’s years away did they not say they wanted like 6 million a couple of months ago the Xbox one has almost reached that mark.

They want the Xbox One number of online people at once to surpass the 360 version.

Cant happen, PS4 pummeled the shit out of that PoS console :(

And PC laughs at both as its simply better at everything and cheaper…

  First off how can it not happen take that fanboy shit and piss off. Maybe if you actually used the Xbox one maybe you realize how uninformed you are its a fantastic console.
  - Alexander Yordanov on July 22, 2014 at 7:26 pm said:
    
    Ohh it will happen in 4-5 years.
    The PS 4 would have done that in 2-3 though.
    
    Unless many people make the switch.
    
    Id rather not pay 500 dollars for inferior hardware to the PS4 that is 400.
    
    Though id rather be on PC, for 500 dollars I get something as powerful, with cheaper games, MODS, backwards compatibility, more games, emulation etc.
    Just cant beat PC.

      You do realize that the Xbox one is now the same price as the PS4 now. The Xbox one is the better console I should know I own both the PS4 OS is a dated pos that hasn’t changed in years its basically the same 7 year old OS from the ps3. Microsoft online service Xbox live is superior in every way xbox one exclusives are way better for now and Microsoft updates the console with new features every month the ps4 hasn’t had any new major things since launch a update here and there nothing that anyone cares about.
      
      As someone who plays alot of PC yes its great but not everyone can afford 800$+ for a decent rig and update it every 2 years consoles provided a place for people who just want to play games and not have any hassle you should take it as such.

        Same Price, weaker hardware. That counts.
        
        Dont know on OSes. Both are inferior to REAL Windows, Mac, Linux.
        Xbox Live is paid. Inferior to STEAM, GoG and even Origin in function. Inferior in everything else to a real OS.
        
        Good PCs similar to PS4 in power are around 500 dollars. Not 800. 800 means VERY high end machine that skull fucks consoles.
        Update 2 years… that is a lie.

        I cant be arsed replying anymore because you are clearly a pure PC fanboy. You also clearly have no idea what your talking about. But I will say this the Xbox one runs pure Windows 8 with a UI over the top.
        
        That’s it not replying any more I was hoping to have a decent conversation but that’s not possible as you clearly cant be unbiased.

        To me its obvious you are a console (Xbox One) fanboy.
        Not even one fact used well.
        I know its on Windows 8 except its just a SHIT version of windows 8.
        
        Can I do my work on it? Probably. As well as on a PC? Nope.
        
        Do games have mods? NO.
        
        Backwards compatibility? Fuck you consumer, no.
        
        Emulation of old consoles? Yeah right :D
        
        Are they expensive? Fuck yeah they are.
        
        See where I am getting at? Its fine liking the 10 exclusives it has. Its fine liking how it looks… hell I like the Kinect (PC version, will order the new Kinect 2.0).
        But everything else? Nope PS4 is the better console overall…. and PC makes both look like shit.

WG chosing xbox 360 shows that they always cater to the bottom feeding scum of the playing world.
menawhile on the more realistic, correct and fun camp they:
chose PS4, because… it’s far more powerful than the xbone, duh!.
AND it’s not a different game, it’s the SAME GAME and players play on the same servers and matches regardless of platform!.
and that is simply AWESOME, true unified cross-platform play, no treating console players like 2nd class tards that cannot handle advanced controls

and that makes WG decision even more pathetic, because they needed to dumb down an already very dumbed down game for controller gameplay, whilst gaijin with a control configuration that spans 3 different control modes that can have dozens and dozens of control ported the game straight up!.

The “other camp” will also add support for the new NVIDIA tablet which means it will support Android and maybe iOS in the future.

Anyways, I’m really interested in the concept of the two games and if WoT’s “one device, one game/server” concept will work out over a longer period of time.
